TICKET soALPlNe ORDINANCE.

Houston is to be congratulated on the passage of
the anti.scaping ordinance. The aldermen who voted
for it, and all present voted for it but one did their full
public duty. All the arguments against scalpng
for it, The ticket scalpers were represented
the meeting and no sound argument in favor of the
practice was brought forward.
Ticket scalping always hurts a community that per
ms it. The railroads place time limits tickets that
would not be required if there scalping Thus
holders of round trip tickets forced to cut short
their visits to city that permits scapng and the city
loses the money that visitors would spend
The scapers do nothing for a city. The amount

such ilegitimate competition is removed, confer

AS shown by Mr.. Frank Jones, representing the No
TsuOh association, at the council meeting Monday, the
adoption of the ordinance necessary to
curson rates from the railroads for the carnival. II
the railroads demanded the suppression of Legitimate
business, that would be another matter. But ticket
scalpng, at least forms of it, is not legitimate

with the passenger that in consideration of his buying

TEXAS ROSES.


TO c. Arthur Williams)
Farewell, dear friend-farewes are bttersweet-
Now, don't forget that Texas skies are blue;
Remember Texas prairies. where your feet
Have walked through paths whose borders with dew
Nodded bejeweled heads when you have passed,
And wreathed about your way their sweet perfume;
If things perchance go wrong, and skies oercas
You've friends down where mdwinter roses bloom
What though the northern skies are dim and gray,
You know where bayous sumber, wide and still;
You know where blossoms blow across the way;
You know where mookbird carols echo shrill;
You know where summer but makes way for spring;
Where wintry winds neer nip the sweet perfume
Where birds plumage gay where friendships cling
And where mdwinter roses bud and bloom,
In hours Of discomfort but close your ewes
And drifting, drifting drifting wander back
In fancy, where the cobalt Texas skies
Arch DER old scenes some well remembered track
Where you pcrchance have wandered days agone
When day had sunk sumber and the moon
Cast shadows where you wandered, not alone
While red midwinter were in bloom
Make new friends, by all means but keep the old
One can't have too much friendship and when Won
DO walk alone where skies drear and cold
Remember there hearts still eal and true;
Remember whereer Fate may cast your lines
In sunny days winters gloom
Where Texas winds sing softly in the pines
Friends think OF you where winter roses bloom
All, Texas roses arc like Texas friendsl
Though Fate may toss them try them steadfast thew
Their beauty and their truth forever blends;
Long may thew live to light you on your wayl
So fare you we'll, good by may soft winds blow
Across your path sometimes a sweet perfume
From fields and ways it was yours to know
Where friendship lives and winter roses bloom

CAPITAL IN TEXAS.

The great service that Mr.. John H. Kirby has done
for the people of Texas consists not alone in the
lishment in Texas of large enterprises in which he
interested. Mr.. Kirby has done than that. He
has prcked the bubble SANDER that has gone float
ing all the country to the effect that Texas is an
antl-capital State
The laws of Texas forbid trusts. but legitimate bust
enterprises do business in Texas and capital
from other parts of the country is welcome here and
is safely protected here yields rich return
anywhere else in the world.
In his speech at the banquet rendered to him on
Tuesday night Mr. Kirby showed that his enterprises
in which capital from other States is enlisted are
strictly according to law. Mr. Kirby said: "The laws
of my State forbid trusts and neither any of my
associates would could be induced to violate the
laws Mr.. Calhoun and all his associates in New York
Baltimore, Philadelphia, St Louis and Boston would
fall away from these enterprises like fleeing from
the plague if they in violation of any law.

BY the establishment of his enterprises in Texas,
in which is invested capital from many States from
New York from Maryland, from Pennsylvania from
Missouri, from Massachusetts, MI Kirby has plainly
aud practically demonstrated that the Lone Star State

Genuine VS.. Spurious History.
(From the Baltimore Sun.)


After the court of inquiry which is investigating Ad
ira Seheys conduct in the war with Spain has finished its
task there will be abundance of material for truthful
history Of the famous battle Santiago. That such
history needed has been demonstrated beyond question by
the testimony OF Admiral Schley friends and foes before
the OF inquiry 1t Is that histories have been
written but the best OF them the light of recent revea
tons inadequate and In demanding an in
vestgaton Admiral Schley only paved the for
umphant vndcaton for himself but laid the foundation for
genuine history Of the naval operations in Cuban
the with Spain In the future narratives the great
victory Cerveras feet be written with the test

worthless official charts the misleading reports the official
version Of the battle be discarded much rubbish
