WATCH TEXAS BOOM.

The La Grange journal, one of
best weekly papers in the state, and
whose position has always. been dig
niied, conservative and consistent
with reference to politics, remarks /:
"The Journal about a year ago as
sumed the position that Texas never
would become a manufacturing state
to any extent, SO long as the rail
roads could prevent it; that it was
against their interests for her to be-
come the seat Of manufactures that
they transported the raw material to
the manufacturers of the North and
returned laden with the manufac-
tured products of that raw material
No one can blame them for trying
to hold Oh to a good thing. With a
commission, and Hogg as governor,
this little arrangement would in
course of few years cease to exist.
The people of Texas would have a
fair deal III the matter of transporta-
ton and the result would be the
springing up of manufactures all
over the state. This is an exactly
correct presentation of the case and
sizes up the manner in which the
railroads view the field: in view of
which all the high-sounding words
of praise layished on the railroads
as the great civiiizers Ct TIE country
by the anti-c5mmissionists is the
verriest bosh. The truth of the
business Is that nobody WHO seri-
Ously reflects and truly informs him
self on the railroad question can
honestly deny that Texas is suffer
ing mole for the need Of railway
regulation at present than from any
one OR dozen other causes com

the contrary Notwithstanding.

A GRANT AND LEE MONUMENT.

What has perhaps been appropri-
ately designated as ''the most unique
incident of history" or, at least,
one of the most unique incidents,
was enacted at Richmond, Va, dur
ing the ceremony of unwilling the
equestrian monument to the memory
OF the Souths great hero and militia
ry chieftain, General Robert E. Lee.
While the city was decorated from
one end to the other with confeder-
ate flags, and while the streets were
filed with scared and weather.
beaten veterans of the Lost Cause
assembled to do honor to the men,
DRY of their great leader and COM
mander, and while the hloodyshirt
shriekers in the North were denoun-
cling the gathering as an unlawful
assembly and characterizing the.par-
Elephants in 1t as being as great reb
els at heart as when they were in
the saddle and as traitors who
should be hanged, drawn and quar-
tered, a meeting was held in Rich
mond for the purpose Of organizing
a GIANT and Lee monument associa-
ton. It was decided to erect a
monument in Baltimore, to cost not
less than 100000, in joint honor of
these two great generals, who OPP
posed each other in the late civil
strife. Fifty thousand dollars was
subscribed on the spot and there is
every reason to believe that the pro-
posed amount will be raised with
out much difficulty. While the ac-
ton taken at Richmond was suffi-
Gent answer to the bloody-shirt
howlers and while it will go as far
or further than anything else that
has TRANSFERRED to restore fraternal
feeling and to obliterate sectional
lines, it is great source of gratifi-
cation that the movement does not
represent any false sentiment Of the
Southern people and is not to be I'M
derstood as pandering in any sense
TO the Northern people. The South
ern people can with perfect proprie
ty share in the glory Of Gen. Grant
and have much reason to remember
him gratefully. Whatever may
have been his faults land he had
many as a civil ruler, he was a
great general and a magnanimous

railroads have made hard fight to
stife the popular voice for railway
lie g islation. But it is now
conceded that the commission
will carry, and seeing the
hopelessness and uselessness of fur
ther opposing it, the anti-commis-
sion organs have already begun to
change their tune. The Austin
Statesman Of the Goth, for instance,
in an editorial leader slumps It's po-
sition and discusses the question of
"long and short hauls" over the rail
roads in a manner to show that rail
way regulation is the great crying
necessity of the hour. Having de-
nounced Hogg as demagogue and
backed the other side until it saw
Enthusiastically how things were go
ing, the Statesman now says: "a
railway commission is a foregone
conclusion. From present indica-
tons public opinion is almost unan-
imcus for it. Under the next adj
ministration railway freights will be
regulated so as to give manufactur-
ers in our state a living chance, be-
sides lift an incubus from it's bust
ness interests generally. Without
doubt the change will be as benef-
cial to the thirty-fve railways of
Texas as was the law reducing pas
senger rates from five to three cents.
The roads cried out that they were
ruined. But their passenger re-
ceipts were soon doabled, and they
soon found out that it was not only
a good thing for the people, but for
themselves. Will it not be so with
freight regulations ?" Just wait I'M
til the practices of the railway
wreckers and spectators in fcti-
tious bonds and watered stock at the
expense of the people are exposed
by the railway commission and the
cheapness of railway building shall
have been demonstrated: and then
Texas will witness such an era of
prosperity and such an era of rail
way building as it has never yet
known.

Arrested on supicion.

On Tuesday evening late Constable
Boyd arrested young negro about
"a or 25 years of age on suspicion
of being horsethief. He gave his
name as Louis Robertson and said
he was from Brazos county. He
came to Brennan directly from the
William Penn neighborhood, and a
party in from the country notified
the constable that he had seen
Robertson riding rather fne-look-
ing horse bareback. When Constable
Boyd arrested the negro he was on
foot and the officer demanded to
know where his horse was. Robert
son told him that he was hitched
down by the compress, but thor
ough search failed to reveal the
animal, and when notified of the re-
suit the negro then claimed that he
left him at wagon yard adjoining
Amslers warehouse. Investigation
proved this statement also lie. The
horse has not been found yet, but
the negro is still being held on sus-
piciOn.

to this section Intentionally or unin-
tentionally as civil ruler just after
the war while the@country was in a
demoralized condiSion and he was
surrounded by evil counsellors, he
has abundantly attoned for. In the
last years of his life he frequently
expressed sentiments of noble gen
crosby and nothing but kindness
for this section, and almost the last
words uttered by him breathed
a pathetic prayer for a restored and
reunited country.

WISCONSIN POLITICS.

From the way the political leaVen
has been working for some time past
up in the badger state, Wisconsin
stands an excellent show of step
ping over into the democratic col
umn at the ides Of next November
and of permanently taking its stand
with the democracy in the presiden-
tial contest two years later. The
disturbing cause on the surface of
politics in that state is brought
about by what is known as the Ben
nett law. This law provides for the
compulsory education of every child
in the state within certain ages.
And not only must parents send
their children to school whether
they prefer it or not, but they must
send them to the pubic schools.
Now, the Lutheran and Catholic
churches are opposed to the public
free school system. They think tn e
parochial system prevailing in those
churches quite as good if not better
than the public school system car
onried by the state, besides en-
abling them to keep the children
properly trained and instructed as
to their religious obligations and du-
ties. The Lutheran and Catholic
churches do not refuse to pay taxes
for the maintenance of school
system from which they receive di-
rectly no benefits, but they think
that after paying the tax uncom-
plainingly they should be allowed to
educate their children in such
schools as they please; especially as
they consider their schools equally
as good and regard it part OF their
religious obligation to bring their
children up in the church. The
Bennett law in an arbitrary and use
less manner abridges their personal
liberty, and they do not propose to
submit to it. Consequently repre-
sentative lay members of the two
churches met in convention at Mil
waukee and put their united protest
on record, declaring that they
would support no candidates for Of
fee, national, state or local, who
were not in favor of repeating the
odious law. There is a large pro-
portion of German Lutheran and
Catholic population in Wisconsin
and the Bennett law Will be made a
state issue. The democrats well
come the issue, while the repubii-
cans dread and would avoid i. 1t
was the issue i'll the municipal cam
paign in Milwaukee aud the demo-
cratic candidate was elected may or
for the first time in many years by
FIVE thousand majority. The repub-
hcans cannot avoid the issue in the
coming campaign because Gov.
Hoard is their candidate for re-elec-
ton and he is on record as warmly
approving the Bennett law. Besides
this disturbing element, the head
and front of the revolt of the farm
ers against the republican party on
the tariff is located in Wisconsin
and Minnesota and the patchwork
of the Mckinley bill has increased
their determination to sit down with
a dull thud on the republican party.
Everything taken into considera-
ton. the outlook for the democratic
party III the northwest looks bright
indeed.

nominating convention. But this
attempt will prove as abortive as
any of the others yet made by them
and they might as well try to sweep
back the incoming tide of the Allan
tic OF Pacific ocean as to oppose the
popular sentiment in favor of At
torney-General Hogg for governor.
In the first place it is not necessary
to do away with the two-thirds rule
in order to secure the nomination of
Mr.. Hogg. 1t is not believed that
scarcely ten counties in the state
will instruct against him. If Gen.
Hogg's friends were disposed to
make move in favor OF abolishing
the two-thirds rule they could find
some warm advocates and cite some
distinguished prec d e n S from
among the ranks of the Clarkites.
There are just as many advocates of
the two-thirds rule among Hogg's
friends as on the other side and the
movement would meet with its
strongest opposition among them.
Aside from any interest to be
subserved, however, or any advan-
tage to be gained or to accrue, in all
fairness and honesty the two-thirds
rule ought to be abolished. The
BANNER has placed itself on record
on this point before General Hogg
was ever dreamed of for governor.
Democracy means the rule of the
people and the two-thirds rule had
It's origin in this sentiment and
meaning. The idea was when the
rule was first introduced that two
thirds of the votes in a convention
Of the representatives of the people
would come nearer expressing the
voice Of the people than majority
vote and would render manipulation,
chicanery, trickery and jugglery
more difficult and less probable.
But it is an undeniable fact estab-
lished by the result of almost every
convention that has been held since
politics has been adopted as pro-
fession and since it is the custom no
longer for the Office to seek the man,
that while the two-thirds rule makes
manipulation and sharp practice
more difficult, it also almost invaria
bly, results in thwarting the real
choice of the people and in bringing
in an obscure candidate who has
probably never been heard of before,
or at least concerning their prefer
ence for whom the people have not
had voice. The enlightened, pro-
gressive sentiment in the democratic
party is in favor of the abolition of
the two-thirds rule, and nothing will
tend more to bring about its aboli-
ton than the way in which the
Clark crowd is conducting the pres
ent campaign. With Judge Cook as
their ostensible candidate for gov
ernor they are secretly aiding and
encouraging Hall in his bushwhack-
ing guerrilla campaign of personal
spite and are saying and doing roth
ing to discourage Or throw water on
Wheeler's little boom. Although
the Clarkites are on record in their
address from Dallas as the checklist
lot who ever attempted to juggle
with politics, they Lave moi yet been
cheeky enough to claim that Cook
or Hall will be governor. They
simply look to the two-thirds rule as
their last hope to defeat the will of
the people and trust among the
three opposition candidates to Sc
cure one vote more than a third in
the convention.
