U. l.. P. Defined.

Mir. Editor I have recently solved the question that puzzled me so long, to-wit: Why the Republican party changes it's clothes so often. The reason it changes so often is to hide its dirty work l am glad that they have q garment now that fits them the l.. l.. P.-which is mother hub bard. l am glad to say that it is large enough for J. A. Ansley and 0 $ Jones. but the pockets are too shallow for Dr. Norwood, and the tail is too short for r, R. Thomas. Their garment is getting very thin in this part of the county. and unless they change again very soon, the Democrats will snatch them as brands from the eternal burning.

Nr Gould Invited to Consider the Fast
Train Question.
Eumors and Gossip about Mr. Gould's Inten-
lions as to the Pacific Property-The Cot
ton Belt Forecl0sure-General Notes.

NJ. Gould has been in Texas for some times
he has made a thorough inspection Of his rail
road property here; he has no doubt made him
self fully acquainted with what that property
needs; but has he made himself familiar with
what the people need and what they have de-
handed Of the railroads in Texas? For months
and months the CIV has gone out for better and
for faster passenger service TO the East, and it
has been shown that the business Of the roads
and the condition of the tracks Will admit of
and justify such service. But still no answer up
10 this time has been vouchsafed to the very rea-
sonable request, and cattle trains continue to
make better time to ST. Louis and Chicago than
passenger trains do.

The Ticket Agents, Woes.

Talking about nerve" said local ticket
agent the other day, 1.-the railroads have simply
ruined the people here in this town, so that now
they want the earth. Why, in the East a man
goes to a ticket office, gets his ticket and goes
away. Here, however, people expect
the railroad to be messenger boy.
baggageman and hundred other
things. The fact is that there has been so much
competition for passenger traffic OF late that the
roads have got into the habit of doing many
things which the public has no right to demand
at all. Here man buys ticket by telephone
ana tells US to send it up to him at his house
when he might lust as well come and get it him
self, There are fifty people day bowling
through our telephone to find out what time the
trains leave, when they might just as well look
into their parers and find out themselves. The
men come in TO get their checks cashed when they
had much better go to the bank. People with
mileage books want to sell their covers here,
when it is stated plainly on the cover that they
are redeemable only in Chicago or somewhere
else. Then, unless the agent IS always polite
and smooth and suaye and answers all these
fools and maniacs calmly and IN good humor,
why they will fly up and howl that they will
send their freight by some other road. It's q
hard life and no mistake, and the position of
local ticket agent is not what 1t is cracked up
TO be. -

For long time the Texas and Pacific road has

tersive improvements viii be made all along the

there has been no secrecy about
them. His trip along the entire line
has been full Of periods, and at each one he has
made a complete investigation Of everything

IN Fort Worth, on his last visit, he paid particu-
lar attention to the freight depot and the yards,

"JACK THE RIPPER"

The Chicago and Alton is Not the Road to
Stand Any NonkeyinG.
If there is any one road in the country that
will not stand monkeYing, it is the Chicago and
Alton, and it is about time that some of its
weaker competitors found that fact out. The
Chicago and Alton is an old road that has a
long and legitimate development, and it has ad
hered industriously to the theory that little
farm well titled is worth acres and acres
of prairie with nothing but grasshoppers and
gophers on it. This company has charged off
every year large sums for new construction and
additional equipment instead of borrowing the
money with which to pay for them, and it now
has fully ten millions of property which
is not represented on its balance sheet
either by stocks or bonds. It IS, therefore,
in position to demand the observ-
an ce of rates and in case of cutting to make its
expenses on a lower rate than any of its COM
petitors. The Alton has stood the manipulation
of rates by its competitors long enough, and now
announces that 1t VIII pay mileage to shippers
of livestock in common cars. This means that
if shippers are willing for a short distance to put
stock in box cars, which can be used for return
freight they viii be allowed dfferen initial against
the use of livestock cars which necessarily return
empty. Chairman Faithorn would not allow it
and the general manager promptly gave notice
that it would pay the mileage Just the same, and
if the other companies did not like it the Alton
would go out without kicking in the least. The
Alton does not propose to stand any cutting by
any of its competitors If it can help it, and the
sooner that the other Western lines conclude to
play fair the better it viii be for them.

Another Great Trunk Line.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Pettigrew
has introduced two bills as preliminary steps
to the construction Of another great trunk
line to the Pacific ocean. The senator
is one OF the principal incorporators
of the Midland Pacific railway company, organ
lied under the laws of South Dakota, which pro-
poses to construct line from Sioux Falls to the
Pacific ocean, passing through the state of South
Dakota, the territories of Wyoming, Idaho, and
the state of Washington. The road has already
been commenced, several miles of track
being laid west of Sioux Falls
and surveys completed the entire length of the
line. The company intends to finish 100 miles
of road this year. The bill introduced to-day
grants right OF way over the public domain
from the eastern to the western terminal point
100 feet in width, and twenty acres
for each ten miles in length OF
main line for stations, building, workshops,
depots, machine shops, switches, sidetracks
etc. II also gives the use of materials on the
public domain along the way for the work of
construction but it provides that the entire line
must be completed witt. ten years.
The second bill grants a right of way through
Iowa and the Greek Indian reservation in South
Dakota of width of fifty feet, and permits the
company to take stone for use in construction CT
building for road through the reservation
from the land, the secretary of the interior fix
ing the amount of compensation to the Indians.
