BLACK Jack Grove.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
BLACK JACK GROVE, TEX, Aug. 15.-
Our section was visited with another
heavy rain last night. 1t is believed
this will cause the cotton worms to ap-
pear again. The very hot and dry
weather for the last ten days had almost
drove them out, and farmers were very
much buoyed up over the prospect of
making an immense crop.
A large number of our people are at
tending the reunion at Sulphur Springs.
Those who returned last night report
large gathering, and two men and
horse being killed there yesterday by
Texas and st. Louis train. No particu-
lars of the killing could be aseertained.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas has
changed its time card, which makes the
west-bound passenger train due here at
I:40 p. M; east-bound, 10:40 a. m;
and all passengers for Dallas or Fort
Worth will have to stay over night in
Greenville. This causes much dissatis-
faction and delay to all East Line pas
sengers.

When he has finished his art studies at
Paris, Prince Eugene of Sweden is going
back to Stockholm to spend his life i'll a

Wilkie Collins, the novelist, is still in
a very feeble condition, and the doctors
give no hope of his getting better. He is
able to sit up in bed, however, a little
each day.
Blondin has accepted a wager of
$40 600 to walk on G cable from the top
of Eiffel tower to the summit of the
central dome of the main building of the

utes.
Mrs. Langtry has arrived in Paris
from London and is in the dressmaker s
hands. She is going to AK for cure
for the govt, and will begin her tour of
the English provinces in September, and
open in London IN December.
Lord Tennyson IS eightietk birthday has
been celebrated by the English press
with q characteristic grunble because the
poet still draws his pension of thousand
dollars which was awarded to him forty
years ago, His books sell by hundreds of
thousands, and he is n rich man.
Wilhelm, the violinist, is an accom-
plished whistler No professional whis-

tone that ne can. 1t is like the notes Of
his violin. Only on rare occasions does
Wilhelmj treat his friends to a whistling
performance, and those who have heard
him may consider themselves fortunate.
The new minister of finance in Russia,

serted after squandering her fortune.
He speaks English, French, German,
Italian and Russian. He was born at

Vienna and other cities makes a most
remarkable tale of crime.

conservative recommendation and this
paper renews its motion for the appoint
ment by the legislature of committee to
investigate the subject and report to the
succeeding general assembly. In re-
spouse to a demand for a general
reduction of freight rates in Texas, rep
resentatives of the roads have made
statements which challenge the patriotic
consideration of every citizen, and,
while stating the inability OF the roads
to make general reduction, y have
suggested specific reductions which con-
firm THE GAZETTE IS confidence in the
wisdom of its motion for a committee
of investigation appointed by the state
and acting for ali the people of the state.
1t must be taken for granted that a
very large majority of the people of
Texas fully appreciate the fact that roads
and people have a common interest in
the development and prosperity of the
state, despite the agitation of dema-
gogues or the arbitrary courses of
with them. The action of the
state with reference to the rail-
roads should be in recognition of this
identity of interests, and there could be
no more propitious season for efforts to
draw people and roads into sympathetic
unity than now, when railroad represen-
tatives publicly avow their desire to be
brought into closer communication with
the people. The roads stand pledged to
this desire, and the people should meet
them half way.
When THE GAZETTE made its sug-
gestion for committee of investi-
cation, it was urged that the
roads would not facilitate the in
quiries of the committee, and yet here
investigation as THE GAZETTE suggested.
Such a committee would have all the
power of the state of Texas behind it, as
much so as any railroad commission
could have; and such a committee, ap-
pointed in recognition of the COM
mon interest between the roads
and people, could collate and pre-
sent to the public under the great seal of
the state every fact and circumstance
bearing upon the question at issue, and
thus make known to the people what was
fairness to the roads, and thus what was
best for themselves.
Such a committee, composed of repre-
sentatives of the agricultural, mercan-
tile, manufacturing, lumber, legal
and live stock interests of Texas
would save to the state much
unhealthy agitation and do more
to settle vexed question to the benefit
Of Texas than all the freight rate COM
mittees that could be appointed here and
there over the state.
The people of Texas do not wish to OPP
press the roads, nor do they wish to be
oppressed by the roads, and the facts
and figures recently given out by the
railroad men at Dallas constitute CO.
gent argument in favor of a committee
of investigation appointed by the state to
inquire into all the facts and figures as a
basis for such regulation of the roads as
will be just to them and thus beneficial
to all the people.

THE Dallas freight committee, the
champion of the people, and the Dallas
News, the champion of the railroads,
unite in opposition to the Interstate
commission. How strange would appear
this union of opposing forces, were it not
now apparent that the Dallas freight con-
vention was a purely Dallas scheme to
use the people as a weapon with which to
coerce the roads into special favors to

an unworthy recourse for settling diff
culties at this day. When Calhoun and
Williamson stood fronting each other a
few days ago with smoking pistols, one
empty and the other four chambers
loaded, it is not hard to see that an ad-

in what way honor was indicated or the

plain.
