A Critical Line.

There 10 no use in concealing q fact
patent to any one who has paid atten-
ton to the subject, that Waco has
been losing population, and the pub
lie statement of the fact IL justified by
the moral 1t points. While Waco was
stagnant, trade dull, no new enter
prises OH foot and other towns were
pushing forward steadily, general
feeling Of depression set in, feeling
that Waco had no future. and parties
under that impression looked for liver
and more promising localities and
silently stole away. The depletion of
population was not very large because
most of Waco people own their own
homes, bnt it was enough and more
than enough. Waco has lost too many
good people, but that thing has all
passed. Faith in Waco is beginning
to revive and just as people left from
q lack of faith 30 they will stay by
faith and others will come from the
came belief that Waco is city Of pro-
mise. A new era has set In pregnant
with big things, the tide is staid and
hundreds are looking to this city. 1t
all now depends on demonstrating
that the new awakening is tangible
and real. The test of that will be the
cotton mill and railroad. Given these
two things and the future of Waco is
settled, let them slip and 1t is equally
settled the other way. II the present
wave goes by without fruition it were
far better that the city had never
woke up. The city has staked its all
on the cast of q die and her fate hangs
ON those two enterprises. Tenants
for the stores and houses and the
value Of every piece of land and Of
every building depends on the fate of
the cotton mill and railroad.

The courts have again dealt blow at
the effort of certain State Legislatures to
place a prohibitory tariff on dressed meat
under the claim of required sanitary in
spection within the States borders. Judge
Blodgett, of Illinois, has decided that
Swift & Co.. the Chicago dressed beef
concern, is entitled to heavy damages for
the refusal of its agent in Duluth, Mimi,
to perform his contract in marketing the
Chicago beef. The Minnesota agent al
legged the State law against the selling of
beef not inspected before death in the
State where it was sold but the court
pronounced the law unconstitutional, and
awarded the plaintiff $500 damages.
In previous decisions under the new laws
the same decision has been arrived at in
a different form; suit being brought by
the State against the butcher selling the
Chicago beef. The ComnerciaJ advertiser
considers that the case decided by
Judge Blodgett is likely to be the first
to come up on an appeal before the
United States Supreme Court,

The total cost of supplying the British
man -of-war Hero with ammunition for "a
commission is estimated by a>correspond-
ent of the London Daily Ne1cS at be
tween $175, 600 and $500, 900. 1t costs
about $41 to fire single shot from one
of her twelve-inch guns. The next great
naval war, if the world ever is to see
another, declares the New York 7ele
gram, will be 50 enormous that the eX-
haustion of one or the other party must
bring it to a speedy close. Years of con
tinuous warfare, such as England has
known, would bankrupt nation or tax
her resources so that the victor would be
crippled as well as the vanquished. War
fare is becoming, among the more highly
civilized nations, more and more Il matter
of money rather than of men, and those
who hold the money bags dictate peace
or war.

What did Mr. Gladstone mean when
he said at Paris that America had right
to be considered "to some extent, at
least, the great organ of the powerful
English tongue3" inquiries the Chicago
Herald Mr.. Gladstone says many things
whereof the meaning is not clear, but in
this utterance he appears even more
Delphic than usual. If Mr.. Gladstone
intended to say that the English language
is spoken in higher perfection in Ameri-
ca than in England he has long reckon
ing to settle with his fellow Englishmen
when he returns home; for no opinion is
more hateful to Englishmen than that the
American ''patois" is a superior article to
the English of England Perhaps Mr..
Gladstone meant simply to grace pleas
ant occasion with a pleasant, but not too
significant or lucid speech. If so, it
would not be the first time in his career
that he has displayed this amiable desire.

of the two great families which the author

way left now is for ths two factions to
fight it out. The proclamation appeals to
the Wongs of America fer munitions of
war, or money to buy the same. 1t declares
that there are over l, 600, 900 able=bodied
Wongs at home to thrash the Lees if they
could only get hold of som of the Yankee
