TSoMR wiseacre save: "A man io
always a f »ol, He p-ove* it.
W* wltloin find people ungrate-
ful when we are in a condition to do
them a service. —-
Truth is the shoitest and neare t
way to our end, carrying ua thiiher
on a straight line.
John Bright received a desert
service at the recent complimentary
celebration. It is a difficult thing
for John Bright to get his deserts,
they are so great. ~ —
To reserve one's forces is always
foresight. It is the wisdom of the
true general and the want of it em-
phasis the failure of many a more
brilliant man.
The industrial growth and enter-
prise of Texas may be aptly illus-
trated by the fact that the State's
wool clip (in the grease) will prob-
ably fully equal that of California,
which in 1882 was 39,488.394
pounds.
What a pity that the dark shad
ow of the gallows should fall over
the glorious Fourth among us. It
is a ead reflectien that the fifth must
see the death of a wretch, however
miserable, paid as the greatest pen-
alty to ©u*ra«ed law.
Some newspapers are inquiring
what office it was-that Garfield of-
fered Stephen W. Dorsey, and to
which the latter recently referred
in the Dickinson letter. We can
answer that question. It was the
secretaryship of the interior and a
declination was written early in
February from Dorsey's ranch in
New Mexico.
An aphorizer says, "Let us cher-
ish sympathy." What with ? A
libeler, a bully and a coward, for
instance. Not at all, but with the
reverse of all that is found behind
those names. If one does cherish
sympathy and manifests it, with
things that are good in themselves
and noble in their outcome, they
are just the things that the libeler
will defame, the coward will sneer
at and the bully will decry. We
do not need to go a great many
miles to find that illustrated every
day.
The reports received from the
vicinity of Janos Chihuahua, are
of a character not wholly unexpect-
ed. If it be true, as we Fear, that
the bucks who were not brought in
by Crook's command are out raid-
ing, a sharp discussion will arise
5 as the effect of Secretary Teller's ac-
tion in refusing admission to the
captives on the San Carlos reserva-
tian. Of course with the usual in-
consistency which accompanies
possible danger, there will
be a general |rQindemnation
of. Mr. - Teller's action. Perhaps
that action may be proven unwise
by the results, but if so, we opine
tr.at it there had been an open and
frank announcement made to the
public acd country, of General
Crook'* views and propesed policy,
immediately upon his arrival
within the United States, that no
conflict would have followed. The
real or apparent reticence of Gen-
era I Crook opened the door lor any
mistake Mr. Toller may have made.

Coal is not a scarce product of
Texas. At Cisco, Eastland county,
501 miles ea t of us on the Texas
and Pacific, there is a considerable
and valuable coal field now being
worked. A correspondent of the
Fort Worth Gazette fays: "The
mountains, -which are liberally in-
terspersed in the make-up of the
country, are rich in coal and iron,
and the former is now being devel-
oped in three mines, two within two
miles of the city. One is owned by
the Texas Central railway, which
gets its entire supply of fu<U here.
McDonald & Son are successfully
working* another. They came to
Cisco a year ago with a cash balance
of about $100, leased coal lands and
immediately„began to sink a shaft.
They now have a contract for all
their mines can produce, delivered
on the cars at 94 per ton. The Texas
and Pacific pastes through large
traoCr of these coal lands,which can
be purchased at $20 per acre. For-
merly they were leased at a nomi-
nal rate, but that day has passed.
The' coal taken from these mines is
<*T a good quality, and gradually
. gtow* better as the shafks mm
Colonel UsIja, chief t>i sfti?
General Fuero. den:< s that there ia
any foundation for the Statement
wh'chT W*s so fri e v
round Paso de! N«»rte that a Mexi-
can soldier had been cruelly and
brutally flogged and which was le
ported in yesterday's Times. The
colonel stated that no such outrage
occurred nor would any inhuman
sentence be inflicted at Pubo d**l
Norte with hia knowledge. All who
know Colonel Unda can well be-
lieve this, nor had the Times the
slightest intention of reflect ng on
that gallants gentleman. But un-
fortunately the Mexican soldier is
subjected to cruel treatment. When
he becomes a soldier he seems to
sink from a free man to a slave,and
in his person, what we and e-rery
civilized nation, the Chinese alone
excepted, regard as the "noble pro-
fession of arms" is disgraced. The
lash is used in the army of Mexico,
its soldiers are hered like cattle,
punishments of a cruel di«cription
are inflicted, without public knowl-
edge and at the sweet will of subor-
dinate officers. This is simply
true. The lash applied to the back
of a nation's defenders is simply
barbarism.
The idea that Mexico will any
longer remain the refuge of thieves
and murderers is fast disappearing
before the stern presence of facts.
The notorious Charley Ray, alias
Poney Diehl, who, with two other
desperadoes, killod three soldiers of
the Eighth Cavalry at Las Cruces
about three years ago, has been
promptly taken in at O.ihuahua
and handed ovsr to l-niiod States
Department Marshal Van Patten,
who thus adds one more to his many
laurels. The Rio Grande Republican
thus comments on this important
arrest: "The importance of this ar-
rest can hardly be over-estimated in
view of the man's thorough had
character, his long career of crime,
and his association with the leading
criminals of southern New Mexico
And yet this arrest would never,
have been accomplished but for ti e
promptness nith which our Cattle
Association, through its officers, fol-
lowed him up, and supplied the mo-
ney necessary to finally land him
within the doors of our iron cells."
"Captain Van Patten bestows
great praise on the Mexican officials
for the zeal with which they sec-
onded his efforts to get the prison-
er, and their evident anxiety that
he should be brought to justice."
The manner in which the authori-
ties of the law make the sister re-
public hot for the lawless, and in
which they so earnestly co-operate
with our officials, both federal and
state, is deserving of more than
passing praise, it used to be a
boast, that to cross the river wash-
ed out all the charges of punish-
ment on American soil. The boast
is now a very idle one. What a
man sows he is likely to reap, even
though there be but "one" more
river to cross."

GENERAL MERCHANDISE
Transfer Co.
"The essence of ownership ia the
right of control." This is the
aphorism with which a well known
railroad ovgan commences an argu-
ment to show that "regulation by
coercion" is actually "confiscation.'
We don't propose to diacuss the
subject of governmental control,
regulation or supervision of rail-
roads. We are like Oliver Twist
and cry for "more"—railroads. But
there are a few fundamental facts
that control the problem and they
need to be stated when the grave
sophism ia - uttered that
"the essence of owner-
ship is the right of control"
Is the owner of a h use allowed to
set fire to it? May a man dig on
h e land and . open a cess-
pool? There is a good deal
of | property of which the
law declares the essence of owner
^hip is not control by ihe owner—
private or corporate—as for in-
stancy dynamite. What would
John Bull say to our sophistry?
As to railroad properly it must be
borne in mind that it could never
have existed without the consent of
the sovereign will of the state.
Railroads are "pubiic trusts.*' They
are performing "public functions.17
They receive their power to become
ihe first and to perform the
second, through the public a ill,
expressed" in legislative enact
ment. Then, as to the owner-
ship question, no one will deny for
a moment, who is not a nihilistic
doctrinarie or a socialistic fanatic,
but that the private property and
investment quality involved; is one
that must be guaranteed and pro-
tected to the fullest extent or the
law and the powers of organised
society. -Still, the public character
railroada or any rather corporate
organized to carry forward a
: function, such w
