poets to make a single dollar di

ginal builders of new and unsubsi.
died railways rarely make any.
thing out of them except in an in,
direct way. Towns and counties
where there are no railway facili'
ties subscribe literally to get them,
frequently donating right of way
through the town, as we'll as de-
pot grounds, and right Of way
through the county, and in addi-
ton to this paying a cash bonus of
from $4,000 to 100000, and in
nearly every instance such lines of
railways are owned by non-resi-
dents or corporations whose inter-
ests are not in the way stations.
The Brazos Valley railway is a
Brennan enterprise, it was started
by Brennan men and it is the in
tention to build and operate the
road in the interest of Brenham
and SO long as the road can be
maintained as a 10 cal one, this can
be done. If the line is extended
to Waco 1t can be built without
material injury, or really any IN
jury at all TO our business. Bren-
hams local trade along the line
will have been thoroughly estab-
llshed and Waco will be no more
injury to Brennan than is Hous-
ton and Austin now. 1t is 102
miles on an air line TO Waco, 95
miles by rail to Austin and y
miles to Houston. Brennan is adj
mirably situated to make as good
distributing point as any of the
places mentioned, and once the
Brazos Valley railway is in sue
cessfui ancration there will be no
difficulty in extending it and build
ing other lines as they may be re-
quired. So far only very few of
our leading citizens have taken
any interest in the Brazos Valley
limo ; they are in earnest and will
do all they can reasonably, but
they will expect help, especially
in the matter of securing right of
way through town and in the
country. 1t is nothing more than
reasonable that the man whose
property is taken for railway pur-
poses should be paid fair and
compensation for it,
but piece OF property worth say
300 as 1t stands, is not worth $500
Or $500 to the railway and to de-
mand such q price is unjust not
only to the railway company but
10 the community at large which is
equally interested in having the
line built for the general good.
Should 1t become necessary to
make a call on the citizens gener-
lilly for assistance in procuring
right of way it is TO be hoped that
every one will assist to the extent
Of his ability.

Saturday juno 26. Ho was born
In Maryland IN 1915. Judge Davis
was one of our best known public
men. From 1862 to 1877 he was
one of the judges of the United
States Supreme Court and resigned
in 1877. to accept the Office Of
United States senator from Hi
nois, having been elected ovcl
John A. Logan by a combination
of tho Democrats with the hide
pendent Republicans. In the Sen
ate he was an Independent but
generally sided with Democrats OF
party issues. Since 1888 he has
been out of politics.

GEO. u. CHILDS.

The Baltimore News, Philadel-
phia Times and other papers hav-
ing suggested the name of Geo. W.
Childs, of the Philadelphia Ledger,
as u suitable candidate of the prcsi-
dency to be nominated by the labor
element, Mr.. Childs replies through
his paper, and after returning his
thanks for the compliments paid
him says: "ThIs manifestation of
your goodwill and great favor is
very welcome TO me, but you pro-
pose to do what should not be done,
and what l cannot under any pos
siblo circumstances agree that you
shall do" Mr.. Childs sees the folly
of cndcavoring to make Il class is
sue in the presidential election.
Tho election of a Iaboring mans
candidate to the presidency would
mean that the government should
be run in the interest of laboring
men. 1t was the intent of the
founders of the Republic that the
government should be of the pco-
pie, by the people, and for the pco-
pie. The declaration OF lndcpcnd-
encc declares all mon TO be created
free and equal; there are no class
distinctions among citizens of the
United States in their sovereign
capacity as citizens, and to-day the
vote of the humblest negro in the
land counts just rs much at the
polls as does that of Mr.. Cleveland,
the chief magistrate ofthe country.
The president of the United States
is sworn to administer the laws !;
the laws are made for all alike,
irrespective of race, color or pre-
vIouS, condition of servitude; what
ever social distinctions mag and do
exist there is no class distinction
in the laws of the land, and it is
well there is none. 1t will be an
evil day for this country if a class
president SHOULD over be elected.
Mr.. Childs in his reply 10 the Bal
tlmore News and the other papers,
shows himself to be true patriot
a man who has the good of his
country at heart,

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says
"the republicans in the United

and for subsldy-asking steamship
