Mouth of the Brs EOS.
Austin Statesman

The people Of Texas are casting about
for an outlet to the highways of the gulf,
an outlet through which their commerce
can pass n bottoms OF the largest ton
nage, and also urtrsmmelled by wharf
companies or other em0srgoes. Nobody
in this part Of the state is particular as to
what point will afford US deep water, so
We get it. If il can be gotten at Calves
tor, so much the better, and we shall all
be glad of it. But If the jettY system on
Galveston's outer bar, which was almost
completed by Colonel Mansheld, should
be put through, and prove failure, 1t
being only experimental, then Texas must
look to other points. Among these are
A-snsas Pass, Padre Island, aud last, but
not lessv, the mouth Of the BraZos.
As to the last mentioned, it will be re-
M mbered that the International and
Grea Northern Railroad Company, before
IIs Incorporation into the Gould system,
had serious intentions Of getting deep
wafer al the Brsz0s river bar, and deep
water there Sould give thirty feet by the
river to the old aud historic town OF COL
umbia. A. the instapce Of the COMPANY
surveys by government engineers were
made and are now on record,
While these surveys show that
9 deepening of the Brszos bar
would be, like the Galveston jetties,
rather experiments. than otherwise, II
msv be tbat the company, whose charter
was 1led few days ago, has solved the

Is Ehis Trne?


The GAZETTE wants to know "Ihy
cannot the austin people invite the Texss
veterans to be honored guests at the ded
icStiop Of the new cspltol?" Not so fast,
brother; the people Of Austin intend 90
ing Just the thing you propose. You are
late with your suggestion, as the drill
board had this matter under considera-
ton some time ago Austin Statesman.
And according to the NJ rshsl Messen-
ger, which would not misrepresent sny
people, the drill bosr1 after inviting the
veterans told them that Austin could not
undertake to entertain them. In other
words, this great open-handed conduct
of Austin was aoout as follows: "YOu
are welcome but you must bring enough
money 10 pay your way, YOUR hotel pills
and other expenses" It may occur to
the most thoughtless man that the coDdi-
tions of the invitation made it unneces-
sary. Every man in the world has the
same kind of an invitation from the drill
board.

MR.. MILLS is gallant msp; he has
been beloved of Texas; but If Mr.. Mills
persists in posing as the Demo cratic
party he will suffer in reputation and
popularity. THE GAZETTE was the FIRST
paper in Texas to advocate Mr.. Mills for
the Craftsmanship OF the ways and means
committee, and THE GAZETTE would re-
greet to become convinced that it was mis-
taken in the size of Mr.. Mills hat. Mr..
Mills, slacken your speed, or you may
fall into pit.

SUITS AGAINST ATTORNEY GEN
EPAT H0GH

bNhL 1IOUO.
Attorney General Hegg will socH have
his hands full Of business defending him
self sgsinst the cults being brought
against lin by the various insurance
companies that he denominsted "wild-
cat" and there is no doubt but what the
Attorney General is fully competent to
defend himself sll along the line. One of
these companies recently paid claim Of
$4,000 in the city Of Austin IN a remark
ably short space Of time after the proofs
were sent in and is parading the fact very
extensively. Was it not "Nc. Trigg"
that Dickens wrote about who mortgaged
his once furniture and fixtures to psy .
claim sgsinst his company? The
Triggs may not all be deSd-at
least Attorney General Hogg does
not seem to think SO. While the Austin
claim was promptly paid, and the benef-
Charles are to be congratulated, the rea-
son for such smIable haste is obvious.
There are other claims, IN Fort Worth
and elsewhere, that are not adjusted with
such CELEBRITY. Buildings burn down and
the erase grows over their ruins while ths
insured is waiting for his money. The
insurance companies are SO powerful
that they can insslently dictate their own
terms and take their own time about set
ting. If Attorney General Hogg can sue
coed in stirring them up, the rafting OF
the dry bones resulting will be music to
the ears of the people of Texas.

a Correction.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81, 1883.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Please allow me to correct an error
which has creps into the columns of THE
GAZETTE. Whilst it is true that I intro
duced bill to pension retired employees
it is equally true that did this by re-
quest, and so stated in presenting the
bill.
Moreover in debate publicly said on
the floor of the House that wss opposed
to the measure. When asked by the
author of the bill TO introduce it 1 told
him would oppose it, and it WAS gener-
ally known here that was upfriendlY to
the bill. W. 81. GRAIN.

FrankIin.s Grand. Niece,

The Rev. DIR. w. ii. Furness writes
thus to the Boston Christian Register:
"Years ago we had in our church
here n grand.niece of DIR. Franklin,
that native OF Boston of whom Phila.
delphin is very proud. Her character,

cal tree. attested her lineage. She

many Presbyterians and SO few Uni

the road that leadeth to destruction.
and many there be who 90 in thereat,'

told me that one OF her visitors had

economy that led her grand. uncle,
when he was n boy, to suggest to his
father saying grace over the pork
barrel. A few weeks before her death,
in going down stairs, she leaned so
heavily OIL the baluster that her arm
broke. The physician who set it said
that, at her great age, the bone would
not knit. Consequently she could not
knit, her chief employment, (she had
made an afghan l darenot say o: how

her chamber and faded away like q
