1t is rumored in the Eastern papers that a
combination is on foot by which the Van
derbilts and the Burlington lines will
coalesce. This will give the Vanderbilts a
continuous all rail route from the Atlantic
ocean to Denver. 1t is also stated that the
same combination will absorb the Missouri.

Rio Grande is said to be Vanderbilt road
Should this report prove true. connection
between the Rio Grande and the Missouri,
here, in which event the Rio Grande would
be pushed forward to Topolobampo without
delay. At Topolobampo is said to be the
finest natural deep water harbor ON the Pa
cific coast. This would give the Wander
bits almost an air line from Chicago to
Topolobampo. Whether there is any foun-
dation for this report or not, The GAZETTE
cannot say.

4 DEMAND FOR JUSTICE.

Upon the basis Of representation as
agreed upon for the next congress
Texas will be entitled to thirteen con-
+ gressmen instead Of eleven. The cleo
ton taking place in 1892 there will be
no means ofproviding districts for the
two new members which the state will
elect unless a special session OF the
legislature shall be called for that pur-
pose. If that is not done two members
from the state at large can be elected,
who viii give US our quota in the lower
house: but justice to the people calls
COR d redistricting Of the state. so that
each part OF it will be able to command
its proper strength in national legisla-
ton.
Some parts Of the state have grown
faster than others. Northwest Texas
has had far greater rate OF increase
than East or South Texas since 1880,
but in the election of the congressional
representation Northwest and North
Texas have no more influence than
they had ten years ago, and East Texas
has as much. Submitting the PROPOSE
ton to the memorable logic OF math-
ematics it stands thus: the First con-
gressional district had in 1880 a popula
ton Of 100, 434, and the Sixth district
l40,545. The First has now-or had on
the first of last June. when the enumer-
alton was made-l92, SIS people, and
the Sixth 225, 49,. The Eleventh dis
trict makes the most extraordinary
showing. having increased from i22, 9I8
10 23S, OPS in the ten years since it was
formed. In fact, one-third OF the en-
tire increase in the states population
is to be found in the Sixth and the
Eleventh districts, while the eastern
districts show but comparatively
trilling growth.
The surplus of population in the
Sixth and Eleventh is more than
enough to form congressional district
in itself. These counties are therefore
fairly entitled to three congressman
where now they have but two.
Population is the basis of representa-
ton. 1t is unjust to withhold from the
people of one part of the state their
proper representation in congress
while giving to another part more than
its numbers give it n right to claim.
Two hundred thousand people in
North and West Texas are virtually
DISTINGUISHED by the congressional dis
tricts as they now stand, and these
people have claims that call for fair
hearing.
This is not sectionalism. It is justice.
Sectionalism demands more than its
due. Justice pleads only for its right.

SENATOR REAGAN has accepted an
appointment on the railroad commits
sion. The emoluments are not so great
as the senatorship, but it is position
in which he can be OF far more service
to Texas. In this action Senator Rea-
gan has demonstrated he is thorough
Texan and that he holds the states in
terests paramount to his own. This
insures for Texas a broad and liberal
commission, one which will zealously
guard the interests OF the people and
the railroads, and which will render
the exact and equal justice between the
people and the common carriers that
all moral law and equity demands.

ABOUT FORT WORTH.

Easy money will bring to Fort Worth
active dealing in real estate. Ali agents
and others agree that this will be the
case. Money is getting easier every
day is the report. Capt James
hincannon,' for several years national
bank examiner under Cleveland
and now leading banker in New York, says
there is decided improvement in the
East. Texas will soon have on the market
magnificent crops which alone will make her
prosperous and cause flow of gold and Sill
Yer in this section Of the state. especially to
Fort Worth. The yield OF wheat in the
Brownwood country, in the P. C.. c. coun-
try and in Hardeman, Wilbarger, Wichita
and Childress counties Is estimated at over
six million bushels. To carry this
amount of wheat, estimating 100 bushels
to the car would require IL, 600 cars, or S33
trains of eighteen cars to the train, or a
solid train 100 miles long. Clay, Archer,
Knox, Baylor and Greer counties are still
to be heard from. The Fort Worth and
Rio Grande and Fort Worth and Denver will
be taxed to their utmost to handle this crop
and the large flour mills OF Fort Worth can
not grind it into -four within year In
1881 in the five counties first named
GO00 bushels of wheat was har-
vested. At the same rate OF increase
in 1901 the yield win have reached
the almost incomprehensible amount of
six billion bushels. II would require
enough cars to carry this grain to market
10 make three solid trains that would reach
around the world more than three times. Who
can predict the future Of Fort Worth with
such a country tributary TO herr Who can
tell what real estate will be worth, Fort
Worth will become the greatest milling
center in the world If she but realize the
situation.

JOY UNBOUNDED.
CattIsmen Elated Over Secretary Rusk's
Decfsrnn in Changing GmaranLIne Line.


Decision in Changing Quarantine Line.
The announcement in The GAZETTE yes
terday that Secretary Rusk had chan ged
his recent order placing the quarantine line
far above where it has been for years, and
that the line which had proved satisfactory
for six years was again TO govern, was re-
ceived with joy by all the cattlemen OF
Texas. Had Secretary Rusk insisted on
his first order it would have cost many
Texas cattlemen thousands OF dollars.
Many contracts made would have, of ueces-
sity, been violated by Texas stocklnen and
Northern ranchmen would have suffered
also. The removal Of the embargo gave new
life TO cattle trading and arrangements were
made Yesterday and more will be maze to-
day to move cattle. The watering section
is in good condition and the outlook
for fattening cattle is excellent. Never
have cattle in Texas been more healthy or
in such good condition and from all present
signs Texas stock raisers Will realize good
prices for cattle. The disposition shown by
Secretary I,usk to correct mistake has
