as many of US might wish. One of these
is that, when We have extended to the

proclamation, We will clear out, bag and
baggage. as quickly as possible there
after.
Whatever the sovereign rights of the
United States may be in the Philippines
to which the commission refers, we are
all agreed on recognizing 1.-The interna-

1t Is the Lone Star state, containing over
274,000 square miles and capable of sus-
tanning a population of q, 900 persons
without the slightest difficulty. 1t Is the
largest state in the Union, and it pro-
poses to retain that distinction to the
end
We congratulate Texas. May 1t ever
remain great and glorious one and In
Invisible: the state of fighters and of
square feet; of history and hogs; of cour-
age and cattle; of whisky and wheat; of
live men and live stock; of good law and
hard liquor; of brave men and noble
women: Of fresh air and free farms of
statesmen and stockmen; Of sorghum and
snakes, Of preachers and prairie dogs;
OF politics and pecans; of harbors and
health.

door to the emigrant and the capitalist

The street railway systems of the
principal cities of the country are
following "a line of development that
was inevitable when electricity came
to displace the horse and the mule
as the motive power. The very
name street railway is becoming too
restricted an appellation, for, although
they will always continue to occupy
streets. in their larger phase of growth
they are invading the country districts
and connecting cities, giving to their citi-
zens a more rapid means of inter-com-
munication than the steam railways do
give or can profftably give. AS progress
sive improvements diminish the per
centage of loss of power in transmitting
the electric force the capacity of these
means of communication to reach out
into the rural districts will increase.
The consequences to the focal points,
the larger cities, are of immense impor
lance, while the compromising advantages
to the communities given easier and more
rapid access to the cities are equally
great LIE erect OIL the extension Oh II
city railway out into country district
or to another city or town is to expand
by that distance the radius of the retail
trade of the city, while it extends to the
people along the line whatever advan-
tage there is in shopping in the city. The
advantage is mutual.
These considerations bear upon the bill
pending in the house, with a recommended
ton in committee of the whole to pass.
1t facilitates, with proper safeguards,
this natural and inevitable development.
Under its influence the time will soon
come when every city in the state, able
to sustain street railway, will have its
lines running out to nearby towns, fur
nishing to people along the route rapid
and frequent communication with the To-
cal city. There is everything to commend
the bill, and, so far as we have given
the measure study, nothing to be urged
against it that is worthy of consideration.
We fail to see that there is any ground
for the apprehension expressed by Repre-
sentative Dwinnell, that the bill is a
drive at any existing system, for it
seems to leave a fair field for all.

TO PUSH IMMIGRATION.

1t would seem that 1t ought not to be
necessary to urge the legislature to pass
a measure which would bring settlers to
Minnesota and the states Immediately
west, but the appropriation of $4,000
asked for by the Commercial club and
others for the purpose of turning i'm
migration this way appears to be in some
danger of being 'lost in the shuttle" in
the closing days of the session. 1t is de-
sired that a car shall be equipped with
the cereal and other agricultural products
of this state and wheeled through the
thickly settled sections of adjoining states
with the view of bringing people to Min
nesota to populate its farms. The sum OF
$4,000 is sufficient to set a considerable
tide of immigration in this direction. 1t
is worth the candle, and the legislature
should appropriate the money.
