Much ha* been written aud
said Why t!le Governnten tshould
grant tie aid asked far by this
tunipnn£. Sumo journals g*
ho fur a to mix it up with
politics, asserting that the next
Speaker of. the Houseof Repre-
Bt ntati vea must be a man favor-
able U granting the aid asked
lor, while other journals and
politicians take the opposite
idnd.; ;
This is all wrong. All good
mini should be willing to sup-
port none but a lioncst mart for
Hgeaker,no matter what his re:
Iigious or political faith may be
or whether lie is. in tayor of any
particular measure'or not. The
question of: tfovurnmeut aid
should turn on simple points-
is it right if is it just ? will it be
pmlitable ? -av :
It is both just and profitable;
heeanse the necessities • of. the
tfjjmtry demand tliut this road
*lioul<l be built, and it is impos
sible to do it without Govern
nnmtaidjand because the
ttovemmeiit kas extended aid to

The north branch of lied .river,
it appears, was not laid down
nor known as the Red river in
the original maps of the ootui-
tJry in any of tl e treasties in re-
lation to the Mexican territory,
but the soittli branch was the
recogniztVd line, hence this de-
cision of the Commissioner.

The President having resigned:
and no Vice-President .being

called to the chair.
Paddock submitted the fol

New York Associated Press,. it
lis urgently recommended by
tliis association, that the daily
press of the State take . such
measures as will, secure to the
press of Texas a more satisfac-
tory neport.
• The application of, Richard
.Nelson, of Galveston, for mem-

received. It was not' approved
of by jthe Executive Board,'.and
was submitted to the Associa-

stroyed. The old coin t-house
was" also lmnied. The p>urr-«
'house caught on tire, but no!
^reat damage was done. Feats'
were entertained for the safety
of prisoners in the. county Jail, •
and they had to b« removedf
from jail. Water gave out,
which retjdered the engine use-
loss. It did'promising work as
long as water could be had.
The loss of property is. fear-
ful—estimated fi om omt to one
and a half million dollars. Many
families are without Shelter.
The north side of Cie public
square is partially damaged. It
is reported that one T. Pound
set lire to the City Saloon by
pouring oil on the floor and ig-
niting it, saying he would "burn
up the d—*d town." He had
been recently discharged from
the saloon; 'is a stepson of one
of. the proprietors, He was ar-
rested about ten miles from
town trying to escaiw, and is
now in jail. Feeling against
hi in is very bitter. •
Cross & Co.'s Iosh is $30,000.
Some lives are reported lost; but
one body has been touud yet.
One child was rescued from the
Saloon where tlie tire originated.

. . .CITY.
Edinburgh, Angnst 31.—Gen.
Granr, on receiviug the freedom
of the city, said:
"I am so filled with emotion
that J scarcely know how to
thank you for the honor confer-
ed upon me by making me a
burgess of this ancient city of
Edinburgh. I feel that' it is a
great compliment to me and to
my country. Had I the proper
wheti.

, y
eloquence I might dwell 'some
what on the history of the great
men you have produced, of the
nurticrous- citizens of this city
and of Scotland that have gone
to America, alrd the record they
have ^nade there. We are
proud of Scotsmeu as citizens of
America. They make good cit-
terns of our country and they
find it protitable themselves. I
again tuank yon for the honor
you have confcrcd upon me."
Three cheers were then given
for the youngest burgess.
Gork-Lented' People Make
. Better jPreebyterlans than
BapUats,
• ( The New York* Times is dis-
cussing the difficulties expe
rienced by Baptiat'clergj-'men in
baptizing people with cork legs,
and illustrates its ideas by dis-
cussing the case of Miss Wilson,
of Pinevtlle, North Carolina.
Miss Wilson had been the wearer
of a cork leu for twenty years,
and having suddenly experienc-
ed religion, desired to oe bap-
tized by the most skillful opera-
tor iu the country. When the
time arrived Miss Wilson.waded
out toward the reverend gentle
man, but the moment she touch-
ed deep water her leg asserted
its buoyancy, and slio was sud-
denly reversed.. The minister
attempted in vain to balance her.
Without weights it was not of
the slightest use. He accord
ingly called fora fifty-six pound
shotin order to adjust the scales,
whicli so enraged .the lady that
she scrambled ashore, hastened
home, and subsequently joined
the Presbyterians.
In the; good old times there
were three brands of flour in the
markets-fine, superfine; and ex-
tra. The difference in price was
SO cents per barrel. War pri-
ces introduced humbug prices,
under cover of newly invented
glides and patent contrivenses,
and tlie result was dearer and
inferior br«ad for family use.
Now that wo have superior
wheat, millers should go back
to original principles. The inil-
lers \vlio will do this will make
money. The margin between
the producer and the consumer
is altogether too great. Strike
tor wholesome flour and fair
prices: No miller puts more
-than four and a half bushels oi
wheat. In a barrel of flour. The
outside price for u bushel of
prime wlieat is The offal
pajrs for the cooperage and the
cost of manufacture. Bear
these /acta in mind when pur-
chasing flour for family use.—
Van Buren (Ark.) Press.
All of which is true here in
Texas as well ns in Arkansas.
Jack said he ki^eW the miller's
hogs were always fat, which1
proves the miller makes money,
but would it not be fair for lji'm
to divide the profit a little more
evenly with the producer audi
