TnE Houston and Texas Central rail-
road has passed into the hands of re-
ceiver which leads the Waco Day to
remark: Another Of the gigantic cor
porations of Texas has practically de-
monstrated how much truth there Is In
the charge made by little politicians
that they are sucking the life blood out
Of the people. The Houston and Texas
Central railway was the pioneer road OF
Texas. 1t penetrated the heart of the
State when 1t was almost a wilderness,
and after the war pushed on to north
ern connection which gave an impetus
to our wealth and progress which at
once brought Texas to the front as
the empire State Of the South. This
road has done tenfcd more for the peo-
pie than ii has done for itself. 1t has
been moderately prosperous, but has
been far outstripped by the prosperity
and progress of the towns and counties
through which it runs. The road de-
faulted on its January interest, and
news came yesterday that it had passed
into the hands OF n receiver. How far
the foolish and unfriendly legislation on
our statute and books Is responsible for
this result, we do not know, but 1t may
be taken for granted that whatever re-
striotons are imposed haye operated
more or less injuriously to Its interests.
