TEXAS COAST CAhAL
COMPANY.

Among recent enterprises
of Importance to this region,
none is of greater interest that
the Texas Coast canal compa-
ny, which has recently filed a
charter at Austin. The incor
porators are John B. Armstrong
of this county, A. Boschke of
San Antonio, and G. II. De
Ryee of Corpus Christi. The
capital stock of the company
is $500, 900, and the object of
the association is to improve
the Laguna Madre and its
tributaries, in order to render
it navigable by steam vessels
and other craft.
THE HERALD is informed by
Capt. jeff Kennedy, who is pro
badly as well posted on the
subject as any other person on
this coast, that the plan OF
dredging the Laguna Madre is
a most feasible one, and that
when once the shallow places
are dredged out, there will be
no difficulty whatever in main
tanning a depth of water suffi-
cient to float good sized ships
throughout the entiNe length Of
the lagoon.
The success of this enterprise
means much to Brownsville
and would be almost, if not
quite, as great an advantage as
a railroad. Success to the Tex
as Coast canal company!

POSTAL REFORMS DE.
HANDED.

At the recent meeting of the
National Board of Trade reso-
buttons were adopted favorfng
reduced postal rarps and urging
that a postal bill embodying
the reforms suggested by the
board be passed by congress.
1t is set forth by these reso-
lutions that although the esti-
mated average cost of handling
mail matter is but s cents per
pound, under the present law
Is cents per pound, or a profit
of 100 per cent, is charged on
fourth class matter, and 80
cents per pound, or an appar
ent profit of 800 per cent, is
charged for first class matter.
These apparently excessive
charges, it is claimed, are rem
dered necessary by two condi-
tons, one being an estimated
loss to the postal department
of nearly II million dollars an
nually, resulting from handling
second class matter at the rate
of one cent per pound, or
S71 per cent less than actual
cost; the other cause is the ad-
ditionaI annual loss TO the de-
partment on account Of the
ranking privileges, allowed to
all departments of the govern
ment, amounting to over u
millions. The reforms asked
for include a reduction of let
ter postage to 1 cent per ounce,
or is cents per pound, and a
merging Of the present second,
third and fourth. class matter
into one class, alta uniform rate
OF one cent. for two ounces, or
8 cents per pound, while every
department Of the government
or anyone entitled to the frank
ing privilege shall be charged
with the cost of said service.
There is much to commend the
adoption of the proposed re-
form, and it is to be hoped that
Postmaster General Wilson
may find it practicable to make
suggestions for the improve
n1eft of the service along sim
liar lines.

AUSTIN BUDGET.
aesuisr Correspondence of TEE HERALD.

Austin, Texas, April 8, 1895.
1t was thought last week that
the Legislature would wind up
and adjourn, at least by the
10Th. Imbuked with this idea
you'll remember the senate by
a good majority passed a con-
current resolution to adjourn
sine lie on the 10th Of this
month. Since then, however,
things have changed and it
really looks now as if the aug
ust body will be here to cele-
brate May day. Some folks,
wicked ones, perhaps, who
have no respect for the dignity
of the law makers, assert that
the majority of them are max
ing more money at $500 day
than they can possibly make
at home, and hence they are in
no hurry to throw down the
pleasing job Of making laws.
One of these very wicked ones
has gone so far as to wager
that large majority of the
demoerts in the house, who are
voting with the populist on al
most every measure that comes
up, can pull their shirts off
over their heads without IN
buttoning the collar.

There are many other amend
ments, one of them making it q

The District Court,

1t does not seem to US a question as to
what should be, but what is actually be-
fore US. The fact is that all the judges in
New Mexico have more work than they
ought to be required to perform. At the
last session of the supreme court there
were about fifty cases to be heard and
disposed of, and it was not possible for
that court to get all this off its hands be-
fore the terms of the several district
courts began and special term later on
was necessary. This could be held with
less interference with district courts at
the time set than at any other, and will be
extended beyond the time for the begin
ming of the regular term at Lincoln, and
leave US but one week before the begin
ming of the regular term at Roswell. 1t
would be a useless expense to summon
jurors, witnesses and litigants for only
one week, because proceedings would
hardly begin till adjournment would
come and most of the cases 90 over to
the spring term.
II is true that hardship is worked by
the system prevailing here, but it is not
the fault of the judges or the courts, but
of the peculiar system itself. There
ought to be a supreme court independent
of the district courts, and thus relieve
the latter from such interferences as are
now justly complained of.-White Oaks
