Railroad Men Interested in the Outcome Of
the Approaching Meeting

CHICAGO, H., May 5.-The outcome OF
the meeting to be held in New York tomor-
row by the Advisory board of the Western
Traffic Association will be awaited with
much interest by railroad men. 1t is I'M
derstood that the presidents will give con-
sideration to various propositions and plans
designed to strengthen the agreement and
put the organization on fairer footing.
There seems to be no doubt that Gould
will make another attempt to secure the
adoption of pet scheme of establishing join
agencies. In fact it is general known that
unless something of this kind is done there
will be no further use in trying to keep the
association alive, as There is really no ex-
cuse for its continued existence in its pres
ent form. The belief no longer prevails
that the Missouri Pacific will be disciplined
or harsh y criticized for reducing the sugar
tariff in violation of its agreement. The
prediction Of such men as Marvin Hughitt
and other western officials that the meeting
will be peaceful and harmonious indicates
that the competitors of the Missouri Pacific
have cooled down and will do nothIug to
rutfis MIR. Gould's feathers.

THE NEW COURT,

Yesterday mornings STATESMAN
contained the text of the law creating
the new district court out of Travis
county in addition to the district
composed of Travis and Williamson.
A review of the law shows that the
district court under Judge Keys is to
be known as the TWEEN ty-sixth, and
its regular terms will commence the
first Mondays in March, May and o.,
tober, and will have grand juries for
the May and October terms only, I'M
less the judge deems necessary to have
a grand jury for the October term also.
The new district under Judge Rob
ertson is known as the Fifty-third its
terms commence the first Mondays in
January, April, September and No
vember, and ithas no grand juries un.
less deemed expedient by the Judge.
Special provision is made in the law
for holding the initial term of this
court in May, which explains its being
now in session.
The law further provides that either
of the courts may make an order
transferring cases to the other, and
taking advantage of that provision
Judge Key has already made liberal
transfers, starting Judge Robertson off
last Monday with sixty cases.
In the option of the judges, petit
juries may be dispensed with in the
March, April and November terms.
Now that this law has gone into eff
feet it may be of interest to look into
its history and the causes leading to
its creation.
In the first place it has long been
patent that the Twenty-sixth was
overcrowded and relief must be had
by some means. Then the law ere.
ating the railroad commission pro
Vides that all litigation growing out of
or arising under operation Of the com.

will be considerable work of

Piece of Criminal Corruption.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 5.-When the
gubernatorial campaign was on in Ala
bama last year The Advertiser, the Demo-
cratic organ of the state, waged savage war
fare against the commissioner of agricul.
ture, K. F. Kulb, Who was the Alliance can
dldate for governor. The commissioner
was charged with sending false bills of ex.
pense to the state. Certified COPIES of
vouchers were published which showed
that the commissioner had charged nm
tales on railroads over which he had free
passes
one OF the first acts of Gov. Jones upon
assuming office was to instruct Pnblic Eya-
miner Reeves to investigate the whole snb-
lect. The result has been made public.
Examiner Reeves finds the commissioner

reuben Obj, have charged the state with

ONE of the most savage slashes yet
aimed at Parnell, the tottering Irish
leader, was that of the National
Foresters, who in lieu of removing a
bust of the gentleman from the hall
OF the association in Belfast, put it up
at auction and knocked it down to the
highest bidder at tuppence,ha'penny.
II is but few months ago Parnell
was the idolized hero of his people,
and today his adherents appear to be
reduced to handful. Politics is ia
deed wheel which rolls in the mire,
and men ride on the rim thereof. To
day they straddle the top, with the
sunshine all about them-tomorrow
they are in the soup.

through providing for the bringing OF
suit for interest on the purchase
money for school lands, of which there
is somewhat in excess of a half-million
dollars due the state, and which would
have required the bringing OF 3ooO
suits, all returnable to the new court.
The bill passed the senate and died on
the threshold of success in the house.
AS it is, the Fifty-third will have
plenty to do. Justice will proceed
with no laggard step in Travis county.

Russia ceded to the United States 100
miles of high sea along the Behring
sea coast as private fishing grounds,
declaring that Russia had no such
right to cede. The Journal is en-
phatic when it says: moreover, the
pretensions of the United States in this
matter are in absolute contradiction
to the most elementary principles OF
International law" II is more than
evident the Russian bear is anxious to
pull in double harness with the British
lion.

Constipation is disease maker to all hu-
man beings The rich and poor, the old
and young, male and female are its regular
victims. At the bedside the PHYSICIANS
first question is, "how are your bowels?"
This condition has many causes, and leads
to many diseases, as follows: Indigestion,
acid stomach, heartburn, fevers, bilious,
ness, sick headache, torpidity of the liver,
colo, intiammatory diseases, nervousness
loss OF appetite etc, etc These conditions
can all be removed by the use of 'BAILEY's
SALINE ArERIENT," which is q pleasant al d
sparkling purgative, acting speedily and
freely upon the stomach, bowels and liver:

quiets IN fever; never produces PAIN or
nausea,

THE bill passed by the late legisla-
ture amending the law relative to the
Incorporation of towns and villages
for school purposes proves to have
been enrolled with considerable part
of an important section omitted, as
shown in the department news in an
other column. From the law on the
subject it appears that all the mutt
lated portion is nullifed thereby.

OWING to an investigation set on
foot by Governor Jones OF Alabama,
Commissioner Kobe is shown to have

others. The difference between such
rascality and stealing dosen't amount
to hairs breadth.

of undesirable new corners, who il

which countries they are slipped

THE suB-TREAsuRY SCHEME.

The platform adopted by the Ocala
convent ton of the National Alliance
and endorsed by the Waco conference
demands the free and unlimited ccin-
age of silver, the reduction of the
present high protective tariff to a rev.
enue basis, endorsed the doctrine of
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none, the removal of heavy
taxation from the necessaries of life
enforced by the Mckinley law.
Had the National Alliance stopped
here it would have been as goofa
Democratic platform as Mills or Car
Isle could have desired.
But the sub.treasury monstrosity
was adopted by almost unanimous
vote, the four delegates from Texas,
including Mr.. Dixon, voting for it.
The resolution was as follows:
eve demand that the government
shall establish subtreasuries or deposi,
tories in the several states, which
shall loan money direct to the people
at low rate Of interest, not to exceed
2 per cent per annum, on non-perish-
able farm products and also upon real
estate, with proper limitations upon
the quality of land and amount of
money"
Here is where the roads fork, the
democratic party of Texas taking the
road to an honest, good, safe financial
system, the National Alliance the one
leading to financial confusion and the
dangerous quagmlres of initiation.
1t needs but little acumen to say
that the scheme makes the govern
ment practically banking institu-
ton. 1t must lend its paper, and that
paper not based on values legally OBJ
tanned by taxation, the lean being Sc
cured by cotton, corn, rye, oats, or
real estate.
1t is true the proposition is to limit
the issue of money and the amount of
real estate. But where could this limit
be placed? One farmer in Polk |
county has as good a right to
demand government notes on his
land as the ag iculturist in Travis
or Hays counties. The attempt to
limit could not but involve the whole
thing in insxtricable confusion. To
apportion the quantity of land each
man, might tender as security would
be task even more hopeless.
1.-THE resolution does not restrict the
amount OF corn, cotton, rye or oats,
meal, or -four that is to be ware
housed by the government as secu-
rity for its 2 per cent loan. Presum-
ably the farmer can unload all of these
products on Uncle Sam, and pocket
"iat money" for the same.
The absurdity of the whole scheme
is so glaring that when the rank and
file of the Alliance men of Texas come
to investigate it, not bakers dozen
of them will quit the Democracy to
follow after this new and ridiculous
idol. Such policy even if constitu-
tional, which it is not, would aggre-
vate the very evils it is ostensibly de-
signed to cure, and by variable inha-
ton double the woes of the man with
the hoe and involve the rest of the
country with him.

THE DIFFERENCE.

l
When President Harrison passed
through the south on his recent tour
| each state as he entered its borders
sent its governor to meet and welcome
him az the chief executive OF this great
union of free and equal states.
! When he reached the state OF Ore
pon, however, that courtesy was with
j held, and Governor Penoyer, of that
state, when questioned as to his con-
duct said:
Mr.. Harrison represents in his Off
cial capacity the official power and
dignity of the federal government. l,
as governor OF Oregon, represent the
state of Oregon in the same way. We
are equal. ! have no business to 60
pay homage to him. On the contrary,
when he visits Oregon he should rath-
er pay his respects to me as its official
executive"
Thus the gentleman puts himself in
the attitude of host who retires to
the bed room or the back yard on the
approach of visitors, expecting them
TO root him out OF his seclusion il they
really desire to see him. He has
precedent for his position and good
one too, he says, and he tells what it
is in this language: at happened
under the first administration, when
Washington, while president, visited
Boston. Hancock was then governor
of Massachusetts,, and it was
proposed that he should go to receive
and welcome the greatest man OF the
republic, President George Washing
ton. He fatty refused to do so, He
claimed that the president should
first pay his respects to him, as COVER
nor of Massachusetts,"
In both the ancient and modern
breach of etiquette brought to the at
tention above the great question Of
states rights is set up as the ground
on which the conduct of the govern
ors of the states is based. The indi
vidual rights of the states are recog-
nized just as fully in the south as they
are in the north, but they are recog-
nized as principle, a bright blade to
arm the hand OF liberty and not as an
adjunct to the rules of pollteness, q
rusty sword to be attached to the Off
cial belt of any man who may happen
to be governor Of state, there to IAN
gle as useless appendage over which
he NAV stumble and trip his heels
whenever his awkwardness may lead
him into misstep.
Massachusetts set the example in
the school of states rights by declaring
the right OF any state to secede from
the union and by vOiciug threat to
do so under sufficient provocation.
The south thought it was a good
precedent and adopted it, adhereing to
determination to carry out until
argued out of the idea by Massachu-
sets and few of her neighbors.
Massachusetts set the example in
discourtesy to the union as state
right and it remained for one of the
states which crowds the Canadian
border to follow the precedent.
