BUILD THE ALBUQUERQUE,

I Z
To the northwest OF Fort Worth lies as
rich and fertile a section as can be found
IN Texas, a section of small grain, cot
ton, livestock, mineral wealth aud d lily
increasing population aud section with
out railroad facilities. II Fort Worth
should build the Albuquerque this city
would complete the iron ties that bind it
70 Northwest Texas TO the confusion OF
all attempts to divorce the two. Aud
Fort Worth should build this road If it be
possible to the energy and money of the
city.
The construction of the Albuquerque
road is opposed by certain railroads
running into Fort Worth. 1t is to the in
terest of these roads that no rival peue-
trate the rich territory of Jack, Throok-
morton, Young, Jones, Haskell and
other counties of Northwest Texas.
These roads care nothing for Fort Worth;
they do for this city what they do for any
often much less; they would protect
their own interests by preventing another
outlet from this city. Fort Worth is
nothing to them as compared with their
own monopoly of the field, and no man
should find fault with such display of
human nature.
What Fort Worth should not do Is TO
lend aid and comfort to railroads in eff
forts to retard the growth of this city
and what Fort Worth should do is to
build this new road to the northwest.
Coucede to the opposing roads their
right to be selfish at the expense of Fort
Worth, but build the Albuquerque
Fort Worth need expect 1aVors from
any road running into 1t, and the city
has nothing to gain such hope. Taffy
has been fed to Fort Worth by the rail-
roads in chunks that nauseated,
and this city may depend upon it that
the only way to compel the respect of
the roads is to build up the city. II the
people of Fort Worth would build and
operate the Albuquerque thirty miles
they could find way to extend the
line, and the construction of thirty miles
to the northwest would forever make OF
this city the entrepot of the western half
of the state so far as railroad facilities
could do 1t.
There is no time TO be lost in this effort.
Put none but Fort Worth men on guard
tonight, and go to work.

is no logic in it. He merely does not see

more logic in trading with the

If Mr.. Blaine Ind argued that We should
exchange manufactured wares for South
American sugar, wool. hides, indigo,
etc. on reciprocal terms. he would be
logical in the true sense of the word.
But that is not the sort OF logic that tells
among The grangers, aud his appeal is TO
them just now. Logic is not what Jim

BLAINE s BROADSLDE.

The "greatest living statesman
opened the campaign Friday At Water
| Vile, Me. Only one topic was discussed.
He confined his speech en- rely to the
| question Of reciprocity, and evidently
sought to mako 1t the keynote of the
| campaign. Nothing whatever new or
original escaped him 1t WIS the came
story we have heard time and again for
the past two or three months. Nothing
striking appeared such as he gave Ut
| terunee to when he said that the Me-
Kinley bill does not enable the American
farmer "to find market for
single bushel of wheat or bar
rel of pork or when he said
| that tfriendly barter is the highest
FORM of protectiou.' He did say, how
ever. that "the Inevitable tendency Ia
towards an enlargement of the free
list" That statement is both important
and true, important because OF the
Source, and true because it is selt-evi-
dent. It is statement that will make
]
vince, and groan in spirit. 1t proves
| that Blniae has caught the drift of popu-
lar sentiment, and is trimming his sails
10 20 with it. In other words, it an
uounces his purpose to enter the race for
the presidency and rings the death knell
of Harrison 8 hopes.
