COMMISSIONERS COOLEY and Morrison
of the Interstate railroad commission
attended meeting of railroad managers
in Chicago last week, to insist upon q
closer Observance of the Reagan law by
the members of the Western States and
Central Traffic Association. One Of the
chief grounds of complaint is the pay
ment of commissions by the road to
scalpers, which Mr.. Cooley declared
must be stopped. Railroad men, who
have been interviewed as to the probable
result of this deliverauce of Commissioner
Cooley, are all of the opinion that the
scalper's occupation is not likely to be
taken from him soon. He is the result
of a condition, and he cannot be a0ol-
ished by theory.

TIE grand master Of the Pennsylvania
Patrons Of Husbandry, in his report 10
tee annual meeting OF that order re-
Gently held at Harrisburg, complains that
the state EFFORTS mere than five millions
of dollars from the farmers, above their
first proportion of the taxes. This is The
result, he says, of dividing the subjects
into two classes, corporate
and personal property, to be taxed ex-
clusively for state purposes, and real
estate, to be taxed exclusively for
the maintenance of township, borough,
county and municipal government.
Under this system the corporations and
the Weather classes, whose property
consists chiefly of personality, maintain
the state government, while the more
serious burdens of local government rest
upon the shoulders of the farmers and
real estate owners. The Pennsylvania
theory that the legitimate purpose flax
alton is to make richer the rich is not en-
tirely forgotten even in the local affairs
of the state

TIE OLD OLD lSTOPI-

The latest figuring places West Virginia in the
Democratic column on the presidential ticket by
about 536 majority. This is bad for that plucky
and enterprisinG little state. a Republican ma
iority would have ct once given it credit and a
prestige in other parts OF the country which it
can never hope 10 gain while it is controlled by
the Democrats. However, West Virginia is less
Bourbon and more progressive than any other of
the old slave states in the eastern section of the
Union.-[St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Now, why; pray? What has the poll
tics OF any Southern state TO do with its
credit save to commend that credit to the
public because appreciated by honest To-
cal government? Texas is something of
q Democratic state itself, and the credit
of Texas is as good rs that of any Repub-
lican state III the Union. The CD.
would have us believe that all the
money in the country is owned by Repub-
lioans who viii not lend it to a people I'M
less they become Republican in politics.
This kind of nonsense is tireSome. Mon
ey wants interest, and only avoids locali-
ties represented to be dangerous. Dem
ocratic and Republican money has come
in millions to Tennessee, Arkansas, Ala
bama, Georgia and Texas, and yet
all these are Democratic states.

Walcott against the field, with the
chances in favor of Tabor if Walcott is

NOT SURPASSED IN TIE SOUTH

Texas Post (German): Nothing is
more remarkable in Texas advancement
than the progress of her journalism.
Yesterday our esteemed contemporary
the Fort Worth GAZETTE, came ont in
splendid new dress and printed on Il rapid
press. 1t now presents genuine metro
pOlitan appearance. THE GAZETTE is
now fully i'll the lead of all Texas papers
and i'll appearance, make up and news
matter is not surpassed in the South. 1t is
certain that no city i'll the United States
whose population is not greater than Fort
Worth has so excellent a newspaper.
There is no good reason why Fort
Worth should not furnish
the South with news. There
are several cities in Texas larger than
Fort Worth, but none possesses such
grocery establishment as that of Joseph
II. Brown. And for the same reason,
the Fort cun supply the state with news.
The Post VIII not say it wishes THE GA
ZETTE success, for in its new building,
with its pretty new dress, its rapid ma
chineIy, its able editorial staff, It's sound
business management, its thorough tele-
graphic service, ard its superb state spe-
cial system, it deserves success and will
attain H. but the Post tenders TIE GA
ZETTE the hartiest congratulations.

''The chief justice, - says a Chicago
Tribune writer, 'SitS between Justices
Miller and Field. To the latter he rarely
or never speaks, while on the bench, but
he frequently consults with the former.
Between Miller and Fuller there appears
to be q close fellowship, and the Iowa
justice has been Il sort of mentor and ad-
wiser OF the new chief. When in doubt
about anything or lacking in confidence
i'll his knowledge of court etiquette or
precedent it is to Justice Miller that he
invariably turns for counsel. Probably
there was never more alert man than
the chief justice on the bench. Lawyer
like, he is fond OF consulting authorities,
and occasionally he writes long note
and sends il by page TO one or other of
the justices, who are too far away to be
whispered to, but he catches every word
that is uttered by the lawyers. Nothing
escapes him. -

A FITAL LNHERITANCE.

b Despite the rumored assurances of Of
fetal gazettes to the contrary, there are
good reasons for the belief that the young
German emperor has given evidences of
constitutional disease that threatens to
make his reign short one. With
his Inheritance OF kingdom
he received the fatal inheri-
lance OF constitutional weakness that
taints almost every throne OF Europe. If
there be any truth in rumors which have
been often repeated the emperor has be-
gun the physical decline which was so
rapid in the case of his father. In the
event OF his death a regency would be
necessary because of the infancy of
the crown prince. Two events, by no
means improbable, would throw all Eu-
rope into futter of dangerous excite
mcnt: the decease of the emperor and of
Bismarck. Should they occur in quick
succession it is hardly probable that
France would lose the opportunity to set
tie an old grudge and recover its ancient
boundaries.

The Immigration Convention.

If all the Southern states were to adopt
the policy proposed by Mr.. Gruber in the
Southern immigration convention at
Montgomery, nd appropriate $40 200 each
annually for five years to be devoted to
immigration purposes, it would, if prop
erly expended, be the best investment
they could make. Texas, however, is
debarred by her constitution from max
ing such appropriation The rutabaga
members of the constitutional convention
evidently feared immigration would iQ-

4 CODE, NOT A CONSTITUTION.

Il tODE, ROI Il CO-NO In CIIC Wv
the bill introduced in the United States
senate by Senator Farwell of Illinois,
providing for an increase in the salaries
of the chief justice and associate justices
OF the supreme court of the United
States to $40, 500 and $50 GOO, serves to
call attention to the ridiculous small
compensation received by the justices of
the Texas supreme and appellate courts.
The state expects to command the best
legal talent for One-third or one-fourth
the sum that private indiyid-
uals are willing to pay for
it, and, in addition, forces
each man to do the work of two. One of
the misfortunes of the trainers of the
constitution of 1876 was that they were
not able to see beyond 1876. They gave
the state a code instead Of constitution.
That part of theig work which properly
relates to the law-making body ought TO
be stricken out By the next constitutional
convention. The assumption thar MEM
bors of such a convention are wiser,
more patriotic ard more conscientious
than members of the legislature chosen
by the same electors is absurd in theory,
without demonstration by experience and
altogether harmful in its results.
