BREWERY RATES.
COMMISSIONER FOSTER HAS
SOMETHING TO SAY
In Regard to the Matter-If the Rate has
Been Raised it is in Violation of
the Commission Law.

Hon. Il Foster, state railroad COM
missioner, who passed Saturday night IN
the city, left for Colorado city yesterday
morning. His attention was called to the
interviews with the brewery people in the
Evening Mail of Saturday. and he was
asked for explanation of the cause or
increase in the tariff votes given to the
brewery:
If there has been any increase of rates, J"
said he ''either upon their product or upon
empty kegs returned, it has been in viola
ton of law, and the roads are liable to
heavy penalties for it. Their rates are, or
should be, the same as existed when
the commission law went into
effect. The commission has not yet
touched rates on merchandise, having first
directed its attention to the leading articles
OF Texas production, such as cotton, grain
and lumber The law provides that the
pre-existing rates shall be the controlling
rates until changed by the COM
mission, in order to prevent the
roads from answering a reduction
on one commodity by an increase in the
sion's schedule.
"Whatever complaint the brewery may
have is against the rates made by the loads
themselves, not against commission rates,
for we have made none applying TO them.
'sWhile we have not yet been able to deal
with the question of merchandise, we ad-
vised the brewery that any application by
the roads for a reduction of rates would be
promptly granted. No such application has
| been made That settles the question OF
the good faith of the roads in representing
| that they were anxious to reduce the brew
| cry rates.

Raleigh, n. c., is a paper called the
Gazette, published by one John E. Viii
hanson, colored Williamson is now
out in his paper with a card announcing
himself as candidate for congress on
the following platform: president
Lincoln freely admitted that negro
slaves we're the lawful property OF those
holding them, AMI proposed paying
$500 for each slave, to iberate them
and thus wipe out a cause for the war.
The slaves were not for sale, hence it
became necessity of war to free them
by force. Such necessities have often
arisen in the case OF other species of
property, but the necessity existed only
for the time being. and so'soon as it
had ceased to exist the government
paid for the property taken or de-
stroyed. My platform, therefore, is
that The United States government pay

LOCAL GovERNMENr FOR IRELAND


LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOR IRELAND.
The Salisbury Tory party in Eng
land is plainly on its last legs. The
trend of popular opinion in that coun-
try is clearly in favor of doing some
thing for ireland. To humor that feel
ing Balfour's bill for local self-govern-
ment in the Emerald Isle was prepared
in parliament the other day. Consid-
ering the character of the bill and the
time chosen for its introduction, it was
clearly seen to be an electioneering
dodge, tub thrown to whale. OF
course the Irish members who will be
satisfied with nothing short of home
rule, laughed at the bill and spurned
it contemptuously. Their Liberal al
lies among the English ridicule it I'M
mercifully. The measure of local gov
eminent fixed in the bill is by ho means
what it is in England and Scotland,
where local government has existed
for years. Local government for Ire
land as proposed by Mr.. Balfour bears
about the same relation to local gov
eminent in England that Blaine's re-
ciprocity does to free trade. 1t IS
largely sham. As such, the Irish
want none of it. They prefer to let
things stay as they are until something
better can be had Mr.. Balfour's as
surance in his speech explaining the
bill that it contained no powers that
were liable to abuse at the hands OF the
Irish is proof enough of its worthless
character. To say that measure con-
tains no power liable to abuse is to say
that it is without power. The power
that cannot be abused is no power at
all, and that is the view the opposition
takes of this particular bill 1t is a
picayune device intended to appease
growing public sentiment by making a
show of equality as to local govern
ment between england, Scotland and
ireland. While there is an outward APP
pearance of fairness, the substance OF
it is entirely wanting. 1t is all moon
shine.
The thing most noticeable about this
bill is that it was drawn and submitted
without any reference whatever to the
wishes or opinions OF the Irish mem
bers concerning needed legislation for
their people. In fact, no sort OF at
tention was paid to them in the prem
ises any more than to the sultan, Muley
.Hassan, OF Morocco. Whatever the
ministry does for England or Scotland
is done according to the expressed
wishes of their representatives, who
are presumed to know best the needs
of their people. But when Irish af-
fairs are under consideration the min
istry find out what the Irish members
want and then do something else.
That has been for centuries Eng
lands way of governing ireland. Is it
any wonder that she wants home rule:

THE advertisement by the News that
it will run a special train to Fort
Worth to secure the prompt distribu-
ton of its issues throughout West and
Northwest Texas, is tribute to the
railroad facilities of Fort Worth that
every citizen of this place should be
proud of. THE GAzETTE's trains al
ready run to every point of the com
pass. leaving no further outlet for en-
terprise in that direction. For instance,
THE GAZETTE is delivered in Dallas
as early as the News, and by virtue of
the unequalled railroad facilities Of
Fort Worth it either goes with all
rivals everywhere in its territory, or
ahead OF them. The enterprise OF the
News in seeking equality, which its
location forbids, is to be commended.
1t is a repetition of its enterprise in
Southern Texas; but, alas, despite its
special train to Houston in search Of
an outlet, the Galveston end is no
longer in it. Trunk lines and the Post
have won in Southern Texas, and
trunk lines aud THE GAZETTE are
winning in Northern Texas.

IT is reported from Huron, Cal, that
an organized rain-making combination
has made a contract with the farmers
of that region to supply them with rain
for their wheat crop. If the rain
comes, the combination is to receive
six sacks of wheat to the acre: if not,
then the combination gets nothing for
its valuable services. Since rain
enough for the wheat crops falls at
Huron about three years in every five,
on an average, the rain-making com
bination has a very good thing OF 1t, a
much better thing than the Louisiana
lottery. TIE combination is out moth
ing. and it's chances for being entirely
in are as three to five. When will all
the fools die?

has a postrait of William Ferrel and
short sketch of his life. He was born in
1917 at Bedford Pa, spent his earlier years;
in Berkly county W. Va and was sell
made man. He reached his high position
as a meteorologist by 4 route attended
with difficulty to and over q way thaiiwould
have daunted a less determined man. he
worked without money, without patrons
and almost without books, IN naynelds and
in schOol-rooms he earned the paltry sums
necessary to purchase his aids TO study and
tried TO see his theories OF minds ana Oh
many moOted questions in physics adopted,
His death occurred at haywood, Kan,
September 1891. In speaking OF the lie OF
thisiremarkable man, Professor Davis says.
Many of the problems that he solved bear
only remotely on the lives OF the millions OF IN
marked men from among whom ne won ms way
TO eminence; but all who read OF MN may vi
derstand the lesson Of his courageous perse'
yerence of his earnest work and OF his simple
life. They Will do wei if. even without au0lng
much TO the worlds store, they can say as be
did at the close OF life, Il regret to leave my
friends, but that is all regret

''Moral Educa bility,' takes an optimistic
view of the present outlook for a better
education of mans moral nature. He justly
regards the moral imoeclIe entitled to the
same generous and discriminating care that
modern civilization has taught should be
bestowed upon such as are deficient intel
lectually. The table of contents for the

ing such articles as shall verify the long
established claim of this monthly Of being q
