ZIG R4LLRO4D SYSTElLS.

Charles Francis Adams, one of the best
known men IN the Union, is of the opin-
ion that while railway consultations of
from 5000 to 10 200 miles are now consid-
cred large, the next move viii be systems
of 20 900 miles under one common man
agement. He believes that the inter-
state commerce law is Fastening this end,
but that it would finally come without it.
He also says that a great consolidated
corporation or trust can be held to much
stricter accountability TO the law than
numerous smaller and conflicting ones.
Coming from one of the most statesmen
like if not the shTewdest railroad man in
in the country, all this is very significant
and important Assuming that it Is true
and we do not think it will be contra
dicted, either as to the tendency or the
effect of 1.-THE idea is directly contrary
to that usually held a few years since;
then combinations OF this kind were
deemed inimioal to the public interests.
But, not forgetting the very much
diluted stocks in so many cases, the pub
lie is now generally aware that, on an
average, the railroads of this country
have not been profitable the past year.
This is due to over-constructiou, parallel
lines and ruiuous competition. Still,
the popular fear of trusts aud monopolies
may resent the tendency so apparent to-
ward railroad consolidation, and give an
impetus to the paternalsm of govern
mental control of the roads The gues-
ton seems pending, not whether the con-
solidation shall take place, but whether
it shall be vested in public or private
hands The choice of evils must some
day, and perhaps very soon, be made,
and the best thought of the country is
being directed to its consideration.

WHEN THE GAZETTE, four years ago,
said the only honest lease was an absolute
lease for a term of years, this paper was
called an ''Organ Of the bullionaires. -
The present land commissioner now sug-
gests that: cat present there seems to
be no demand for the purchase of uni
versity lands. Therefore, i'll order to
utilize them for the purpose for which
they have been segregated, it is neces-
sary TO adopt one OF two plans, viz:
Either the rental must be reduced and
the term of lease extended sufficiently to
induce private parties to develop water
and otherwise put these lands in shape
for use, or else the state must provide
the water necessary to make them profit
able and available at the price now fixed
by law. The latter plan is not desirable
even if feasible at all with safety
to the state; hence, it is with confidence
that the recommendation is made that
the rental of the university lands be re-
duced to cents per acre per annum, and
the maximum term of the lease ex-
tended TO ten years.

WIEN THE GAZETTE four years ago OPP
posed an increase in the lease price above
cents, this paper was called an ''organ
Of the bullionaireS. - The present land
commissioner now suggests that the 4
cents per acre in advance now fixed by law
is not the only outlay which the lessee must
make to secure the benefits of his con-
tract with the state. He must fence his
land in order TO appropriate it TO his own
exclusive use, and this involves al outlay
of from, say cents to 81 per acre, ae-
cording to the.area embraced in his lease.
In many eases he also must provide water
by artificial means

Need Revision.
Southeast Texas Tribune.


The Fort Worta GAZETTE has been vlg-
orously agitating two important changes
in the laws of Texas, one to permit eoun-
ties TO bond for road purposes and the
other to increase the facility with which
homes may be acquired on school lands
In both propositions there are able Sec
ond among newspapers throughout the
state, and the legislature will doubtless
meet apprlsed of the general demand. In
the matter of home-seekers, there is good
reason for the proposed change, as it is
impossible for the settler TO secure a home
with cash, and the condition Of the pay
ments is such that he is liable to forfeit
payments and improvements made in case
of failure to meet interest TO the very
day Good men do not like to assume
obligations running through life time i.

AN ENENY OF DEBT.

The Wise county man who is getting up
petition for the repeal of all laws for
the collection of debts is animated no
doubt by a benevolent purpose. Debt,
he doubtless argues, is a social curse; it
is hardly possible TO abolish it without
embracing communism outright, but its
disagreeable features can be removed by
the adjustment of the writs of garnish-
ment, of attachment and of execu-
ton This budding statesman does
not propose, as we understand
it, to do away with the privilege of debt;
it is its penalty to which he is uneom-
promisingly opposed.
1t IS worth while to ask whether or not
the tone of public sentiment is not, to
some extent, responsible for such vaga-
ries as this? Is it not true that the ban
of popular disfavor rests upon the
creditor, that he is regarded
10y portion of the public as tyrant aud
his debtor as n martyr? Fanaticlsm is
usually the full echo of popular demands.
Is it not true that the communistie pro-
posal that comes from Wise county

An EFFORT viii be made at the coming
session of the New York assembly to pass
another ballot-reform measure to take
the place of the act that was vetoed by
Governor Hill The two leading features
of the proposed law are provisions for
making the cost of elections public in
stead OF al individual expense, and for
such secrecy in the casting of votes that
the vete-buyer can not learn whether or
not his purchases have been delivered,
That additional restrictions and safe
guards are needed around the ballot is
conceded by all who care more for an
honest ballot than for party advantage.
Some such measure as is proposed in New
York would be q timely addition TO the
election laws of every state in the Union.

And smoothed it over her temples
While she lay sleeping there.
Twas not of midnight blackness
That enchanted the bards of old;
1t was neither auburn, nor yelioW-pale,
Nor brown, nor FURNISHED gold;
But it was fine and silYery white,
AS soft as soft could be,
a crown from life's pure laurels,
The most beautiful hair to me.
/ held the white hands folded
So quietly on her breast;
They looked almost as if the Lord
Had given the promised rest,
They were not round and shapely,
As a sculptor might wish to see;
They were not fair and snowy
AS some beautiful hands may be,
But they We're drawn ana bent with pain,
Yet beautiful hands to me,
kissed her face, her dear sweet face,
BY patience and love made fair;
The roses and lilies that Beauty loves
Were missing-they We're not there.
But instead were wrinkles woven deep
Where the dimples used to be;
OF all the faces III all the world
The most beautiful face to me.

FORT WORTH AND THE GAZETTE

Waxahachie Democrat: The Fort
/ Worth GAZETTE welcomes the new year
with a splendid sixteen-page edition, got
ten up in elegant style, and makes q
splendid showing of the business enter
| pTises of that growing city whose history
| is outlined from the establishment of the
| post in l849, by Major Arnold, of the
| Second Dragons, and named Fort Worth
| in honor of General Worth of Mexican
war fame. The growth of the city was
slow until the Texas and Pacific Railroad
was completed to that point the 18th of
July, 1876. From that time its Develop
ment has been phenomenal. Twelve rail-
roads from all directions center there,
placing the city in direct communication
with all parts of the state, and its trade
| has grown to be immense. A good sys-
! tenn of waterworks with over twenty
| miles of mains and costing $500, 600 has
| been constructed; and besides there are
! l49 artesian wells affording an abund-
ance of pure soft water, refreshing and
| healthful. Meanwhile manufacturing
| interests have not been neglected. EX
| teusiYe iron and brass foundries, and
| small machine shops have been estab-
| lished and are now in successful opera
| ton. large tannery, WOODEN mills, a
| baking powder factory, vinegar works, a
| beef refrigerator and other similar enter
| pPises have been put in operation Schools
and churches have not been over
locked III the rapid development of
the city. Its public school system is one
of the best in the state, and each denom-
ination of Christians has either already
finished or has in course of erection
handsome and eommodieus church edi-
fee.
The material prosperity of the city is
due to the enterprise of its citizens, and
the exhibit made by THE GAZETTE is not
overdTawn.
THE GAZETTE is one of the best dailies
in the state and is wide awake to the in
terests of Fort Worth, and to its faithful
efforts the progress of the city is due III
no small degree.
The Democrat extends its New Year
greetings and hopes a prosperous year TO
THE GAZETTE and the city it so ably rep
resents.
