A Change Desired.

Who should be our next state senator from

best talent IN our district, ana the question
naturally ariscS, who il our best man. John
ii. Stephens OF our town would make an able
aud trusty senator, aud If he could be in
duced To make the race we are satisfied he
would carry the district ~ al Overwhelming
minority. What say you, Clay, Wichita ana

The above is somewhat peculiar. Is
the senatorship of this district to be-
come a perpetuitv in the firm Of
Stephens Il Matlock? Montague was
allowed the senator at the last election
and it is nothing but right that the Of.
flee should be given at this election to
some other portion of the district.
The editor of the Northwest is either
ignorant of the counties comprising
this district or thinks that Young,
Baylor, Throckmorton, Archer, Vince
Ter, Donley, Oldham and the unorgan-
lied counties have no say at the next
election. The newspapers of Wilbar-
ger and Wichita counties have already
expressed themselves as favoring Tenn
pie Houston, who can sweep this dis
tr.ct and especially against Matlock or
any of his minions.

ON WITH THE SANTA FE.
One Of Fort Worth's Spikes Reaching
Out for More Railroad Territory.
The Santa Fe Directors Order an Exten-
sion Of Two Hundred Miles.
Houston post.I


A meeting of the directors of the
Gulf. Colorado d Santa Fe Railway
company was recently held at their
Office in Galveston, when il was fully
determined to raise the money neces-
sary to construct 200 miles of new road.
The president, Col. John Sealy, and
executive committee have the fiuan-
cial arrangements fully in hand. They
VIII sell about S2.000,00 first mort
gage and S1,000,000 second mortgage
bonds of the company, the stock
holders having first privilege
Of purchasing, taking first mort
gage at par and interest, and second at
DO cents and interest. Only the stock
holders are allowed To- Subscribe at
these prices, and they must take them
at the pro rata of two of the first aud
one of the second. Ofcourse the bonds
will be taken fast enough by the
plucky Galveston syndicate, and no
odds asked of Wall street, where the
first mortgage are to-day worth prob.
ably Sl.l3 to Sill. So much for a
Texas railway honestly built and hon
estly managed.
The Santa Fe management mean
earnest work. and require the stock.
holders to send in their subscriptions
by the 9th day Of next month, and in
case any are indisposed or unable to
pony up their subscriptions, the other
subscribing stockholders are allowed
to increase their holdings until the en-
tire amount of bonds are taken. These
allotments are all ON u fair and sound
basis of business transactions, and il
all the railway enterprises in this
great American country were built
and conducted on their real merits, as
is the Texas Santa Fe, we should have
very few such panicky days as befell
New York city last week. But of
course there would be no opportunity
for constructing Crazy quilts or
"blind" pools, by which the innocent
lambs might be fleeced.
Labor and railroad material are now
very low and the present is a splendid
opportunity for the Santa Fe; and it is
fortunate for the people of Texas that
the progressive management of this
company have the sagacity to see their
opportunity The movement coming
on the very heels of the dull summer
season and so soon after the recent
tumbling in Wall street, will serve TO
show Eastern people that there is am
pie backing, business ability, conf
dence and resources down here in the
Great Southwest. even if the bottom
does fail out up North.
OF the 200 miles of new road to be
constructed, the line from Dallas to
Paris, Tex, will no doubt constitute {,
part. And the line from Montgome ry,
east into the pineries, will probably
also come in for extension, while the
main stem may be pushed from Lam
pasas up 10 BrownwoOd, etc.
Concerning these points, however,
the Post does not undertake to speak
by authority, but of the extensions to
the amount of 200 miles or more your
readers can rely, and the Santa Fe peo-
pie don't allow the grass TO grow under
their feet either, when they once de-
eide to do u proper thing.

wba. Arc You Going to Do About 1t2

What Are You Going to DO About LUZ
The Statesman wakes eloquent and
earnest on the subject of "Party Pro
prietorship"-in Texas; glorious Texas,
one and indivisible. In graphic Ian
guage 1t sketches the tendency of the
Democratic policy for the past eleven
years, winding up with these SEN
fences:
THIS is carrying party proprietorship too
far In the matter OF the state udministra-
ton IL Is the same. First, Coke owned the
party, then Roberts, now Ireland. Tho latter
is TO he retained, and yet IL would puzzle his
most devoted, enthusiastic admirer To assign
better cause for his retention than usage
party usage. The proprietor has right TO do
what lie pleases with his own. The thing has
continued until the people are on the verge of
administering a lesson TO the party propric-
tors which they will not soon forget, or very
greatly relish.
This is sad, very sad, but in the lam
guage of New York city's dead boss:
What are you going to do about it 81
How are the people going to have an
opportunity of administering a lesson?
The Statesman is the chief and almost
the only defender of the very system
that contributes to sitting the free eX-
preston and exercise of the popular
will-the two-thirds rule. 1t is sys-
tenn that was devised by bosses to keep
bossism in power. 1t is not valuable
for anything else, as the Statesman in
its heart of hearts knows. Again we
ask, what are you going to do about
it? Send out your star-eyed goddess of
reform to break the spell of party pro-
prietorship,and see what sort of showing
she will have in u nominating conven-
ton where the two-thirds rule prevails.
1t is resource of the "ins,n and if
they cannot use it to the advantage OF
the one man they will with it dictate
the selection of the other, and thus
party proprietorship is kept within
the limits of charmed circle.
