The San Antonio Il Arkansas Pass
railway has been the salvation Of
Southwest Texas in the past and
would be In this present were the OPP
portunity given. The proposition to
pay off the indebtedness of the road
to it's uttermost farthing and resume
control, made by the reorganization
committee, has opened the door to b
speedy settlement of all the difficult
ties surrounding it's management,
and is hailed by every citizen with
delight. This road has always had
q large mind and small pocket.
It's demands have always been
of the most liberal nature, but
1t has never had capital to
carry out it's enterprises and the re-
suit has been debt and embarass-
ment. No railway company ever Or
ganized has done as much with the
means at its command as has the
Arkansas Pass, and now that it's debts
can oil be paid, an efficient and ag-
gressive management assured, and
the extensions so long talked of con.
summsted, there should be no delay ]
in putting the road at once In the
hands of the reorganizing committee.
The amount of money disbursed by |
them during the next sixty days, the
most inactive trade period of the
year in this city and section, would be
q perfect godsend to our business
houses andwould be as acceptable re-
lief as the disbursements made by the
road during its main line construction
to Corpus Christi, without which this
city would have . mighty hard
squeeze in 1886. The turning over of
this road into the hands of the reor-
9anizing committee insures the
prompt payment of the claims of all
local creditors, the casbing of the
time checks of the receivers, and the
of the road to LlanO and
into the northwest, until connections
are made with the roads running into
the Panhandle and the foothills of the
Rockies. San Antonio will breathe
more freely, her business will take on
\ new lease of life, and there will
be hundreds OF small creditors
made happy by this proposed
change. To the average main of af-
fairs it certainly does seem as though
nothing ought to stand in the way of
promptly and thankfully
Of the proposition of the reor-
ganizstion committee. They re-
present the owners and who have a
better right than they have to man
age the property, once they liquidate
Its indebtedness. Whose business is
it but theirs and their creditors, and
once the obligations are discharged
what claim can the creditors
have by which the court maintains
and exercises con troll. The
voice Is in FAVOR OF turning
the old 8. A. P. road over to its
owners for the immediate payment of
bill claims. After that the road itself
will be turned loose for the benefit of
this city and section.

The Easter concert given by the Sunday

was a complete departure from the usual
set program of such occasions. The concert
not only had the merit of novelty, but it was
rendered in manner which would have
warranted its presentation in the opera
house
Miss Ida Wallace and Miss Winnie Croft
had the arrangements in charge and to them
is due much of the credit. The title of the
concert exercise was 1.-The Gates Ajar' 1t
pictures a tired, doubling pilgrim, seeing
nothing ahead but sorrow and trouble. Then
Faith, Hope and Love enter, and by their
words endeavor to cheer the pilgrim point
ing the way to the homo beyond ana to the
gates alar. A chorus of believers are heard
in the distance singing "Onward, Christian
Soldiers and they soon appeared. bearing
the cross and singing US they marched. Reci-
tations and songs from these believers, mar
rating their experiences and their hopes, at
last inspire the doubtful pilgrim to brighter
views of the future, and with the other pill
grimS she joins in q chorus Of triumphant
belief This chorus was made more effective
by the ringing of Easter bells and the floral
offerings of the very little children, who
came marching in, each bearing flowers
which were placed upon cross until it was
covered with beauty. Among these who
took part were Misses Belle SNYDER kittie
Ogden, Nettie Wallace, Claire mberlain
Gertrude Davenport, Nellie Jacobs, Maudie
Bryant, Eta Otis and Katie Shcpler. One
of the most taking numbers was a solo by
little May Snyder.
