The G.. @. & S. Els Extension.

Those who imagined that the Gulf,
Colorado Il Santa I'e railroad would
be content with the territory il is now
occupying-that it shrank from holder
and more comprehensive policies
see how wide they were off the mark.
The road was simply maturing its
plans, garnering its resources and bid
ing its time. Congress is in session
and 1t will go before that body with n
bill that contemplates 4 grand forward
movement, from Fort Worth through
the Indian Territory to connection
with the Frisco road, which, once at
tanned, makes it absolutely indepen-
dent of the Gould system. To the
people of Texas this move is one of
great interest and Importance. AT
present there are three trunk lines,
two standard and one narrow-gauge,
from Texas to st. Louis and the great
West generally. But the two broad
gauge routes are controlled by the
same influence. A third and indepen-
dent broad .gauge line is n neces-
sity, and this will be furnished by the
G., c. IL S. +. extension. Senator
Coke, IL is understood, will introduce
the bill, and it is to be hoped that the
efforts of the Texas delegation will en-
able it to command sufficient influence
to run the gauntlet in both houses.
The road is only awaiting congress
sional sanction. When that is assured,
forward will he the word. We all re-
member how rapidly the Santa Fe
pushed its construction in Texas. Its
proposed route runs through n country
perhaps us favorable, all things consid-
cred, for railroad building, rs that por-
ton of Texas it traverses. Ii congress
can be induced to take early and IA
vorable action upon its application
| there Is no reason To doubt that it will
effect the proposed connection by the
Christmas of 1881. To Fort worth the
movements one OF great importance
and value, but we prefer to consider il
from Il broader standpoint than mere
local one. 1t is n step full of promise
for other cities and sections than Fort
Worth. 1t is gratifying to believe
that congress will not be found UNI
friendly to the enterprise.

MR.. REAGAN is on top again. Had
Randall become speaker Mr. Reagan
might have whistled for all the show
ing he would have got in the house,
either on committees or on the floor.
In the very nature of things he could
not have expected the least favor from
the Pennsylvania. But with Car
Isle welding the gavel there is a
showing for Reagan and it is pretty
certain that he will have the chair
manship of an important committee.
And neither will he have to rise, day
after day, in vain endeavors to catch
the eyeand recognition of the speaker.
If any man has reason TO bless bis
lucky stars that Carlisle is speaker,
that man is Mr.. Reagan.

TEXAS starts out very well in this
congress. A Texan is the door-keeper
of the house of representatives, hap
by augury, let us hope, for the Texas
measures that must get into the house
and find favor there before they can
read their title clear to success. And
Texas will want good slice from this
congress. Galveston will be on hand
with her plea for a million or two of
money to get deep water; San Antonio
and Waco want federal buildings; the
Gulf. Colorado {; Santa Fc railroad
wants the right of way through the
Indian Territory. All these measures,
we trust, will win favor in the house.

THE PAST YEAR.

The past year has been an eventful
year. 1t has seen the beginning and
end of war in Egypt, and a conse-
quent nearing of the solution of the
great Eastern problem. It has wit
messed the temporary overthrow of
Gambetta in France, and the inaug-
UratiOn of a new electoral system in
Italy. In our own country we have
seen an overwhelming defeat of the
once powerful Republican party.
There have been vital changes also in
business matters. For the first time
in half century the food and cotton
crops have been abundant in every ma
ton under the sun. The world to-day
is more prosperous than at any pre-
vious period, and the tOiling millions
will, in consequence, be better fed and
clothed than at any time in the annals
of recorded history. But strangely
enough, the first effort of this super
abundance of food has been to cause
depression in business circles. the rea-
son for which, it is explained, is be-
cause cheap food finally involves
cheaper production. And hence those
who carried stocks of goods manufac-
tured in high-price times are forced to
sell at a loss. But eventually the
cheapness of products will increase
the consumption, which fact will be a
new stimulOus to trade.-FrODl Dem
