rem. If I looked at this question
as some do (and I suppose / would
if my education and association in
life had been like theirs) Iwould do
as they are doing, fight for rRwhat !
conceive to be the right. But i have
been trained and educated ina. diff
ferent school, my association in life
has been entirely different, and my
sympathies are, therefore, with the
struggling, toiling masses, and con-
sequently I am found with and
bound to those in whom / find a fell

This is then the difference, the
mass Of the people and tho majority
OF the people arc for Tillman be-
cause they believe that Tillman is
for them-that hcis in full sympa-
thy with them and their interests.
There arc many other, men in the
State, and among the number there
are some farmers who are Just as
patriotic, just as honest and sincere
and just as competent in the general
acceptance of that word to fill the
position of Governor of the State as
Mr.. Tillman, and they may have
just rs much courage, but they
haven't the same convictions of Mr..
Tilman., Herein lies vast differ
cncc--thcsc men don't, perhaps be-
cause they can't, fully sympathize
with tho farmers and those who arc
the natural allies of the farmers.
Now this might seem to some n
very small matter, and such might
ask what does it matter which one
of these wings rule the State. The
farmers of tho State, or at least
many of thcm, with others in sym-
pnthy with them, have been taught
that there is a great deal involved in
this controversy. Let us sec what it
means The Governor, tho Chief Ex-
ecutive of the State, in sympathy with
the leading and greatest of all inter
ests of the State. All other State Of
ficcrs in sympathy with the same in

MINERAL WELLS, TEX, June 21.--
Yesterday was payday with the Gulf,
Brazos Valley and Pacific railroad, and
all the boys having received their pay
in full for work done on the road their
excheOuers are well filed this morning
and all are as merry as marriage bell.
The finishing touches are now being put
upon the grade preparatory to laying the
track, and the whistle of the locomotive
will be heard in our little city within the
next thirty days. Mr.. Ed j. Gurley is
now in New York, where he is negotiat-
ing for steel rails to complete the road to
the gulf, and after the first ten miles
of the road shall have been completed it
is the intention of the company to prose-
cute the work to completion to the gulf
coast as fast as men and money will
do it.
There is no doubt but that when this
road is built through to deep water it
will be the best trunk line in the state.
1t is reported that work on the Mineral
Wells and Northwestern was begun at
weatherford this morning, but serious
doubts are entertained by our citizens as
to the building of that road, though we
stand ready to aid the enterprise III any
way that the management of the road
might ask of us.

From pakotn to the eulf.

proposed railroad from Bismarck,
N. Oak. to Galveston, Tex, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, is an enterprise of
the first Importance that may, when
realized in the distant future, have q far
reaching effect on routes of trade. 1t
would correspond to the general course
of the Missouri Mississippi river, and
carry to the gulf for export much of the
grain products of the country west of
the Mississippi river that is now brought
to the Atlantic seaboard. For several
years plans of this kind have been shad-
owed. The attempt was made to ship
grain to New Orleans by water, but with
Indifferent success. 1t is SO obviously
desirable, however, for the Southwest to
have relatively short lines to the sea-
board. that Galveston, or some other
Texas port, is pretty sure to be improved
and made place of shipment TO Europe
for products brought to it by lines that
may ultimately extend as far north as

lowed to run their trains before others ;,
despite the fact that they had arrived at
the depot much later. To Trsinmaster
Berry's inquiry whether the superinten-
dent would insist on the new
rule, the latter answered Eyes, -
and he being questioned further as
to their intended dismissal again
replied in the affirmative, whereupon
Berry and Pnsbie handed IN their resig-
nations. AS the news spread like wild
fire through the yards, groups of excited
men gathered together and decided to
stop work until their grievances were
settled. Last evening the matter was
laid before the switchmen, who struck at
once, and subsequent meeting, at
which suburban service men we're repre-
sented, q demand for the removal of Su-
perintendent Russell and reinstatement
of Berry and Pusbie was formulated.
This was presented this morning, and rs
it was not complied with suburban men
joined the strike.
THE STRIKE TO COVER RUSSELL s CONTROL.
1t has been learned that at to-day's
meeting Of the strikers il was resolved
to tie up the road elsewhere. Conse-
quently an order was made extending
the strike over the whole OF the Illinois
Central in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin,
or, as the order reads. wherever Super
intendent Russell has control.

Hall Conntx,s Election.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
SALISBURY, TEX, June 23.-The COM
missioner's court of Donley county met
to-day and canvassed the returns of the
election held in Hall county last week.
An effort was made by the people of
Lakeview TO contest the result, but it
failed. Memphis was declared the coun-
ty site by majority OF twenty-five votes.
The new county starts out under bright
outlook, so far as her lands and crops
are concerned. The action of the people
at the polls, sustained by the commits
sioner's court, however, has placed Its
county site in the extreme northwest
corner at place which, although stu
ated upon the line of the railroad, has
neither depot nor switch. Whether she
will ever get any of these accommodate
tions remains to be seen. Salisbury is
but three and a half miles distant on the
east and Giles about the same on the
west, both of which points have all the
necessary railroad facilities. A lawsuit
is threatened to compel the railroad COM
pany to put in depot and switch. This
fact will have q tendency to unsettle
property values in the county for some
time, but its natural resources, unsur-
passed by any other portions of the Pam
handle, will bring her out all right in
time.

TICKET COMMISSIONERS.

A Fier.s Passenger Rate War Brewing Be-
tween the Trunk Lines.
The paying of commissions is again
making trouble between the trunk lines.
The Trunk Line association has o stand
ing rule that its members shall not pay
commissions OH the sale of tickets At
the meeting on Tuesday last charges
were banded back and forth that some
of the lines were not living up to this
rule; that some of the ticket scalpers
were being openly supported by these
roads, and it was stated that the market
was being flooded with tickets at cut
rates through this method of operations
The alleged offending roads strongly de-
MED the charges, but the denials, ac-
cording TO reports, were not accepted in
good faith, and it is said that system of
espionage has been inaugurated, which
does not promise well for the future, as
il does not promote harmony or p1ace.
Passenger men in high position are of
the opinion that passenger rate war,
more fierce than the one just ended by
the Western roads, is inevitable between
the trunk lines.
