TEXAS IMMIGRATION.
How the Bureau of immigration was
Treated by the Railroads.
The Much Cussed Map With a Pamphlet on
Texas. Printed in Dallas Sold for
ThiFty-Five Cents.

The Texas bureau of immigration died Of too
much map and too little railroad sympathy. The
mourners are few and far between.-IGszette
DALLAS, TEX, July e
To the Gazette.
Referring to the above paragraph,
permit me to suggest shat ''too much
map did not seriously effect the imm-
grafton bureau. Very few of thoss
maps were distributed outside of Texas.
While the map was not what it should
be 1t was better than no map at all, and
if it had been distributed in the old
states it would have done good. While
it is true some towns, especially Deni-
son, was favored by the map, am one
who would prefer to see Denison bene-
t1ted if other towns and sections of
our state were not. Having no personal
interest in Denison 1 can consistently
say this. The fact is we had better have
people located at Denisou and vicinity
than TO have them locate in Kansas, Ne
braska, Dakota, etc, and the map
referred TO and other similar publica-
tions, if distributed in the old and thickly
settled states, would naturally assist in
calling the attention of home seekers
and capitalists to Texas, but as 1 have
said, the maps did not reach the people
of the old states, hence did no good TO
speak of. We were told that the rail-
roads of Texas would take thousands
of the maps for distribution in the North,
East and Northwest by their agents. We
were also informed that a certain gen.
eral manager of Texas line fully in
n hn nd cai6 90
emigration document - Nevertheless,
it is well known fact that there was
not a copy of the map distributed by the
leading Texas lines. I have 1t from
reliable source that many agents who
represent Texas lines never saw a CODY of
the map while few of them received
one sample copy. Parties who wrote to
the secretary of the Immigration bureau
for information of Texas were informed
by another party that they could secure
the maps referred to with pamphlet on
Texas "all for 80 cents. (The pam
phlet was published in Dallas } Those
who are looking for homes and invest
mems don t have TO buy information Of
other states and territories, aud this Is
furnished free by all sections that want
settlers and capital.
Perhaps this mode of working had some
little to do with the failure OF the bu-
reau. Speaking of the lack of ''railroad
sympathy - certain railroad officials Of
Texas lines not only had no sympathy for
the movement, but they quietly, but
effectively, "knifed'' the efforts made
by the people. Were it not for the oppo-
sItion of certain railroad officials John
Howard would be running the ''Texas
headquarters > in st. Louis to-day.

the magnitude of the fruit, grain and

But one glance through the wide halls

the observer that Texas is to be the
largest producing of all the states. The
day is not far distant when the majority

from the Spring Palace by Texas cannot

A GOOD many people rush around the
country fiourishing their arms and loudly
discussing things they know nothing
about. Just now it is fashionable for
Republicans to advocate law allowing a
pension to every man who served in the
army or navy of the Union during the
late war. Corporal Tanner, having
amended and re-enacted his views on this
subject, now says:
''For years have advocated, on the stump
and at Grand Army camp-fres, the passage by
congress of a service pension BILL giving every
soldier and sailor pension. I am thoroughly
committed to this policy and don't see how
can go back on it, though now that I have be-
come pension commissioner and have looked the
thing up find the service pension bill would
bankrupt the treasury. I'd rather resign than
face the old soldiers after going back on the SER
vice pension bill, and if as pension commissioner
1 recommend that bill to congress III make my
self ridiculous. How am I to get out of it?'

THE INTERNATIONAL ROAD.

Does the International change its schedule to
vex the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, or to harass
the travelling public? If the International cares
nothing for the public convenience or the pub
lie opinion. that road can afford to act as it
is now doing; but meanwhile a public hostility
is gathering strength that in some way viii find
expression. Because the International and
Great Northern is in the hands of a receiver
does not absolve it from its obligations to other
roads, even if it does say in its heart, ''D-n the
public.''
While the people of Tyler are congratulating
themselves that Bonner and Eddy are sustained
by the law as receivers, cannot the people of Ty
Ter use their influence with the International in
behalf of the travelling public? If the Interna-
tional and Great Northern has any to wage
against any other road, it should not be at the
expense of the people who travel.
The above extracts are taken from THE
GAZETTE, and in reply thereto this paper
has received protests from officials of the
road. THE GAZETTE has no desire to mis-
represent any man or railroad, and gives
the statement embodied in the protest to
THE GAZETTE IS paragraphs. The Inter-
national and Great Northern railroad is
an east and west line from Longview to
Laredo, crossing the Houston and Texas
Central at Hearne, Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe at Milano and Missouri, Kansas
and Texas at Taylor, all north and south
lines. Its through time card is con-
rolled by its connections at Longview,
at which point it makes close connection
for New Orleans, Vicksburg, Memphis,
st. Louis, etc., each way, and is obliged
to give the Texas and Pacific its trains at
the hour the latter names, and also take
them at whatever hour the Texas and
Pacific can give them to the international
ana Great Northern These facts, it is
ture of international and Great Northern
passenger trains at all stations on its line
through to Laredo and also Galveston.
The failure to make close connection at
Taylor is charged against the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, which road, it is said,
was promptly notified of the forced
change of time at least three weeks be-
tore the international made it, and
agreed 10 cnange 10 CONNECT Win bne
international, which they have failed
to do.
The International claims to run local
train between San Antonio and Taylor
for the accommodation of its local pat
rons and at daily loss to the company,
and on this local tram it has been haul
ing a Missouri, Kansas and Texas
sleeper for the sole benefit of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas company.
In simple justice to the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas, THE GAZETTE desires to
add that its paragraphs were based on
complaints of people who travel, and no
one in any way connected with the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas has ever COM
municated with this paper on the subject.

a REDUCTION Of Is per cent. in the wages of
workmen employed by Carnegie s. Co., the great
steel and iron masters of Pittsburg, has ended in
a strike, which promises to be long and bitter.
The association of Amalgamated workmen viii
sustain the strikers to the bitter end. The COM
pany don't care Just now, as they expect to put
in considerable time in making repairs, and if
the workmen are not in the humor when the
mills are ready to work. the operations win be
carried on by a set of hands, probably inn
ported. This appears toGbe the Carnegie idea of
protection when no campaign is in progress.

Corpus Compensated.

corpus CuIlsI Caller'
E. F. Furman, commissioner to the
Texas Spring Palace, returned Monday
night, confident that Corpus Christi and
Nueces county viii be amply repaid for
the efforts made to have this section adj
vertised at Fort Worth. At least fifty
thousand people viewed our exhibits and
comphmented the work, and thousands
expressed themselves as intending to
visit Corpus Christi, many or them will
come this fall when they visit San An
tonic, and not few will come down this
summer. The shell church and cocoon

MIR. ROBERT z. PORTER, the high
protective census superintendent, is kept
pretty busy denying one thing and
another that is charged against him. He
writes to the Albany Argus that among
all the experts employed, ''not one rep
resents manufacturing associations. -
Then the Argus tells him what he must
have known before, that Mr. S. N. d.
North, appointed as expert in charge of
wool and wooden goods, draws $4,000 a
year as secretary of the Wooden manu-
facturers association. The long and the
short of it is that Mr.. Porter is going to
cook the census, and he knows it.

Did Not Even oasr to Sell 1t.
Llano Iron News.

fWhen Llano county pockets the
money paid for its lands by men who saw
the county's minerals at the Texas Spring
Palace, it should regret that even one or
two of its citizens were willing to sell the
exhibit and remove it before the Palace
closed. The people Of Llano are honor
able and will not indorse the ungenerous
action. - The foregoing from the Fort
Worth GAZETTE does Two of our promi-
nent citizens, Col. w. T. Moore, Sr :,
and Capt. ]. W, Davis, great injustice
They did not sell, desire to sell, or pro-
pose to sell the Llano exhibit at the
Spring Palace. They merely con-
scented that the exhibit might be
taken to the Dallas fair, but not, as we
understand, until the close of the Spring
Palace. In doing this they did not sup
pose that they were doing anything that
would reflect either on Fort Worth or the
Spring Palace, OF both of which these
gentlemen speak in the highest terms.
As THE GAZETTE has unintentionalIy
done these gentlemen a grievous wrong
the Iron News hopes THE GAZETTE will
make the amende honorable, as il is al
ways anxious to do. In 1890 Llano will
have an exhibit at the Spring Palace that
III truly represent her magnificent de-
posits of minerals and building stone.
The people are just awakening to the
possibilities OF the future.

Philadelubia Record

The progress of Mr.. John L. Sullivan
and Mr.. Jake Kilrain on their South
western jaunt across the country occa-
sions as much public demonstration as
would a like movement of the president
and his cabinet intent on politics or
pleasure. That two eminent bruisers
should fill as large a space in the
public eye as carload of statesmen is
lamentable fact. 1t should serve to show
how valueless thing mere nOtoriety is.
A great man can never expect to attract
to his presence so large a crowd as that
drawn together by great monstrosity.

Deserved Recognition.
Llano Iron News

Fort Worth lost nothing by the gener-
GUS recognition she made of the services
of Messers. Cameron and Paddock, the
official heads of the Spring Palace asso-
citation. To Capt. Paddock was present.
ed a beautiful gold badge, and to
Gen. Cameron an elegant pocket book
filed with 500 bills. Gen. Cameron
was the originator of the Spring Palace,
aud Capt. Paddock, as president of the
association, was mainly instrumental in
making it such a magnificent success.
The laborer is entitled to and should al
ways receive commendation for meritor-
ious work. This applies in every profess
sion and branch of business. Only the
bravest of men can work continuously
without words of encouragement and
appreciation, and employers should give
them without stint when they are de-
served.

THE most foolish movement set on foot
recently is the scheme to induce negroes
in large numbers to go to Oklahoma.
There Is nothing in Oklahoma for the
negro to do, and those who would induce
him to go there are not his friends. The
idea of 100, 900 negroes going into that
territory is utterly preposterous. That
would furnish one inhabitant for every
eighteen acres of land, to say nothing of
the white people already there. The
silly season set in very early and very
viciously this year.

ever was dreamed of, The present,
though far exceeding all expectation,

be but an infant. This one has had such
widespread influence and effect that it
will cause every county in the state to be
represented with the best of everything
that can be found
