Despite all that has been said
about outrages in Mexico upon
American citizens, the general tes-
timony Of those intelligent enough
to form an opinion and decent
enough to behave themselves and
with ample opportunities for cor
rect Judgment, is to the effect that
no American in Mexico, who half
behaves himself, is in any danger
of mistreatment. 1t is the man
who is down there for a spec, or
who has an undisguised contempt
for the Mexicans and expresses it
openly, that gets into trouble.
The well behaved American can
go anywhere and see it all and be
safe.

The grand jury is after the soied
doves again. Does this mean that
the county is to fine them for
revenue, take from them a heavy
percentage of their blood money
as black mail and permit them to
run along as usual until another
plucking time comes. This matter
has become a public disgrace to
the county of BeXar. This perse-
cution should cease. If the law is
to be enforced, and it never will be
so long as human nature remains
as it is, enforce it, but cease this
quarterly or monthly raid upon
these unfortunates for the purpose
of supplying some of the county
officers with spending money.

Canada is showing symptoms Of
getting to the end Of her rope. New
Foundland is practically bankrupt
and while it is true that this prov
ince is not included in the aggre
cation that make up the Canadian
Dominion, it is true that she is
one of the British colonies in
America and that her conditions
are not dissimilar from those of
the rest Of those provinces. Onta-
rio is the wealthiest by odds Of all
the provinces, and even she is
hopelessly involved in debt, her
interest unpaid and her principal
increasing. Her revenues do
not meet the current expenses
and the cost of properly main
tanning her waterways is so far
beyond her that she is making
overtures to the United States to
a Ssume control and maintenance
of these highways of traffic from
the upper lakes to the open waters
of the st. Lawrence gulf. What
the upshot of these overtures will
be cannot now be affirmed, but the
fact is itself significant one,
pointing to the day not so far dis
tant when the control of these
northern outlets to the ocean will
be under American control. When
to this is added the ownership and
direction of Nicaragua canal these
United States will hold both ends |
of the string.

Government railway ownership
may be very we'll in theory, but it
is to be seriously doubted if it

The San Antonio Street Railway
company will find out in the end
that the district court OF this city
has few rights that it is bound to
respect. After running rough shod
over every ordinance and acting as
though it owned the city in fee
simple it does the average citizen
good to see that at least one of the
courts does not intend to be bull
dozed by that street car company.
When the city council takes the
same view of the situation and de-
crees all carrying companies on
the same footing it will be better
for the public.

One of the greatest Of mistakes
that can be made in considering
the needs and beneficial changes
demanded by the South, is to
predicate these upon her old time
conditions instead OF upon her
present presentments of advan-
tage and opportunity. Heretofore
all that could minister to the
growth of this cotton land was free
trade and cheap foreign goods. To-
day it is protection for her manu-
features as the condition precedent
to making her the great manufac-
turing center OF the Nation. No
policy, industrial or political, that
loses sight of this radical change
in her conditions can work out
the salvation Of this South land.
She is best placed of all
other sections for cheap manufac-
ture, and if this advantage were
made the most OF it would so in
crease the number of operatives on
her soil as to double the require
ments of agricultural production
for their support. thus giving to the

Whatever Texas does or does not
do in the matter Of taxation and
revenue, she cannot afford to
adopt any course that will impair
her credit either at home or abroad.
She must pay her debts, or secure
an extension of the big ones and
promptly meet the little ones, those
especially due to her clerks, teach
ers, professors and others OF that
class. Far better to double the
present taxation as dernier resort
than to leave the meager salaries
of her servants unpaid. Then
when these obligations are met let
her retrench, collect her revenue
closely as a business corporation
should and conduct her opera
tions in the future on a sensible
plan. Government business is like
all other, it must be managed in
wisdom and not in foolishness OF
it will ruin the people who elect
foolishness to office in the vain ex,
pectation that it will act wisely
There is more Grass unwisdom in
our political methods than would
swamp the richest corporation in
the country in one term OF office
So long as men without any bust
ness qualities are elected to dc
large business for the state the
end must be inevitable disaster.

There is a decided tendency to
discredit the governments of Aus
tria, Hungary, Italy and Turkey on
the part of the people of those
countries and the disruption of
their cabinets may be expected at
any time. Austria is in trouble be-
cause her premier will not consent
to universal suffrage; Crispi is as
obnoxious as it is possible for a
government head to be, for his
course has been exceedingly arbi-
trary; the Hungarian minister is
in disfavor with the emperor; and,
Turkey is in her chronic condition
Of general debility, with half a
dozen nations ready to administer
on her estate. Things appear to be
in very much the same condition
in the United States, where the
party in power has been repudiated
by the people, and where the ut
most distrust OF Congress is visible
on every hand. The world seems
to be growing sick in it's old age, at
least sick Of it's constitutional
rulers,

measure of good to the Nation
that the Republicans will not sup

Where Is the Gas Rsporti---House Has Some
Fun With the Car Fender Matter.

Boston, April 1.-THE committee on
railroads reported against two bills pro-
viding for change In the grads-crossing
abolition law; also against the bill to
regulate demurrage charges by railroad
com panies.
The house amused itself for some time
over an order offered by Mr.. Roberts call
ing upon the board of railroad commits
sioners to look into the subject of tenders
for electric cars and report to the next
general court. The order was nearly
amended out of existence by mem bers who
were disposed to treat the matter face
tiously and otherwise, but was finally
adopted.
The house passed to be engrossed the
bill authorizing gas and electric light
companies to discontinue service for nom
payment Of charges; the bill to prevent
double taxation of machinery; also bill
providing that gas companies shall not be
allowed to refuse to furnish gas to a
building because Of the fact that a pre-
vious occupant Of building has left un-
paid gas bill.
The house accepted the report OF the
committee on mercantile affairs, which
reported adversely on bill providing for
placing electrical conductors under
ground In cities and for commissioners of
electrical subways
The house y tssed to be engrossed the
bill for the examination and certification
Of schoolteachers by state authority and
providing that the state board of educa-
ton shall cause to be held public exam
nations Of candidates for the position of
teachers in the public schools of the com.
mon wealth: candidates who mass shall be
given certificates, which may be accepted
by school committees In lieu of the per-
sonal examination now required by
statute.
The house adopted an order that the
secretary Of the commonwealth be in
structed to inform the house the reasons
Of the delay in furnishing to the general
court the printed copies of the report of
the board of gas and electric light COM
missioners, said report having been trans
mitted to the state printers Feb. 2s 1t
is understood that the delay is charged
upon the gas commissioners.
The joint committee on judiciary re-
ported against bill to enable manufac-
turing corporations organized under the
laws Of foreign countries to hold and con-
vey real estate In this commonwealth; no
legislation necessary on the annual report
of the attorney general; against bill
making every Saturday from IL noon to
10 midnight a legel half holiday, and
changing the law relative to the presenta-
tion of bills and notes on holidays.
The bill appropriating 100000 for the
maintenance and operation OF the metro
politan sewerage system was brought up
IN the house and passed tn he engrossed.
