GROVER and Daniel cannot agree
concerning the terms of that letter of
acceptance, hence this delay.
PUT pin right here. 1t will take
more than wind 1000 miles from
home to open Arkansas Pass.
GALLANT Phil's remains will rest
in Arlington National cemetery, over
looking the broad Potomac.
THE railway surveyors are making
tracks for Llano and squirting to-
wards Brownsville. Arkansas Pass al
lows nothing to pass that is in sight.
Open the gulf pass and the road will
multiply miles like South street dogs
on moonlight nights.
LET all the south west counties fall
into line with the suggestions of Gen.
Ross letter published in yesterdays
LIGHT, and send at least one dele
gate to Denver for the convention to
b, held on the 2Sth of this month.
WALKERS Division, ex-Confede-
rates, H. d. Pearce, secretary of the
association, notifies all comrades that
they have agreed to meet in San An
tonic on the 10Th inst, and all COM
rades are ordered to fall into line.
That is right. Santone has room for
all.
THE italian padrones seem to have
taken the alarm and are no longer
landing their pauper emigrants in
New York Harbor. Are they landing
them elsewhere? The congressional
commission will do well to keep
sharp look out for the slippery fell
lows.
A FLANNEL shirt has no more show
in sheol than Gladstone or Parnellite
amendment has in the house of COM
mons. In the parliamentary commits

who refuse to make full and tue dis
closures was rejected by 191 to 121.
THERE was no council meeting
Monday, but Alderman Kalteyer got
in some good work yesterday in COM
polling attention to the gross abuse of
privilege on the part of those inter-
ested in the Cross Town railroad.
His honor coralled the papers and
the result will be watched with in
terest.
Hon. LEVI P. MORTON surrenders
his seat as director of the Canadian
Pacific railway and sunders all con-
nection with railway corporations, as a
preliminary to his election to the Of
flee of vice president next fall. This is
as it should be. The republican office
holders, in esse and in posse, under
stand the eternal fitness of things.
WHEN history passes out of its per-
sonal period; that is, when passion
and prejudice die, and the events, of
which men were the prominent actors,
are Judge of independently of the &C
tors, then will General Phil Sheri-
dams place in history be correctly
designated. Until then he can afford,
his admirers, and this great loyal
people to whom his deeds have en-
deared him-these all can afford to
wait and abide the verdict of time.
1t will matter little who outranks or
underranks him in the final judgment.
The true place that of right belongs to
him is all that he would claim living
and that shall be given him dead.
THE Bracket News, replying to the
eulogium of the Eagle Pass Times up
on Mills, says:
eyes, the people of Maverick coun-
ty, ought particularly to be proud of
him. Here are thousands of acres of
land worthless if not used by the
sheepman. One of the principal in
dustries of the county is wool raising.
Throw up your hats then, we horny
handed sheep raisers, and hurrah for
the man who wants to destroy the
