the Eads bill was received in Gal-
veston with much satisfaction by
the business men, and it is regard-
ed as a signal victory in favor of
the scheme. The shallow water
Availability and not expedien- men alt kept in the shade and not
cy should be-the rule governing
Democratic conventions.
Tib Temple Times got out a
very neat anniversary edition de-
voted to an account of the anniver-
sary celebration and a description
of Temple.

The people of the state generally
will be glad to know that at last
there is a prospect of having deep
water at Galveston. Deep water
means a very material reduction in
freights, both on incoming and
outgoing articles, and reduced
freights means cheaper goods and
tur Tribune, is out as a candidate J higher prices tor cotton. To il-
lor the legislature from Wisccoun- J lustrate: Middling cotton is quoted
ty. He is an able man and would
make a splendid representative.
Dallas Herald: It is now al-
most an assured fact that the Re-
publican clarion will be sounded
all over this state this fall, and the
refrain will be,''VFash Jones and
free grass."
A new bell was lately added to
the market house at Matamoros,
Mexico. It was consecrated by
the priest and afterward a grand
ball was given in which 1500 per-
sons participated.
Thb Galveston News thinks that
Cleveland and McDonald would
make a winning combination as
well as a most respectablo ticket,
but that McDonald at the head
would never do.
Bbr Butler is not losing any
time in running as the greenback
candidate for president. Ho knows
as well as any one in the world
that he can't be elected, but he has
some object in view, which in due
time will be made public.
At this time the Chaso Trading
Company of Fort Worth does more
local advertising than any other
one house in the State, and we
venture the assertion that the
company is reaping its reward in
the way of a largo business.
According to the Fort Worth
Gasette thirty-four States have
abolished the two-thirds rule, and
when Texas does so another will
be added to the list. Tho Nation-
al convention will as a matter of
course adopt the mojonty rule.
at 10 cents in New York. If the
cotton planter could deliver his
cotton m New York without ex-
pense he would realise 10 cents a
pound for it, but as this can not be
done the cost of transportation
must be deducted from the price,
and figure as you may, the pro.
ducer is the man who has to bear
the cost of transportation. This
applies not only to cotton but to
every article raised on the farm or
pasture. It may be that corn is
worth fifty cents a bnshel in Gal-
veston, but the farmer residing at
a distant point on the line of a rail
way can only get twenty cents for
his corn, because it takes |bout
thirty cents to move it to market,
and right here is a good place to
say that good wagon roads to ship-
ping points would be big money in
the hands ot farmers. If a wagon
can make two trips to market and
carry large loads, it is a decided
saving over making one trip with a
small load in the same time which
ii takes to make the two trips. The
saving is in time, wear and tear of
wagon and team and hire of driver,
also feed. With good wagon roads,
reasonable railway freights, deep
water in Galveston and chcap
freights to the cotton markets, the
farmers of Texas would find that
they get a good deal more money
for their produce and thoy would
be in a much better way to make
money,
Dallas Herald: There is a law
in Texas against any one not an
officer carrying a pistol, but it is
not enforced, and the consequence
is tho death of many citizens at
the hands of roughs and dopcra-
does. Tho killing of Dr. Barra-
dall, in Fort Worth, is an instance.
He was a peaceable, good citizen,
Superintendent Baker has re-
ceived the sum of $500 from the

Galveston, July 1.—Col. Elliott,
Texas commissioner to the World's
fair at New Orleans, addressed the
members of the Cotton Excbani^
this evening on the subjcct of the
Texas exhibition.

Paris, July 1.—There was three
deaths from cholera at Marseilles
last night and four at Toulon.
Railway stations near both cities
are crowded with refugees.
Cuba.
Madrid, July 1.—Minister Fos-
ter and prime minister Castillo
had an interview yesterday in re-
gard to Cuba. Tho latter declared
that Cuba was not for sale. Min-
ister Foster asserted that the
United States did not want to pur-
chase but desired closer relations
with Cuba on account of being
headed off by Mexico in the sugar
trade.
(joint; to Chicago.
Washington, July 1.—About fif-
teen or twenty Democratic sena-
tors propose leaving for Chicago
on Saturday. If congress does not
adjourn by Friday they,will be
paired with Republican senators.
This will break the quorum and
only unobjected business can be
transacted.
The ex-Codfederate reunion at
Dallas on the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th
of August next promises to be the
grandest affair of the kind that has
ever taken place in the state. The
committee of invitation is compos
od of about seventy prominent gen-
tlemen, and the citizens of' Dallas
will spare neither pains or money
to make tho rcuftion pleasant and
enjoyable. Tho encampment will
be held at Long's lake just north
of the city limits, on the Missouri
Pacific railway. The meeting i
only a social one; a gathering of
comrades to renew past acquain
tances.
Waco seems to be a hard town
on newspapers. The Examiner
has had more ups and downs than
any newspaper of its age in the
state. It still lives and now comes
out as a six-column folio; it has
plenty of room to grow.

Thb Richmond, Va., Dispatch
tells a story about a hoop Bnake
chasing a small girl for a mile
when she dodged behind an ap

drove its horn spike two inchos
into the wood. The Dispatch is a
reputable newspaper.

The tide has turned and is now
setting this way. On the 28th ult.,
♦750,000 in American gold was
shipped from England to tho Bank
of Montreal in New York city, for
investment in this country.
Thb Herald and the Gazette, the
leading papers of North Texas are
still hammering away at each oth-
er on the free-grass problem. The
Gasette is getting to be a trifle
more reasonable, but jt has a con-
siderable distance to go yet before
it gets in line with what it is pleas-
ed to call the "organs."
A circular issued by Mr. Blaine
in 1875 has been brouirht to light
and will be used against him. Men
in public life or those who contem-
plate going into public life should
be very careful about what they
write or print. There is no tell-
ing when documents will be pro-
duced and used against a candidate
for official position.
Thb bill granting the Gulf, Col-
orado and Santa Fe railway right
of way throngh the Indian Terri-
tory is now a law, and the pre-
sumption is that tho main line will
be extended in the not very far
distant future. The bill requires
that the company build at least
100 miles of road within three
years from the passage of the
bilC
who shot him to death, had been
flourishing his pistol for a day or
two before committing tho deed,
and yet not an officer of that city
arrested him. Now, who is to bo
censured in this case? It is time
to erase all such laws from the
statutes if they cannot be enforced.
Gambling can be eradicated, as is
evidenced in this city, and why
should it be carried on openly in
Fort Worth? it does seem that
the laws are very laxly adminis
tcred in some localities.
Dallas Herald: Erom conver
sation with tho delegates at Fort
Worth, one thing was very evident:
that Gibbs will be nominated by
acclamation. We don't believe
there wcro ten delegates in the
convention who would not hav<
voted for him. They were unani
mously in the statement that ho
had made a good reeord and de-
served promotion. He has no for
midable opponent and it would bo
a very difficult matter to find a
man who would run against him
with such a strong, popular senti-
ment in his favor. He has the
confidence of the people, and it is
this that counts. The Fort Worth
Gazette has not been able as yet
to find a man who is willing to
sacrifice himself in such a fight. .
When the National convention
meets in Chicago it should do one
of two things—either oppoint John
Kelly director general of tho Dem-
ocratic party of the United States,
or sit down upon him in a body
and flatten him out so thin that ho
will never again be heard of He
should be killed as dead as Fraud-
ulency Hayes.
