The Galveston Daily News reminds
it's Texas readers of the difference in in
tercst rates in the northeastern states
and in some of the western and southern
states and gives them few elementary
lessons on the reasons for this difference.
"Interest is never so low" it says, sin
communities given over to suspicious
fires questionable assignments, fraudu-
lent failures or to legislation with de-
cited turn against the creditor and in
favor of the debtor" Much of the mar
kct rate of interest is insurance against
risk, and of course diminishes as the
risk decreases. where men are required
by law 10 pay their debts and are not
sheltered and encouraged in tricky
courses by unreasonable exemption laws
and by public prejudice against cred
| itors as q class the risk is naturally less
| serious. "
Making its application to Texas,
The News says: 1--WE have a right to
| to leave fraudulent debtor residence
worth $50, 900, all the bank stock or
bonds be can carry and an extraordinary
collection of the tools of his trade or
profession and to defy his creditors to
crook finger at him. We can do this if
we prefer, but it is going to cost us
something" 1t asks why the good.
majority of the people of Texas, . who
"are not disposed to live high today ard
hide behind the exemption law, the as
signment law or some other law tomor-
row." should be forced by the discredit
of bad laws and few dishonest men
Ito pay two prices for every dollar they

would come down one-half and the
loanable funds would double if the hon
est men of the state would demand the
enactment of laws under which cred
itor could collect what is due him.

NEW IVY VS. OLD AT TRINITY
 CHURCH,

A force of men have been at work at the Trinity church on the Green for the past few days making much needed Improvements. The old ivy vines that had covered the south side have been torn down and wide concrete pave ment has been laid from the rear to the front--half circles being left be- tween the windows, where new Italian ivy vines will be planted. These had been offered to the church by MT. s. S. Thompson and thankfully accepted. The work is being done by the Connec- ticut Concrete company under the su- perintendence of MT. w. c. Mcintosh. There was narrow concrete walk on this side of the church before leading to the vestry but the drippings from the church caves in rain storms had worn deep ruts in the ground. With the much broader new walk, which is gently sloping, the rain water will run off, causing no disfgurement of the grounds. The new ivy when grown will, it is expected, present very fine appearance

At Steeles Crossing Near Andover
 Yesterday Noon.
 Willimantic, Nov 5.-Extra freight 196, east bound, due here early this af- ternoon, was wrecked at point known as Steele's crossing, near Andover, about noon to-day. The engine was thrown across both tracks, and five cars were derailed, but Engineer Bush- nell, who broke his ankle when jump ing, was the only member of the train crew that was injured. Traffic was de- layed considerable while passengers were being transferred, and the wreck was not wholly cleared away at a late hour this afternoon.
 The train was double freight, with compound eight wheel engine, in charge of Engineer Bushnell ahead and another engine in the middle Conduc- tor Carroll was in charge of the train. The train was being side-tracked at Steele's crossing to permit passenger trains to go by, but the head engine missed connections on a frog and with the impetus of down grade and the force from the second engine 1t was carried some little distance off the irons and finally toppled over. Two of the cars toppled over an embankment about fifteen feet high. The wrecked cars were loaded with cotton and hay. The train for Hartford, which leaves this city at 11:20, transferred its pas sengers to the train from Hartford, which was on the other side of the wreck and due here at y12:30, so that the east bound passengers arrived here | after a delay of a few hours. The damage to rolling stock and freight will not be heavy.

ANXIETY AT MADRID
Concerning the Attitude of the
United States.

London, June 1.-THE M Madrid
correspondent of the Standard
says;
''rhe Madrid papers re.echo
the popular anxiety and curiosi4
ty concerning the attitude which
the United States will adopt in
the face of recent events. The
sensation caused by the reports
OF change of attitude increased
when it was announced that
American tribunals had acquitted
hllbusters who had been stopped
oy an American n-of-war.
Much suppressed Indignation
can be discerned between the
lines of press articles, of everv
shade of opinion, bitterly resent
ing the idea of American inter-
ference in Cuba. Everything
shows that Spain is drifting
again into strained relations with
the United States. Indeed, most
Spaniards are convinced that the
significance of the issue lies
in the fact that the Queen>
regent bas given another trial to
the Canovas-Weyler policy,
chiefly because the Premier and
the Captain-General are both
considered best able to show
bold front and to act with energy
in case President Mckinley and
Secretary Sherman should de.
eide to intervene upon humauita-
rian and philanthropic grounds.
"Any suggestion of mediation
shows but little knowledge of the
temper and feelings of the Span
iards. Any such step on the
part Of America would induce all
parties. even the Republicans
and the Carlists, to rally round
the cabinet. Although official
circles and the press affect to
feel confidence in the friendly
disposition Of Am erica. it is easy
to detect unusual anxiety as to
the news from Washington"
