THE TEXAS TRAIL TOPIC
SOUTH TEXAS sTocKMEN TALK.
The Majority Highly Pleased-Wlnches-
ters Predicted by Others-some Pre-
fer Shipping and Don't Care
II the Trail Is Closed.

SAN ANTONIO, May lS.-.Special.l T.
Interviews with many prominent south
ern Texrs cattle growers relative to the
compromise trail reached in the late
Dallas convention, lead to the following
expressions of opinion: Many were
highly pleased with the trail as de-
lined; said Is crossed good range and
good water and was in every way avail
able, always supposing the cattlemen
whose ranges 1t crossed would stand by
the action of the convention and permit
the peaceable arrival and departure of
southern herds. Others said the route
was good enough for all practical pur-
poses, but was much longer and more
circuitOus than IL in any way needed. 1t
would serve. however, supposing they
were allowed TO drive over it, Others
blamed the southern delegates for
yielding too much to the illegal de-
mand OF the north Texas COW kings,snd
some congratulated them on obtaining
more than they had any right to expect.
Said one of them: "When the conyen-
ton adjourned | was congratulating
myself ON our easy radiance Of the diff
Guilty. An intimate friend of mine from
the Panhandle said 10 me, you fellows
will got along easily and will be aided
byus. You don't pOach on our particular
mRnors, but there are some big fellows in
the way Of the trail and when You run
up against two or three winchesters
you'll have TO rustic for yourselves.
One delegate said the permanent clos g.
ing OF the trail would DO the best thing
that ever happened TO southern Texas.
81 am shipping my stock" said he,
land l get more clear money for calves
In 81. Louis than the trail drovers get
Tor yoarlings in any par. OF Kansas, We
want refrigerat0rs down here and ex-
tended shipments. Let them close the

THE DALLAS g. MOP. THWESTERN

ton and Investigation in the field from
here to Seymour. The Dallas HERALD
has r,cgsistently fought for this outcome,
and for week or two past has conf
de,htly predicted that the Immediate flu
inre would show road so organized
ard materialized as to give to this city
| Sll it needed in the way of northwest
! connection.
The result has only approved our
Judgment. In week or less, we are
told, surveying corps is to be
placed in the field and the "Queen
City's" capital DO reaching out after the
magnificent trade and possibilities OF
the Panhandle. AS soon as the appeal
was properly made Dallas capital
at onco responded. We are Of those
possibly who are slow to anger or Yigor
but when matter of vital Importance
is brought home to the enter
prising citizens OF this city, NJ
men in America respond more
quickly or with more generosity
One thing of special Significance The
HERAHB desires to call attention to-
the committee and accompanying party
that will go from Dallas into the North
west will be composed of some of thu
most reliable men in this city, gentle
| men who have risked their individual

of other localities or the credulity o

The communities from Dallas to thu

now an assured line--it will prove no
only beneficial to Dallas and its incor

The CHOLERATHls YEAR.

VIII the cholera prove epidemic in
this country this year is now an all alb
sorbing topic. For several years past
the United States has been particularly
free from anything like an epidemic,
and the possibility Of one now is richly
calculated to alarm all the people Of this
nation. Yellow fever has been stopped
in or confined to few of our southern
ports tor may years past, and cholera,
the general scourge, has not been felt
for many along year past.
Europe appears to be watching the in
oculating process in Spain with great
interest. 1t may be possible that pre-
ventive has been found and that the
horror OF this great modern soourge has
been relieved. Certainly, in its UNI
checked course nothing could DO moro
terrible or alarming than this plague of
Asiatic origin, and its presence in Amer
lea this season would prove, from a
manifold standpoint, the most disas-
trous. For this reason tho HERALD, in
common with all other papers in the
country, has been crying in strong
terms, "ClOan up" Whether tho cpl
demic comes OF not, no city failing TO
prepare for its appearance will be or
cused from the charge of gross negli-
gence.
Encouraging news comes from New
York. PRoF. or DIR. HAMMOND, one of
the greatest physicians of the day in
America, does not apprehend an cpl.
domio this year with us. His opinion
ia entitled to great weight, but ia
directly in conflict with that of dozens
Of other great doctors. IL is TO DO hoped
that DIR. HAMMOND has "sized up" the
difficulty properly and that his word
can be- relied on, but of course Il 1,
merely a conjecture on his part.
The principal ground for not anticl
pating cholera in America this year 4.
tho fact that the disease last season was
only virulent IN one or two points Of
Europe. Had IL boon epidemic and
ravaged all sections we could hardly
have avoided IL this year in tho United
States, but AZ tits the general scare IN
America seems TO us to be unioundod
