TEXAS RAILROADING.
How. Secretary Bowen of the san Antonio
Commercial Exchange Expresses
Himself in the East.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, Nov. 2-Secretary Bowen of
the commercial exchange of San Antonio,
Tex, says in an interview: The Texas
railroad commission has not only crippled
the railways in their earnings to such an
extent as hardly to justify them in making
rates to Texas as they do to other states,
but it is soaring out other capital from de-
veloping enterprises that simply await
money TO make Texas by far the wealthiest
and most populous state in theU Mon.
Capitalists warned by the present anti-cor-
poration craze in my state are afraid
TO venture there, not showing when the in
terest and principal may both be cut off
from them.
Judge Reagan personally attacked the di-
rectory of the AtcniSon, charging them
with having obtained control of the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe for the purpose of
wrecking it and robbing the people of
Texas. Yet the facts are that the Atchison
system, after five years control of the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe railway, have put
into it more than So, 100000 above what
they have got out of it to date, and Judge
Reagan and his confre,res have recently
further cut off over 100000 year of their
income.
The Rock Island is now running into the
Panhandle and will soon reach deep water
at the mouth of the Brazos via San Antonio
and the Arkansas Pass road. The Santa Fe
already runs there, and Abner Taylor, the
Farwells and others who built our magnif-
cent state capitol. have just completed the
work of obtaining eighteen feet Of water
across the bar at the mouth of the Brazos
river. This is the only deep water port on
the gulf coast except at New Orleans.
They have almost completed road from
Velasco to Hampstead. magnifcently bal
lasted, all steel. thoroughly equipped and
extending for $50 miles up one of the richest
valleys in the world to Hampstead. This
line will intersect the International and
Great Northern. the Santa F'e system, the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, the San Anto-
Mo and Arkansas Pass. the Southern Pacific
and the Houston and Texas Central rail-
ways, giving them the shortest route di-
rectly to the only ns-Mississippi deep
water port on the gulf.

ONE SIDE OF THE SITUATION.
Some of the Reasons Why Young Women
Prefer the Shop to Domestic Service.

Prefer the Shop to Domestic Service.
Mrs. Helen Campbell has collected
large number of testimonials from
working girls in seeking for reasons
why young women prefer shops to do
nestle service, and finds these counts
against mistresses:
/. That mistresses do not know what
days work means and will seldom if
ever guarantee any payment for over
time or give any portion of the day alb.
solutely free to the worker, especially
in the position of childs nurse.
2. That comfortably warm and de.
Gently furnished room with separate
beds if two must occupy it, is almost
unknown, and decent appointments for
meals equally so.
8 That even where the servant is
willing to take less wages, the mistress
is seldom willing to have the heaviest
work arranged for; this meaning car
rying coal up many flights of stairs,
scrubbing pavements, washing, etc.
4. That often a livery is required,
thus setting the servant apart and
forcing her to take social position
which most regard as degrading.
5. That there is seldom any place but
the kitchen for receiving visitors nor
any securing from espionage, whether
they are male or female.
6. The servant is often treated by the
mistress as if her place and work were
contemplate and children are allowed
to take the same attitude.

Plainness of Americans.

A woolly westerner sat on stool in
the rotunda of the Astor house talking
to an acquaintance. I've noticed" he
said, that some of the Americans who
make money don't get stuck up or take
on airs, or get bumptious, or have the
swell head, but are just as they used to
be before they grew rich. They have
their old ways and never pretend that
they don't know fellow, or that they
are above and beyond him. I've seen
some few of that kind out west and it
pleased me. l am told that when a
man in Europe has money he thinks he
is superior being, and won't speak to
anybody who hasn't as much as he has,
or who isn't lord but that isn't al.
ways the way things go in America. -

killed out the plants or checked their
development Proper underdrains in
such places would convey Off the water
and prevent the loss of plants
But there is another great waste,
everywhere apparent even upon the
best cultivated farms, namely, the
waste from the growth, of noXious
weeds, These rob the useful plants of
necessary water and food, crowd them
out of their places, overshadow,
smother, suppress them, They are EN-
phatically robbers, and should be out
lawed, ostracized, suppressed, extermi-
mated, annihilated. Why, the waste
upon the farm caused by robber weeds
is enough to account for all this depres-
sion in agriculture of which we hear so
much. Why, it is enough to account
for all this increase of farm mortgages
of which we read so much and which
artful politicians are so ready to at
tribute to the measures of their adj
versaries. No other business in the
country could endure such n waste; it
would bankrupt all engaged in it.
Let us for moment consider the
names of some of the most aggressive,
most impudent of these robbers. There
is quack, thistles of several species,
notably Canada, dock of Species plan
tain of two kinds-narrow-leaved the
worse daisy of species, Ox-eyed the
worst ut present, charlock or wild
mustard, wild carrot and numerous
others. Is it surprising that after all
these robbers have had their chances at
the plant-food and moisture, the plants
from which the farmer expects to reap
his profit should fare so poorly?
Now. will farmers consider this prob
lem: Could you by proper cultivation
bring up the yield of every square rod
and square foot of your fields to that
of the best square rod or square
foot, how much larger would be
the acreage yield of your crops?
After you have given that problem
sufficient consideration, take this: If
you should bring up the yield of the
best square rod of every field to its
highest possible capacity and the yield
of every other rod equally, how would
your yields of crops then compare with
your present yields?
The truth is, and may as well be ac-
lsnowledged, the farmers of this coun-
try possess too much land They are
everywhere applying the fertilizers, the
cultivation, the working capital required
for the cultivation of one acre to two,
three, four acres. They are wasting
their capital and their energies on toe
much land. In the new era of agricul-
ture, soon to dawn, our farmers, taught
by sad experience, are going to concen'
trate their efforts. Farm.
