COMPENSATION

About year ago we spoke of the approach
of the lime when he tide OF traffic watch then
set 81 strongly toward Chicago would be TUNED
into other channels. Many Of the lines which
penetrated the west End northwest were built
outfrom Chicago, and naturally all the tratfi;
woich they gathered III was carried TO thet-
eastern term nus.
1t vi not be denied that in 1857 there was
plenty OF business as compa cd with previous
years, but II appears that the eaIniage of The
lines n the southwestern Association. upon
competitive traffic, ware S25O,0O0 less than 10
1885. This can only tie accounted for by the
fact that there has been a diversion. II cannot
be disguised that the Memphis and BiroiCg-
Ram Road has turned much freigh: to the
southeast, which used to go east by the way Of
Chicago and the trunk lines.
And this shifting will be greater instead of
less. The Gould lines, now reaching ont into
Colorado, will be in position very soon 30 tahe
freight from that state, Kansas and the Indian
Territory by a short route to tide water on the
Gulf of Mexico and the South Atlantic The
Atchison and the Rock Island VIII drain the
wheat fields Of the central western states
through Texas to the Gu fist. Louis Railroad
Register.
Southwark the tendency Is, fGom
north and northwest, aid with deep
water On the Texas coast the movement
would be accelerated. To this great
question should rot only Texas states.
menshiD ard patriotism be directed, but
Texas unity as we'll. Tie future Of Texs5
is full Of the promise OF commercial,
agricultural and political greatness, but
deep water would all the sooner convert
the promise into fruition. Shall we wait
for the great roads that sic coming to
secure it, or hasten their coming and
increase their number by providing deep
Watel?

TIE outlook for Fort Worth in 1888 1,

TIE outlook for Fort Worth in 1888 Is
most promising. In less than sixty days
the conductors will cry out, GAN aboard
for Denver" and "Ail aboard for Mem
phis via the Cotton Belt" In less than
sixty days the ground will be broken for
nearly $500, 900 worth Of buslness houses,
including d Board of Trade building six
stories high. And little later on will
come the live stock product, ct appreci-
ated prices for cattle, aud the wheat, with
steckysrds and the Few Touring mill and
elevator ready to accommodate both.
The future is bright.

Encouraging Progress.

Some of our good friends who are
doing so noble work in the temper
ance cause are inclined to be impatient
when they ought to be thankful and
full of encouragement. 1t is not I'M
common to hear them say: 1.-The drink
curse is growing worse and worse;"
''All our efforts in the past have been
unsuccessful" 1--WE have tried this
and that method and failed, and now
we must try another" These, and
similar expressions, often appear in
print, and are sometimes heard on the
Temperance platforms, while in prl-
vate conversation, among certain
class of people, they form the staple
of their utterances. But the truth is
that hardly any cause has made so
rapid progress, of late years, as that
of Temperance. The private drinking
habits of good society have been, to a
large extent, reformed, and public
drinking was never so unpopular as it
is to-day. The ban that has been put
upon the liquor traffic, together with
the war made upon it by men and
women, exhibit it as business that
must, within a short time, be reduced
to helplessness. if not entirely extermi-
mated. United Presbyterian.

Bogus Beer.

The Commissioner of Agriculture
has just issued the third of series of
reports on adulteration of food, drinks
and drugs. This report treats of adul-
terations of fermented alcohol, malt
liquors, wine and cider. The chemist
and analyst by whom the report is
made concludes that beer is generally
adulterated with acid, poisonous and
injurious to health. Of thirty-three
samples of beer analysed six American
beers contained salicylic acid, of which
two were bottled beers, samples of Mil
waukee beer, two from St Louis. one
Alexandria. Va, and one from Phila-
delphia, which latter was also soured.
In Philadelphia beer only were hop
substitutes found. OF beers brewed in
Washington one contained sulphite
and carbonate of soda, the latter
article was also found in Alexandria
