James r.. Fisher, of Richmond; MIR. Wright,
OF Waynesboro', and Mr.. Harold Snowden,
of the Alexandria Gdze,te. Each has sup
port, it is said, in the delegation, but 1t is
apparent that unless the Vlrginians unite
on q man the State cannot hope TO secure

necessary for the delegation to agree on O
candidate and have all support him.
THE NEW MEMBER.
Mr.. Meredith, who will be elected 70
Congress next Wednesday from the Eighth
district, was here last night and visited
several of the headquarters. He will pro-
badly meet with the delegation tomorrow

nate. Mr., Meredith has no more speeches
TO make in the district before the election,
but he Is keeping q sharp eye on the situa-
tion and expects TO be elected by the usual
majority that ls given for the Democrats
in the Eighth district.

The West and the Railroa DIS.

President Sidney DillOn's article in the
North American Review on ''The West and
the Railroads" is being issued in pamphlet
form by the Union Pacific. n it he at
tributes the growth of the United States
west of the Alleghanies during the past
fifty years 10 railways He states that if
the institutions and climate and soil had not
been favorable to the development of COM
monwealths, railways would not have
been constructed. but if railways had
not been invented the freedom and
natural advantages of our Western
states would have beckoned to human
immigration and industry in vain. He as
serts that many of the grievances urged
against railways are too puerile to be seri-
ously noticed, among which is lover capt.
talization.n Capital is IN itself an unknown
quantity and its value depends wholly upon
its productive uses, which are distinguished
from its productive powers in this-that the
powers may or may not be exercised. while
the uses yield certain profitable results.
The gold that is now locked up by ma
ture in the Western mountains is not
yet capital, because, although we know it is
there, we do not know how much it will
cost to reduce it TO possession. \ railway
is, in his estimation. simply manifestation
of capital put to work: of human industry
in its highest development applied to earsu
ing wages. The ehIire article is very COM
prehensive and deals with the railroad
question from the capitalists view.

Assistant General Manager Dickinson and
Party Visit the City.

Yesterday Assistant General Manager
Dickinson of the Union Pacific, accom-
panied by Z. Buckingham, superintendent
Of car service, and L. H. Korty, superin-
tendent of telegraph, arrived in the city in
his special car over the Missouri Kansas
and Texas from Kansas City. The party
was met here by General Superintendent
r. J. Duncan of the lines comprising the
Union Pacific, Denver and gulf division.
General Superintendent Winter of the
Denver, who was out on the line, was
called in by wire and met the party here.
They remained in the city for some time,
thoroughly inspecting the general offices,
yards, machine shops etc, this being Mr..
Dickinson's first visit to Fort Worth in his
official capacity. His coming was entirely
unexpected to the Denver officials here,
who, though they knew he was expected
here soon, expected him to come over the
Denver.
Mr. Dickinson expressed himself as. well
pleased with the condition of the COM
pany's property here. and left just before
noon on special train for Wichita Falls,
where an inspection will be made Of the
Wichita Valley road. From there the
party goes on to Denver, and will thor
oughly examine the portion of the road re-
Gently destroyed by the cyclone and water
spout. General Superintendent Winter and
Superintendent GoOde will accompany the
party as far us IeXline.
Mr.. Dickinson is like General Manager
Clarke in some respects and especially in
this. that he delights to slip into the head
quarters of portion of the system, if pos
sible. unknown TO the officials and see for
himself the condition Of things in their Or
binary every day garb, before anything
can be put in readiness for his visit. He
seemed to be well pleased with the manner
il which the affairs of the Fort Worth and
Denver are conducted, and has received a
much greater impression of the Importance
of Fort Worth Mir. Dickinson is self
made railroad man. and is thoroughly Ia
miliar with all the details of track, traffic
and operation. and nothing escapes his
keen eve
