THE GALVESTON INVESTIGATION.


Like the plot OF romance the pub
lie are led OH by the testimony OF Col.
Bonner and others to expect some
thing more startling yet to come.
Whether we shall be disappointed the
next few days will probably reveal.
All we now know is that by the occa'
sional flashes of the calcium enough
has been revealed to cause The hair TO
stand on end on the head of the average
Texan. The shadowy but undoubted
outlines of the wizard of Wall street
appear in the background. AS in the
weird mountain scene in Rip Van
Wrinkle the magician with a wave of
his wand, sets the mystic cabal OF Ty-
Ter railroad lawyers to dancing and
skipping around. All at once the
wizard and his magic wand disappear
and silence again reigns on tie scene.
1t would be as premature as unjust to
the distinguished actors in this re-
markable drama to form any judg-
ment on the affair at this time. In
fact any actual nc'usion cannot be
obtained at the present stage of the
evidence.
The only point that has been made
clear to the public, SO far, is that moth
ing remarkable has been added to the
reputation of anybody who has so far
figured in the comedy at present tran
spring at Galveston. In fact more
than one of them comes out with a
black eye, which may, however, be
rectified by further evidence in re-
buttal.
Our old friend, the Galveston News.
seems to have cotton mansard roof
over one of its optics. But
in Justice to the News let it be said
that Major Lowe. general manager of
the News stated emphat cally, under
OATH that the Claim Of TIE News
against the International receivership
was FOR legitimate advertising, nor did
lie know of any arrangement with the
TeNas Traffic association broken up by
Attorney General Hog
Therefore mus not the statement of
Col. Eddy to Receiver Bonner that the
TrafIi: association ba'gtined to pay
the News SIP ,00D to shapepublic opin-
ion and prevent legislation adverse to
the roads be taken with a grain of al
lowance2 The railroads undoubtedly
gave the News thousands of dollars
worth of business in advertising, which
the News accepted as legitimate work,
as any other paper would have done,

Fireman Killed,

DRNIsoN, Tex, June ia fireman
named William Kelly was killed at.
Armstrong tank, twenty-five miles
north of here, on the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Railroad, at 8 o'clock this
morning. He had stepped out on the
water tank to assist in taking water,
when the engine was suddenly Stacked
ahead, throwing HIM backward be
tween the engine and cars. Tho first
trucks of the car passed over him,
crushing his hips and body into a
pulp. His remains were prepared for
shipment to his parents at Hannibal,
Mo-, to which place they will be &C
companied by committee OF the
Brotherhood of Firemep.

Reducing Rates.

CHICAGO, Ill, June 19.-The tariff
OF water and rail rates issued by the
Richmond terminal, and which went
into effect today, reduces the basis to
4Sc on first class from New York to
Mississippi river, on business destined
to Missouri river points. The Kama
wha despatch" which operates over
the "Big Four" road. retaliated by
issuing tariff on the basis of 45c via
Newport News, taking effect June 90
This brings rates down to little more
than half the former figures, and it ls
not probable that the bottom has
been reached as yet. Other roads can
barely escape being drawn into the
fight.

MCKINLEY, the man who fathcred
the infamous tariff measure, which is
destined to rank second only to the
pension raiders as robber of the pub
lie till, addressed the Lincoln club in
Ohio recently, and in the course of his
remarks, made big splurges in the sea
of oratory over the reciprocity features
OF his bill. treating with true Repub-
Gcan indifference the fact that the bill
rs it left the house was as bare of re-
ciprocity ideas as it yet is of good
sense.

THAT decidedly peculiar publication
the San Antonio Express, says that
''the establishment of a permanent
state encampment is undoubtedly the
best thing that could be done for the
militia. As the military headquarters
OF the southwest, San Antonio is the
place for it, There can be no ques-
tion but mistake has been made.
Everybody must admit that. 1t is not
such mistake, however, as the Ex-
press imagines. The fact is that the
United States military quarters now
located at San Antonio ought to be in
Austin. This is the proper place for
them and it is not too late to correct
the mistake. Speak to Uncle Sam
about it, anyhow.

class legislation, Alliance steerers, the
sub treasury scheme and similar enc

AN IRON TONIC.

The following bit of general reading
matter is from the New York Journal
Of Commerce "All indications point
to the probability that new life will
soon be infused into the iron industry
of America, which for so long a time
has been stagrant and protitless.
From different sections Of the country
come reports of new awakening in
this dirt elton, and it is apparent that
we are on the eve of strong and
healthy revival of the iron trade This
means much. 1t means renewed ac-
tivity in niue and shop; it means the
introduction OF new capital. the con-
sequent increased employment of Ia
Der, the circulation of more money
and general prosperity. Handicapped
as it has been by powerful competition,
resulting in lack of profits or positive
loss, the iron trade has for some time
offered no inducement to the capitalist
or investor. But, now that the price
of ore has been reduced and more
modern appliances render possible
cheaper and profitable mining and
manufacture, a new spirit Of develop
ment has shown itself, a new impetus
has been given to the trade, and we
can confidently look forward to a
future big with promise for the iron
industry"
Iron is the tonic which will put life
and vigor into trade every time. This
is tonic that Texas has in abundance,
and her commercial apothecary shops
are already beginning to command ex-
tensive attention. Texas iron fields
will one day be recognized around the
world, and in this, as in other indus
tries, the Empire state of the south
We will take front rank.

1T is pleasurable to note that the
money for the Commercial Club is
flowing in in steady and welcome
stream. Every contract that club has
made has been to Austin's benefit and
its Obligations must be met promptly
and fully. THE STATESMAN was in
formed last night that every man on
East Pecan street has paid his six
months subs aription in full. This is
an excellent record. 1t should this
week be written of every street in
Austin.
