Next week we will give our readers

Mr.. Clemens, if he were in the
senate, could we believe get SINH
lar bill to the above through that
body, at least would make a strong
effort in that direction. A law OF
that sort would be worth untold
millions to our farmers, it is they
who have to suffer the less from
excessive freights.
Mr.. Clemens favors a rail road
commission. He is not an extrem-
est in any thing, but Is strictly con-
servative man, and his record in the
Legislature in 1879 and 1889 shows
him to be strictly friend OF the
masses. He is square democrat
with no blot upon his political re-

A business meeting was held in the
rooms OF the Board OF Trade Saturday
for the purpose OF discussing the
feasibility OF making the Trinity
navigable between Dallas and Calves,

able. provided the merchants of Dal-
las could be sufficiently interested to
raise the money to cut the channel.
Miss Jennie Calef and her com
pany arc now playing the comedy
drama OF "Kathleen Mavonureen' at
the Oak Cliff summer theatre. Pub
lie opinion is very much divided IN
regard to the histrionic ability of
the little actress.
The Elm street cable road will
doubtless be in running order in time
for the next fair. The present mule
force on the Dallas circuit street rail
way will shortly be changed to IN
electric power, and will give the pub
lie better service by four trips per
hour instead Of one, as now.
Whether jay Gould's visit to the
Queen City caused real estate to 60
up 25 per cent, rs was predicted by
q leading Dallasite, certain it is that
q corner 5Ox100 feet on Nam street,
was sold for $4,000. A man would
not need to own but few such
corners to be classcd with the "money
kings" Suburban property is
high, and hardly a week goes by
that one does not hear somebody
lamentng the fact that he did not
buy such piece of property when
it was offered to him $50 cheap"
Speaking ofreal estate tr transactions
calle to mind the unusually good
luck of negro woman living here.
Many years ago, when Dallas was in
her babyhood, this woman bought
some land from Capt. Lennon, for
which she was to pay $500. She has
already sold $4,000 worth from the
original tract and has part of it left

A party of business men from

viting ex President Cleveland to
come to the fair. From accounts
they are having royal time.
During the past two weeks, the
sound of the hammer has not been
heard, painters and paper bankers,
likewise, were on strike. Satur-
day at noon the matter was settled.
The workingmen gained their object
in striking, which Was shorter hours
and the same pay.
Bellamy's solution of the labor
problem, in "Looking Backward" is
one Of the best articles that has ever
been written on the subject. The
theory is certainly beautiful, whether
it is practicable or not is question
for future ages to solve.
Mr.. Bellamy divides life into three
periods, viz; from infancy to the age
of 81 is the first period and is de-
voted to the development of mind
and educational purposes, from Il
to As is the working period, from 45
till death is the time of rest and ease,
generously supported by the Nation.
Who would mind growing old under
such q soul-satisfying condition of
affairs7 Will it ever happen, we
wonder? None can tell, but It's q

TILE NEU H1Nh BIII.

Senator Sherman has introduced the Bank
bill prepared by the Hon j. }. Knox, former
Controller of the Currency, of which details
and explanations by Mr.. Knox were published
some time ago. The measure is further sup
ported 10y Mr. Knox in statements teegraphed
from Washington, which were published yes
terday, and the introduction of the measure
by Senator Sherman indicates that 1t is likely
to he strongly supported.
The object of this measure is to preserve the
National banking system. With that object,
provided safety can be maintained, all VINO
are able inteligently to compare the present
system with the operations of the old state
banks will heartily sympathizc. But there Is
a large body, not in either party exclusively
who have felt for many years that the creation
of currency by banking institutions which de-
rive their power from the Government Is op-
jcctionablc, and to the people wrongful ana
that the advantages resulting from issue OF
circulation should belong wholly to the people
themselves. and be realized through the issue
of currency directly by the Government. IhS
disposition was strong enough to prevent Tor
many years any of the measures necessary To
arrest the surrender of bank circulauon even
though they were supported by Democrats rs
able and influential as Senator Mcpherson.
1t is to be questioned whether the same spirit
will not defeat the e'1or of Mr.. Knox.
On its merits the measure is calculated to
secure the circulation of banks at much less
cost to them than that now involved by the
hirh price of bonds. On circulation OF
$500. 600 deposit of only 100000 four-per-
cont honds would be rcouircd and a deposit OF
sos, coo in gold or silver bullion. The re-
mainder of the circulation would be protected
bv the safety fund derived from the tax on
bank circulation. The only objection which
can be urged as respects safety, IS that TIA"
new arrangements might lead to the oIganlza-
ton of banks more recklcS>y, or perhaps more
frequently with dishonest intent 50 that the
percentage of loss hitherto observed might NOT
be maintained But no valid objection exists
10 the use of the tax on circulation which Coy
crnment does not need in order 10 secure a
safe National banking currency, provided the
superiority Of such u currency Is conceded
1t is just at this point that Mr. knoAN bill
will meet with opposition. Some may indeed
object that there is no conceivable reason lor
requiring the deposit OF any United states
bonds whatever: that gold dollar j, sufficient
security, even if as yet uncoincd, for dollar
in paper and that dollars worth of silver
bullion is of the same value and likewise of
sufficient security. But the main resistance to
this. as to all other plans Of a similar nature
will come from those who want the currency
10 be issued By the Government alone, and NOT
at all by banking Institutions

ELECTRICAL CONTROL.

The first formal attempt TO cmbOdy in lcgis-
lation the universal opinion that electric cur
rents must be put and kept where they belong
has just been made at Albany. We cannot
convince ourselves that it is a happy effort.
Senator Roesch. Of the With Ncw-l ork Dis
trict, introduced a bill yesterday creating "A
State Board OF Electrical Control. 20 Tar so
good The caption OF the measure may be ad-
mirablc. but the contents are not pleasing
The bill provides that the Board shall consist
Of three members. one Republican, one Demo-
ciat. and one expert, to be named by the Gov
ernor and confirmed by the senate. Oi
course. it is possible that all three OF the com
missioncrS 50 selected might be experts since
the bill does not in terms forbid it, but the
chances that they would be are extremely
small. 1t may have been the Senator'S lnten-
tion to surround his proposed Board with an
atmosphere of -partiSanShip, and we snail
be glad to hear that he thinks he has succeed
ed but however important the element OF uS-
intcrestedncSS may ac. il is not the only essen
tial. The existing Board of Electrical Con-
troll has been more or less non-partlSan, IN one
sense of the term and yet we don't hopestl!
think that il has been a success. even III It's own
private estimation. Political impartiality Is
good thing. but without very liberal admlXt-
ure of knowledge, skill and conscience 1t Will
never succeed in solving the manifold and per
picking problems which the domestic use OF
electricity involves.
There is too much reason TO fear that II Mr.
Roeschs bill becomes a law We shall discover
that the new Board is composed OF two parts
politics and one part knowledge ana that the
eNpcrt will find himself exceedingly lonely,
disconsolatc and useless. Would it not havc
been better 10 provide that the commission
should consist of three experts aS the first
requisite? Subsidiary guarantees OF freedom
from political bias would then be not only
highly proper and useful but they could bc
much more readily obtained if the choice wcrc
80 restricted We do not imagine that Mr.
Roc,chs bill in its present form viii ever be
come law The Senator from the With Dis
trict is a Tammany man, and. 50 far aS wa
know. in good and regular standing but he Is
presumably not the person 10 whom the leaders
of that organization would have intruStcd th"
fate of a measure which they were determined
to pres, at all hazards, We expect to see the
present chaos in matters electrical reduced to
order hv means of wise and comprehensive
enactment. and this cannot hc accomplished
TOO early in the session; but when the law Is
PASSED, we do not imagine that senator RoeSch
will recognize it as his offspring.

person shall do in order to take up with her
the relations he has laid down. But she has
no right to take it for granted that he has laid
them down simply because he is on her soil
If that right were conceded, it might be claimed
that Brazil could enforce the obligations OF
citizens upon people who were not in the least
desirous of accepting them. Such cases can be
easily supposed. Some Americans now there
may not have seen or heard of the decree.
Through neglect or an insufficient apprehension
of what must be done to escape Brazilian cit
izcnship they may have failed to perform
the service required of them. Are they to be
perfOrcc Brazians?
Senior FonScca and his associates have en-
tirey mistaken the theory upon which natu-
raIizatiOn is based. 1t does not imply the
right of one State to swell its population and
resources by means of a drag at the cX-
pcnse of other States. 1t merely implies the
night of an Individual to 60 where he likes, pro-
vided he is welcome where he goes. The de-
cree of December 10 should be rescnded. 1t
