THE BORDER FARCE.

1t seems from yesterdays dis
patches that there are mutterlngs OF
discomfort out on the border because
Governor Hogg does not line the
hither bank of the Rio Grande with
State Rangers and "put quietus TO
this disgraceful state Of affairs" Inc
Mexican government has six thou
sand picked men on the other side, 1t
appears, while the United States mas
only six hundred on this side. III
does appear that there is little dis
crepancy here, and that while MeXi-
co.'s arrangements for keeping CARA
out of her territory are very thorough,
the dance through the chapparal has
fallen entirely to the boys on Texas
soil. But far from thinking that
Governor Hogg should order out more
troops, The STATESMAN believes
that the government should exercise
a little common sense and call every
man home. 1t has been stated re-
peatedly that Cara and his men are
committing no depredations. They
are not raiding ranches, or Kill
ing cattle, or stealing horses. They
are buying what they want, and pay
ing for it.. Then why, in the name OF
common sense, should the United
States or Texas exercise themselves
greatly over the matter? True, it
would seem that Cara is violating
the neutrality laws in organizing on
Texas soil revolution against a
power friendly to the United States;
but even this cannot be true, because
Mexico says it is not true. President
Diaz SAYS that the entire government
is profoundly at peace, and no trouble
at all is anticipated; and the Mexican
consul at Laredo insists that matters
never were SO seraphic as now, ana
Cara would not dare cross into Next
co. It must be acknowledged that
these gentlemen are good authority
on the subject; and this being so, it
strikes THE STATESMAN that the
United States government is making
itself ridiculous. Why does it not
take Mexico at its word, acknowl-
edge that CARA does not dare to
cross into Mexico, that he is doing no
harm on this side, and that he is ter
ribly hard to catch anyhow, and call
its soldiers home? 1t is really time
the farce were ending, and the gov
eminent should either call its men of
or change the complexion of the farce
and make it very serious thing in
deed.

The committee on coinage is evil

every possible source. 1t has called
in Director Leecl of the mint bureau,
and has asked him what he thought
of the free coinage of silver Mr.
Ieech made his statement i'll very
plain terms. He is opposed to free
coinage. He believes that in the event
of the United States adopting free
coinage this country would be made
the dumping ground Of European sill
yer. Several countries of Europe have
adopted the single gold idea, and va
rious Others show a decided leaning in
that direction. If free coinage should
be tried in this country, says Mr.
Leech, those countries would rush
their accumulated silver into the
United States. 1t is well known that
great many prominent statesmen
are opposed to the free coinage meas
ure, and it will scarcely be settled dur
ing this session of congress. 1t is in
every way perplexing question, and
not easily disposed of.

A N1TATORIUlI.

THE STATESMAN is at loss to
know why some shrewd and far-seeipg
business naa Of Austin does not con-
struct natatorium. Similar institu-
tions in Dallas and Waco are coming
money for their proprietors, and are
doing an immense amount of good for
the communities in which they are
located. They have become popular
places of resort for the best people OF
the city; and they are open to none
but respectable people. On 'ladies
day" hundreds of ladies and little
girls meet there, and having once
tasted the delights of the invigorat-
ing plunge and swim they are not to
be kept away. The natatorium, prop
erly managed, becomes part of the
daily life of its patrons, no more to be
neglected than the morning paper and
the cup of coffee. Not only is such an
institution a fine business investment;
it is boon to the community in the
way of health. From the two-year-
old babies to the grayhaired grand.

and doctors bills melt away before its

edge that natatorium would be a
fine thing for Austin, as well as a pay
ing investment for its owner. 1t will
readily be seen that there could be no
better location for it, as Austin's I'M
equaled water power will supply all
the water needed, and the best and
largest swimming pool in the state
should be part of its outfit. Now THE
STATESMAN would like to hear from
some man or company.ssof men, who
will take this matter in hand and get

THE DECIMAL POINT.

1t has been ascertained that there
is in the United States about $24.5(
per capita in circulation. AS to the
amount each man actually has, it all
depends on the situation Of the deci-
NAL point. Some men, by boarding
up their per capita carefully, have
jolted the decimal point away over to
one side, thus: $245,OOO, 100000. 9th
ers have hustled around for a good
many years, and have at last sue
ceeded in acquiring a hank account
like this: $4,000 And still others,
alas, prominent among whom are
newspaper men, have toiled without
ceasing, and at last the sum total of
their possessions amounts to this:

upon mankind by this imp of deci-

THE Galveston News quotes and
makes grim comment:

HE OdlVeSIOu NeNS DdoVCo civ
makes grim comment:
A news item from TimpsOn says
"a young man named Joseph f.
Shields was taken from his home last
night by a mob of three or four and
carried about three-quarters of mile
and hanged. No clue as yet to the
parties The correspondent is not
absolutely accurate as the number OF
citizens engaged, but appears to be
sure there were "three or four" of
them. 1t is respectfully suggested
that Governor Hogg in his call for a
special session should recommend that
the size and quality of lynching par
ties shall be fixed by law. Let it be
provided that no less than six nor
more than six hundred shall join in
the execution Of any single unpro-
tected prisoner, and that every one of
them shall be gentleman and a
scholar with spurs.
Good advice, but the News should
make some distinction between a com
munity of Infatuated men visiting
swift justice upon the murderer of
helpless woman and children and the
murderers who hanged this young
man to crafty some private and per-
sonal animosity.

THE AMENDMENT WI1HDRA WN,
The fight over the lottery amend
ment in Louisiana is at an end. John
A. Morris has Withdrawn the revenue
amendment which offered 81 ,25O, 900 to
the state for a pcrpetuation of the lot
terry for period Of twenty-five years
He says that he takes this step by
reason of the increasing hostility to
the lottery throughout the Union.
Louisiana has reason to thank her
sister states for having taken such a
stand. While pretending to pour
money into her Golfers it has been
systematically robbing her by draw
ing the poor wages of poorer men and
women into its own bank accounts.
There was little hope that Louisiana
would ever have been able to make
the fight against it alone, but public
sentiment has at last grown too
strong. 1t is to be hoped that the
late decision of the supreme court will
make it impossible to start another
lottery business in the United States,
and that check will be put upon the
selling of lottery tickets by agents.
Let the whole infamous business be
WiDcd out.

tons. In a general sense reasonable
rates might be said to be fair COM
pensation for the service the railroad
company performs. TO speak more
specifically and determine the reas on
ableness of a rate for a haul of 3, 10,
so or 100 miles, "a correcG answer
to the question would depend upon
variety of circumstances. What
would be a reasonable rate on one rail-
road might be unreasonable on an
other, either from being excessive or
inadequate according to the condition
of the railroad over which freight is
transported. Considering all the
various circumstances surrounding
transportation, average rates must be
fixed, and rates which on an av erage
will enable railroads and shippers
alike to receive fair compensation
for their services would be regarded
reasonable. On this question the rail-
roads and shippers disagree. Here
tofore the railroad companies have
been the sole arbiters of all these
questions, but the state has created a

San Francisco parties have about

chase the Hiawatha claim on Grouse
Mountain. The claim is owned by
Ben Morrow, Of Bonner's Ferry, and
JAS. Rutherford and T. O'Brien, Of
Spokane. The price agreed upon
is $4,000. This is considered a
very low figure, as the Hiawatha is
one of the finest properties on the
mountain, but the parties selling
also own several other promising
claims, and are anxious to get cap

The Hunters Return.

William Ainsley, Mr.. Coolridge,
the Colfax banker, and H. Hol-
lingsworth, also of Colfax, returned
Friday last from a ten days hunt
ing trip up the Yahk. The party
experienced pretty rough weather
while out, but report the finding of
lots of game and of having good
time. They went especially after
Cariboo, but failed to find any, the
cariboo having left the Yahk and
Moyea meadows for their winter
range. 1t is popularity Of these
animals that they winter among
the highest peaks Of the mountain
ranges.
Mr.. Ainsley says that deer was
never so plentiful. They could
have killed scores more than they
wanted. All kinds Of small game
was plentiful. Fishing was fine.
Mr.. Coolridge, while riding along
the banks of the Yahk one evening,
threw out his line and caught trout
enough for supper for the entire
party without dismounting from
his horse. He was very much
pleased with the trip and will re
4 turn next summer.
