BUYING A RAILROAD.
What You Want to Get When You
go to Purchase One.

~ W viz
Among the distinguished visitors
in the city is Mr.. f. II. r. Green, of
Terrell, Texas, who is the president
and manager of the Texas Midland
railway, and a very genial gentle
man, who proceeded last evening
to interview reporter for the
LIGHT. The interview was as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Green: excuse me, but
have YOU ever bought railroads.
Reporter: "No, but | am think
ing of buying one Saturday even
ing, when the ghost walks"
Mr.. G. "Well, when you go to
buy one call on me and can give
YOU a tip or two"
Rep. "What'S the matter with
giving me a tip ON a railroad or
two now"
Mr.. G. "Well when you go to
buy a railroad you want to get all
that goes with it. Don't you see:
For instance. you might bid on a
road that is being sold by the
United States government and put
up a $4,000 forfeit. Mind | say you
might put up that much forfeit
but | don't say that you will. Do
YOU see? Well, the court adVer
tises that the road with its fran
chise and a grant of 212,OOO acres
of land which grant has been
made by the state and nothing is
said about any mortgages but
when YOU come to ask for your
deed YOU want to be surrthat it is
forthcoming and gives you land
unencumbered and your road in
the same shape. For instance
YOU don't want to discover that Oh
600 acres Of the very choicest part
of the land has developed and that
besides the road being mOrtgaged
for about S2,OOO,OOO not down in the
bills, you find that the state is su-
ing to cancel the land grant, not to
speak of a shirley $4,000 judg-
ment, and lot Of people Of an
other company are claiming the
ownership Of the whole road. You
wait your IOdu OF your HZJOOO.
Don't you: And if you don't get
either you're Left
Reporter: "But would get my
road or my money, one or the
other or | would have the federal
court from its tyranicaI turrcts."
Mr.. g.: "WelI then suppose you
give me a trip. How would you
do it::"
Reporter: II would turn IIogg
and the Texas legislature loose on
EN-"
Mr.. Green is very likely to get
his road or his money but the tur-
rets are not apt to topplc because
the legislatures too tired to tackle
them this session. Green will
come out all right.

-UNcANcELLED MORTGAGES.

We call attention to the communi-
cation OF Edward Brassey to be found
elsewhere on the mortgage indebted
ness on real estate in this county.
Mr.. Brassey's explanation of the mat
ter and the injury such a showing is
liable to work is SO clear as to hardly
require further comment.
That u mortgage Indebtedness
should show by the records to be
within $780, 600 of our assessed valu.
alton and so given in the assessment
list, when in reality it is not more
than one half, is unfortunate as it
gives a wrong impression abroad. 1t
is liable to retard growth in every
branch of industry and make inves
tors and money loaners cautious. AS
Mr.. Brassey explains this discredit.
able showing is brought about through
the neglect OF m~ortgagors to have
their mortgages cancelled when they
have been satisfied. Theassessor car
only be governed by the records in his
work and is unable to tell which have
been paid. 1t is of vital Importance
to mortgagors to have n perfected
title and the records cleared. Tie
matter should be given careful atten'
ton by all interested.

a FAIR |! A FAIR !
A Liberal People Subscribe Over $1,000 for
this Purpose in a Few Hours.

Fergus county will have it's first annual
fair in September. This much was settled
on Tuesday last. The Fergus County Ag-
ricultural, Mineral and stock Association
hardly felt justified in giving a lair this year
on account OF the stringeucy in money
matters : they had nothing in the treas
ury after having purchased and fitted up
the grounds and completing their fine kite
sha ped track. but inasrnuch as many citi-
gems thought it high time to have a fair, it
was decided tn circulate a subscription
pap and if $500 could be raised the assoc
citation would add enough more to make
the fair an assured TACT. Trustees f. F..
Smith, A. j. Stephens and w. w. Dewitt,
the committee appointed for the purpose,
appealed to the citizens for their help and
the 5000 mark was passed before they
knew it, and still our generous citizens
pressed literally forward until more than
ISOLATION are elated and promise to leave
no stone unturned to make the fair an un-
qualified success. The fair will be held on
the Goth, 9th and 2Sth OF September.
Work will be begun at once in erecting "A
grand stand and other necessary buildings.
The fancy work, floral and horticultural
exhibits will he displayed in Culver's hall.
The live stock and other exhibits will be on
the fair grounds, where the races will he
held. On the last night of the fair ii grand
ball will be given.
Now, let everybody take hold and make
our first county fair an unqualified success.

THE Decentralization OF SILVER.

That crooked methods were en-
there can be no doubt. The testimony
II prominent senators and congress
men goss to show that they did not
know what they were voting for. Sem
ator Allison said the bill was "~doctored"
after it passed the house. Senator Beck
said "the house never knowingly APP
proved that bill" Judge Kelly, who
had charge of the bill said: ''In all
the legislation of lhis country there is
no mystery equal to the demonotiza-
ton of the standard silver dollar" Mr..
Holman said: "The method of its
passage through the house was a CO.
lossaI swindle. | assert hat the meas
ure never had the sanction of the
house" Mr.. Bright of Tennessee said
at passed by fraud in the house."
Mr.. Blaine said: 81 did not know any
thing that was in the bill at all" Gar
field said he was busy with other mat
tiers, did read the bill and was not
aware of the demetizing clause. Mr..
Thurman said: when the bill was
pending in the senate we thought it
was simply a bill to regulate the mint
= = = there is not a single man in
the senate = = = who had the
slightest idea that it was even a squint
towards demonstration" Mr.. Cannon
said: Neither members of congress
nor the people understood the scope Of
the legislation"
In the light of such testimony it is
clear that silver was struck down by
some gold bug assassin and the gov.
eminent as well as the money power
behind it have been doing their best to
degrade and discredit the white meta
ever since.

The Boulder Age gets after the Cop
perhead Democracy in the following
style: at has not been a very long
time since Democratic papers we're de-
claring that there were more Demo-
Gratis in the Union armies of 1861 to
1860 than Republicans, and that there
fore the Republican claim of Saving
The Union" was false. Now the same
papers are assuming that the old
soldiers are all Republicans, all pen
Sioners and all frauds. of course they
admit there are a few exceptions, such
as Walter q. Gresham, Cleveland's sec
rotary of stale, who has drawn a pen
sion and IA salary from the government
almost the whole time since the "a
closed; and Gen. John c. Black, who
was commissioner of pensions during
Cleveland's first term and who is now
"A member of congress from Illinois,
and who has also drawn a pension OF
500 "A month for many years; and ex-
Governor Crittenden of Missouri, who
irawsa handsomer salary as consul
| general to Mexico underthe ~presentad-
ministration; and a number of others
uf the SAME stripe. But the Demo,
cratic papers do like to jump on some
poor devil who is actually drawing
from 81 to Sl2 II month and still is
able to do some work to exc out a
living"

EFFECTS OF DEMOCRATIC RULE.

a year ago this nation was enjoying
prosperity under a policy that meant
permanent and increasing benefits to
the entire people. New manufacturing
enterprises were of daily origin, giving
full employment to labor, while capital
in abundance could be obtained at a
low rate of interest. But the dema-
gogue was abroad in the land last fall
appealing to the ~preiudices of the peo-
pie. Apparently the d~emagogue con-
WINGED the masses they needed a
change, because he wanted an Office.
The change has come and some of the
results hat have taken place in four
months are summed up as follows:
Depreciation of 1000, 100000 in the
value of American securities.
All the plate glass factories in America
slut down for an indefinite period.
Blast furnaces banking fires every day in
the week, curtailing the output of pig iron
enormously.
Textile mills of all sorts in New England
either shutting down or preparing to dose.
All the large iron mines in the Michigan
districts shut down or running with IA short
furce.
Wool at the lowest figure ever known.
Wheat at the lowest price in two gener,
ations.
Balance OF foreign trade heavily against
H..
Money tied up in vaults and banks with
no accommodations to any but regular
customers, and few new loans OF any kind
More men out of work than at any time
since the panic of '73.

The Boston Journal has been making
a canvas of the wooden manufacturers
of New England as to the cause of the
depression in the wooden interest and
the probable remedy. While a differ
cue of opinion was found, especially
among the carpet men, as TO the adj
visibility of free wool, in no instance
was there found n manufacturer who
did not want protection upon his prod
uct. All of them attribute the present
difficulty quite as much to the uncer-
tainty as to what congress intends to
do with the tariff as to the string ncy
of the money market. 1t is not antici-
pated hat n Democratic congress will
keep its fingers off the tariff, and the
wooden manufacturers have shrewdly
figured that by next April at least free
wool NAV be expected.

Col. Ingersoll, who is under no obli-
cations to Wall street or the Roths-
chiIds. gives his views on the financial
situation as follows: This is a bank
ers' panic. The bankers have been
predicting "A panic for years and have
done all they could to fulfill their pre-
dictions. They tell us hat the Sher-
man law has done all the damage, and
they point to the present price of silver
a. one of the results Of the Sherman
law. Certainly silver did not fall in
price because the Sherman bill made a
market for 100000 ounces a month.
You cannot pull down prices by buy
ing. Silver has fallen because it was
demonetized. The value of n thing
depends somewhat upon its uses, and
the main use of silver has been de-
stroyed. Suppose gold had been de-
monetized instead of silver. What
would gold be WORTH"

It now seems quite probable hat by
the time the regular session of congress
meets that freak known as a protection
Democrat will materialize. 1t j. claimed
that a wing Of the party will favor a re-
vision of the tariff on protection lines,
and oppose the ultra tariff reformers or
free traders. They see the handwriting
on the wall and know that extreme
measures mean the collapse and ruin
OF American industries and bread riots
in the manufacturing centers. With a
little aid Republicans can thwart the
pro-British party in their unpatriotic
policy.
