TEXAS COAST IMPROVEMENTS.

IENAS COA0 ImfhONE"ENi -
The Texas delegation will not be
found all on one side when 1t comes TO
voting appropriations for only one har-
Dor on the Texas gulf coast. Congress-
man Grain puts himself deliberately on
record as fayorlDg each harbor on the
coast to the extent Of securing for each
the largest possible appropriation. He
further expresses the opinion that the
demand OF the entire Texas delegation
for the ooncep tration Of all the appro-
priations at one point would not be
needed by congress. The resolutions
passed by the southwestern convention
are in the line OF usual con-
gressIonsl action. Those passed
by Galveston were not. The only de-
parture taken by the convention in San
Antonio from the usual method was in
asking for the expenditure of the whole
appropriation for each harbor as rapidly
as 1t could be profitably expended, and
this because of the nature OF the coast
which renders the completion Of the
work without delay necessary on the
score Of economy. That congress will
depart from It's usual course in passing
the appropriation bills for the
Texas coast Is very prob
lematiosl. The chances, in fact,
are decidedly adverse to such appropria-
ton. The scaling process comes In
after the engineers estimates are made,
and as these estimated usually set forth
the amounts that may be probably ex-
pended In any one year the chances OF
securing any thing beyond this are nil,
while there is a great uncertainty Of
securing even that amount. In the case
drivers and hsrbors, however, the
presidential veto must be considered,
and as that veto has been inte-posed
already, to the great detriment of river
and hsrbor improvement not only on
the coast Of Texas but elsewhere, Ii is
among the possibilities that no appro-
priations 81 all may be made. When the
mere need of political parties and not
the wants Of the country are the only
things considered there is no
knowing what the result o; any attempt
ed action may be. The whole ques-
tion Of public improvements in
these United States as well as
Others Of vital importance, are
ever subordinated to the demands OF
political necessity. The first term SER
vice Of Mr.. Cleveland has been spent In
strengthening his position for a second
nomination and endorsement by his
party, In order to convince the coun.
try that the republican party had piled
up an unnecessary surplus, the public
wants OF the nation were neg.
lected; needed appropriations were We
toed; the just claims Of personal and
national creditors were ignored or eel
aside, and all to the intent that lsrg,
surplus might be reported as arising
from reckless system of tsxation-ant
all this to make point against the re
publican party. 1t now remains to b,
seen II the same course will be followed
this session OF congress and our appro
priations for Texas hsrbors again vetoed
and sent where the woodbine twineth

Out OF the Post-Ofaee.
The Colonel had left Birmingha
without being able to getwithin twenty
feet OF the general delivery window OF
the post-ofice, owing to the crowd of
colored people, and when we got over
to Admission and found it still worse he
went outdoors and sat down on a dry
goods box and spent an hour in reflec-
ton. By and by he frightened up and
made q bee line for printing Office,
and inside Of another hour a boy was
going about the street and handing out
to every colored person he met dodger
reading:
Don't miss itt Prof. Elba and his
celebrated cundurango will arrive at
the depot at three p. m. this afternoon.
Only one ever brought to this country.
Colored people can see it without
charge. =
At two o'clock went with the
Colonel to the post-office. There
wasn't . colored person within block
OF il, and the postmaster was almost in
q doze. At two o'clock we went down
TO the depot, and there were seven or
eight hundred colored people waiting
around to see the spotted cundurango.
