Dallas Herald: .Aloading east
ern republican exchange says
"the democrats of the south carry
the brains of tho party." This is
a handsome tribute for a source
whose theme for tho past quarter
ot a centnrp has been the "ignor-
ance" and '"barbarity" of this sec
tion. Wo can bo as civil as the
Gazette however and say; with
truth that we believe the republi-
cans of the north carry the brains
of that party. Guiteau's cerebul-
lum was said to have an avoirdu-
pois not even second to ithat of
Webster.
We learn from a News' special
that'the State Land Board held a
meeting at Austin on the 2nd inst.
which was attended by a large
number of land buyers and land
agents from all portion ofs the
State. Applications for the pur-
chase of some 300000 acres 'were
considered and sales made of Borne
272000 acres at an average price of
about 32 10. There were also 86-
000 acres leased at 4 cents an acre
per annum. The leases were for
from five to ten years mainly the
latter time. The board will bo in
session to-morrow having still a
large number of applications to dis-
pose of. One party; representing
applications for th lease of about
3000000 acres asked for a post-
ponement of his bids until next'
week which was granted. '

The Dallas Herald truthfully re
marks that the process of cattlo
growing in Texas is undergoing a
quiet transformation. It is bo-
coming the custom of cattle rais-
ers to purchase their ranges and
inclose them in barbed wire fences.
These ranges consist of from 10-
000 to 100000 acres and the ser-
vice of the famous cowboy and the
annual "roundup" of stock are
dispensed with. The stock is be-
ing constantly improved by tho
introduction of blooded animals.
The proprietors of tho ranges find
it to their interest to produce hot
ter cattle than the wild Texas -or
Spanish steer. Tho beef is hotter
and it commands a higher price.
Attherate thoprocess of improv
ing stock is going on the original
Texas steer will in a "few years be
as raro as the buffalo.
A special from Austin to the

COUNTY TEXAS
A dispatch from Gonzales under
dato of January 3 to the Galveston
News shows a very bad stato of
affairs in Gonzales. It appears
that on the evening of tho 2d a
party of carousers completely took
tho town and tho sheriff of the
county shooting pistols and hold
ing high carnival generally and
as a good joko the nows of this
very unbecoming freak of lawless.
ncss is telegraphed all over tho
stato. Had the officors been reso
lute and dono their duty as they
should have every ono of tho law
breakers would havo been arrested
and fined to tho fullest oxtent of
the law.
GalvesIon News: Tho governor
said in his recent speech on the
fence-cutting question that ho has
not tho monoy to pay an army in
tho field an hour. This pica
Would be tho same if there wero a
thousand times as much violence
If it is a valid plea it goes to show
that tho governor could not em
ploy a military force in any event
until aftor an appropriation was
mado to meet its expenses. But
ho did not "wait for an appropria
tion when ho telegraphed to a
numher of towns in Texas for mil-
itary to suppress an imaginary ne
gro insurrection in .Milam county.
Is such a signal exocutivo precc.
dent worth nothing.
There is more food forreflcction
in the following paragraph from
the7 Galveston News than there
would seem from a casual reading:
IThe vagrant owners of vagrant
cattlo coveting their neighbors's
pastures to-day may envy their
neighbors' sheds and stables 'next.
Why should ono man's cattle shiv
er in the wind while another's
cows aro sheltered and can go up
toJa'Tjck of straw or hay ? This is
only another phase oi the question
why one person should sit down to
a good dinnor while another has to
satisfy his hunger with a chunk of
corn bread and a slice of bacon or
what he can get. And it takes
money to build dwell-houses and
buy stoves and coal or wagons and
teams to haul wood and money o
buy the wood. Jn short earth is
not heaven."
G. H.. Butler the brilliant but
exceedingly dissipated nephew of
tho governor of Massachusetts
writes to "the New York Sun to
correct a report which was started
in Washington charging that he
was in the workhouse. He says:
"Sinco Ireturned from Montana
whero the climato didn't agree
with 'mo and-'I'-didn't agree-"with

The republicans aro getting
their presidential politics unintel
ligibly mixed up. 'Xhey tell us

Senator Tlatt.otJNew York latoly
a warm friend of tho president's
is the authority for this surprising
statement; As Mr. Arthur only
three months' ago- was regarded
as the inevitable nominee of his
party; this disastrous decline in
his prospects may bo taken as an
illustration of tho precarious na
ture of political reputations in the
republican camp. Then wo hear
of thoGrant-Blaine-Logan combina
tion against the administration. A
partnership between thoso tbreo
gentlemen has.a curious look whon

The Mexican Financier gives
an account of a new fuel invented
by a member of a commercial houso
in the city rff Mexico and for
which a patent 'was obtained from
tho Mexican congress in May last.
The article is called "turbato" and
consists principally of bog peat of;
which there are immense quanti-
fies in Mexico mixed with a
propor proportion of bitumen or
chapopote. Tho articlo is made in
five different classes for locomo-
tives stationary engines smelting
purposes smiths' fires and house-
hold purposes. It burn? freoly
and without much smoke giving a
higher dynamic equivalent of heat
than tho same amount of wopd and
very nearly as great as the best
English coal. It can be m mufac-
tured and sold in Mexico at a price
considerably lower than -wool or
coal and looking at the daily in-
creasing demand for fuol the Fi-
nancier says that it is safe to pre-
dict a large and successful market
for "turbato." As all the ingredi
ents necessary for the manufac-
ture are found in inexhaustible
quantities in Mexico it -ill creato
a new and important industry in
thorcpuMic and constitutes a val
uable addition to the resources and
manufacturing facilities of the
i6ountry.
