Our neighbor, the Enterprise,
has felt uncomfortable ever since
it shook off little of its old fogy-
ism and advocated a railroad tax
and progress; so now it is rapidly
undoing the little good it did, by
urging fool railroad commission
which will at once put a quietus
on much of the proposed railroad
building, and provide an asylum
second only to the Supreme Court
for its defeated and disgraccd poll
ticians.
Remember, Mr.. Merchant, your
taxes feed in luxury this "Enter-
