Now.
FORT WORTH, TEX, Feb. Is, 1855.
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
When the various lines Of railway
throughout the state were, in the main
under the control of what ie known as the
Gould Southwest System" the attempt
t. establish and operate beef reiriger-
sting business at auY point in Texas was
vsIn-glorieuS aud futile. Tue resson
was, and is, plain ard fprcible. There
Wss more money in carrying
live next than IL Refrigerated
meat TO that "system," xad TINT
"system" cont! oiled the transportation
lines Of the state, leading 20 all thesiive
s ockmsrkets ofIthe c0untry-hence;what-
ever effort was made toward the estab-
liehment of either retrigeraling business
or any other business tending to lessen or
curtsil live stock transportation met with
sctive and, IS has been proven, success
fuI opposition from that "system D."
They had epic ic" and availed them
selves Of the "sweetmeats" Of THEN
monopoly ct the expense Of the cattle
men Of Texas, who were thus
forced TO contribute the lions share
Of thsir prof able, yet hard earned pro-
duct.
But now, through various new snd fast
accommodating transportation lines leading
to and from Texas to all the more i'm
pOrtsnt meat markets OF the country, aud
by means Of ships prepared with re!riger-
ating compartments, to the markets OF
the world, the monopoly in live stock
f;eight is broken aud essentially routed
snG done away with. Competition, the
friend of the people, and in this psrticu-
lar, the special friend of the Texas cattle
raiser, has come to the 'front.' to save,
stock interests of Texas. The day Of
dodge" is being tried to avoid war Of
ratee, and to some extent keep up or re
suscilate the old order. To this end
traffic associations are being formed end
pooling agreements entered into, but
they are Of short duration. They come
to -day and go tomorrow. The scramble
for business, together with the frequent
unfair and improper determinations out
cropping from these traffic associations,
render pooling agreements unstable IS
well IS unreliable, and the con-
sequence i5 that rates are con-
stantlY being changed, but all the while
growing Hess exorbitsnt and more in
keeping with Justice, and the stock iu-
terests Of Texas. This tendency toward
decreased rates will increase until SO low
as will render live stock transportation
not profitable. That era is nesr at hand,
and III misteksoly foreshadoWs the ers of
refrigerated meats for both home snd
foreign markets, and renders the present
the suspicious time for the Inauguration
of 3 solid refrigerating business in Texas.

TIE American Banker Is generally pref
~ reliable on questions of faance, but if
the statement contained in the following
clipping therefrom is correct that paper
must have gained its information from
sCErces unknown down this way: "The
severity Of the winter in the vest has re-
suited il an immense amount of damage
to range cattle throughout Montana and
Wyoming. The reports from Nebraska
with regard to damage to stock are more
mesgre than usual, but this is chiefly due
10 the rapid disappearance Of range cattle
from the state, csnsed by the settlement
on the frontier and the occupation of the
ranges by ordinary farmers. The reports
from Wyoming aud the adjacent terrific
Hes indicate that the losses Of stock as
sthe result Of The prevailing severe weather
Will far exceed thoee Of any preceding
season. Last year alone the loss TO Mon
tame cattlemen from storms Has placed at
81 600, 600. This year, II the stories told
OF the widespread starvation OF range est
ale are to be believed, it will greatly ex-
coed the figures last quoted. The disas-
trous losses which nave been caused by
the ipcemeHcy the seasons have,
slready driven into bankruptcy number
Offlrms and companies who believed that
previous exceptional seasons in which
5snoWs were light and the thermometer
high could be taken as sample of what
they could expect for the future"

Ir has been announced by the

personal abuse of the candidates,

SENATOR Chace, of Rhode Island,
proposes to convert the Post Office
Department into machine for con-
Quoting the express business of the
country. His plan for accomplish
ing this is to reduce the post-office
rates for carrying parcels little be-
low the rates which the private ex-
press companies now charge. He
says that in this way some people
would be accommodated whom the
express companies do not reach. So
his real purpose is to benefit few
at the expense Of the many: for this
parcols-post-officc business could
not he carried on without creating
large deficiency every year, which
would be paid out of the common
treasury. If the plan of Mr.. Chace
be a good one, it might be extend
ed to the carrying OF heavy freights
by the Post Office Department, thus
relieving the railroad companies of a
good deal of business. There also
are many people living ten or fifteen
miles from railroad station; if the
Government would deliver their
coal and groceries at minimum
rate it would be a great accommo-
dation to them as we'll as "great
reduction of expense" even though
the public treasury should have to
make up an enormous deficit every
year. The Post Office Department
has already as much legitimate ous-
mess as it can handle, without un-
dertaking the express and freight
transportation business of the coun-
try.
