novel "a New Aristocracy," and read it
clear through to the end. Somehow when
l had finished it, l found myself muir
muring:

IT'S only noble to be good
Kind hearts are more than coronets
And simple faith than Norman blood"
The writer is certainly homespun "clar
thro'.' aud evidently believes that good
manners are good morals. She has very
little. if any. patience with hyperasthetic
conventionality. As for the charge of bad
manners" it won't wash" gmong those
who are old fashioned enough to realize
that good manners can't be taken on and
off like your clothes, and that the essence
of all true refinement is kindness and
thoughtfulness for others. If | were old
enough TO have a daughter which of
course [ am not, think / could safely
trust this honest little book in her hands
In fact, should she happen to resemble her
mother. she might perhaps find herself
improving a little in the very essential es-
sence OF good breeding. don't believe
she would find herself, at least right of,
"snubbing" Mrs Smith because her gown
was shabby, or ridiculing and turning up
her nose al Mrs. Brown because she lived
IL an old house and had wholesale disre-
gard of Lindley Murray in her speech.
This writer OF homespun has such way
of making you feel that pretty soon, if
not right off, there'll be no mean folks
III the world, that everybody has grown
wonderous kind, and that to divide your
crust is not even heroic for bless you it is
going to be" such an everyday occur
renee.
Dear me! when l had finished reading
the book how enthusiastic l was Why I
wanted to start right out and go to reform

supercillious glance at my old gown, and

which these shipments could be made
would be TO competitive points, say Texark-
ana, divide the business with the Texas
and Pacific and Cotton Belt, to Greenville,
the Cotton Belt as the short line; to Taylor
and Temple, divide between the Katy and
the Santa Fe. to Bolton via the Santa F'e,
TO Waco, via the Katy, giving the shipment
TO the short line in every case. There
would then be no difficulty in issuing
new tariff upon an agreed basis and the
business would then become competitive
and the rates would be made satisfactory.
But the railroad men object to cutting
rates to secure shipments. It is unfortu-
nate that this disagreement has arisen be-
tween the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
and the packing house people. but
little calm, dispassionate reasoning will
settle matters without difficulty. Fort
Worth and the packing company cannot
afford to make war upon the roads just at
present, as the result in that event would
be the putting in Of the knife and the quot
ing of a 10 or Is cent rate from Kansas City
and Chicago to Texas common points that
would deinoralize business generally. The
entire matter can be settled without an
open rupture

4 Pretty Fight.

The quarrel between the Rio Grande,
Western and Union Pacific II Provo, seems
TO have been lively affair, in which Cen
eral Superintendent Bancroft of the Union
Pacific ana General Manager Dodge OF the
Western lead the opposing forces. Up to
date the latter seems to have the best OF II,
as he tore up the sidetrack which caused
the fight and thus effectively prevented the
Union Pacific from blocking his main line.
The sidetrack, it seems, was built jointly,
but the Union Pacific took notion that II
owned il and acted accordingly. Colonel
Dodge didn't Ike TO have cars standing
across his main line, and one report has it
that he took an engine, put an old freight
car in front Of it and used the whole as
battcring ram. a dispute over car CT
freight prccipitated the fight, which WIS
not the first between the two roads al the
same point. The Western is not SO big aS
the Union Pacific but it is iul Of pluck.

Capt. Envy Taylor president of the
Georgetown and Granger railroad, had i
very satisfactory conference one day last
week with one of the principal managers Of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road. As
4 result Of this conference the probability
Is that a survey will soon be made from this
place to Mcneil on the Austin and North
western road, and that in the near future
grading Will be commenced on the proposed
road, and that then u proposition will be
made to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
road to take charge of the Georgetown and
Granger road and make it its main line to
Austin and the Southwest. II such IN ar
Ianrement as this can be made, then it is
more than likely that the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas viii extend a line to LlanO and
other places west of here. Altogether the
sun feels very hopeful in regard TO the
railroad prospects. 1t will take time to
consummate the plans on foot; but we must
be patient. remembering that large enter
prises frequently move slowly. Capt. lay
lor is confident that the Georgetown and
Granger railroad will be built, and to those
who know him this statement will go far
toward removing any doubt that they may
have about the road being built.-IG George

When S. H. II. Clarke assumed control OF
the Union Pacific it WAS the prevalent
opinion among Denver railroad men that
there would be many changes in the per
sonnet OF the staff OF that road in this city.
MIR. Clarke is well known to have fixed
ideas AS 10 how business should be con-
Quoted, and he also insists hat people who
do not want TO do things his way had better
travel AZ once. That no changes were made
for some time past WAS somewhat Of a sur
prise to the prophets, and it WAS finally
settled that the men here must be doing
business pretty nearly according to Mr..
Clarke's ideas.
Yesterday runor began to fly around
that ii shaking Up in the several depart
mcnts was imminent, and that three or four
weil-knOwn railroad men would change
their positions, No Sold foundation for
the report could be discovered, Dut it is
usually the case that the first inkling of
such matters leak out without anybody
knowing exactly where it comes from.

yictoria's New Road.

The capitalists of Victoria have at last
hit upon the true idea for the procurance
of another railroad outlet for the city. One
day last week subscription was circu-
lated and in Il few hours $4,000 We're sub
Scrlbcd, and Ut the close of the week the
sum of near $4,000 was subscribed. As
We understand it, this money is not raised
rs subsidy or bonus for any particular
railroad enterprise, but as a fund which
will be applied to the building of road
such as will be most beneficial to the iu-
terests of this city and county. When
the county has been thoroughly canvassed
II much larger sum of money viii be
raised, and Victoria, as we have often
stated that she could do, win be able to
build road of her own. such as will give
her another eastern and northern connec-
ton. The time was, and only a score of
years since, when Victoria was helpless in
such matters, and SO she would be now if
she did not realize her strength. By the
aforesaid effort she will prove herself able

WALDO Is COMING.
Texas Rates on Packing House Products to
be Adjusted.

It IS expected that ]. Waldo, general
traffic manager of the Missouri. Kansas
and Texas. will arrive III the city tomorrow
for the purpose Of consulting with the
packing house people in regard to rates,
difference having arisen between them
The packing house people asked for rate
TO Waco. and it WAS given on the regular
mileage tariff, which was the best that
could be given by any representative here.
The Houston aud Texas Central put in
cut rate and secured the shipment The
packing house people seemed to think the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas should meet
the cut. but upon it refusing 70 do so stated
they would not hereafter ship pound of
freight over the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas that could be shipped over other
lines The Memphis and the Cotton Belt
have put in 4 cut rate on hogs from Kansas
City TO Fort Worth and By this means is
securing the business.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas people
say they are willing TO make as reasonable
rates as possible, but the representatives
of the road here have no authority to quote
other than the established tariff and the
making Of a new tariff rests entirely with
the head of the traffic department. They
say they will not meet cut rates until they
receive orders to that effect from superior
officers. The most satisfactory manner in
