just resigned from the ministry, has fig
ured brilliantly at home and abroad in
diplomatic relations. He is a man Of
singularly acute and alert mental pow

respect than like . Spaniard.
As minister of foreign affairs he has
borne weighty responsibilities in the
Nicaragua canal difficulty during the
past six months and borne them ably.
Being a member Of Acting President
Esquivers cabinet. when the latter de-
cided from motives Of delicacv. having
been nominated as tho Liberal partys
candidate, to give back the presidency
to Gen. Soto last week, Senor Viquez at

KANTANKERoUs Kansas and abom-
niable Alabama have both shown the
cowardly trail OF the white cap gang.
There is not white cap on top Of sod,
by the mercy of the devil still unhung,
who wouldn't burn an old woman for a
witch, forbid man to kiss his wife on
Sunday, prescribe free thought in all
its forms and restore the days of racks,
thumbscrews and inquisitions were 1t
in his power. Such man is Stunned
of his fellows, abhorred of God and
barely tolerated by the devil. He is
the apotheosis of meanness and cant,
born in bigotry, baptized in ,bru-
tally, confirmed in cussedness, mar
ried to mendacity, he only serves as
living milestone along the highway of
humanity. That he is suffered to
live is the unread riddle of civiliza-
ton.

GALVESTON finds herself minus the
fifteen thousand cold cash to secure
that cold storage bonanza, and when
the beef men came per agreement to
close contract Oh yesterday it was dis
covered that Galveston was minus the
wherewIthal. She was granted ten
days grace to make good her promise.
If Galveston does not come to taw the
beef men will arrange with New
Orleans, which is ready to make all
the needed concessions. The contract
is already made with the English
dealers for the delivery of 5000 car
casses a month and the preparation
for shipment can not be delayed. If
not Galveston it is somewhere else.
AS that United States engineering
commission, to locate deep water
harbor for the gulf coast
of Texas, meets at Galveston on
the 10th instant and at Arkansas Pass
three days later, perhaps the Island
city IS waiting to see what her
chances are for deep water under the
commissioners report before raising
the bonus required. Discretion in
money matters as well as i'm military
is sometimes the better part of valor.
New Orleans is not quite as convent
ent to the cattle ranges of west Texas
as is Galveston, but it is much nearer
than Chicago or New York, and the
opening Of a good market there for
5000 carcases a month will be a good
thing for the cattlemen of this state.
The Island city Will hardly let this
opportunity for charging her com
merce and adding thousands of dol
lars every month to her receipts pass
by unImprOved.
