A CofEMP, Try calls attention
to the wonde. tact that nearly all
the evils of { lay are ascfibed to
railroad influo =. Not only are rail
roads said t. the influence that
corrupts publ morals, but they are
charged with spreading contagion, of,
being the prolific source from which
spring epidelnics of disease. They
create financial panics and send
thousands Of people with broken
hearts to the grave. 1t is wonderful
how the public pulse has been trained
to beat in unison with the sound of
the demagogue, who hopes to ride
into place on opposition to railways.
People seem to forget that seventy
five per cent of the taxable values of
the country arise from railway infiu-
ences. The interests that war against
the railways show up the enormous
sums paid into the treasury of the
railway companies, but they fail or
refuse to show what is returned
again to the people in payment of
service and supplies. The anti
railway influences do not exhibit
tables of the increase of taxable
values of those countries traversed by
the cars. The companies annually
publish tables showing these matters,
but they are of interest only to rail-
road people and TO capitalists The pub
locations are not in form to catch the
eye, nor to move the understanding Of
the masses of the people. a series of
lessons which are fitted to the popular
comprehension. says an exchange,
would 60 far to correct the erroneous
impressions being formed. 1t is get
ting to be considered not the thing
for railway companies to defend
themselves or TO keep the people in
formed on railroad subjects, and hence
it became more than ever proper for
the press, that nearly always leads
public opinion Alright, to throw bar
riers in the way of this dangerous ten
dency. The popular interest and the
railway interest is Identical, and these
prejudices that arise, sometimes on
Just ground, could be allayed by proper
concessions. In Texas there should
be no opposition to railways, and
happily what there was is subsiding.
Railway building has been arrested at
time when nine-tenths of our terri
tory needs their developing influence;
and now when there appears to be
some promise of renewed activity
among railroad builders it is hoped
no indiscreet demonstrations against
them will be INDUCED in. Texas
needs six times the amount of miles
of railway now constructed, and when
this increase is secured, the taxable
values, instead of being something
less than half million, will
be ten billions of dollars. Sure
ly the voice OF the demagogue
will be hushed. The people have too
much at stake to be blindly led by
them amid dangerous pitfalls, to be
confronted with wasteful influences.

The Old Dogma.

ltdlfeSlOu N6WS.I
The Marshall Herald does not SUBJ
scribe to the old dogma that a party
press should depend or shield the
members, and particularly the office
holders, of the party, whatever they
may do. The Herald says truly:
The Democratic press of Texas
owes nothing to the party beyond the
honest convictions that cause them
to support it, and they can afford to
exercise that independence which an
enlightened and patriotic people will
approve. This is the judgment upon
which we have always acted, and
which we will continue to adhere to
in dealing with public men and pub
lie measures. 1t is the only safe and
secure policy to insure wise leaders
and good government.

Bluecoats and Railway influence.

The Texas Indians have always had
a thorough contempt Tor the blue

gan. The builders ran their lines
with an army OF men in advance to

have done more to suhdNs the Indians
in Texas than any other influence

in 1874 began to prepare for
the immigration infax which
followed. Despairing of protec-
ton against the Indians from Uncle

frontier battalion of state rangers,

KEROSENE has become such uni
versal necessity, it is hard to realize
that only a few years ago it was an
unknown consumption. James Young,
who died in London three or four
years ago, was the first to discover
the means whereby petroleum. crude
is changed into the finest and cheapest
illuminating oil ever known. He
made the discovery in 18i7, and since
then the petroleum industry has
grown to bs one of the greatest in
this country. with invested capital
amounting to hundreds of millions,
and an annual product which exceeds
in value the worlds yearly production
of the precious metals. Mr.. Young

A RECENT Michigan law permits
testators to establish their wills during
their lives. This is decided a new de-
parture in the judicature of wills.
The act provides that man may
make his will, go before the probate
court, summons his heirs and lega-
tees, and make his will. Thereafter
there can be no contest on the plea of
undue influence or unsoundness of
mind The act does not render in
valid wills not SO proven, but leaves
them to occupy the same position
they would have held had the new law
net been enacted. The act was passed
to avoid the contest of wills.

No Danger of a Panic.

Hartford Courant, Rep.J
Some people talk of panic, and the
good Mr.. Keene foreSees crash such
as was never heard before. But the
first condition for a real panic is gen.
eral confidence, and confidence we
have not had in financial circles since
1873. There have been individual in
stances of recklessness and there has
been wild speculation; but the gener-
al money market cannot be said to
indicate confidence so long as per
cent bonds sell at 120, and 8 per cents
sell above par, in new and growing
country like this. The croakers can
look the bond list over and they need
not feel sure of ruin until there are
more signs of confidence shown there

Latent IdiOcy.

According to the Troy Times latent
idiocy in this country is appalling.
A young man in Reading, Pennsyl-
vania, is now engaged in the arduous
task of eating five goose eggs at one
meal each day for twenty days. The
fact is attempted on a wager, of
course. and is reported to create ex-
element. The young man is bigger
goose than the feathered biped that
supplies the eggs. The fool-killer
ought to start for Reading at once.

The Taxation Problem.

ISan Francisco Call
Taxes OF any kind do not collect
themselves, and perhaps direct taxes
are the hardest to collect of any. The
internal revenue system costs about
100000. The revenue derived have
been about $145.OOO,OsO. The per-
centage is not, perhaps, large, but the
collected from a revised tariff at a re-
duced expense. The custom house
will have to be maintained for many
years to come, and it may be found
wise economy to so shape our revenue
laws as to impose upon this branch OF
the public service the entire duty Of
collecting revenue,
