RAILROAD WRECKS.

The record for the past few
months has been full of disaster and
calamity from railroad wrecks.
Scores of people have been hurled
into eternity, and still more, serious
ly injured and many manned for
life.
The extent and frequency of these
disasters has set the press to think
ing, what is the cause of them and
the New Orleans New Delta, says it
is not SO easy to account for them,
for the worst have occurred on long
established roads, presumably un-
der good management.
But these fearful tragedies are
seldom precipitated without some
agency, or some individual some
where being responsible for them;
the trains do not run themselves
and it is somebody's business to
know the condition of bridges and
track as well as the location of trains
moving in opposite directions. When
a collision occurs or train of cars
goes through bridge or is thrown
from the track, somebody some
where has Numbered and should
be held accountable.
1t is the argument of labor thai
the corporation itself is largely
responsible for the negligence Oh
ineficiency of its employees. They
claim that more is required of the
men than they can well do, and thai
long hours and loss of sleep in
capRcitate them for efficient service
and that a protest fills their places
with inexperienced substitutes. Il
this charge can be maintinued it is 6
serious one, and furnishes the ex
PLANTATION of the frequent disasters
Whatever may be the merits of thi:
charge it is indisputable that there
is a strong current of public senti
ment setting in the direction indl
Gated, and determination to make
travel more safe by seeking higher
responsibility for killing passengers

SOLID FACTS FrrLY SPOKEN.
The Cameron Herald takes

The Cameron Herald takes its
democracy straight and talks night
out in meetin' like an old fashioned
cedar house democrat in its reference
to the alliance third party clique.
Mentioning the effort of S. D. A.
Duncan, trustee of the Exchange
business at Dallas, to raise $4,000
to re-instate the Exchange to the
order by an assessment or subscrip-
ton of S1.40 from each alliance man
in the State, it says: ''Mr. Duncan
is in position to know the strength
of the organization in Texas, and
we presume his calculation is cor
rect! His estimate thus places the
strength of the alliance in Texas,
anyone can make the calculation, at
21,572. These are male members
who pay dues, and includes boys

here proven is that the sub-treasury.
ties can Justly lay claim to a very
small per centage of the farmers Of
Texas. The democratic farmers who
mainly give to Texas democratic
government are not in the alliance
to-day. Two or three years age
they were nearly all in it. They
have become dissatisfied and have
dropped out by the wayside. There
is only one element now which the
organization can hold, and that is
the men who have been fighting the
democratic party for years, and in
tend to fight it still. Macumeisn
can neither elect a ticket or control
the democratic primaries in Texas.

THE BRAzos VALLEY RAnn.

The Houston Post in an inter
view with Mr.. G. W. Angle, of We.
lasco, in reference to the progress
of railroad building there elected
the following in substance: ''Messrs.
Burkett, Murphy, Burns and Peters
have the contract to build the road,
and they are known as the heaviest
contractors in the State. They have
100 teams strung out on the twenty
miles of road and will have fifty
more teams by the middle of this
week. The contract with our com
pany is to complete the road by
November 1. Mr.. Gus. Wilke is now
IN New York buying rails and iron
for the road, which will be shipped
by steamer to Velasco under guar
antee of eighteen feet of water on
the bar"
When asked if they would build
the road to Houston said:
''Our first move from Chenango
will be up the Brazos valley to Bren-
ham and Waco. This will give US a
low grade road through a cotton
field, over which fifty loaded cars
can be handled in each tram"
This is very welcome news to
Brennan and is hailed with delight
by everybody here.

WOULDN'T TOUCH NATIVE WINE.

As an illustration of what little
things can sometimes amount to,
here is a California incident that
mightaptly be called the last 'Teather
that broke the camels back" When
President Harrison was in Califor-
MIA the man who prepared the swell
banquet to which ali the fremost
citizens of San Francisco were in
vited. put cEly foreign wines on the
wine list which raised a howl of in
dignation until supplement card
was issued with list of native wines,
but the President instead of smooth
ing things over by only drinking
the California wines and praising
them wouldn't touch the native
wine, and the papers commenting
on it give the foreign manufacturers
their cue and they seized the oppor-
tun1ty to advertise their wines as
superior to those of California, add
ing that the President of the United
States when in California wouldn't
drink that wine and the people were
ashamed to offer it to him. The
wine growers say this has injured
their business thousands of dollars
and while they blame Mr.. Barnes
manager of the banquet, they will
hold President Harrison responsible
and will give him sample of then
temper in the next presidential cam.
