MARSHALL is showing genuine 'git-
up-and-git' in pushing her North
western railroad. There is now no
doubt of its early completion to the Red
river region, and Gilmer, P.ttsburg and
Greenville are strong rivals for securing
It's route through their respective locali-
ties, and are Offering eilt.edge induce.
ments. Like al other such enterprises
In north or east Texas, its promoters are
anxious for some substantial identity
with Dallas, as will be seen by
the following from the Marshall Herald.
"the road will find the route through
Gilmer and Quitman to Greenville
equally as short and less expensive than
the route TO Paris. Then, with the
Central from Terrell via Greonville TO
Paris, and the Santa Fe from Dallas to
Greenville, all Of which connections are
probable, Wouldn't Groenville loom up?
Greenville has another chance. If it
gets the Texas Central branch 1t will
certainly get the Frisco from Paris, or
WV NohiM Wih Dullu w IATlSs inlh
would give the same connection that
tho Northwestern would have at Paris,
only not in as direct line" 1t seems
the Dallas people alone are the only
ones who are apparently blind TO the
fact that this city should be up and
doing on the question of more railroads.
A territory naturally tributary to this
city from the northeast, and whose
people are anxious TO trade exclusively
with Dallas merchants, IL being thor
oughly explored and menaced by rivals,
aud the result will DO that If this in
activity of Dallas continues much val
liable trade will ultimately be diverted
elsewhere.

Hope for Constantine.

A New York special to the Commercial
Gazette, of Monday, re-opens the case for e1-
Mayor Constanstine in the natter OF the As.
sistsnt Postmaster Generalship appointment,
as follows:
1t is reported here on good Democratic au-
thority that First Assistant General Hay will
soon resign, owing to ill health, snd that ex-
Mayor Constantine, OF Springfield, O., will
PROBABLY be his successor. Whatever truth
ther- may be in the story it has the air of
plausbility. The facts about Hay's appoint-
ment, as told from the inside. are that the
Payne-McLeau-Scott-R Randall -Ti!den crowd
had made dead set for Constantine. The
Pennsylvania delegation, except Randall and
Scott, had been manipulated by ex-senator
". A. Wallace to indorse eI-Congressman
Mutchler, of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Villas was fa-
vorable to ex-Congressmsn Stephenson, Of H.
linois, but willing to oblige tbs Payne-Mc-
Lean faction. Whitney wanted e1-Congress-
man Smith, of New York. Scott was deter
mined that Wallace's man should not got the
place, and made hard fight for Constantine.
Mclean and the Paynes got tired out and
went away.
The President finally indicated that he
thought there was too much politics in the
proposition to appoint Constantine, but that
he thought Pennsylvania should have the
|. place. In sheer desperation Scott named
Hay az good man, without consulting Ran.

The Service at Clifton Avenue.

The service at Clifton Avenue Freewill
Baptist Church yesterday proved to be of
unusual interest, as was Anticipated. The
house was well filled and the congregation
were treated to an excellent sermon on "The
condition OF the Christian life" It was q
well-tined discourse for the occasion, cal
culated to excite to . more careful examina-
ton of the fundamental truths upon which
Christian character rests and to arouse feel.
ings of devotion in the hearts of the hearers.
After the sermon, seventeen persons were re-
ceived to membership, the majority of them
by letter. The hand Of fellowship was given
by the pastor, and then followed a cordial
greeting by the congregation. Among those
received was the convert OF brief experience,
and the veteran Christian, who has devoted
nearly halt century to the service of God.
The group were made up Of sslid and influ-
ential citizens OF our county, and of the city.
There are still others who are expected to
unite with this church soon. The pastor and
congregation naturally feel greatly rejoiced
and encouraged at this filling up of their
ranks.
May the good work 60 on.
