State only pays seven per cent on

illustrate; suppose this community
should have in it an element of Mar
monism, or any of the great evils
which tend to corrupt the morals of
hasty retreat.
A later dispatch says that Gen.
Crook surprised another village of
from 200 to 300 Indians and killed
every one.
The San Francisco Bullet in of
Aujjest 33 says: "The are upward of
fifty vessels iu port under engaga-
nient to load whaat for Europe the
largest number in for two years.
Some of the vessels cannot possibly
be loaded before the middle of No
vember. There is. therefore, no
pressing demaud for wheat vessels
for the next thirty days. Besides
there are over twenty-five disenga
ged ships and barks in port, most
of which are suitable for wheat. In
addition there is about 50,000 tons
of tonage due by the 1st of Novem
ber. It is therefore folly to hold
out for extreme rates, for they will
not be paid in the next nniety days.

locks. So it is quite plain to the
dullest comprehension that the cor
poration has an "elephant" on its
hands and that the State should not
buy it. "We would better wait for
judgment in those who thought it an
evil doctrine to say that if it is to be
taught we want it taught by honest,
upright, intelligent and influential
citizens, or would you not ratner
think it good judgment in them to
be 50s

The company should be required to

The heat, ill feeling and even ha

by the preseut expensive and tedious
system of petition and remonstrance

satisfy everyone that it is a bad way
to settle the question. The contest
becomes a personal one and against
a certain man, and worse than that,
it is a fight against a man's private
business and that business a lejjal
one (which is the best that can be
said for it). It entails a heavy ex
pense on both the applicant for li
cense aud those most interested in
defeating the petition. It also costs
the county, for in thelate contest
the Commissioners court was en

petition. Furthermore it is an unjust
