COLONIAL COUNCIL
TO r. T, CROIA.
Continued from Avis No. 49,

The Governor: Before the End discussion Of
the Bill comes on, he wished to make 8 few
remarks concerning the way in which even
tually occurring deficits on the small unici-
pal Budgets contemplated on the bill could
be covered. He would beg to point out that,
provided the Municipal budget from the be-
ginning were properly balanced, there would
be certain revenues allotted to the Municipal
Chest which according to the experience from
q long series of good and bad years would on
an average yield q sum equal to that of the
yearly ordinary Municipal expenses in the mo-
ment the new arrangement eventually takes
place. Suchis the intention ofthe Bill, and there
can be no doubt but that it will be so if the
Bill emanate. 1t is a matter Of course that
one year the revenue on some items will be
less, and in the other more ; but it is known
for certain that in the course of time the
revenue calculated on will be obtained. Now
the Deficit on the public Budget could &C.
cur in several ways: one year the Revenue
could fall short of what was calculated on, fl.
the Export Duty might be less, on account
of failure OF crop, but then we know that the
deficit will be covered in the following years,
and there will be no necessity for raising new
taxes on that account it would be sufficient
to raise a loan for the purpose and when
our financial position is based on a SOUND
footing, the Government would always be
able to raise loans on tolerable terms only
the interest will be required, and but for a
time, as money will com in to meet the
amount. On the other hand there is a pos
sibility of our having a good year to begin
with, which would have filled the Treasury ::
take for instance 1889 80; those items of the
Budget Revenue which would accrue to the
Municipal Chest under the altered fnan-
cial organisation have from LIST April to
s7s,Os8sa. or sl7, 76s more than the Revenue
on the Municipal Budget, in Voucher l for
the whole. year and there is a probability

The grading forces on this road are
pushing forward daily, and it will not be
many months until the steel Will be laid

will begin beyond that point. The con-

belt and the finest stock country in the
state. SprIngtown, Jacksboro, Throck-

towns will feel the quickening i'm
pulse of the iron horse and
will develop into good-sized cities. When
completed to Albuquerque and connected
at Fort Worth with the Red River, Fort

the shortest route between the
mouth Of the Mississippi and

will mean to Fort Worth cheap fuel, and
that VIII solve the factory question.
The Albuquerque will not only pass
through the mineral deposits mentioned,

When the general got to talking about

he painted the future of the city in glow

GOULD V

Paris Thinks He Will Build an Individual
Road from Little Rock to Head OF
the Little Rock and Memphis.
Special to the Gazette.
<PARIs, TEX, March 10.-There is a
strong impression here that it is the pur-
pose of Jay Gould to head off the extern
sion Of the Little Rock and Memphis rail-
road to Texas, by building a line of his
own from Little Rock via Hot Springs to
some point in this section. His maneuvers
nave been at least suspicious. He was in
Hot Springs Friday, Il left there Sat-
urday. 1t was announced that he would
reach here at z O'Clock Saturday even
ing, but when that hour arrived it vas
learned that he was It GAINESVILLE, and
woul not stop here at all. In view of
the fact that there nave been a lumber
of secret meetings at Dallas, and a dele
CATION recently went from there to New
York gives color to the impression. If
Gould builds a line from Little Rock to
Texas it will checkmate the Little Rock
and Memphis extension.

A PALACE.
The Nest deliberately Equipped Train Bear

The Nest deliberately Equipped Train Bear
ing Railway Passenger Agents Leaves
Chicago for the City of Mexico.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 10.-At 10
O'Clock this morning the finest and most
perfectly equipped train that capital and
invention ever produced pulled out of the
city of Chicago bearing $50 representa-
tives of the great corporate interests
of the country, and having as
its destination the City of Mexico.
The magnates who are to occupy this
moving palace are general passenger
agents of railroads of the United States,
Canada and Mexico, and their mission
is that of c~ultivating and improving COM
mercial relations between the three
Americas, believing that the locomotive
is the greatest c~ivilizer of the age, and
having more faith in practical energy
than in efforts Of diplomacy. The railroads
themselves have finally attempted what
countless international conferences and
conventions have failed to 90, and it is
fondly expected that the annual conYen-
ton of the American ASSOCIATION of pas
senger and ticket agents to convene in
the City of Mexico March Is will conduce
to the development of the international
EdllIOdu llLSLSSls anu OpGulAS " llS eye
of capital those manifold enterprises now
u~ndeveloped because OF the lack of con-
certed action between the varied inter
ests which must equally contribute to
success.
Each of these invaders of the and of
the MonteZumas is the highest authority
Of his road on various subjects to be con-
sideTed at the coming convention, and
will have full power to represent his
company in the progressive measures to
be adopted. The special Pullman yesti-
buled train, which has been placed at
the disposal of the association by
the Pullman company, consists of bag
gage cars, composite cars containing
bath rooms, barber shop, etc., two din
ing room cars, three Pullman compart-
ment cars, and five Pullman sleepers
with an observation car in the rear. The
lines which this train passes over en- route
to the City of Mexico are the Chicago and
Alton, st. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern, Texas and Pacific and the
Mexican Central. General passenger
agents Of the South and West JOIN the
party at st. Louis.
Railroad lines II Mexico are looking
forward with great interest to the con-
vention and visit of these railroad Off
Gals to their country, n have arranged
a varied programme, which will be as
entertaining as it will be instructive of
the of the country.
At the Mexican frontier the association
will be received by the governor of Chi
and other statesmen of prom
inence, and banqueted at Paso del Norte. |
At the city of Zacatecas again the gov
ernor of Zacatecas will meet the party
with his staff and entertain the visitors
their stay with his state. From
this time forth the programme is one of
reception till their arrival in the City of
Mexico, where the convention meets on
the 18th.

have been SO satisfactory, and people are COM
Ing SO fast that il has compelled the opening
Of additional territory for settlement by the con-
s@tucton Of the Wichita Valley Railway from

entire length, sizty-fve miles, through the
same character Of country as that on the
Panhandle route, in Wichita and Wilbarger
counties, and is Just as available for agricul-
!uT2l purposes. Lands are now to be had at
comparatively low prices, but viii advance rap
idly. Those who come early viii have the best
results from their work and investments. Rec
ords show that this land viii raise thirty to forty
bushels Of wheat per acre, which viii bring
Chicago prices and better, at stations on the
