Rise Above L.ocalism.
Blanco County Star

Velasco has sprung into prominence
with the alacrity of boarding house flea.
She most undoubtedly has secured deep
water, and has done it through the enter
prize OF private citizens. The government
contributions which have been so lavishly
bestowed upon other Texas towns, notably
Galveston and Sabine Pass, have been doled
out most sparingly TO Velasco. The principle
of paternaliSm never received blacker eye
than has been given it by Velasco. Colo
RADIO, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico and
South Dakota need a deep water port on
the Western gulf coast, to which they are
naturally tributary, and, Texas must have it,,
or go on paying out millions annually to
have her immense surplus hauled to the
Atlantic seaboard. We don't want ports OF
entry established indiscriminatcly along
our coast, but we are yet free from any
danger of a multiplicity Of them. and
Neiasco lying nearly as far south of Gal
weston as Sabine Pass is north of it offers
us splendid outlet to the 'big briny."
Let petty jealousy be superseded by q
generous rivalry and let all Texans make
the most that we can out of our only
present deep water port, and the day we
hope is not far distant when we will have
not only one, but many deep water harbors
along our Seaboard.

REBATES.

REBATES.
6he ST. Louis Globe-DemOcrat de-
vol Is an editorial leader to defense of
thf practice which it admits to be COM
Ybn among railroads, of granting re-
Plates and the like to favored shippers,
although the practice is prohibited by
law. 1t would seem to be a waste of
time to argue with a paper that openly
encourages violation of the law, but
there is one consideration that alone is
enough to condemn rebates by rail-
roads, and that is the fact that roads
are public highways, SO declared by
the supreme court of the United
States, and time and again by state
and Federal courts. The state cannot
exercise its right of eminent domain to
authorize a railroad company to dis
criminate against some OF its citizens,
to build up one man and pull down
another. Such an exercise OF power
would be nothing less than tyranny in
its worst and most odious form. A
railway company Is authorized by the
state. to run its line precisely where it
wants to, and to condemn right of way,
upon the assumption that it is to treat
all of its patrons with equal and exact
justice. The granting of rebates,
special rates and drawbacks is neither
fair nor just, and clearly is violation
of chartered rights, and form of dis
elimination that from its secrecy is
most reprehensible and entirely odious.
Capacity, energy, industry and the
keenest business skill are of no avail
against the slow poison OF rebates. 1t
has reduced thousands of the best men
to bankruptcy, and it should be prohib-
tied as an unmixed evil.

FoRT WORTH does not appear to be max
ing much progress toward building the
road to Albuquerque. The construction of
such a road would have given Fort Worth
prominence that would have placed her
beyond all rivalry, but her people and press
deliberately and with a full knowledge of
the facts sacrificed this potential factor in
her growth and progress to secure Hogg
and a railway commission. They got what
they desired, but at q fearful cost Es-
puela Bulletin.
Stuff! Hogg and the railway COM
mission have no more to do with the
building or the BODYBUILDING of the AL
buquerque than they haye to do with
the changes of the moon. The fnan-
cial stringency, owing its beginning to
the failure OF the Earrings, and closing
the money centers OF the East, delayed
the building of the Albuquerque road.
Unless it can be shown that "Hogg and
a commission" are responsible for the
Earrings failure, it will be hard to c,.n-
meet the cessation of work on the Albu-
querque with the governor and the
commission

to realize the fact There is stream of
humanity constantly flowing from the farm
to the town, and the isolation of the farm Is
largely the cause of it. This subject is one
deserving the serious consideration of
statesmen, and but for politicians in Texas
this state might now have i local option
road law that would enable any county to
have at once highways passaoIe in all sea-
sons. 1t is a subject that Will not always
down at the bidding of politicians. So
strong hold has it taken upon the public
mind that a road congress has been called.
and at the opening of the Raleigh exposi-
ton the editor of the Charleston World
dwelt in his speech upon the need of good
roads, now becoming so apparent. I'VE
have the worst country roaiis in the uni
verse" said he; and the lack of easy means
of communication over wagons, he thought,
has led to that isolation and want of inter-
course among the Southern people which is
so necessary part of material and social
progress. There can be but little hope for
the agricultural South until this prime de-
feet is remedied

DIAMONDS AND LEGISLATION.

The New York Herald devotes a
chapter to diamonds, and gives the
opinion of large dealer in those
precious stones that the women OF
America own and wear 100000 ,00O
worth CT diamonds. Some of the
largest owners of the glittering gems
are singled out for special mention.
Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt owns So, 600, 900
worth of them, and the Astor family
jewels are not less valuable.s The
women may be counted by the score in
New York whose wealth in diamonds
exceeds 100000. The display at a
fashionable gathering of these princes
of the New World is not equaled at any
gathering of royalty in the European
capitals.
The possession of diamonds is in
dicative OF good taste. They are safe
investments, for they are as saleable as
gold. But-they excite discomfort.
There are probably thousands of people
in New York who think nothing of the
great wealth of the Astors and the
Vanderbilts, though they know that
these men control hundreds of millions.
But when they read of the diamonds
worn by the wives of the many-million-
aires, representing so many millions,
discomfort and defiance are brought up.
1t is the vain parade of wealth, not its
actual existence and potency, that men
complain Of.
This talk about plutocracy, al
though idle and often splenetic, is not
altogether senseless. There is a plu-
tocracy. 1t not only exists, but it is
growing in numbers and in power. 1t
creates antagonism and arouses resent
ments. This feeling of antagonism and
resentment expresses itself in legisla-
ton, and often in foolish legislation
such as the alien land law. The many
who are not rich have votes, and with
these votes they strike at the few who
are rich. And as diamonds are the
most visible and, to the multitude, the
most offensive evidence of this wealth,
we may say that diamonds exercise a
disastrous effect upon the legislation OF
the country-sometimes for the wealth
of the country, but often against it.

A Stirring Episode Recalled.

There died a few days since, in South
ern city, retired naval officer
whose name, thirty years ago, filed
dicator of the dignities and rights Of
American citizenship. His death, at ripe
old age, recalls one of the most stirring
and impressive incidents of American his
tory. Martin koszta, q native of Hungary,
after residing two years in the United
States and declaring his intention of be-
coming an American citizen, in 1853 visited
Smyrna on business, intending to return
soon. IL the month of June of that year
he was seized by the Austrian authorities
and placed in confinement on an Austrian
ship, on the ground that he still owed mill
tary allegiance to that government
He protested that he was an American
citizen, but he possessed no passport, no
evidence Of citizenship; the only basis of his
claim being the courts certificate that he
had declared his intention Having been
born an Austrian subject and shared in the
rising in Hungary, the Austrians were in
no mood to listen to his appeals; having
him in their clutch, they meant to hold
him. just in the height of the excitement
over his seizure Capt. Duncan n. Ingraham,
commanding the American ship-Of-war St.
Louis, arrived in the port of Smyrna. The
facts in the case were brought to his atten-
ton, and he Immediately demanded the re-
lease of the prisoner.E The demand was dis
regarded. Thereupon Capt. 1ngraham adj
dressed communication to the charge
d'affaires of the United States in CONSTANT
nople, stating the facts and asking an early
decision as to his duty in the premises.
Meanwhile Captain Ingraham worked his
way into the inner harbor and with shotted
guns anchored under the stern of the
Hussa, on which Koszta was still held in
confinement, at the same time notifying the
commander of that vessel that the prisoner
must be held untouched and within reach
until an answer came from Coustantinople
In addition to the Hussa there were five
other Austrian vessels in the harbor. the
entire feet numbering thirty-three guns
and five hundred and fifty three men. The
armament Of the ST. Louis consisted of
twenty guns with two hundred and twenty
men.
Some ten days passed, when the reply
came from the diplomatic representative at
Constantinople embodying the official
opinion that Koszta was entitled to Anne
rican protection. A peremptory final de-
mand was thereupon made for the Surrender.
accompanied by the statement that unless
ne was delivered within eight hours
Captain 1ngraham would bonn bard the city,
and taxa the prisoner by farca Tia ST.

HARRISON advised the Republican
managers to make the fight on his
administration, which he claimed had
stood between the mine owners with
their free coinage bill and the COM
mercial interests of New York, and
had given them the reciprocity clause
IN the new tariff bill to widen their
trade. Instead of that the Republi-
cans fought the Tammany tiger as an
issue ard Mr.. Tiger clawed the very
life out OF them. We believe that for
once Mr.. Harrison's head was level,
but the tiger with all his stripes was
injected into the campaign before the
barons of Wall street were even asked
for money TO assist the campaign.

Governor Hogg and Mobocracy.
FORT WORTH, TEX, Nov. 5, 1891
Editor Gazette.

Editor Gazette.
Please allow me space to express my sin
cere and heartfelt thanks to Governor Hogg
for his timely and valuable letter to the
sheriff of Cass county. l am sure all good
and patriotic citizens Of the state will coin
eide with me in approaching the noble.
patriotic, philanthropic sentiments so well
and eloqueutly expressed in that letter.
The many cases Of mob rule which have
occurred throughout our country during
the last few years have filled the law
abiding people with fear lest our govern
ment should prove failure, and the indif-
ference and apathy of the executive officers
of states and counties where mobs have
overcome and defied the laws. have filed
the minds of thoughtful men with appre-
tensions Of danger. 1t is alarming and dis
couraging to hear people of intelligence,
in high places, speak lightly
and sometimes approvingly-of mobs
and justify their murders.
But the noble sentiments and undaunted
determination to execute the laws, as ex-
pressed in Governor Hogg's letter, revive
our hopes.
Let all officers OF the law follow his
worthy example, and the reign of Judge
Lynch will soon come to an end.
But it is also the duty of the people to
encourage the officers and incite them to
perform their duties fearIessly and
and never, under any circum-
stances, to encourage nor approve of MODS.
We have government and laws, and if
the people will respect the government, and
the officers will faithfully execute the laws,
we will not need the interference of Judge
Lynch, and We will have no more mobs.
Let US all support the governor to the ex-
tent OF our ability. j. NJ. BROWN.
