his visit to Texas at this time had any
significance. He said it mad, that he

fangementS to extend the Fort Worth d
Denver road further into the Panhandle
district. Upon enquiry he stated that
he would give Dallas an equal standing
with Fort Worth as regards freight,

Mr.. NANCY, in his Interstate COM
tnerce speech in the senate, stated that
The wealth and power Of railroad men
were increasing dangerously fast, and
that Mr.. JAY GOULD controlled almost
every railroad in Texas. There are
other men besides those interested in
railroads growing wealthy--the Stand
ard Oil company, those engaged in iron
and coal interests, end in fact it seems
tc be natural with oil men to accumu-
late riches, AS fat as JAY GoULDis con-
troll of railroads in Texas is concerned,
the people Of this'state were benefited
by his acquiring such control. Freights
and passenger rates have been lowered,
the tracks have Teen put in better con-
dition, better cars have been placed on
the roads, trains have made faster time,
and the people of Texas have little cause
to complain of Mr.. GoULD's manage
ment of the roads. Give credit where
credit is due.

BlSMARCK,S HOSTILITY.

In is so manifest that the German
premier who rules both Germany and
its imperial family is a square and open
enemy Of this country that none may
deny it. On the question of meat i'm
portation, the LAsKER business, and
now in his influencing the reischstag to
treble the duties on American cereals,
none can fail to see a rancor of hatred
10 our people and their institutions.
This is the moro remarkable at first
glance, when it is remembered how
many of the Teutonic race annually
come to our shores and make America
the home, from which many relieve
their transatlantic friends.
And yet this very circumstance-the
fact ofthe great tide OF yearly emmigca-
ton from Germany-may be the very
reason thet animates this arch enemy of
Republican principles in his active
measures against American interests.
1t is well known that the improved ia
cilities for travel and the thrift of the
German population here have caused a
large and increasing number of Germans
to visit the old country every summer.
These, finding the contrast between
their new home found and the increased
harshness Of BJsMARCK's despotsm,
have never failed to express them
selves very plainly in the Father
land as well as in America on
their return. Especially have they de-
nounced the standing army quasi en-
slavement and this system is the pet
and darling scheme of tle autocratic
minister. Never has he ceased to de-
nounce Republicans, nor has he ever
omitted to stamp liberal ideas as social
istic. BY some means or other he has
maintained his power, principally, it is
supposed, from his success in the
Franco-Prussi m war.
But it is as we'll known to the declin-
ing statesman as it is to outside OBJ
servers that the spirit of Democracy is
only suppressed for time, and is con-
stantly increasing in undeyeloped
strength. When the days of BISMARCK
are passed and the inevitable har-
vester has gathered him into the garner
OF mortality, there will be an
outburst of popular rebellion against
wrong and oppression, the like OF which
has never been witnessed, even in
France. Knowing this, he writhes in
his declining years, as he, in his won
derful sagacity, perceives the sure indi-
cations Of the approaching storm. He
may tax his people as much as he
pleases on the bread they eat, but the
vengeance of an outraged populace may
yet, and even before he dies, tear down
the fabric OF his oppressive institutions
and proclaim a great and universal free
dom to Germany. By the way, it is a
striking fact that the same reischtag
which trebles the duties on American
edibles discriminates in favor of auto
cratic Russia by failing to increase the
tax on Russian wheat.

No doubt many cattle and sheep have
persisted In all parts of Texas during the
late storms and cold weather, but the
number, it is thought, has been greatly
exaggerated. 1t is true stock in many
instances entered upon the winter
months in poor condition, but the cold,
wet months of February and March,
whom cattle and sheep are still poorer in
flesh. are the most disastrous months on
stock In the year. A cold blizzard from
the north in March, accompanied by
rain. will destroy thelives of more range
stock than a half dozen dry northers in
December and January. 1t is TO be
hoped the severe cold weather has
passed In Texas for this season.

Col. JAMES ii. BRITToN, state rail-

. faithful, efficient officer. He has full
filled his duties to the letter. But after
all his laborious attention to duties,
what benefits have resulted TO the
state from his work, The question
Can be answered in one woodworking.
HIS suggestion that the office be abol-
ished Is the utterance Of an honest man,
for he well knows that he could retain
the Office for two years longer, II he de-
sired the position. Lot the office be
abolished, and IL does seem that the leg
islature should end Its tinkering with
the railroads until they give some evil
dence that they are pursuing course
detrimental to the whole interests of
the state. There is too much Of this
Rutabaea cant about railroads oppress-
ing the people.

THE Oklahoma boomers will have to
go, and it is right they should be com
PEELED to leave the territory. If there
was scarcity of vacant lands in the
United States there might be some
excuse for their actions, but they can
come to Texas, settle on equally as good
or better agricultural lands, and have a
long number of years in which to pay
for them. Their object seems to bo to
get the lands for nothing by occupying
them before they are thrown open to
settlement.

In the battle between the English and
the forces of the Mahdi at Abuke wells,
the former lost heavily in officers. Nine
commissioned officers were killed out
right and nine wounded. The report
says there were siXty-fve non-commis-
stoned officers and privates killed, and
eighty-five wounded. If this report be
correct, it shows terrible slaughter OF
officers compared with prtvates. The
probabilities are that the report is incor-
rect, and that the number of killed and
wounded among the privates was much
greater.

1t will prove a "work that, in the end,

deeked the annals Of any country in the

In speaking of the large amount of

grass which is owned by individuals
must be made free to the public, just
that long will men be afraid to use their
money in Texas. The cash that would
be circulating among the people will re-
main locked up in bank vaults, and
times will be hard"
