When it Is taken into account the suspen-
sion OF the two lodges. and the loss Of mem
bership resulting therefrom. II will DO sceL
that the net gain Is a little better than the
preceding year, and that our order Is making
a steady gain.
While the net gain or profits are the re
spectacle sum Of s496.0o. they are not what
the gain might bave been, but for the fact
that, at the Gardiner session, a resolution
was adopted, authorizing the Grand Keeper
OF Records and Seal 10 furnish each lodge
with q complete set Of bound journals. This
order has been carried out this year, every
lodge having been furnished with three vol
umes at an expense of about $500.
With the single exception OF the lodge at
Bethel, think can well say that the lodges
10 this jurisdiction are In as healthy condi-
tion and the interest as good as at any time
In the history Of the order In this State. The
prospect for the coming year looks bright.
and we may look for as large an Increase the
coming year as In the past. II was my In

ancient lineage. Ten years ago, when
he was about twenty mine years DID, he
succeeded to the earldom. In 1885 he
was created an earl of the United King

in 1882 he went on a special mis-

of MIR. Gladstone, who had not then al
lied himself with Mr.. ParnelI. Lord Fife

Ills IT rHEET9

The News is in receipt of handsomely printed
and well prepared pamphlet from the press of
John A. Lowell & Co., Boston, devoted to an
calculation of the plans and purposes OF the
Brazos river channel and dock company. The
work contains some valuable statiscal informa-
ton touching the resources of the state Of Texas
and the necessity for deep water outlet on the
gulf coast. There is no doubt whatever that the
managers and board of directors of the Brazos
river channel and dock company are very much
in earnest in the work before them. in the sue
cessful completion of which the people of Texas
and of the Southwest will wish them all manner
of good luck and good speed. When the Eads
proposition was before congress some
years ago looking to the improve
ment of Galveston harbor, the News
originated and presented chart or diagram.
drawn on circular and straight lines, showing
comparative distances between the ports of Gal
weston and New York from a number of points
within the territory naturally tributary to the
Gulf of Mexico. This chart or diagram the en-
terprising authors of the Brazos river channel
and dock company pamphlet have done the
News the honor of bodily appropriating, merely
changing the straight lines on the chart from
G alveston to the mouth of the Brazos river. The
News is always happy to furnish ideas to indi-
viduals or corporations seeking deep water on
the coast of Texas, and the News is consequently
pleased to know that the Brazos river channel
and dock company had sense enough to steal its
chart without crediting the News in any way
whatever, or paying for the brain work.-[Gal-
weston News.
THE GAZETTE s. information Is that the
Brazos river, channel and dock company
employed Rand, McNally s. Co. to get
it; and the firm took a map of the
United States and made the one hun dred
mile lines to conform to the Brazos.
1t is something, however, to have the
News good wishes. Once it was coal
weston or nothing If Texas waits on
deep water for Galveston, it is likely to
be Galveston and-nothing.

WILLIAM O'BRIEN, who is the real

the new organization which is so much
dreaded by the Tories. erich Irish
landlords and English aristocrats have
dubbed together to overwhelm by force
Of money and coercion the body of ten
ants, upon the justice of whose claims
they dare not take the Judgment of any
dlspassionate tribunal. Smith, Barry
and Col. Saunderson have asserted that
every Irish landlord has right to COM
bine with every other landlord for that
purpose. All that the new organization
claims is that the tenantry shall exercise
the same right of combination to prevent
the determination of tenants whose
claims the landlords dare not submit to

4 ROAD TO THE NORTHWEST.


THE GAZETTE has not been silent upon
the subject of railroad from this city to
the northwest through any lack of in
teFest, but it has waited for those to
speak who were said to be charged with
the building of the road; they have all
spoken now, and there is no injunction
to silence upon anyone.
Yesterday IS GAZETTE contained inter-
views with Messrs. w. s. Pendleton, the
attorney of the Fort Worth and
Albuquerque, and NJ. c. Hurley, who
has an option on the franchises and prop
erty of the company. Mr.. Pendleton
plainly says he does not believe the old
company can be depended on to build
the road. This is in confederation of
statements made by other members of
the company in the Evening Mail.
Mr. Hurley is convinced that the road
ought to be built and he has an option
of sixty days on the chance of
building. it; but careful reading of his
interview fails to reveal any guarantee
InaC FORT w OrIn is nearer the accom-
5phshments of its desire o-day than when
it subscribed $40, 900 to the road four
months ago.
AS THE GAZETTE reads the situation,
Fort Worth has no promise of this road
that will justify it in waiting sixty
days. or thirty days, or one day, and
there is but one of two things to do:
If the people of Fort Worth
realize the imperative need of this
road, they Must meet and organize a
movement to build it-and they must do
this at once. All the members of the
old company agree that they will not
stand in the way.
If the people of Fort Worth do not
want the road, let them announce the
fact and have done with fruitless agita-
ton
The road to Jacksboro means cheap
coal and the maintenance of the union
between that section and Fort Worth.

Mr.. NJ. c. HURLEY is a railroad builder
and very excellent man, and he has an
option for sixty DAYS on the Fort Worth
and Albuquerque road properties. But
the best that Mr.. Hurley can say is, he
has "a reasonable hope of being able to
build it; - and then Mr.. Hurley adds that
he twill not stand in the way of any other
corporation that will build this road. -
For some years Fort Worth has had Urea
sonable hopes'' of securing this road >,
and they have all gone glimmering until
only one man is left who has reason
able hope and that gentleman con-
fesses the weakness of his hope when ne
says anybody else can take the job that
wants it, or words to that effect. If the
people want this road there is but one
thing TO do, and that is TO get together
and build it. The road is needed, and
there are men in Fort Worth who can
build it. Why delay, when delay is
peril?
