A CENSUS Of those engaged in the late
strike would be instructive, as showing
how many Americans and regularly nat
uralized citizens took hand in ii. The
opinion is freely expressed that the ma
jOritV Of them were unnaturalized for
egners. 1t would also be instructive to
note how many Of those who were en-
gagged in destroying property, burning
bridges and derailing trains were Amer
lean citizens by due course OF law. 1t
willis more conclusive proof than any
yet adduced to convince the people OF
Texas that these outrages, by which life
was imperiled, were committed by their
own citizens. The free franchises OF this
republic have wonderfully civilizing
effect on human character and are among
the most potent factors in evolving man
hood that the experience of the ages has
vet devised. The men who have free
ballot in their hands are moi apt to be
hasty with bullets and bludgeOns.

THE BR0THER-IN-LAW IN POLL.
TICS,


Mr.. Penn, editor of the Laredo Times,
has been nominated for the state senate
In his district, and will be elected. Mr.
Penn is brcther-in-law of Gov. John
coed Gen. Maxey in the United States
senate. The question Of succession will
be settled by the Texas legislature next
year. Putting these facts together some
OF the quld nuncs OF the Texas press
have reached the conclusion that Mr..
Penn aspires TO seat in the Texas sem
ate for the sole purpose Of helping HIS
brother-in-law, the governor, to seat in
the national senate. We have read edi-
torlals in few newspapers indulglng in
some rather unkind remarks predictions
about Mr.. Penn, on this account. 1t Is
charged that Brother-in-law Penn has no
other object in going to the Legislature
but to boom Brother-in-law Ireland's
candidacy, To THE GAzETTE's way
of thinking these criticisms OF and filings
at Mr. Penn are certainly unkind and
altogether uncalled for. It is known that
THE GAZETTE does not boom Gov. Ire,
lands candidacy. But suppose that Mr.
Penn, when he goes to the legislature
does do what he can, with his own vote
and his influence, to aid his relative
Such course win not be without
precedent. In the game OF politics, as Il
Is played In these times, there is NOR,
"take" than "give," 1t is all take, wher
such policy is possible, going on tn,
principle that everything is fair in Low,
and war. Perhaps Mr.. Penn believes, II
all sincerity, that Gov. Ireland Il

from Texas to the senate. 1
is not probable anybody is authorized Il
say Mr., Penn believes otherwise. Ant
II such are his We've, it win b

In fair play, and thinksit Is best TO let MI
Penn vote his convictions. Some peopl
may say 1t Is not very appropriate rol
for brother-in-law to play, but at leas
II is not nepotlsm, and there is not one
we dare say, of the senatorial aspirant
+ who would disdain the aid OF brother

special Investigation In this field. The
object OF the articles is TO present some
OF the results OF late scientific research

an important and almost neglected branch
OF the Labor problem.

he could find no train running at the

other table, which included a separat,

from his house. He then referred to thu
geological formation OF the ground be

that there was an outcropping ledge o
rock which formed link of connection
between the distant railway line and biz
home. 1t was the vibration carried by

THIS country has never seen another
political contest like the one now going
on In Tennessee, conducted by the broth
ers, Alfred (Republican) and Robert
(Democrat) Taylor. 1t moves along as
smoothly as poem. Every day the two
brothers fight each other in debate, and
the crowds that go to see and hear them
are astonishing, The contest has awak-
ened the interest of everybody in the
state and the Tennesseeans are getting to
be rather proud of 1t, for 1t attracts the
attention OF the whole country. Person
allties are not INDUCED In by the brothers,
and the adherents on either side have fol-
lowed the example set by the leaders, so
that the campaign is devoid Of the dirty
bitterness too often attending such con-
tests. The only campaign roorback OF
slander gotten out has been traced, we
regret to cay, to the Democrats. Bot
Taylor, the Democratic brother, is master
of the violin. He can draw music from
the strings like 0rpheus could from the
Tyre. The Democrats have started the
story that the Republican brother plays
upon the ACCORDION. 1t is believed that
this, If the Tennessee people are made tc
believe it, will turn even many stauncf
Republicans from All Taylor.

Webster gives the following de-
finition OF the word "The act or prac-
tice OF wrestling anything from person

brought to our mind by the strong
and emphatic complaint and protest
made by Mr.. V. b. Dickey against
the extortionate freight rates, now being
charged by the pool roads running be-
tween Chicago and the Atlantic seaboard,

ments. Mr.. Dickey owns three large
cattle ranches, one In Montana, one In
Indian Territory, and one in Texas, and
he is therefore heavily Interested in the
cattle trade, and all the time interested,
too. 1t will be remembered that the old
rate on cattle shipments was 25c per 100
pounds, or $50 per car load of 10000
pounds; dressed beef 43bc per 100 pounds.
In the early part of the present year,
the pool roads, all OF a sudden, with
out note OF warning, advanced the
freight rates between Chicago and the
seaboard to Soc per 100 for live cattle and
65c for dressed beef, making $40 per car
load for live cattle and $3.50 per car
load for dressed beef, while under the
operation OF the pool system the roads
settle with each other at $40 per car for
live cattle and S54 per car for dressed
beef, pretty plain way of saying that
$40 per car for live cattle and S54 per
car for dressed beef gives them good
enough pay but under the extortion
system In practice these roads have $50
per car on all live cattle and $40 per car
on dressed beef outside Of the rates that

since the extortionate freight rates were

1000 pounds, aud ell the men that bring
cattle here for sale have to stand this
shave.
Now, when II is considered that the
whole cattle trade has been badly de-
pressed through this year on general
principles, 1t will be seen that these ex-
tortlonate freight rates have from first to

THE earthquake period was a time OF
terror in Charleston, but with all its ter
rors It didn't shock one man, who Is de-
scribed as the meanest man in the city.
There is meanest man in every town,
and this was wealthy merchant en- King
street-a very rich man. When the rail-
roads were giving poor people free trans
portation from the city this man asked
and got dead-head passes for his family.
He was not known to the railroad agent
and so worked that game. His clerks
we're late getting to work the morning
after the earthquake, and he docked them
for lost time. The public has learned OF
these things and the result is that boy
colt has been instituted against the
merchant. People will not buy OF him,
