LET DALLAS CAPITAL ANSWER

In urging our capitalists and business
men to take hold of the building of a
line Of railway direct from Dallas to the
northwest Of the state, two controlling
arguments have prevailed with the
HERALD. In tho 6rst place, has been
the undoubted utility and promise OF
the line to this city, and secondly, its
promise as an investment to the gentle.
men who will construct 1t. The HERALD
wants not only to see the line ballt, but,
If possible, by Dallas capital. If it is TO
prove of full value IL must be- controlled
by those Interested primarily in tho
growth of this city. Passenger and
freight rates must be so adjusted as to
attract visitors and trade, and possibili-
ties of pools and deals with other roads
be removed. Otherwise tho manage.
ment, or tho management of roads
might in very obvious ways
really use the line for
some other point while ostensibly run
ming 1t as a Dallas enterprise. To opvi.
ate such contingencies 1t must be under
the control of gontlomen directly and
permanently involved financially in
the expansion and welfare of Dallas.
But secondly we desire to SEQ Dallas
capital back tho road because It will
largely enrich those, in the enterprise
and whose continued prosperity overy
good citizen cannot but desire TO see.
knowing that the increase of individual
wealth will but increase and strengthen
the wealth of tho city in the aggregate.
In this connection an item photographed
the HERALD from Wichita Falls day
orso since is OF interest aud signih-
canoe. In referring 10 the extension of
the Fort Worth & Denver further into
the Panhandle and tho consequent and
accompanying march of empire west.

this significant statement: "There

here last night and two to-day. There
Is perfect stream Of title passing here
now, and this road is taxed to its full
capacity" Here is Fort Worth road
pushing westward, steadily laying new
territory tributary both to itself and its
city aud its owners and management

day by day, because. tho line is "taxed
to its iull capacityw
Why cannot Dallas capital learn a
profitable lesson from this exampleY
Why cannot our moneyed men grow
daily richer and richer by a similar in-
vestment' Why cannot Dallas hands
bring the wealth OF our northwest to
Dallas doors and reap the merited and
rewardsf These are questions
suggested by the report OF this heavy
business over the Fort Worth & Denver

las capitalists to answer.

The items of news in yesterday |
HERALD, the one referring to the action
OF the Suez canal convention and the J
other to the formation of fuller treaty
between this country and the United
States OF Colombia, relative to the con-
troll OF the isthmus of Panama transit,
suggests the question that Is likely to
giya us more trouble than any other,
on of these days, when the French fin
i''h their ditch from Aspinwall to Pan
anna. It is reported that Germany, Aus
tria and Russia insist upon interna-
tional control of the Suez canal, while
Italy and England oppose. France and
Turkey will join the Germans, Rus
slams and Others In behalf of an inter
national control, unless they can, with
England, have an equal say SO in tri-
partite management. 1t may be safely
predicted th9t Europe will assume
control of the Suez isthmus in
the face Of the protest Of Eng
land. The great powers are be
ceming constantly more jealous
OK each other. They will not submit to
the acquisition OF such power as the
control of an international highway by
any one ofthem.
On the other hand tho United States
of America insists upon an absolute,
or virtually absolute control, certainly
to the exclusion OF a participation OF
management by any European power,
of tho transit across Panama. But
France is putting up the money to cut
the ditch and is not likely to turn il

international control at Suez Backed
by an international decree Of the great
powers of Europe, France will insist
upon ticking hand at Panama, and
then the United States can back down

IL is estimated confidently that DE
LEssEPs will cut through the Ameri.
can isthmus by 1888 and when the work
is completed he will demand the pres

what can she do to prevent the occu-
patton of the isthmus by Francep She

can Eavy could be built to cope with
France. the latter would hold Panama,
impregnably fortified, and backed by
Europe. And then the United States
meyer could dislodge her.
This is what this canal conference
now means among its possibilities and it
is live question for American diplo-
macy to handle and settle promptly and
