The Power of the Railways Against the the Power of the People
Description:
Paper, possibly an editorial, advocating new legislation to protect the citizens of Texas from the greed of national railway companies.

It includes quotes from Governor T. M. Campbell to Edward P. Ripley, the president of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company.
