Advice to the Railroads.

FORT WORTH, lex, July 1, 1889.
To the Gazette.
1t is a well known fact that the chief
owners and controllers of our Texas rail-
roads pay very high salaries to their
managing officials, hoping thereby
to secure the highest grade of
administrative ability. When Fort
Worth, as the agent or servant
OF the state of Texas, made a request of
the Texas railroads, that it was evident
would result to the mutual benefit of
these railroads and the state of Texas, it
was refused. The result has proved that
the state of Texas was right and the rail-
road officials were wrong, and tn at the
Texas railroads have not procured that
high grade of ability in their managers
justified by the high salaries paid. In
business, like ball playing, the hits,
catches and runs count, and not the
misses. We love our railroad managers;
we love Texas better. We may be blind
to their faults, but when not unjust TO
Texas. When they would be unjust to
Texas or Fort Worth, it is best that they
fortify their weak points. A CITIZEN.

Wichita, Kan, secured the influence
of prominent railroad officials by having
them personally interested in the town.
Special rates were made for Wichita and
it was doomed in every way possible.
This same Wichita had the advantage of
all other towns in that section of country
The people of other towns and sections
finally had their eyes opened and gener-
al kick was made The result of the pro-
test is that the other towns have BRen
placed on an equal footing with Wichita,
but she has got such a start by being 80
favored that she will hold it.
The situation in Texas is similar to
that in Kansas Dallas has been the
''pet' of the railroad officials of Texas.
The people of Texas, especially those of
Fort Worth, have finally seen the situa-
ton and they are about TO ''kick, - and
may get relief, but l am Of the opinion
if anything is accomplished they will
have to t'side track the 'sCheap John
politician and the railroad lobby, bet
ter known as the third house. The
members of the third house and their
''mouth peiees'' will be at the Dallas
freight convention in full force, and the
Dallas News, always the defender of
railroad action, will be ready to antagon-
ize any man that doesn t talk to suit its
bosses-tbe railroad officials.

CONCESSIONS FOR KANSAS TOWNS.
Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
TOPEKA, KAs., June 28.-There is general sat-
isfaction among the cities of Kansas over the
prospect of securing Missouri river rates on
transportation over the railroads of the state
in accordance with the order made by the state
boagfl OF railroad commissioners in the Wichita
case. Manager J. F. Goddard of the Santa Fe
system announced to-day that his road had con-
cluded to take this action. ''We have detea-
mined,'' he said, Ito voluntarily extend the
rates to all large towns in our territory and Mr.
White has been instructed to take the matter uD
in the special Trans Missouri association meet
ing now being held IN Chicago, and to secure
united action upon the part of railroads of the
association.
The association is at work. among other things
uponthe Wichita tariff. which will go into eff
feet promptly on the lst of July, the time recon-
Inended by the board of railroad commissioners
in the recent decision. Manager Goddard said
that the places to receive the benefits OF the new
portant points in the state where the business or
prospects justified it. The rates granted 20
Wichita are upon first, second. third and fourth
class freight shipments out in job lots in less
than carload quantities The average reduction
in rate is about 20Per cent.
Its direct and immediate effect is to put job
bers and wholesalers land viii put the other
towns of Kansas when the same rates are ex-
tea9ed to them upon footing to compete with
Kansas City, st. Joseph and other Missouri
towns in Kansas and southwestern territory and
viii encourage the building up of a wholesale
business in this state.
The Rock Island officials say that they favor a
voluntary extension of the Wichita tariff to an
important points IN the state, and the Union Pa
cific claim that they not only favor such a step
but they have actually taken the initiative aud
their line without waiting for the associations
