in commemoration of this victory
that a bronze statue of tbe horse be

Now Captain Eads is to be heard
at Washington concerning the ques
tion of the government endorsing
bonds to build the ship railway
across the isthmus. The Pacific
railway schemes ought to be a lesson
teaching that the government's name

the latter expects the former to pay
If the government's name be neces-
sary to carry on public worksitand
not companies should own them and
have the benefit of profits.
The victory of France over Tunis
is its first trial at arms since the re
verse at Gravellotte. It is true the
honor in overpowering the Tunisians
is but little but it revives the mili

do in equalizing the unequalized
condition of European nations Re
member that France is the only re
public excepting Switzerland in
Europe but that millions of Ger
mans and Russians and other peo
ple long for relief from imperial
government.
The census bureau is short of
funds. One reason ascribed is that
the amount of blank forms and ot
circulars and tabular statements
which it has been necessary to have
printed has been enormous. This
printing has been done by the gov-
ernment establishment which is as
extravagant and as corrupt a con
cern as ever existed in tbe .District
of Columbia. It is not at all sur
prising that Gen. Walker should es
timate that if he had had his print-
ing done under contract with pri
vate parties he could already have
saved at least $60000. Such is the
history of government printing
offices.

The New York Star says that Mr

WHAT XAH7WAY8 WILT. DO
TEXAS AM) MEXICO.
FOB
1 We were calling Texas the chess
board upon which railway kings are
moving at the head of forces.
Truly the history 'of railway buil-
ding has no parallel in any country
to. what is nowthe .order in Texas
Before the northers of the next sea-
son sweep across our limitless plains
the Texas' &' Pacific railway will
have made its junction . on the Rio
Grande with Huntington's South-
ern Pacific and ' the Interna-
tional' will have touched . Mexican
territory on the lower Rio Grande.
The grand ' consummation of pur-
poses on the part of these two or-
ganizations long deferred has been
the work. of. one ot the greatest
executive minds of the nineteenth
century. "While the people of other
states have reason to regard with
suspicion the course of corporations
Texas can but feel for the time at
least that Jay Gould's money is do-
ing a great deal more for Texas than
the state-imay possibly return in
years. It opens a vast field fer de
velopment where but a short time
ago the red man and the bison were
at home and it attracts a vast mov
ing population to settle within its
borders. "When Mr. Gould took
hold of the Texas & Pacific and
promised to build itat once specula
tive ears pricked themselves up and
the eyes of financiers turned towards
Texas. It was becoming the fashion
to follow Gould . in . everything
and as we have seen him extending
his investments in Texas so have wo
seen other capitalists follow him
and the harvest is a rich one for the
Lone Star State. To meet with en
mity at this day the Investment of
money in the development of Texas
would be suicidal. When this coun
try becomes older and more thickly
settled then unless wisdom directs
their act; we may as other comma
mties.haye reason to do oppose cor
porate power. With Tegulating stat-
utes."' Now is not the Beason
for' opposition ' and to encour
age .it at this time is to
give prominence to the demagogue
and the blackmailer. Texas needs
railways while in their wake will
follow .what it needs as well facto
nes and the development of its
mineral resources. According to in
dications within three vears there
must be ten thousand miles of rail-
way in the state and the system will
be represented by trans-continental
and international lines ' that must
give an undivided Texas within ten
years' more prominence than any
other i state in the 'Union. But
was not the purpose in this article
alone to ' refer to the conditions
being wrought out for Texas by
railway builders. Mexico occupies
quite as great a share of attention
from such quarters just now and
the development of the next two
years will revolutionize the political
and social condition of our neigh
bors across the Rio Grande. The
Republic of Mexico comprehends a
territorial area of 741800 square
miles greater than the combined
area of France Spain the entire Ger
man Empire Great Britain and Ire
land and great as is Texas in area.
it is in this respect two and a half
times its supe'rior.' In 1876 its popu
lation was 9600000 and it has eleven
cities ranging in population from
the size of the greatest city in Texas
to one of 300000 inhabitants. It
grows all the tropical fruits and pro
ducts! and it has mountains of in
valuable precious -metals. Its up
lands "produce corn wheat oats
and barley and its lowlands
are . tlie .natural home - of
the sugar cane. All the hilly
country south of 25 o mar be con
verted into vast coffee fields and
from 25 to the northward are some
of-the best grazing lands ot the
world. The physical formation of
the country a great plateau in the
center 6000 to 8000 feet above the
sea level with its peripery of low
lauds on either coast side givesit in
the same latitude temperate and trop
ical climates.where may be grown all
the fruits andagricultural products
of the North American conti
nent. It has forests of Dine as well
as j oak; it yields hides and wool.

came lb has j vast productive
power and as Texas ' de
velops and 'becomes great through
these grand instrumentalities now
operating it must be . decidedly to
its"hd vantage to have the Republic
advance in the same proportion. A
little stream bl water the JiioJSravo
is all that separates the two coun
tries and its banks are soon to be
united Dy inseverable links of
steel. The twfi countries must become
united in interests and what ad
vances Mexico must enrich Texas
Here we will get its products at
prices cheaper than they may be ob-
tained in the more distant states
and onr wheat and corn and in time
our '"manufactured' articles must
have j precedence over those of
all other countries.' . Exchanges will
be mutual and together Texas and
Mexico must soon attain 'a pros-
perity -not 'long ago dreamed ." of.
Sucb is the end to be attained by
the expenditures of Mr Gould and
others. Let us therefore be gener
ous until reason arises for us to be
otherwise.
Like almost "every new industry
the cultivation of the silk worm
needs encouragement to persuade
poor and timid people to undertake
it and to enable it to get a fair start.
A Philadelphia firm Messrs. Straw-

dollars in prizes to cultivators. The
manufacture of silk fabrics has be-
come a very important business in
this country and while it is arrow

TEXAS THURSDAY
THE ANTI-MONOPOLY MOVEMENT.
What is known as the anti-monopoly
movement recently inaugurated
in the state of New ' York is
destined at no distant day to play
very important part in the history
of this country; It has already-made
itself felt in connection with public
affairs at Albany where the protest
of the League against the election of
certain corporation candidates for
United' States Senators was read
before the legislature ; and although
the movement may now be consid
ered in its incipiency close observers
appear to 'coincide in the opinion
that it will be taken up all over the
country - and - especially in the
west. . In Texas - a compara
tively' new country and where
tne money or tue ricn cor-
porations in building railways and
developing the country is doing so
much for the state the necessity for
such a movement can not be seen
But not so in the older and weal
thier states. There the corporations
have attained such enormous power
that they are enabled to control all
legislation and influence ; to a great
extent every line of business. So
patent has this fact been made that
the people of the northern and eas
tern states have become alarmed
and this new movement is intended
as a remedy against the powerful
and growing evil ; and even now it
is conceded that the next elections
in those states aud probably iu some
of the western states will be fought
more upon the issue of monopoly

I he condition of Ireland is no

be in demand to hold the victims

held from time immemorial confis
cating the produce of their labor
and sentencing them to starvation

equivalent of eviction A man in
his position cannot be expected to
see things in the "dry light" which
floods the office of a London editor

when he finds his words of sympa
thy touch Irish society to the very

which shows that there is but one
mind among them on this snbject

to indict the whole nation; and

BREEDING COR TUB irEF
The brilliant feats of the two
Amcripan horses one iu England
the other in France both winning
the highest distinction attaching to
racing in each country leads every-
body just now to inquire more par
ticulary iuto the coudiiions that pro-
duce the best 'theronghbreds.' The
racing world IS becoming greater
with each succeeding year aud it
promises to become greater still.
Recent soles of thoroughbred colts
show higher figures than ever be-
fore aud the noble turf breeds are
being scattered throughout the civ-
ilized World. Kentucky has been
the home of the racer. Here all t he
kingly families from which have
sprung animals as noted as any
of. the crowned beads of Europe
have held' dominion in the
hearts of men. Not more . than
a generation . ago the . racing
studs of the country could be counted
on ones fingers. Now they extend
from Maine to Texas and from Flor-
ida to Oregon and as in the begin-
ning " imported English stock
was used to create them now the
eyes of all racemcn turn to' Ken-
tucky for "blood." The royal
lineage is a race necessity and in
the blue grass region below
tho Ohio river it . has . flourished
for generations in such perfection
that breeders guard it as zealously
as they would the most sacred rela-
tions of the family circle. Here the
most noted trains of racing blood
are represented by a numerous
progeny showing no taint and no
imperfection with a parentage run-
ning awav back to the noblest ani
mals tbat ever- trod the sands
Arabia. At the late annual sale of the
greatKentucky breeder Alexander
thirty-six untried yearlings being
disposed of alone upon their blood
brought the snug sum of $36265 or
au average of over $1000 to each
colt. One yearling colt brought
$5650 two others $3250 and $3050
respectively and another $2750 the
aggregate price of the four being
$14700.- At the Preakness sale
thirty-eight head were disposed of
for $25065 the leading prices being
$4100 $3400 and $5510. "Surejy th
breeding of racers must be profita
ble when yearling animals can be
sold at such figures and tbe readi
ness to pay such enormous prices
suggests that the racing world is ex
ceedmgly limited in its sources of
supply. But may it not begin to
occur at ibis day that these are .un
necessary prices to pay especially
for Kentucky colts since this
pure race blood has been dis
tributcd throughout the Union
and. that there is just as royal blood
elsewhere as In Kentucky. The blue
grass of Kentucky can make no
more muscular horses than the mes-
quitc grasses of these hills and val
leys about Austin. The fashion of
buying stock in Kentucky was
proper enough until blood became
disseminated throughout the coun
try. Now it is not correct at least
if the same blood may be produced
as woll developed in regions suited
to rearing the racer. Our undulating
country verging on the broken is
perfectly suited to the development
of the race horse and our climate
and water are all that he requires
wnue ins nourishment Is as
good here as anywhere. These
reflections should be considered
by those who invest in race stock
and they should also afford matter
for the consideration of our stock
men and agriculturists. It costs but
little more to rear i. fine horse than
a scrub and when it is seen that
fine animal sells for from fifty to five
hundred times as much as a scrub
the folly of theso .men who taise
horses worth but little more than
their hides and tallow will bring is
apparent Those who think that
Kentucky is alone the home of the
race horse should look into the bril
liant record of Texans on the turf
and they should especially visit
Austin next October.- during the
state fair and examine the stables
that will assemble here on that -oc
casion. 1 '
' A Washington correspondent in
noticing developments in the star
routes investigation tells that on
one route tne pay was raised from
$680 to $32640 and on another from
$2550 to $103000. He then devotes
himself to an exposition of tho Texas
temporary service a newly discov
ered ramification of the frauds. The
favorites who hold "temporary ser
vice'' in Texas are General Frank C
Armstrong of Texas and .. Major
John D.. Adams of Little Rock
Arkansas (who in this matter are
practically one and the same person)

An historical tree has lately
been destroyed in Greece a cypress
described by Pausinias 400 "ii. C
and one of the two largest in the
Peloponnesus. Some one hundred
and sixty feet high the tree had a
diameter at the base of ten feet and
a eirenmference of twenty-five feet
at man's height and of two hundred
and forty feet where the branches
were most developed. Some care-
less gypsies camping in its shade set
fire to the tree not a vestige surviv-
ing. Now the only giant tree left in
the province is a huge plantain near
Naugactus on the Gulf of Lepanto
which is equally as large but some
six centuries younger.
The largest body of people in
this ' country keeping themselves
separate from the rest of the popula-
tion are the Mennonites in Kansas.
They are German in language and
customs though they came from
southern Russia. They undertook to
establish village life in Kansas simi-
lar to that which they had left in
Europe the farms running off from
the village in long narrow strips ;
but this plan was not found practi-
cable and the farming is now done
in the ordinary American manner
Where the land is owned in quarter
sections however four houses are
built in adjacent corners enablin
the inhabitants to become near
neighbors. As a rule the Menno
mtes are richer than the average
Western farmers. They are not
communistic as has been said
though clannish and opposed
mixing socially or in busiuess with
the people around them.
A farmer in Indiana gives the
following result of an experiment
with bone-dust and wood ashes. 11
says: "1 applied 600 pounds of drv
uuleached ashes to the acre aud
solved wheat en that and the result
wa only six bushels to the acre
Adjoining this tract I drilled in 200
pounds ot bone-dust and tho three
acres produced twentv bushels
the acre being arPincreased yield of
fourteen bushels over the tract sown
with' wood' ashes. The following
year I used 500 pounds of bone-dust
on that plat where 1 had previously
sown 600 pounds of ashes and the
result was forty bushels of wheat to
the acre being'donble what the bone
produced alone. This experiment
satisfied me that ashes alone or
bone-dust alone would not give mc
a yield trial paid to my satisfaction
ihis acre with ashes yielded six
bushels but when the two were com
bined ' I harvested forty bushels

planted in cotton to be less than 1
per cent more than last year. Re-
ports aro received as follows :
Forty-one counties in North Caro-'
Una report an average increase of 4
per cent.; 16 counties in South Caro-
lina report acrcago same as last
year; 70 counties in Georgia give au
mcrease of 2 per cent; 6 counties in
Florida give a decrcaso of 3 per
cent; 14 counties in Alabama give a
decrease of 2 per cent.; 41 oouutles
in Mississippi give the same acreage;
41 counties in Louisiana give an in-
crease of 3 per cent ; 69 counties in
Texas give an increase of 2 per.
cent; 82 counties in Arkansas give
an increase of 1 per cent.; 17 coun-
ties in Tennessee report an average
of 3 per cent increase. The condi-
tion is much lower being 93 this
year against 99 last year at this

notified the Mexican federal troops
of which latter there are four hun-

San Francisco June 16. Tbe
following particulars of th? wreck -of
the steamer Taranaare were given
in the Oakland Jeraldot May 24th :
The Taranaare belonged to the
Union company of New Zealand
and was employed on the coast of
New Zealand and running to Mel-
bourne and Sidney on which voy-
age she was wrecked. She had
passed down the east coast of New
Zealand calling at different places.
She was between port Chalmer the
port ol Dumedia and Bluff the last
Clace of call before going to Mel-
ourne. When the vessel was first
struck it was comparatively calm
and it wai thought no lives would
bo. lost but heavy surf breaks
on that part of tha coast.
There are no life-boats or life-saving
apparatus there. One small boat
whicb started tor the steamer was
driven up en the beach and another
could reuder no assistance and was
subsequently picked up at sea. Later
a heavy swell set In and she settled
down on the rocks and was washed
over by the waves. Tho crew and
passengers huddled together in the
lorccastle and in the rigiring and.
as they gradually became exhausted
were washed ou into the sea. 1 be
vessel struck at 6 o'clock on Friday
morning and by 6 o'clock iu' the Af

had been washed oil the forecastle
A few of the strongest of the men
