A CORRESPONDENT calls attention to the
importance of moving beef from Texas
by refrigerator cara to our northern mar
kots. His suggestion is worth the careful
consideration of northern and eastern cap
italIsts. He contends that 10 moving Tex
e cattle to Chicago they become more or
less heated and unhealthy on the trip and
also lose flesh. As q remedy he proposes
that they should be killed and shipped
direct from the. plains where they are
raised, In retrigerators, aud that refrigera-
tor warehouses should be built on the
lines Of Texas railroads. II New Zealand
can ship her mutton TO England in refriG-
orator ships there can be no doubt that
Texas beef could be shipped in refrigera-
tor cars to all parts of the United States

THE Washington correspondent Of the
Louisville Courier-Journal says that Sec
retaries Eadicott aud Whitney "are absent
from their places of business so much that
their present prolonged absence occasions
no remark" And this strong democratic
authority adds that 1t is said TO be a fact
that the present cabinet officers have taken
more leaves of absence than those of any
previous administration. The secretary Of
war does not spend oDe-third of his time
at his Office. and the secretary CT the navy
is continually travelling between New
York City and Washington.
