Those who imagined that tho Gulf
Colorado Santa Vo railroad would
bo content with tho teuitory It Is now
occupying that It shrank from bolder
and inorecompieheuslve policies now
seo how wide they were oil tho mark
The road was simply maturing its
plans garnering its resources and bid-
ing its time Congress is In session
and it will go befoie that body with a
bill that contemplates n grand forward
movement from Fort Wortli through
tho Indian Territory to connection
with the KrNco load which once at-
tained makes It absolutely indepen-
dent of the Gould system To tho
people of Texas this move is ono of
great inteicst and Importance At
present thoro aie three trunk lines
two standard and one narrowgauge
from Texas to St Louis mid tho gieat
West generally Hut tho two biunl
guugo routes aro controlled by tho
samo Influence A thlld and indepen-
dent broadgauge lino Is a neces-
sity and this will bo furnished by the
G C fc S V extension Senator
Coke It Is understood will introduce
the bill and It is to bo hoped that the
cHbrts of tho Texas delegation will en-
able It to command sulllcicnt lulluenco
to run the gauntlet in both houses
Tho road is only awaiting congres-
sional sanction When that is assured
forward will bo tho woid We all re-
member how rapidly the Santa lo
pushed Its construction in Texas Its
proposeil route runs through n country
perhaps as favorable all things consid-
ered for railroad building as that por-
tion of Texas It traverses If congress
can bo induced to take early ami fa-
vorable action upon its application
there Is no reason to doubt that It will
oll ect tho propoed connection by tho
Christinas of 1SSI To Fort worth tho
movenientls ono of great imiMirtuucc
and value but wo prefer to consider It
from a broader standpoint than a mere
local one It Is a step full of promise
for other cities and sections than Fort
Worth It Is gratifying to bellovo
that congress will not ba found un-

of the Venezuelan minister has de-

This government holds that until the

ject tho Venezuelan government must
continue to mako the payment provi-
ded for In tho convention of ISOO
Theio Is ground for believing that tho
dispute growing out of tho unpaid ob-
ligations due from Venezuela to France
will bo satisfactorily adjusted The
French cabinet lias proposed a basis of
settlement which meets iny approval
but us It Involves a relation of tho an-
nual quotas of the foreign debt It lias

Tho rovenuo ror thu llscal year
which will end June 30 18S5 will bo
estimated on tlio bnsisof existinglnvvs
Tlio secretary is or tlio opinion that
Tor that year the receipts will exceed
00000000 tlio ordinary expenditures
amount devoted to the sinking fund
hitherto The eurpluF as rapidly as it
has accumulated has been applied to
tho reduction of tho national debt
As n result tho only bonds now out-
standing which are redeemable nt tho
pleasure of the government tire tlio
threo per cents amounting to 305
581250 The four and onehalf per-
cents amounting to 230000000 and
the 730000000 of four per cents aro
not payable until 1601 and 1007 re-
spectively If tho surplus shall here-
after bo as lnrgo as the treasury esti-
mates now indicate the three percent
bonds may all bo redeemed at
lenst four years before any of
tho four anil onehalf per cents
can bu culled in The latter at the
same rate of accumulation or surplus
can bo pahl at maturity and tho
money requisite ror n redemption of
the four per cents will bo In tho treas-
ury many years beroro these obliga-
tions become payable Thero aro co-
gent reasons lioiyover why tho na-
tional indebtedness should not bo thus
rapidly extinguished chief among
them Is thu fact that only by excessive
taxation is such rapidity attainable
In n communication to the copgress
at Its last session I recommended that
all excise taxes bo abolished except
these relating to the distilled spirits
and that substantial reductions also
bo nuiilu iu tho revenues from
customs A stututu has been
since enacted bv which tho
auntial tax aim tarlfl receipts or tho
government have been cut down to
the extent of fifty or sixty millions of
dollars While I havu no doubt that
still further reductions may bo made
I do not advise the adoption at tliltf
session of any measures ror n large
dimuiiltion ol tho national revenues
Thu results of the legislation of the last
session of congress havo not ns yet In-
come sulllcicutly apparent to justify
