THE rates of interest in Texas
are on the decline. They would
run the downward gamut quicker
if the state did not so discriminate
against foreign capital. 1t is a
little funny that while it does thus
discriminate the state is looking
to foreign capital to re-invest it's
money in Texas bonds at a lower
rate of interest; otherwise there
will be delay in the payment of
interest due.

THE experiments in feeding pigs
on cotton seed in any form do not
show that there is any good re-
suits from such feeding, either to
growing pigs or to hogs that are
being fattened. The experiments
do show that there is considerable
danger in this feed for pigs of any
age or breed.

THAT Nicaragua canal scheme
Jared as poorly at the hands of the
national congress as an apprOpria-
ton for a Texas exhibit at the
Worlds fair at the hands of the
state Legislature. This is not
creditable to the wisdom or the
patriotism of congress. That
canal will revOlutiOnize the carry
ing trade of the Western Hemis-
phere and it is not to the interest of
this government to allow control
of that work to pass into any
hands but its own, and the OppOr-
tunity to gain control Of it should
not be lost.

ST LOUIS needs a free public
library and the city will find it the
best investment that she has made
in many years. The people voted
on the proposition yesterday, but
the returns are not known at this
writing. Every investment made
in the interest of increased intelli-
gence on the part Of any people
will bring magnificent returns.
Like money put out at compound
interest it doubles the original
capital before the investors have
even thought of reaping any sub
stantial profit.

WHEN the Laredo Times asserts
that a steal of 100000 has been
discovered in the pension office it
monkeys with the truth just as
Ananias did. There has been no
steal. The department has paid
out money for the burial of the
widows and orphans of dead SOL
diers, these widows and orphans
being at the time of their death
pensioners of the government, and
it is now stated that the interpre-
tatiOnS of law by which these pay
mentS have been made are not
justified under a strict cOnStruC-
ton of the pension regulations.
The man who as editor of a news
paper would attempt to mislead
the public to believe that some one
had stolen 100000 pension
money on such a showing as this
may be a first class partisan, but

him as an ornament to truthful
society.

age of law fixing the pay of legis-
