The Austin correspondent Of a Dali
las paper intimates that the activity Of
the railroad commission at this time
may be ascribable to the fact that this
is campaign year and that honorable
body is attempting to court favor with
the people In the hope OF election. Such
an assumption must seem most vio-
lent one and directly at variance with
the facts as they appear to all fair
minded people who have no reason to
distort the facts At least two mem
bers Of the commission have announced
their Intended retirement az the end OF
their present term, and while the hope
Is very generally expressed that they
may be induced to change that deter
mination, few are base enough to as
cribe personal interest to the dicharge
OF their official Functions.
The personnel . the Texas railroad
commission is of 200 high and honor
able character for the honesty of their
actions to be called into question.
Take for Illustration the honored and
venerable chairman, the most adverse
criticism that cal be attached to his
long and useful career is that his life
has beon so thoroughly devoted to the
interests OF the masses that he has
been kept continually In harness. AS
n patriot and statesman his reputation
Is national. Can anyone doubt the In
tegrlty OF John IT. Reagan Is there
anything In the past life and eminent
SERVICES Of Judge N. A. Str1man that
will warrant the casting of such
stigma on his actions In the sworn dis
charge OF an official duty? Can any
thing be found In the life and public
services OF l.. ]. Storey 20 warrant a
similar accusatlon7
There can be but one motive for all
this. and that must be to far the little
flame of opposition to the commission,
which had virtually died out, In the
hope OF injecting something of the
old issues into the impending cam
pairn.

NEW DEPOT AT GALVESTON.
A s26O,O0O Building to he Erected
Down There.

While the people OF Fort Worth are
hoping and praying that work Will
soon begin on their promised new union
depot, information comes from Calves
ton that It has been definitely deter
mined by the Santa Fe people to build
S250.o00.
II seems the only existing hitch in
the proceedings down there was a dis
pute Of $4,000 In the value OF the iocn-
ton desired for the building. A knowl-
edge n thls fact came to the ears of
the Galveston chamber OF commerce,
which appointed committee to raise
the $4,000, which was soon done and
that amount paid by Galveston citizens
tn the owner of the site In contention.
This is said to insure the building and
work Is to begin at once.
When this Is contrasted with the
sItration here II is not at all pleasant
10 Fort Worth people. Conditions here
have seemed most favorable for EARLY
action, that would insure n handsome
and needed dapot. But there seems to
be n hitch somewhere. which seems
difficrlt NJ loration.

PASSENGER MATTERS.
How the situation at st. Louis Is
Viewed Here.

The announcement made yesterday
In st. Louis advlces that the Cotton
Belt had withdrawn Its notice of leav-
ing the Southwestern Passenger asso-
citation. was received here as mean
ing a probable adJusi ment of the
troubles that seem to beset the South
western passenger committee.
Local Cotton Belt people say the
strued as yielding anything in the
matter in controversy, but rather
desire to afford ample opportunity for
decision ms to the Justice of their
claims without any appearance of a
disposition to force measures While
the demands OF the Cotton Belt have
been submitted to the consideration OF
"A special committee, there is no fore
shadowlng the action OF that body. A
local passenger man said yesterday
that the Cotton Belt would not carry
their point, and he considered the sit
uatlon yet a very grave one.
THE other lines cannot Afford he
said. "to rob themselves OF business
by thus placing premium on bust
ness to 20 over the Cotton Belt. The
idea IL perfectly absurd"
And yet II is generally believed that
the only method OF averting trouble
Ia to accede In some measure to the
Cotton Belts terms. At any rate 1t
looks as II trouble will ensue In either
event. and II will require the finest
OF handling to bring the complicated
affairs that exist into a state that
will be acceptable to all interests Fur
Their advices from st. Louis are
awaited with much interest

Oueer Experience nt sea.

Alice, which reached Portland, Me-,

The bark carried II cargo of salt, and she
had been out but day when it was
found that tie salt had soaked through
into the water butts and every drop of
fresh water was spoiled. The captain
hoisted signals of distress and made
provisions for condensing water, but
,rll he could do was to provide half a
cupful a day for each man. 1t was
seven days before a vessel was sighted
and small supply of water secured.
