w. w. Kent. chairman OF the old South

Passenger Agent Townsend OF the Missouri
Pacific have been in Chicago comforting
with the Rock Island and the Santa Fe on
the best methods TO bring about revival
of tho association. It is said by the st
Louis Republic that the roads. which In
the past have been accused of dcmoraliz
ing tie rates in the Southwest, are now
most anxious to have reorganization eff
fected. The roads that We're willing for
the adoption of the last agreement have
said they worla have nothing more to 10
with associations until the disturbing mem
Der was ready to change It's tactics. Once
they are positively assured of the willing
ness of those roads to adopt a stronger
agreement they will be willing to con-
slider the formation of the old association
once more. II is not expected that any
decisive action will be taken In the imme-
dat future

II WAS TRUE

With regard TO the denial in Il Calves
certain State officials that there was any
truth In The Post special from this city,
printed day before yesterday. TO the effect
that there had been all Interchange Of com
m,inications of an important character be-
tween the Federal ana state authorities In
dicating the early approach OF war and
that adyices had been received here which
meant the early calling out of the Volun-
toor Guard. The Post correspondent Is pre-
pared to successfully maintain the correct
ness of the dispatch.
Denials or no dcnials, the executive de-
pai,ment has been In communication with
the navy department ut Washington and
has been informed that as part OF the
proposed plan OF defense Of the Texas coast,
the Volunteer Guard In the absence OF
naval militia, will be called upon to per-
form active service at exposed coast points,
and the governor has acquiesced 10 tho
proposition and Is ready to Issue the ncces-
sary orders when the time comes. the pre-
limnary orders having already been Is
sued.
INJUSTICE TO THE GOVERNOR.
Some of the weekly papers. probably
without intending H. do Governor Culber-
son injustice In saying he is responsible
for holding an election on the COME ielate
pension amendment week earlier than
the general election. The regular session
of the legislature adjourned on May 81.
1897, aud on that day at 230 D. M, the
joint resolution providing for the submits
sion OF the amendment to the people was
presented to the governor Necessarily
this was too late for him 10 return It and
nave the date Of the election chlnged, and
n he had vetoed the resolution on the
ground OF having two elections II would
have defeated me amendment fer TWO years.
because constitutional amendments can not
be proposed at u special SESSION. Article
XVII OF the constitution provides that
constitutional amendments must be pro-
posed Eat any biennial session. which
OF course, means regular lcsslon.
Besides this. 80 far as the governor
knew II may have been the dellbsrate
Judgment OF tho legislature TO hold tho
election on the amendment on day other
thnn that on which the general elcct)n
was held. There IRE some reasons for
this whether considered good or bad. such
az desire to avoid mixing the question
With cnndidacies for Office and political
controversies. and so far ms the governor
knew the legislature may have regarded
these as sufficient to justify the addi-
tiOnal nxnpnsp.
