A. IllB construction OF ilway from
the city of San Antonio to Arkansas Pass
il progressing under the able manage
ment Of the President of the company,
Mr.. . Lott. whose name attached to
that enterprise means success. few
words about Arkansas Pass and its prob
nble future connection with the Pacific
coast will be read with pleasure by all
those who interest themselves to the
prosperity Of Texas. All the old Spanish
explorers Of the coast of Texas favored
the Bay Of Arkansas and the place known
as "El Copano' TO establish port OF
entry for foreign commerce. All more
modern authors Of works upon Texas
speak well Of Arkansas as proper place
to establish port. II deep water can
be secured ut Arkansas Pass as the assur-
lished at that point will become the
most Important on the Gulf OF Mexico.

ocean south OF the peninsula OF Lower
california. 1t II AT present the most
HOurlshlng port OF the Mexican RoUub-
lilo ON the Pacific. All it needs is rail-
way communication with the interior.
MaIatlan is city OF 10000 inhabitants.
Before the war Of the Rebellion
company was formed in Washington
City under contract with the supreme
Government OF Mexico, TO extend the
Arkansas Pass and Rio Grande railroad
to the Pacific ocean at Mazatlan. This
projected line was named the Central
Transit line 1t is central to Mexico,
being between the SHOWS OF tho north
and the heat Of the tropics. 1t would
be the shortest and most southern route
to the Pacific ocean, that would give
connection with the railway system Of
the United States when the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass railway
is completed the furtherest north that
gives n short line from ocean to ocean.
such II line Of railway would strike the
Rio Grande below the mouth of the Sa-
lado river in Mexico, would touch at or
near Lampasas, then continuing in a
straight line first through the States of
Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahula, Du-

ENGLAND is rapidly being forced into
the proper frame Of mind preparatory to

ment. The tax has been piled upon
everything taxable until the limit has
been reached, and even whisky would
not stand the proposed increased burden.
The support Of royalty is very griev-
Gus burden, for which England as a
people, do not receive very great re-
turn, and an aggressive Tory rule may
be able to hasten the elimination of an
event which has appeared to be long

In the region of Puget Sound they
raise wheat which easily cheats all
creation" Recently farmer brought
into Tacoma samples of seven-head
ell wheat raised this year. The
stalks are the products of two kerr
nels and are six feet high from the
root to the top head. The heads are
very peculiar, resembling u pine
cone, being thick and clumsy. One
of the heads of average size was
shelled out, and the grain counted
from the one head were 16I. Ac-
cording to this, the one kernel of
wheat yielded 966 plump, fat wheat
grains, or nearly one thousand fold.
The yield per acre of this wheat was
eighty-five bushels.

among Governor IIill's friends III
New York, who say that this effec-
tually upsets the theory that the
president is antagonistic to him, and
that the mugwumps in voting for
Davenport are endorsing the presi-
dent. The position of the indepen-
dents in voting for Davenport on
the ground that they are Cleveland
men is regarded as the most absurd
pretence ever advanced in politics,
especially as Davenport and the 9th
er men are pronounced Blaine men.

1t is the misfortune of the Salt
Lake Saints, not the fault of the
country, that they did not live in
the time of the patriarchs. Living
in a very different age and under
totally different conditions, they
must be made to obey the law that
condemns the central tenet of their
religious creed as a beastly felony.
The people of the United States can
not be induced to believe that lust
is an element of holiness. In this
republic the majority must rule. If
the polygamous Mormons could out
vote the rest of the people they
might make monogamy felony and
send men to prison for refusing to
take liberal assortment of wives.
Lacking the voting strength requir-
ed for the carrying out of such
programme, the brethren must be
persuaded or punished into compli-
wee with the laws of the land.
