Populist Convention
in Nebraska Not Probable:

Washington, Sept. 15.-Sec-
rotary Edgerton of the Populist
National Committee read q
story this morning to the effect
that there is talk Of calling an
other Populist convention in
Nebraska, his State, for the
purpose of putting ont a Bryan
and Watson electoral ticket.
He said:
81 do not believe this report,
for the reason that Watson has
now been given half of the cleo
tors in that State. Neither do ]
believe that Watson would adj
wise such a course. If sueh a
convention should be called, it
will not be recognized by this
committee.
81 have had nothing what,
ever TO do with appointing
dates for Mr.. Watson in Kansas
and Nebraska. They were sent
out from Atlanta. l. had under
stood all the time that he did
not wish to leave Georgia until
after the State election"
The Secretary said further:
Il don't think that this move
ment, either in Kansas or Ne
braska, will assume proportions
of importance, but that matters
can be amicabIy adjusted in
both States"

Predictions of Railway Officials
on This YEARS. Outlook
Houston Post.

The country having recover
ed from the financial panic of
two years ago, railroad affai. S
have gradually assumed their
normal con lit.ons, although
capital has been somew hat
slow in advancing railroad
building. While the amount
Of new track laid for the past
twelve months aggregated only
about 1900 miles, the lowest
point In twenty years, Texas
headed the list with 224 miles
of new railroad to her credit.
While the past year has not
been very prosperous one
with The Texas roads, owing to
the short cotton crop in the
first place, and hen again the
numerous rate wars and contin
nal disturbance of tariffs, rail
road construction has progress
ed steadily and the prospects
for a continuance Of the work
in this line for the coming year
are very favorable. Already
nearly 600 miles of new track
are projected and building has
been commenced. That the
States 1000 miles of railway
will be increased nearly an
other thousand before the eX-
piration of the present year
there is every indication, but
the outlook for freight and
passenger traffic during the
first six months of 1896 is
anything hut encouraging. Yet
it Must be remembered that
upon the crops depend largely
the revenue of the railroads.
and il is yet too early to adj
vance prediction Of the re-
suits of this. years planting.

crops of the cou try be good.

ings loom up on the proper
