The corps Of engineers of the Texas
and Pacific or Gould system. have left
Vidalia on their way up the river, and
it is said will survey the road TO
Helena. Ii Is to be hoped that they
will keep near to the river so as to
come as close to our town as possible;
but we very much fear that if they
continue on the line as they started
out from Vidalia on, and which the
Sentinel comments upon, that the
road will run several miles west of as.
Ii will be well for our property own
ers aud business men to keep a close
eye on the owners or the projectors of
this road. There is no doubt that it
will not be built, and we believe at an
early date, aud it will pay them to
have it 10 run as near as possible aod
within the corporate limits. To do
this, inducements will have to be
offered, or we might see the road per-
haps six or eight miles west of us.

An unknown exchange says: "Who

your children are educated; he helps
sustain the church in which you wor-
ship; he is the man who builds house
which enhances the value OF your
property; every subscription paper
that is passed has his name upon IL;
his advertisement appears 10 every
issue of the home paper; he is the one
who cannot afford TO swindle you: he
bears his share of the government:

you are tempted to send money away

AN IMPRESSIVE CONTRAST.

Tammany, with all It's sins, Is as
pure as snow compared with the Quay
rings which have SO long dominated
the politics of Pennsylvania and Phila-
delphia.
After vigorous campaign. In which
nearly every New York paper was ac-
lively enlisted against Tammany, the
latter has been overthrown. The re-
suit was, of course, achieved by Demo-
cratic votes. After similar campaign
in Philadelphia, In which nearly every
local newspaper was actively enlisted
against the Quay rings the latter have
again triumphed.
The contrast is significant and i'm
pressfve. 1t illustrates, in a striking
way, the difference in the moral
standards prevailing among Republi-
cans and Democrats The Democrats
of New. York had an able and stainless
candidate for mayor, yet he was de-
feated because he was held responsible
for Tammany's sins. The Republicans
of Philadelphia. on the contrary, stood
by and elected Quay's ticket. composed
of his known tools and satellites,
against the counsels of their own news
papers and In the face of such ex-
posures OF official villainy as would
have paralyzed any other community
on earth pretending to be civilized.
1t would thus appear that the prem
ium on rescality in the Republican
party is as great as the discount on it
in the Democratic party. The Repub-
lican rank and file will vote for a
known scoundrel on their party ticket.
while thousands of Democrats
scratch" an aggresslvely honest and
exceptionally. capable man on their
ticket because they believe that by so
doing they can best rebuke certain
Democratic bosses for misconduct.

Gossip Of the Rail
Extension in Arizona

PHOENIA. Ariz., Nov. l3 The visit
of President Ripley of the Santa Zee
and party, piloted through Arizona by
f. Nj. Murphy, president OF the late
Santa Fe. Prescott and Phoenix Rail
way company, has lifted much of the
uncertainty concerning railway CON
struction in the southwest. Rumors of
railroad building have been plentiful
during the past few months. but al
though Arizona will probably do more
railroad building than any other State
or Territory In the United States dur
Ing the next twelve months. many of
the projects advertised are utterly
without foundation.
The Santa Fe. Prescott and Phoenix
railroad has passed into the control of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
system. by sale of the majority OF
stock. +. M. Murphy, president, re-
tains block of stock and has by no
means lost his interest in the line be-
tween ASK Fork and Phoenix. which
has been the most important factor in
opening vast mineral and agricultural
resources. The road was money
maker from the start. and its vigorous
policy prior to the sale contemplated
the extension of a number of spurs and
branch lines into regions rich in ma
tural resources. but undeveloped. Its
first experiment In that connection
was the building of the Prescott and
and Eastern, a road running from the
main line toward the Bradshaw noun
tains and opening up the Big Bug dis
trict. The Big Bug country was unde~
veioped two years ago, but since the
advent of the railroad has been
brought to the front prominently with
mines destined to become enormous
producers. The new owners, accord

the policies of the road. but will carry
