TELEGRAPH COMPANIES AS CON-
MON CARRIERS,

House bill No. 1871, which has passed
to ongrossment, does not strike the
HERALD favorably. 1t provides "that
all telegraph companies in the state of
Texas, whether firms, corporations or
individuals, owning, leasing or operat
ing telegraph lines within the state OF
Texas, shall be and are hereby made |
common carriers for the receipt, trans
mission and delivery of all messages
rendered to be sent by telegraph"
The HERALD opposes this law because
IL does not believe telegraph companies
are In fact common carriers. II sounds
like punniug on words TO 80 term them.
Carrying messages is very different
from carrying material packages. The
laws that should govern tho one has no
application 10 the other. The general
laws already provide for failure 10 de-
liver the exact message sent in the
dispatch or for any malfeasance or
gross negligence as agent or emplOye OF
the party sending the message, and
whore the necessity comes in for de-
nominating them common carriers
when they only transmit words and
ideas between parties, appears not to
the HERALD more appropriate than it
would be to call a page Ia the legisla-
ture common carrier. But tho effect
Of such law would DO hurtful TO the
community. II would simply increase
the cost of telographing by compelling
the companies to insure their messages,
The cost would eventually come back
on he people. Again, tho atm lspheric

LAHPAsAs, Feb. lS.-[Special. There
is a movement on foot here, which is
taking practical shape, to induce cattle
men TO the south of Lampasas to use
this city as their terminal
shipping point for cattle, and
begin the drive from this place.
This route offers material advantages to
shippers TO the south, as they would
save from two to three days expense
and wear on their cattle from railroad
shipment, and have an easy and practi-
cal outlet from here north by drive.
The proposed route for this dive is from
here to Williams ranch, thence up Pc
can bayou TO the northeast corner of
Coleman county, on To the old Phantom
Hill trail, i'll Jones county; then
TO the Salt fork OF the Brazos,
mp through tho Panhandle, or Il
little east, through Greer county to the
Nation. This route, it is claimed by
leading local cattle men, affords unusu-
ally hno pasturage on route; that it is
we'll watored and but little INSTRUCTED
by large pasture fences. This city affords
iirst-class market in which to get
everything necessary for on fitting a
drive, from the men and horse $: to
the siX-shooter and leather
breeches. IL is thought that
some so, 600 cattle will be handled and
started out from this point, according TO
the above plan, this season.

Tin has been so muddled and fuddied

" Co, had left the city with between
5000 and $4,000 OF his employers
money, and later on it was
stated that this sum fell

fact he had raised one OF the firms
checks from S25 to $25 600, had drawn
the money from a Chicago

escaped. Members Of the firm, when
questioned, admitted the truth OF
the rumor, saying Weed had

that the money was returned to them
to-day, through an unknown channel.
A warrant charging theft is out for
