AN article sent out by the litera-
~ bureau of the Southern Pacific
and Houston and Texas Central
railroad, on the need of manufac-
lures to insure the development of
Texas, appears elsewhere IN this
evenings HERALD. 1t contains
some sound advice for Texas and
the capitalists of the state should
heed it. Every town should build
up factories, great or small, as the
needs and resources Of tributary
territory may justify. The state
buys nearly all of its rnanufactur-
ed goods outside Of its limits. A
change in favor Of industrial ad-
vancement is gradually becoming
perceptible, however, aud the day
NAV not be far distant when the
hum of machinery will be heard
along every stream, and the smoke
eloud from numerous factory
chimneys dot the skies overhead,
from the Red River to the Rio
Grande. The great petroleum dis
coveries in the state will hasten
the advent of the new industrial
era.

BANDITS IN CUBA.
Planters Pay Well to Prevent De.
structiOn of Property.

Bandftry in Cuba Is to all intents and
purposes a well-recognized profession
They have a habit of holding up people
of means that differs in some respects
from the mode of the Italian brfgands,
but leads to the same results.
A gentleman who has lived in Cuba
nearly all of his life states that it is in
large part due to the moneyed men them
selves that tribute is paid to gangs OF
robbers. who have a polite way of doing
things. This gentleman said:
Il know of one man in the province OF
Cienfuegos who has been compelled to
pay vast sums annually in order to pre-
vent the destruction of his property. This
money has been paid to man who fig
ured prominently in the last revolution
and who has a plan all OF his own for
forcing money from wealthy people. This
man. who makes the collections, is sup
posed to have a large following in that
province and-1or this reason IL is an
easy matter for him to intimidate those
who feel that they have not the protec-
ton which the law should give
He Will go to the owEer of large
plantation and ask to borrow $500 or 81 0Ol
for few weeks. The owner of the plan
tation knows that it is useless to refuse.
and he knows, too, that the money paid
out in this way will never be paid back
TO him 1t is a tribute which he feels he
must give to those who are supposed TO
have some influence because OF their
connection with the late revolution. The
money is paid without a protest. and IL
is not long before another request for
funds is made.
1T is largely due to the lack of moral
courage on the part of those who are
held up that these bandits, for such they
are, are able to continue their work. The
man who has money feels that If he does
not comply with their demands ne viii
have his property destroyed and in this
way lose Il great deal more in single
day or night than he will be asked TO pay
the bandits in a lifetime. IL the proper
" owners would get together and refuse
the demands of these scOundrels they
would have some chance of putting an
end to their work.
but they are afraid 10 do anything
and for this lack of confidence which they
have in those who are entrusted with en-
forcing the law they must pay tribute
bandit such a prosperous one or course.
the men who hold up property owners il
this way do not consider themselves ban
dts. In fact they are never afraid of
the law as they operate in a way To keep
on the safe side. They do not make any
threats. 1t is not necessary for them to
do so. for it Is understood by the man
who is held up that they will do him in
jury II he does not comply with their de-
mandS
The story of the gentleman quoted above
is doubtless a true version of the matter
But Ii is a fact, too, that there are ban
dts in Cuba who operate in u manner
which brings them more closely under the
definition Of the term bandits. These ban
dts have been operating in Cuba to some
extent during the past year. and il APP
pears that they are increasing rather than
diminishing. This is due I rgely to the
utter inefficiency of the rural guards in
the past.-ChicaSo Chronicle.

SEATS ON THE EXCHANGE.
The Office Boy Was as Fortunate as
the BOaster.

There are men in all the walks Of life
who are fond Of boasting about their
business acumen and their powers Of
money making, and Wan Streets has its
braggarts as well as any other locality.
Two brokers met the other day on their
way home IN ferry boat, and one said to
the other IN a friendly spirit:
well Old man. is the Street using you
well these days?"
Using me well." exclaimed the other

his loud boasting had caused to turn to-
ward him.
His companion evidently didi not like
this. and in somewhat sarcastic tones re-
piled:

flee boys got seat on the Exchange,

rather sksptically. j did not hear about
