WHY NOT?

At this stage in the peculiar polit-
ical situation in Texas, may not the
visit of Gov. Ross to Washington have
more far reaching effect than at first
imagined? He is the first governor OF
Texas to have made such a journey,
and his mission was peculiar one. 1t
was no pleasure jaunt, but he went as
the official representative of the great
State of Texas to have instituted in
the supreme court OF the United States
proceedings to settle the title to a
territory OF some $500 square miles,
which title is in dispute be-
tween the United States and
Texas. This work successfully
accomplished, the wheels of the car OF
justice being set in motion, he still
had time to take'a dip into the social
amenities of the National capital apd
of the great metropolitan city OF the
Union. His reception in those cities
was an ovation. Texas then came
in touch with the East as never be-
fore in her history. A new bond Of
union between the East and the great
Southwest was then struck. Texas
had ever reason to be proud OF her
governor, and the East was tlled only
with praise of Texas and wonder at
the recital of her greatness as told
by that governor. What effect
would it have upon the
East, its money market and the
interests of its people should such now
well known governor continue two
years longer in power here?
But there is another consideration.
Every man best completes the work
he himself has put afoot. No gov
ernor has taken greater interest in the
Greer county matter than Gov. Ross,
no governor has ever taken such de-
cisive step as this to have that ques-
ton settled. What of the equity OF
allowing him to finish that work.
Again under this administration
what vast sum Of money has been
collected from the Federal govern
ment due on an old account. But a
considerable amount stills uncol-
lected. Can man better acquainted
with the facts in that case be found
to finally wind it up2 This is
not plea for any admins
tration, any individual. The STATES
MAN is simply calling attention to
some obvious facts and suggesting
pfsikle inference. The idea OF a
fip5 term is not in our mind. That
is fine spun theory; we are now dis
cussing facts. The public can draw
their own conclusions.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Are not the Catholics of Wisconsin
right in opposing the Bennett law,
rendering education of the children Of
all classes compulsory?
Nor should the opposition end with
the Catholics, but every Protestant in
Wisconsin and every other man ought
to fight against principle the very
quintessence of the dangerous pater-
nalism of the age-a principle that if
admitted may end-who knows
where?
1t may be the duty OF the State to
provide free education for every child
within its borders, but it has no more
right to enter the home of the paren is
and force them to send their child to
school than it has to prescribe what
they shall put upon their dinner
tables.
Compulsory education will never do
in this country. 1t is utterly and
Numerically opposed to our system
of government, and the Catholics OF
Wisconsin cannot be blamed for de-
nouncing it, though viewing it from a
religious and not political or secular
standpoint.
While this is true it is unfortunate
and it may be ominous for the future
that the Catholics in Wisconsin in
convention at Milwaukee yesterday, in
set of resolutions adopted on the
Bennett law, have determined to throw
their weight us body in the politics
of Wisconsin with the end in view OF
overthrowing the obnoxious law and
preventing further legislation infring
ing on their interest. Thus a new
political force is organized in the
politics of Wisconsin, constituting a
precedent that maybe followed in other
states. If the perpetuity of this gov
errment depends upon any one thing
more than another it is utter separa'
ton of church and state and the
eternal severance of religion and
politics.

THE Waco Day is too hard on its
base ball club. In late issue it says
OF game on its home grounds: THE
Waco base ball club, awakened TO
common sense by the criticisms of a
justly disguised public, played decent
ball in the last game and beat Austin.

the present tour which is under way,

ANOTHER VERSION.
Bismarck VIII Strike Back and win
Strike Hard.


BERLIN, April 27th-The true history of
the rupture between Prince Bismarck and
the Emperor is just coming out, though as
vet it is only whispered in dark corners
Bismarck's confidential friends who have
visited him at Fredrichsruhe say that the
ex-Chancellor is fully aware that the dis
missal is directly due to the hatred of the
Empress Frederick and that he is watching
his opportunity for revenge. and when he
strikes he will strike hard
Bismarck dismissal was the last shot
fired in the bitter duel which has been wag-
ing for years between the ex-Empress and
Bismarck.
Bismarck's practice in life has been to
crush his opponents. Hecould not destroy
the Crown Princess, and his dislike of her,
therefore, became a hatred, which the
Princess returned in the fullest measure.
This mutual aversion developed into ran
corous feud. Bismarck's influence over
the present Emperor caused q complete es-
arrangement between the young Prince and
his parent. The Princess, on the other
hand. did all in her power to undermine
the Chancellor's authority and succeeded
in frustrating many of his plans. To be
the enemy of Bismarck was a sure passport
to her favor.
At one time the Chancellor determined
to stop her intrigues and intercepted her
private correspondence, a fact of which she
complained bitterly and warned her family.
The climax was capped when Bismarck
sent Prince William to San Reno to force
his dying father to sign deed of abdica.
ton in his favor. but in this scheme the
Chancellor was defeated by the Princess
Royal. His emissary returned empty
handed.
On Frederick's accession to the throne
@taE - nj 10
moval of the Minister of the Interior, Herr
Won Puttkamer the Chancellor's chief
ally. Soon after Fredericks death the
Empress, by the publication of her hus-
bands diary, aimed the severest blow at
Bisma-ck's reputation that he had ever re-
ceived. Meanwhile the complete rap
prochement was brought about between
the Emperor and his mother, and i. was
aided By the sympathy and support of her
family in England, and was still further
able to undermine the Chancellor's posi-
ton and aided TO estrange him from the
young Emperor.
Bismarck can now clearly trace the hand
of England's Queen and the Prince OF
Wales in the forces which worked to his
downfall The strikes in Wes.phalia fur
nished the ever-wstchful Empress with a
chance for fresh blow at her arch-enemy.
Ii was at her instance that her personal
friend, Hinzpeter. was made Chief of the
Private Bureau of Investigation, whose re-
ports were Numerically opposed to Bis
marck's.
Later the Empress position, though man.
ifested in more trivial things, was none the
less bitter and sure. Through her royal
English relatives she has gradually gained
almost as complete control over her son as
she had over her husband, and has sue
ceeded in swapping Bismarck with pet.
ticoat government. No one knows better
than Bismarck how he has been defeated
by smart woman. and he winces under
it, but he will strike back. and possibly
very Soon

Causes Comment.

BERLIN, April 27th.-The chance remark
of one of the court physicians that William
II. resembles, too greatly. his cousin, the
late mailman and suicide, King Ludwig of
Bavaria, has created q profound impression
and is being repeated aud discussed and
whispered everywhere. 1t is remarked
that the Emperor's idiosyncrasies are more
and more assuming the same character as
those of the Inflated Bavarian. He has,
for example, had an elaborate full suit of
medieval armor made of bronze and inlaid
with silver, gold and precious stones.
Arrayed in this and mounted upon q mag
niicent charger, also panopaed in mail, he
is having huge historical painting of him
self made. which he intends to hang By the
side of the painting of Frederick the Great
in the great bali of the palace.
He is slso having q series OF iastaptaue-
GUS photographs made representing him
self at the head of the Royal Guard. HIM
self and horse in violent action. while the
ground all about is strewn with PROSTATE
bodies, supposed to be corpses of those
who have fallen beneath the Emperor's
lance and sword.
These and similar theatrical perform
auces are looked upon with the utmost
gravity by the physicians who make dis
orders of the brain speciality. Whatever
may be the Emperors mental health, how
ever. there is no question regarding the
strain of insanity in the family OF the EN-
press. The mother of the Empress, Ouch
ess of Augustenburg and the Princess of
Hohenlohe- Langenburg, has for years suf
f.red from o GeTanged intellect, and her
