This cut has been threatened ever since
the Burlington and Northern inaugu-
rated the passenger rate war in the
Northwest territory. at that time the
Milwaukee promised to cut The rate to
Kansas City to $40 irst-class fare and So
serOud-class, but for some reason 1t
never did SO. The Milwaukee lie in an
excellent position to begin a fight on pas
sengPr business, for, since its entrance
into Kansas City, it has not entered into
competition for the passenger traffic, and
although it can make the rates between
Kansas City and Chicago, IL will lose
nothing even If the fare is reduced to 80
cents, the figure 1t has reached in former
rate wars. The Milwaukee runs but one
train day between Chicago and Kansas

good time as any ceaer day train. 1t
runs no night train and makes no pre-
tensions of fast time.
The rate made by the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul will have TO be met
by all other Chicago ana st. Louis lines,

DEMAGoGY AND DEMAGoGY .

immigration to the state, say few Of
his nou-reasoning opponents. What
balderdash! The people of Texas will dis
tinctly remember when Hogg knocked
out' the trust known as the Uuder-
writer's association of Texas there was
great fear expressed by some of the
prominent anti Hogg papers that the ill.,
suranee companies would leave the state
in h0dy. '1he Dallas News seemed at
that date to think such d result, so dtiri-
mental 10 the commercial interests of tine
state, probabls. Not they! They never
do, as people posted on that subject
know. Invoking the laws to protect the
people against railway usurI alton, as
was HOgg's duty, has not killed single
railroad enterpr ST nor deferred the
building of any single contemplated mile
of track. Talk about demagogy, talk
of this kind is the rankest kind of dema-
gogy.

Austin Globe: If the opponents of

asserting that his popularity was on the

Smith of Fort Worth. He has been the
leading spirit in developing Fort Worth

velOping Texas. This Is day OF pro-
gress and of progressive ideas, and we
should have progressive men at the head
of affairs. The. day Of political hacks
has passed, or should be. Business men
should be brought to the front. Men
who not only have the interest of the

Henderson Times: Roger G. Mills will be
nominated and elected to congress this year.
He will not be candidate for the same place in
1871 but will be candidate to succe d John II.
Reagan in the United States senate. Mr.. Rea-
gan will not be 8 candidate to succeed himself -
lBclton Journal.
Mills would make great senator, and
IL would be fitting for him TO crown his
political career with that office, as Mr. .
Reagan lie now doing; and as Texas con-
tains so many great aud good men, and
that but few OF them can serve as United
States senators at best, ii would be q
splendid rule for the Democrats of Texas
to establish that no man shall henreforth
ever hold that Office more than one term
Reagan and Coke should be retired, and
after Mills serves one term, if he should
be so lucky as to be elected, he should
follow them, aud thus the Office should
rotate.
