RAILROAD NKWS.
liailroad news is al ways eagerly
sought after by all Americans, it
mutters not whether the road is
of any immediate eosequence to
them or not. It is the general
¡ verdict in the ruited States (hat
; railroads are the grandest devel-
¡ opers of the age. The most out
; of the way places, the most unten-
able lands ami the broadest un-
j traveled wastes are brought to the
! front and placed in
! communication with
¡ marts of the world.
They purchase their Goods at the
very lowest prices for Cash, and by
so doing can defy competition.
When in need of anything in our
line, be sure to cal on us, and we
will save you money.

Objects and Purposes of Money Advan-
tages of Concentrated Possession.
Efforts have been made time
and again by nations and corpor-
ations to diffuse money through-
out the masses; to prevent horded
wealth; to equalize all men in
riches. The chief aim in this
principle of leveling mankind is
to promote the general welfare,
to increase greater happiness in
the world and diminish distress.
Hie Agrarian system was of this
character. The rulings of Lycur-
gus and of Calligula were based on
lh" contempt iliey had for horded
wealth. The idea uppermost in
the Henry George single tax sys-
tem is based on the same wealth
deeepitating or rather the wealth
leveling system. Itut the entire
method of forced diffusion is a

The United States boasts today
of her Smithsonian Institute, but
the good, yet quaint, old Smithson
was the donor. In Brooklyn
today there is yeta grander enter-
prise on foot, the Brooklyn Insti-
tute of Arts and Sciences. When
tiiis iustitue lias been completed
and opened to visitors tho attrac-
tion it will present to the intelli-
gent researcher after knowledge
unrtjthe lover of arts and sciences,
will fully repay the expense of a
visit to its magniilcient apart-
ments.
In this connection the Scienti-
fic American says:
An extensive movement is now
in progress in Brooklyn, look-
ing toward the enlargement of tho
facilities of tho Brooklyn Insti-
tute of Arts and Sciences, by
erection of a grand edifice to
serve as a permanent abode of the
institute and the establishment oi
an extensive museum, comprising
ail branches of the arte and sci-
ences, laboratories for carrying
on investigations iu all brunches,
rooms for lectures, exhibitions,
and public experimentation, and
an enormous auditortun for large
assembles. Nothing similar to
the Brooklyn Institue exists in
this country, and we doubt if its
like is to be found in tho world;
and the present movement toward
placing it on broad and permanent
basis is one of which any city
might well be proud.
The city of Brooklyn has ceded
a tract of land near the beautiful
Prospect Park, upon which the
buildings are to bo erected, and
proposals from architects and
builders are now asked for, and
the matter thrown opon to com-
petition.
Galveston Jetties.
Was in noto sr, Jan. 27.— Tho
topic of the jetty work at Galves-
ton is still general among tho Tex-
as legislation, It is suggested
that tho upshot will be the ap-
pointment of a special committee
of congress to investigate the
manner in which tho contract is
construed and carried out and the
reasons of the delay in the work.
There seems to be an understand-
ing in civil circles that the differ-
ent views taken of the contract
by the officers in charge of tho
work and the contractors will
force congressional intervention
in some way.
A Prayer In the Texas Nenufc.
The chaplain in the Texas Sen-
ate chamber kindly remembered
the press in his prayer last Satur-
utday. He said:
O Lord, our father, thy tender
mercies are over all thy works;
thou dost give to the wind its mu-
sic, to the flower its fragrance and
its light to every star. The night
is written over with the fires of
thy promise and thy compassion is
newer than the morning. Con-
tinue thy goodness to us for this
day; help us to take up our work
with chcrfulness und pursue it
with diligence und wisdom, and
when the day is done may every
moment stand a witness to our
fidelity. Regard all whom wo
ougt to commend unto thee: let
thy special blessing lad upon the
men who guide the armies of black
types that fight our modern bat-
tles; may they make the press of
this state strong, wise and incor-
ruptable, may it speak with a
prophet's earnestness and warn
with a prophet's lire; may it grow
to be a voice calling to duty and
urging to consecration. Guide
us today and all the days until we
come into thy presence—not as
strangers, but as children coming
home—wo ask for .Jesu ■' sake.
Amen.
