How Control Work.

Texas has been experimenting with
a rather expensive State appendage
known as the Railway Commission for
several years, and results are by no
means satisfactory. The fact that this
machine was rigged wrong in the be-
ginning is now quite apparent 1t was
hoped that through the instrumentality
OF commission the people would be
relieved of much of the tax upon their
industries, which was being consumed
by the internal corporations" This
hope has never been realized. We are
paying more to-day for transportation
than We did twenty years ago, when
railroads were comparatively unknown
in this country. AS proof of the injus-
tice and discrimination practiced upon
us compare rates paid here in Texas
on cotton shipments with those of less
favored States. Georgia has less rail-
road mileage than Texas and raises
considerably less cotton, yet the aver
age freight rate paid on cotton in Geor-
gia for 14O miles and over is 1.91 cents.
while Texas is forced to pay 295 for
like service. Even little South Caro-
lima, with her $500 miles of railway,
gets LII cents better rate than Texas
with her 10000 miles.
The magnificent corn crop of Texas
last year is lying in bins and barns
being eaten up by weevils and other
vermin because Of the confiscatory
freight rates to the seaboard-and the
monumental stupidity and ineficiency
OF the majority of the present State
Commission. The fact is, the Commits
sion "as it is" is a kind of political
infirmary in which are ensconced two
superannuated gentlemen-one being
over eighty years of age and the other
far past the years Of mental activity
and one, live, energetic, efficient offi-
Ger; but one man can not do the work
Of three; hence the failure II Texas
is ever to be benefited by her railroad
commission, she must place on it men
of practical railroad experience and
skill in handling details; men in the
prime of mental vigor: men who
have the interest of the common people
at heart; men who cannot be sweryed
from justice and right, though the
heavens fall. Has Texas such menu

both in conventions and at tkespollS?
1t is In the hope that the masses ard
the remaining conventions will have
the courage and the generosity to
unite for this purpose that we have
dared to offer our views to the people
of the United States, and because in
the past there has lacked a rallying
point for the masses who hold as we
do to this belief, we venture to act,
trusting that it will be received in the
same spirit of conciliation, concession
and hope with which we put it forth
'We have endeavored in a plain
way to set the matter before the eyes
of our fellow citizens We invoke
the union of all men and all parties
who believe that the time has come
for the triumph of justice. It is an
hour when the people may speak for
themselves as individuals and through
conventions yet to be held. It is the
right of every citizen to Indicate his
preference.
SENATOR TELLER'S NAME PRESENTED.
with this in view, we offer to the
forthcoming conventions and to the
people the name of man for the
presidency of the United States whose
life in public and in private repre-
sents those distinguished virtues
which adorned the days and the deeds
OF the earlier time of this republic, a
return to which virtues is requisite
for the prosperity and contentment
OF the people and the perpetu-
ity and commanding example of
nee institutions. That name is
Henry M. Teller, man of the people
and for the people. He is of no sec
tion. His experience and service, his
devotion to the common justice and
the common cause of his fellow citi-
zens has been as wide as the country.
We believe that the people OF the
United States have him in their hearts
as he has had their interests in his
purpose through all the work of an
exalted life.
1T is not merely as the exponent of
monetary reform that we present
this man to the people,. 1t is true that
he has waged mighty war for the
restorrtion of the money of the con-
stitution, and his name has been iden-
titled as that of no other living man
with this great cause. But had his SER
vices been less demanded and less no.
ticed in this direction, the people would
still have recognized in him for other
labors statesman of the purest type
His only poverty has been that of
purse. In all things else-in the gen.
erosities of man to man, in kindliness
of deeds for his fellows and in the
study and the doings of a mighty
career, he has been one of the most
opulent American citizens of any age.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 2O-The fact
that Senator Pettigrew of South
Dakota joined the silver Republicans
in their bolt of the convention proved
the surprise of the day. He said after
leaving the hall that he had formed
the determination to join this move
ment several weeks ago, and as soon
as it became apparent that a gold
Standard plank would be adopted.
however, kept his intentions so
wvu to himself that not even his fell
low-delegates from South Dakota
were aware of them and looked as
much surprised as did others when
the Senator's name as one of the com.
mittee who signed the protest read in
the convention was announced.

III order to obtain a more thorough

Danish camp, where he was introduced
to Guthrun and was invited to a BAN

dotes and spoke in such a humorous
way that the army was sorry to see him
