Much Railroad Talk-A Memorial for the
Churoh-That's Good.
Special to the Gazette.
BAIRD, TEX, Feb. l9.-We have much
railroad talk now. The impression pre-
walls that the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
will make connection between Cole
man and Wichita, Kans., by way OF Baird,
Albany, Seymour and Vernon, Tex. The
fact that this line is ON that OF the great
Texas cattle trail, over which as many as
$4,000 head of cattle have passed in one
season, has something to do with this
route.
Hon. j N. Rushing has forwarded to
Senators Coke and Maxey at Washington
a memorial asking for deep water at Gal
weston, signed by more than 200 citizens
Of Baird
The entertainment given last evening
by the ladies Of the Baptist church at the
residence Of Mr.. W. NJ. James was an
enjoyable affair with an immense crowd
in attendance. The ladies charged 10
cents admittance and furnished an excel
lent lunch for all. The net proceeds
were IS 90 to be added to building fund.
a cantata was performed by Misses Au-
gusta and Elma Hardgreyes, represent
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, which all en-
joyed very much. The next meeting will
be held at Mr.. S. L. 0gle's residence two
weeks hence.

CONTENTION OF TIE COLLEGE FRA'
TERNITIES.

A movement has originated in Buffalo look
ing to convention of the Greek letter frater-
mites of our American colleges Its orlgnators
in the circulars which they have issued properly
speak of these societies as powerful factors In
sbapnx the character and career of college
men. and express the reasonable belief that they
may become an instrument OF great service III
many directions, "notably IN supplying strong
bond between tie alumni of the colleges.
Judge Tuurgee, who advocates the holding or
such convention, has written letter on the
subject in which:he argues that discussion by
such a representative body of the fraternity
system in its relation TO college life. college dis
cipline. civic duty and postgraduate culture
would be of substantial value.
Nothing is to be said against the proposition
in question, while several considerations can
be urged in its favor In bis famous PM Beta
Kappa Grafton Wendell Phillips took college
men severely, not to say ferOciously, to task
for neglecting to meet their public obligations.
This failure of the educated class to make itself
felt in politics is often dwelt upon and goes far
to explain why politics are not cleaner, and why
statesmen of the Jaehne school are SO numerous.
Rascals who take an interest in public affairs
find their opportunity in the selfish indifference
to the common veal of their passively reputable
fellow citizens. convention which resulted
in inducing the members of the college fratorni-
ties to give heed to their civic duties would by
no means be held in vain
The value of such a cow entiOn in its relation
to college life and discipline is oby ious. 1t
ought to be possible for the fraternities acting
as a unit to help nightly i'll the formation of n
healthy public sentiment among undergradu-
ates. If, for instance, a convention made mp OF
representatives of all the leading fraternities
should take strong ground against hazlng or
some related piece of stupid and cruel tomfOol-
cry, the chances are that the Nuisance would
speedily be known no more IN American col
leges. Undergraduates would be apt to respect
the positions taken by the societies on veyed
questions of college life and discipline. For
they would realize that the voice OF the cOnven-
ton was the voice of sympathetic brethren On
the other hand, the college authorities would
have nothing to fear, since the alumni control
ling the convention could be counted upon to
take no action which was not calculated to con-
serve the welfare of the institutions.
And the convention would have yet another
good reason for being. College authorities
always like to know what college men out in
the world think of college questions that hap
pen to be uppermost for the time being-the
part which the classics should play in IA cur
Iicnlum, the propriety of making prayers an
elective, the cOeducation of the sexes, and the
like. The convention would furnish an adj
mirable arena for the discussion of such topics
and the college presidents would doubtless gain
many valuable hints from it.

miles. show n slight decrease In earnings per
mile operatcd. The report OF earnings on the
New-York Central and West Shore, wbich
comes all the way from London, shows u
healthy improvement for the first four months
of the year-a gain of $l.927,OO0 on the two
roads, of which S7O7 900 is on the New York
Central proper.
Stocks advanced to an average Of $50 30,
gaining ~ cents per share for the week. t1e
coal stocks getting the cream OF II. les coal
wss weaker last week, and there are disputed
reports of sales below the usual rates, one SAFE
being reported of chestnut ut 50 80. The IRON
business ,ooks less encouraging Southern iron
being sold in Philadelphia below Pennsy
figures, so that some yelling is noticed even IN
the best brands, and the reported determine
ton of the Thomas Company to put up costly
works ut the South tends to confirm the bellei
that this competition will last. In May, three
more anthracite furnaces went into blast, max
ing 122 in all. There is possibility OF trouble
resulting from the dissatisfaction OF puddlers
of the Western association, but the labor strikes
ths year have proved so disastrous on the
whole that there is but little encouragement to
begin another, especially as the bar iron busi-
other branches of the iron and steel industry.
Wheat tended downward, the attempt to put
ND the price on reports Of drOuth having but a
brief success on Monday. The collapse OF
@bul" party at Chicago on Friday made the
decline 41s cents for the week, while corn was
inactive, sustained mainly by the fact that
much is found unsound, and sound corn is said
to be getting scarce. Oats are firmly held in
spite of the bureau reports foreshadOwing a
large crop. Reported short supplies OK Straits
and Australian tin helped an advance of 60
cents per 100 pounds, and tallow rose 20 cents
for the week. while cotton declined sixteenth
after the fall Of much-needed rain in TEXAS was
known. Other products changed in price very
little, a speculative rise in lard being followed
by loss of all that had been gained.
The Treasury gained during the week only
5000, 900 in gold and lost only 100000 in
silver, but reports 81, 1OO0 900 less legal tenders
owned than week ago. This explains the
banks reported increase of 81, 1885, 300, but the
cause of so considerable change does not ap-
pear. The improvement in exports does not
seem to last, while imports were large again
last week, so that for six weeks the increase In
imports has been II per cent while the decrease
in the value of exports has been per cent.
The reduction of rate by the Bank of England
is regarded with satisfaction rs evidence that
the drain of gold from this country is probably
over for the time, but there still seem to be
afloat exchange bills, for investment or self
protection, to a large amount.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Unusual disbursements by the Treasury, and
laIge gains i'll bank reserves helped to sustain
the prices of securities las. week, while the
general condition of business was favored by
crop news. The exchanges outside of New
York show transactions larger last week by
about II per cent than those of the correspond
ing week last year. but it was about this time
year ago that things were at the worst. In
May, however, the increase in exchanges was
15.S per cent, and in April lip per cent,
and these reports show a well sustained
activity in business, by no means confined
to speculative centres. Progress toward a
settlement of labor difficulties also has an I'M
portant influence in stimulating confidence, and
the wars of railroad companies have been 50
constantly and SO long held up as a bugbear,
when the roads were aftcrward found to have
been steadily improving in earnings. that they
have lost much of their power to alarm.
1t cannot be SAID, however, that the returns
of earnings are together satisfactory The
reports for sxty-three roads published by The
Financial Chronicle on Saturday show an in
crease of $G52, Gi7 compared with the same
month last year, but the two largest gains in
the list are by Canadian roads. Deducting the
Canada Pacific and the Grand Trunk. the sixty
one remaining roads report earnings Of
81 5,O3S, 49S, against $14,710,747, hat the
mileage of the roads was 1920 this year,
against 40 1913 last year. An increase of %
per cent i'll gross earnings, against per cent in
mileage, shows no substantial Improvement in
earnings per mile operated and the comparison
is with month last year in which business was
by no one considered satisfactory 1t must be
added that the cost of operating railroads is
greater than it was last year, both as to wages
and rs to cost of rails and other materials. The
Chronicle points out that Northwestern rail-
roads have not done very well that the same
roads were earning in May of last year nearly s
per cent less thar In 1854, the excessive CON-
petition and multiplication of rival lines being
mentioned as the obvious cause. On the other
hand, the Published returns do not include the
Eastern trunk lines. But the more complete
reports by The RaiIroad Gdsette of the April
earnings Of ninety railroads. operating 1852
