THE MOORISH DIFFICULTY.

The foreign dispatches this morning in
dictate peaceable settlement of the misun-
derstanding with Morocco. The sultan,
il is announced, is willing for the matter
to be left to the decision of the repres9n-
tative of Morocco and the United States
consul. If they cannot agree, then a third
referee from Europe is to be choseD,' and
his decision must be final. This would
appear to be very direct aud short way
of ending the quarrel, but also one more
favorable 10 tho Moorish side than the
Americans, because the ympAthies of q
European commissioner would more likely
go with Morocco than the United States.
Another dispatch says Mr.. Lewis, United
States consul, and the prime minister Of
Morocco have signed an agreement to
leave the displty to arbitration.
Altogether, it looks like we shan't have
a brush with the Moors, however enliven-
ing that might be in these dull piping
times of peace" Indeed, an amicable
settlement of the muss is undoubtedly the
wisest policy for country, like ours
without navy. If the United States at
tempted to coerce Morocco, what ride
ulous figure we should cut among the
nations, sending a few old worm eater
bottoms to lombard the Moors into sub

RATES OF SUBSCRIPTION.
A VICTORY FOR AUSTIN.

Victory has perched on Austins railroad
cause. More than the actual moneyed
bonus of eighty thousand dollars has been
raised, one half of the right of way has
been donated; and all Chat remains is the
other half of the right Of way end the
depot grounds in this~city. This should
not cost more than ten thousand dollars,
and about third of that has been prom
ised. It may be taken as fact assured,
Austin will have, within the year, the
Ara1sas Pass railroad running to the gulf
Austin has not done nobly for town
that is used to raising such bonuses, but
she has done most nobly for town that
never tried such thing before. This is
the entering wedge between her past and
her glorious future. She has squarely
toed the mark; she has done, or almost
completed, her duty, and she will have the
railroad. We are aligned with the
rapid rush of progress, and henceforth
we will keep abreast of any city in the

THE HOOD CAMP RESOLUTIONS.

The preamble and resolutions adopted
yesterday at the meeting of the John b
Hood camp, in the interest of the home
for INDECENT and disabled ex-confederate
soldiers, will attract attention throughout
the state, and especially where there is a
man who wore the grey. The resolutions
drawn by Mr.. Shelley and Endorsed by so
distinguished an ex-confederate as Gene
raj Walker, are virtually confession that
dependency on private assistance is a
failure, and that, if the Home is to CON
tinue to be run, help must be had from
sources other than those heretofore
available. The camp propose to seek as
sissance from the state, and committee
composed of some of its ablest members
has been appointed to that end.

uting,seventy- five millions annually among

Lines From Lampasas

Special Telegram 70 the Statesman.
LAMPAsAs, April 10.-Mr. Cleveland and
other proprietors of the Park hotel ar
rived in Lampasas Monday night. They
will put the management of the hotel in
the hands of Mr.. Holton, a genial gentle
man and an excellent hotel man. They
will spare no expense to make the hotel
man cars will be run, and reduced rates
from all points will be made by the rail-
roads. The hotel will be open for bust
ness May II next. The rates will be very
low. If this enterprise is properly ad-
veriised in Austin no doubt the Austin
people will give it hearty support.
Manager Holton says he means to run the
hotel in the most modern and approved
style.

IMPROVE WATER STREET,

The drill board in getting up celebra-
ton that has advertised Austin thoroughly
all over this continent, and that will result
in one million dollars at the least, being
left in the city by visitors, has asked the
CITY authorities but for two things, one Il
bridge over Waller creek, on First street.;
the other, that Water street leading to the
drill ground be graveled. The city coun-
Gil decided to erect the bridges will it not
also provide for the graveling of the
street namedY Anyone can satisfy him
self, if he does not already know,
of the necessity for this work, by
driving down to the drill grounds
over that street. II has been estimated
that two or three inches of gravel can be
placed the whole length of that street for
much less than one thousand dollars. II
would be worth ten thousand dollars to the
comfort of the visitors, and no estimate
can be made OF how much it would con
tribute to the success of tho dri,l-Aus-
thus drill. Can't the street committee at
once under the instructions Of the mayor,
order the city teams 10 get to work on
that street and put it in proper oondition
The city as one man w1uld commend and
indOrse such action.

its old soldiers-the state of Texas surely
could not be censured for caring in their
old age for those-the MANNED and in
digent-whose ply steal frames were

THE freedom of the city is this morning
rendered the department of the Grand
Army of the Republic, that begins its an
nual encampment here to-day. The sol
diers of the old army are assured that
their members are as welcome to our city,
while wearing the blue and coming in the
of representatives of that vast
host of brave men who once subdued the
south, as would be our soldiers of the
grey, who fought for the south. The war
is long since over, and the war feel
ing in Austin IS not smothered-it
is dead. The annual reunions of the
blue and of the grey are merely sad retro
spects; they are reveries around the ashes
of dead camp fires; they are not fraught
with intentions or hopes for the future.
None will to-day more cordially welcome
the wearers of the blue than those who
fought them over twenty years ago.
