From the New York Evening Post
A remarkable illustration OF the rapid
progress which is making in the right d.
rection down South is afforded by a dis
cussion in tho Texas Legislature a few
days ago. A bill had passed the Senate
requiring railroad companies to provide
separate coaches for whites and blacks,
and II was iavorably reported to the
House. But II was earnestly opposed by
both white Democrats and coored Repub-
leans. and was finally referred 10 a special
committee under circumstances which
virtually made this action equivalent to
It's rejection. The strongest reason pre-
scnted for ITS passage was the fact that
under the present system rowdyish negro
men sometimes insist upon taking seats
by respectable white women simply in
order 10 annoy them. But the wiser
speakers urged that such difficulties should
be disposed OF rs rowdyism is ordinarily

with Germany, from whom, If 1t be
properly considered, England has
really nothing whatever to fear and
little or nothing to hope, and thus in
curing the risk, slight one though
it may be in the present case, perhaps,
Of estranging the affections Of those
who IN certain circumstances might
prove to England as troublesome
opponents as they could otherwise
be staunch and dutiful friends.
Not that the Samoan question in
itself is capable of producing the
effects here alluded to. but at the
same time its treatment by England
ought not to be such as is calculated
to ruffle the sensibilities either of
Americans or Australian cOlOnists,
whose disappointment could not pos
sibIy be counterpOised by any
amount of gratitude on the part OF
Germany. As between all Anglo
Saxon races and the German empire
the position Of England is analogous
to the attitude of Germany to Aus
tria and Russia respectively, be-
tween whom, said Prince Bismarck
to GortschakOtf at the congress Of
Berlin. you must not force me to
choose" The issues involved in the
Samoan question are by no means so
very pregnant of high political con
sequences, but still the treatment Of
that question, in the opinion Of some
we'll qualified to judge, ought to be
a test of the degree to which Eng
land has kept pace with the true
principles Of political expediency.
