Western Traffic Commissioners,

CHICAGO, Ill, April 20.-The board of
commissioners of the Western Traffic asso-
citation met to-day and considered a numb Der
of appealed cases. One of these was the

vance second-class passenger rates from the
Pacific coast. Another was the request to
divert the salt traffic from the Hutchinson,
Kansas, amongst competing lines. No de-
cision was reached by the commission.
A quorum has been assured for the meet
ing of the advisory board in New York,

THE COUNTRY NEEDS PEOPLE.

During the discussion Of the Brown
ing bill to appropriate money for a
Texas exhibit at the Worlds fair, the
state press that assumes a sort Of pro-
tectorate over the farmers interests
was bitter in opposition to the bill, and
not to the bill alone, but to the setting
aside of any public money for that pur
pose. The GAZETTE does not believe
that these papers voiced the sense Of
the intelligent and progressive farm
ers OF Texas in their utterances on this
occasion.
There is no reason for the farmers to
stand against the usiag Of the public
means for settling the state. Their
very interest is in line with such a pol
icy. As tax payers they want men to
take up the vacant school lands and
contribute to the state revenue.
Some twenty odd million acres now be-
longing to the state are untaXed. When
this land passes to private ownership
it becomes tax-bearing, and the as
sessed valuation of real estate would be
swelled by s50,OOO,O00 if all this land
were in the hands of farmers, from
which the state and the school fund
would draw a revenue OF about $780,
600 year. And the purchase money
would increase the permant school fund
to So, coo, 600 or more, the income from
that principal doing away with taxa
ton for school purposes.
As producers they need the waste
lands settled and towns built up for
trading centers. Population makes
towns and cities, and their citizens be-
ing consumers, they become the best
local markets for farm produce. We
have an example in the Fort Worth
packing house. Fort Worth would not
be possible but for the people that have
settled the country around it. The
packery would not be here but for Fort
Worth. And there would be no local
market for hogs and cattle but for the
packery. Give us double the country
population to draw from, and the mar

LATE RAILWAY NEWS.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 20-Members of the
Central traffic and trunk lines associations
declare that the majority of Eastern lines
which have thus far refused to join in the
boycott against the Chicago and Alton will
swing into line in day or two and make
the fight on that road practically unani-
nous. What pressure has been brought to
bear upon the lines in question to bring them
into harmonious action with the majority is
not known-in fact, officials and friends of
the Alton insist that it is all bluff and there
is really no change in the situation, except
that the boycott is proving beneficial rather
than detrimental to their road. Western
roads have decided to pay up all commits
sions to Eastern agents due on February
and March business in order to stand even
with the Chicago.

THE contractors who recently numbered
the houses of the city certify TO over 1000
houses. With an average Of one and half
voter 10 each house Dallas would have 10
600 male citizens Of voting age. There IS
no doubt but there were many illegal votes
cast at the recent city election, and little
doubt either that the male population of
Dallas over twenty-one years must be
close to 800, giving Dallas q population
with that of suburbs OF 10000 Dallas
TimcS-IIer&ld.
OF these alleged 1000 houses, how
many are vacant:
If Dallas and its suburbs have 10000
population, the rest Of the county must
be very desolate, as the census of 1890
gives the entire county and city but
little over 10000.

Investigating Their Nationality.

WASHINGTON, April 2O-The department
of justice is in receipt of letter from Dis
trict Attorney William Grant at New Or
leans, who was requested by it to ascertain
the nationality of the Italians who were
killed there last month and the cir
cumstances under which they came
to this country. The district
attorney says he has encountered much
more difficulty in getting some of the par
ticulars in the case than he had anticipated,
which resulted in delaying his report.
These particulars refer to the nationality of
the men. He has made a request to the de-
partment for certain information in connec-
ton with the matter.

PROFESSION AND PERFORMANCE.

President Harrison's speeches along
his route contain many wise express
ions OF broad-minded craftsmanship.
Do they give tone to his genuine feel
ings. OR are we TO regard them only as
diplomatic utterances to keep accord
with the good will of the people who
have delighted TO do him honor?
If the president really means what he
says, we shall be justified in looking
for something better from his admin
istration, when this journey is over
with and he has taken up the cares Of
government once more. than we have
been getting. There will be no more
OF the spirit that exerted itself to ty-
ranniZe over the South by means OF the
vicious force bill There will be more
considerate Federal appointments than
the thrUsting of negroes upon a South
ern community as postmasters and
other officials, where they are neces-
sarily brought in close business reIa-
lions with the whites. There will be
less Of sectionalism and more of cathol-
icism, if the president has really had a
change of heart toward the South
ern part OF the country of which he is
the highest official representative.
And the South in this work of get
ting together" will meet the president
more than half way. We are part OF
the United States of America, and we
want him to feel that he bears the
same relation to US that he bears to
the people of Massachusetts or Kansas.
We will be none the less Democrats,
nor need he be less a Republican. He
can still hold to his belief that pro-
lection is the main stay Of our pros
perity. and we will continue to strive
for q lower tariff, but we would like
for him to do as he talks in his future
official dealings with us.

THE Kansas City Star appears to

THE Kansas City Star appears to
take about the same view OF MIR. Ne
Graths $, Of Kansas, late threat Us THE
GAZETTE. The Star comments:
Advices from the South Indicate that the
Alliance IN that section will ignore the call
OF President McGrath OF Kansas for the
third party convention at Cincinnati. The
sentiment among the farmers of the South
appears 10 be against the idea of an inGe
pendent movement in national politics.
They have been pretty successful in con-
trolling nominations and elections within
The old party with which the large body Of
them are allied, and they viii probably be
content as long as they are able TO accom-
pliSh the reforms az which they are aiming
in that way. The failure of the Southern
Alliance to cooperate in the Cincinnati
movement would practically settle the
question Of organizinga third party for 1892.
President NicGrath has declared that, uu
less the Alliance OF the South sewers It's
connection with the Democracy and comes
out in the middle Of the road the Alliance
il the North will disintegrate and the mem
berS will soon return 10 their old parties.
n view OF this threat, and the seeming dis
inclination Of the Southern Alliance 10 go
into the third party scheme, the convention
AT Cincinnati will be awaited with much in
tereSt by the politicians.

A MAIDS DEVOTION.
She Gets Her Lover Out of the Lookup
and Marries Him.

A young man named George Lawson
was arrested at the Union depot on a
charge of vagrancy. He had been Ioafng
around the Union depot, and was considera-
bly, surprised when told what the officers
wanted him for. He was well dressed and
genteel appearing fellow, but, being u
stranger in the city, was unable to account
satisfactorily for his presence there. It
turned out that he was smitten with the
charms of Minnie Britton, employed at
Ginocchio's hotel, and was hanging around
the depot in the hope of getting a glimpse
of her. As soon as she heard Of the arrest
of her lover she proceeded to intercede
with the recorder. Her pleading was so
successful that Lawson was re-
leased, whereupon the words were
pronounced that made Miss Minnie
Britton, Mrs. George Lawson. The bride
is said to be a very handsome girl, and by
this action has shown she possesses large
amount of grit. Other newly married
couples have commenced life under more
favorable auspices, but it is safe to say this
couple will wintheir way.
