Mr.. Wise offered the following resolution
Rtsolted, That we respectfully reques
Council to Withhold the granting Of
any rights Of way over The city's propertv ta
any and all railroad companies until the com
nittce shall come TO some conclusion regard
Ing the marginal road.
Mr.. Wise explained that he suggested thi.
course OF action because he understood the
p, ". Il Ky. railroad would ask Council tc
grant them the right OF way for an I'D
ditional switch twenty-five feet west of thei,
freight depot, which would occupy all the &C.
cessible room between the river edge and the
depot
Nj. Kimberly said lie bad heard tbs same
report, and he had also heard on the street
the charge that the object OF the Company
In constructing the switch was 10 shut oul

posed to resent any such charge or insinua.
ton. He believed that the switch would be q
real necessity to the company as soon as their
line below the creek Is completed, Us the
terms OF the ordinance by which they acouir.
ed the right OF way for the extension co,npel
them to cease all switching and handling oil
cars on the tracks now used as soon as the
extension is completed, und they would
therefore have TO have SOME additional room
for those purposes.
Other members Of the committee, as we'll
as Mr. Wise, dsclaimed any intention to
make any insinuation ~ to the Pittsburgh
Wheeling 4 kentucky's intentions, but they
thought 1t was not unreasonable to ask Coun.
Gil to defer action on that coinpapy's appli.
cation until the investigations OF this com.
nlittee were completed, and their final report
made. The resolution was finally adopted.
SOME COMFORTING ASSURANCES, liz.
Mr.. Peterson said he had received letters
from the officials of the South Pennsylvania
road, in which were assuf ances that the com.
pany was more DESTROYS Of coming here than
they ever were before They are now taking
steps to complete the surveys and estimates
OF the route in this county, which looks as II
they meant business.
Mr., Hall said he had also seen u letter
from one OF the leading officials OF the South
Pennsylvania road, giving the ASSURANCE that
they desired to come 10 Wheeling, and in.
tended to do so If they could have access to
the shipping points In the city. On this
point the assurance was given by another
gentleman present that the road would have
ND difficulty In securing ct least one.third OF
the freight ira Tic OF the city. lie had talked
TO numerous large shippers, and many OF
them said they would enter into au agree.
mentto give the road large portion Of their
transportation business. The shortness OF
the route to the coke region would give the
new road practically monopoly of that kind
of traffic. - w.

with windy assertions that northwest Texas
IS not suited for agricul ural purposes.
They claim that the soil and the climate
fit 1t only for pastural uses This is the
merest bosh, as everybody who knows any
thing OF the climatic history of our country
will attest. The wish is father to the
thought" ON the part of these stock
journals. That is to say, it is their
earnest , 4eslre TO make people
thereto by Selt-interest. We would not, if
we could, say aught against the stock in
terest OF Texas. 1t is vast, it is exceeding
rich, but the days of the long-horn steer
and countless herds on unbroken prairie
reaches are well nigh ended. But it is not
our purpose here to discuss this phase of
the question. We desire only to show the
folly OF these long-horn papers in presuming
that mankind in general and those of Texas
III particular can be hoodwinked, misled on
consigned by their sophistry in asserting
ana with carneStness maintaining that
northwest Texas is unfit for agriculture
they say it IS too dry. lisa meteorological
TACT that the settlement of any coun-
try, even the most arid, makes it
seasonable, causes the rain to fall and the
dews to form. 1t has been but few years
since the country around San Antonio, to
the north, south, west and Immediately
east of it, was dry, unreasonable and utterly
incapable of the production of any farm
product. save by irrigation, Now that
| country is as we'll adapted to the husband
mans efforts as any portion of Texas. The
broad pralrles have grown up in mes
! quite timber; thousands of peo-
pie have settled all over it,,
and railroads are permeating it in all direc-
tions. XII these agencies bring rain and
bring seasons. So is it with northwest
Texas, the section decried by these inter-
ested stock journals The Texas q Pacific
and the Texas Central roads have and are
stretching their iron lengths through its ex-
tent Settlers are pouring IN, andwhereyer
in its midst the soil has been broken and
seed planted, it has given generous return.

CONGRESSMAN CARLISLE, of Kentucky,
who is recognized MS one ofthe abest cham
plons OF areyenue tariff, says that he should
Ike to see general reduction both of in
ternal reJenue taxes and customs duties,
equalizing as nearly as possible both, and
thereby approaching much nearer what he
terms a true revenue basis"
Mr.. Carlisle said; "The trouble with our
people is that they lack organization. The
people whom we must reach are the agri-
cultural communities and those who live in
villages, towns and small cities where there
are no extensive manufactures.
"lhe protectlOnists are organized. The
manufacturers are banded together and the
men who work for them are united in
trades unions and labor leagues. whose
influence is eXerted in the same direction
rs that OF the manufacturers. They
dwell for the most part in large
cities, where daily newspapers
are published and the facilities for discrimi-
mating protective theories are ample. We
propose before this house adiourns to have
very exhaustive discussion Of the tariff,
and Will attempt to arouse our people to a
realization of the true meaning of the is
sues which divide the parties Our speeches
and pamphlets containing information in
support OF The tariff for revenue principle
Will be scattered broadcast through the
country, and it is hoped our friends will be
made alive to the importance of the subject
before the next presidential election"

SINCE the treasury department at Wash
lngton has decided not to receive in future
silver Of any denomination that is in the
slightest degree defaced or mutilated, the
greatest caution is now exercised by the va.
rlous sub-treasuries in redeeming either
standard dollars or fractional cur
rency. The sub treasury at Bal
timore had no less than $40 Of this kind of
money returned last week. OF course, the
clerk who received the money will be com
PEELED to replace this with other money.
And here the great injustice of the govern
ment is made apparent; for, while il will
not receive the money it has issued, and
upon which it has placed n fictitious value,
the public is expected to get rid of it as best
II can, or else sell it to the government at
ITS value as bullion. As q dollar in irac.
tional currency contains no more than
about 3So grains, the real value of which is
about 10 cents, and the standard dollar with
its ~ grainsis worth only 50 cents, the loss TO
the holder and the profit to the government
can be readily seen. In accordance with
the decision of the department, an acci-
dental scratch with pin across a sill.
yer dollar reduces its value from 81 to IS
cents.

LAND KPECULATE3N.

EDS. ENTERPRIsE:-I was con-
sidcrably interested lately reading
an article in the Seattle Daily
Chronicle, cautioning people against
engaging in speculation, on account
Of future railroad operations down
Sound. .The caution may DO timely
as regards future transactions, but
l have heard Of no fancy, or gilt
edge prices, being paid for property
down this way, for such purpose.
Tho Chronicle thinks, or admits,
that . railroad will be built down
the east shore of the Sound, but
says that those who invest with the
expectation of realizing inside of
from one to three years, will very
likely be disappointed, and instances
the long time Seattle has waited for
railroad connection with the OUT
side world in support of the
Idea. The Chronicle should re-
alizo that cold things have
passed away, and all things become
new" and that startling events are
liable to take place on tho Sound
during the next two or three years.
1t struck me, too, that three years
would not be long to wait, with the
prospect Of big boom when the
road was built, and the certainty OF
largo and steady increase from
that timc on. At least I should
consider it far safer than investing
in places where the prices are away
up beyond gilt edge, with the pros>
pect of standstill or backset when
the railroad was commenced down
the Sound. l believe the railroad
people themselves are tho principal
purchasers of real estate down this
way. 1t is generally supposed that
such men arc shrewd, and likely to
know what is going to happen
possibly they may be fooling thcm>
selves though. Be careful, gcntlo-
mon, you too may get cinchcd-
