AS TO souTnERN RAILWAY.

A writer in the London Statist, in dis
cussing and Analysing the position and
prospects of Southern Railway says;
The Southern railway continues to do re-
markedly well, and from July to Novem-
Der has secured an increase of 81, 100000 in
its gross receipts. In the three months TO
the end of September gross earnings in
creased $685., 600, expenses $4,000, and net
earnings $S5S, 900. With a further gross in
crease of over 100000 since, there has
probably been an expansion of nearly
100000 in net earnings, and for the four
months the gain in net earnings has APP
parently been about $4,000. For the twelve
months ended June 80 the profit was ST.
0O7 600. Adding to this the increase in net
earnings for the four months we have
net profit of 81. $4,000. equal to 214 per cent.
on $57.29O,CO0 of preferred capital.
How long the present increases will last
we cannot determine, but as the line af-
fords the most direct means of transit TO
Cuba, important increases should continue.
Last year, in the middle of December l
per cent. dividend was declared on the pre-
ferred stock out of accumulated profits at
June 30. This year a 2 per cent. dividend
may possibly be paid as the company is
doing we'll, and as at June 30 last the un-
divided profit was 81 4550O0, which was suf-
ficient to pay per cent, with a balance of
about $500, COO To earn per cent. upon the
preferred stock requires $2,292,OOO, and as we
have in sight, apart from further improve
ments in the remaining eight months of
the year, nearly $1450,000 of net prohts, 1t
follows that a further increase OF SSa2Oo0
would give dividend of per cent. for the
present year. For the full per cent to be
earned the expansion in profit must be
81, 414,OO
Considering that in the first four months
of the current year the company have
already obtained an increase of nearly
$3.50 900, and that it must derive an increased
traffic from Cuba, as well as from the de-
velopment of southern Industries, an in
crease of $4S0, 0O0 necessary to pay per
cent. dividend for the current year is not
out of the question.

try to pay. or to see that Cuba paid. This
is the amount that this country would
have to deal with If Mr.. Hannis Taylor's
lem plan had been adopted He would have
all expenditures for the permanent i'm
provement of the island run with the land,
and Spain would very naturally claim that
all of the bonds are In that category.
But the truth is, scarcely any of the debt
should be charged against Cuba. Spain be-
gan to issue bonds based ON Cuban reve-
nues as early as 1861: She had no other
collateral. She had exhausted hame re-
sources. She charged against Cuba almost
everything-the expenses of the war with
Peru and Mexico, as well as the expenses
of the ten-years REBELLION and the recent
rebellion. 1t is very probable that not
single cent of the vast Indebtedness
charged against Cuba was expended for
the permanent Improvement of the island
and the American commissioners at Paris
did well to reject the tangle of bonds
altogether.

BANKHEAD AND BAILEY

Washington Special to Galveston News.
A few days ago the papers up here con-
tanned the information that the man who
would be put up against Mr.. Bailey would
be Congressman Bankhead of Alabama. Mr..
Bankhead is candidate for the senate
in place of Mr.. Morgan. He has always
been a friend of Mr.. Bailey and to some
the news came as surprise. But if Mr..
Bankhead can show strength in the con-
test with Mr.. Bailey for the leadership, his
fight against Morgan would be easier.
Bankhead is most popular man with
northern democrats He is looked on by
them wonderfully bright and master
in political fights He is one of those men
who has been sheriff and all that He
is not lawyer, and when it comes down
to 1.-The masses he is better than any
southern politician perhaps in public life
today. He is true and tried silver man,
but then he is a man who likes to win
He Is a party man with convictions which
would yield on a pinch for his party's tri-
umph. Whether it is the determination of
the old fellows in the party to enter Bank
head against the young Texan is not GER
tain, but the interview which Mr.. McMillin
gives out today would indicate that such
are the intentions.

A Constitutional Convention.

A few plain words will not be amiss at
this stage of the discussion over a consti-
tutional convention. Surely no observer
will say that public sentiment is opposed to
state, which surely is an excellent index
of public sentiment, is almost solidly in
favor of the submission of a convention
proposition. We cannot recall the names of
half dozen papers that favor revision by
amendment; we cannot recall the name of
any democratic paper that is opposed to
revision altogether.
Neither in conventions, nor in indepen-
dent addresses, nor in any way in which
public sentiment finds expression has there
been any evidence of material division in
the democratic party over the problem.
Especially true has this been since the trou-
bles in the two Carolinas sprang up. All
feel that there cannot be security and pros
perity in a high degree while the organic
law remains unchanged
In other words, the people almost sol'dly
prefer revision through a constitutional
convention; and in a republican govern
ment the people should have what they
desire. What they want they should have,
be it right or wrong, wise or unwise prac-
ticable or impractfcable, advisable or mad
visable; for with us government, both state
or national, rests on the consent of the gov
erned.
But 1t has been said that there should
not be convention because 1t would do
this, that or the other thing. This propo-
sition in its first, last and permanent analy-
sis means that the people are not trust
worthy-that they need guardians, self
constituted though they be; that they must
be guided and manipulated by those who
are wiser No one will have the hardihood
to say that the few who propose to control
the people are themselves free from preju-
dice. All know that they have axes to
grind; and yet they have the assurance to
calmly assert that the people are not to
be trusted in the matter of selecting dele
gates TO a convention. his SlInpiiileS the
issue. The issue, then. is this: Shall the
people control their own, or shall few
because of their wisdom, real or unreal, be
permitted to dictate the course that the
legislature shall pursue in this matter?
The Age-Herald does not desire to be I'M
kind or unjust in any respect but it feels
that the time has come for plain words
and naked facts.

Spain's Cuban Debt.

1t is very probable that we have not
heard the last of the debt that Spain is try
ing to fasten upon this country, or upon
Cuba at any events. The attempt will not
succeed, but it may be the source of long
negotiations and entanglements. France,
rather French people. are said to hold
good share of the bonds in question, and
perhaps when Spain has done her utmost
and failed, France may take the matter in
hand.
The debt In question was put by Senior
Nierchen in 1895 at s2S7 s5s, 2OO This amount
stood charged in 1895 against Cuba on tho
books of the Madrid government. But
there are other items. There are the Cuban
bonds of 1890 amounting to s175, 900, 900; the
customs bonds of November, 1896, amount
ing to $50 100000; the customs bonds of May,
1897. and January. $685. amounting to sso,Ooo-
600; and finally lot of bonds based on a
stamp tax, taxes on food and tobacco,
amounting to SIS oo.coo. When these items
are added to the estimate of Senior Mcrchen
q grand total of s6s7 .953.2oo appears. This
is the amount that Spain asked this coun-

Child Labor in Factories.

Senator Hurst's bill to forbid the employ
ment of children under II years of age in
mines and factories, may operate to keep
out a few stony-hearted capitalists, but it
is a righteous bill nevertheless. Nor is It
plain that it would deter any capitalist

laws, and those that have not adopted SUCH
laws will soon do so. and when all forbid
the employment of small children, none
Will be hurt by such humane provisions
The senate did right when it stood up for
the defenseless little folks, and 1t deserves
especial commentator for its refusal to
except from the terms of the bill this or
that county. Discrimination within the
state would be even more odious and I'M
warranted than discrimination among the
sovereign states What is good for one
county is good for all. Either the bill
should be applied to all or to none. A
county that attempts to establish industries
on the basis of work by tender children at
low wages and for long hours, should not
be checked and curbed. and rendered hui
name against Its will.
The customary hours of work in the cot
ton factories exceed eleven hours-in some
cases rising to twelve hours. To say that
a child below twelve years of age shall
work such hours is almost incredible and
inhuman. 1t is scarcely within the pale of
civilization. 1t is a jump back to the mid
die ages

YOUTHFUL AMBITION.

From the London Pail Mall Gazette.
A recent scene from child life actually
witnessed at the Karl theater, Vienna. The
director has engaged sundry little maidens
from the primary school to take the parts
of the angel hosts and the souls of children
in Andersons Blonde Kathrein" Enters
from the outer door small girl with her
school satchel in her hand, who stands
shyly, peeping into the directors office.
"Well, little one, what can We do for your"
asks an attendant who has never seen the
wee six-year-old before, and thinks she
probably belongs to the angels or tn spirits.
The small intruder: at isn't for me; 1 was
sent by Bertha Steiner and Hermine GRAIL,
who are in my class" well, and what do
the Steiner and the other one want?" "If
you please, they are standing in the street
below, and daren't come up yes and
why not?" IF you please they won't play
the part of the Second Child Spirit and
Third Child Spirit any longer. They both
want to be First Child Spirit, and If not
they won't come any more" By this sin
fell the angels, but Andersens angels seem
to begin early.

Americanizing a Church.

A movement of general Importance has
recentlv-been inaugurated in the Catholic
: church of this country. 1t is movement
that is supported not only by the pope, but
by all schools of Catholics in this country
by Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ire
land as well as by Archbishop Corrigan and
other strict prelates of the church. The
movement looks to the ultimate American
ization of the church in this country. There
are to be no more Polish or German or
French Catholic churches established in
this country, and as rapidly as the work
can be done all the churches that have
been established and named are to be
Americanized.
The Catholics of German descent in some
sections of the country object very strenu-
ously to the innovation, but they will have
to submit to the new plan. The question
does not relate in any way to essentials in
the church, but only to the desire to per-
petuate as long as possible in this coun-
try the tongue and memories of father
land. The pope thinks such national
churches are unreasonably sentimental, and
he has therefore gone over to the Ameri-
can side of the question. after a contro-
versy that has been at times very warm
and that has been well maintained many
years
The recognition of Anglo-Saxon domna-
ton in this country is another step towards
its complete Americanization. There are
few spots here and there in which another
tongue is spoken, but they will soon give
way before the Anglo-Saxon flood, and the
children of today will at any rate know no
other tongue. The Scandinavians of Min
nesota, the Mexicans of Arizona and New
Mexico, the Syrians of New York City and
the Poles and Huns of the Pennsylvania
mining districts-all must surrender their
native tongues, and accept the language
that was promoted by the late Spanish war,
and that may overspread the world
