right that such protection be
guaranteed, but it does not look
right that under such law enor-
nous values may be withheld from
satisfying the debts of the house
holder. AS one of the New York
ers remarked: 1.-The spirit of the
Texas homestead law seems right
and Just, but an absolute and
specific exemption of $4,000 or
even $1,000 for a city homestead
would be sufficient, and would be
just to everybody concerned.

WITH all the railroads of the
country, under practically the same
control, the chances of development
by the construction of new railroads
into territory needing them will
be greatly lesSened. 1t is not to
be expected that a company will
build roads to compete with its
own lines, thus virtually doubling
its expenditure and dividing its
present income between the old
and the new. Hence it is to be
hoped that all the RAILROAD kings
of the country many not be com
federated under an emperor, who
will prevent any independent ac-
ti0n on their part.
