RAILROADS AND COMING PROS.
PERIrY.

The depression that has so much
troubled us began With the great re-
duction OF the railroad building that
had gone on until the lines were
rather over than under the wants Of
the public. Among other signs OF re-
turning prosperity we find to-day a
revival OF the call for more railroads.
The newspaper reader finds in almost
every part OF the Union calls upon
capitalists to build q road In one place
or extend one In another, and here
and there meetings are held to call at
tention to the pressing need for rail-
road in some direction or other, and
schemes OF projected roads are con-
tinually announced or advocated. Tie
Northwest and Southwestern prai-
RE and mountain States show much
OF this what we may call preliminary
activity, especially with respect to the
great trunk lines communicating with
portions Of sfthe Pacific coast.
Texas is showing q good deal
Of spirit ia connection with projected
new lines and extensions OF existing
lines. Should Congress put the Next
can treaty into active operation still
further stimulus would be communi-
Gated to the Texas system OF roads.

last week delegates from North Texas
had been in convention at Galveston

ment that is becoming more. striking
every month. For three years Texas
has shared In the general railroad
lull, but not for want OF previous
activity, for the State has 8S48 miles
OF main lines and 705 miles OF side
track, a total Of 705l miles, and yet 1t
is to-day active and eager in discuss
ing still further railway work. The
South generally Is rising up vigor-
ously In the same direction,
as the daily railroad column Of the
APPEAL makes evident. AS the sus-
pension OF railroad building was q sort
Of vanguard TO the setting In Of the
period Of the depression, so we may
regard the present call for more rail-
roads and the animated discussion Of
new projects as messengers coming be-
fore TO indicate that depression is
about to give way to prosperous days
and an active commerce. When the
public want moro railroads 1t is be-
cause they have products to send
away and receive, making wider trans
portation facilities a necessity.

plains. They know but little OF
our system of breeding and maintain
ing cattle, which is wholly different
fion that followed In the agricu tuIal
regions, aud therefor they cannot with
wisdom pa ticipat, in delibei atoms
concerning our business. The utter.
ett, OF the entire range country are go
