Northwestern VS.. Southeastern


Mr.. Powell, one of the gentlemen
interested In the Northwestern rail.
road, is now In New York perfectinp
arrangements for building the road
There are no hugags or tom.toms in
this work. The management is pro.
ceedinR In business-like, practical
manner, which should relieve all
doubts as to the road. The Fort Worth
method of giving four yells TO every
spadefull OF dirt thrown will not be
adopted on this line. When work Is
commenced 1t will not stop but be
quietly pushed till at least seventy
i've miles OF the road are built Dal-
las Times.
THE GAZETTE has only fond wishes
for the Northwestern. The moment
that road crosses the Denver, that mo-
ment IL becomes a feeder TO
Fort Worth's wholesale trade.
Feeling thus earnestly, we re-
greet that the Times encour-
ages its people to look to New York
for the money to build the road, in
stead of whooping up "hugags," and
'tom-toms," and "yells," and money
subscriptions among It's own people.
Capital Is cautious, prudent and con.
sentative. NeD Workers are not going
TO build road from Dallas when they
see Fort Worth forging ahead as 1t is.
We warn the Times, now, that as long
rs Dallas "sits down and roars''
at Fort Worth pluck, and
does nothing else but depend
on others, just so long will Dallas lag
and retrograde. We love Dallas; 1t is
a North Texas town it must not
drop behind Waco, Austin ana Bren-
ham let Its people awake, arise and
follow Fort Worth. The lark in the
field uuieted her young with confident
assurances until the old farmer re-
solved to cut his wheat without wait
ing for people in New York to help
him.
Fort Worth wants that Northwest.
ern road, because 1t would come cheap
to this city. Let the Times beat the
long roll, sound the trumpet, get up a
"hugagn or two, incite its people to
yell" and to raise money to build the
road themselves. Eastern capital
helps those who help themselves. Let
Dallas grid on it's armor for the fray,
for the proud young city of Fort
Worth is already in the field equipped
for the contest. Within the last fort.
night Fort Worth has secured:
The extension OF the Fort Worth &
Denver to Harold;
Buford's Implement agency;
The cotton factory;
The Texas Wesleyan college;
The Waxahachie railroad;
And already the "hugag" is sounded
Tor the Brownwood road;
And already the germ fora road 70
Mckinney has been planted.
Fort Worth would not hit Dallas

Oheap Lumber and Prominently.

The Dallas Democrat supplies ua
with an editorial this morning which
we use with pleasure, especially as our
own people are looking at the Waxa-
hachie road in precisely the same
light. For this much, thanks:
Fort Worth seems In earnest about
opening avenues OF trade to the south
east. She may expend her energy and
enthusiasm In reaching Waxahachie,
as Dallas has done In reaching Kauf-
man, but we very much doubt 1t. The
business sense and foresight In the
movers Of the Waxahachie projection
see the advantages to be derived In
making Fort Worth a cheap lumber
market, and the onward move in the
direction Of Waxahschie lie but the
initial step to making the lumber Of
Southeast Texas add TO her wealth and
prosperity by attaining the trade Of
the prairles that need the lumber for
development.
"After Fort Worth shall have passed
through the difficulties of obtaining
the right Of way between the Fort
and Corsicana she will be able to adj
vance rapidly because OF the cheapness
and facility for obtaining material for
construction and earnest assistance Of
the inhabitants, who have long wished
for communication by railway with
North Texas.
"Freestone county, through which
the line will pass, and which has
never had railroad facilities except by
the Central, that barely touches her
western border, will grant not only
the right Of way, but a large sub
sidy to any line that will pass
through the county-this the Fort
will be certain to get whenever
asked for. The line OF this road will
crsss the Narrow Gauge system of
Texas at two points, will open up
cheap material for manufacturers,
and will be given airline communities
ton with New Orleans"

voters In his district. the congressman
can select q postmaster more accept
able to the people than they could for
themselves. This Is a remarkable doc
trine and Just precisely what was adj
vanced In England by the opponents
OF the extension OF the franchise bill.
1t is unrepublican and Numerically
opposed to the spirit and teachings Of
our institutions. II, In fact, an exer-
else OF the popular franchise Is
"neither just nor practicable then
the whole fabric OF our boosted system
OF selfgovernment must fall to the
ground, for the duty and privilege Of
| selecting our servants and rulers are
Its very foundations. The chief
feature of our system of government,
as contradistinguished from the mon
arches Of the old world, is that the
individual citizen, rich and poor, high
and low, has an equal vote and voice
in the afIairs Of the country. Each
must feel an equal responsibility since
each vote is counted and not weighed
In the scale against money bags. II the
element" feared by the Democrat is
so largely in the majority 1t Is
q wonder that it should reserve
its errors and mistakes for the
particular case Of postmas-
ter. Why is not "Kentucky beern
used to elect men to congress, for in
stance, who "are totally incompetent
and irresponsible" and when elected
and exercising that divine right, ac-
corded them by the Democrat, OF
thinking and acting for the common
herd, why is 1t that they have such inn
munity from errors, wilfull or accident
al? Surely the Democrat is mis-
taken. That obnoxious element" so
dreaded is composed of laboring men
who have nothing, perhaps, but
cottage nothing, perhaps, but two
willing hands. The merchants,
farmers and the congressman, ac-
cording to the Democrat, are
not to be bought with drink, and,
therefore, they should do theselecting.
Aside from such arguments being the |
rankest kind Of politica, heresy, they |
are gratuitous and undeserve5 insults |
thrown In the face of every man who
does not happen to be congressman
or a merchant. The vast army of
honest and independent toilers who
wear overalls and sun-browned skins
may not shine luminously as parlor
ornaments, but there is perhaps as
much average intelligence, as much
honesty, as much freedom from bribe-
taking, and as much sterling manhood
that scars high above all corrupting
influences, among the mechanics and
artisans as can be found in any exclu-
sive sphere, or goody-goody social con-
dition. When THE GAZETTE reaches
that pass that 1t will be afraid to trust
the ballot to such men as these, it
Will meekly bow its head to the inev.
liable and submit quietly to whatever
letters the divine rights" of kings see
fit to place upon it. In those days, 1t
may be observed, THE GAZETTE will
not be doing business at the old stand.

Let Brotherly Love Continue.


Some gentlemen In Fort Worth who
were able to contribute literally to the
Waxahachie road did not contribute at
oil and for this failure they are being
somewhat harshly criticised. The
Waxahachie road is now secured. 1t
can avail nothing to indulge acrimony
and hard feeling. There are other
enterprises to be promoted. Unity ia
essential. Let 1t prevail, and let
brotherly love continue. However
one may regard 1t, each man had a
right to give or refuse TO the Waxs-
hschlc road. A failure to do so was
not necessarily the result ofilhberallty
or disregard of Fort Worth's welfare.
When future enterprises are proposed,
and when the final account ia struck,
then we may look for the names OF
men who gave nothing to any OF them
and cry dead weight. Until the end
Is reached let us wait and see If a

did not dictate his action. Let unity
