History is said 10 repeat itself and it may
be that it viii be so in the real estate
dealing IN Fort Worth. Property owners
here several years ago did not know the
value of their holdings until gentlemen liv-
ing in other states came here and bought.
The first purchase made people talk, and
when buyers kept on coming our people
opened their eyes. There are in the city now
several gentlemen who are negotiating for
the purchase OF q tract of 400 acres
OF land near the city. and from what
could DE learned last night 1t IS more than
likely they viii buy. These gentlemen live

THE TEXAS COMMISSION.

The day is fast approaching when
the railway commission of Texas VIII
undertake what has never yet been at
tempted in the state, to-wit: The sys-
tematic regulation of railways and
their business. June 10 has been fixed
as the day on which the commissioners
have agreed to organize and prepare
TO put in execution the law whose
failure or success depends on the good
sense, capacity and executive ability
with which it is applied to the man
agement of the complicated affairs OF
railroads.
No one, it is believed. seriously
doubts that the commissioners are fully
equal to the task before them. They
may not be skilled in the details OF
railroad management, but they know
what the situation is, what the law,
and likewise know what the people ex-
pect of them. They have law that is
sufficiently clear in its provisions and
that makes plain the way before them.
1t is a strong but flexible law. There
is no cast iron in it, no pot metal;
nothing but good old hickory whose
elastic properties enable the law to ac-
commodate itself to whatever condition
presents itself. This appears in the
long and short haul clause. in the
grouping of rates, the provision for Il
judicial inquiry into the reasonable
ness of rates. and other features of the
law.
Why there should be any special
difficulty attending the effort to put
the law into execution, beyond the
necessary labor at the outset of prepar-
ing tables Of classification and rates,
establishing rules, etc, does not ap-
pear. To think so is to presume that
the roads mean 10 oppose, to antago-
nize, TO fight the commission, which is
Of course nonsensical. Railroads have
fully as much sense as their critics, if
not more. They know that the law is
to be executed for the public good,
which includes themselves as well as
others. A law or a commission that
would seriously injure or damage the
railroads, or that would operate against
the extension OF railway building, would
meet with popular eXecration. Neither
could survive year. The people who
ten months ago were recklessly stig-
matted as anarchists ready 10 loot and
wreck railroad property, would be the
first to resent such contamination.
The railroads know this to be true, and
it is presumed are laboring under far
less apprehension from the commission
than some of their timid and over
Jealous friends appear TO do. Indeed,
this has been the case from the Begin
ming of the commission campaign a
year ago down TO the present moment.
All the fear and trembling, all the ter
ror inspired by the commission has
been mainly in the breasts Of
the political friends and re-
tainers of the railroads, and in
certain newspaper Offices. Very
little kicking has been done by the
railroads themselves. Indeed a few
railroad men have publicly COM
mended the commission method OF
regulation. But in spite OF all that,
certain people who are not themselves
the owners OF any railroad property,
still persist in the soulful luxury OF

4 Correction,

Editor Gazette.
The Plano correspondent 10 Tue GAZETTE
must have sat on the back seat while taking
notes of the district conference, as he made
some considerable blunders. He reported
that we decided to ask the board of mis-
sions to appropriate $1,000 to the North Fort
Worth mission. Nothing was said about
any amount. The committee on missions
recommended that the North Fort Worth
mission be continued, and that the confer
ence board OF missions be asked to make q
liberal appropriation, and that man be
asked for for the place Of sufficient ability
TO develop the resources of the work. Moth
ing was said about the church extension
board helping TO build church house in
North Fort Worth. 1 stated to the confer
ence that a leading member of the First
church in Fort Worth had told me that
whenever we get ready to build over there
his church would help Us IS much as they
could.
Please make these corrections for the
information Of those of your readers who
are interested in the mission.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO DISTRICT

After consultation with the Executive
Committee in regard to the lecture sys-
tenn formulated and adopted by the
National Legislative Council; and
whereas in many of our districts
lecturers had been at work for some
time and appointments had been pub
lished before the action of the Legisla-
tive council was known; and whereas
the time is so short from May district
meetings, as per order of our National
President, to our annual meeting of the
State Alliance; and whereas the May
meeting would bring an additional ex-
pense to the order, and the change
would carry confusion to our brethren
on account of appointments already
published, it is therefore ordered that
the lecturers already appointed must
continue their work till the regular
meeting of the State Alliance, and that
the system proposed by our National
Legislative Council be deferred till that
meeting. ELIAS CARR,

AN ATTACK ON REE


The most dangerous attack on Greek
in the schools and colleges yet seen,
was made the other day in England,
at a meeting of the head-masters of the
Eaton, Harrow. Rugby, Winchester,
Westminster, CharterhOuse, St. Pauls
Clifton, and other schOOls-One of their
usual annual or semi annual gather
ings. 1t was led, or in fact made, by
Mr. Weldon, the head-master OF Har-
row. He advocated the abolition OF
obligatory Greek both at school and at
college, and the substitution of science,
or mOdean languages, on two grounds.
The first was the need of adapting edu-
cation to Individual tastes and capacity.
The secOnd-in the interest of Greek
study itself-was that the Greek Ian
guage might be left in the hands of
those who really loved it and could
cultivate it with successful a sort of
classical elite, in short, who would
rescue it from its present degraded con-
dition, as the bugabOo of ounces and
sluggards. There was a good deal of
discussion, pro and con, which elected
nothing very new, but Mr.. Weldon
came within two votes of carrying his
resolution, this adverse majority being
obtained by the adhesion of two of the
smaller schools. We doubt if anything
so ominous for Greek has yet occurred,
for the English public schools r it's
stronghold to-day, and indeed England
may be said to be it's main champion.
It has never struck such deep roots in
education and general culture on the
Continent or in this country.-N. Y.
Nation.
