LOWE CALLED TO ACCOUNT
And Makes Pretty Fair Answer to
the Call.
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER ACCUSED

of n Violation OF the Sfatufe-POIfti-
cal Notes of Interest i'm Kansas.
State Railroad Commissioner Joseph
G. Lowe is criticised because he ap-
peared before the Kansas court of ap-
peals at Concordia ten days ago as attor-
ney for a railroad company.
The court of appeals docket shows that
J. G. Lowe was attorney for the Chicago,
Burlington 6 Quincy railroad in two
cases from Washington county.
When court convened at Concordia re-
Gently, Railroad Commissioner Lowe ap-
peared in behalf of the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy in one of the cases and the
other case was continued.
According to the state law creating the
board of railroad commissioners, this
was violation of paragraph 1926 gen.
eral statutes of 1899, which reads:
mo person owning any bonds, stocks
or property in any railroad company, or
who is in the employment. or who is in
any way or manner pecuniarily interest
ed in any railroad. shall be eligible to the
Office of railroad commissioner"
When Mr. Lowe appeared as railroad
attorney in the conrt at Concordia sew
eral of the lawyers who were present
called attention to the fact, that it was
seemingly a violation of the law, and, it
is said, that the judges on the bench,
after court adjourned, discussed the pro-
priety of Commissioner Lowe appearing
before them as railroad attorney.
To a STATE JOURNAL reporter this
morning Commissioner Lowe said:
There is nothing in this I ap-
peared before the court in one of
those "a cases which were taken
to the supreme court from Washing
ton county, and were then turned
over to the appellate court. l had sub
mitted my brief in the case two years ago
and when l appeared before the appel
late court at Concordia | said to the court
that l had no argument to make and
simply cited one additional authority.
That was all there was of it. The other
case is in charge of w. F. Guthrie of
Atchison, tbs Kansas attorney of the
Burlington. I never was employed as the
regular attorney of the Burlington or
any other railroad and this was just one
old case l happened to have on hand and
which l supposed was disposed of when
it went to the supreme court two years
ago."

should take special pleasure in seeing was
Copenhagen. Above all, Mr.. Cleveland
said that he couldn't think of visiting Eu-

TEXAS GOING POPULIST.
Democratic Authority Fears That the
Chances Are Favorable.

ST. LOUIS Jan. GA. 7. Wilson, one
of the chiefs in the service of the Gal
weston Dallas News, the most potential
factors in the journalism Of Texas, and
himself a staunch Democrat, brin gs
startling political news from the Lone
Star state.
lin all seriousness I would not be at all
startled if the Populists should sweep
the field in Texas this year'' said Mr.
Wilson. "The growth of the party in
my state has been marvellous. Two
years ago when they had reunited De-
mocracy to face, they polled over 10000
votes. The Democratic majority was
scaled down by them from more than
10000 to a pitiful $4,000 I haven't the
least doubt that they will poll fully $780,
600 votes The total voting strength of
Texas is less than 100000.
THE Republicans are certain to hold
their forces intact, as they always do in
national elections; then granting these
probabilities can't see how it is posi-
BILE for the Democrats to hold the state.
They are going to nominate for govern
or jerome Kirby of Dallas, one of the
most powerful lawyers in the state and
the finest campaigner in the south. as
shown by the extremely close race he
made against Congressman John Abbott
in the last campaign. Kirby is even
more popular and influential than was
the late Judge Nugent, who made all of
us Democrats hold our breath when he
ran against Culberson for governor.

CARELESS TRAINING
Dispositions of Children Spoiled by
ignorant Parents.

1t is astonishing how careless some
parents are respecting the training they
give their children when they are very
young and most impreSsionable Lit is
natural for the infant to cry in order
to attract attention to its needs, but the
watchful parent will SO forestall its
wants that it viii have no occasion to

not what it needs, but very often what

cially in the presence of company. are
likely TO yield to its demands for the
sake of peace. This is a very grave mis-
take, for the habit once established lasts
in modified form through life and is
the parent Of great deal of selfishness.
But the dispositions of children are
spoiled by ignorant and indulgent par
ents in other ways. They set out delib-
erately to arouse in their children a.
jealous disposition.
They offer the peevish child some
thing which, because of his peevish-
ress, he will not take and then they
make a preteXt of giving it to someone
else, that they may induce him to take
it out of envy. The effect of such train
ing may be imagined. After a few such
lessons the child wants only those
things others possess, and during his
Childhood days he generally manages
to get them by crying and sulking.
Grown a little older, the child if a boy
