THE cattlemen of Texas have investI
gated the matter fully, and believe n
national cattle trail would be beneficial
to stock raisers in every state and terri
tory west of the Mississippi river. 1t
seems, however, there is a jealousy ex-
isting in nearly every district outside
Of Texas, and efforts will be made to de-
feat its establishment. Kansas people
seem to be the most bitterly opposed to
it, and this opposition arises from the
fact that Kansas makes thousands upon
thousands of dollars egery year out of
Texas cattlemen, who drive their stock
to that state for sale, and they are fear
full perhaps they will lose these profits.
The subterfuge that Texas cattle would
spread the fever in the north is being
used to defeat a really good project.

SUBSCRIBER from Corsicana writes
that good man who carries pistol, if
the law makes it a felony to do so,
would be sent to felon's cell, etc. Did
Subscriber" ever reflect that if the law
prohibited any one from carrying a pis-
toll, a "good man" would not be found
with one buckled around his waist or in
his hip pocket? Good mon don't violate
the law. No man in Texas has any use
for pistol on his person, and If man
is found with one, he is of that kind who
wants some one to tramp on the tail of
his coat in order to shoot. If it is made
a felony, the law will be enforced, and
no honest jury will acquit any one of a
palpable violation of the law because
the accused is "good fellow" and a
peaceable man. Peaceable men do not
carry pistols and do not fear attacks
from any one, where it is necessary to
commit murder.
