THE causes OF the present business de-

vestigated by Government commission.
In reply to noble Lord VINO objected to
the commission az unnecessary. Mr.,
Frederick Miner writes to the London
must be prepared to admit that few in
habltants OF this country can recall a
period OF depression which for severity
and duration can compare with that
which we are now going through, and
the end OF which so few are able to see.
At any rate can tell him that is the
universal opinion OF all the large manu-
facturers whom have consulted in our
large commercial towns. think it is
reasonable when such terrible state of
things exists that all those who really
have the welfare oftheir fellow country
men at heart should wish TO have
searching inquiry made into the causes
thereof by men thoroughly competent 10
conduct such an inquiry" 70 which
the New lork sun adds THE report OF
the commission will be looked for with
interest in this country as well as in
Great Britain. The cause Of the trouble
there Is certainly neither protection nor
the silver dollar. Well informed econo-
mists contend that the gold standard Is
to blame, and there is reason to believe
that they are right"

On THE subject Of fair libel law in
Texas, the Fort Worth Gazette SAYS
1.-THE protection of public morals af-
forded by bold and outspoken press,
untrammeled by oppressive laws, was
shown In New York when Tweed was
at the height of his power. He plum
dered the people without remorse. He
bought up legislatures and corrupted the
politics Of the State. When an indig-
nant public sought to bring him to JUS
tice he pointed to the Legislature and
the courts where his creatures ruled
and deiiantly and imprudently asked,
"WhSt are you going to do about it?"
1t was then that the press OF New York
showed its power and its fearlessness.
Day after day ii exposed the corrupt
methods OF the Tweed ring and Bills
tered the rasoals with denunoatlon.
The public was aroused, and under
the leadership OF the newspapers over
threw the combination OF plunderers and
rescued the State from bankruptcy. No
Texas newspaper would dare to assail
public inlqulty, as was done in New
York, for the laws and the courts here
