be built to Floresvile at once, and from
thence 1t ia likely to be extended to the
coast In Southeasterly direction. The
distance between Cuero and Floresyllle
is only GO miles over almost natural
roadbed. Direct railroad connection
with San Antonio could be had by build
ing 60 miles of road from Cuero TO Flo
resville. Such road would prove one
of the best paying ones in the state and
the people along the line would sub
scribe literally to the enterprise. San
Antonio would have the nearest possj-
BILE outlet to deep water, Cuero would
have greatly increased shipping facill-

be opened up to settlement. Who will

Russia is evidently determined to
have war with England says the
Cincinnati Times-Star, land is pursu-
ing much the same policy she did just
previous to the Crimean war. She had
then spent several years In getting
ready, as she has been doing since the
Berlin Congress, after the last war with
Turkey. At one time there WAS every
indication Of II peaceful settlement Of
the then existing difficulties. when the
Russian Ambassador at Constantinople,
Count Menschikon, son of Peter the
Greats pastry cooks friend, demanded
new concessions, and by his insolence
to the Sultan and his advisers virtually
forced them into war, IN anticipation
Of which Russia had been placing her
forces at numerous strategic points. II
was doubtless n surprise to her when
the European allies came 10 Turkeys
assistance, and she has never forgiven
the English tor the prominent part they
took In that struggle. Russia has not
until now felt able to contend with the
British upon the field Of battle, but huv-
ing made great preparations she seems
determined not to let the opportunity
pass to strike u blow before her foe can
thoroughly prepare for the conflict. II
will be observed that whenever the in
dications have seemed strong for pence

BE,ps1rEfrS saws: The conviction
OF Fish, the former | resident Of the
Marine bank, on the charges OF misap-
plying the funds Of the bank and max
Ing false entries in its books, must lie
regarded as precedent OF signal I'M
portance considered with reference to
the development of our criminal law. IL
establishes the possibility OF bringing to
Justice very dangerous class Of Offend
ers. who have hitherto generally es-
capped scot free, partly by reason of the
difficulty Of bringing their crimes within
the prohibitions OF somewhat anti
quated criminal law; partly by reason OF
the influence derived from the posses
sion of ill-acquired wealth, or from a
social position to which unfortunately
the eyes of the agents Of justice have
not been always blind. The result of
the Fish trial would seem to demonstrate
that the law is comprehensive enough in
its scope to protect the community
from the crimes of eminent trust break
ers and COrrupters of commercial moral
ity, as well ms from the more open though
perhaps less dangerous iilchers of the
property of their fellows. Looked at
from this point Of view and in the light
Of previous attempts to bring criminals
of the former class to justice, Judge
Benedict did not speak too strongly
when he called the case not alone an
important but wonderful one"

After prayer and singing, the bell
