TIE RAILROAD QUES-
TON.

The San Antonio Express
seems TO attach some impor
lance to the newest scheme for
building railroad from San
Antonio TO Brownsville, the
final survey for which was
begun recently. The people of
this region feel encouraged by
the confidence displayed by the
Express and take hope from it
that the projectors of the
scheme really mean business.
If they can only demonstrate
plainly their ability to build
the proposed road, and give un-
mistakeable evidence of their
Intention to act in good faith,
the people Of the lower Rio
GraBde will offer them a cor
dial welcome, and also insure
them a most Substantial sup
port in the way of bonus and
right of way. When Governor
Mainero, of the Mexican state
of Tamaulipas, was in Mata-
moros last week, he informed a
Humber of leading citizens that
he had recently interviewed
President Diaz regarding the
granting of a concession and
subsidy for a railroad from
MatamoFos to- Monterey aud
Victoria. He said that the pres
ident assured him that he woHld
most certainly grant a liberal
concession aud subsidy for such
an enterprise, PROVIDED the
applicants for the concession
could guarantee their good faith |
and also that they had the nee-
essary means to build the road. |
he was tired, he declared. of
granting concessions to ire
spoDsible parties, aud only
ander the stated provision !
would be consent to grant any
more. That is just the way that
sbe people of this section feel
about raising a bonus for a
railroad. Like President Diaz,
rh~y are tired of raising sub
sides for irresponsible parties,
and, though they are more than
willing, nay aaxicus, to offer
substantial Inducements for the
construction of a road connect
fBg Brownsville with the outer
world, they will insist upon un-
questionable guaranty of the
good faith and backing of the
company to whom such bonus
shall be granted. If the pro
moters OF ths CoftyVille and
Brownsville scheme can give
such security, they will ua
doubtedIy receive abundant
and substantial encouragement
from our citizens.

GOFFEEVILLE. TO
BRO WNS VILLE.

TO Brownsville will, to use q
homely phrase, fill a long felt
want.
1t is a want which has been
seriously felt by the two cities
which such a road will connect,
and by the people of all the in
lermediate towns and rural dis
'ricts, who are at present limit
ed in their transportation facil-
tiles to the primitive methods
long since discarded by more
favored and, ortensibIy, more
progressive sections of the
State.
The Immediate effect of the
construction and operation of a
railroad giving Brownsville and
the intermediate country access
to San Antonio and, through the
connecting lines reached here,
TO the outside world would al
most certainly be rapid devel
opment of a territory hitherto
sadly neglected, the conversion
of wild lands and pastures into
fruitful farms, orchards and
vineyards and the calling into
being of prosperous towns and
villages where there are now
but slight evidences OF the ad.
vanced civilization which has
elsewhere followed in the path
way of the iron horse. 1t
would, of course, mean an
other artery of trade for San
Antonio and not merely the en-
largement of her natural com
merciaI territory, but a vast
increase In the number of pro.
dncers who help to feed this
market, and Of consumers who
would draw upon it's reeources
and thereby aid in building up |
it's resources and thereby aid |
in building up its commerce
and Industrial enterprises. The
importance, therefore, of the
line now being surveyed and
located by the Chicago, st.
Louis & Texas Air Line Com
pany in relation 10 San Antonio
aud IT, all the country trayersed
can hardly be overstimated,
even If it promised no more
titan the opening up OF the
territory to the south and
southwest.
The projectors of the new
road, however, contemplate a
trunk line extending from the
Rio, Grande at Brownsville to
Coffeeville, Kas., thus afording
a short aud direct line from
Texas points TO
Kansas City, st. Louis, Chica
go and other leading centers,
which will afford a market for
the early fruits and vegetables
Of this semi tropic latitude and {
for the vsrions other products,
TO some extent.
The road, as outlined by the
projectors. traverses a virgin
territory. 1t is pioneer in a
new field that has languished
for lack of cultivation. 1t makes
possible the DEVELOPMENT and
of vast stores of
minerals, various as the needs
Of civilization. It will bring
IN closer relation the beds of
ron and the hsds of coal. and
