The late conflict between bandits and
Mexican soldiers on the Rio Grande
border, followed by the escape of the
former TO the Texas side, is an addition
20 the long list OF incidents which sug-
gest the need for a radical change Of
policy with reference to the Mexican
frontier.
The condition Of things down there
is not to be rnended by diplomacy, nor
by scattering squads Of Federal soldiers.
The Cara campaign illustrated the
case with which the border desperadoes,
residents Of the section and familiar
with every path and hiding place, slip
away from tho heavily accouteredreg
ulars.
To deal efIectually with tho border
bandits, men their equals in cunning,
in knowledge Of the country, and in
desperate courage must be employed.
A dozen good men put upon the trail
and kept there would accomplish more
in twelve months than 1000 soldiers.
The honor, dignity aud peace OF the
state OF Texas are involved in the con
slant irruptions along the Rio Graude.
She has force Of rangor9 which, de-
pleted as theis ranks have been, are ablo
within two or three years to convert
the border into poaceablo and law

THE PRODUCER PAYS THE FREIGHT.
The Introduction OF a bill in the
house Wednesday by Representative
Mcmillan Of Tennessee to legallzo pool
ing by railroads, emphasizes the growth
Of an idea conserving railway MANAGE
meut which has been limited in the
past mainly to the managers Of rail
roads. Tho theory accepted by popular
judgment has been that the ono thing
neediul to the proper adjustment Of
transportation questions was eompeti-
tion, and with that secured, all difficult
ties must come TO an end, Experience
has proved this to be faAacy. II is,
indeed, question now whether com
petition for tho carrying trade be-
yond certain limits, Is bless
ing or curse to the producer.
That every mile Of railroad constructed
through community becomes q tax
upon that community is an evident and
an accepted fact II follows logically
that tho more miles Of railroads built
through community the more tax
that community has TO pay. II may
chance that peculiar conditions will in
some instances shift the burden from
tho shoulders upon which ii belongs to
other shoulders, but this in no way
ects the principle or the general
result Somebody has tho tax to pay,
somebody must pay tho cost Of opera
tion Of each road, even though the
stockholders and bondholders should
have 70 90 without returns,
~ were possible 70 secure equal and
exact justice to all sections and commn-
nities, It's demonstNble that the ideal

San Antonio, Tex, Dec. l5.-lSpe-
cial. THE murder OF Charles Bogart,
a wealthy German farmer living in the
Oak Island neighborhood, fourteen
miles south Of San Antonio, Is still some
what shrouded in mystery, although
the wife Of the deceased Is under sur
VIGILANCE OF deputy sheriff, pending
the result OF the coroners inquest. which
is still in progress. Mrs. Bogart has
told several contradictory stories OF the
murder and the inquest Is progressing
very slowly owing to the fact that she
goes into historical fit whenever the
coroner asks her any pointed questions
concerning the crime, Suspicion is also
directed to brother-in-law of Bogart
as being implicated in the murderas he
is making preparations to leave the

TWO MURDERERS
Under Sentence OIL Death Make Bold
Atenpllo Escape Jail at sher-
man-Carlisle's Skill.

sherman, Tex, Dec, 15.--tSpecial. -
j ~ Carh lo, under sentence OF death
ior the assassination OF w. T. Sherman,
made an effort to escape jail last night,
He was found outside his cell when
caught at his desperate trick by
Warden House who made n demand
Of what he meant, and Carlisle told all.
Carlisle being a blacksmith made key
out OF the end Of a broom handle. He
would notice the notch on the kew
whom the turnkey came to unlock the
cage, and with small wire from
bucket bale bored the hole in the new
instrument Of escape. He said he had
boon ON the lower floor and had ran
back when he heard the wurden ap-
proach. He had many shoe strings
tied together upon which there was
buckle, and instruments have certainly
been slipped into the jail on tho end Of
the string. The new official crew al
the jail were going through diligent
search and this evening found the bars
whera fifteen prisoners are confined
sawed. They were using. steel wire.
Carlisle and Luttrell are both under
sentence of death and John Poo is vet
TO be tried for implication in the same
crime. Those that have been convicted
have been put in the solitary. The iaii
has had many bad characters in il. md
no doubt very bold jail delivery was

In America when a person accus cd Of
