THE DAILY STAND ADD.
DRURY LACY, Editor.
FORT WORTH. TEXAS. MAR. 6. 1878.
It is stated that a contract will be
signed in a few days for 200 miles of
the Northern Pacific railroad, which
funs through Dakota Territory, con-
necting Lake Superior with Pugets
Sound in Oregon on the Pacific
Ocean.
A PffiE broke out at Rockdale in
the residence of John N. Giles on
last Friday night, from the explo-
sion of a lamp, consuming his resi-
dence, and also the residence of
Mr. Solon Jaynes, fhe buildings
were partially insured.
The receipts of Oottoii at New
Orleans front September 1 1877, to'
March 1 1878, show a net gain on
last years receipts of 181,767 bales.
This increase of receipts has been
due to the early rise in the’ tribu-
taries of the Mississippi. The in-
crease in Red river alone has
amounted to 53,306 bales.
The failure in the Stephens bill to
indicate an eastern terminffs has de-
veloped a great deal of opposition
among its former friends, who ad-
vocate the claims of Memphis. The
legislature of Tennessee has in-
structed the representatives from
that state to make' it a condition
precedent to voting for the bill, that
Memphis be named as a terminus.
Unless the conflicting interests of
railroad corporations and the jeal-
ousies of localities can be recon-
ciled, no bill asking for government
aid can' pass this session.
A bill is before the legislature of
Louisiana to’ introduce the Moffet
bell punch in' that State. The sa-
loon keepers propose to raise $20,-
000 to defeat the bill. If it is possi-
ble to thwart the will of the legis-
lature with money, it will be a se-
vere rebuke to the mombors. We
seriously question the propriety or
the justice of imposing upon any
class of the community oppressive
burdens. Already the whisky tax
and the tobacco tax raise a very
large revenue to' the genei*al gov-
ernment, from the poorest and most
unfortunate classes. We are not
aware that any reform has been
effected by this system. The bell
punch would carry the practice of
discrimination in collecting reven-
ues one step farther. Good reas-
ons can be given for or against any
proposition.
TRAMPS.
Massachusetts has gone to work
in a very practical way to solve the
question of the tramp nuisance.
Two experts were employed to
study the habits and customs of that
class, and the result of their investi-
gations, when summed up, amount
to this, tha’t they are organized
bands of theives, who have their
signals and make a living by every
form of peculation and imposition.
Acting upon the information ob-
tained, several bills have been in-
troduced of the most stringent char-
acter, intended to break up these
bands of roving vagrants. All the
sentiment which has invested these
peripatetic visitors of quiet homes,
has been destroyed, and they will be
dealt with in the most summary
maiinef. We will look forward with
touch interest to the result of this
practical legislation.-
TAe trial of Henry Hodges and
Milton Parker, charged with the
murder of Rush Randle, is progress-
ing at Bryan, and is attracting a
great deal of attention,- the court
house is crowded with ladies and-
gentlemen. It was a street fight in
which the two Randle brothers
fofight Hodges and Parker, ex-
changing about fifteen shots:
The dying declarations of Rush
Randle are in substance as follows:
“I am conscious that death' is ap-
proaching. We were at Clark’s
Corner, and were' going over to the
court house. Irving Randle said,
‘Look out; they are getting their
guns.’ They fired on us, and we
returned their fire; that is, I did. I
do not know which fired first,
Hodges or Parker. I saw Parker
fire. I never threatened to kill
Cither of them. I saw Hodges fire,
too. I do not know which one
shot me. Hodges shot with-a shot-
gun. Parker shot with a pistol; I
do not'know what kind.”
The state’is represented by the
county attorney, John N. Hender-
son, and Messrs. Bassett and Shep-
herd, of Brenhatti, and the defend-
ants by Messrs. Davis, Beall and
Taliaferro, and Judge Broadus.
THE DIRECTION OF TRADE.
A correspondent of the Galves-
ton News says “that all the main
lines Of railroads in Texas (with the
exception of the San Antonio road
arid the western branch of the
Texas Central,) are so laid with
reference to each other, and their
connections, as to draw thp com-
merce of the state to northern mar-
kets, the effects of which are being
felt more and more this season, es-
pecially in Galveston.” There are
nine railroad lines centering oh
Houston, and connection both by
rail and water between Hous-
ton. and Galveston. There are
but two outlets east, the
M., K. & T. and the Iron Moun-
tain, and but one to New Orleans,
via the Texas and Pacific and Red
river. Let the commercial interests
of each city take care of itself, and
let the laws of commerce work out
their own results. The great state
of Texas should have an outlet by
rail; direct to Vicksburg, and a con-
nection with New Orleans by
Orange from Houston; also, rail
communication from Marshall and
Shreveport; direct to New Orleans.
We have a magnificent agricultural
region to develop, and require all
these outlets east, and also an ex-
tension of the Texas and Pacific
from Fort Worth to San Diego. We
have no objection to local roads
built in the interest of any of the
cities of Texas.
PEACE SIGNED.
Dispatches of the 4th inst., in our
issue of yesterday, contained several
reports of the conditions upon which
peace was made between Russia and
Turkey. The demand for forty mil-
lions of pounds was changed to
twelve millions. The Turkish fleet
was not surrendered, and the only
acquisition of territory on the part
of Russia was in Armenia, in Asia,
including the stronghold of Kars
and the important fortress and sea-
port, Batoum, on the Black sea.
The Egyptian tribute to Turkey, or
any other portion of the revenues;
hypothecated to foreign creditors,
have not been interfered with. The
European provinces which will
be dismembered from Turkey
will be required to assume a
portion of the debt of the empire.
These Christian provinces, have been
elements of weakness rather than of
strength to the Porte, and it is as-
serted by a correspondent of the
London Times that the concentra-
tion of the Musselmen in the terri-
tory ai'ound Constantinople, will
make the new Ottoman empire
much stronger than it was when
spread over a hostile' territory.
The conference of the European
powers will take all these questions
under consideration, and a final and
permanent adjustment, looking to a
permanent peace, may be perfected.
CUBA.
The revolution which has been
going on in Cuba for che last ten
years, has at length been crushed.
The negroes of the insurgents will
be set free, and those who belonged
to loyal men, provided they took uj^
arms for Spain, will also be declared
free, their former masters being
compensated.
Thus has enxied a struggle for in-
dependence-, in which there has been
great loss of life, and an incalculable
amount of property destroyed. The
patriots have at last succumbed to
despotic power. Cuba, “ the ever
faithful isle,” “the brightest diadem
in the crown of Spain,” “ the gem of
the Antilles,” is still under the rule
of the mother country.
The war has been waged with
great cruelty on both sides, and
now that the insurgents have laid
down their arms, we are pleased to
see a more humane spirit shown
by the conquerors and wholesome
reforms promised. Slavery has re-
ceived its death blow and will even-
tual^ pass away. If any experi-
enced officers are required to organ-
ize freedman’s bureaus and freed-
man’s banks, let the Cuban authori-
ties make application to republican
headquarters at Washington City.
At the shooting match for $200
a side between A. H. Leander and
Robt. P. Marshall, at Racine "Wis-
consin, on the' 2d inst.,- Marshall
won the match by four birds, pig-
eons.- Marshall killed twenty-seven
and Leander twenty three.- Nearly
“every pop a pigeon;” the condi-
tions being to shoot at thirty single
birds, twenty-0116 yards rise, eighty
bouhdary.
