Mr.. Coleman the new commissioner ,
Of agriculture seems an energetic
man, and one not afraid of his res
possibilities. He reads the lately
passed laws as permitting him to
slaughter all diseased cattle at the ex-
pense OF the general government, and
proceeds at once 10 put matters in
train to accomplish the work without
delay. This same ruling will of
course obtain in Spanish fever and 1t
may be "stampcd out" in the same
way. If so, may we not ask If the
general government viii not see to IL,
that this pretext be no longer used to
prevent Texas cattle from entering
the grazing fields aud markets of
competing states. If not, then Texas
should at once proceed to force the
exclusion of all cattle, horses, mules
and sheep from all other states. This
of course will not offset the evil en-
tirely, but IL is the heaviest shot We
have to return them, aud we believe
in making them feel Il to its out side
ounce OF weight. There is another
way in which we may find outlet be-
sides that proposed in the direction of
Cincinnati: 1t. is by establishing a
line of refrigerator ships to New
York aud Boston, and thus meet the
Chicago butchers on their own chosen
domain. IL this were done there Is
not the shadow of doubt but we
could put down meat in those
markets, including ALSO Phil
adelphia aud Baltimore at
price with which they could not
contend. In this way can we soonest
force the resembling of the onerous
aud unfair laws passed by the north.

open up again to the catilemen OF
Texas the markets of the northwest

that line of trade is more profitable
! still than the direct shipment by
steamship to the northern cities we
have named, which we doubt yer,
earnestly.
