a WORTHY CAUSE.

Mrs. Mary v. Hogan of Ennis, Texas,
hands US an appeal for help to build the
"White Cross Home" Of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Unions Of Texas.
She says the home is to be built at Gar
rett, on the Houston and Texas Central
Railroad, fifty-three miles from Fort
Worth. Land is bought and paid for,
and some lumber and shingles donated,
and some money paid in; but more is
needed at once. TIE home is for the
fallen women anywhere in Texas who de.
sire to lead better life and be separated
from old associates. A good Christian
woman is waiting to take charge as
matron as soon as the house is built.
She appesls to all for help, and says
send along your money by postal note,
registered letter, money order or bsnk
check, or send due bill for lumber,

CAPTURED BY SHEEPMEN.

The immigration convention which
closed its labors in San Antonio has put
itself on record IS fsvoring the retention
of the tariff on wool. This will be used
to influence Texas Representatives il
Congress. It should be remembered that
the immigration meeting was merely &
local gathering IN which the stste OF
Texas, IS g whole, had nothing to d.
WITH. The meeting was called for c
specific purpose, and delegates were
selected and sent to San Antonio for that
purpose. Wool interests were not con-
sidered or discussed, and the fact that the
question was sprung on the convention
shows that the woolmen were there il
force, ready to take snap judgment on the
convention. The sheepmen have an I'M
doubted right to pass such resolutions as
may seem proper, but it is questionable
whether they should have introduced tariff
measures in & convention selected for the
specific purpose Of securing immigration
to Texas. Il does not matter whether or
not the msiority favored the ides;
it was not a sheepmsn's convention
and should not have been con-
verted into one. The resolutions will
be understood and given full, credit for
what they are worth by cur representa-
tives. They represent one section Of
Texas and ore class Of citizens. They
are not the conclusions arrived ct By any
state meeting nor by men called together
to discuss snd pass upon tariff questfcnss
The people of the southwest are TO be
congratulated upon the energy they have
displayed in their efforts to secure imni-
grafton, and they are excusable, perhaps,
for allowing the sheepmen to capture
them and share their deliberations. The.
southwest is the peculiar home of the
sheepman. and the principle of home rule
prevails all over Texas. The resolutions
will be "received and filed" by our ma
tional representatives.

THE MEMPHIS BRIDGE BILL

Tennessee and Arkansas are somewhat
exercised over the question of large
railroad bridge over the Father Of Waters
at the Bluff City and delegates have gone
to Washington to urge the measure which
has received backset through the in
fuence of Senator Isham G.. Harris, in
the Senate. Everyone is agreed that q
bridge across the Mississippi river is 8
necessity. The railroads leading from
either side have to bundle their cars on
ferry-boat and flcat them oyer, much to
the danger and disgust of travellers. Con-
gresham Phelsn of Memphis introduced
a bill in the House, which passed with.
out opposition, authorizing the coustruc-
ton of bridge over which al railroads
might pass by psying their pro rata OF the
expense, snd it WAS supposed that the
matter was settled. It appears, however,
that an old company had secured charter
ia the remote past, and was waiting
for Congress to furnish the money TO
prosecute the enterprise. Like many an
other old company, this one belongs to

To Dallss no news has come for years
as pleasant and refreshing SIS the iniorma-
ton that charter for q railroad from
Dallas to New Orleans has been filed with
the Secre airy of State. The mere fact OF
the charter would perhaps not provoke
comment, but enough is known about
this company TO give the very best as
surances that business is Intended. Be-
sides the Dallas folks, whose names carry
with them the presumption that the en-
terprise is sound one, the names of men
prominently connected with the Fort
Worth aud Denver makes the assurance
doublY sure. 1t has been known for
years that the Fort Worth and Den
yer road wanted to come to Dallas. 1t
has been known tnat it. intended to come
at no distant day. Bat it deferred the
movement in this direction till 1t could
complete its line to 8 connection with
Denver, when it would be at leisure to
perfect it's southwestern plans. Those
plans are great. They include the ides,
not only furnishing the plains and timber
less country OF the northwest, even to
Denver, with the lumber of Southeast
Texas and Louisiana. It includes the
grand idea of direct trunk line from
Denver, the mining center, to New Or
leans and the ocean. In fact, it will be
the Denver and New Orleans Railroad,
and will tap the mines of Colo
RADIO, the cattle-grszing countries of
Mexico and the Panhandle, the ag
rcultural districts of North Texas and
fine pine land of Southwest Texas ana
Louisiana. The line runs through these
countries celebrated for the richness Of
their products. l. will require not SO
much capital as might be supposed. From
Dallas to the southeast the railroad will
be welcomed with bonus snd good treat
ment. The people want their iron ore
developed. They want market for their
timber. They want to sell their fsrm
products. 1t is 4 great scheme, but there
is no man who knows the country through
which the liue will pass doubts but that
it is one that promises rich returns to the
capital that carries 1t out.
