sFw,su1yGToN, May 1.-THE news that
g.. .tcbison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
~ has made a new outlet via Galveston
liverpool fOrwestern grain is received
nv the Texas delegation with de-
n r The Galveston people here
IN the seventh heaven
,,,;.s over the vast possibilities thus
q ia and are now pulling every string
opIo,,re q deep water harbor, and thus
70 '' obont all of the export grain from
uN', IN Galveston. AS 1t Is now,
On,-a about half load can be put into
GUY Eats at Galveston, the rest having
lnT Ijgbtened. The people did not think
70 te route would be a dangerous
lil -, hut they are finally -aIakening 70
az, happy fact. In case deep water
.r- is obtained the new route will
-- as much grain as it is capable OF,
les rail rates to the East
w. materially lowered. The most
u s,,,s drawb back is that this route will
s",blaav used for Kansas and Nebraska
" and most of this IS shipped before

autumn. -
MILLS DECLARES HIMSELF.
7, answer to the letter Of the
ra-rersr Alliance of Milan county,
Ta,os asking him to favor the estab-
,,,h,nent of government warehouses for
49, .torare of agricultural products, and
,,.re pDon them treasury notes to the
aytont of eighty per cent. of the value
os,bs Droiucts, Mr.. r. Q. Mills says:
mwbep the government begins TO take
,borre Of the cotton, wheat, corn, oats
and tobacco, it will go on, and in time
bacon, pork, beef, butter, cheese, lard
Iay and all other farm products will de-
nand Of the government to take their
,rrDIus and advance them so per
cent on it; and in periods of manufac-
turing and mining depression, iron,
,,eel. wooden and cotton goods will de-
,nard to be deposited and taken care OF,
and money loaned 10 their owners and so
will coal and ores and lumber. II the
poRy is adopted it must apply to all,
and the power Of those interested in these
nroducts will compel the government to
extend its paterDal care to them.
He adds that the only way in which the
farmer can be helped is by the success Of
the tariff reform for which Cleveland
fought and fell. Regretfully he declines
10 support the Alliance proposition.
In closing ne says:"I am too old to
change the convictions of time. 1
ANA Democrat because l believe the
great sum Of woes which humanity SUI
fers comes from. disregard of Demo-
Crstic principles. I can afford to retire
10 private life, but / cannot afford to
share the guilt of participating in an act
which will bring distress and suffering to
millions of my fellow citizens.

everyone comedies his ability and fitness |
iot The place, but his Republicanism is
sAll to be lukewarm, and many senators |
g-n' out and out Republicans, smacking |
Of craftsmanship.
