clusions: 1. If the Republicans find
that public opinion continues to mani

Hayes that the plot will be abandoned

from the position assumed by them
that Hayes is elect.nl if the Democrats
will consent to a new election next fall.

Morton will be elected under such a

Hayes will lie droppedjand a new can
didate substituted and thni the present

ST. LOUIS AND THE TEXAS TRADE.
St. Louis has under consideration
another railrord project by which the
distances to rtncipal Texas markets
will lie dimin shed and an additional
amount of Texas trade seoured. The
new road which has been sketched out
by the superintendent of the St. Louis
Transportation Bureau has its initial
point at Texarkaua and is recommended
to run midway between the Transconti-
nental division aud the main line of the
Texas and Pacific Railway in a
direction wet by south to Dallas
passing through the counties of Howie
1'itus Hunt Hopkins and Dallas.
Leaving Dallas the contemplated route
should I to the westward of all existing
railroads passing through Johnson
Coryell Ilosijue.'liurnet Blanco Kendall
and Kexar counties to San Antonio
and thence t. Mexico with branches
from some po ut in Bosque county to
Waco and from some place in Bianco
county to Austin. The projector of this
enterprise assumes that lexas is anx-
ious to increase her trade with St. Louis
and will make liberal concession and
subsidies to the contemplated road loe
Superintendent ot the St. Louis Trans-
portation Bureau gives the following
statement of distances from different
points and the saving in transportation
that will be made by the adoption of
mo route suggested :
I. 1U1.I.AS.

r.Kfctively.
This road with 4.12 miles of main
line SO mile of branches aud 00 miles
of siding should lie built at present
prices of labor and material and equip-
ped in first-class style for less than
$7Ut)(.fti0. A contribution on the part
of St. Louis capitalists of tl(HK).tKH)
would secure for this city the perma-
nent control of such a line as proposed.
1 shall be pie used to furnish you at any
time with the specific details of expense
incident to Construction of such a line
as proposed also with approximately
accurate statistics as to the probable
earnings and expenses of the road
when completed. It is safe however
to assume that if the road were built
for cash without tho aid of any cmi-
airncuon companies the share capital
would from the outset earn rij per cent
annually on the amount actually paid
in. (afciton AVws.

Tin Philadelphia 7Ws remarks that

Board. Mr Sherman in an official re
port to the President cited the Pink-

slated before his committee utterly un-
worthy of belief. Even Kellogg' prose-
cuting officers and grand jurors dismiss-
ed her case from the courts and none
now pretend ttbat her testimony was
truthful in aoy material respect; but a
grave report made over Senator Sher-
man' signature rests the charge of po-
litical in ti mi 1st ion in Louisiana almost
wholly on tbe testimony of this aband-
oned woman. Would it not be well for

ONLY NINE PER CENT.
According to the official statement of
the comptroller of currency the cou-
tiaction of the paper circulation within
the last two years ending December 31
lSii" amounted to about nine per cent
of the whole tt.lumc. That is there
had been a reduction of $lj9tk)0(l0 of
legal tender notes beside tl8WK)000
which have been taken out of circulation
by being deposited in the treasury for
the withdrawal of bank notes and a
contraction of bank notes to the amount
of ."523iKiissj. In all the reduction in
circulation has been $ti7100(t00. This
fact with the favorable balance of trade
and sjiecie flowing this way are suffi
cient to account for the fall of gold and
tendency to a further decline.

UTILITARIAN.
Two Pittsburg shoemakers recently
tried the experiment of making boots
fi om human skin. By arrangement
with a medical college they secured
skin from the stsmach and back of a
man killed suddenly by accident tan
ned it nicely and made two pair of
boots therefrom the sole being made of
ordinaiy leather. They proved to be
warmer than boots made from the skin
of a calf and it is believed that they
will be every bit as serviceable. So the
utilitarian spirit goes on. They are
using the bones of the mummies for
knife handles and their dust for fertiliz
ers. Sow they want to use ua for boots
and shoes(the parents thus clothing the
children in a new way) and pretty soon
luey will be making our finger-bones into
necklaces and charms after the custom
of the Kaffirs and Bojesmen of South
Africa. This seems ltter than the new
fangled idea of cremation. After the
bones and skin are duly utilized the
fat men and women might be appropri
ately used for making soap for the sur
vivors.

The President appears itchingly anx
ious to do something "big" before he
surrenders the helm of government.
Keeping Southern State under the
heel of Federal power and taking their
governments out of their hauds to play
with their interests at pleasure may be
well enough as far as it goes but he
wants other worlds to conquer. His
time is almost up and he wishes an-
other throw at the dice taking his
chances of fame or an unenviable noto-
riety. The Nicaragua Canal scheme is
the spot upon which he counts and be
will warmly recommend the adoption
by theffcnate. of almost ant treaty that
the corresponding body of Sicaragtia
may present with his now pet plan as
tbe objective point. San Domingo and
Samana Bay have gone to prove that
the President is more of a filibuster
than a diplomatist in his outside rela
tions and in bis new enterprise he will
probably urge his views upon tbe coun
try with all the mad zeal of a speculator.
The people of the United States are not
prepared to say that an inter oceanic
canal would not in time be an advantage
to ail nations participating in it: but
the present ia a very unfavorable time
to press the scheme upon us or other
powers. The enterprise will cost a great
deal of money and it is not good policy
to ruin ourselves to increase our appar
ent greatness.
Advise your friends to take Thb
Dallas Hkrald and set them a good
example by taking it yourself.
Tnx readers of Th Hesald have been
advised from time to time of the re-
markable discoveries of Dr. Schlieman
in Greece. His latest important dig
into the earth has brought to light the
tomb of Argos in which was found a
large golden mask and an enormous
breastplate of gold. He also found the
body of a man wonderfully preserved
especially the face. The head was
round the eyes large and the mouth
contained thirty-two fine teeth. There
is however a difficulty about preserv-
ing the remains. There were also found
fifteen bronxe swords with great golden
hilts a mass of immense golden but
tons splendidly engraved ornamented
tbe sheaths of the swords: also two
great goidea goblets and a great quan-
tity of other objects in gold articles in
earthenware a carted wooden box sev-
eral articles in chased crystal ten la r ire
cooking utensils of bronze but no traces
of iron or glass.
