The editor of the Floresville
Chronicle noticing the Rogers inter-
view in the Kyle Times says it made
him sick to find the ex-re vereud gen-
tleman posing aa a millionaire. Rev.

A almri lima lira it will ba romom
bored ft arty of the buainoNt men of
lilanco attended a railroad meeting at
San Marcos to try to secure the Mis-
souri l'aciflo extension from Baatrop
or the V redencksnurg and nan uar
roa Vallov It. It- Tho o'tar-Vindiea
tor contended all the while that Kyle
waa tlie point Blanco should look to
for a road coming to tiiese conmu
aiona bv letlera received bv promt
nont railroad men but tba business
men of San Marco impressed it up
mi the minds of the Bluuco delexa
tion that Sun Marcoa waa the place
Blanco should look to lor a roan.
Now it inrnR out that we were right
and that Kyle will got the Missouri
i'aciflo after all and that Han Marcos
and Lockhai t will be left in the cold.
We ooncratulute the Deonle of Kyle
- - 3 - a
on their success knowing at tho same
time that it is to Blanco s interest lor
that nlace to receive the extension.
Blanco must now look to Kvle for
the road.
In a late issuo the Blanco Star-
Vindicator again comes to the charge
as above being substantially a repe-
tition of what we recently copied
from it. The Star-Vindicator thus
shows that continued bitter hos-
tility to San Marcos which it has
always manifested with only alight
intermissions of hypocritical profes-
sions of friendship. Yet this same
Star-Vindicator is the paper which
the Cresset of this place baa been
habitually quoting as an authority
against the Fiiee Press. "Birds of
a feather" etc. Our readers will re-
collect the course of all preceding
newspaper opponents of tne Iree
Press. Cashell while publishing a
paper horo was a great pretended
advocate of our town but suddenly
changed and denounced it bitterly
just before he left for Kyle. Mc-
Leraore pursued a similar course
puffing our town while it served his
turn to do so and then blackguard
ing it. And it will not surprise us in
tho least if our present gusher and
boomer in the not distant future
should be found following in the
footsteps of these his distinguished
predecessors. His zeal and extrava-
gance of praise is too excessive to
last. Mark the prediction.
"Liberty enlightening the world"
is a glorious motto but would not
the liberty and the enlightenmont ma
terialize a little more rapidly if for-
eigners who know not ono word of
our language were excluded from the
polls until they understood somewhat
the principles of the government and
the language- of the people whom
they control by their ballots. Thous-
ands of men in this state hundreds
in this county tens of thousands in
the country were herded at the polls
last election like dumb-driven cattle
and their votes were as potont in de
termining public affairs as tho votes
of the wisest native American on the
continent. Let ns have more than a
more declaration of intention on the
part of a foreigner before he becomes
the peer of our citizens at the ballot
box. Reform here is imperatively
needed. And yet we regret to say
all efforts in that direction failed in
the Texas Legislature. People ex-
Dress their disgust and indignation
after every election and demand a
registry law but their servants in the
legislature we fear at the dictation
of political traders continue to give
no redress. A most shameful state
of facts.
The Legislature adjourned for good
on
Monday. Among the closing
proceedings we find the following:
Whilo waitinrr for the hour of dis-
Holntion. otherwise called final ad
journment the members sauntered
out and lp.the nan at pleasure ana
sixty-nine of them who had voted for
tlie resolution imprisoning Mr. II. S
Canneld of the San Antonio Express
newspaper were served with notices
of suit by Mr. Cantiold for $110025
damages for false imprisonment
Many of the parties served intimated
tlmt this would be responded to by
suits for libel against The Express.
The Sergeant-at-arws is embraced in
the Canneld suit
We believe Canfiold's action as
above is right. There are some grave
questions involved in the course of
the House agaiust him which may
now bo solved by the courts.

WASHINGTON' LETTER.
(From Our Itegular Correapoudont )
Washington March 28 1887.
Secretary Whitney has placed an
othor brilliant feather in tho cap of
this administration. Probably no
Domocrat not evon Samuel J. Tilden
whilo living ever receivod such un
stinted praise from the Republican
press as has beon showorcd npon him
during tbe past week. Nothing has
beon done by any member of Mr.
Cleveland's Cabinet since it whs or-
ganized more calculated to win pop
ularity than is the act of tbe Secre-
tary of the Navy by which the work
of fortifying our seaports and build
ing ironclads is established on a solid
foundation.
Since I wrote you the long dis
cussed Interstate Commerce Com-
mission has been completed announc-
ed commented upon approvod and
now it is about to organize and go to
work. The five lawyers comprising
it and who represent the States of
Alabama Illinois Michigan New
York and Vermont are practically
placed in charge of private property
valuod at about seven thousand mil
lion dollars. This tremendous re-
sponsibility is greatly increased when
it is remembered that almost the en
tire internal commerce of the country
is affected by tho action of this new
court.
No one doubts tho honesty of the
members of the Commission and
thev are all conceded to be men of
ability and their lubors will be com-
plex and comprehensive the new law
is a vast problem; every feature of
its operations more or less perilous
and whatever is done the Commis-
sion will be criticised and opposed on
every side. The railroad men. ship-
pers und travelers producers and
consumers aro waiting to pour com
plaints queries communications and
requests by the thousand upon the
Commissioners as soon as they are
ready to receive them and will make
their lives burdensome of course.
The effect of tho new law upon this
city will be pronounced. Practically
it gives tho Capital a new Govern-
ment Department. A large and ini
portant bureau will be organized at
once a largo clerical and official force
will bo appointed by the Commission
legal and other representatives of all
the railroads in the United States
will bo drawn here besides thousands
of people interested in questions
brought before the Commission.
Altogether it will add greatly to the
activity of the coming summer in
Washington.
To the People of Texas Advocatlnpr Pro-
hibition. You aro earnestly requested to or-
ganize in every county in the State at
your county site as early as possible.
We suggest the following plan of or-
ganization. 1. Let the county committee con-
sist of one wisely selected man from
eae.h precinct.
2. This man to be ex-officio chair-
man of the Prohibition club in his
precinct which club it is his business
to organize and increase until the day
of tbe election.
3. Let the county committee choose
an executive committee of fivfl resi-
dent in the county site or accessible
to it to which will be committed the
management of the county canvoss.
4. Let this exeoutive committee
put itself in immediate connection
with the central committee aud keep
tin continually posted on all matters
concerning the management of the
campaign.
This organization must precede all
intelligent canvass of the State.
Notify the central committee im-
mediately upon completion of your
organization triviner the name of
county chairman.

tailur Mapretlona.
Eorroa Faaa Fana: Work baa about
auapended until rnlu ooniea. Fanners look
in every direction for a hopeful cloud. Stock
water ia many plaoea baa bococne a aerloua
matter. Many have to baul water for dor
meatio nae. Water la needed in theaa parta
worae than wkiaky yea even worae than
politlca. We do not mean to jnat about the
matter we. want water and uo whUky. Aa
tba Legixtuture baa granted ui the privilege
of voting for water we hope the people will
get ao Interested in the water aide of thia
great monj latue that they will docldo to
bnva nothing but water and plenty of it
Aa there ia nothing known of artesian
well except from hypothetical reaaonlng
yet we know that auch tbinga do exist and
the boring of which ia uncertain and im-
practicable in many places the expenaea at-
tached thereto boiug too heavy for one In-
dividual to make aa an experiment and aa
tbe wealth of a county or State ia dependent
upon tbe proapority and accumulation of
wenltb by the people would it be unwise
or impolitio for a county or State to make
appropriations for experiment r If auoh
action be not unwise and ahould provo sue.
ceasf ul would it not lend renewed energy
and enterpriae to our people 1 Would not
our Western Texas which ia ao subject to
drought bo made prosperous and happy by
tbe presence of over flowing wells?
If we cannot obtain water from the earth
we must go to the heavens for it We be-
lieve we have seen it stated In the press
somewhere that some innu whose name we
cannot recall was about to invent a rain
machine or rain gun. Conceiving the idea
that the Gulf clouds that blow over the
greater portion of Texas are too much rari-
flert and only need condensation to form
rain the clouds beiug within reach of an
ordinary cannon thus throwing a cartridgo
filled with explosives having attached to it
a fuze and bursting right among the olouds
causing concussion which would bring about
condensation and rain. As foolish as this
may seem yet it is very probable. There
are facts connected with the history of wars
that would seem to sabstantiate this philos-
ophy. It is said soon after the battle of
Waterloo a superabundance of rain fell.
We have hoard soldiers speak of heavy rains
after bard battles were fought. Again we
notice soon after a hard clap of thunder the
rain pours. Some believe and theorize that
vegetntion trees rivers railroads cultiva-
ted ground all have a tendency to produce
rnin foil. Doubtless these assist in robbing
the winds of their moisture and condensing
it into dow and rniu. Geographers tell us
that on the western slope of the Andes the
rainfall is entirely excluded. The prevail
ing winds coming from the Atlantio are
robbed of their moisture as they pass over
the mountains thus producing abundant
rainfall on the eastern slope.
We live in a fast age on age of inven
tions. The telegraph the locomotive the
stenmboat and telephone are of recent date
The liuhtuings ns it were snatched from
the clouds by man and mode to obey bis
will transmitting messages almost as quick
as thought the locomotive speeding across
the continent in hot host? the Bteamboat
gliding across the billowy waves from shore
to shore the telephone echoing accents
clear aud audible from town to town a thou-
sand and one Deices of maohinery made for
his convenience all echoing and bespeaking
the wonderful ingenuity of man. J. T. D.
The concluding sentence of our corres
pondent's interesting article seems to us in
complete and we think he might havo fair
ly added that in view of the wonderful pro-
gress iu inventions to which be refers it is
by no means impossible or unlikely tbat
man may iu some way yet obtain suoh con-
trol over the elements as to produce rain at
will. At any rate he can certainly find a
substitute for it to a large extent by irriga
tion from streams and artesian wells and
this is a snbjcot which should obviously be
considered and acted upon in Western
Texas. Eo.
Martindale.
Our hopes were raised to a considerable
height this morning (4th) by the shower
that came up with the norther. Ic was
thought if the wind would stop the rain
