THE ABOMIXATIOXS BILL
Having with infinite trouble aud need-
less travail passed tho tariff bill con-
gress promptly adjourned to the great
relief of most people Although by far
tho most important and far reaching
measure of the session it was tho last to
become a law For months and months
It dragged its slow length from bouse to
senate and baok again receiving at each
separate stage of its progress some new
disfigurement or deformity to make it
more and more repulstvo to all but the
favored few for whom it was designed
At the last moment in splto of every-
thing that could bo dono to prevent
three Republicans of the house and
threo ot tho sennto voted against it Of
course they were Westerners who by
their firmness in resisting the blandish-
ments of tho Eastern members demon-
strated the decisivo political turn things
nro taking in the West where the protec-
tion spirit has for twenty tlvo
years been as earnest as in
Massachusetts itsolf The outrageous
desparity between tbo industrial com-
mercial and financial conditions o Mas-
sachusetts and Kansas or Iowa is too
patent and too striking to bo overlooked
It Is there in full view of all as visible
as Pikes peak to tho man at its base
It Is perfectly clear from a comparison o
the East aud West that protection doe
not protect all alike and that in the
nature ot things it can not and will not
until it acquires what Reed or MoKiuley
can never give it the uower of omnipo-
tence Itself Where are the Carnogies
Ammidowns or Ameses of Kansas or
Iowa Until the Western agriculturist
bo given an equal chanco under the
tariff with tho Eastern factory lord
never tell us that protection proteots all
alike
Well the Westerner is beginning to
see it that way It took him a long-
time to get the kindling wood out of his
eyes but be sees at last dimly perhaps
but surely The juggling over the tariff
on binding twine is enough to open his
eyes to tho rascality of the whole thing
lu spite of the unanimous demand from
tho wheat growing section of the North-
west for free twiue the twine trust was
powerful enough at tbo last moment to
have the tariff on its product restored
The voice of tho millions of agricultural-
ists and grain raisers of tho country was
outweighed in congress by about a score
of men who constitute a powerful trust
Who but peons and serfs would put up
with such treatment as that John
Sherman and others said that thn trusts
whose products enjoyed tho bene-
fit of protection ought to bo
struck at the custom bouso
Which ons of them was so struck Not
the cordugo and binding twine trust tho
rubber trust the white lead trust the
most powerful ot them all the steel
trust the Implement combines the cot-
ton bagging or cotton tie trusts or any
of tho scores of powerful trusts that
might be named On the contrary the
McKInley bill gives most ot them addi-
tional protection increasing the general
average from 47 to about CO per cent
In the interest of a free breakfast
table the duty on raw sugar was re-

Dallas Tex Oct 8 A meeting of theDal
las Republican club was heid last night at tbQ
city ball After some debate as to amount ot
admission fee that ought to be charged new
members it was found that no quorum was
present and the meeting was declaraJ informal
borne of the members though the present fee
10 was too much and It probably was tho
cause of a quorum not being present An at-
tempt will Le mads to have a meeting on next
Tuesday night
The Missourians residing in Dallas had a
largely attended meeting yesterday evening to
arrange lor Missouri day October 20 at the
state fair The meeting got down to business
An invitation committee a committee on badges
and a committee on Mlssourun headquarters
were appointed Tne meeting adjourned to
meet again on Saturday afternoon at 4 oclock
at tbo county court room when a large attend-
ance is desired
Dallas is going through a systematic cleaning

It is perhaps a good thing for the appearance of
Dallas that the fair conns once a jear
Late yesterday evening the local insurancn
agents had a meeting free for all and at
which the agents not represented at the dark
lantern meeting of the day before were present
It was agreed to discontiuuo hostilities and
rate slashing until this morning at 10 oclock
when another meeting was to be held At the
meeting this mo ning rats were restored with
an understanding that no agent is to cut under
the rates without permission from his fellow
agents It is expected that tho Dal-
las board ot underwriters will be re-
established and that a fiftydollar fortet will
bi put up by each of the agencies The fun
was of short duration but it was lively whi lo it
lasted Hundreds of thousands in risks were
cancelled and rewritten at a lower rate Some
of the agencies cancelled their own policies and
took the same risks at a lower rate in order to
keep the opposition from taking their risks
from them
One faction wonld find where the other side
had risks anJ would offer to take ihe same at a
low rate and stand all the expense of cancella-
tion and in this way many risks were change
but the end has come for the present and in all
probabili y the rates will be indefinitely main-
tained At least one good has been accom-
plished by the rate war tor it isunlerstood that
a revision or rates will be made and that under
the nw tariff the rate will be considerably
lessened as compared with those now in force
the insured have held that tha old rates hare
been too high and will welcome the proposed re-
duction
The Dallas feight agents are moro than
pleased with the business being done at the
stations of the various roads The receipts are-
a heavy as when the cut rates were in force
For the month of September the Dallas station
freight receipts of the Santa Fe were 1710 i0U
pounds and the indications for October are that
an equally large olurnc of business will be
done

It is understood that some of tho older men
will enter a serious protest against the substi-
tution of any engineer in the place of Mr Cook
to inspect the waterworks reservoir The
ground for the protest is that Mr Cook was
hired and paid 0Q as consultiug engineer on
this work and that accor ing to the terms of the
contract ne alone can arbitrate and settle differ-
ences between the contractors and
the city For another man to
take his place in the matter
would probably lead to a qnestion of legality in
rase his judgment was not satisfactory to all
parties interested The question will probably
come up in the council meeting toni4ht and in
all probability will be amicably settled In some-
way The people are growing tired of the un-
settled condition of the reservoir matter and
hope for a sppedy adjustment of the same

THE ALBUQUERQUE
Its Construction Would Contributc
Largely to Fort Worths Prosperity
A feggrstinn nd Arzcmrnts In FaTor of
Consolidation With th ranbandle
Corslcana and New Orleans
rtcss Tbx
To the Fort Worth Gazette
The property holders of Fort Worth
have good reason for being interested in
the building of the Fort Worth and Albu-
querque road It requires no uncommon
sagacity to see that its construction would
contribute largely to the business and
prosperity of your city and that every
mile added to its extension northwest
would increase both tho business of the
road and of Fort Worth The trouble
seems to be that the citizens of Fort
Worth lack the surplus capital to carry-
on tho enterprise and that they havo
not up to the present been able to in-
spire suQlcient confidence in nonresident
capitalists to induce them to risk their
money In It
While I do not pretend to be capable
of advising the business men and prop-
erty holders of Fort Worth ns to what
tbey oucht to dc yet we all know that
sometimes a suggestion from a very ob-
scure source unlocks a difficult problem
In business matters 1 therefore veuture
to sugcest that as there is n charter for
n hat Is called the Panhandle Corslcana
and New Orleans railroad company It
might be feasible to consolidate that
company with the Fort Worth and Albu-
querque compauy and tnuke the two a
great Southeastern and Northwestern
trunk line There are it seems to me
several reasons why this might be done
Tho terminal points of the Panhandle
Corsienna and New Orleans road ure
Fort Worth and Pendletonon the Sabine
river iu the northern part of Subiue
county It is evidently the purpose of
company to construct two lines beyond
tho Sabine river one to Alexandria on
Bed river and the other to New Or-
leans An examination of the map
shows that from Fort Worth to New Or-
leans aud from the Southern Pacific to
the New Orleans Pacific and the Texas
Pacific railroads there is an immense area
of territory depeudiusr for railroad trans-
portation east and west on the above two
lines both of which are circuitous Tho
proposed road would run through this ter-
ritory destitute of railroad fucilities aud
would greatly shorten tho disuuoe be-
tween New Orleans and Fort Worth
From Fort Worth to both Alexandria and
New Orleans the road would run through
a well settled country having a soil aud
climate adapted to a great variety of ag-
ricultural horticultural and pastoral
productions capable of sustaining u
dstise and prosprous population The
main Hue nnd the two branches would
ruu through at least two hun-
dred and fifty miles of the finest limbered
country m the world densely covered
with pine cypress white oak aud other
kinds of oak hickory nsh walnut nnd
other hard and soft woods of commercial
value In East Texas it would ruu
through the great irou ore fields and in-
exhaustible beds of lignite aud marl und
through the oil aud fire and potter clays
of thut section The development of the
iron ores und the lumber business would
alone furnish nil immense traffic busi-
ness At Alexuudrlu it would hnve out-
lets by water uud two muln lines of
road The completion of the road from
Natchez to Alexandria now in operation
a part of the way would give connection
with the Natchez and Jackson or Lit-
tle J railroad to Jackson Miss and
lrom there direct to Blrmiughuin De-
catur Chattauoozn Atlanta and nil
points East The building of the Hous-
ton Central Arkansas aud Northern
railroad now under construction from
Columbia to Alexandria would give tho
Alexandria branch a northern connec-
tion
The consolidation and construction or
the Panhandle Corslcana uud New
Orleans and the Fort Worth nnd Albu-
querque railroads would supply the ueed
of a great Southeast and Nortwest trunk
line affording as it would tho shortest
and most direct route from the Gulf aud
Atlantic points to the Pacific coast Look
at the map if you please and trace a
liae from San Fruncisoo through Albu-
querque Fort Worth Alexandria
Noichez and Jackson Miss and thence
through either Chatanoogn or Atlanta to
New York und then suy whether a
shorter or better route can be found
Tho development of the mining and
lumber business nlong its eastern line
and the impetus It would give to the set-
tlement of the vast and productive agri-
cultural and grazing region on its most
westorn end would assure a large busi-
ness It would be a great line for carry-
ing cotton grain wool and hides cattle
and horses to eastern markets and the
trains loaded east with these would be
returned with groceries lumber iron
nnd iron ore for tho western markets
The character and diversities of its
freights would civo steady business the
year round there would be no idle or
dull seasons Every Hue ot road croplng
it would become a feeder and distributor
A writer iu the Manufacturers Itecord
has said that the Southern pioneer rail-
road builders mude a great mistake in
buildiuc their roads away from Instead
of through the mineral regions of the
Appilnchiuu chain of mountains That
thvy avoided ruu around or when com-
pelled to > rop it sought out the shortest
nnd cheapest points to get away from
the vast stores of iron and coal now
yielding untold wealth aud contribu-
ting to the roads since built to develop
these resources the greatest amount and
most profitable traffic It may not be
visionary to say thai the time may come
when the same will be repeated in Texas
The great lines of railroads now iu ouora
tiou were built to meet the demands
then existing the settlement and devel-
opment of the great and rich agricul-
tural regions At that time aud not
uutil recently had the timber and min-
eral resources of the state attracted out-
side atteution It is now different
Capital has gone and Is going
to the Llano country seeking investment
In the rich irou ore lands and in the
marbles and granites of that section
The lumber busiuess of East Texas Is now
one ot the biggest things in the state
Capitalists are investing lu timber lands
andtbe hauling of lumber is the most
important item In the freight lists of the
roads ruunmg iuto the pineries Large
tracts ot iron ore lands haye been bought
up tew furnaces ereoted aud others iu
contemplation Practical experience has
demonstrated that no where can n better
grade of iron be made at a lest cost than
in East Texas The supply of ore Is prac-
tically inexhaustible It has cheap and
acceptable fuel in abundance All the
conditions for making cheap pig iron and
for manufacturing it into articles of use
exist in near proximity Such condition
must attraot capital and population and
where these go railroads will find the
greatest amount of and the most profita-
ble business T C JIooke

aud its relation to agriculture
He first paid a hiirh compliment
to the patrons of husbandry enumerated
some of the objects and alms of the order
nnd what they hud ucccnnplished in the
way of disseminating agricultural knowl-
edge uud stimulating the turmer to study
his own condition and try to learn the

ment The Grange fair association
he saidwas a step in the right directiou
aud tlrit it was now a fixed fact an as-
sured success and he us n citizen of a
sister oily envied MiGregor this great
boon The speaker tneu took up the
tariff question and discussed at leuzlh
the futul mistakes mude by our Re-
publican legislators on that subject
He presented uu extensive array of facts
and figures to prove that tho nearer we
approach free trade the better for the
farmer That the tuxes ou importations
was a small amount compared to the
umoutit paid out by the con-
sumers to home manufacture in
excess of actual cost ou
account of this protective turiff This
tariff question should not be a party
question It is of vital Interest to every

congress passed a law giving every city with C00J
pnDulation or ouJ0 gross receipts of the post

numbered This entitles this city to the service
as the receipts last year only liked jus a little
of being entitled to the service under the old
lawas last j ears postoCice receipts only lacked
a few dollars of reaching 10U This matter
was rought before tbcCommercial club last
night and a committee was appointed to urge
tho city council o pass an ordinance forcing all
pronerty owners to number their buildings and
to designate a plan for the work

torical records bearing on the task I have
undertaken
