thing may be credited to that fact
when a figure is described and
admired far away: but it can never
be denied that Daniel Webster was
a wonderful man. M. Dyer says:

are in store for the commonwealth!
Again, Mr.. Hogg says;
The International and Crest Northern railroad
was placed In the hands OF receiver IN the
Federal court at Austin, and in 1879 was sold to
satisfy an established existing indie btedness
The purchasers bid and paid for the road at that
sale, as shown by the records, the ronnd sum OF
81, coo. 900. AfteTward il was extended westward
from Austin to Laredo, distance of 235 miles:
For this extension the company authorized and
issued bonds in the sum OF SO 900 to the milo or
in the aggregate 81, 700, 600. This amount, added
IS, 700. 600, was therefore all that was legiti-
mate outlay by the purchasers OF that road; yet
by some sort Of ni-uble- fingered manipulation or
that gentleman whose ''interviews' are going
the rounds in Texas, they issued $40, OoOs COO OF
stocks and Sl;, 900 900 of bonds.
Had Mr.. Hogg consulted the records
and betrayed the same anxiety to obtain
and give publicity TO the facts IS be does
to make case against the railways he
would have stated that the purchasers
who paid "the round sum of 81 900 .00O'
for the International and Great North
ern railroad. took the property subject to
q funded debt of $40 ,34S 900, besides the
outstanding receivers certificates, aud all
other floating debt. The assertion that
this valuable property, extending from
Houston to Palestine and thence to Aus
tin, sold for 81 900, 200, free of all in-
is too absurd for serious con-
and will if rightly considered,
have tendency with the public TO re-
ceiye Mr.. Hogg's utteranoes, cum grano
sails.
Other statements of the attorney-gen-
eral are open to criticism, but this wilt
suffice for the present.

seFts that the wemen's administration
'has been rs good as the bsst aud much
better than the average. They have
shown great flrmness, and decided dis

life. They retire with the good will Of
large majority OF the people," When
thnss women took hold of the municipal
government year ago the city was IL

money in the bank. With improved
finances, improved streets and improved
morals. IT Is in position to testify to the
value of ''petticoat government.
Other cities in Kansas have reason to
be thankful this spring that women have
the right to vote at municipal elections.
Their ballots were given to the best can"
didates in almost every Instance. Though
oskaloosa has reluctantly said farewell
to its 'alderEomen, the city of Ed
gerton has chosen complete set Of female
officers, after hotly contested fight.
During the coming year its mayor will be
Mrs. W. H. Kelley; IFS police justice,
Mrs. Thomas Greer; It's -oouncilmen,
Mrs. S. F. Ewart, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs.
Holden, Mrs. Nat Ross and Mrs. Brown.
Probably they will follow the example of
their sisters in Oskalooss aud add to the
glory of their sex by demonstrating the
value of municipal government run by
women power.

Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, Tex, April 2S.--Construo-
ton on the Van Egas, Matichuaha and
Rio Verde railway, running 800 miles
east from Van Egas on the line of the
Mexican National railway, between Sail
tillo and San Luis Potosi, will begin in q
very short time. The Van Egas line was
built some time ago to Matiehuaha and
Cedral, distance of thirtv-f1ve miles.
and at the time of its construction was
only intended as a road to tap the r1oh
mining country tributary to Cateree,
where the richest silver mines in the re-
public OF Mexico are to be found. Re-
Gently the line was purchased by Mr.. G.
T. Cook of New York, who has secured
for the extension of the line to a
junction with the San Luis and
Tampico branch of the Mexican
Central Rio Verde. one of the most
liberal subsidies from the government
ever granted to any railroad corporation
building lnie in Mexico. The Van Eaas
line is at present a narraw gauge, b ut
the extension of the lins from Cedral to
Rio Verde will be standard gauge. The
line passes through one of the richest
portions Of Mexico, the resources of
which have as yet not been de-
veloped. The short lin now handles
about 10, 200 tons of ore per month, be-
sides an immense amount of ixtle, hides.
fruits, etc. The line will pass through a
heavily timbered section, and it is pro-
posed to baild,up large lumber business
there. The Sonay for the construction
of the line has already been raised in
London and New York.
