AS to House Bill No. l6, entitled.
AN act requiring railroad corpora
tions 10 fence their tracks" After
giving other vital reasons for his OBJ
jections, his message closes with these
words:
The provisions Of this bill render II
necessary for a railroad company to fence
Its tracks within ninety days. With the
present demand for labor, and with the
consequent probability that no railroad
company could secure an adequate
amount of material and labor within thi,
Tine the operations of this bill would re-

ties OF the law without fairly allowing
the corporation an opportunity of com
plying with the provisions of this act

claim be sustained it will practically

other way. His prophetic vision was at
fault. Naturally party which has
record made up for the most part of
blunders and crimes delights in tracing
family relation to a great man, no
matter what the point of consanguinity
may be. The especial championship of
state rights, which was simply the cen
trifugal side of the two great forces
recognized as necessary to our complex
system of government in the days of
jefferson, became, under the operation
of the democracy of thirty years ago,
an attempt to destroy the government
Every time the democratic party, from
that cay to this has attempted to shield
itself behind the great name of Jeffer-
son it has offered wanton insult tn his
memory. - sH
Mr.. Cleveland's speech, stripped Of
all vcrbiage, was merely this: Renom-
mate me for president in 1892 on a free
trade platform. The protection wing
of the party and every democrat who
is opposed to me is a traitor in tho
camp. That is the sum and substance
of the address He closed his remarks
by return to the attack of his person
al opponents. These men, whether
Dana, Watterson, Pugh or other demo-
Gratis who say he ought not ta he nom
mated again, are guilty Of stirring up
strife and sowing discords in the coun-
sells of the party, and that often from
the worst of motives. So completely
does he fill his own eye that he can see
nothing beyond himself, nor distinguish
between a personal opponent and what
he is pleased to stigmatize as TRAITORS
sl1ulking in our camp"
There have been a good many express
sions within the last two or three
months as to Mr. Cleveland's candidacy
which have been very prejudicial. I'm
mediately after the elections of last
| fall he enjoyed boom and seemed in n
| fair way to win the nomination without
a struggle, but reaction has set in.
This reaction is by no means confined
in it's avowed opposition to his inter
F! ference in the silver controversy. Other
objections are urged. As matters now
stand the solid south seems to be solidly
opposed to him. Hill cannot be said to
have grown in favor. His clinging to
| the governorship after his election to
| the United States senate has materially
handicapped him as presidential can
didate, and General Palmer's identifi-
cation with the split in Chicago has
ruled him out The field is clear so far
as can be discovered by a survey of it
\ with the naked eye. But there is time
enough to concentrate on some other
candidate, and it is reasonably sure
that the ill-natured fiings of Cleveland
at the dinner given by the governors
of the democratic clubs of New York
will not promote his chances, although
the absence of Hill was a significant
snub of that latest Pooh Bah.-Inter

We WANT THAT RAILROAD, TOO.
The Stephenville Empire opines:


1t is strange that Austin, the capt.
tai of great state, should be content
to keep the Arkansas Pass road out of
her limits. BY building only twenty
seven miles of road she would tap
nearly 800 miles of railway. The lit
tie concern running from San Marcos
to Lockhart is of no practical benefit
to Austin. The Empire would be
glad to see Austin make an effort to
get connection with the Arkansas road
at Lockhart.
Friend, Austin raised 100000 two
years ago, offered it to Mr.. Lott and
urged him to build his Arkansas Pass
road to Austin. Though that sum
was all Mr.. Lott wanted of us, though
he was perfectly satisfied with our
offer, he could not build it at that
time, nor has that road since been in
condition to do such building. Aus
tin is now holly after the Llano
extension. but we want the Lockhart
gap bridged, too. Whenever the
Arkansas Pass is ready to build, Aus
tin is anxious to be notified of that
fact and the bonus required of her
will quickly be forthcoming.

TEXAS CAPITAL.


sighted in the consideration of the
effects of the alien land law upon the
welfare of our state; it is this, that
Texas lands are the key note to her
greatness. 1t has been Texas boast
for forty years that unlike the other
states of the union she owns her own
public lands and through and because
of them she hoped to build an empire
state. She has for years been offering
millions of acres to the homesteader
on most liberal terms, and through
the gift of her lands she has her
thousands of miles of railroads, her
state capitol building, her public
schools and her university.
Her great trade has been in
lands, and her future lies in
the proper handling and disposition
of them. While and since this is true
should there not be the least possible
ambiguity or uncertainty about her
land titles? Should not this fiction of
law so complex elsewhere, here be
made the least intricate possible? A
clear title to Texas land should be
foundation of adamante upon which
man can stand and brave the world.
And it is that this may be the case,
THE STATESMAN has so opposed such
litigation as would throw cloud up
on Texas titles or bring them into
the least disrepute.
Texas is dubbed the King Cotton
State and she is honored for her cattle
industry; but both these combined
can not make a state great as Texas
deserves and should be great. Out
side of these two sources Of riches
she has untold wealth in field,
forest and mine, but all waiting the
magic touch of manufacture to make
them supremacy important aud Texas
supremely great. But the ground
rock of such expansion is the realty
upon which it must rest; and it is this
realty that is recklessly assaulted by
the ill judged terms of our alien land
law. This realty must be the under
lying foundation of our growth, which
is impossible if such laws are enacted
as make of it quicksand, incapable
of supporting the superstructure we
would build. We do not want, we
cannot build on floating shore.
When money is anchored it is an
chored tight and fast to that which
does not give way, however taut
may be the line that pulls. But
this imperfect alien land law
makes it impossible for any
outsider to throw us helping line
there is no stump or post to which it
could safely be attached. Our legisla- |
ture, in their life-saving boat, may
have used the right kind of a missile,
but they overshot the mark and the
pendant line has not ''fallen to us in
pleasant Places" we are surely in the
midst of the deep sea, with pillows
rolling high and many dangerous
rocks between us and safety.

The Cincinnati Times-Star says thai
Florida is the ideal winter resort fol
Northern people, because it has hotels
built by Northern capital, run by
Northern talent and cooked for by
Northern chefs. The same authority
proceeds: "In a Florida hotel there is
no danger of sitting down to break
=! fast of bacon and corn dodgers. No
steaks are fried in Florida hotels till
they curl up like saucer. They know
how to broil meat in Florida; they fry
it in New Orleans, in Dallas, Calves

"Cawn cakes" are not indispensable

Ponce de Leon wandered; meal in
New Orleans or in Texas without them
would be like a meal on the Emerald
Isle without potatoes

the above has been started within the
past year, it has escaped the notice Of
THE STATESMAN. If the Times-Star
man will only come to Texas to spend
the coming winter, the "dodger"
which will be furnished him on ar
