LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR WHEELER
AND THE COMMISSION.

Elsewhere in this issue Mr.. Wheeler
announces his views on the questions
of the hour, and states the platform
upon which he asks the suffrages Of
Texas that he may be elected to the
gubernatorial chair. He favors both
constitutional amendments submitted
devoting considerable space to a
discussion of the railroad question.
Taking great pains to state his posi-
ton, he can not be Misunderstood.
He wants commission endowed with
neither judicial, legislative nor execu-
tive power, merely an advisory
board, a body of men
to investigate the railroad
question, collect data, the fullest in
formation concerning all railroad
workings, and upon occasion to re-
port to some legal authority railroad
abuses. The question recurs does
such work require a board, or could
not one official with clerical help do
it all? And again, if dread of injur-
ing railroads or frightening railroad
capital away from the State are to be
the ruling considerations, is not the
danger couched in the simple word
commission" regardless of what pow
er such commission" may have?
Why agitate the question at all if
nothing substantial is to be accom-
plished? The STATESMAN is an
earnest advocate OF the time
honored principle "equal rights to all,
special privileges to none." THE
STATESMAN is warm friend Of both
the railroads and the people-its
golden dream is of the time when both
will enjoy their fullest rights. But to
us at this time it seems discussion
OF the kind of commission, if any, that
may be established, should the pro-
posed constitutional amendment carry,
is not subject germane to the issue.
What is now to be determined posi-.
lively and unequivocally is the peo-
pies right to govern the railroads
through their agent, the legislature,
and as their servants the State legis-
lators may deem best. The legisla-
tors are part of the people, they
come up from the body of the
people, do not the people know and
trust them before they consent to
put them in power2 Their action
under this amendment, if carried, is
matter for the future. The question
now is will the amendment carry?
Mr.. Wheeler in announcing his can
didacy for the governorship declares
he will vote for the amendment.

AT the time the special committee

OF the State treasury made their re-

on said report. 1t showed there were
in the treasury about a million and a
half dollars in actual cash besides seven
millions in bonds. In fact, it showed
a very different condition OF
affairs than found to exist in very
many OF the States OF the Union
where defaulting state treasurers seem
to have been epidemic. By the way,

JEFFERSON DAVIS RELIEF FUND.


Attention is directed to the very
full and self-explanatory circular just
issued and published elsewhere this
morning, calling attention to a duty
the South owes the memory OF Jeffer-
son Davis. He was true son OF the
South, his name is known wherever
history is read, he was the leader of a
great people through years the most
important in any nations history. 1t
is really but little thing now asked
of the South, expected Of Texas.
Every newspaper in the State should
promptly reproduce this circular letter
and advocate its cause. The STATES
MAN calls the special attention of its
home people to this appeal and urges
upon them prompt and generous ac-
ton. A noble cause is to be assisted,
let us act promptly and generously.
IT is understood the dam executive
committee still have on hand a con-
siderable amount of money, This
fund was raised for Austin's material
benefit. Can it now be better dis.
posed Of than by turning it over to
the advertising committee, which is,
through the leading dailies of the
Union, singing Austin's praises. This
work is exceedingly valuable to Aus
tin, but it requires money, and aworld
of it. The surplus in the dam com.
mittee treasury could not be better, if
indeed half SO well employed, as by

Astronomy and Photography.

The most astonishing results over all of
the sciences have been produced In astron-
only by the aid of photography. After an
exposure of thirty-three minutes, the same
Instrument which renders visible :. to the
human eye stars of the fourteenth magni-
tude, which in the entire heavens would
register about A 100000 of stars, shows to
the Photographic eye 134,OOO,0OO, and, On
an exposure of one hour and twenty
minutes, would throw before the astonish-
ed gaze of the beholder luminous dust of
100000, 900 stars Never before in the
history of humanity has man possessed the
power of penetrating so profoundly into the
depths of the infinite,
When it is remembered that, with the
Lick 36-inch glass, the moon is brought
within about 100 miles of the earth, with
this new 40-inch objective IN the hands of
the astronomer we may almost expect to
be able to photograph the inhabitants on
that satellite, providing, however, they
remain sufficiently quiet during the
lengthy exposure.

Country Life in Chilli.
Harper's Magazine.

Agricultural Chilli is pleasant and in
terestlng country to visit. The scenery,
suggesting memories alternately of Cali
fornia, Switzerland, and northern Italy,
is both grand and charming. Nothing
can be seen mere majestic and impressive
than the main ridge of the Andes,
with the volcanic peaks white with snow,
while occasionally toward the south some
small crater shoots up volumes of smoke
and lava, as Villa RIGA did about the time
that | was at the scenery along the Rio
Blo-Blo, whose slnuous banks the railway
follows between San Rosendo and Concep-
eton. In parts this river, the longest and
broadcast in the republic, having a course
of 222 miles, reminds one of the Loire, ex-
cept that it flows continuously between
sloping and often wooded hills. Like the
Loire, it is full of shifting sand banks,
some of clean yellow sand, others of black
volcanic sand; and these, as the water
varies IN depth, give to the surface a
MORE of violet and yelIowish green. As
for the rustic population, and the Incl
dents of life along the road, they offer
plenty of material for the painter, and
food for reflection to the student of man.

ton, needing no house furniture, no COM

the simplest forms of ceramic ware.
What palmer food could be found than
bread, beans, and onion pie? What
more natural drinking vessel than a Gala

the ''poncho?" What shoe more easily

obvious combination of food and drink
than the familiar watermelon, which
would seem to be the chief and onl7 nour-

SLEEPING WITH A BABY.
A Man Who Has Lived Through the Elk
perience Tells His Story.
Detroit Free Press

Detroit Free Press.
The free from care and easy taking old
bachelor who, IN his momentary lapse of
wisdom, contemplates matrimony, should
at the same time reflect on the remote but
contingent possibility of his having to
some time sleep with a baby, should he
marry. Years of experience of martyrdom
make me feel it to be my duty to set forth
the misery arising from contingency of
this kind.
The babe, if he happens to be lusty lit
re fellow of or 9 months, will decline to
stay covered and will also decline to al
low you to keep yourself covered He in
dicates his wishes In this direction by
keeping his little pink heels going al
night, a gooo part of the time on your
back
He will also insist on lying ''crosswise, .
endwise, ''cat cornered," "bias" or ia
any other position but that which will
give you few inches of room in the bed
and few minutes sleep. His infantile
needs will begin to manifest themselves
about l o'clock in the morning, at which
witching hour you will 60 laundering
around in the dark after a drink of
water
He will howl steadily and cheerfully
from to 3 o'clock and will kick you
furiously between the shoulder blades with
every howl. 1t will not be of any use for
you to pat him tenderly and sing out,
There, there" He is right there and
knows it and intends that you shall know
it.
1t is no use to say coaxingly, "What does
papas baby want?' Papa baby doesn't
want anything but to howl, and he is graft
flying that amiable desire to the utmost. 1t
is of no use to add to your judgment-day
list of enormities by swearing. And if
your wife has been calmly passive through
it all she will develop an amazing degree
of spirit if you dare lay the
weight of your finger in anger on
that poor, dear, little innocent. darling
sweetness" He will squirm all night as
though he was first cousin to an angle
worm. He will journey around all over
the bed both under and on top of the COW
erings.
You are no sooner asleep than one of his
moist little heels are planted firmly ON your
nose or in your mouth, and, later on,
with childhood's scorn of decency and
decorum, he will sit astride your neck and
will grow green and purple with rage
when gently made TO sit elsewhere
Should he fall out of bed and yell loud
enough to be heard all over your ward
your wife will say that she firmly believes
that you pushed him out and that you are
not fit to be father, anyhow An ami
mated dialogue of a purely personal
and private nature will follow this re-
mark.
But when the registering little chap
finally struggles up to you and goes to
sleep with one of his velvety little cheeks
close to your own, and one of his warm,
soft arms around your neck, you find your
heart growing very soft and tender to-
ward him, and you would single handed
wage war against host or lay down your
life for the love of him.
