1t May Become a Trunk Line.

A special to the Dallas News says: I
am informed by PARTY interested III
the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gull
reorganization that one OF the pr1nci-
pal aims of the parties connected with
the reorganization committee. outside,
of course, of making the usual fees and
PERCENTAGES provided for in such Eases,
is to get the property on it's feet, and
keep it in line with the management
of the other southwestern systems, in
which members of the committee have
considerable interest, as they have also
in the syndicate which. purchased the
Chicago and Alton railroad, and 1t Is
by no means unlikely that the proper
ty will turn up eventually as Q part OF
the Chicago and Alton.
Some very we'll informed people have
held to the opinion from the start that
the aim of the committee was to get
the Pee Gee out of the way as free
lance, and give it Q legitimate stand
ing as southwestern trunk line by at
taching it to the Chicago and Alton,
which has never built beyond Kansas
City, and could easily support to ad-
vantage a southwestern connection
reaching the gull. ,-. ~.
For some time past it has been ap-
parent to close observers that the
Southwestern trunk lines have been
kept in very close harmony. Outside
of the occasional slashing of rates by
the Pee Gee, the balance of the south
western lines have generally been in
accord in dealing with rates in their
own territory, as well as meeting COM
petition outside oft. 1t is believed
there is some comprehensive, plan in
view to bring the lines running from
Chicago and ST. Louis to the southwest
into a closer working agreement than
has ever been attempted
before The situation has been
gradually shaping in this direction for
some time, and the advantages to re-
suit to the roads are easily seen, their
interest in every case being identical,
except the one exception of the South
ern Pacific company, which is distinct
ly a gulf line, and powerful enough to
hold its own against the field, which it
is preparing to do, which is evidenced
by the work it has begun at Calves
ton and the new mileage 1t has map
ped out throughout the state.

1t was the boast of the republicans
of Lincoln's day that our soldiers in the

the shame of the republicans today that
Lincoln's present successor would have

freedom for all men. They abhor the
policy which would stife the aspira-
tions of 10,000,00O people to govern
themselves. They believe that "all men
are born equal. and endowed by their
Creator with certain nalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness They do not be-

given rights in the Philippines to Pres
ident Mckinley or anybody else for
$20000,000, or any other sum. This is
not in conflict with the precedents in
any of our territorial acquisitions. The
people of the Louisiana territory, of
Florida, of California and adjacent ter
ritories, of Alaska. Hawaii and Porto
Rico came willingly under our flag.
The population of the Philippines is
three times as dense as our own, and
they are contending for their natural
right of self-government. They resist
invasion and subjugation by strangers.
| If our right to govern them was as
clear as was British authority in the
American colonies. and if they had re-
sorted to revolution, their cause would
still be the same as that of our fathers
of 1776, which Burke and Pitt and Fox
thought it not unpatriotic in English
