Mu. Gould controls the vast volume
of the commerce and traffic of Texas
and the great southwest. It is neces
sarily a fact, that if the glowing manu
factures of Georgia would reach that
territory, or if the railroads of Georgia
wonld reap the benefit of the freights
moved by that system, the}' must be
allied in a greater or less degree with
whoever controls that system of roads.
It is a fact, no legislation which this
state can adopt can effect the relations
which the roads in Texas and the south

trust would or might do, lie made tlii
observation as easily and carelessly as
if he were speaking of two farmers who
had argued upon a little neighborhood
road between their respective planta
tions :
“Rut step by top,” said he, “the
local roads have been consolidated until
to—day we have a through line from
Washington to the Mississippi, where
Mr. Goi i.D has promised to meet us with
liis southwestern system giving us a ]
through line to El Paso, on the border
of Mexico, and putting this country on
the grandest continental route that can
be built, transporting commerce from
ocean to ocean.”
lie does not intend to say, of course,
that there was not a “through line”
from Washington to the Mississippi be
fore the existence of the Richmond
Terminal, because that Virginia-New
York corporation was organized, not to
build railroads, but only “for tlie pur
pose of owning stock in other com
panies.” The idea he means to convey
is, that to-day “we,” that is the Rich
mond Terminal, have this “through

Tlie recent disasters in the Northeas

since Noah’s flood, but this is not the
alf. News frora Europe gives a mel
ancholy report o§ the damage to crops

America. The growing crops will be
seriously damaged if it rains much
more.
During the year and the past few
ears the Atlantic coast States have
been drenched profusely by unlieard-of
floods of rain, and in accounting for the
meaning of three successve years of
floods the New York World says;
‘‘Is our climate changing? We do
not know, and nu more does anybody
else. E xact data for calculation do not
extend far enough back to determine
that point. But there have been other
extraordinarily wet summers as well as
extraordinarily dry ones, so that the
humidity of 1S88 and 1880 will proba
bly prove to be mere facts of no signi
ficance as to climate in general. Eng
land a few years ago had nearly all her
crops destroyed for three years in suc
cession, but since that time her climate
has been as it was before.
One thing is certain, the Atlantic
coast region, from Washington to Bos
ton, and inland to Ohio, has had a most
remarkable series of rain storms this
summer, and apparently the end is not
yet.”
