How rhey can HeIr Us.

FOIir WORTH, TEN, Oct u, ls55
10 thc Editor Of the Gazette
DEAR SIR; After spending the summer
in Texas and going home and returning
again, have studied the subject OF emf
grafton from several points. Although il
rs now large, still II is not large enough
in proportion to the number OF people
leaving the old states TO seek homes, and
am convinced that the principal reason
of the deficiency is that people are not
educated up 10 the Texas advantages as
they have been for years to the advantages
of the Northwest and of Kansas. For in
stance in our own section, Central Ohio,
all ticket offices are distributing points
for Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota litera-
ture. The Kansas and Northwestern
roads in general have paid liberal com
missions on the sale OF tickets and
the same points, very many | believe,
they had a chance to make commissions
on lands sold by the companies or in the
territory near railroads. Those railroads
could very well afford TO pay liberal COM
missions TO any one that would help settle
up the country near them, AZ 1t not only
advanced the prices of their own lands
but made business for the roads.
This question of paying commissions
on tickets TO Texas points is now being
discussed pro and con here. As far as
the roads are concerned it looks like very
short sighted business TO shut off the
small commissions now given. One
would think they would take advantage
Of the experience of the North
western roads and increase them.
The prices IN the Northwest range
much higher than better land in Texas
sells for, because the flow of emigrants is
constant and inthc end the purchaser OF the
land pays all the expenses, commissions
included.
our only plan 10 induce emigrants TO
visit Texas is, still keep before them the
delightful climate, the rich soil, the ease
with which crops are produced and the
small loss OF time to the laboring man
from bad weather. II takes lots of wind
to talk against Kansas and Nebraska
men, bnt we have the facts to back us.
How much easier il the Eastern agents
were at our backs helping us ms they help
the Northwestern landmen, or If they
were only neutral. do not speak OF the
agents in my own place we have, for they
have always been very kind and obliging,
and often of much assistance; but gcner-
ally, with the same talk and advertising,
the tide could be turned in this direction
If they only got the same pay for doing it.

Unjust Road Law.

The road law is at present receiving
such attention as will bring 1t before the
legislature for a revision. There is no
question but what it stancs sadly in need
of repairs, as under the present system
but little attention is paid to the working
or establishing Of roads. 1t has been
suggested that the employment of CON
victs TO work the public thoroughfarcs
wonld be advisable, aud, while this may
be true, il would not he mistaken idea

BuIgaria's Success.

King hilaD, according TO the dis
patches, denies that be will sbdicste. 1t
is not easy TO understand how he will be
able 70 maintain his position. 1t can
hardly be denied that the disaster which
has overtaken the servians was due 10 hi
bad geBeralship. He succeeded very well
enough as long as be found no obstacles in
his way, but be made a complete failure
as soon as be encountered difficulties.
he marched into Bulgaria with flying col
ors ard an enthusiastic army, and be
marched back again defeated and humll-
lated. His attack on Slivnitza, where he
was overtaken by a calamity that bet
ter general than he is could no. have re-
paired, was hasty and ill-considered.
Had he waited for divisions OF his army
that were marching to Join him. and
which would have given him force that
would have vastly increased his chances
for success, he might not now be occupy
ing his present humiliating position.
His troops fought we'll, and showed that
with leader worthy OF them they could
be depended upon TO do their part.
Prince Alexander has proved himself to
be much the ADLER lmmander. He not
only prevented the lateral divisions OF the
Servian army from joining the main body,
after the repulse at SlivnItza, but he pur-
sued the Servians into their own territory.
and, our dispatches this morning state
an important servian stronghold Is being
besieged.
1t Is reported that King Milan has Sc
cretly visited the Emperor OF Austria,
and begged for assistance, but it is doubt
full II Austria will help him. He has
hardly shown himself worthy of help, and
interference in his behalf by Austria
would at once be followed, doubtless, by
the interference Of Russia in the
trouble. The indications now are,
that King Milan will lose
his throne and that Servia Will have
to pay Bulgaria good large war indem-
nifty. The Seryians who were so anxious
for war will get no part Of Bulgaria's ter
fitory. Prince Alexander has already
sained much in reputation but he has lost
Eastern BOumelia, the cause of the war.
IL peace were declared now, therefore,
Bulgaria would have gained nothing. Her
people would have occasion 10 grumble,
perhaps, because OF heavy increase in
their taxes.
