SOME of the friends of Governor
Taylor are urging him to resign and
accept the appointment to succeed
the lamented Isham G. Harris. In
our opinion "Our Bob" has already
made enough sacrifices to his party,
and should not thus be compelled
to make another sacrifice by accept
ing the position Of United States
Senator. Benton McMillin is the
choice OF many as a gubernatorial
candidate ne1tyear, but we are sim
cere in the belief that he can best
serve the interests of the people by
remaining in Congress, and we fur
ther believe that he is Justly emit

lor will clearly see his way to ten

REALIZING that something had
to be done to stop the wave Of pop
ular indignation on account of the
notorious favoritism toward the SUI
gar trust in the Dingley bill, the
House schedule was submitted in
the Senate, after making a number
of changes all in the interest Of the
trust, which still stands to reap an
enormous profit, to which it is not
entitled, and at the expense of the
consumer. The new sugar schedule
is better than the one embraced in
the House bill, but there is little
probability Of it's being bettered be

trust has too strong a grip on the
Republican leaders,

THERE are reasons for the belief
that the Republicans are playing q

to exhibit them as favoring protec-
ton, and. that when the tariff bill
goes to the President it will not
contain duty on raw cotton.

TWELVE REASONS WHY.

The st. Louis Republic gives a dozen good rea-
sons why newspaper readers should read this
paper. Here theYa arc:
1, The Republic is the greatest paper published.
2. IL has cable news service over the entire
civilized world, which no other st. Louis paper
can secure.
3. Special correspondents in an the large cities
and capitals Of Europe.

The great trouble with the new
tariff bill is that it has too much
protection and not enough revenue
Less protection for "infant" indus
triesand alittle more revenue would
help the cause amazingly.

LAST week The CHRONICLE was
given another opportunity to pub
fish q sensational article, and by
narrowing up the feelings of those
who are at least entitled to have
their grief and troubles respected
it could have made a very sensa-
tional "story." The CHRONICLE is
not here for any such purpose. We
believe that newspaper or news
paper writer can easily find better
employment than making public
the private troubles Oh misfortunes
of others, and especially when such
publicity is bound to hurt the feel
ings of the innocent. The CHRoN-
IoLE desires to be fair, frank and
honest in its presentation of local
and county news, but we reserve the
privilege Of drawing the line on the
ultra-sensational.

from New York. Mr.. McHarss coming has
| created stir In railroad circles here and
speculation is rife as to what his purpose IN
visiting his Texas property is. OF course
railroad presidents frequently go over their
roads for the purpose OF Inspection. but
the Texas Central is only 200 miles long
ana Vice President Hamilton is manager
and gives his personal attention TO thu
road and can make detailed report OF its
condition at any time. therefore 1t Is not
believed Mr. McHargs visit is for the pur
bose OF inspection.
II was stated In a dispatch from here
some days ago that the Texas Central peo-
PIE would soon present a bill to the legis-
iature granting them the right to purchase
part or all OF the Waco and Northwestern
railroad. recently sold to Wilbur f. Boyle
OF ST Louis. 1t was also stated in the same
dispatch that the Houston and Texas Gem
tral Railroad company had gIvep notice
that they would apply for a special act OF
the legislature giving them the right to
purchase and consolidate with their system
the Waco and Northwestern and the Texas
central The latter road has only about
You QUO bonded debt and Is therefore con
troiied absolutely by its stockholders Tho
acquisition of a majority OF the stock by

would effect n consolidation without pur-
ehase outright provided the Legislators
iegalized consolidation. Consolidation OF
these roads with the Houston and Texas
central means removal Of the headquar-
ters from Waco to Houston and OF course
a change of management. and It is the
contemplation of these results that has
created such an interest here in the move
ments Of the parties. 1t is said MIR. McHarg
desires to retain his Texas Central inter
ests and is anxious to purchase the Waco
aud Northwestern with view OF extending
tho limo from Brcmond to beaumont. thus
opening up a direct limo to the great lum-
