tn THE MEXICAN RAIDERS. ~
The raid of four Mexican. soldiers upon
American territory and their sttempt by
force of arms to carry back with them 8
deserter from the Mexican army, is q
matter for the attention of the State De-
partment at Washington. That Mr.. Bay
ard will recognize the gravity of the Of
tense we cannot doubt, and It is equally
doubtless that Mexico will make ample
reparation. Mexican punishment is swift
and awful. 1t is but few months since
a lieutenant and two soldiers were sen
fenced to death for the very ofsnse that
Lieutenant Munos Is now guilty Of, and
Notwithstanding that Secretary Bsyard
officially solicited mercy for the offending
soldiers, and asked that the sentence be
modified, it was vigorously carried cut.
They we're shot. Such prompt and ex-
treme action shows that the Mexican gov,
eminent is determined to prevent, if il
possibly can, the occurrence OF anything
that can disturb the harmonious relations
of the two republics, and justifes the
belief thst the offenders in this last case
will not go unpublished.

Under date of February 90 Mr.. Joseph
Knight of Ash Creek, MIMI, writes Mr..
T. A. Wilkinson SIS follows, and the let
ter shows the Importance of active, ener-
getic efforts on the part of eur people to
keep the ball rolling that was set in mo-
ton last December:
have carefully read your circular in the In
terest Of immigration, and examined the route
of the railway mentioned. In my judgment 1t
Is a fortunate location and can see no reason
why It should not eventually become the main
stem of q railway system of great importance
and profit both to those directly Interested in
the success of the road and TO the section of
country through which It passes, and consider
that you are fully justified in undertaking to
create favorable impression relating to the
enterprise and also the region of country that
will be tributary to the road when finished.

THE agricultural classes Of this coun-
try, even in the sheep growing district,
are willing to be deprived Of the benefits
derived from the tariff on raw wool, pro-
vided the loss be made up to them in the
way of chespened wooden goods and
other manufactured articles; but they are
not 80 welded to the idea Of tariff reform
that they are willing to pay all the ex.
penses of a revision. They do not pro,
pose to bear all the burdens while the

THE TEATERWORKS.

LIZ W u LII " OIt no.
THE GAZETTE has been informed that
certain parties desire to purchase the
waterworks OF this city. Every argu-
ment that was used in favor of tie pur-
chase by the city is far more patent to-
day against the sale by the city.
The only argument in favor of the sale
is, that the city cannot manage the works
and this argument is confession thai
there is not honor, honesty and
intelligence enough in the city
TO elect honest and intelligent
men to the City Council If this is true
not only should the waterworks be sold
but application should be made to disin-
corporate the city.
But is this true? The waterworks
service is fully as efficient as is that Of
the gas service, and the latter is rendered
by private parties.
Fort Worth is growing more rapidly
than st any time during Its history
Capital sees the immense profits TO b;
made by investment in the waterworks
and for the seli-same reason the people
should not sell the works. With cit
control of the works, the profits can b
utilized to reduction in the water tax
with private control, It will go into TIL
pockets Of men st distance who will b,
interested only in giving the least amour
Of water for the greatest amount o
money.

WHAT has become of Fort worth's natural
gas we'll? It seems to have been originally
struck in THE GAZETrE's Standardization
News.
There WAS never any Fort Worth ma
tural gas well, and the DeDison paper
knows 1t. The item concerning the Palo
Pinto county gss well was sent out from
Fort Worth, the great news center Of
Texas, and some Of the northern papers
confounded the location of the well with
the city from which the report Of it was
sent out to the world. Fort Worth has
no natural or indigenous gss-of any
kind.

THE MAN TO BEAT COKE WITH.
Our esteemed high-tariff, anti-Deme-
cratic contemporary, the San Antonio
Express, ventures the opinion, "Thst
many, very many people of Texas would
like to see Hon. John Ireland sent to the
United States Senate there can be no
doubt, but he lacks essential qualidca-
lions with those who usually cast the
electing vote, though the next legislature
may be differently constituted"
Cropping in the dark, THE GAZETTE
asks, Who are the people, and where are
they, that would like to see John Ireland
put in the Senate, and why do they want
to see him there? They cannot be very
numerous, for when Mr.. Ireland was q
candidate for the Senate year sgo, fox
the second time, they made very small
showing in the voting.
The only conspicuous position that Mr.
Ireland has ever held in Texas was the
position OF Governor, and he wss chiefly
conspicuous there for his failure to sup
press the fence-cutters and his success in
leaving an empty treasury as heritage
to his successor. And-yes, he did write
an article for the North American Review,
purportiDg to be brief history Of Tex.s,
that was SO full of plumbers and inaccura.
cles that school children criticised 1t and
wondered if it was really necessary to
know anything in order to be Governor
And this is the man whom the protec-
tionists of Tsx,s would supplant Coke
with!

certain what public sentiment is on this
subjsct, and urges the retention Of the
waterworks by the city because this paper
believes it will be for the public good
through sll the years Of growth 10 which
Fort Worth is destined.
II the people of Fort Worth oppose this
sale they should look to the aldermen
they elect next ninth. Men without
identity of interest, permanent and posi-
tive, with the city should not be chosen
to vote on proposition which SO vitality
affects the people as does the water
supply,
