MANLY protests and able from quite
unexpected quarters are being made
against the narrowness of spirit that
seems TO actuate the granger members
of the present legislature in their
dealings with the railway question.
The interstate commerce law has
placed sufficient safeguard around
transportation to distant markets, and
it must not be lost sight Of that the
vast distance within the bounds of
this state entail burden upon our
roads that is not carried by the rail
roads of any other state. So many
large tracts of sparsely settled and I'M
occupied sections, atfording little or
no local traffic, must necessarily
entail expenses in the construction
and operation Of our roads not met
with elsewhere and which the legisla-
ture should take into account in pass
ing laws for their control. The COM
plant is heard on every side that the
legislature is not dealing fairly with
the railroads. Texas owes much to
her lines of rail. She needs more
roads and can only secure them by
liberal policy towards those now in
existence.

Great Event Passed.

One of the smarked events in our
history transpired on Tuesday last.
1t was unlike any national demon
stration which has occurred for many
a year, if ever before. For once
after long lapse of time, it would
be said the people knew no North
no South, no East, no West. There
was periodically. but one people in
this land, over which the noise and
tumult have been sounded many a
time and the mutterings of dissatis-
fed people as of distant thunder
occasionally heard. On the goth Of
April there was quiet; sectional strife
and party wrangling, was unheard
How could it be otherwise, the in
huence of the immortal Washington
bore sway in the public mind. His
spirit was for peace and good will
towards all mankind. 1t was a grand
exhibition of what the people of this
country may be, when under right
influences. What a contrast did
Tuesday last present, to the day of
the last general election, and many
days preceding it. Then men
professedly wise in the affairs of this
great government, were attempting
to alarm the people Of calamities,
sure to follow to trade and commerce
in the result of the election. There
was time for weeks of unrest, and
vast sums of money and much labor
expended to save the country from
predicted disaster. The countr,
lives and the nation is apparently a
rest to-day. None of the disaster:
confidently foretold, have come tt

Business Outlook at Home

THIS is about the usual season of
the year, when inquiries are made,
in respect to business prospects both
in city and in country. Industrial
occupations such as depend on the
farm, it is generally agreed, have at
least fair average prospect. Farm
ers are looking for no great boom
in any department of farming indus
tries; grain producing. sheep hus-
bandry, stock raising, dairying, wool
growing, these each promise not far
from equal profit. Some farmers in
sist. that farming, with the present
prices of farm products, does not
pay, that the expenses attendant on
conducting their operations, absorb
all the profits. This is a discourage
ing statement, but it is hoped there
is compensation in some, sdirection,
which is not taken into the account.
There never has been a farming
community in which the business of
farming was legitimately followed,
where the people became poor, un-
less the lands were barren, and did
not return a fair equivalent for labor,
or bad government oppressed the
people, The lands in this quarter
of the west, are productive, and the
government if not the wisest, is by
no means bad as some persons repre-
sent it, The city prospects for the
coming season, are better than the

Coy. HOARD, of this state, issued
two distinct proclamations at differ

of the 3oth, of April, for different
purposes. The first was for COM
memoratng the inauguration of

the United States, and the second
for the observance of it as Arbor
day, to be devoted to the planting
of trees around school houses and
public grounds. Both of these OBJ

some of our citizens could not see
their way, to give attention to both

ment OF Arbor day, left the time fol

The defeat of the prohibition
amendment in Massachusetts,, a
temperance state, by such large
majority, has been perplexity to
many people. To find long profess
ed temperance friends rejoicing over
the prohibition defeat, and liquor
saloon men doing the same thing,
was a wondrous exhibition, such as
few, if any, had expected to see.
Some explanation seems to be neces-
sary; perhaps the best that can be
given is that of over eighty clergy
men, who opposed the amendment.
They objected to it, because it
would repeal the now existing high
license law, and take from the legis-
lature the power Of enacting local
option, and the regulation and sale
OF intoxicating liquors. 1t would
deprive local towns and communities
of power to make and enforce such
methods, as state prohibition would
not reach. They believed it would
take away the power to destroy the
traffic by license tax, in communities
where the popular sentiment is
strongly opposed to prohibition.
Such appear to have been some of
principal objections by that part of
the clergymen, who we're arranged
against the Prohibition Amendment.
There is room for differences of
opinion in respect to the logical
reasoning of the ministers.

The loss of the Partisan svndicat

The loss of the Partisan syndicate
which undertook to control the price
of copper is now estimated at about
$3o,ooo,ooo. It is believed that all
the heavy investors in the specula-
ton are, from financial standpoint,
ruined individuals. The original
paid-up capital and reserve of the
Compton d'Escompte is swept away,
and with that amount the private
means of the company are invaded
to the tune of $50, 900. Corner
ing the market upon the prime ne
cessities of life is not only vicious
and demoralizing business, but it is
also most liable to be in the end a
disastrous one to the operators.

THE craze for Oklahoma has al
most made people forget that the
Sioux reservation, containing over
1900, 900 acres of the finest land in
Dakota, will probably be open for
settlement by the first of June. For
farming purposes the Oklahoma land
will not begin to compare with the
reservation land.

HOLIDAYS are scattered rather

HOLIDAYS are scattered rather
thickly through this portion of the
year and to the thoughtful mind
they all have purpose. But none
come freighted with. weightier
thoughts and subjects for more seri
Gus contemplation than the special
one commemorating'the constitution
al beginnings of this government.
There are lessons to be learned from
the study of our first century and it
were well if they were learned
thoroughly. Many dangers men
ace the progress and pros
perity of this magnificent
nation and evils multiply within our
borders with every advance in mate
rial wealth. The statesmen of this
republic have necessarily been pio-
neers in many directions. The past
furnishes us no parallel and is no
criterion for our guidance. Free
self government by the masses
lis no longer an experiment,
but such problems as popu-
lar education, the government of our
large cities, the control of abnormal
financial schemes and the licentious
teachings of communism will test in
a crucial manner the stability of our
government in way more difficult
to meet than open rebellion. Other
powerful elements imported from
the Old World are taking advantage
of freedom from espionage and the
liberty of the republic to make ire
mendous struggle to put in practice
pet theories, regain lost prestige, or
performance in their several
spheres of activity. To meet
these, the true American must
be prepared. The study Of
the past century reveals sever
al facts which have tremendous
significance. In the first place, the
logic of events obliges us to take as
our study the civilization planted on
Plymouth Rock rather than that of
Jamestown. We find that the free
public school and the open bible are
at the basis of all that is best in
American civilization. American
character is what it is because it's
chief elements, Intellect and Morals,
have been exalted by free public
schools and colleges for the masses
and sinspired by the divine teachings
of bible open to the eye; and faith
of enlightened intellect. Infdelity
fourishes where the truths of the
bible are filtered through traditions
and its Interpretation is confined to
an esoteric few. Anarchy and dis
content flourish where the minds of
men are held in darkness and the
stimulus and courage of educated
intellect is lacking. The only safety
for this country lies in the highest
possible education for the masses
and bible morals. The corruption
in public office, the decentralization
of the ballot, the power of the saloon
in politics and private vice in public
places are all subjects worthy the
serious attention of thoughtful men
and are serious enough to make
men thoughtful of their duties to
their country. National holidays
are not designed for revelry and de-
bauches, but for careful considera-
ton of the National welfare.
