The Railroads Will FIGHT.

1t might have been known that
the railroads would not submit to
the reduction of the passenger
rate to 2 cents mile as proposed
in the new law in Ohio. 1t has
been decided by all railroads run
ming through the safe to fight the
reduction to the last ditch in the
supreme court. The officials know
that if the law is held to be con-
stitutional in Ohio, on the ground
that the rates are just as fixed by
the legislature, every other state
in the union will be demanding
the same rates and will take the
same means to obtain them unless
the roads make the reduction
voluntarily. Of course the rail.
roads of Ohio threaten dire
vengeance on the state by with.
drawing all passes and seasonable
excursion rates. This lad no in.
fuence on the law makers, who
were determined to comply with
the demands of the people, few Of
whom enjoyed pass privileges and
fewer, perhaps, were able to take
advantage of the excursion rates.
Therefore it is believed a 2 cent
rate in the long run will prove
the greatest benefit to the creates
number. r.-Drovers Telegram.

continuing the work to Tulia and
Plainview. Our worthy contem-
pories, The Canyon City News
and The Hereford Brand, give
publicity to the fact that "On to
Tulia" is thing to be dreamed
of in future. The reason for the
publication of reports so unfound-
ed and Improbable, we fail to
see. Certainly the stopping or
the pushing to completion OF the
road would not retard the growth
of the flourshing little cities of
Canyon and Hereford. They
each have great stretches at allu-
vial plain contiguous to them,
which when developed, and it is
rapidly being done, will make
them gems of Commerce in the
center of Agricultural Paradises.
The growth of Happy does not
depend on the roads being stop
ped there for a day. Surely, the
thousands of acres of rich land
about Happy, some of which pro
duced 35 buSeels of wheat this
wear, will build and maintain one
of the most beautiful little towns
on the Plains.
Fear not, the road will reach
Tulia within very few days and
material will be at hand to build
the stone, concrete ana brlck

On to TuIia.

The following concerning the
new railroad is taken from the
Tulia Standard of Oct. II:
Tuesday morning work was
commenced on the extension OF
the new railroad to Tulia from
Happy where it has been tenn
porarily stopped to complete the
track from Canyon to that place.
Work will now be pushed till
the road is completed into Tulla
when it will be extended to
Plainview. Plenty of material is
at hand to lay the track to Iulla
and it is expected the road will
reach here within two weeks.
One of the surveyors has stated
that they will be able to run the
next Immigration train into Tulia
which will be about the 3lst inst,
and as a further evidence of the
intention to reach this place at
an early date The Scott-Tracy
Hardware Company have receiv-
ed Bill of lading calling for the
delivery in Tulia of car of wind
mills which is now in transit. 1t
has been currently reported that
work was indefinitely suspended
and that the town of Happy
would be doomed and built before

says
Compare this Democratic nom
inee for governor of the great
state of New York fairly and inn
partially with some of the lead
ing. politicians and papers in
Texas now engaged in denounc-
ing him, and note the result, and
l think he will lose nothing by
the comparison.
"A few winters since when the
weather was colder than for
years before, and in consequence
of strikes, coal was getting
scarce and the coal dealers com
bi..ing to put the price out of the
reach of the freezing poor in
New York City, one man bought
up nearly the entire stock in
sight, and put the price down to
all, and gave to those unable to
buy. That man was w. r.
Hearst.
THAT same winter, thousands
of poor and destitute of the city
were suffering hunger, and one
man equipped number of wag-
ons and kept them supplied with
warm and heathful food and had
them driven to convenient dis
tributing points every day and
fed those hungry ones free. That
man was w. +. Hearst, and these
were but two of many examples
of what he has done from time to
time for the suffering poor, with
out fee or hope of earthly re-
ward.
When the news of that great
Galveston horror was flashed
over the wires, his answer was
three trainloads of needed sup
plies for the destitute survivors,
enroute to the stricken city as
quick as imperative orders by
wire could have them loaded and
started on their journey with
rush" orders.

Neither the Canyon City News
or the Hereford Brand, dear
Standard, can have any good
reason for wishing the road to
keep away from Tulia, The re-
ports mentioned came from peo-
pie mainly interested about Hap
py and were given only as re
ports. j."
Speaking for itself The News
is really glad that the railroad is
moving on to Tulia and also go
ing to Plainview, and such it feels
sure, are the sentiments of all our
Canyon City people.

Mr.. Hearst's Good Fight.

The men and interests making
up the opposition to William r..
Hearst in New York afford am
pie reason why every loyal dem
Ocrat should give hilif enthusi-
astic support. The men who
preserved national honor" in
1896, the insurance grafters,
the advocates of special interests,
the corporation managers, the
Wall street financierS and the
bond brokers who trafficked in
the governments need-all these
are massed solidly against Mr..
Hearst, and their opposition
should solidify the people in sup
port of the man who is making
such an open and telling fight
against these harmful interests.
Mr.. Hearst is making a mag
nificent campaign and is frankly
telling the people just where he
stands. What he has accom-
plished for people in the way of
reforms through the instrumen-
tality of his great newspapers
is an evidence of what he will
do if elected governor of the
Empire state. With Mr.. Hearst
in the governors chair there will
be no more control of New York's
executive by interests that are
adverse to the people.
Mr.. Hearst is specific and plain
in his declarations, while his op-
ponents indulge in generalization
and vituperation. He has taken
the people into his confidence and
may be depended upon to carry
out his campaign pledges. He is
entitled to the support and vote
of every democrat who puts pub
lie good above private profit, and
of every citizen who prefers good
government by representatives
of the people to bad government
by Representatives of special
privilege. -Bryan's Commoner.
Against Mr.. Hearst, who is the
regular nominee of both wings
of the New York democracy,
some Texas Democrats are now
ranged, calling him all sorts of
bad names and in the same breath
they express themselves as per
fectly Mortified at the very idea
of a Texas Democrat finding any
manner of fault with a Demo
cratic nominee of this state
