Exceeding the Limits Of Reason.

Exceeding the Limits OF Reason.
Look over Texas from the Red River
to the gulf Picture the millions of fer
tile acres of farms and ranches. Observe
the great seaport at Galveston, so near
at hand. Nature has provided every
blessing for our commerce. See the big
cotton crop awaiting shipment to the
sea.
But stopl The Texas Railroad Com
mission says you cannot 60 there. that
you can ship to Houston, 30 miles in
land, but if you go to deep water. you
shall be charged another rate-that it
will cost yon heavily.
We are neither at Houston, NOR taking
sides with Galveston in this matter.
We are not considering either of those
cities.
The Commission makes rate of Acc
on cotton for over 160 miles, except
south of Houston. From there to Gal
weston they add difierential of &c per
100 lbs.
Farmers always have to stand the
rate on cotton to the seaboard out of
what they receive. They paid out for
this up fair differential the startling sum
of $3.50, 900 last season, which was
dead loss. They are the losers by an
immense amount during past years, on
account of it.
There seems absolutely no justifca-
ton for this diferental. Let us explain
briefly. Take Mexia for instance:
Mexia to Houston 1870 miles, rate 89c
MeXia to Galveston 229 4" 55c
Dallas to Houston 264 Acc
This plainly shows that Mexia to Gal
weston is 80 miles shorter than from
Dallas to Houston, and farmers have to
pay Soc a bale more for less haul to
Galveston, which is absurd. Or take
Mexis to San Antonio 230 miles, rate
Acc. What is the sense in making &c
differential higher rate to Galveston for
same distance. Again compare:
Seguin to Houston 274 miles, rate 49c.
Seguin to Galveston 204 miles, rate 55c.
Seguin to Beaumont 258 miles, rate Acc.
Seauin to Dallas 296 miles, rate Acc.
Seguin to Texarkana 418 miles, rate 49c.
Just look at that excessive rate to
Galveston. Is it reasonable?
Again examine Temple to Houston
via Santa Fe 213 miles, rate Acc.
Temple to Galveston via Santa FL
2tS.3 miles rate 55c.
Galveston is practically the sam,
distance in this case, but farmers ar,
made to pay &c differential higher. TIL,
same gross injury is done to farmers al
along the Santa Fe line in Texas.
Similar astonishing comparisons cal
be made from all other points like En-
mis-, Hillsboro, Corsicana, ETC., which
r are burdened with arbitrary higher rate
to Galveston. These figures divulge al
apparent outrageous abuse of rate max
ing power by the Commission, in favo
, of railroads, which should not be sub
, mitted to much longer by deluded ant
damaged farmers of the State. -Stat

and is far better than any of the ordin-

would be credit to any state in which
1t might be located. 1t demonstrates
the facilities for education that exist
here and shows that we are not per.
petually fighting among ourselves, but
that most of us are trying to educate
our young men and women so that
they may play their parts in the i'm
portant battle of life in manner that
Will reflect honor to themselves and
the state in which they live. An in
stitution such as is the Agricultural
College ought to be fostered well. The
instruction impaired in such a school
is of practical nature. as the book
alluded to so well informs us. Do
nestle science and the mechanical arts
are taught in addition to book lore
and when a student has graduated
he or she is not only fit to enter upon
active duties, but both are well quail

which attend upon married life. A
graduate OF an educational school like
this makes the best husband or the
best wife. Truth feels like extending
its congratulations to the compilers
OF the work who have done so well
and to those who have so performed
their duty as to make it possible for
the publication of such splendid
book.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11-Such market as
there was for stock to-day was restricted to

Of a spirit OF hopefulness for higher prices.

Board of Works Orders Tenn
porary Expedient to REM
edy Condition of Streets

The Board of Public Works yester-
day directed Boone, inspector OF street
repairs. to supervise the placing OF red
rock in the numerous chuck-holes In
the bituminous street pavements as
temporary expedient to remedy the dis
graceful condition of the city's thor
oughfares due to the persistent disputes
between the Supervisors Finance Com
mittee on the one side and the Board
of Works and the T. M. Yorke Com
pany on the other.
No work has been done by the latter
company, which has the $4,000 contract
for repairs to bituminous pavements.
since the controversy began some two
months ago. The company demands
payment of some $4,000 due for previ-
Gus work, alleging that the money is
required for it to prosecute further
work. The Finance Committee will
not pay the September demand of the
company unless 1t resumes the repairs,
and there the matter stands. Commits
sioner Aigeltinger declared that the
streets are in a frightful condition and
accidents both to human beings and
horses are becoming frequent. He said
some means should be devised to have
the contract carried OUT.
The Board of Public Works desires
to reduce the possibility of accidents by
filling in the most dangerous chuck
holes with red rock. The holes in front
of the Phelan building will be treated
in that manner, as they are probably
the most dangerous ones in the city.
The cost of the work, Commissioner
Maestretti said. cannot be met with the
appropriation for repairs, but will be
paid.
The board cited the members Of the
r. M. Yorke Company to appear at its
meeting next Saturday morning for the
purpose of holding a conference with a
view to repairing the bad pavements.
Counting the work already done, which
the city has not yet paid for. there re-
mains some $4,000 to be expended. and
in the present condition of the streets
this amount is not one-tenth enough to
improve them.
City Architect Shea reported to the
board that the attorneys of the Cowell
estate say there is difference OF eight
cen inches between private surveys and
the City Engineer surveys Of the lines
of Merchant, Sansome and Clay streets.
The estate Is about to erect an eight
story building on the east side of San
some street, between Merchant and
Clay, which, according to the lines of
the city map, will prove an encroach-
ment.
To prevent this Shea asked that the
City Engineer furnish the official lines
of the three streets named and this was
ordered to be>done.
The board recommended the curbing
and the bituminizing of Grove street,
between Scott and Devisadero. the city
to pay for one-half OF the work and
property owners agreeing to pay the
other half
