Col. Browns Railway Bond BIN

Special to The Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, March 2S.-The action OF
the house to-day in setting aside the text
book bill in order to take up Col. Browns
railway bond bill did not indicate SO much
q desire to adopt the latter as TO hear what
arguments might be produced for and
against IL. Col. Brown spoke very earn
estly in favor of it, the burden of his argu-
ment being the need for some limitation by
the state on the authority of the railway
companies to issue bonds, the interest on
which. and the principal. ultimately would
have to be paid by the people. The bill
provides that no railroad company shall
hereafter make or issue any stock or bonds
for sum greater than 100000 mile unless
when Q greater sum shall be paid for o
road at o judicial sale.
The new company may organize and issue
bonds on such road for the amount of the
money paid in good faith on such purchase
The bonds so issued shall be ratified by the
commission and registered in the comp
troHer's Office, as shall all their bonds here
after issued. Any bonds issued in viola
ton of thelaw shall De void.
Mr.. Gresham's arguments against the
bill were pointed and telling, and made .
strong impression in the house.
Very few members had much acquaint-
ance with the provisions of the bill, and
gave close attention TO the discussion Judg-
ing from the comments of members after
the debate ended it appears that the bill
cannot pass the house in its present shape,
If it can at all.
One member inclined to favor 1t said that
he was opposed to fixing any limit on the
amount of Indebtedness any road may IN
cur. 1t was enough 10 require the roads to
register their bonds and stocks and leave
the amount OF each to their own discretion.
Another member said the bill was too
weighty matter to be considered at q
special session, and thought is should be
laid aside. He thought something should
be done in that line, but had not the
time 10 study his bill
The temper Of the house is rot favorable
70 hasty or i'll advised measures, and can
safely be relieI on TO ignore, what il can
not clearly understand. 1t does not under
stand the full import and significance Of
this bin and for that reason will hardly
agree to it unless nude less rigid There
is no desire among members to hamper
roads. Anything sn aclking of that quality
viii meet opposition.

John Howard, of and for Texas. came

Speaking Of the Panhandle, he said:
'rhe acreage planted in wheat this year
is much larger than that Of last year-in
some counties twice as large. The pros
poets are as good as ever were known at
this time of year. No damage was done by
the late freeze, either to wheat or oats. We
are hoing to have trouble in handling the
crop next year, though the increase in the
-four mills and elevators is such that large
percentage of the wheat will be handled in
the local towns along the line of the rail-
road. Nearly every little town has a mill.
and the larger ones have several. Wichita
Falls is shipping out four or five carloads
Of -four day.
Most of the wheat has been sold of the
farms and the elevators have about enough
to run the mills until the, new crop comes

OUR SILVER POLICY.

Up TO the adjournment of the Brussels
conference it was assumed that the Sher-
man act would be allowed to stand during
the present administration. But the adj
journment OF the conference without re-
suits has changed the face of the silver
situation. The Sherman act was confess
edly an experiment. 1t was hoped by this
means TO sustain the commercial value of
silver until by international agreement a
common ratio could be agreed upon which
wonld permit the free coinage of silver
without dropping to a silver basis. Now
that this hope has disappeared there is no
apparent purpose in continuing cur present.
silver policy. If the United States contin-
ues to buy silver the nations OF Europe will
be no more inclined to agree upon a COM
mon ratio than they were in November.
American gold for European silver and will
probably not tire of this policy while the
United States chooses TO continue il. An
heroic method Of treating this question
would be to quit buying silver and to take
measures TO get back some Of the gold
Europe has drained usof. Silver wonld 60
down with a run. but its fall would con-
vince Europe that something must be done.
There would be present loss in all coun-
tries, but in the end there would be an
arrangement of some kind for the rPmone-
tiZation Of silver. The alternative policy OF
free silver coinage would throw the United
States upon silver basis, with gold for sale
as commodity

GIVE THEFT A FAIR TRIAL.

Commenting upon the reference in Presi-
dent HarTison's recent annual message to
the prosperity of the country under the
protective policy, the New York Herald
said:
The theory OF protection had fun generation
In which TO show what il can do. AT the end OF
IEat time tile merchants and artisans DELHI
erately declared that the results did not equal
their expectations and that tile promises made
b. the protection leaders failed OF fuldllment
The declaration Of the merchants and ar
tisans will be Obeyed. Congress will with
out doubt pass a new tariff bill, in which
protection as feature will be ignored. The
protective tariff advocates require such ac-
ton by Congress 10 less firmly than the
free-trade advocates. But a present deelar-
alton by the people is good only for time.

Congress for two. At the expiration of the
next Presidential term the people may de-
eide that revenue tariff is failure. Re-
publicans do not admit that the theory of
protection failed after thirty years Of trial
to produce satisfactory results. Had
prophet arisen at the close of the war and
predicted the condition of the country IN
der the protective policy twenty-five years
from that date he would have been consid-
cred dreamer. The growth of the country
during that period was without example in
the history of nations. While admitting the
results. the free-tradeTs assert that they
were not produced by the tariff. Enough
voters accepted their conclusions to over
throw the party of protection. But it is
just within the range OF possibility that
much less than quarter of a century will
demonstrate the necessity of a protective
tariff to preserve the industrial conditio on
which the revenue tariff men receive from
their defeated opponents
