The Railroad Commission Amendments.
Houston Post

Houston Post.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Mcdonald from
the candidacy for governor leaves three
candidates in the ld-Attorney-G Gen.
eral Hogg, Land Commissioner Hall and
lieutenant Wheeler. OF all
the candidates who have been or are still
in the field only one of them, Mr.. Nc
Donald, has opposed the constitutional
amendment. The others are all avoW-
eddy in favor of its adoption, and il may
be regarded as certainty that there will
now be no candidate for governor who is
opposed 70 1t. No man can hope for the
nomination who assumes such position.
This unanimity of sentiment with
respect to the amendment does
not, however. Indicate unanimity with
respect TO the scope and power of a rail-
road commission, to be organized after
the amendment is adopted. On the
contrary, while there are some eXtrem-
lists who have favored and will continue
to favor commission invested with all
poWer-legislatlve, executive and judi
cial-the vast majority of the people of
Texas are opposed to giving such author
ity to any man or set of men. Both Mr..
Wheeler and Mr.. Hall have declared
themselves opposed TO commission with
plenary and despotio power over the
vast railway interests of the state, and
Mr.. Hogg, as was understood at the last
session of the legislature, was opposed to
the Brown commission bill because of its
extreme character, and those who are
nearest to him now declare that
he would under all circumstances
oppose such a measure. 1t is understood
that at several places where Mr.. Hogg
has addressed the people recently he has
been Intercepted as to his precise POSI-
ton on the subject, and has not hesi-
tated to say that he has been misrepre-
sented as an extremist; that he would
favor the election of railroad commits
sioners by the people under law giving
them authority to hear complaints, pre-
vent Determinations and enforce fair
dealing between railroads and the people,
but not to make rates of freight and fare
and exercise despotio power over the in
terests concerned. So that, IL the views
of all the candidates for governor are
correctly stated above, then it would
seem that capital invested in railroads
however timid it way be-has nothing to
fear from the adoption of the railroad
commission amendment to the constitu-
ton.

Woman in Destitute Condition at Leadville
Learns of Fortune Awaiting Her
at Mansfield, Ohio.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
LEADYLLE, COL, May 22--Winnie
Burton, g woman of the lower classes,
left this city this morning for Mansfield,
Ohio, where fortune of $3.50, 900 awaits
her. She came here some months ago a.
physical wreck, dying from slow con-
sumption and with very little money "a nd
rented house IN an undesirable portion
of the city for q small sum. The
people living around her learned
of her circumstances and took
food to her so she managed to exist.
When seen on the street many have sup
posed her drunk, while the truth was
she was too weak to walk. She was
known here as a ''Lillie" Last week
word came here that Mr.. Burton,
weSlthy merchant of Mansfield, died,
leaving his fortune to his daughter If
found within twelve months. The law
yer in charge at Mansfield communicated
with Mr.. ]. d. Cummings of Denver,
and Mr.. Cummings Immediately COM
msncsd the search. He learned that the
woman had been at Ouray, and
he went there to learn that she had gone
to LeadVille. Here she was found and
informed of the change awaiting her.
From the woman herself it was learned
that while living happily at home she
fell IN love with a young man. Her
father opposed the match, whereupon
she left home and married her lover.
He soon deserted her, and since then she
has drifted. She was too weak to walk
to the depot this morning, but had to be
taken there in q carriage.

ST. ANDREWS MILITARY INSTITUTE.


1t is Assured-The Plan of Operation Left to
Bishop Garrett.
Yesterday morning the Episcopal con-
vention assembled at Dallas, called up
the question of locating a school for boys
to be under the guidance and control of
the bishop and the diocese. After many
long and weary hours of discus
sion on this subject the convention
the Ri. Rev. Alex Garrett, bishop, and
this places the school just outside the
city of Fort Worth. This work was per-
formed through the efforts of Rev.
Joseph DeForrest, DR.. George jackson,
W. W. Dexter, G. @. Curtice, John R.
Rose and L. B. Imboden OF this city.
Mr.. Imbodsn delivered an address be-
fore the convention and presented the
claims of Fort Worth, which were duly
considered, and now this city is much
the gamer by this action.
This university will be built within the
next year, and is to cost SI0O, 200 with
out the furniture or equipments. 1t will
be one of the finest equipped and best
modern constructed colleges in the
United States, and in this addition the
city procures the greatest.of educational
institutions IN the South. It will in fact
be the ''Sewanee'' of Texas. And with
the Chamberlin college on the west, it Is
plain that soon Texas can be proud of
such magnificent edIfioies, filed with
brains and scholars. Texas can then
educate her own boys at home.
Nothing can be more edify-
ing than the building of such
additional facilities for educating young
men of Texas. And it is safe to say that
the st. Andrews military institute will
and must succeed.

lawlessness. In Fort Worth and its
prsdominating sentiment, railroads have
assurances of protection and kindly
treatment, and it is because of this, for
one reason, that railroads seek the trunk
line center.
The Fort Worth and Rio Grande is

querqus is building and other lines are
to come to the railroad center. Fort
Worth loses nothing by the friendly
disposition of IT'S people to the great ar
