The issue involved in the injunc-
ton suit brought by the Texas rail-
road stockholders to restrain the
Texas Railroad Commission from
making freight rates and enforc-
ing them is of vast Importance to
shippers everywhere. The actual
value of the railroads in Texas is
40 million dollars and the COM
mission claims that they should be
allowed to earn a reasonable inter
est on this amount. The railroads
have issued fictitious stock and
bonds and have thus capitalized
the roads for 369 million and claim
the right to earn interest on that
amount. If the railroad contention
is sustained and the Texas law,
giving the commission power to
regulate freight rates. is declared
unconstitutional then Texas and
every other state is prohibited from
making laws regulating freight
rates only as the railroads wish it,
and the stockholders of the rail-
roads given the power to issue all
the ficticious bonds and stocks they
please and capitalize the road for
the same and make freight rates
high enough to earn interests on
said amount. They could do. as
the Texas & Pacific has done, is
sued bonds and stocks for $50. 900
mile, when the read did not cost
over $40, 900 a mile. They could
demand a reasonable interest on
the $4,000 a mile and fix the
freight rate to earn it and the peo-
pie would be powerless to help
themselves. Such is the tune of
corporate power-to control the
people instead of the people con-
trolling them.

IN reporting the proceedings in

Dawes commission to enroll her as
a Chickasaw citizen the Valley
News makes the following COM
ment: The matter of the power
of the courts in the Indian Terri
tory to control the commission in
its action ON any matter that may
come before it has been the sub
ject of much discussion and much
difference of opinion. 1t has been
contended by some members of
the bar that if the Dawes commits
sion were to decline to enroll a
fullblood Indian, although they
admitted that he was a fullbloOd
ChickasaW and residing in the In
dian Territory in compliance with
the provisions of the Curtis bill,
there was no authority of said
courts to compel them to enroll
him. A number of members of
the bar were of the opinion that
were the petitioner for citizenship
clearly entitled to enrolment, it
ceases to be a matter Of judicial
discretion with the commission
and becomes a mere ministerial
duty, and that the courts have the
power and should direct enroll
ment by writ of mandamus.

TEXAS will have four Populists
in her next legislature. In her
last she had six, and in the one
previous she had %. Populism
has gone the way of all third par
ties. The history of the parties of
the past shows there is room for
but two great parties in the United
States. The principles now repre-
sented by the Republican and
Democratic parties have been, since
the organization of the govern
ment, the principles represented
by the two dominant parties, and
until the overthrow of constitu-
tional and religious liberty in this
country these principles will be
represented, and no other party
can supercede them.

THERE are 5000 applicants for
26 offices within the gift of Gov
elect Sayers of Texas. Hard times
is the cause of this. Everything
else is cheap but office holding.
Down, down, down everything
goes that the people have to sell
and there is no demand for labor
or professional services, and every
one who has any sort of a pull"
is trying to get some sort of an Of
fee where they can have an easy
time and live on the fat of the
land despite the low price of cot
ton, the depressing influences of
the gold standard on business, the
paralyzing effect of the trusts,
the robbery of the Dingley tariff
and the pension system. Give
prosperity to the people-let them
have a good living price for their
produce and labOr-and a large
per cent of the Office-seeking will
stop. Office-seekers we have al
ways had with US, and until the
end of time we shall have them.
but their Over-production in these
days is the direct result of the
hard times-the inability to make
a living in the ordinary pursuits
of life.

a SPECIAL from Washington
says America demands all the
Philippine islands. The basis of
settlement, it is thought, will be
the cession of the islands to this
country on the payment Of about
$3.50, 100000. This country, it
seems, can only hold the island of
Luzon by conquest, and in order
to get all the islands this govern
ment is to pay the above sum.
Capitalists in America own about
$4,000, 900 worth of Philippine
bonds. The sum to be paid by the
United States will about pay off
these bonds. The bondholder
must be taken care Of. Spain says
she will not pay the Cuban bond
holders if she has to give the island
to America, for the bonds were to
be paid out of the revenue to be
collected in that island, and when
she cedes the island the revenue
goes to the United States govern
ment, and if any government re-
deems the bonds it must be this
government. So the dispute goes
hravely on.

made up his mind TO take a rest. A
short time ago a convict accidentally
had finger taken off while at work
in the shoe shop and was relieved
from duty. Cling, hearing this, thought
he would like vacation and tried to
get several of the inmates TO CHI his
finger on. Not finding anyone who
cared for the job, he picked up knife
and after getting 1t as sharp as pos
sible, laid it across his finger and
struck it with hammer. This had
the desired effect. Cling was taken to
the hospital, where his finger was
properly dressed. lie is now putting
in his time with his hands fastened
to the cell door, where he will prob
ably remain for some time. Cling Is
