TIE interests OF humanity seem to demand the
publication of the following facts: Two months
ago my attention was called to the case of a
poor woman who was said to be afflicted with n
cancer. / found her with an ulcer on her Shout
der at least five inches in circumference, angry,
painful, and giving the patient no rest day
night for six months. | Obtained a supply of
Swift's Specific, which persuaded her 10 try.
She has taken five hot ties, the result of which is
that the ulcer is entirely healed up, nothing
naming but a small scan, not larger than ones
finger nail, and her general health is better than
for dive years past. She seems TO be perfectly
cured.
An old man of sixty seven years has been sub
jeot to scFOfulOns sores for five years. He had
one on his cheek as large silver dollar, swol-
len, raw and constantly exuding very offensive
matter. Another on his loot of the same char
aeter, and several on his hands, ali of about iva
and a half years standing. HIS general health
poor, and he could scarcely get about at ali.
lie has taken Two bottles Of Swift's Specific,
Ihe snres are all well, leaving scarcely vestige
of their former existence, and his general health
better than it has been IN ten years. | consider
its effects wOnderfui-almost miraculous.

AS would be expected the heavy rains of b

went through without washouts losing through
the sufferings of their connections The heavy
rains came at an unfavorable time for shippers
who, in anticipation of the advance in rates OF
to-day, were anxious to push their property onto
the market or at least have it in transit. OF
course the roads will act magnanimously in the
matter, and where the delay was caused by the
inability of the roads to move cars, they Will,
as far as consistent with the arbitrary rulings of
the trunk-line pool carry the property at the old
rates, and, on the other hand, shippers Will
not be apt to take advantage of the misfortune
of certain roads Through which they we're unable
to place cars per agreement. The question OF
interest now is, will the advance in rates or to-

MEXIco celebrated its independence
anniversary ON the 18th inst, pretty
much as we celebrate our Fourth Of
Jnly, 10y ringing Of bells, firing of
cannon, and esser noises. Mexico re-
belled against the Spanish government
in 1910, but the insurgents were put
down with frightful massacres.
Another and more successful revolu-
ton broke out a few years later, and
in 1926 independence was declared,
and conceded subsequently by the
Spanish monarchy. Internal dissen-
sions have distracted the country and
retarded its progress, and it is only
within the last few years since Amer
lean capital and enterprise entered the
country and began the construction of
railroads, that it has known tran
guilty and made any material adj
yancement. A new era of prosperity
seems opening to her unfortunate peo-
pie, which, If un broken, will give her
commercial position among the ma
tions of the earth.

L
Mormon proselytism is becoming
aggressive. Missionaries of that de
nomination are invading every state,
and entering foreign lands, carrying
their pcrnicious doctrines everywhere
and capturing thousands OF converts
by their specious sophlsm and false
representations. They work secretly
among the ignorant classes, whose
weakness is easily overcome, and these
recruits to their abhorred doctrines are
hurri 70 Utah before they
are fully acquainted with the most
vicious features of that religion. Their
peculiar field of operation is now in
the South, where they are making
fast progress in the remote mountain
districts OF Georgia and Alabama.
The polygamous nature of the church
is carefully concealed until the poor
dupes are in their power, where escape
is impossible, and all outside commu-
nication is carefully guarded and pro-
hibited.
All legal methods of repression
against Mormonism have failed. The
effort of Senator EDMUNps, rs en-
bodied in what is known as the Ed
MUNps law, leveled against polygamy,
was laughed at and eluded by the Nor
mons. They control everything in
Utah Territory, defy the laws OF the
United States, and continue to grow in
strength and increase in wealth while
occupying the anomalous position of u
people who acknowledge no authority
of their legal government to enact
laws for their regulation. The Nor
mon hierarchy is everything, the
United States government nothing.
Mormon priests may, with inpunity,
practice and commend doctrines that
elsewhere would speedily consign
their VotarieS to the peni-
Tertiary. A radical and effective blow
must be struck Mt the monstrous evil.
The ease with which the flDMuNDs

which it is defied should convince
congress that there is but one method
of control left, which, though it has
been objected TO rs foreign 10 The spirit
OF our constitution, is not more for
eign than the shame Of polygamy.
The remedy Is the disfrAnchisemen Of
every adherent Of the Mormon
church, the enactment of
rigorous laws against plural
and adulterous marriages, and the APP
pointment of judges who win enforce
and officers who viii execute these
laws. Exclude Mormons from luries,

Mormon jury. Put polygamy in Utah
On a level with bigamy elsewhere,
and make its punishment the same.

A decision has been reached in the
United states district court Mt Chey-
eune, Wyoming Territory, relating to
the practice of fencing in public lands
that may have n bearing on the same
evil that is disturbing the stock regions
Of Texas. The defendants, A. II.
SWAN n Co., one of the mammoth
cattle companies of Wyoming, were
enioined from fencing public lands,
and required to abate fence unlaw-
fully enclosing eleven acres Of
government lands. The conditions
involved in the case were similar to
such as we are familiar with here in
Texas. The company has the legal
right to large territory, and sought
to exclude the smaller ranchers from
water and grazing privileges of adj
Joining public lands by enclosing the
whole ina fence. That is, by fencing
their own lands, they enclosed
these public lands, which were
surrounded by their property. The
opinion of the court concludes with
the declaration that this unlawful
fencing OF large tracts of the public
domain constitutes public wrong and
a nuisance, which is remedial by in
junction issuing from court of equity,
as more appropriate and consonant
with right than any remedy at law.
The decision will prove very
radical in checking the prac-
tees of large companies and
capitalists who have without authority
appropriated the use and occupation
of public lands. This case will proba-
bly, be appealed to the supreme court
of the United States, where the better
opinion is that it will be sustained, as
it justly should be.
1t is unfortunate that this decision
of the federal court cannot reach the
same evil in Texas, as our state laws
afford no protection or remedy
against the enclosure of UNI
occupied lands. Texas is the only
state in the Union which has sole con-
troll of her public domain, it having
expressly been reserved to the state
when it was admitted into the Union,
and for this reason is exempt from the
operation of the federal laws. We
must look to the state Legislature for "A
remedy as the present laws of the state
do not cover the case.

The Speakership.


The forty-eighth congress convenes
on December Sd, and before settling to
business must effect an organization
by the selection ola speaker and other
officers. AS soon as the election re.
turns showed majority of Democrats
elected, nsuring them the organization
Of the house, a quiet canvass was be.
gun among the members-elect by Mr..
Randall and Mr.. Carlisle, two OF the
most eminent and experienced lead
ers of that body, to gain the speaker
ship. Mr., Carlisle was felt to be the
truest exponent Of Democratic policy,
but his opponent has claims that are
not insignificant, and while not in per
feet harmony with his party upon the
tariff issue, he has n strong support
among members who admire his great
abilities in parliamentary organiza-
tlon, Ii is not prudent, however,
with presidential campaign
approaching in which the
tariff will be the chief issue,
for the Democrats TO set over them
selves IN congress, In u position that
makes hitn the third man in the ma
tional government, one who is opposed
to the position his party viii take upon
. that issue.
1t is conceded that the speaker viii
be Carlisle or Randall. The friends of
the latter are confident but canvass
of the vote does not reveal any reason
for this assurance There are 1914 Dem.
ocrauc members OF the house, and OF
these l52 come from the West and
South, whera free-trade sentiment pre-
walls; aud IL from the East. Thus il
is seen that the bulk OF of the vote nee
essary To nominate comes from the
free.traGc section Randall will not
get the entire torty-two votes from the
east, for it IS known that the New
York delegation is solid for Cox, and
after he IS out Of the Held, majority
are for Carlisle. 10 the successful he
must have between sixty and seventy
votes from the West aud south. But
give Carlisle tvothirds OF the south
ern vote and only half the western.
aud he would have uinety.one, and
would need only seven more to elect.
Does II look moro unreasonable that
Carlisle viii set seven votes from the
East than than Randall will get sixty

A COMMON error in this country is
the notion that we do not approach to
England in railway management and
building. Figures just published by
the British government discover,
when compared with statistics OF our
roads, that in many respects we lead
that country in railway development.
The total mileage OF this country was
in 1882, l07, los against IS 455 in all the
United Kingdom. Relatively indeed,
the railway service of England
is stronger than with us,
as roads traverse all parts Of that king
dom, while in this country the vast
regions Of the West are barren Of roads.
We compare more tavorabiy when we
put our older and more ,lensely popu-
lated districts In the scale Of compare
son. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, COM
bined, have nearly the same territory
as the United Kingdom, and their
railway mileage Is 70, 743, against the
IS, 457 miles of the latter country, so
that we are not only relatively hut alb
solutely better provided than England.
