On our local page this morning Is
presented an article from the pen OF
Rey. B. A. Rogers, rector of ST..
PauPs church, in this city, respecting
the authenticity of December p as
the natal day of Jesus of Nazareth
give space TO the communica ton
because ii is well written and makes
some interesting points. Moreover,
its statements or assumptions may be
absolutely correct. We are entirely
willing TO believe they are, although,
to be perfectly frank, we do not place
implicit faith in the authorities quo
ted by Mr.. Rogers. There is no occa-
sion for discussion, however, aud we
can only repeat one passage from our
article of Sunday morning, which aE-
pears to have called forth Mr.. Rogers
criticism. We said the tradition of
christmas, whether worthy of i'm
''plicit credence or not, is still ten
'derly beautiful one, and has certainly
exercised an influence on the world,
"or what is termed the Christian
portion thereof.that is, eminently
"happy and Interesting in its work
"ings and results" We fancy that
Mr.. Rogers orthodoxy, while more
explicit, Is hardly more comprehensive
and practical than the EXAMINER's

qualli'lng his wife with what lie had done,
sue refused to have it administered TO the
chlii' as she was strongly in favor of no

suffering, and the parents without sleep.
Refurnlng home the day following. the
father found the baby still worse; and
while contemplating anoth'r sletpless

the little fellow awokc in the morning

lighted with the sudden and wonderful
change, and although at first otftned at
the deception practiced upon her, has con-
tinued to use the Syrup, and suffering cry

peared. A single trial of the Syrup never

There exists, in Philadelphia, an or
ganization known as the :'Indian
TreatY-Keeping Association" Mrs
Amelia S. QuintoH, secretary. The
EXAMINER received yesterday q cir
cular from the association, setting
forth the objects of the body, which
are, in brief, that all existing treaties
with the Indians be observed, and
that Indians be treated as though they
were human beings and not brutes.
The EXAMINER has always favored
such a policy, especially with refer
ence to the tribes domiciled Just north
of Texas. Oklahoma Payne is
up there now, irving to COB
bic up lands to which he has
no earthly right. We trust the ssso-
citation may be able to accomplish
some good, but feel it is..a difficult task
they have undertaken. The lands in
the Indian territory are rich and fer
tile; the country is one of the fairest
spots on the globe, and the white men
want it. But persevcre, Mrs. Quin-
.on-ding-dong President Arthur and
congress to stand by the treaties and
naYhap you will succeed.

Total miles built this year.

Here are more than eleven hundred
miles of road. II 1882 the tax assess
ors Will list this property for taxa
ton. At the minimum rendering of
$4,000 per mile 1t amounts to full
81, 100000. The equipments will
foot up 100000 more. Here are
Sl3 100000 added to the taxable val
ues of the state, within one year,
from tins single Gould system.
Railroad extension will make
the tax rolls of McLennan county a
million dollars larger in 1882 than
they were in 1881. If we take all the
railroad construction in the state
during the year it will be found that
at least $4,000, 900 has been added to
the taxable values of Texas. This is
but single item. We pass by the
millions of dollars paid out IN the
construction OF all these roads; the !
thousands OF men who have found
and the millions of dol |
lars set atloat in the state, circulating
here and there, little getting into
everybody's hands. We have laid
no stress on the improved IA
cilities for travel aud trans
portation; the new sections OF
country opened up; the towns that
have sprung into existence; the
diversified enterprises-eommercial,
industrial and agricultural-born OF
railroad progress. Were these
properly considered we make no doubt
the fact would be apparent that rail
roads, during this year OF grace 1881,
have made Texas fifty millions OF
dollars richer. People, wnen they are
moved to cavil and carp at railroad
operations and progress, should not
dismiss the subject without investi-
eating and considering both sides OF
the question. In our opinion railroads
have been the chief instrumentality
in making Texas what she is.

TWO, SIDES TO THE QUES-
TTDN

The public is treated to great many
warnings about the pernicious ten
denotes of railroad growth and pro-
gress in this country. Eyer and anon
some Jealous orator, in legislative hall
or on the stump, fills the hearts of
his.hearers with apprehensIons dire by
picturing the road as the coming
curse of the land. Here and there
newspaper may be found that deals in
the same kind of argument and finds
fast believers among its readers. Itis
quite true that railroad corporations
are not philanthropic institutions, as
the average man construes philanthro-
py. 1t is equally true that the
roads show fewer favors than they are
ready to ask; and we bear in mind
that railroad monopoly can make
its power felt by the dwellers along
its line just a little bit keener than
anything else we wot of, unless it be
death and the tax-gatherer. But
there are generally two sides to every
question and railroads present some
good features that impel the thought
full man to mental reservations as he
hears the orator or the newspaper ex-
patlating on the grinding, growing
burden of the railroads." We have
just been looking over railway
publication that presents, among a
mass OF other statistical facts, some
information about the operations of
the Gould system OF roads here in
our own state during the year now
nearly ended. We find that during
this year the Gould people haye built
and put i'll operation miles of road as
follows.

The Marlin Index. discussing recent

newspaper changes in Waco, says:
The consolidation of the EXAMINER
and The Telephone is a matter in
which central Texas is deeply inter
ested. Out of two good papers we
may confidently expect TO get one OF
the best papers in the south. The
paper now has an unlimited capital,
and as good talent as there is in the
state. 1t Is understood that the pres
ent management is organizing corps
of reporters and correspondents tha.
will embrace not only the state but,
the whole country. The Index wishes
that success may greet the EXAMINER
on every turn. Central Texas needs
just such paper as is expected.
The management of the EXAMINER
hope to realize every reasonable ex-
pectation OF their friends and the pub
ic generally.
