system of extending deadhead
passes to members of the Legislature
and public officials, There are sew
eral states witch already have laws
against it, and the BANNER has put it
self on record more than once in IA
vor of such law in Texas. The ex-
tending Of free passes to county as
SCISSORS, for instance, is an outrage
and an open attempt at bribery
which should be punished. The in
tention is to get the assessor to as
sess the roadbed and stock of the
company favoring him with a free
pass as low as possible, and it may
be depended on that wherever they
issue free passes they expect sub.
stantial favors.

4 ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.

A dispatch from Columbia, South
Carolina, announces the marriage of
Miss Caroline Hampton to DR.. VII
liam S. Halstead. 1t is said to be
the first marriage that has taken
place in the Hampton family in
many years, and was celebrated at
Wildwood, the country residence OF
General Wade Hampton, five miles
out from Columbia. The groom
was formerly a prominent physician
of New York City, but is at present
chief of the medical department of
Johns Hopkins University at Balti-
more. The bride is niece of Gen.
Wade Hampton and was his ward,
her father, Gen. Frank Hampton, be-
ing killed in battle during the
civil war. The marriage is not with
out bit of romance about it. A
few years ago. Miss Hampton de-
cided TO devote her life to relieving
the suferings of humanity and
chose the vocation of professional
nurse. She entered the Johns Hop
kins University in that capacity and
has risen to the control of the entire
department devoted to that purpose.
1t was there, of course, that she met
DR.. Halstead. While in the Univer.
sity she has practically completed
the study of medicine, and as soon
as the medical department for wo-
men is established she will receive
the degree of N. d. and will be able
to assist he husband with his work.

RAILROAD wRECKEEs.

Lieut-Goy. Wheeler in his adj
dress to the people announcing his
candidacy for the governorship
made the assertion that railroad
building was at a standstill in Texas
and that what was needed was a
railroad commission to stop the agl-
tation of the question, no matter
whether with plenary powers or not,
or whether carried into effect or not,
just so it stopped the agitation. AT
the time be laid claim to the asser-
ton we took issue with him and pro-
tested that his statements were not
authorized by facts. We still deny
that there is any unusual depression
existing in the line of railway build
ing that can be attributed to the
discussion of a commission. If rail
way construction in Texas is ct a
standstill or on the decline the
cause is very rea on a ly
and plausibly accounted for in tel
egram to the Galveston News from
huntsville containing an account OF
an address delivered by Hon. j. c.
Hutcheson. which SAYS:
His argument on the alarm that
capital will take if Hogg is elected
was specially strong and satisfactory:
He said that railroad building had
already ceased, that Gould and
Huntington controlled the entire
traffic of the state and were not in
terested in building other railroads,
introducing competition with their
existing lines; that they were not
builders but wreckers in their pres
ent relation to acquiring railroads,
and as wreckers stood like highway
men along the line of railroad con-
struction paralyzing honest capital
from building, because to build
meant to subject their investment
to rape and seizure by their rival
and powerful operators. Their
great railroad systems were ''dogs
in the manager" neither building
themselves nor permitting others to
build. Existing railroad combina-
tons have paralYzed railroad build
ing, not adverse legislation, and an
honest commission may aid honest
capital to revive railroad building.
Capt. Hutcheson is Houstons
foremost citizen and one of the very
ablest men in Texas. He is out
stamping the state in the interest of
Gen, Hogg and a commission. The
anti-commissionists will have to
draw for a new stock in trade or
else hunt their holes.

FREE RAILROAD PASSES.

The wet nurses and managers Of
the Clark crowd have struck another
snag in trying to manage their little
campaign, and it is safe to say that
they will feel pretty sore and worse
than sea- sick by the time they hear
the last of the free pass business.
The BANNER took occasion to remark
not long ago, when the New Biz
mingham Times first attacked Gen
eral Hogg for riding on free rail
road pass while canvassing the state
for governor, that Judge Cook
ought to be on his knees night and
day praying to be delivered from re-
sponsibility for the utterances of his
fool friends. And now they have
got their feet into it badly sure
enough, or, rather, have put him i'll
an awkward position. 1t has been
the custom for long while for the
railroads to issue free passes to state
officials, district judges and certain
county officers. And while it has
been suspected that, or, at least,
looked like, it was an attempt to
bride, yet the officials have been ac-
customed to accepting the passes as
an official courtesy. A letter from
Capt. Faulkner. of the Central road,
in reply to an inquiry from coun-
try editor, leaves no doubt as to the
motive of the railways in extending
free passes. The BANNER knows of
letter written by Capt. Faulkner to
Texas veteran which corroborates
the sentiments of the letter above
alluded to, in which the captain in
reply to scolding letter about the
issuance of free passes to the yeter-
ans to attend their annual reunion,
said that some of the veterans were
opposed to the railroads and that
the railroads only intended to give
free passes to their friends. The
fact is not denied that Lieut. Gov.
Wheeler and Land Commissioner
Hall, who are at present riding over
the state pretending to be carrying
on canvass for the governorship,
are travelling on free passes, and no
doubt Judge Cook is too. The
only difference between their travel
ing on free passes and General
Hogg's travelling on one is, then,
that they accept the passes as
brides. while Gen. Hogg accepts his
as an official courtesy. The assault
on Gen. Hogg on the free pass
question was such stupid faux pas
that the Houston Post, a Cook and
Clark anti-c III In IS sion or
gan, hastens to get out
of it the easiest way possible
by asserting that mo right thinking
man ought to reflect on Gen. Hogg
for using passes on railroads, =
While the question sprung by the
Clarkites will prove a dead sure
boomerang &c them they have done
the state 8 service il springing it;
for. it will have the effect more than
anything else that has been said or

ATTEND THE PRIMARIES.

Pursuant to the action of the
democratic executive committee of
Washington county and in accord
ance with the call of the chairman,
precinct conventions will be held in
the various precincts of this county
OF the 2Sth instant for the purpose
of selecting delegates to county
convention, which will in turn be
held in Brennan on July Is for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
democratic state convention to meet
at San Antonio on the 18th day of
August to nominate candidate for
governor and other state offices.
And in calling attention to the fact
we would urge upon the democratic
farmers of the county especially the
necessity of turning out and taking
part in the primaries. They are too
much disposed as a class to show
apathy and indifference in political
matters, and the result is that the
conventions are too often manipula-
ted by street corner loafers and
curbstone politicians around town.
There is no intention in the above
to array the country against the
town. Both should work harmoni-
ously together, and the voice of the
farmer should be heard in the con-
yention as well as the townspeople.
But If the farmers do not turn out
to the primaries they should not
complain if the convention is not
run to suit them. It is the duty of
the coming county convention to
give expression to Its preference in
no uncertain voice on the present
gubernatorial contest. 1t is a con-
test of principles and not men. The
issue has been squarely draan and
the delegation to the state c,uYen-
ton should go instructed for one or
other of the candidates before the
people. Let there be an honest ex-
preston of opinion and let the ac-
ton of the convention represent the
views of the majority. We want no
uninstructed delegation to go to San
Antonio and be regarded as SO
many sheep in the market and left
foot-loose to be snapped and traded
around in the convention.

The BANNER makes the prediction
with the utmost confidence that with
in the next ten days Judge Cook
will announce his retirement from
the race. He is man of too much
spirit and pride to stay in the race
after seeing that the announcement
of his candidacy has not had the
least effect in putting check on the
unanimity with which the counties are
instructing for Mr.. Hogg. He is
made out of different material from
Dick Hall.

The Brennan BANNER does not
profess to long for a return OF the
days of the OK cart, but it goes pref
ty far that way in the following:
What does it matter if the railroads
are broken up in business by the
railroad commission? The Waco
citizens made a movement some
time ago looking to the improve
ment of the Brazos river so as to
render it pavigable. And now the
Dallas people propose to have steam
boats running from the gulf up
Trinity soon.
This is about the substance of the
arguments used by others in favor Of
the commission.-"State Press" in
Galveston News.
Estate Press" should be ashamed
OF himself, as old as he is, to try to
make capital out of the above. 1t
was intended to poke fun il mild,
harmless sort of way at Waco and
Dallas and to ridicule the idea of
the Brazos and Trinity being made
navigable for the distance proposed.
Maybe "State Press" is like Sidney
Smiths Scotchman, of whom it was
said that it required surgical oper-
alton to get a joke into his head.

The New Braunfelser Zeitung, of
which paper Judge Ernest Koebig,
one of the handsomest and cleverest
newspaper men in the state, is the
editor, enthusiastically exclaims ::
"Comal county will instruct her sons
for Hogg and reform in spite of
h-ll and high water" Fully nine
ty per cent of New Braunfels and
ComaI county are Germans. And,
yet, judging by the preconcerted
manner in which the Clarkites are
harping on ''sumptuary Legislation"
and personal liberty" and are try
ing to thresh over prohibition chaff,
one would naturally be led to be-
lieve that the Germans were all OPP
posed to Hogg.
