AN AGENT of the sun set road was in
Boerne on Wednesday" says the Ad-
vance, examining into the business
prospects, growth, etc, of this section.
lie had been over the route surveyed
by the Sunset company two years ago
for an extension of that system from
San Antonio to the Northwest. As the
agent was not on holiday excursion it
is presulnable that the Sunset company
desire to tap this fertile and growing
section of the State before the Arkansas
Pass and San Antonio company get
ready to extend their road to the.North-
west While We would much prefer a
railroad owned and controlled by San
Antonio, and run exclusively in the in
terest of the section which 1t penetrates,
rather than one forming but link in a
comprehensive system and subordinated
to the best interest of the whole system,
still we need railroad badly and will
heartily second and welcome any we can
get. So San Antonio must at once push
her great railroad, which she can make
vastly beneficial to her own prosperity,
to the northwest, as it may soon be too
late"

THERE is some talk of running ex-
President Arthur as a candidate for Gov
ernor of New FORK, and while it would
be the first time IN the history of the
United States where an eX-President be-
came Governor, it would not be very far
out of the way, considering the fact that
New York's vote elected Mr.. Cleveland.

then no one is building n road to " Ar

do no harm. Ground, however, has been

The st. Louis obe-Demoorat says.
The oiiense of Mr.. Nlmmo, lnte Chief
of the Bureau of Statistics, was the
writing of a letter to a country news
paper, in which he showed that the
larger portion of the population, prop
erty and general progress of the coun-
try was to be found in the Republican
sections, and that it would therefore be
unwise to place the control of the Gov
eminent in Democratic hands. His fig
ures were taken from the census reports,
and coHld not be disputed; his deduc-
tions were only such as would occur to
an ordinary business man, looking can
didly at the relations of cause and effect.
This was offensive craftsmanship in
the eyes of the present administration;
but 1t was entirely proper, according to
the same authority, for Democratic
speakers, since honored with high and
responsible offices, to so about the ooun-
try last summer declaring that protec-
ton was robbery, and that the Republic
cans had 'honey-oombed the public SER
vice with corruption"

TIE San Marcos Free Press confesses
to "a positive and growing dislike to
the common run of politics" This is n
confession that 10 editors out of 100
will make. The work done for political
parties by newspapers Is the most I'M
satisfactory, and the least recompensed
Of any in their line, and at the same
time it is work that is demanded at all
times by the leaders as being necessary
for the party. But there is growing
inclination to treat politics us a matter
Of business, and make the men who
want to live by Ofllce pay for honors
they seek. 1t il the common run" of
politics to work for nothing, and that
editor is not to be censured for his dis
like OF the business; when he gets it up
to the uncommon run, and makes candi-
dates and parties pay Legitimate adver-
tising rates his dislike will not be so
great, and his receipts will be some
what in proportion to his work.

SAN DYER, n bold, bad man, shot down
in cold blood, a few days ago, Sheriff
Ragsdale, OF Savoy, and wounded his
deputy to the extent that he died Of his
wounds. The local authorities were
defied by him, and 1t was presumed that
he had sought safety in the Indian Ter
rltory, but instead he was captured
under cornorb at his home and made
no attempt to shoot. lie was taken to
ial, and was so anxious to get behind
the bars that he went in on n rush. A
jail is too good place for such cow
ardly murderers, us n general thing.

What is Cuero and the Huntington folks
going to do about it? Here is a fine
chance for us if we but improve the OPP
portunity to secure a new outlet.
There's millions in it, The freight on
potatoes and onions now transported by
wagon to San Antonio would pay for the

THE metropolitan papers are full OF
reproaches against Gladstone for Eng
lands back-down from Russia's de-
mands But it was one of the times
when blum and buster did not nor could
not win. 1t does not look possible how
ever for MIR. Gladstone to entirely lose
the confidence of the British people in
the face of the magnificent oratorical
victory he recently won in securing the
vote OF credit of Sjj, 900, 900 to be used In
the Soudan and other operations. But
there liz no question but what Russia
has proiited largely by the concessions
made, and will promptly push her col
umns and interests eastward

ONE or two more bad breaks of con
victs like the recent wholesale escape in
Brazos county, and the state convict
system will be settled. The Legislature
wrestled with the question, and then
gave 1t up in disgust. but Texas is plenty
able to take care of her criminals, and
should do so, and the remedy in one re-
spect is to build pcnltentiary large
enough to meet the demands of the
State, and thereby do away with this
premium upon crime, by the hiring out
system. Prompt and swift punishment
will lessen crime to very great extent.

ROLLER SKATING.

It will be remembered by all who
have attempted to exercise, that it is
very unique exercise and induces
profuse persperation and fatigue. I'm
der such circumstances people are
more likely to take cold Those who
have visited the skating rink have
observed how careless many of the
young people are in this recreation.
They dash about for hours in the
heated rooms, and when the time comes
to go home they find the cool air rath
er refreshing than otherwise. They
walk through the chilly streets while
yet perspiring from the violent exer-
else. All this tends to pneumonia
A little roller skating or dancing
might be healthful, but it should be
under proper precautionary conditions.
The exercise should not be to protract-
ed or violent. The dress should be
appropriate and the change of dress
should conform to change of tempera-
ture. A young woman who would go
out into the open air in her full dress
after vigorous dancing would be
thought very indiscreet. Yet the
change is quite as marked when young
girls start for home in street costumes.
and then go out over heated without
change.
Young friends disease is sure to
come from this carelessness. Take
these gentle hints therefore from one
who knows whereof he speaks Profit
by them and avoid the penalty that is
sure to come from neglect.
