Already it seems business men and even commercial bodies lire looking tor ward to and beginning to anticipate the benefits nccruing from a state railway commission or that are expected from It At a recent meeting of the Galveston cotton exohange President Runge discussing railroad discrimination against Galveston stated that the two committees on freight rate discrimination appointed during the year by the exchange had collected a lot of valuablo infor mation for future use before the railroad commission of the state ot Texas The cotton exchange is one of tho most important bodies in the state and is evidently not greatly impressed with the notion afilicting some tnat a commission may be and probably will be a black beast that will devour us all body nnd breeches Ou the contrary so far is it from apprehending any harm from the commission it is preparing to go before it the moment it is constituted with a demand for relief against what i considers to be unjust discriminations in freight charges Suoh an announcement by the president of the cotton exchange a most intelligent body of business men is a justification before hand of the wisdom of constituting a bodv that wiij serve as an umpire between tho railroads uud the people If such wealthy and Influential bodies as this look to tho commission tor help how much more so may the people who are not wealthy or organized look to It If it shall prove to be a bonefaotor to the cotton exchange as that body appears to think what is thore to prevent its doing good for all The statement of President Runge is a sufliciont answer to all tile carping and complaining we have heard concerning the harm that a commission may do HOWA1IEE1CAX CITIES ARE GOV ERXED The Forum for the current month con tains a very interesting article on city goverument in the United States from the pen of Andrew White With very few exceptions he considers city government in this country the worst in Christendom the most expensive inefficient and corrupt In our prinoipal cities everything is at sixes and sevens nnd nothtmr is done according to business principles The city halls are dens of corruption where jobbery venality and rascality rule triumphant Aldermen ore recruited from the slums and owe their elevation to bribery corruption and often scoundrelism Men aro placed in charge of gront municipal interests who If they had their deserts would be inmates of stnto penitentiaries Many of them know nothing whatever of business management are grossly ignorant and would never be entrusted by an iudividual with the conduct ot the commonest business As a natural consequence city debts are enormous taxation exorbitant the paving lighting and sewering of most of the principal cities wretched and everything doue under municipal control of tho costliest and the worst Kvery American returniug from Europe is nshnmed of tho rotten wooden wharves and docks that present themselves to view at New York nnd Philadelphia A remarkable contrast is shown to exist between the wretched government of American cities and the thorough nnd efficient government ot European cities In Loudon Paris aud Rerlin one sees verywhero evidences of the ablest most prudent nnd farseeing business management in the opening paving nnd lighting of streets the building of magnificent quays and docks the construction ot acqueducts and sewers the erootion of costly art monumeuts halls and city buildings and all without frio tion without noise or tho interminable squabbles nnd disgraceful exposures of jobbery and corruption tha1 characterize such undertakings in American cities llerlin is a city of 1100000 inhabitants magnificently equipped with every modern improvement gorseous in the splendor of its publio works its museums halls monuments and publio buildings and yet its public debt would barely meet the yearly interest ofNew Yorks enormous debt The excellence of her municipal management is due to the tact that some of the ablest men of the Germnn empire are put at the head of affairs and bums and boolders are relegated to the rear So in other European oities Men of capacity of experience and knowledge aro entrusted with the control of municipal affairs who see to it that what is done is well done The prima cause of tho rottenness prevailing in American municipalities is attributed to party politics which have no place in the government of European cities Until city government ceases to be a political institution and is administered on the principles of a great corporation in which business methods shall rule itwill of necessity be the sport of the boodler and the corruptionist How to eliminate party politics is tho question It must be done somehow if ruin and chaos ar to be prevented There to be Licked Denver News VCcbster Flanagan whose question What are we bore for electrified the national Republican convention at Chicago registored nt the Windsor hotel Testerduy Mr Flanagan is a leading Republican politician of the South and polled 70000 rotes a a candidate for governor of Texas at the recent election His Democratio opponent carried the day by more than EjJOOOO majority I had no hopes of being elected said Mr Flanagan last night but If such a miracle could have been wrought it would have been worth millions ot dollars to the state of Texas WHOOPS FOIt TEXAS Mr Flanagan is regarded us one of the pioneers of his state having taken up his residence in Texas fifty years ago when it was on the borders of civilization and had not yet been admitted into the union In that time said he I have seen a mighty commonwealth spring up which today produces ona fourth of the cotton or tho United States nnd whose resources in lumber wheat stock and all classes of agricultural products ere inexhaustible There is certainly no state ot the Union that can compare with Texas in variety and abundance of natural resources With deep water which will soon be secured at the mouth of the Brazos nt Aransas Pass and at tho mouth of the Sabine the is bound to ndvauce upon a career or almost unexampled prosperity As an illustration of the size of the state state Mr Thompson said that years ago his trips to the oapitul were made on horseback the journey requiring ten days at the rate of forty miles a day There are still eightysix counties in the state that are entirely without railroad communication with the rest of tho worid In speaking of the Farmers Alliance the visitor said that it has certainly captured the Southern Btntes but its luok of leadership threatens the early destruction of the organization Mr Flanagan says there are no race disturbances iu his state as iu many other parts ot the South He estimates that the census returns will fall at least 25 per cent short of the actual colored population of the South He assigns the cause mainlv to the incompetency and carelessness of enumerators The object of Mr Flnnagnns trip to Colorado is to visit old friends of whom Governor Routt stnuds out ns a prominent figure The two were quite Intimate in Washington and the Texas man was one of the foremost chnmpions of Routt He prophesies that Ulaine will be the next Republican candidato for president COMING TO TEXAS The Movement on Toot toSettle a Portion of Irelands Poor in Texas The Picture of the Lone Star Plate Drawn by an English Journal Texas and Ireland Both Benefited Liverpool Journal of Commerce Nov 13 1390 While there are greatly divergent views held concerning the oxtont to which the potato orop in Ireland will be blighted there is absolutely no difference of opinion as to the statement that great distress does and will exist inthe agricultural districts of the three countries during the coming winter The societies which do a great deal of good work in alleviating the annual chronio suffering of the country laboring and farming cusses are issuing specially strong appeals to tbo phllahthropic for increasud subscriptions and tha Liverpool Journal of Commerce in a late review of the wheat crop for 1810 pointed out the very remarkable fact that tho keen levelbeaded corn merchants of Liverpool were fixing their estimates nnd prices upon tho assumption of a great decrease in the crop of potatoes Even last year when thore was undoubtedly avery good harvest the distress was exceedingly acute for tho fall in prices affected tho solanum tuberosum as much as anything else and the unfortunate small tenants who trusted to a good market for the wherewithal to pay the rent were bitterly disappointed when they found that the splendid yield meant iu some cases less prices than sufficed to pay the cost of carriage The difficulty of meeting with this chronio everpresent distress is one which has engaged the attention ot every English and Irish statesman for some considerable time back but its solution except in the way of emigration is just as near now as it was twenty years ago Equitable land laws have perhaps helped to improve the wellto do farmers and through them the peas antry hut the latter class are still crying out bitterly for bread aud now and again it is found utterly impossible to refuse governmental assistance to the unfortunate people It is not therefore an unpardonnble sin for those who have found that only one remedy has so far succeeded In making any permanent impression on the poverty of the peasantry and small farmers if they should turn again to their old love and endeavor nt all events to do some little good by again pursuinc the beaten track It is rumored on very excellent authority that a movement is on foot for the purpose of forming nn emigration syndicate who will buy land iu the Western and Southern states of America and advance money to Intending settlers for the purpose of establishing a large number of the most distressed people in the states mentioned If our information bo correct it is not the intention ot the promoters and there are many good names amongst them to pauperize the people by presenting tbem either with passage money or land but the transaction will be purely a business one a moderate interest being charged for the loan and so certain is the surety of repayment that not the slightest difficulty is apprehended as to tho raising of the necessary capital It Ig said that the sum of 10 is sufficient to pay for the outfit passage money and railway fare ot each adult passenger right to tbo spot of his destination in such a state as Texa and once there the promoters of the proposed association are confident of their ability iu a short time to turn the most povertystricken Irish peasant Into a thriving prosperous farmer the owner of his land in perpetuity and the founder maybe of one of the first families in the American republic Emigration has undoubtedly a great many enemies but the forces ar rayed against it are as much due to those who in the past have mismanaged affSlrs as to the natural love of home so dear to the Irish heart The pictures painted in Martin Chuzzlewit were unfortunately only too well borne out by the facts of the case and to the spirit many a bravehearted Mark Topley is due to the fair fields and happy home steads of which the great republic justly makes boast But properly orcaniztd emigration conducted by men with the welfare of the people and the pride of the country at heart Is a laudable thing wherever misery exists At all events no one can gainsay that it alleviates temporary distress and substitutes permanent wealth Ju any circumstances this is claimed by those who ore best ac quainted with the condition or tho people who in the past havo emigrated to Texas and California nud the fact thot during the last ten years the former state has just doubled its assessment and population and now contains some 3000000 of inhabitants is surely corroborative of the assertions thus put forth When one considers that Texas contains 274350 square miles of territory equivalent to au acreage of 17j5S7S40 thus giving nearly a square mile for every person in the state one gets an idea of the vastness of the place and the amount of land which must bo waiting cultivation Government statistics show that there ore some thirty millions oi acres of railroad land in this state alone which can be bought at from two to five dollars per aero and railway communication is now in such an advanced stage that markets are easily and cheaply found for every product grown fo much that is favorable has been said nnd written about the stato under notice that it is Indeed difficult to strike fresh ground fcr its climate products mineral resources plontifulness of land educational advantages and general prosperity place it far nhead of any other stute perhaps excepting California which is more difficult to reach in the republic When we sny that bacon is quoted at four pence per pound beef a penny to three pence per pound and flour a penny to threehalf pence per pound while at the same time ordinary luborurs receive au average of thirty shillings per week including food further description is to a certain extent superfluous for when high wages plenty of work and cheap food run to gether the prosperity of the lower clnsses needs no further fillip To fully under stand the claims of the state ono has to consider that there is practically no winter and farming coes on all tho year round Imagine a country whero whent is sown in the nutuinu oats nud barley in winter and corn and cotton in the spring where double and iu some cases treble crops of everything can readily bo obtaiueJ every year where five different crops of hay can be raised in twelvemonths nnd where the native grasses are almost the only food of magnificent easily reared livestock of every description and you havo a fair notion of the present position of thincs in tho Lone Star State A native of Great Britain whn has never seen cotton pod in his lite takes to cotton planting as if to the manner born and the immenso superiority of tho fiber of this portion of America is best illustrated by tbo fact that it commands the best prico in the market Lust year the value of the cottou crop Texas amounted to no loss than 11000000 sterling anil the reports of those who have travelled tho state aro entirely unanimous ns to tlie absence of poverty or discontent and the wonderful future in store for its Inhabitants In a word this is one of the finest countries iu the world and only needs nu access of population to render it one of the most powerful It Is well that if emigration should have to be resorted to it should be taken in hand by men of the very lirst position in the iand so as to guard acainst the uudoubted evils which a reckless nud irregular stampede often gives rise to aud we therefore look forward with intorest to the publication of I HV6 lonary 1281 pagtM rAcrsoprepaidta txprcts tjfilc nearul the tubtenier The Great the names ot the directors in the pro I operations posed company Tho emigrants can make suro of an exceedingly kind reception from tho Texas people for nn increase iu population in these sparsely peopled districts is considered absolutely essential to their full development The government of tho United States is of course always happy to see its distriots becoming more thickly populated and every possiblo help is afforded to settlers on their arrival Tho railway companies nre also interested from a peouniary point of view for more people mean lamer crops and more freight so that the companies iu question may be relied ou to favor tho projeot to every extent in their power As we have said the chief feature of the proposal is the fact that the people are uot to be pauperized Permanent cood is very seldom obtained by a policy of workhouses but it often happens that a welltimed stimulant may stave off the sickness until strength is gathered to overcome it altogether There are many capitalists who hold this view in high regard and the security afforded them by the magnificent land of the country ought surely to be sufficient to satisfy the most exacting The price of land in Texas as in other places differs according to tho position of tho plot but the whole title and freehold can bo bought at rates varying from twelve shillings to per acre In the case of people going ovor who do not want to buy tbo land out right a most equitable cooperative system of renting furms is in practice the owner furnishing the house land and improvements and the renter tho teams tools and provisions and out of the crop tho landlord receives ns rent onethird of tho grain and onefourth of the cotton Tho latter system is becoming a favorite one in the state for emigrants with little capital but a very few years suffices to placo tho tenant in possession of his holding Another plan is to purchase the farm by paying a fortieth of the money every ypnr for forty years and considering the average price of land this would mean that a farm of fifty acres paying at the rate of thirty shillings per annum would be free in forty years Labor is in very great demand and men even if not courageous enough to start farming are never out of employment Statistics ore of courso everywhere to be met with and hence thero is little use burdening this article with figures but if it be remembered that tho tremendous area of Iand awaiting cultivation in Texas is of the highest possible class for almost every known fruit end vegetable that cattle are easily reared and cheaply fed that land is almost given away that an enormous demand for labor exists and that the climate is equal to that of Italy nnd is indeed the sanatorium for the rest of the states there is no need for further comment except to remark that the idea of regulated emigration conducted by friends of the people is one which must commend itself to every right tbinkinz person for In spite of all argument or persuasion avery large number ot people will stlli continue to emigrate and it Is as well that their future homo should be vouched for by gentlemen of Integrity and position A great deal depends on the men who take the thing in hand for their trust is
