RAIL CIVILIZATION.

1t is pleasant contrast which one
may draw between the Texas of to-
day and the Texas one found here
before the advent of the railroads. Of
course the whole of this wonderful
advance is not to be credited to this
influence alone. and yet no intelligent
observer of Texas progress will refuse
to put the roads in the first rank.
Aside from the greater facilities they
furnish for the complete ingress of
new people, the moving abouS pos
sible under the later order, brings our
own people together, and the tritura-
ton has had a healthful effect upon
the general mass. The old ox-cart day
with its trappings and general discom-
fort haspassed away forever. We are
aligned on the new order, and our
modes of life, living, business and So
cial existence have all changed. A
wonderful stride ahead has, been made.
The rythm of the new hymn of pro-
gress is sweetest melody in the ears of
an intelligent, proud, state-loving peo-
pie. 1t is something for the railroads
that they can be justly credited with
having exerted leading influence in
producing this vast REVOLUTION in bus
mess and social modes.
There is veteran disposition among
the people to rail out at the big
corporations without taking into
consideration the vast utility they
present. Texas can afford to be
just, if not generous to the
railroads. She has been both in the
past, and she can well afford to keep
up the policy for the future. She win |
protect, and foster all the legitimate |
interests, as well as protect the rights
of the roads, and will never submit |
to imposition or injustice at their
hands. 1t is a mutual advantage.
we offer them vast business at a
and safe margin; we give
them the needed protection and fair
and honest treatment, and they bring
INTO us all the better adjuncts of an
advanced civilization. 1t is an equit-
lble arrangement. Let it continue.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-03-20
THE CATTLEMEN.

The north west cattlemen's conven-
ton lately in session in Dallas, was a
wise body of far-seeing, clear-headed
and wary business men. Retaining
from any distempered expression re-
garding the action of the land board
in advancing the minimum price of
leased grazing lands, but at the same
time expressing themselves strongly
against the policy of leasing at the
price fixed, places them in a strong
and dignified attitude before the peo-
Pile of the state. They make no par
ticular threat about pulling up and
leaving, but the suppressed feeling
observable in all they have done
indicates plainly that they are body
of men who will submit to no Unjust
ice whatever. If Texas places bur-
dens upon their shoulders too onerous
to bear, they will quietly pull up and
go to some other grazing country
where the government is wise enough
to foster an interest which is so i'm
portant factor in the daily economy
of the commonwealth. They do not
claim the full use of the lands of the
state. They are willing to pay fair
price, but do not mean to submit to
imposition, In this way all the indi-
cations point to the policy of revers-
ing an action which viii ultimately
drive this source of revenue away,
and thus build up rival state or ter
ritory, while it tears down Texas.
The policy of getting four cents
rather than nothing cannot be caviled
at, and it seems to US now to be only
necessary to determine if the cattle
men are in earnest in the purpose to
move their herds to New Mexico, Col
orado, Wyoming, Arizona aud other
western grazing territories in cense-
quence of the advance of the lease
price or not. If they are, action ought
to be reversed promptly. In any
event it should be done, because it is
unjust and unreasonable, but in the
light of the near danger of ioosiAg
this important branch of the states |
industry it is imperative. The exodus
viii not occur in a day, but if they |
are In earnest the preparations viii
begin very promptly and repentance

ducing state of the union? Is she
prepared to part with the comfortably
sum which is paid annually into her
treasury by the cattlemen of the state?
These are questions which obtrude
themselves at this time and upon the
answers they will elicit depends, or
should depend, the policy of the gov
eminent. Left to a man of ordinary
intelligence and with only reason
ably patriotic instincts, there could
be and would be but one answer
to the proposition. We are of those
who believe in stripping technicalities
from the science of government, OF
rather the schemes of factions and
rivalries of aspirants for the future
favor of the people. This is what it
is which induced the policy in the first
instance, and it is the cast Of the boom
erang which will surely return and
wound the ineXpert thrower.
Texas is great state, and her polit-
ical policies should be broad, liberal
and comprehensive. This advance in
the lease price is off the same piece
which furnishes the policy to the mer
chant, who, when he finds he has al
the sugar in town for certain day
puts the price up one cent. 1t is en-
tirelv unworthy of Texas.

AS AN ENGINE.

The dreadful occurrence of fence
cutting in Texas has been, and is still
used as political engine to drag one
set of men down and to build another
up. So long as this condition pre-
walls, so long will the evil remain
unabated, or increasing. 1t is pity
that it is so. 1t is grave pity that
all political cliques, rings and infiu-
ences do not cordially unite to put
down an evil threatening alike to
social order and the property values of
the state, no less than the best indi-
vidual interests of all the MEM
bers of all political parties, their
rings, cliques and subdivisions of every
kind and description Political parties
