Then and Now.

Will the Galveston News and other anti
alien law journals tell US how we got along
in Texas ten years ago, before the En- liSh
and Scotch lords loaned any money in
Texas?-[ Austin News.
We got along in large measure on foot
or in stages, instead Of by rail- as now; by
purchasing all our bacon and flour in other
states instead of having large mills and
packeries as now; BY paying % cents on the
500 valuation Of property to support the
government, instead of 1873 cents as now !;
by sending our children to school in uncouth
and uncomfortable schoolhouses-Or kept
them at home-instcad of giving them an
opportunity to seek education amid pleasant
and enthusing surroundings, as now; by u
series OF wild specializing schemes, inflated
with 20 per cent money, and leaving ruin in
their train, instead of the close calculated
legitimate enterprise carried on with S per
cent money as now. In short, By sheer
force of material advantages, and the high
price of stock, cheaply raised on free graz
ing land. and because money was plenty and
speculation was rife, Texas enjoyed a high
degree of prosperity. But when the bottom
dropped out of the cattle business and the
time came when the country had TO depend
upon legitimate enterprises for prosperity
and could not afford 10 operate on Is and 20
per cent money, times became dull and the
people saw they must have cheap funds to
develop the resources OF the state. This,
through the competition caused by the large
amount of foreign money sent here for in
vestment, We were able to get, the conse-
queuce of which has been the building of
railroads, Of mills, of factories and pack
ing houses, and a general and permanent
improvement in every portion of the state
attended by lighter taxes, better schools,
more churches, heater and more comforta-
bic houses, higher state of moral ard in
tellectual cultivation and greater degree
of happiness and usefulness upon the part
of the citizens OF the state. The man who
would turn back decade is an enemy to
his country and his kind. There is no man
so useless in this world as the one who ex-
lists in the past with mind full of regrets.
instead of living in the present, with
brain full of plans and a heart full of nope
for the future.

The Morgan steamship Line.


The withdrawal of the Morgan steamship
line from Galveston seems to have been the
occasion for much excitement and food OF
talk in that city yesterday, the News
charactcriZing it as Il ''veritable bomb eX-
ploSion in commercial and shipping cir
cles."
The Post states by authority that the
withdrawal of the line from Galveston was
influenced by no consideration whatever
except that it was not sufficiently remuner-
alive to the company to justify its cCntiuu-
ancc. 1t does not involve the stopping Of
the barges between Houston and Calves
ton, and the Houston direct navigation
company viii continue its business as here
tofore.
The withdrawal Of the steamships from
Galveston has nothing whatever TO do with
the Texas railway commission, nor was it
in the slightest degree prompted by any
action OF that body.
The Southern Pacific has not complained
of the commission, and believes that it is
actuated by sense of fairness and a de
termination to do right, and the various
surrnises of the persons interviewed, as
published in the News, about preparing 10
fight the commission and the rates fixed by
it in Texas and the detection of freights,
are mere idle vaporinSs.
The steamship line TO Galveston was a
small affair, the earnings of which were
not sufficient 10 Justify its continuance,
hence it was withdrawn, and that is all
there IS of it.

The school Girl and Her Responsibilities

Since your memorable scholarship con

and interest from the people at large, and
resulted in pawn" the way for such Il large
number of our brightest and most promis-
ing girls to secure 4 complete and thorough
education, perhaps q few thoughts upon the
responsibilities OF the school girl would not
be out of place.
Young ladies, you who are leaving Texas
in the honorable and conspicuous capacity
of fair representatives in / foreign college
cannot afford to allow this mark of GisIinc-
ton TO turn your heads and receive vain
and idle treatment at YOUR hands. Zach
one OF you should strive in the grayest
manner possible to realize and grasp the
true import and meaning of the situation
There was g time in woman'S history W hen
her sphere of action was limited TO i rdr-
row field. but that time is rapidly passing
away, and under the broad democratic
spirit of our American civilization the scope
of her usefulness is being rapidly extended.
She is no longer regarded by the opposite
sex as q dependent and helpless, cliugiug
wall-fower, suited alone for ornament, but
a real, living factor in the worlds great
drama. just in proportion as the truth is
made clear that woman under similar train
ing and education is mans intellectual
equal will her influence and response

future civilization he felt. These facts and
tendencies of our tunes should receive the
most careful consideration of every school
girl, but more particularly you who are
leaving our state in 4 representative ca
pacity. No educational foundation can be
too broad nor system OF culture aud train
ing too thorough TO meet fully the demands
that will be upon you. l would not for d
moment discourage due attention to music
art and other ornamental branches that are
so essential TO complete the grace ald love
illness of true womanly character, but at
the same time, while taking on these ac-
complishmeuts, learn to think and reason
for yourselves. 1t is these qualities that

NEGRO TRAIN WRECKERS.
Two Caught and Made to Confess to
Having Attempted to Cause a Horrible
Dissster--A Narrow Escape.

MEMPHIS, TESE., Aug pa daring at

Illinois Central railway yesterday. An
awful disaster was narrowly averted.
About seven miles north of Holly Springs
carpenters are repairing bridge AS the
uorth-bound train came in sight of the
bridge the engineer noticed that one OF the
rails seemed to be unduly elevated. He
quickly applied the air-brakes and
reversed his engine As the engine
went on the bridge it was discovered that
piece OF iron, known as the stirrup among
bridgemen, had been securely fastened to
the rail, and would have thrown any train
from the track. Luckily, only the front
trucks of the engine left the rails. Word
was sent at once along the road, and soon
after posse. with NJ. L. Brewer of Holly
Springs at their head, went in pursuit OF
the perpetrators Of the deed.

to guard against any attempt at rescue. He
left revolver with the ba@gage-mGster for

responsible for the tragedy. He laid the
revolver down on the safe in the car, and
Bryant soon secured it. As the train was

THE COMMISSION.

Confidence in the railroad commits
sion has grown amazingly in the past
two months, and among all classes OF
people too, not excepting many OF those
nervous and apprehensive folks who
looked with naught but dread upon any
interference by the state in the affairs
of the railroads. The cautious and
conservative manner in which the COM
mission has entered upon the difficult
task before il, and the friendly DISPOSE
ton which it has uniformly manifested
for the roads, while keeping steadily in
view the rights of the shipper and the
consumer, have treasured the traffic
men themselves. and allayed whatever
serious apprehensions they may have
felt, if any. The truth is that they
have never had cause to fear the COM

THE scheme 10 make Mr.. Cleveland
governor of New York, 10 keep him
before the people until the Democratic
convention meets, is not one TO receive
his approval. There are two difficulties
in the way. He would have to win the
nomination against other Democrats,
and the election against the Republican
candidate. Neither Of these things can
be counted on with certainty. Defeat
before either the convention or the
people would retire him from the race.
Mr.. Cleveland is not accepting more
dangerous chances than he has 10.

two negroes sneakiug away through the
bushes. Suspicion was directed toward
them. The posse heard o. Tho
negroes being seen in the vicinity.
and an accurate description WAS
secured of both. After chase Of several
hours Brewer caught the two negroes.
They gave their names as VIII Frost and
VIII Mcdowell. They were separated b.
the posse, and each said enough TO iUp-icate
the other They were then confronted,
and their captor told each what the other
had said. They confessed having done the
deed. Frost said Nc Oowel had a large AKA
which he intended to use for breaking IN
the coaches in case of the wreck. The ne
groeS were taken 20 Holly Springs and
jailed. Both men have = reputation 81

that they intended to wreck the tram for

mission, as under the law itself the
courts are wide open to them to correct
any wrongs or injustices inflicted upon
them.
But howsoever cautious and consid-
crate its action, somebody is going to
be displeased, and critics will find fault.
That is the case now under a system
that the railroad men themselves are
wont to praise as the result OF many
years experience and the hig hest order
of executive ability. But while the
commission is not infallible, ii should
be remembered by the fault-fnders that
it is in position to understand the
railroad situation far better than
any individual can; that it knows
and can estimate far more ac-
curately than any outsider can, the
numerous factors and conditions that
enter into the complex problem OF rate
making, and that, all things consid-
cred, it is far more apt to be right
than the man whose view is limited
and knowledge slight. There is this
about it, also: Ii it should make mis-
take it can correct the mistake the
moment the fact is made known.
OF course all this is based on the
assumption that the commission is COM
posed of men OF honesty, ability and
clear-sightedness. II anyone is cap
tious or mean enough to question the
validity of the assumption, there is no
hope for him. He belongs with the IT.

While the sub-treasuryites at the
Dallas meeting were assuring us that
the Alliance was not a political institu-
ton, and would take no part whatever
in partisan politics, President Polk:
the big mogul of them all, was telling
the Associated Press at Washington
that the Alliance was in politics up to
lis eyes, and would have national
ticket in the field next year. Now whom
are we to believe? President Jones or
President Polk? II the former, how
can the latter escape the imputation Of
ignorance or deception? If we believe
President Polk instead of President
Jones, shall we not be compelled to the
conclusion that President Jones either
does not know what he is talking about,
or is guilty OF deception? Everything
indicates that President Polk, who is
the national head OF the Alliance,
knows what the programme for 1892 is
to be. and that President Jones and
Messrs. Tracy, Sledge, Macune and the
ringleaders generally OF the sub-treas-
ury contingent know it, but with disin-
guenousness cloak their designs in this
state for purposes Of their own.

EAST TEXAS needs no money-it is
subsidized by the state, and can favor
any law like the Gossett amendment
that obstructs the Development Of West
Texas and the transfer OF political con-
troll to the western half of the state.
East Texas has a good thing and
knows it. West Texas, in its own in
terest, can safely oppose any law IA
vored by the Henderson Times. Rusk
county is subsidized to the extent Of
$4,000 annually. With cheap money
and an honest apportionment, West
Texas would come to its own, and Rusk
county would have to rustic for liv-
ing. as West Texas has been Going all

BORDER BANDITS.

Southwest Texas needs very much a
vigorous application of Governor
Hogg's law and order policy. Crime is
rampant in that region. Murder, lar
ceny, cutting and shooting are common
as lying. and men down there account
themselves small potatoes until they
have acquired distinction by some dar-
ing act Of deyiltry. To be Z Desperate
and able to bring down an enemy at
long range, or slip keen blade skill
fully under his fifth rib, is something
to be proud Of To make foray into
neighhoring ranch and capture 4 herd
Of cattle or horses, to be sold elsewhere,
is only an interesting pastime. The
desperadoes and outlaws that were to
be found years ago scattered through
out the more settled portions of the
state have been gradually pushed TO
the southwark, until now their only
habitat is along the Rio Grande and
the counties bordering on it, or not far
distant from it. In this largely unin-
habited region they prowl and depre-
date and defy the law. The scare re-
Gently created by them at Brownsville
shows how they terrorize and over-awe
the natives. When the governor re-
turns from the gulf with his backbone
newly braced and his nerve strength
ened by the invigorating air an dwater
on the coast, he should issue an edict
and let slip the dogs of war against the
bandits Of the border.

THE adjournment of the conglomer-
ate convention at Topeka, Kan, with
out coming to any agreement, is an ad
ditional evidence of the difficulty of
molding the diverse sentiments and
interests OF the Peoples party into one
homogeneous organization. The arti-
sans wanted an eight-hour day, which
didn't suit the farmers, because it
would advance the price II al manu-
features that the farmers buy, and no
eight-hour day was practicable ON the
farm. In Tennessee, too, a serious
cause of disagreement has come up in
the proposition to stop the leasing OF
convicts. The farmers OF the Alliance
are against the proposed change. but
the trades unions and other working
mems organizations demand it, and on
this point the Peoples party is split.
1t is impossible to build up party of
elements whose interests are opposed,
and time spent in the effort is thrown
away

THE sub-treasury Alliance people are
unreasonable. They profess to favor
equal rights to all and to oppose special
privileges to any. They also profess
that the Alliance exacts no partisan re-
quirements Of its members. But the
sub-treasuryites expel all who differ
with them, and denounce newspapers
that refuse 10 accept the sub-treasury
scheme of finance. The sub-treasury-
ties are intolerant, arrogant, and
preach what they do not practice. This
is free country. and men can do as
they please, politically. Men have a
right to be Democrats, Republicans or
Third-partyites, and the sub-treasury
bosses cannot prevent.
