route to Houston, Galveston and tho
East, independent of the Sunset road
which Is controlled by the Hunting

composition with that road for the

that Mr.. Huntington, foreseeing this,
has purchased the Msekay road 10

made. 1t IS known that Mr.. MaeAay
had promised to extend his road at
GOliad; which promise encouraged the
people Of San Antonio with the hone
that IN few months they would thus
be relieved Of the eEtOrtions of tho
Sunset. The withdrawal Of the Nor
gan steamers from Indianola is also
significant. II is known to some who
have seen Mr.. Huntington's hand
that DIS railroad interests are opposed
to deep water on the Texas coast. Con-
trolling the long haul from ths
Paciuc coast to New Orleans with This
valuable feeder in Texas, and gulf
steamers which center there, it Is TO
his interest TO carry every pound OIL
freight 10 that port for distriOu ion 10
the different markets of the warld, A
deep water port on the coast OF Texas
would develop serious competition
with the huntington scheme. The
shortening OF tho haul FROM the Pa
cific to the gulf by GOO miles would
kill the businers over his line. Deep
water at Arkansas with new line of
steamers and short rail connection
with San Antonio means that, IL it
means anything, MIR. Huntington
sees 1t and Is playing to checgmate it.
He can defeat dsep water at Arausas
by buying the San Antonio Il Arau-
as Pass railway, extending the Vic
toris road to Corpus Christi and with
drawing his steamers from this pors,
That with little "sosp" judiciously
used at Washington will kill our
deep water scheme ''deader IAN Hoe,

priation for Arkansas, or white it
down to an Insignificant sum by thus
making deep water appear unnecss-
sary. He can do this provided the
people of West Texas submit TO it.
But there may be nothing ia sll this.

TRouIDITIoN POLITICALLY,
Prohibition WAS defeated in EcIen-
nan county last Friday by majority
vote of about 1900. The antl's, after
the returns were in from the county
precincts, serenaded Messrg. Coke and
Ross, and exclaimed, "Democracy and
Cole forever" Next Tuesday the
question Of prohibition viii DO put to
vOtn Of the people, and things up
there have been "gcessed for the occa-
SION by both sides. 1t will be hotly
contested, and VIC shall see Whit we
shall 500. IL seems evident, however,
that tho masses in this state are not
yet prepared for this question. Politl-
