ABOUT DEEP WATER
What the Action Of the Gulf Stream 6as to
do With IL

" nat Inc ACE1On inc 0uI SJEeAm DIS 10
do With IL
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Feb. 4. 1855.
To the iitor of the Gazette.
Everything relating to deep water at this
particular juncture is of interest to the
Texas people. Galveston Islands history
is comparatively new as compared with
Rome. Historians go back no further
than Lsftte. 1t was on this lonely isle,
or fringe of sand few feet and inches
above the sea level that this celebrated
freebooter landed his plumber.
Its occupation by the Mexican govern
ment, the seat Of an important commerce
during the days of the Texas republic, its
extended commerce after annexation, its
capture By the Confederates, point to its
young life as interesting bordering on the
romantic. This brings US down to the
present t me with cyclone incidents
When Sabine Pass, Johnson's Islsnd and
Indianola were wiped from the face OF
the map at this period Galveston Island
becsma very wet, so much so sloops
navigated its principal streets. Rats
were made to move invslids and old peo-
pie from one insecure place to another,
but the God of Storms changed the
direction of the winds in time 10 save the
lives of some thirty or more thousand
people, whose fate or lot had left them at
the mercy of the storm king. They re-
jolced and the people on the main land
rejoiced with them at this Providentisl
intervention.
The gulf stream as shown by the United
States charts passes through the strait
which separates Cuba from Yucatan, and
goes on its course crossing the Gulf of
Mexico and strikes the Texas coast st q
point about sixty miles south Of
Corpus Christi Pass, then defects sweep,
ing up the coast. BY this change, in its
directions, 1t has created an eddy,
secured out the shore line of Padre is
land, down to formation of clay mixed
with shells, working out the sands, and
deep water comes very near the shore
line. In its course, northeast, il leaves
the coast of Texas for the Florida cape,
| then It fads It's way into the Atlantic.
Vessels cross Corpus Christi, Arkansas
Pass, fall of ct once into deep water,
while at the Galveston bar vessels cross
q succession of sand bars extending ont
into the gulf five miles or more. These
submerged sand ridges run parallel with
the Galveston island for many miles,
and are lost almost entirely of the
islands further south! l have presented
these facts for the consideration Of those
who take an interest in such matters,
after reading sn editorial In q newspaper
printed on one Ct the islands on our
coast. Very respectfully yours,
JOHN WILLETT.

Goodnight is q member of the execu-

county, and is hard at work filing his
county with flrst-class immigrants. But
he does not draw his immigrants
from the overburdened east. He sends
his agents 10 the lula, Qliteque and Palo
Duro brakes, where the unsuspecting i'm
migrant gets the fire wood that protects
his family from the fearful blizzard The
agent rounds up as many as ne can and
trots them off to GOodnight's Immigrants
Home, which is the Clarendon jail. Re-
Gently party of Piainview citiz Ems were

THE IRON MINERS.

The protected miners in Pennsylvania
do not belong TO the coal miners, as there
is no tariff on anthracite, but singularly
enough the strike has revealed the fact
that the iron ore miners who are protect
ed,or supposed to be, ere not accommodating
wealth with a rspidity sufficient to dem
ons'rste the wisdom of Republican meth
DDS OF preventing American lsborers from
being reduced to competition with the
"p1uper lsbor Of Europe" The press
kilograms are authority for the statement
that the miners in the iron regions make
from rs to 80 cents per day on an average,
or S237 per snnum when they are fortu-
nate enough to make full time. Bad as
are the coal miners without tariff pro-
lection, the iron miners are worse with it.

THE STOCK YARDS.

Those people both inside and outside
Fort Worth who wanted to know OF what
benefit the big Union Stockyards would
be to the city, should read the live stock
department of THE GAZETTE. The
gathering here of agents and
branches OF great live stock
commission firms of the north has already
begun, snd in this fact alone may be seen
what the Union Stock Yards will do for
Fort Worth. A certain newspaper in q
certain town in Texas should ponder this
point preyerfully.

THE PUBLIC DUTY.

There is q public duty resting upon
Fort Worth which may not be neglected
without further injury TO the city. That
duty is to put in power next April q
municipal government that will give to
the city business rather than a partisan
or personal direction. TUE GAZETTE
addresses itself to the people Of Fort
Worth without regard to their political
bias, or 10 the wards in which they live,
or to the amount ot taxes paid by them
respectively. Every good citizen Of
Fort Worth has the same personal
interest in the reputation of
the city and In its progress
and prosperity, and the man who is blind
to the causes which have brought shame
and hurt TO the city is blind to his own
Individual welfare.
The people Of Fort Worth cannot have
forgotten the "renovsting" process in
sugurated by the present city govern
ment, especially with reference to the
water works and police service. In the
nsme of "the people," the old policemen
were bounced and the officials of
the water works were dismissed.
What has been the result of this
efors to give political control to mu-
nicipsl affairs? The new appointees of
the waterworks have been finally dis
placed because of indisputable inef1-
cheney and now some of the policemen
nominated in the name OF "the
people" have been detected in vio-
lation of the law they were chosen to en-
force and defend. Shame rests upon sll
the city and the people Of. the city. should
''renovate" the source of municipal con-
duct next April.
The evils that have cursed Fort Worth
for nearly two years are the effects of 8
cause that never fails to work out its in
eVitable result. Whenever and wherever
the affairs Of city are given personal
or political control, the people suffer,
End the people alone can apply the rem
| edy.

A County Fam Only.
. Waco Day.


The Fort Worth GAZETTE of yesterday
devotes a leading editorial to the al
legged abuses of prisoners perpetrated on
the convict farm in McLennan county,
aud calls on Superintendent Goree to in
.titute strict Investigation OF the CON-
plaints. The GAZETTE Is under the i'm
preston that the convicts lsboring on
this farm are part OF the state penal es-
Enlistment, and therefore come under
Mr.. Goree's supervision. This
is mistake. The insd-
tution Is the convict farm
of McLsnnan county, under county con-
troll (subject, of course, to state lsws) I,
and is maintained by the county for the
punishment of petty offenders, whose
mlsdeeds do uot come under the head Of
felonies. The power Of Investigation aud
regulation rests with the county commits
siOrers, and the DAy can state that an in
vestigstion of the allegations will be in
stituted by the proper authorities and it
will be impartial. Whatever the result,
it will be published in the Day, full and
complete, and 1t may be added there is
reason to believe one Of the charges, at
least, will be reiuted.'

THE LEASE REPUDLATED BY TIE
LAND SYNDICATES.


The New York and Texas Land Com
psny is one Of the heaviest land owners
in Texas. Its holdings in the state en-
brace the Houston and Great Northern
snd international and Great Northern
Railway grants, aggregating, after de-
duct ng sales, about ESQ 1000 OF acres,
which, for the most part, lie in sections
alternating with school lands in the Psn-
handle. Applications were recently
made by rsngemen to the agent
Of the company to lease large
quantities of these lands, and
on being referred TO his principals were
rejected. Having determined that the
time has come to sell its lands, the COM
pany refuses to clog its own efforts in
that direction, with double-j linted al
tentative policy, which both repels the
actual settler and discoursges the range
industry. The New York and Texas Lsnd
Company is not the first Of the land syn
dicates to lead II in reputation of the
leasing IS q revenue system. For several
months the Houston sud Texas Central
Railway has only been making
leases which practically were
nothing more than grazing
privileges from day to day. Such 8
policy virtually amounted to a with
drswal of its lands from lease, fo- the in
ducement to the csttlemen to lease on
such terms is so small that but few have
aYsiled themselves Of the doubtful Priv

NEW YORK, Jan. IS.
We are very willing to consider the in
qulries of our correspondent.
In saying that we were in favor OF plsc-
ing "pretty much everything" on the free
list, we did not mean to leave the Treas-
ury Witohut an income obtained by the
taxation Of imports.
But the United States can get sufli-
cient revenue from few commodities OF
general consumption without imposing
any restriction upon trade in those ar
tlcles.
By wSY of example, we will offer the
following schedule, with the amounts
which We suppose each article would yield
without placing the duty above the rev.
enue standard:
CSHee ~ , OO,UUO
Tea NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 80, 90, 900
Foreign wine spirits and malt l!quors 100000
Foreign TOBACCO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. lOOUO,OCU
Such tariff would yield $I2O, 100000 8
year, and, together with the internal
revenue taxes upon spirits, malt liquors
and tobacco would give the Treasury an
income of $3.50, 100000, which is more
than is necessary.
Such q system OF texation would rest
upon luxuries sUlely, except the sugar
tax. AS soon as further reduction is
needed, that would be the first tax to be
repealed.
The taxation We advise would, in our
opinion, be the greatest boon to the
people Of this country that the govern
ment can confer upon them.
1t is the one that the Star favors, but
we are bound to say that we do not
expect to get it now.
