Europe has a little Cuban affair of
her own on hands in that business in
Crete. The indications are that all
Europe will yet be drawn into that af-
fair, for it is got probable that Tur-
key and Greece will long continue in
their present attitude towards each
other. Should actual hostilities ensue
it is more than likely that forcible
measures will be taken to put a stop
to it. In that case it may be a repe-
tition of the usual history of a dog
fight. The attempt to stop the dogs
usually brings the owners and back
ers of the dogs into the ring and then
there is a general scrimmage.

The one industrial movement of the
past week which has elected the most
interest is the big fight that opens up
between the steel combines. Carnegie
and his millionaire associates, finding
that the inclusion of the smaller con-
Germs in the combine was hampering
them in their colossal steal, sent the
price of rails down to the bottom and
bursted the combine. Upon the heels
of this they were intending the Organi-
cation of combine that would include
every large concern in the country, con-
troll all the iron ranges and furnaces
and hold the steel production of the
country in their grasp. This inten-
ton has led to a combination by the
steel companies of Minnesota and Illi-
nois, which conformity own immense
iron properties. These corporations
will have money and iron lands enough
to put up a very interesting fight
against Carnegie and Rockefeller and
the result will be watched with inter-
est. In the meantime steel rails are
down to the bed rock price and pur-
chasers are pushing to place their or
ders. Somewhere between $50 and $22
the price is likely to settle for season.

The filing of the charter for that pro-
posed Southwest Texas railroad
lie the initial step in what prom
ises to be the most important move
ment that has been made in railway
building in this state for some time
Certainly nothing in Southwest Tex
as since the building of the Arkansas
Pass equals it in Importance. With
that road from Brennan to Browns
vile, via Corpus, and then from Cor
rus to Eagle Pass the Southern Pa
cific will be able with the aid of the
Arkansas Pass to hold the whole south
west. 1t will be a bonanza for Browns
vile, and save Corpus Christi from the
dry rot that now threatens it. Should
the road be pushed down to the City
of Mexico on the other side, as cOntem
plated, it will only add to the impOr-
lance of the project and it's influence
upon the development of that Rio
Grande country. That a charter for
a road does not construct it is too well
known in Southwest Texas to require
comment.

That bill introduced into the House
making the father of an illegitimate
child responsible for his expenses Of
a boy baby until he is 10 years of age,
and until IS if the child is a girl, is
eminently proper and altogether Just.
1t is to be hoped thaat the bill will
pass, and not only so, but that the
father shall be required to educate
that child properly, his circumstances
being taken into consideration. The
burden of illegitimate children has
pressed upon the unfortunate moth
ers long enough. They are not as II
rule nearly so responsible for the COM
ing of these waits into the world as
their fathers are. and the burden
should fall upon the more responsible
parties, particularly as these are the
better able to meet the demands thus
made upon them. 1t is almost too
much to hope the bill will pass.

Some of these days there will be Il
Republican president in the White
House. and Galveston with all of her
rabid Democracy will have to thank
the grand old American party that
there is at least a president of the Ma
ton who will not brook the firing of
Spanish gunbOats on the gulf steamers
that ply in and out of Galveston. For
this service Galveston will continue
to vote the time hOnored principles
of the Democratic party. This is the
inevitable destiny of that kind of re-.
dictionary politics.

And again the unanswerable argu-
ment is made to proposed reform leg
islation in the State House of Repre-
sentatives, that It would give the state
into the hands of the Republicans.
This time the cry comes from the rep
resentative of Bexar county. That
do settle it. Anything that would add
another vote to the meagre showing
OF the state Republicans is to be voted
down, though all the interests of good
government and a clean election were
in the balance. This is statesman
ship, of the quality and sample that
the intelligence of this county sends up
to Austin. 1t is beginning to be known
at last that good election laws mean
the increase of Republican votes in
the state. Then the converse is likely
to be true, that the continued beastly
Democratic majority in Texas depends
upon the perpetuation Of the present

President Winston of the State Uni
Versity would like cash enough out of
the state treasury to put that institu-
ton in the best possible condition for
prosecuting its educational work
There is not a ghost of a chance of his
getting what he wants out of the Leg
islature, but the miserable pittance vo-
ted two years ago should be doubled
or quadrupled. 1t is only justice to
the university to do this.

through the thinning ranks of weyler's

he is not his own master, that he is

thing but fight it out on the line of alb

Cheap Cotton Rates.

Major Benefited tells us that he
was informed by the farmers who
met him at the bridge, on Friday,
that Atlanta, Texas, fearing OF
losing the cotton trade of Cass
county, had secured a rate of %
cents per bale on cotton to Shreve-
port, and under these favorable
rates, the Atlanta merchants were
paying better prices for cotton
than they had been paying, and
this would cut off some cotton from
coming here that would have other
wise been marketed here The
Kansas City, Pittsburg q Gulf road
has made this rate we suppose, in
order to take it away from the T.,
& p. road. IL this rate is correct
we hope our merchants will ask the
K, G. p. g. G. road to give us a rate
equally as low as that prevailing
out Of Atlanta, Texas, We are cer-
tainly entitled to it from the hands
Of this road.
