prevailing opinion in New York that Gov.

fortune of the late Samuel J. Tilden Tt is
known that Mr. Iilden had much regard fol-
the Governor, and frequently gave him the
benefit of his long political experience on
occasions VIXEN the Governor. being i'll

Gen. John B. Gordon, it is positively an
nouuced by the Jacksonville Herald, has
recently disposed of his railroad interests
in Florida for $500, 000-$200, 900 cash in
hand and $500 900 to be paid in few weeks.
This, with the prospect Of the governor
ship of Georgia for the next four years,
ought to make Gen. Gordon a reasonably
contented man.
In consequence of the decision by the
Bricklayers' Union at Cincinnati not to
work where non-uDion hod- carriers are
employed, the contractors have every where

entire bricklaying force in the city, and in
directly stops work for all other branches of
the building trade.

EXCITEMENT ON THE TEXAN BORDER
The excitement at Ell Paso del Norte, grow
ing out of the sentence of Editor Cutting

the spirit Of the Texans is at the fighting
point and there is danger of conflict that
may lead to serious results. Unless some
act of impTudence be committed, we feel
sure that Secretary Bayard will have the
difficulties amieably settled, and the honor
and interests Of our Government maintain
ed. Patience and frmness will win the
victory.

else to prevent the building of a COM
peting line. Any business man can
follow the subject into detail. The
bare facts are emily given here.
The question of revising the local
freight tariff ON articles of home pro-
duction merits the attention of the
railroad company. Thanks to l.. P.
Browne, Chas. Blanchard and Others
of Las Vegas progressive citizens, a
reduced rate was obtained last year
on many of New Mexico's
products, but the matter now
needs another revision. How
is it that the Texas Pacific rail-
road can haul lumber 800 miles into
Ell Paso and sell it there with profit
at $22. so per 900 while Las Vegas,
one of the finest lumber supply points
in the west, is compelled to stand
back with idle mills because the
freight rate makes Las Vegas lumber
cost" just $23 so at the same point
These questions are of importance
to those who wish to see Las Vegas
hold her hard earned supremacy a
the leading city of the southwest an(
thinking men must seek to evolve
remedy.
