lions for Congressman
Victoria, Texas, May 26.-While waiting
to hear from Schley, victorians are putting
in their spare moments discussing the
gubernatorial situation.
Prior to the withdrawal OF Crane there
was a prospect for a hard fight by his
friends, with indications pointing to a Say
ers victory; it is now conceded however,
that Sayers will secure practically unani-
nous instructions.
The congressional delegation will prob
ably be uninstructed.
The legislative race is exciting more local
interest than any other, there being two
candidates from this county, T. C. Nc
Farland, the present incumbent, and L..
II. Bailey, both Of whom are making a
thorough personal canvass, and each is
confident of securing the instructions Of
the county convention.

Tho Springfield Republican objects to the
proposed taxes on bank deposits and life In
surance policies, but II makes this pertinent
suggestion in regard to them. Nothing could
better exhibit the crippled slate in which the
Federal tax power has been left by the su-
prcme courts income tax decision than these
desperate expedents to which fcsort Is pro-
posed for the means OF ing on war
Of very moderate proportions" There Is
world Of truth in this. The income tax de-
cison has left no method OF imposing tax
on the wealth OF the country unless 1t can be
done by such special taxes as are proposed by
the senate. The simple. Just and constitu-
tional method OF taxing wealth, which was
exercised by congress during tho civil war,
has has been stricken down by Shlras.

WHY NOT CUT IT..

The recent voyage ef the battleship Ore
son from San Francisco to New York again
calls attention to the inestmable benefits
that the United States might derive from
the opening Of the Nicaragua canal
The distance from New York to San
Francisco via the Horn is 1860 miles,
which may be reduced about 1000 miles by
passing through the Straits of Magellan
The opening of the Nicaragua canal would
shorten the sea route between California
and New York to 49O7 miles, the generally
beneficial results of which to the United
States are hardly to be calculated
BY both the Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards the necessity for shorter waterway
between them has been long felt and re-
peatedly demanded. The impetus that
would be given to the commerce of the
United States ny the Nicaragua canal has
been repeatedly pointed out and practically
demonstrated, 1t would place our Eastern
and Southern ports at least 5000 miles
nearer China. Japan and Australia, and
thus enable us more successfully to com
pete with the world for the trade of those
tagcs TO be gained from an extension OF
our commerce are those of more intimate
connection between the more widely sep
aratod States Of the Union.
In the opening of the Sues canal Eng
land has given ns an object lesson as ia
the benefits that we are certain to derive
from a Nicaragua cutoff The British
iherchantman is 5000 miles nearer Asiatic
ports than we are, while we could MS easily
reduce this distance by half In our own
favor.
me principal objection to the Nicaragua
canal project has been urged on the grounds
OF economy, while nothing could he more
plainly in evidence than the present ex-
ua'asahce OF tnversing half the globe In
order to maintain one OF the most i'm
portnnt branches OF our commerce. Tho
Nicaraguan government has long since Az
pressed It's Willingness to cooperate with
the United States In the opening OF The
canal, and the importance of the wor,,
means infinitely more to us than tho ms
session OF distant islands and the opening
OF stations and horbors at the remotes,
ends or the earth Tho whole of the many
'a'ked-of anncxatons to the United States
! would not contribute as much by half To
'he commercial supremacy of this country
us me simple expediont of shortening the
Instances between our ports aud those OF
Asia and Australia and the continued nev
ieet OF congress to undertake so important
WORK can be accounted for neither by tho
rules OF common sense nor a thorough re
gard Tor the best interests OF the cou,try

THE NEW POLICE.
The Matter Was the Subject of a Long
Discussion by the Council

The city council is somewhat at sea
concerning the management of the po-
lice force under the new arrangement.
There was protracted meeting of the
members in secret session Monday
evening but nothing was DONE City
Attorney Bird was instructed to pre-
pare an ordinance and report it at a flu
ture meeting but no definite inStruc-
lions were given to him. 1t seems to
be conceded that the salary basis will
be about as it stands at present.
There will be no chief of police. He
will serve under the title of marshal.
He will have two deputies who will fill
the places now taken by the SergeantS.
There will be a jailer and patrol driver
and the rest of the force will be PATROL
men. The number of patrolmen will
be regulated by the council and it will
not exceed 20 men, in all probability.
Some new timber is being considered
for marshal. Street Commissioner
James Ramsey is being considered for
the position. He has had no expert
ence in the field but has served three
years as street commissioner. The cOun-
Gil may not ratify the appointment of
Ramsey if it is made because they in
sist upon him continuing as street COM
missioner.
Ex-Sheriff Wilkerson and ex-Sheriff
D. N. Burge are also mentioned in con-
nection with the position.
1t is conceded that Al Hopkins is to
be one of the jailerS. He filed the po-
sition with credit until he was dis
charged to make room for POpuliSt.
