Govern RI $. lIogg, Austin, Texas
DEAR line hrst canvass you
made was almost extensively upon the
railroad commission idea, and WIS
sustained by the farmers alliance of
Texas. The great feature OF this
campai Il was 10 establish commits
sion that would place the railroad
corporations and the citizens Of the
sta t on terms of equity and justice
with each other so tar rs the business
transactions of the corporations and
people were concerned. In your can
vass you represented this idea with
great force in all your speeches. Y our
position on this question aud the will
OF the people, was almost unit; for |
suppose history has rarely furnished a
campaign for the high Office OF COVER
nor in which any mao was so unani
mously elected as you was. You had
next to no opposition, for the express
sion of your speeches and the will OF
the people was the same. AT the
San antonio convention ex Senator
Chiffon truthtully SAID you occupied
political height thai was dangerous
a fall meant death.
Your first weakness was made
manifest in that convention, by &C
cepupg platform at variance with
every principle of the farmers ALL
ance, al organization that had
sustained your canvass with all the
power AID vigor it could exert. This
at produced a chilhness among your
friends, but it was not sufficient to
cause an outbreak with them. Never
theless 1t caused thousands OF your
warmest friends and supporters to
doubt your sincerity in reference to
brldliug the railroad corporations.
Notwithstanding this apparent want
of sincerity the alliance still sustained
and voted for you Your election
was an overwhelming success, and
YOU went into Office with almost the
lu!l confidence of the people. 1t Is
true, there was a considerable element
that mad not forgotten the san Anto
ready to fall out of line whenever any
act of yours should convince them OF
your iuslucerity. 1t was hot long
before tins opportunity was offered oy
you in the appointment Of your railroad
commission. The Hon. ex- Senator
Reagan, the author of the interstate
commerce bill, being al AS head
Everyone familiar with the working OF

THE OPEN SWITCH.
AN ESTABLISHED SAFEGUARD

An ESTABEISHED SAFEGUARD.
Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by "an open switch" 1t is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread of the
traveller. Its yictims-killed, horribly man.
gled or manned for life-are numbered by
the score each year.
Yeteven the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
1t is Heart Diseased "But," you reply, con-
fidently, III haven't any heart disease-my
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
DIR. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders Of the heart are as common as those Of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsupported. The reason peo-
pie are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
fluttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, your heart IS affected.
81 had been troubled with heart disease
for years. My left pulse was very weak, could
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart, and fear Of
impending death stared me in the face for
hours Dr. Miles Nervine and New Heart
Cure are the only medicines that have proved
ofany benefit and cured mel. M. DYER,
Cloverdale, Nd.
"My wife has been taking DR.. Miles Nec
Cure for the Heart She thinks itwonderhl l.
She has not been troubled with pain or
smothering spells since using it. We have
also used DR.. Miles Pills, and we find them
all they are claimed to he."-GEO. L. FINK,
Philadelphia, Pa.
These and hundreds of similar testimo-
malls are convincing proofs of the wonderful
powers of DR.. Miles New Cure for tie Heart.

EcKLEs AT WORK.

The comptroller of the currency has
just published a statement Of the con-
ditlon of the national banks doing bus
mess In New York City which is very
encouraging. statements from these
banks were called for on the Sd inst,
and on that date the reserve held was
3517 per cent as against $3.50 per cent
on July IL. This Is O. very satisfactory
gain, and proves that in spite of un-
favorable conditions, which still exist
the financial situation shows signs Of
Improvement The gold coin, gold
treasury certificates and gold clearing
house certificates aggregated $50, 600, 900
as against $5O,OOOOOO on July 12. The
gold lcoin increased 100000 900. The
enormous business done by these banks
is indicated by the deposits as given
in this statement, the aggregate Of
which is $249, 100000 gain of $2,SOO, 900
over the last report.
The history Of New York banks dur
ing the recent panic has been credita-
BILE in every way Much has been done
by them to prevent further disaster
by maintaining credit and assisting SOL
vent enterprises These institutions
are condemned by rural statesmen, but
such condemnation is as silly as It is
unjust. A still further improvement
viii be witnessed when the endless be-
bate now In progress at Washington
Is brought to close, and financial
policy is adopted which bankers can
count upon as a basis for future oper-
t.tion. The uncertainty Of the presen,
situation cannot but help work injury
to the banks If 1t IS allowed to continue
much longer. We see CLEAN of hop,
In today's messages, that opens Up q
reasonable prospect Of repeal victory
That 1t will develop into a certain
win be the earnest prayer of thousan,., i,
OF business men who stand on H.,
verge OF ruin.

There is reason to believe there are
deeper, at least broader, troubles, than
those that relate to money, in the af-
fairs of the nation; that there cannot
be full restoration to prosperous con-
ditions until the manufacturing indus
tries know just how much protection
they are to have, or how little-wheth-
er we are to be under the actual, prac-
tical control of the confederate consti-
tuition. We have not arrived there yet,
but there is slight sense Of relief.
The manufacturers, beholding the in
capabllity of congress, have concluded
that they have a good deal of time
before them; that congress may be de-
pended upon for a few months to do
nothing; that the presidents tariff re-
fern is vague profession, and not to
be realized Immediately. There Is a
slow. painful movement that grows
from this presumption, 1t is not thor
oughly healthy, but 1t is better than
no sign of life, On the chosen ground
of the president, the simplest form Of
the money question, his followers in
political faith divide and hang them
selves across the fence, and the senate
is used as stumbling block. Demo-
cratic leaders hesitate and prevaricate,
stumble and humble, over the question
whether 1t is safe to do anything. Is
this failure, or what?
