Illustrative of our position In this mut-
ter wo will Blmply file tho fuel tlmt

the Investment of eiipllnl where it
enjoys un undisturbed freedom from
taxation the rleh limn beeoiin's the
eonsUint benelle.iury of tlio poor mini's
labor and under eireuinstanees that
nro by no means Just oreiiiitablo. The
poor meohmile who IiiImiih for twelve
mouths nnd by hard lieks and eloso
ceononiy snyes from bis earnings as
niiieh as a thousand or lllteen iiuiKiieu
dollars Is lad to Invest this liieomeln

is laxublo as soon as ho tfets it. His
employer whose iueoinc Is lifty thou'
sand dollars converts this money into
non-taxable bonds and draws his In
terest in gold every nix months. In
tliis-instnneo it will bo seen how the
poor man on his littlo property pur-
chased by the sweat of his brow
earned in honest labor paysii greater.
tax on his savings than tlio rich man
who realizes ten times as much from
the fruits of his capital.
This is it not fair it is not just
because a part of the taxes paid by Iho
liiborer and the greater part loo is
absorbed by the government for the
purpose of pacifying tlio claims of t hose
who hold its bonds. The dress worn
by his wife the scanty clothing of his
innocent children the leather apron he
wears while bending over his forges
the food that he eats nnd the tools that
be uses In his trade are all subject to
taxation by the government and the
money thus realized it divides between
its ollicers and its bondholders who are
required to pay nothing into the com-
mon treasury for the protection It allbrils
them. This method of legislation and'
of administration practically and sim-
ply means (hat the rich own the poor
and that the government is run in
their interest and against the in-
terest of ." the poor man thus mak-
ing "Hie rich richer and the poor
poorer." Xow how can granges nifect
any desirable changes in remedying
these evils? YVe beg to suggest that
by combination and n hearty co-operation
among our farmers a most desir
able and advantageous .change in the
routine of trade established by the gov
ernment can be effected and they are
the very class who should commence
tlio movement in this Htate because
they constitute not only the bone and
muscle of Texas but its wealth as well.
Let the societies leave politics out ol
their deliberations and trust their
political protection to the. Democratic
party which has "always" been the poor
man's friends us well as that of the
rich. "Where they organize let them
devise some plan wlieroliy the mighty
men of the East may find themselves
without buyers for their fabrics and
Without contributors to the' enlarge
ment of their money power and Influ-
ence...' Iiet our farmers come together
and on the altar of a common cause
sweur fealty to their rights ami then
vindicate them.
' In Texnt we bnve bides wheat corn
Cotton wool coal lead copper iron
and all the materials necessary to
make-ltthe finest manufacturing dis-
trict on the continent. Let the agri
culturalists not say that they are too
poor to erect the factories which would'
be requisite for the fabrication or all
the product wo produce. At an insig
nificant expense the farmers of Dal-
las county can erect mills .sulBcient
this year to grind all tlio wheat they
will raise. If they have not the mon
ey to Invest in these works let them
give so many bushels of wheat which
shall represent so many shares in the
works when established. . . There is old
wheat enough left oVer from lost year's
crop In this comity' to build a magnifi
cent mill with capacity for turning
out it thousand barrels of flour per day.
Let all this grain be put into a com-
mon fund and those who owii it sell or
hypothecate it and with the money
thus realized tliey can build nnd own
among themselvcn the factories with
which their crops would be innnufaet-
ured thus saving in the end the mar-
gin buyers enjoy in purchasing or the
toll they are compelled to pay to those
who are now engaged in b limited
way In Wo flouring business '
In the Mine manner cotton arid wool
en factories tanneries and all the oth
er various interests wo are one day to
have flourishing in our midst could be
erected. By giving these sort of enter-
prises' their attention nnd by laboring
to efleet n' consummation of the crude
plnns we have suggested we think that
granges con do our eountry n great deal
of good und we trust that our farmers
will consider what we.hnte wrltteii
and Mill deliberate upon it when they
get their assoclationsorgnnized. "When
they get our domestic jrvvf em of enter-
prises at worki and get themselves or
ganized then they should demand of
their representatives to impose a tax
upon the interest realized semi-annually
by the bondholders of the coun-
try. When that is done millions of
dollars now locked tip and uselcs" to
the general prosiM-rity and progress of
the country will come to Texas and
seek investment in its fertile hinds its
rich mines and vast prairies. Until our
wrong ore understood nnd remedy
applied to them we will continue to be
the serfs of a corps of national plunder
ers who are feasting while we toll and
who are crowing every day richer as
we p-t poorer. Our column are open
to anv one who may t ih to advance
any ideas calculated to facilitate the
mod work of making Texaa a manu-fn-turbig

We see from our late exchanges that
the people of Kcw Orleans have held
recently a "big talk" with tlio leading
negroes of that city and have adopted
and promulgated a set of resolutions
that present some of the flavors inci-
dent to sour grapes. The whites mid
blacks are now equal and (ieneral
Ueaiirogard and other shining lights
have added tlio lustre of their names
Wo tlio brilliancy of tlio peace basis
agreed upon. Civil rights social rights
and equal rights sound throughout all
the resolutions with all the harmonies
of a "tinkling cymbal." The following
Is the product of the commission and
will indicate the direction likely to be
taken by the political wind of that sec
tion:
HoHolved. flint. That henceforth we
dedicate ourselves) to the unification of
our people.
Second; That by "our people" wo
nieun lill men of whatever race color
or religion who are citizens of Loui-
siana and who nro willing to work for
her prosperity.
Third That we shall advocate by
speech and pen und deed the equal
and impartial .exercise by every citi-
zen of Louisiana of .every civil and
political right guaranteed by tlio Con-
stitution and laws of Louislnnu by the
Constitution nnd laws of the United
States and by the laws of honor
brotherhood and fair dealing.
Fourth That wo shall maintain and
advocate the right of every citizen of
Ioiiisinna and of every citizen of the
United Btotes to . frequent at will
places of public resort and to travel at
will on nil vehicles of public convey-
ance upon terms of perfect equality
with any and every citizen j nnd we
pledge ourselves ns far ns our influ-
ence counsel and example may go to
make tliis right a live and practical
right; and that there may be no mis-
understanding 'of our views on this
point
1. We shall recommend to the pro-
prietors of all public places of licensed
publie resort in the Htnte of Louisiana
tlio opening of said places to the pat-
ronage of both races inhabiting our
State.
2. And we shall further recommend
nil railroads steamboats steamships
and other public conveyances to pur-
sue the same policy. . .
!1 Ve shall further recommend that
our banks insurance ofllces and other
public corporations recognize and con-
cede to our colored fellow-citizens
where they are stockholders In such
institutions tlio right of being repre-
sented in tlio direction thereof.
4. We shall furthorrccomniendthat
hereafter no distinction shall exist
among citizens of Louisiana in any of
our public schools or lnstitutiuns of ed-
ucation or instruction supported by
the Htate city or parishes.
5. We shall also recommend that the
proprietors of foundries factories and
other industrial establishments for
employing mechanics or workmen
niako no distinction ueiween me two
races.
0. Wo shall encourage by every
means in our powoi-j our colored .citi-
zens in the rural districts to become
tlio proprietors of tlio soil thus en-
hancing the value of lauds nnd adding
to the productions of the Htiste while
it. will create a political conservatism
wliich is the offspring of proprietor-
ship: ami we furthermore recommend
to all land proprietors of our Htate the
policy of considering the question of
breaking up the same into small farms
in order that our colored citizens and
white immigrants may become prac-
tical farmers and cultivators of the soil.
Firm. That we pledge our honor and
good faith to exercise our morul influ-
ence both through personal advice and
personal example to bring about the
rapid removal of prejudices heretofore
existing against the colored citizens of
Louisiana i order that they may here-
after enjov all the rights belonging to
citizens of the United .States. .
Hixlli. .That we earnest ly appeal to
the nrcss of this Htate to join and co
operate with us in executing this mon
ument or unity ami aceoru 01 justice
mid like ourselvcSj forever bury he-
neulu It nil past prejudices on ine sun-
jeet of race or color.
rsevcnui. niui we ucprccuio aim
thoroughly condemn all acts of vio-
lence iroin whatsoever source and ap-
peal to our people of both races to abide
bj' tlio law in all their differences as
the surest way to preserve to ull the
blessings of life liberty nnd prosperity.
Kiglith. That we pledge ourselves to
this cultivation of a broad sentiment
of nationality which shall embrace the
whole country nnd uphold the flag of
the Union.
. Ninth. Tlnvt as an earnest of our holy
purpose we hereby oiler upon the altar
of the common good ull pnrty ties
and nil prejudices of education which
may tend to hinder the political unity
of our people.
Tenth. That in view of tlio numeri
cal equality between the white and col-
ored elements of our population we
ahull advocate an equal distribution of
the ofliees of trust and emolument in
our State demanding ns the only con-
dition of our suffrages honesty dili-
gence and ability: and we advocate this
not because of the offices themselves
but simply as another earnest ami jiroof
upon our'part that the union we desire
is nu equal union and not an illusive
conjunction brought nliout for the sole
heuent or one or tlio otner ot ine par
ties to that union. " 1 " '

The following article wo clip from

while we can not say that we endorse
and approve of all the sentiments con-
tained in it we do assert thai the edi-
tor of that Journal stands almost peer

ists is us true lis steel lo his country
and has always been regarded us nsuli-
stnntinl Democrat by the citizens of
New Orleans against whom the poW'
ers of the general government have
been bent with the saddest results to
their happiness nnd prosperity. While
we do think that the grange movement
Is calculated lo do the country great
good and if properly managed shall
have our support and encouragement.
we cannot sco the necessity of dissolv-
ing tho Democratic party. In ull the
nefarious measures which have been
ntlopted by tho party in power the
Democratic party lias kept up Its hearty
nnd unqualified opposition thus keep
ing itself and Its record pure. It has
been right all the time is right now in
nil its principles and why we nsk
should its organization bo broken up
nnd its cardinal features be engrafted
into u new party. We regard the
grange movement simply as local
auxiliary societies which tan operate
us effectually inside the Democratic
brotherhood as they can in nn inde-
pendent role. AYe are not yet in the
condition of the Western States nor
will wo ever be If the good people of
Texan will wake up to the Importance
of active labor in vindicating and pre-
serving their political rights. Let the
farmers go on and organize' their
granges but give to them u task of do-
mes! n Ci'Njng Let theni buildup
this fertile land mid use their granges
in tills consummation but for the pro-
tection of their political rights stick to
tlio Democratic party!
The dissolution of old parties appears
to be -the prevalent idea and topic of
the tiny. The popular discontent and
disgust Willi the issues upon which the
people have been divided for the years
past and the demand for new organi-
zations independent of old party
shackles and restraints begin to as-
sume a loud find emphatic tone and
defiant expression. .There is a pro-
found and prevalent sentiment that
both of these parties have fulfilled
their mission and can no longer be
maintained except as mere combina-
tions for spoils and power (o be con-
trolled by sclfllh and corrupt dema-
gogues nnd jobbers. Let theni be
ukiinloncil with all their associations
their names.- their -programmes and
policies. Let us have something now
and appropriate to tlio times and its
evils und embodying the most urgent
reforms and a hi'giTVr tiuid tif political
morality and administrative integrity.
Tlio most signal cropping out Of this
popular' tendency; its most dU.tiuctivt?
aiid expressive manifesto is embodied
in the grange movement which has its
origin in the grent Northwest and is
rapidly (Utilising itself through the
valley of the Mississippi. Tills move-
ment has as its chief object and rule of
action an entire obliteration of tlvc
old put ty lines and designations and
the introduction of u more honest and
juster administration of government
und wiser and more equal legislation
whereby the rights und interests of the
people of the great producing und in-
dustrial classes will be more faithfully
represented and protected.
And next to this opnoiiitioii to the
rolten oid politic-til panics the grange
movement declares mi eternal and
active hostility to rings and monopo
lies which with their natural allies
the political parties constitute the
present great evils und burdens of the
people und the most formidable foes
U liai inoiiy mid juuitliccoiii:idu and
fraternity and true republicanism and
honest democracy in the nation. To
banish spoil ism from the government
it is needful that old parties and politi-
cians should be discarded by the peo-
ple and a new and better order of rep-
resentatives should be called to the
public. oIHces. To ensure freedom of
trades of industry and equal rights
tiie first battle to be fought und won is
Hint agiiinst rings nnd monopolies and
tiie special favors and privileges
accorded to incorporate capitalists
through the corruption and infidelity
of political partisans.
The lirst condition of enlistment
therefore in this movement is the sol-
emn pledge to support no candidates
of the repudiated und obsolete parties.
' It cannot be denied that this is a live
movement and that it rests uisin ideas
wliich largely prevail throughout the
country. Nor is It at all iniprolmble
that it will gain rapidly in publie favor
not only in the North but in t lie South-
west. There is nothing in the proposi-
tions enounced by thta party which
will not command and at tract tlio sup.
fiort of that isirt ion of the people which
las during the lust few years suffered
so ninny defeats under the banner of
Democriiv. Nor is there any reason
to doubt that It. will Poeuro the support
of a large body of the new and for
some time past dominant party. Com-
bine these two and you make an or-
ganization which will control the des-
tinies of tho nation.
In this result our own section the
South has perhajis a deeper interest
than any other portion of 4b e Confed-
eracy. Noother has suflcreilso griev-
ously from the evils against which the
granges wage their war. Here the full
weight of the calamities of political
corruption nnd monojioly oppression
lias fallen with most disastrous cited.
But there is another aspect in which
this movement muy prove of great
relief pud benefit to the South Bused
on the combination of the producers of
the country ngainst tiie illegitimate and
dangerous power of political and cor-
porate rings and government-favored
capitalists a privileged class it will
supply the key tr the solution of
the race difficulty wliich so perplexes
the South and so seriously olmtruets
its reconstruction and the harmony of
Its people. Our colored people consti-
tute the ra.t majority of the tillers of
the soil the producers of the material
wealth of the country. '
Kvery motive of interest every in-
stinct of theirs will impel them to co
operate In a movement like this which
nil others will offer the most amured
reliance for the support of their full
equality. The dignity of lalr the
value of the producer the oar and do-
f me of ti ricuM iii le tbci.'iUf
concern of such un organization. Theso
are I'm- better securities to tho great
colored masses of the South ngainst all
injustice nnd political and social dis-
criminations than can be offered by
any of Hie old political parties which
now exist or have heretofore existed

mer wliich we trust will be entirely
intelligible to our friend in the land of
(lowers. Tho geographical history of
Texas is a big one. It Is bounded by
the iiio (I'rundo river on one side lied
river on another and tho (iulf of
Mexico on another and by reference
to a school atlas it will be seen to
occupy n big green space in the souht
east earner of tbe diagram The
country is healthy water good and
land excellent but we can't say how
much corn It will produce pel "aciikh"
We don't measure land that way in
Texas. We suspect that a good many
nehes in the small of tlio back nre
experienced in .the course of a year by
those who make extra good crops.
Timlier is plenty ii siii)ig places) in

und horses the range is mugtiillccnt
as any school book on tlio subject of
Texas will certify. We don't know.

We have railroads Indeed we have
for instance a roud from here to Gal-
veston another to St. Louis another
to Brooklyn and one commenced ((
Fort Worth and one commenced to
Wiijblti undanothcr to bo commenced
to Laredo and one diito lo Springfield
mid another ditto to New Orleansj and
on tlio map about three hundred und
sixty-five lines representing intended
lines all centering at .Dallas.
As for steamboats we have not done
a very big business iu thut line lately
but tlio Trinity river Is here and is
bunk full waiting nnd ready for the
Ureut Eastern. The most public place
iu tills city is Fendlcy & Miller's just
under the court room nnd in that place
where justice smiles when Its hund-
sonie pliyslogiionvy js rclloUed from Hie

don't "cite" much just now nearly ull
the. fellows have run off that it hud its
eye on. Wehiiv'nt got u "kourt house"
but we beat the world for keno. As for
our population it is variously estimat-
ed probably 8000 in the city nnd
double that number In the county. The
best " way bill " we can suggest is Slot)
U. S. notes. When you get to Gal-
veston you cyn "git" on the cars und
"git up and git" and If the fool killer

nbilities nre that you may reach Dallas
by due course of mall. There is no

plucc so the sheriff requested us to fill
the that demand as ho thought you
might have meant an editor. We
don't know what Ja "phesiun" is bpt

The above telegram has gone the
rounds of the Texas press in the last
two weeks without a word of comment
so far as we have seen. The time was
in days long past that the dentil of
George Fisher in Texas would have
been considered a publie loss.
George Fisher was a Greek who
Angluclsed his name after leaving his
native country. He was an accom-
plished English and Spanish scholar.
He came to Texaa anterior to the revo-
lution of 1835 mid having lived in
Mexico he Ix-cuinc a valuable acquM-
tion to our cause. His nniue runs
through the records of the struggle of
1K3VU. He whs honorably identified
with very important events and ren-
dered valuable service.
Qn the organization of the perma-
nent government of the Republic lie
made the only official translation of the
laws of Coahuila and Texas Into Eng-
lish that hasevcr been made. He long
lived iu Houston ; filled various offices
wrote some useful essays and in divers
ways maintained an honorable posi-
tion in the public mind.
ICarly iu the excitement he went to
California and the announcement of
his death Is the first we have heard of
him for a number of years.
Wk learn that a change will be made
is the schedule timeon the Houston and
Texas Central Ilailroad jTommencing
on Monday next The time of departure
from Houston and RedKiver City will
be the same but the speed will be in-
ened. so as to make the arrivals here
an hour and a hhlf earlier.
HOME KM'KMNITIEN.
In vlewoftheraplilgrowth and fin un-
cial Improvement in our city we would
oiler a few suggestions to tho powers
that be regarding some important
changes for tlio better which we tiro
confident all thinking men will deem
ubsolute necessities. We allude to tho
grading nnd opening of cross streets
nnd tlio repairing of tho bridgo over
Commerce street whose dilapidated
condition renders all passage that way
for tho present Impossible. What is
generally everybody's business is no
body's business niul we would bo glad
to know whoso business It is to look af-
ter these things in Dallas. Who arc
tho men whose salaried duty it is to see
that our streets are" at least passable for
vehicles nnd foot passengers? Wo are
sadly in need of good cross streets to
conne.ct Elm Main Commerce and
others.
The eyes of nil Northern Texns and
indeed of -tlKitisands of good people
contemplating emigration from other
States beyond tho Mississippi are upon
our thriving town as a place of ulti
mate residence and we should buckle
on the armor of progressiva wisdom
and smootho the way for nil new-
comers who are seeking a home and
fortune in Texas. Every dollar of
capital brought from other Stales and
Invested In Dallas adds just so much
to her wealth and prosperity; and if
we but improve the opportunities now
within our grasp we muy ono day
make tills point the grent .metropolis of
Northern Texas. It only requires en-
ergy and industry combined with de-
termined activity to effect flU tjiis
und we wisli to see every man rich
and poor old and young alive to the
grent necessities of our homo popula-
tion und willing to subvert private in-
terest to pub! lo good. Let every shoul-
der be put to the great wheel of pro-
gress and the engine of internal im-
provements kept in rapid motion.
Wo are proud to seo the many new
and handsome buildings going up
uniong us with such lightning rapidity
iiia we want a public right of way to
and from these new architectural mon-
uments of the times. Let tho cross
streets be opened and the sidewalks
made at least passable that strangers
coming uniong us even with small
capital muy view our growing city
with a pleased eye nnd be tempted be-
yond resistance to locate here. In-
crease of moneyed cupitul menus In-
crease of prosperity nnd our city fath-
ers should keep a vigilant cyo on every
thing calculated to influence the tide qf
fortune either for or against us con-
trolling the one und providing ngninst
the oilier by every means that wisdom
and watchful caution may suggest.
Godspeed the rapid rising of oiircily
suy we nnd to strangers we would say
there is n welcome and comfortable
home for each and all who may come
to cast their lot with ours. Work for
the million und pay for the same is nil
axiom in Dallas.

Ol'R VIENNA CORRF.NIOXDF..CE.
Vienna Austria Muy 12 1873.
To tho Editor of Tlio Dallas Herald :
Tho Welt Ansstelling Is now formal-
ly opened and visitors nre admitted
but departments are by no means iu
readiness and a month of hard labor
will scarcely bring everything to com-
pletion. Tho American department ns
yet mokes no display and is In fact in
quite a chaotic condition owing partly
to tho displacement of tho men who
hud any knowledge of whnt ought to
be done nnd tho installment of those
perfeetlly ignorant not only of whnt
whut ought to be done but of what
hud already been done. To be sure
they are doing their best nnd eventual-
ly order will arise from chnos but the
whole ufl'uir is to say the least mi fortu-
nate for us. Tho Swiss nnd English
nre perhaps In advance of ull olhor nn-
Hons mid nro proving themselves to be
practical people and also by no means
devoid of nrtlstle ability.
The Swiss division is resplendent in
silks und ribbons nnd the Swiss em-
broideries and muslins are here dis-
played ill costly profusion. Curtains
adorn tlio walls so exquisite in design
so fulry liko in fabric as to remind us
of the delicate creations of Juck Frost's
mngio touch upon our window panes
nnd yet they are the work of human
fingers embroideries which have the
deliency of lace nnd nre nearly as cost
ly. Basel displays a gorgeous enso of
ribbons sonic covered with heavy em-
broidery others bearing woven por-
traits of royal personagos. A hand-
kerciief with the Votive church em-
broidered upou it the gothio arches
nnd spires accurately copied ismnrked
20 guldens I. e $10. And another nt
the sumo price bus upon it the Belve-
dere or royal picture gullery.
Switzerland ulso sends pianos shoes
clocks stoves and fabrics for every day
wear and of course a large display of
watches of ull sizes from the tiny one
tho size of 'a ten cent piece up to the
largest stem-winding hunting case.
The machinery by which- watches nre
made is ulso displayed. One firm sends
some beautiful etching on gold.
A watch with a portrait engraved on
tho case and tho photograph from
wliich it was made lies beside It so that
the beholder may Judge of the accu
racy of the copy. In tho court belong-
ing to the Swiss transcript is erected
a Swiss chalet and within it are dis-
played some of the wonderful wood
carvings for which Switzerland is
famous A fan is hero seen curved
in wood so delicately thnt it rivals
tho wonderful Ivory funs displayed by
Berlin. One is almost afraid that look-
ing at it will break It.
Alusie boxes nre innumerable and
most of them boar the form of a Swiss
chalet vAh a clock in tho gnble. They
usuully represent an ideal chalet new
clean und urtistic but 0110 artist has
adhered strictly to nature. His chulet
is one that really exists; such a one as
you may see In any Alpine iass. The
stones luy thick upon tho roof to keep
the wind from blowing it away ; the
littlo balconies nro half blown down ;
tho windows nre hulf broken und
patched; some feather beds and pil-
lows hung over a pole nre receiving
their morning airing; a heap of knotty
wood lies under one flight of stnlrs
nnd two roosters nre fighting 011 the
rlokety fence. Of course a fabulous
sum is dcnfnndcd for this work of nrt
which is perhaps jthrce feet wide by
two feet in height.
Pu;or cutters made of wood with
carved handles nnd curved picture
frames are so plentiful as to attract
littlo attention more interesting are
the figures of animals lambs with the
wool ns "natural ns life" deers dogs
birds with every feather perfect and
work-boxes so bewitching as to compel
the most Idle woman to feel nu impulse
towards industry. Leaving these beauti
ful creations we ascended to the upper
story of tliis same building where we
found nil tho apparatus for teaching
which are used in the Swiss schools.
As many of these arc simllur to whnt I
have already described in the Austrian
exhibition of the same character I will
not recapitulate. -
The policeman in charge of the build
ing although 111 Austrian found In
the Swiss schools some things which
he thought better than the Austriau.
Tliis was especially In tho department
for girls. He opened a lnrge album In
which were displayed the work of girls
in the schools stockings caps shirts
with patterns for cutting out under-
clothing all most exquisitely made.
Crocheted lace as fine and beautiful al-
most as thread lace buby clothes
crocheted caps and shirts embroideries
and the most Interesting and I am in-
clined to think the most artistic of all
patching and darning in all varieties
so beautifully done that it was truly or-
namental. "Tliis" said the policeman " is whnt
we do not have in Austria and it is
what women need to know. We have
a few schools which sonic benevolent
individuals have endowd for the pur-
pose of teaching such work and then
there are the cloisters. But what sort
of an education do girls get In the nun-
neries ? When they come out they are
so glad to be free that tlfty won't do
anything but seek amusement and if
they have learned anything they won't
make any use of it" " Yes" said an-
other Austrian who stood by "the
cloisters are only pretenses of schools ;
they do the girls no good." I was a
littlo surprised and asked "Are yon
not good Catholics?" "O yes" was
the reply but there is so much priest-
craft nowa days. Wedon't likcthat"
I suaistl that Swi! rland Ic ing

They IUi amuted lu:utt:y saying

be allowed to be Ignorant of anything
So littlo by little light seems to be
penetrating the minds of tho people
and some time they will free them-
selves from kingly und from priestly
power but the tlmo Is not vet. But
Prussia seems to be recognizim? the
fact that Protestantism is tie; yi-citt st

Railroads anil IimnlKrMioii.
From the Alta CallfornliMi.)
DonGubrlel Maneern a meinber of
the Mexican Congress in a speech
advocating tho adoption of a system of
railroads said that tho United Stales
obtained a million immigrant a animal-
ly and ho thought his coun'rv would
get ut least one-fourth as many wliei
the projected iron track should l o
constructed. It happens however t luil
our immigrants do not exceed "nyxh
annually and many of these are in-
fracted by influences wliich will bo
lneking in Mexico for manv vcun.
Thousands of Germans and Si-uiidlniv-viiins
come to America every year on
the invitations of reiutives or 'friends
whoso houses nre open to receive them
who will provide them with occupat ion
and supply them with companionship
after their arrival. Their ignorance of
English docs not cut them oil" from
either business or enjoyment. Again
tunny Europeans coino' because they
know from trustworthy souicos tlut't
their mechanical skill will he.-o find a
market in tho woolen orcotb'ii mills
the mines of iron coal copper gol.l r
silver; in the ship-yards wagon sh c
chair tub or watch factories. Amoint
the great numbers employed they will -stand
a fair chance of getting work.
Besides they know that the country is
making immense industrial p.-ngivys in
many directions. Myriads i f houses
and thousands of miles of ruilio uls ar"
built annually; millions of in r. s .-nv
fenced nnd brought into cultivation
every seuson settlements are extend-
ing into new regions and the cenaimy
that tho immigration will continue
gives theni better chances for j retlt
after they shall have become familiar
with the country. Within a v eel: utter
reuclung the place where tbc.v intend
to muko their home the new immi
grants can declare their intention of
becoming citizens ami then caelt is
entitled to a gift of n farm or MH acres.
after ho shall have- occupied and tilled

AVe offer to new 'comers' many at-
tractions not found in Mexico. W'eoli-
tained immigrants before Stephenson
built tlio Skyrocket and convin. od the
world that tlio railroad was drstincHo
Iki a grent feature in progress. Our po-
litical system .our schools out land sys-
tem our commerce mid tin-general
social und industrial condition of the
United States are far more sni isi.u-t.ivy
to imniigmuts'thnn those of mn sister
republic. If sho wishes to romper

satisfy the world tho era o) military

the present peace is pernui n-nt not
brief and accidental ind thin foreign-
ers will be welcomed by pubi:cop'iii ri

tho duties amounting' to r-loiKHoutl
annually while the people of l iiepm o
indigenous rueo live in a retired niaii-
lior produce little consume little ami
nre vuluable to thu government chiefly
ns soldiers. Tho existence of a large
unproductive nnd ignorant populneo
Is a serious drawback to any country
and Mexico should do its blt to edu-
cate these people. It should further
provide liberal nutiirulizutiou laws
and if any fertile hinds still belong to
the Republic these should be surveyed
and offered ns gifts to settlers. JVci"
lnnd free schools and steady eiupi iv--mcnt
are (miiortniit conslderu'i ions wit li
Europeans seeking new homes. Alcx-
ico bus natural resources to sustain five
times as many inhabitants n- she 1im
now but sbo needs better Mute-uinn-ship
than she has had for th- Inst fii'ty
ears before she can get them. A
stop of progress in any tlirtcr.ion will
help things forward in the others ami
if either the railroads or the schools bo
soon provided the others will follow.
Known. Duty or I.l.'o.
It is a prime obligation rcstimf uimu
every man to succeed up to 1 lie'i'uilest
measure wliich it is possible for him lo
do. ' Success Is not only desirable but
it is a duty. Look ut u n.iii. along
whatever range of faculties and jou .
wtfl see in tho perfect equipment of
capacity in tho presence of every en-
ergy the obligation to success l it l lie
wings of a bird you seo tho Maker lias
suggested flight; in the build of a horse
and a (log speed is inniiile t; iu the
ox strength. And so through nil tin-
grades of life in the organization In
the capacities oostowcil t.lou lias point-
ed out the mode and result 01 life. lUil
in man this is most observable
Look at yourself my friend .- look at
your faculties your endowments ly
uature ana see 111 tnc iinend supera-
bundant resources of your orgmiina-
tion the suggestion yea the comma ml 1
of your Maker. All the elements and
means necessary to success iu uu
branch of worthy industry in any lino '
of noble ambition are in you.
A young man has no right to fail in -life.
It may not lie his opportunity to
succeed iu the direction and to that ex-
tent in which his natural capacities '
point.aiul make possible. Society is '
full ol failure that need never have ;
been made; full of men win have
never succeeded when they '
might and should have done
so; full of women who in tho liisi
half of their days diii ttotliiiig but
repent their follies and Weaknesses.
The world Is fttll of such people ; full
of men in every trade or profession
who do not amount to anyijing und
of girls and women without any trade y
or profession who do not s'nn to
have any desire to amount to anything;
and 1 do not speak Irreverently and
I trust not without charity without '
making due allowance for the itievitu-
