UNDERGROUND WIRES.
TheJ Should be Regarded as the Established Order
In All cities.
Engineering Na0osine.I

l41ANthftTtHU 14dVuEtnf
For local telephone work. underground wires
work admirably. The telephone system of
New York from the Battery 10 the Harlem
River is entirely underground. and there are
to-day under the streets of New York consid-
erably more than 1000 miles Of wire used for
tOlepnOnic communication.
The type of underground cable now in GEN
eral use should have a very long life. The
lead covering is practically indestructible; If
laid in iron pipes il cannot be affected even by
gaIvanc action, because iron is electro posi-
tive 20 lead, and the iron would be attacked.
As tho Insulating material is Theoretically
sealed within the lead covering, il is safe from
deterioration as long as the lead remains sound.
81 that unless il is found that the Insulating
materials deteTiOrate by reason OF the action OF
the current, the depreciation on underground
cables Of this class should be placed at very
low figure. In contrast the depreciation If
overhead lines is very considerable, especially
in towns where the wires are exposed 10 the
action Of smoke and gases, besides the influence
OF extremes Of weather.
In large towns and cities the underground
system is among the established order Of things.
while freedom must be conceded for overhead
wires in the open country aud on restricted
routes.

THE A. AND M. COLLEGE.
Demand that an Agricultural College
be Located in North Texas.
ENNIS. TEN, April ., 1891
Editor Gazette:

EultOr Gazette:
was informed to-day by q gentleman
direct from Austin. that the people in the
black land belt would not get the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college unless we
used more exertions to get it. He said we
must speak out in meeting and make our
representatives understand that we wanted
the college. | do not see the necessity of
any more talk on the subject; but can say
this: That if the present legislature does
not make the appropriation needed, the
people OF the black lana cOun les in Mort h
Texas will see that representatives will go
to the next legislature who Will work for
the measure. l like to see true economy;
but it looks very like penny wise
and pound foolish action to oppose
such measure simply because the great
and growing state of Texas has already
college that can hardly accommodate one
fourth of the applicaI IS, yea after year, for
agricultural instruction. again, have al
ways been interested in the success of the
college at Bryan; but have COZ rrrsed with
many of the faculty and students al dj fer
ent times and invariably elected the ihTor-
nation that the course of instruction and
knowledge acquired in that poor sandy land
was hardly calculated to materially benefit
4 young man located on the black lands,
outside of the chemical action of fertilizers
and the moduS operandi of the dairy bust
ness. 1t is certainly time that the farmers
were awakening to their interest in thos
matter and taking hand in legislation cal
culated TO benefit the coming generation.
There is no need for the people living in
the best portion of Texas, and one that fur
nishes so per cent OF the products Of the
state, to beg for this appropriation. 1t is
theirs by right and in demanding It at the
hands of their public servants, our repre-
sentatives, they simply perform q duty TO
themselves and children. Very truly,

MORE RAILROADS.

Meeting Mr.. j. NJ. Carter, a live real es-
tate man of ST Louis, yesterday What-Not
learned that he had arrived on the noon
train and was in Texas respecting. How
ever. he came 10 the state well informed
and knew much more about the inside
schemes of the railroads than the average
citizen. He said: Il supposed you noticed
in this mornings GAZETTE that the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas had secured 2 new
charter. Well, this means that the COM
pany will pass out Of the hands OF the re-
ceivers. 1t also means that the Henri
eta, Southwestern and BrazOS Valley road
"a contract for the construction of which
from Henrietta to Archer City has already
been lett will be extended 10 Abilene via
Throckmorton Immediately. While this
road is ostensibly under new manage
ment, with Mr.. Ed Eastman as president,
it is really 4 part of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas system, and IS q move on the
part Of the management of this road to di-
vide western commerce with the Texas and
Pacific. You are probably aware that the
Texas and Pacific and Missouri. Kansas
and Texas are now engaged in very lively
rate war on livestock, and the Texas and
Pacific - st present carrying the entire
Western Texas traffic. This war decided
the Katy road 10 construct con
nect:on with Abilene, and the line
may rest u that point for
western border ! know that this Henri
eta branch will extend n once, and that
the points Indicated are the objective ones.
The Katy, drawing traffic from almost
every other section Of the state, cannot at
ford 10 permit the Texas and Pacific TO mo-
-:opo!iZe this Western traffic. -
What. Not-'Nhat do you think about
the recently constructed line from Wichita
Falls 10 SEYMOUR
Mr. Carter-''This line is really 4 part Of
the Fort Worth and Denver. and will likely
be extended N the near future through
hno. county westward. As | understand
The matter the Fort Worth and Denver is
part of the Union Pacific ROAD and will be
extended TO the Gulf II deep water IS Sc
cured. However, this is q matter for the
future TO develop, and have no authentic
Information concerning this line. But
Archer, Ihrockmorton and Taylor counties
VIII undoubtedly secure this line from Hen
rietta and present ;iHe field for invest
mcnt." While Mr.. Carter did not state
that he would invest in any of the counties
referred to, he spoke very highly of the
future OF Abilene and seemed TO think that
it promised To develop into quite a large
town. He has visited Texas before and
says that all of the western portion of the
state is composed o. mlgni ticent land and
offers comfortable homes for the farmers
Of the East.

followed as a model the constitution
OF the United States, which is changed
in some respects TO adapt il to the ne.
cessities Of the colonies. The colonial
head is governor-general, appointed
by the queen, but he must be accepta-
bic to the people. The governor
general is the sole representative OF
the British majesty in the Australian
federation.
This is not the coming into being OF
an independent power, with all the SUI
preme rights Of nationality that the
thirteen English colonies Of America
assumed when they broke loose from
the parent government in lie, but it
amounts TO the same thing, for the
Australian commonwealth will be
bound to the mother country by the
weakest of threads. In its local affairs
the Commonwealth OF Australia will be
as much an Independent nation as the
United States of America is. It will
salute the English flag and sing God
Save the Queen, and partake of the
common feeling Of pride in the great
ness of England: but the bonds OF con-
nection, now SO slight, will not hold
when the interests OF Australia shall
demand complete autonomy.
The Australians have obtained in a
few years all that the Irish people have
asked for for hundreds ofyears. The new
commonwealth is the summit OF home
rule. Why, then, withhold home rule
from the people OF Ireland? AS British
subjects they are entitled to as much
consideration as the Australians, and
they can claim as right what the
Australians could only ask for as
concession, for the colonies were built
up by Englishmen who have never
been anything but Englishmen and
have never owed allegiance to any
other power, while the Irish are the
descendants OF q conquered people
whose independence was taken away, and
who have never willingly allowed the
British government to make laws for
them. To give home rule to Ireland
would be only to restore what was
taken away, and could be claimed IS L
just right; bit the giving il 10 Austria
ia WAS the granting OF power that
the colonist5 had never been possessed
Of except by sutTeraucc, ana which in
their ease was not 4 right, but an iu-
diligence.
