BANKRUPTCY PETITIONS.

The bankruptcy business in the Federal
courts of Texas is assuming large proper
tons. In the court at Galveston 1ls petit
tons have been filed since the law went
into effect on July /. 1899. For long
time there was very little done because 1t
was new. and the people were Glow In talk
ing advantage of the operation of the act
Within the past few months. however,
the petitions have been coming In thick
and fast. The number Is increasing all
the time and It looks as II the material
would not soon be exhausted,
There are fourteen Federal courts In
Texas divided as follows: In the North
ern district. s; Eastern district, s, and
Western district. 4. Assuming that the
average number of petitions filed in each
court is 100 that would swell the total
number of persons in Texas who have
taken advantage of the act to 400.

Mt Fourteen Hundred for
Texas-Two Civil Courts VIII
Have Plenty of Leisure.

Galveston, Texas. August 1.-THE GAL
weston aldermanio body gave Its twenty
sixth performance at the city hall tonight.
There was a good sized audience present
and the repertoire was fully up to the
standard. Some of the speeialties are be-
coming trihing monotonous from being
so oft repeated, but on the whole the at
traction wears we'll. There are evidences
that tho play may soon pass from farce
comedy into tragedy, as some OF the play
show is different from others In that the
actors are 10th to demand their salaries
and seek other employment. In fact,
there does not seem to be any way to get
them out The performance tonight was
devoid OF results.
LITTLE WORK FOR TWO COURTS.
Clerk Easton of the civil district court,
has been waiting with considerable an
iety for some time TO hear OF the appoint
ment OF a Judge for the new district court,
and now he and Deputies Bruce and Gem
gler will 60 to work OF once arranging the
cases on the books for the two courts.
There is considerable work involved in
this and some time will be required.
There will not be another session, how
ever, until October and everything will DO
in shape by then.
1t is the judgment of court officials and
others we'll informed that there will not
he much for two courts to do. The APP
plication for the creation of the additional
district court for this county was made
at time when some 1900 or 1900 tax suits
had just been fled and the attorneys con-
sequently became alarmed at the condi-
ton of the docket II was represented to
the Legislature that 1t would be impossible
to ever get a speedy trial of case aAi
that the interest of ltigants would suffer
by reason OF the enforced delay, AS
matter of fact of all the tax suits filed
only one has gone to trial SO far, while
hundreds have been dismissed by agree
ment without taking up moment OF he
courts time. They are proving no obsta-
Gle In the disposition of business.
Another opinion expressed around the
court house is that litigation is on the de-
crease. There is not the original business
now there was a few years ago.
Judge Gavin, the new civil judge, will
have to stand for election next year.

What . harmless bogy this has
proved to be! 1t is difficult to sup
press smile as we read these prophe-
cies and contrast them with American
history from the acquisition and an
nexation of the Louisiana territory
till today. 1t seems like a huge joke
to the citizenc of the great state carved
out of that territory, which includes
Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska Col
orado, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Today
the same objection that Mr.. Quincy
urged against the acquisition of Louis
lana territory, from which Nebraska
was carved. is being urged by William
Jennings Bryan against the Philip
pines, viz: That the territory should
not be acquired and annexed because
the inhabitants are not competent to
snare IN the government.
The United States, however, did en-
ter upon the policy of expansion at
that time. This country did not ask
| France to take back the Louisiana ter
ritory and return to us the $15,000,00
given for it. The objections proved
to be more imaginary than real. The
United States patriotically and wisely
grappled with the problems involved,
and solved them in a manner that has
contributed in an immeasurable de-
gree to the greatness and wealth of
the nation. Nobody can be found to-
day to say the expansion policy then
entered upon was unwise.
! Since then we acquired, in 1919, the
$4,000 square miles of Florida; in 1S45,
Texas, with 376,163 square miles; in
1848, New Mexico and California. with
268,242 square miles; in 1858, the Gads-
den purchase from Mexico of 45,535
square miles; in 1867 Alaska, with
531, ,4O9 square miles.
! The Philippines today are nearer In
poirt of time and ease of comnunica-
ton than were those territories then.
Fifty years ago California was dis
tant from Washington three months
journey by land, and six months by
water, while Manila can be reached
from the national capital in less than
a month, and when line of fast trans
pacific steamers, similar to the present
transatlantic lines, is established as
tits certain to be shortly, the capital
Of the archipelago will be brought
within Is days of Washington. Under
such circumstances the reasons urged
by the anti-expansionists are far less
forceful now than when they were
first put forward by the original OBJ
structionists to national development
and progress over 80 years ago. The
people wisely decided in favor of ex.

to believe the old spirit and enterprise

1t is enough for me that my country
knows I did my duty as soldier"
Americas love for the hero who won
for her the splendid possessions of the
Philippines, which are destined to be-
come a great source of national
wealth, is intensified by his modesty.
1t will be as impossible to prevent the
demonstrations of gratitude and ad-
miration by patriotic people for a
great American patriot as to stop the
flow of Niagara. The anti-expansions

that they should make the most Of
statements to the effect that the Philip
pines and all their inhabitants are
worthless; but they ought to see that
this argument cuts both ways. They
have been declaiming against the in
justice of calling the Tagals savages,
