Kicker, Lee & Co. vs. d. d. Shoemaker
—Appeal from iMllas: Appellee surd tlie
Santa Fa Railway company and appellauts
for injuries received by him while engaged
4n building a trestle. The negligence re-
J led on wia that of the engineer superin-
ending the work failing to fasten a guy
/ lope. Appellants were contractor! but
were bound to work under the direc-
tion and control of the company s
engineer. The petition askeu judg-
ment against appellants it they
were independent contractors and the en-
gineer was their servant. Judgment was
also asked against the railroad. Appellants
reside in Galveston and pleaded tneir
privilege to be sued there and tnts plea was
overruled. AppelUe claims that they were
nioperly sned in Dallas, as the cause of ac-
tion was a "trespnis" within the meaning
of article 1198. The alleged wrong consist,
in the negligent omission by defendant s
sorvant to do an act which it was his duty
to do This is not a trespass within the
meaniug of the statute. The word was on y
intended to embrace wrongful acts wilfully
or negligently committed, and not those
which r-suit from a mere omission to do a
duty There whs error in uo$ sustaining
the plea. Tbe case is distinguished from
Hill vs. Kimball (76 Tex. 210).
Appellant also pleaded i.ruitat'on of one
year. The petition was filed within a year
but no citation is»ued until more than a
vear had elapsed. The court holds that the
facts did not excuse the long delay and the
court should have charged the jury to that
effect and not l«ft it to them to say whether
• be delay was unreasonable an . uuexcuseu.
Reverned and remanded. Opinion by
Gaines. J. _
M. E. Breckenridge vs. W. y. Milt.au—
Appeal from Travis: Agreed case. Suit by
appellee on a note and to foreclose a chattel
mortgage given by one Alford. Appellant
intervene1! with a claim for rent due on the
bouse in which the mortgaged property was
situated, and claimed her landlord's lion us
superior The precise question was decided
adversely to appellant in Building associa-
tion vs. Cochran (.00 Tex., 020). Aflirined.
Opinion by Stayton, C. J.
Jos. Johnston f.t ai- vs. M. A. Martin',
Executrix-Appeal from Brown.- Suit bf
appellee on a note and to foreclose a lieu on
iund given by a deed of trust. Appellants
pleaded that the land was their homestead.
The appellant offered to testify that at the
date he executed the deed of trust he ow ned
no homestead except the land in contro-
versy. This w/i8 properly excluded, as it
was merely the conclusion of the witnoss.
He had been permitted lo state the facts.
The fact that at the time of the execution
of deed of trust appellant owned a house in
a town upon land which he held under a
lease where he resided and conducted his
business precluded his acquisition of a
homestead in the country bv th« perform-
ance of acts and with tue intention claimed
by him to have existed. If all the acts
with regard to the land in suit hh well as
the purpose or intention of appellant with
regard to making it his homestead be ad-
mit tod, it still must be held that the house
in town was beyond controversy h'.s home-
stead and exempt. He could cot have two
exemptions at the same time, Allirmei.
Opinion by Henry, J.
QUESTION OF TRANSPOBTION.
A Talk with Mr. Irwin Mahon—-Rail and
Water Competition—The Subsidy Bill.
Hon. Irwin Mahon of Denver, who ads
dressed an audience it Harmony hall Fri-
day evening, is still in the city registered at
the Txemont hotel, where a News reporter
called and had a very interesting talk with
him yeEterday. Mr. Mahon i» a very well
informed man upon general subjects, but
particularly upon commerce and transpor-
tation. The reporter gathered the follow-
ing from Mr. Mahon's conversation. After
quoting various authorities, showing the
importance of the Mississippi river as the
nation's highway, Mr. Mahon said:
That you may better appreciate the com-
mercial importance of the Mississippi and
its tributaries, let roe call your attention to
the fact that in 1880 the twenty-one states,
intersected or bordered by this system in
contrast with those of the entire United
States, furnished 88 per cent of the sugar
94 of the coal, 59 of the corn, 81 of the pig
iron, 76 of the oats, 74 of the wneat, 6S of
the cotton, 66 of tlie tobacco, 60 of the hay,
57 of the forest product, 56 of t.he wool, 82
of the swine, 77 of the mules, 74 o! the
horses and 73 of the cattle. In 1885 the
total product of grain was:
Bushels.
Indian corn 1,T2».91U.000
Oats
"Wheat
Bar.ey
Rye
Buckwheat
Total 2,S2»,781.000
"Estimating the total population of the
United States in trie year 1885 to be 55,000,-
000 of people, this would mean that the sec-
tion of country tapped by the Mississippi
river system produced sufficient grain to
supply forty-live bushels to every living
soul in the United States. This is riot only
something to be proud of but it is some-
thing to think about, something to stimu-
late the American people and force them wo
apnreciate iu a practical manner the 16,090
miles of navigable waterways which con-
stitute the commercial Dart of the Missis-
sippi river system, constructed and pre-
sented to them at no cost, by nature. Why,
in ninety seven years the government has
expended in tbe improvement of this magni-
ficent body of water and Its tributaries
only $51,000,000 to foster aid maintain the
grandest system of cheap transportation in
the world. Let us look for a moment
at the cost of this question of transporta-
tion by water as compared with railroads,
and I do not wish in doing this to detract
from our great railroad interests. They
must also be protected; we need them.
This country would not be where it Is to-
day bad it not been for the enterprise of
our railroads. Statistics tell us that the
government has aided them with lands that
are to-day worth more than $1,000,000,000,
besides giving them in cash $75,000,000 or
$100,000,000 more. To this I am not only
agreed, but if it is necessary to donate them
more in order to develop the country, well
and good, let them have it. We must not
forget that much of the western land tnat
is selling to-day at from $5 up to perhaps
$500 an acre, could not be sold before we
had these roads for 25 cents an acre.
The question of cheap transportation
has during late years assumed great im-
portance, for the reason that it affects in-
ternal snd foreign commerce aud the wel-
fare of both the producer and consumer.
When the r^tes are too high production is
checked. It is not an unnsual thing to hear
of farmers in the west burning their grain
as fuel, claiming that rates are too high for
them to send it to market. Now wo all
know that the object of commercial ex-
change is profit, and t/hen there is no profit
internal commerce suffers. So with foreign
exchanges. If foreign nations can purchase
grain and provisions at cheaper rates else**
where than in the United states, they cer-
tainly will cot hesitate to do it. Tne
competition among commercial people and
nations is such that a trilling overcharge
in rates of transDortation may destroy an
important market. The effect of water
transportation is to furnish the shipper
with cheap rates. It does not destroy the
railroads, It only forces them to lessen the
charges, wbilo the increase of business bv
reason of Uis diminished charges would.

perhaps, give them as great if not greater
profits than that secured by the higher
rates, and at the same time transact the
business of the country with greater dis-
patch. sending all bulky articles by water
and the lighter and more valuable packages
by rail. I can better illustrate my mean-
ing by quoting the following from a weat-
•rn paper in 1879: "The tow boat Josh
Williams is on her way to New Orleans
with a tow of thirty-two barges containing
<x/0.000 bushels (76 pounds to the bushel) of
coal, exclusive of her own fuel, being the
largest tow ever taken to New Orleans, or
anywhere else in tbe world. Her
freight bill at 8 cents a bushel
amounts to $18,000. It would take
1800 cars of 333 bushels to tbe car < which is
an overload for a car) to transport this
amount of coal. At *10 per ton or $100 per
car. which would be a fair price for t tie dis-
tance by rail, the freight bill would amount
to $1*0.000, or $162,000 more by rail than by
river. Tne tow will be taken from P Us burg
to New Orleans in fourteen or fifteen days.
It would require 100 traius of eighteen cars
to tlie train to transport this one tow of
600,000 bushels of coal, aud even if it made
the usual speed of fast freight it would take
oue whole summer to put it through bv
rail. This statement sho .vs the wonderful
superiority of water over rail facilities.
Develop all our waterways and all our rail
roads, abolish the interstate commerce law
and prohibit the pooling system. Compe-
tition is the life of trade, and with it will
come work enough for ail our railroads aud
waterways, a greater production, a happier
and tuore prosperous people, with an out-
let to the markets of the world for all we
can produce."
With reference to subsidy for American
vessels, 1 certaiuly believe in it. The law
on ;be merchant marine in France, whereby
ship builders were paid a subsidy for ves
seis built and owners a mileage allowance
for French owned ships, lapsed some time
ago, but has been renewed for another year.
We all kuow what England has done in
this interest, that her question of subsidy
amounts to millions upon millions of dol-
lars and that it is only since France and
Germany have adopted in a measure her
policy, that they have increased their com*,
mercial traffic in this respect and also iu
i*- h'cting crows to man our new war vessels
this country seems to have lost its Head.
The postal subsidy bill is a step in the
right direction in so far as subsidizing
our vessels go, but in selecting crews, in-
stead of offering reasonable inducements to
American seamen, who can be relied on in
time of war, fnise economy is practiced by
enlisting aliens of all nations, many of
whom it is but reasonable to suppose
would in time of emergency turn their
backs to the stars and stripes, and whether
they would or would not do so the Ameri-
can government should take care to pro-
vide for Americans, native born and
adopted, first, last and all the time. This
the American people should insist upon. I
am inclined to believe that after we have
had the proper amount of experience
few Americans will be found who will
oppose the subsidy question. Why, even
the government of Guatemala has taken
hold of the idea and recently made a con-
tract with the Cosmos Steamship company
for the establishment of a line of steamers
to sail monthly each way between the ports
of Guatemala and Hamburg, Germany.
This company agrees to carry, free of cost,
all employes of the government and to
transport for one-half the ordinary tariff
agreed upon all articles imported for the
use or benefit of the government; also to
carry all immigrants from Europe to Gua-
temala at one-half tbe regular fare. The
steamers are to carry free the mails from
Guatemala aud tne other American repub-
lics on the west coast of South and Central
America to the ports of Europe and
the European mails. In consideration of
this concession the government of Gaute-
mala egress to pay the company a subsidy
of $1000 for every steamer of tlie Cosmos
line calling at its ports, the condition being
that not less than one a mouth shall call
there. The steamers are absolved from ail
toiiuage, anchorage and port dues, and are
to have preference in the way of advantages
for trading and unloading. That our trov-
ernraeat has not moved a moment too soon
Is becoming more evident almost every
hour, aud those who claim that Brazilian
reciprocity will not amount to much should
notice the alarm of English manufacturers.
