RAILROAD Progress
IN SOUTHWEST TEXAS
Especial to the 1rlbune)

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. o.
That the coming twelve months
will bring about great strides in rail-
road building in Southwestern Texas
is now apparent. It is assured that
line will be built westward, with
Eagle Pass as the ultimate western
terminal. Work has already begun
on extending the Chrystal City &
Uvalde road east from Gardendale
into the McMullen country where
large developments are on. Work on
the proposed line from this city to the
Lower Rio Grande Valley is progress
ing nicely, two surveys having been
completed and the bonus committee
is meeting with that encouragement
which practically assures that the
road will be built. For the building
of this ~oad construction company
with $450,000 paid up capital stock
was organized in this city some weeks
ago through the efforts of the chamber
of commerce. Under the direction OF
President B. F. Yoakum of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, survey has been made
for a line from this city northwest
to Fredericksburg. In the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, Sam Robertson, who
has built an interurban system out OF
San Benito, has secured franchise
for the extension of the line into
Brownsville, the right to build into
that city specifying that, the road
must be in operation within two years.
Taking the work that is now going
on and the preliminaries which are
making, evrything indicates an era
of railroad building in the southwest
part of Texas in the near future that
will exceed any similar efforts in
the mast.

You say that you have trials and
care, that sorrows invade your life
and home, that trouble is constant
ly arising, that you are burdened
with grief. know it is so. There
is scarcely home anywhere that
has no cloud, and scarcely heart
without it's burden of grief and
care. Nearly all faces have traces
of darker hours, and many show
signs of having come up out of
much tribulation.
And wherefore? Well, do not
care to add sorrow to sorrow by
referring to causes. l have far
sweeter message, and, as the song
goes, "Tis message from above,
hallelujah! Jesus said it and |
know tits true" 1t is this: "Come
unto me, all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you
rest. Matthew xi-28.
Everyone of US can say, if this
Caller is calling those who have
tasted sorrow and grief, who have
trials and heartaches, He certainly
means me, and I will 60 and see
what He wants. God helping me,
I will go and see what He can do
for me. Such a resolution is the
beginning of a blessed experience.
1t is a door that opens to rest of

Him and turned away disappointed
for He says, Him that cometh un-
to me l will in nowise cast out"
A poor woman came to Him
once. She was bent with pain and
stricken with poverty; timidly she
reached out her bony hand and

Blind George Matheson said:
"Lord, when I am laboring, and
heavy laden, bind me with Thy
yoke. NOTHING but the yoke can
bind my wounds. Thy yoke is
humanity-a sense of the common
pain. There is nothing that will
cover my personal scars but Thy
cross. Let me join the procession
to Thy cross. Let me help Thee to
bear it. Let me share Thy pain

will bind my wounds. Carrying
Thy cross will give lightness to my
own. The pity of Thy tears will

Assist the Health Authorities.

The suggestions made by Health OFF,
Ger Woodward in regard to the pre-
vailing epidemic Of measles are timely
and should receive consideration by
every citizen. While measles is not
considered among the dangerous dis
eases. yet carelessness considerably in
creases the death rate
Every person in the city should assist
the health department and report every
case of contagious disease TO the
authorities as soon as its prevalence
is ascertained. 1t is the duty of every
one to do everything to prevent con-
tagion and thus to aid in safeguarding
the health of the city 1t is a mistaken
idea to suppose that such duty rests
alone on the shoulders of the health
department, for it is plain that without
the assistance of the citizens in general
the municipal authorities would be left
powerless to cope with any disease
The measles epidemic, which is caus-
ing some concern to the department, can
be overcome if proper assistance is
given the health officer and his aids.

Chicago. May 12.-Judge George A. Car
penter to-day swept aside the technical
defense of the ten indicted meat packers
and ordered them to trial charged with
the, crime Of conspiring to control the
price Of fresh meat in violation of the
Sherman antitrust act.
In overruiing demurrers the court held
that the indictments were definite and
SUFFICIENT, and IL sustained in trial would
warrant conviction. ' Prison sentences
for ten millionaire packers would follow.
The decision was a serious blow to the
defense in every trust case in the United
States courts, and by the same way
spells disaster for all combinations which.
through technicalities. attempt to escape
the letter of the Federal statutes
There was not a syllable in the lengthy
decision which offered consolation to the
defense.
Attorneys for the packers admitted
practical defeat and will prepare for trial.
An effort was made to bring the case into
court before the summer vacation.
The packers who will make the fight
for their liberty and franchise are Louis

The Situation in the Senate.

The fact has been disclosed that there
is not a working majority of the Re-
publican party in the United States
Senate. The division has been shown
in the effort to elect Senator GaIlinger
as the president pro tempore of the
Senate.
The objection to Senator Gallinger is
not. of course, personal He is the
logical Senator for the position. His
many years of service, his intimate ac-
quaintance with parliamentary rules,
and his knowledge of public affairs all
equip him admirably. He is, however,
conservative For this reason, the So
called Republican progressives have
registered their opposition to him, and
inasmuch as they hold the balance Of
power. the balloting has come to naught
The incident is a forcible demonstra-
tion of political party sadly divided
In the olden days II was the Demo-
cratic organization which suffered from
too much independence. Discipline and
cohesiveness were unknown in its ranks.
To-day the tables are turned. 1t pre-
sents a compact front, working def
nitely and harmoniously in the House
and united in the Senate Whether it
will thus continue is, of course. another
question; but, in the meantime, it views
the spectacle of divided party across
the aisle
1t is not absolutely essential to the
conduct of government that pres; mt
pro tempore be chosen. Vice Prcs!uent
Sherman can, upon the days of his alb
sence, designate a presiding officer
This, however. is a cumbersome and
temporary proceeding. 1t would be
much better if the Republicans, who are
really in d majority when they agree
among themselves, would get together
and elect the president pro tempore
The question is hardly one of devo-
ton to principle, and the public, as
whole, would rather see the Senate
transact business in an orderly manner
than witness a petty squabble over
matter in which no vital issue is in

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
NEGRO SLAVERY IN NEW
ENGLAND.

1t seems strange to think of
New England as slave territory.
yet such II was at one period. A
good authority places the number
of negro slaves in the New Eng
land colonies at the outbreak OF
the Revolution as follows: In
New Hampshire. about 700: in
Massachusetts,. about 5000; in
Connecticut. about 5000. and in
Rhode Island. probably 5000. But
slavery was never popular in that
section. and the opposition to II
was strong. In 1884 the Con-
necticut legislature passed an act
that no negro or mulatto child
born within that State after =
certain date should be held in
servitude longer than until the
age of twenty-five. A consider
able number of New England cit
izens were vitally interested in
the slave trade. In colonial times
slaves were frequently sent out
from Boston and other New Eng
land seaports to the South. They
would buy molasses from ia
maica. turn II into rum, trade the
rum for negroes in Africa, and
sell the negroes as slaves in ia
maica. taking their pay partly
in molasses. Thus IT was a sort
of endless chain. with good profit
in every link. A colonial writer,
Samuel Hopkins. says that in
1870 Rhode Island had about $50
vessels engaged in slave trade.
