10 have tie TEXAS PAslh,, running through

Has. to West, Puiiias "a. In communication

bear nsw 10 notice ether imPsTisni roads,
eoAisDplaisi or being built in different
Directions, The prospect is Frightening
and 10 sirssdy bright one for the people
Of fsias, Hut here We have something to
say with regard TO the conduct Of railroad
companies aud With regard 10 the trade 81
our own Immediate ses,isn. We expect
Railroad corporations, Ike individuals, to
look mainly 10 their swh especial inter
ssls, The msnsy Of the stockholders goe,
10 build the roads aud IL Ia natural that
they should Htst AgoOi return for their
Investments. All right. but the people
Of any particular seeiios have also the
right to look sker their sp eisI Interests.
Now with the junction Of the Central and
the N. X. 7. Road, our people will have
. choice Of markets and Of travel either
North or South. IL win not be a strange
thing for them 10 select the cheapest and
best. lflhey eau 10 better Al St. Louis or
Chicago than at Houston or Galveston,
they will go there. No railroad eomblns.
tions eau prevent this. hut We trust thi,
will not be so. We confess to large
amount OF State pride and We are anxious
TO see our own cities built up aud prosper.
, Ing. We desire, IL possible, to retain the
profits Of trade within our own limits. II
the Central Railroad and the merchants Q
liousisn and Galveston will nc, with suiIi
! Client liberaiiy sad energy, We think thi.
can be done. We had rather see the PEG.
, pie OF Northern Texas trailing with these
y cities and contributing to their growth and
/ we'll being than trading with 81. Louis
but they will have choice, and they viii
r have the right TO exercise il. It cannot b,
E expected that they will make all the sacri
E fees TO secure the desired result. These
= must be mutual and not ,ne sided. Their,
4 isanoiher thing which VIC wish TO say jus
/, here in connection with this matter. Our
' people do not intend to be confined to ~
outlet, North or South. They want q com
d. munication East and West, also, and they
intend to have it. They will not stsne
. any unwarrantable interference or com
Q bination to prevent this. We heard gen
tleman remark tho other day that the Tex
- as Pacific, with all the encouragement
: which the State has given it, would not b.
e built-that Tom Scott would prevent it,
! Undoubtedly this Railroad King, by BIZ
9 comb nations and influence, is a powerful
a Sovereign, but it is possible that be nigh
d not succeed in this little undertaking.
e the South, after SO long a delay Of justic,
y in route to tho Pacific, is now to be cheat
s cd out of it by Railroad combinations o
s Tom Scott, the public ough. to know it,
a We may not, in Northern Texas, he able t,
D. reach 30 great a potcntate "a the Pennsy |
8 vana King, but Ne can reach the Railroad
in Texas, that attempts, in connection
!, with him. to prevent the building Of tn
= Texas Pacific Railroad. A word 10 thu
e wise is sufficient.
