The railroad committee nave resolved
to fill the subscription, and it ought to
be filled in two days, or as soon as
prop .rty owners and business men can
be seen It has been talked OF and
written about enough. The great trou :
ole is. that it is left for few to carry. A
sub committee of the railroad commit
tee spent three or four hours last Fri
day writing down names and Apo ton
ing to eacn, as well as they could, his
fair share And although they missed
so ne. going neither to the assessment
lists nor to the directory, their list ex-
ceeded 500 900. II all would subscribe
as literally as some do. in proportion to
to their interest in the city,
MILLION DOLLARS COULD BE RAISED.
Atits meeting yesterday the railroad
committee appointed sub-committees
and divided the work b tween them,
and Monday morning they intend to
begin the canvass and cease not till the
$3.50, 900 is subscribed Denver has
built herself up from little prairie-dog
town in just this way. Her business
men and property owners subscribed
and paid $1,000 900 to the Gulf road and
10000 people have been added to her
population in one year in consequence.
Certainly we do not want to take
Leavenworth, but rather Kansas City,
for a model in this respect. A great
many decline to subscribe because they
are interested in the Utah Central. But
this road, for 500 miles at least, can no
more compete with tine Utah Central
than the Oregon Short Line does,
and meanwhile the general business of
the town and country west will have
been so increased as to greatly aid the
Utah Central. 1t is too late, or too
early, to endeavor to con6ne ourselves
to one road for fear others will IN
jure it. 1t is like the old settlers who
objected to any road because it would
injure freighting by wagons. Expert
ence has demonstrated hundred times
that the mere rCaCs there are the
more the resources of the country are
d developed, aid the more business there
Is for all the roads.

THE GREAT BASIN

is not singular in this respect. With
200 miles the start, and running for
-fourths of the dist anoe through
a region entirely beyond its reach, the
Utah Central people who live in this
city ought to be among the foremost
supporters of the Deep Creek road.
This. however, will be paid back di-
rectly to the subscribers. dollar for
dollar, when the enterprise gets we'll
started, if the subscribers so desire.
The directors will be our own citizens,
and may be trusted to look out for this
IN any event. If subscribers prefer to
stay III, they will receive the equivalent
of their money in stock or bonds repre-
senting ownership in the property. 1t
is not q donation that is asked. Value,
in some form, will be rendered for the
money. Among the indirect benefits
will be the expenditure of 50 500 COO in
construction, the new life this will put
into existing business, the attention it
will attract It will be worth
more in advertising than all the
Chamber of Commerce can do
in that line in five years.
1t will inspire confidence at home and
abroad, and faith is the only miracle
worker. 1t is but the beginning of
system of road building west that Will
make this city the entrepot and dis
tributing point of two States instead of
one; that will double its wealth and
population in a short time; that will
quintuple
THE oRE-REDUCING BUSINESS
of this valley; that will draw business
from all the vast region west, south
west and northwest to tide water; that
will make a market for our products of
farm and factory.
1t is perhaps critical moment in the
history of the city. Attention we have
already drawn, but men and money are
waiting to see if we ourselves really
have faith in a great future for our
much lauded and boosted city. If we
are equal to our position, our claims
and our opportunities, now is the time
to show it. Let our people meet the
canvassing committees half way, and
the thing is done. Failure, now, is not
to be thought of. 1t would be
equivalent to flying the track in race
already on. We are in a sense COM
mitted to this enterprise. To let it fall
through would be to advertise, that,
great as our advantages confessedly
are, we are not the men to make a
town. And men must make the town,
if it be made. Nature makes only the
country. o. J. HoLLIsTER.

GOOD SUGGESTION.

The recent meeting of the South
western Texas immigration associa-
ton in this city has revived interest
in immigration circles, and the recent
action in congress looking to the care
full supervision of foreign emigrant
lists by American consuls in Euro
pean and Asiatic ports has coupled
this question of immigration into
Texas very closely with the matter of
foreign immigration to these shores.
To the thoughtful mind the necessity
of restricted immigration is very ap-
parent and it does seem that the
most feasible method will be by con-
sular supervision. Converslug on
this subject very recently with
representative republican from
southeastern Texas he remarked at
length upon the great good to be de-
rived from close consular inspection
of immigration by our foreign cOnsuls,
and called attention to the necessity
of selecting such consular agents as
were familiar with the people to
whom they were accredited. This
gentleman was of opinion that our
consuls in the ports of Great Britain
and Central Europe should be chosen
with special reference to the acquaint-
ance of such consuls with the Ian
guage and character of the people of
those countries, from which SO large a
proportion of our immigration came.
In this connection he referred to the
brief mention made in the LIGHT a
few days since of DR.. Max Urwitz, of
Houston, as a gentleman urged for a
European consulate and said that DR..
Urwitz was peculiarly fitted for such
a position in view of consular
supervision of immigration; that
the Doctor was not only a
native of Germany and so
acquainted with its language, a grad
uate of German university and so
acquainted with it's literature, but
that he was a close student of the in
dustrial condition Of central Europe,
had edited paper there for six years
prior to coming to America; and also
remarked that such man as DR..
Urwitz would be of genuine service
to this country in that capacity. This
much is certain, the necessity of just
such qualifications as DIR. Urwitz is
accredited to possess, is very apparent
if our consular agents are to reckon
among their duties the supervision of
emigration lists.

Meeting of Woolmen.

A meeting of Western Texas Wool
growers is called to meet in San An
tonic March LIST. The subject to be
discussed will be the absence of sta
tistical information on the supply and
demand of wool, the great diversity
of commercial terms applied to the
same grades of wool in the different
states and the necessity of concentrat-
ing the markets in the state of Texas.
Propositions will be made to establish
a bureau for the dissemination of wool
statistics, to appoint committee for
the uniticatiOn of commercial terms
and to confer with eastern wool buy
ers on the authority of their first con-
centrating in San Antonio, and bid
ding for the wool shipped to this
market, then at Galveston and then
at other established wool centers. 1t
is claimed that this plan will be much
preferable to the present one of buy
ing at twenty or thirty scattered and
inconsiderable points throughout the
state. The commission merchants of
Galveston and other cities will be
urged to have strong representation
present.

A HERO'S LIFE.
How General Mackenzie Won His
HonorS and Command of This
DEPARTMENT.

How General Mackenzie Won His
Honors and Command of This
Department.
Ex-Commodore II. w. Miller, u. s.
N, of Morristown, n. j., sends
his mutual friend, Mr.. ]. Duryee
Stevenson, of this city, copy of the
"True Democratic Banner" of Nor
ristown in which the gallant commo-
dore gives an interesting sketch of
the late General Ronald Slidell
Mackenzie, at one time in command
of this department, who died i'm the
asylum in New Brighton, Staten Is
land, on the 10Th OF January in the
forty eighth year of his age. The
LIGHT regrets that it has not space
to republish the article but from it
the following interesting facts are
gained.
General Mackenzie graduated at
West Point, in 1862, was assigned to
the engineers corps and sent to the
Army of the Potomac. In two months
he was brevetted for gallant and
meritorious services at the battle of
Manassas, Va, where he was seri-
ously wounded, a mimic ball passing
through from the right to left
shoulder. After q brief rest he was
again in the fight, and in March, 1868,
he was made brevet captain for gal
liant service at the battle of Chancel-
lorville. At Gettysburg he was made
brevet major for the same cause.
Grant then recognized his gallantry
and ability as an engineer, and gave
him command of a regiment. In 1864
he was in the battle of the Wilderness
and was there wounded, but he
| nt thn
head of his regiment before Peters,
burg, where he gained the brevet
rank of lieutenant-colonel. He was
sent with Sheridan to chase Early
and was at the battles of Opequan,
Fishers Hill and Cedar Creek In
the last battle he was again wounded
and he was made brevet-colonel.
Later on, October, 1865, he was made
brigadier general of volun teers and at
Five Forks he was in the front with
Sheridan, who soon after commended
him as 1.-The best cavalry officer in the
army" Now came his promotion as
brevet major general of volunteers "for
gallant and meritOriOus services in
the war." When the volunteer SER
vice was mustered out he was
made colonel in the regular army
and at the head of the And cavalry
did special and effective services on
the Mexican frontier. In 1882 he was
made brigadier-general, and soon
after appointed to command of this
department. In 1884 he became in
sane from the effect of his hard SER
vice and overwOrk, and was retired,
being placed in a military insane
asylum.
Mackenzie's war record was bril-
liant. He was a bold and dashing
officer, but he was gentleman, ex-
hibiting a remarkable beauty and
| tenderness of character, blended with
that of true patriot. His many
friends in Texas, who have sympa-
thized with him IN his insanity,
will regret his untimely death. 1t lis
sad commentary on humanity, that
such a brilliant career should have
such a sad ending.

A CoWardIy Assault.

One of Callaghanis special police
used abusive and insulting language
to young gentleman at the Elite sa-
loon last night because he was speak
ing in favor of the Reform ticket. The
young gentleman resented the insult
by slapplng the Callaghan bully in
the face and was proceeding to give
him a good thrashing, when Officer
Massey rushed in and grabbed the
young RefOrmer and held him, and at
the same time allowing his antagonist
to pick up a bottle and strike him in
the face, infiicting painful wound on
the cheek. The special officer was al
lowed to walk off and was not arrested
until the demands of a number of by
ISLANDERS and witnesses compelled the
policeman to do so. Things have come
to pretty pass in San Antonio when

Negro Murderer Hanged.

Ross, colored, was hanged at Bran

being asked if he had anything to

word" The rope was then cut and the
drop fell. In 20 minutes life was ex-
tinct and the body was cut down and
turned over to Jas. H. Rollins, medi-
cal student, to whom Ross had be-
queathed it. The crime for which
Ross was hung was the murder OF

Experiment Played Out.

CHICAGO, Ills, February S.-The
new method of charging for live stock
per hundred pounds, instead of per
carload, inaugurated by the western
roads January first, has proved an
expensive experiment. The action of
the Kansas commissioners ordering
railroads in that state to cease weigh
ing aud charge freight per carload,
as formerly, will cause the abandon
ment of the new scheme at all points.
Orders were issued last evening, tina t
owing to the refusal of the Kansas
railroad commissioners to change
their decision, cattle rates at Kansas
points must again be made per car
load. While this does not compel the
railroads to stop weighing cattle at
Kansas City and other posts east of
the Missouri river, and make rates
per one hundred pounds, yet the fact
that the Missouri Pacific and st. Louis
and San Francisco run from Kansas
points to st. Louis, south of Kansas
City, and consequently cannot have
their cattle weighed at Kansas City,
necessitates the discontinuance of the
new actual weight scheme as far east
as st. Louis. An effort will be made,
however, to continue the new system
east Of st. Louis, and between Omaha
and Chicago. A meeting is to be held
in Chicago next week to discuss the
matter
