Ralroaa commissioner.s Power.


An important point has been scored by
the state railroad commissioners of Iowa.
The decisions just rendered by the United
States court goes to establish the prlnci-
pie that if such body is empowered by
statute TO fix rates for traffic, their dis
erection is practically unlimited. All that
the railroads can do is to eom-
ply with the requirements of the board.
If the specified scale of charges prove un-
remuneratiYe they can then apply for q
readjustment of them. But until this is
proved in practice, or unless the supreme
court of the United States FeverSeS the
decision, the railroads, so far as making
rates for business within state is con-
cerned, are completely in the power of
the state represented by its board of rail-
road commissioners.
This decision is the more important be-
cause, at this tiRle, the western railroads
are, with some success, endeavoring TO
adjust competition aud maintain rates on
paying basis. Stock and bondholders
of western railroads complain that rates
have been so low that financial disaster
was more than possibility with many of
the companies. On the other hand, pub
lie opinion in several western states, as
indicated by the proceedings of railroad
commissions and legislatures, tends to
the belief that railroad charges
are oppressively high. The
decision in question may serve
as an incentive to further legislative and
administrative activity, based on this
last theory. 1t may, therefore, have an
important and perhaps injurious effect
upon the reforming spirit now prevalent
in railroad circles. But it is somewhat
inopportune as regards the success OF the
efforts by investing interests to establish
stable and uniform railroad rates. The
railroads are among the largest interests
the country possesses. Anything that
really Injuries them must ultimately in
iure the community at large.

NEVIS AND NOTES.

Atlanta, Ca. is now archaeological.
The tomato canneries put up 70 SOS ,48S
cans last year.
New York has about $50 labor unions
out of 600 in existence year ago.
1t is said that not a pound of ice has
been cut in Connecticut so far this winter.
There are eighteen Republicans in the
New Hampshire senate and 1863 in the
house, In the senate are six Democrats,
in the house 145.
Consignments of green corn were re-
ceived i'll San Francisco last week. The
ears were large and well filed out. This
is unprecedented, even for California.

Mr.. Tones, who gives 81 600 900 to

it will enable the girls to support their
husbands without recourse to the wash
tub.
This is a record of governmental twists

Real Southern Development.


The friends Of Southern industrial
progress should recognize that the South
must work out its own redemption with
the aid already at hand. They should
join with those who really want to see a
genuine elevation of the colored race at
the South in opposing the revival of the
race problem as political question.
The people and papers at the North
who talk about ''strong Southern pol
iey'' do not for moment consider how
much the development of manufactures,
mining and railroads at the South is do
ing for the colored race.
1t has resulted already in the employ
ment of colored men in large numbers
and varied capacities. The old idea that
their only utility is as field hands, is dis
appearing. AS coal miners, in iron and
cotton mills, and in the railroad service at
the South, the coloPed man is making his
way and proving his usefulness. This is
self help. 1t is the best way of helping
anybody, white or colored. A political
agitation at thetNoPth, which would very
probably withdraw from the minds of the
colored people the necessity they are un-
der of proving, by their own exertions,
their fitness and capacity for such en-
pigments, would at once injure them
and Southern industries as well. An
ounce of conciliation is worth a ton of
coercion. A day of industry is worth
more to the colored man of the South
than an age of political agitation.

speak of the shallow artifice of seeming 10
exact but a small rate of interest by
pricing the lands at double their market
value. the principle itself is wrong, and
cannot be defended by any logic known
to the masters of political science.
The state owes it as duty TO the set
tied portions of Texas to foster the devel-
opment of the unsettled sections. 1t is a
crime against the interests of every tax
payer and citizen of Texas to persist in a
dog-in-the-manger policy that is costing
the present generation more than the
revenue it produces, and promises moth
ing TO future generations. Under the
existing land system the state of Texas
is worse usurer than the most grasping
miser within her borders. She levies
what has been proved to be a prohibitory
tariff upon the work of development of
Western Texas, which If is her duty to
promote. She places one hand upon the
plough handle and demands heavy con-
tribution before it is. permitted to go on in
her service. A policy which has MAIN
tanned as wilderness over one third of
the entire state is nothing less than
crime against every interest in the state,
and it is crime which Will some day be
understood by the whole people.
When that day comes there win
be reckoning that viii serve
for all time as warning
to those who have sought political prefer
ment as the reward of pandering to petty
local preiudices and popular selfshness.
IF there were any method at present of
calling to account before the bar OF pop
ular opinion the administrators of public
affairs in Texas, for their selfish and
heartless course with reference to the
settlers upon public lands, the present
system would be swept away by one
breath Of popular Indignation.

THE oKLARoMA pTSTRIcT.

The prospects are that Representative
Springer s bin for throwing open Okla
homa to settlement, which has been
passed by the house, viii meet with
an equally favorable reception in the
senate. The notoriety that has been
given to the efforts of "Oklahoma
Payne'' and others to force their way
into this territory against the protests of
the government insures its rapid settle
ment when the Federal bars are removed.
That part of the Indian Territory which
Mr.. Springer s bill viii, under the name
of Oklahoma, segregate from the Indian
reservation is larger than the state
of Delaware, including about 1900
square miles. 1t is claimed by the BOOM
ers that these lands were coded by the
Creeks and seminoles to the government
in 1866 and that no formal permit for
their settlement is needed. Several de-
cisions have been. rendered by Western
judges sustaining this view, but the gov
eminent at Washington has felt it to be
its duty to lock the doors on immigration
until congressional action should be
taken This will put an end to vexa-
tious issue that has been agitated for the
past eight years and will result in the re-
clamation of a rich domain well suited to
the purposes of civilization.

THE mild winter throughout the North
has not been an unmixed blessing. The
ice men are seriously alarmed, and the
price of the article next summer in the
East viii be higher than usual. The
Boston Commercial views the result OF
the season from another standpoint:
"The financial loss which the phenom-
enally mild winter has caused many
manufacturers and merchants it is i'm
possible to estimate. Some businesses
have suffered so much that it will only be
with great difficulty and after long time
that they win be able to entirely recover
from the effects of this season IS poor trade.
Not only have the clothing dealers, the
furriers, and the sleigh and skate manu-
facturers suffered, but many other
tradesmen as well. All of which goes to
show on what an uncertain and conven-
tional basis our whole industrial and
mercantile system rests. Should the
average temperature of the United States
be hereafter but few degrees more or
less than it has been in the past, or
should men suddenly agree to wear
entirely different clothing from what
they do now. business in general
throughout the country would be con-
vulsed, if not for the time being entirely

Deceased was employed by appellant as

engineer was brought in question. Held:
Had it been shown that the engineer was
negligent on the particular occasion, this
would not of itself be sufficient evidence
to fix liability on appellant, on the
ground that it had not used due care in
selecting, employing or retaining him.
There was no necessity for deceased
pla ing himself in the posi-
ton he was in when killed.
His own negligence contributed TO the in
jury and would bar an action by him had
he survived, and what would bar an
action by him must operate as o bar to
an action by his parents for an injury re-
sulting in his death. 1t was error to

The Spring Palace or Texas exposition,
to be opened at Fort Worth in June, is
an enterprise that, although but lately
set on foot promises to be one of the most
interesting and useful affairs which have
ever taken place in Texas.
The season chosen is particularly
happy, as many persons win come from
distant states at that time when there is
a trade lull, who could not afford TO
leave at other seasons. Many Northern
visitors too are deferred IN autumn from
coming South through misrepresentation
of the danger OF yellow fever, seeming to
think that the yellow fiend travels along
parallels of latitude with as much ease
as a spider runs over the threads of his
web. The palace is to be constructed
entirely out OF Texas materials, and viii
be thing of beauty. Applications for
space have been rolling in from all quar-
tiers, and all kinds of Texas products,
animal, vegetable and mineral as well as
manufactured goods and works Of art,
will be exhibited We trust that Gregg
county may initiate new era OF enter
prise on her part by showing some of her
productions, or indeed putting her best
foot foremost and making show of the
coal, iron ore, oehre and varieties of
rock and soil in her limits, as well as her

featured articles, including the produce

HANGED IN KENTUCKY.
a COlored Man Charged with Numbering
Wealthy Old Farmer


LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. S.-James
Ross, colored, was hanged at Branden-
burg, Mead county, this morning at
o'clock. He was very cool, and being
asked if he had anything to say, replied
firmly, fNo, not one word. i"
The rope was then cut and the drop
fell. In twenty minutes life was extinct
and the body was cut down and turned
over to James n. Rollins, a medical
student, to whom Ross had bequeathed
it. The crime for which Ross was hanged
was the murder of Benedict Rhodes, an
old farmer III Mead county, on April
last. Rhodes lived alone and was thought
to keep large sums of money in his pos
session. He was found dead by his
neighbors, and as Ross had formerly
lived there and had a bad reputation, he
was suspected. Upon being arrested he
confessed that he and another negro,
named Parker, went 10 Rhodes house in
the night aud Parker Drained the old man
with an axe as he slept. He told a
dramatic story Of the crime and said he
was willing TO die for having accompanied
Parker, though he did not touch Rhodes.
No such man as Parker is known in the
neighboFheOd.

AN IMPORTANT result that win prob
ably spring from the death of the Aus
trian crown prince will be the separation
of the crowns of Austria and Hungary.
The Sale law excluding females from the
succession, only applies in the former, so
that while the crown OF Austria win go TO
the brother of Emperor Frances Joseph,
the dead prince having left no male
issue, the crown Of Hungary will
rest upon Rudolf's daughter. The
Hungarian people are not likely to regret
the dissolution of copartnership forced
upon them at the point of a sword.

To the Gazette.
Allow me to say through your paper
that I heartily endorse the bin introduced
in our legislature the otherda making it
a misdemeanor for man to fail to sup
port his wife and minor children, or, at
least to make q reasonably honest and
industrious effort to DO so. There are
eases within the knowledge of the writer
where stout and healthy men, having de-
pendent wives and children, hare wholly
abandoned the position and responsibility
of husband and father and left their
helpless ones to depend largely, if not
altogether, upon private or public
charity for everything they eat
and wear. Such course Of
conduct ought not TO be tolerated.
To allow it, is injustice 10 the public and
more often TO a few near neighbOrs of the
man 5 family, and is always an Injustice
10 the wife and children themselves.
Cases of this kind can not be reached,
very often, by prosecution under the
Yagrant law because the man may have
means of support, may be making good
wages, may have money, but just be 50
little OF the man anu SO mucn OF the
brute and so chuck full OF unadulterated
eussedness as TO not give his wife and
children the use or benefit of any of it.
In some cases the money IS spent
for comforts and luxuries for HIM
self and others that he pays mora
attention TO than he does to his wife and
children. When the county attorney is
appealed to he is powerless to do any
thing for the want Of a law 10 reach the
case. The wife often has no money to
sue for divorce, and maybe has no suffl-
cient grounds for divorce under our STAT
ute. The man is often possessed OF SO
little property that one who may furnish
the family with the neceSsaries of life
cannot make his money out Of the hus-
band by suit. So the only way to reach
such eases is by having q
law such as ''Uncle Isaac's'' bill con-
templates and then when man proposes
to neglect his family with impunity he
can be given job on the public roads or
some other public works. law similar
to the one proposed is in force in a NUM-
Der of the states.
l believe this bill will become a law for
no one who takes time to consider will
desire to oppose it. a CITIZEN.

TIE STATF 4 USURER

Any interest charge levied by the state
upon the citizen, whether small or great,
IS usury The state has neither the right
to loan money or TO receive interest. The
obligation-of the citizen TO the state is
discharged when he pays his taxes and
renders the public services that are ex-
acted of him. The collection by the
state of 90 cents an acre as interest upon
the purchase money due upon public
lands, is as gross an injustice as was ever
perpetrated by democratic government
upon any class of its citizens. Not to
