OF all sorts and degrees are men OF as much special
training as railroad men. There is an organization
that is wonderful in its completeness and effectiveness
and a discipline like that Of an army. What ia true Of
Tammany in New York is true of the political organi.
cations in other cities OF the United States, and, in
deed, of the country districts. The scheming and the
plotting and the dickering, the bartering and huckster.
ing and corruption is the same in kind, although lesser
in degree.
The remedy for all of this will come in time. In
contemplating the evils that exist at home, we are apt
to forget the greater evils that exist abroad. We have
the power to obtain good government, n we would but
use the power. II bad government and bad political
conditions exist it is because we have inflicted them
upon ourselves. In other countries the political evils
are tyrannicslly imposed on the people, and nothing
short of revolution can throw them of. In the United
States a battle of the ballots will bring the victory any
election day without the shedding of blood.
When the majority Of the people OF our country de-
serve good government we will have it. and not till
then.
There is no other way than this: For each citizen to
exercise the duties of citizenship according to the best
light that is in him, and to spread the light that is in
him as far as he can. that it may illuminate the path of
as many Of his fellow citizens as possible. The Ameri-
can business man is not expected to go into politics as
a business. The turning of politics into a business 10
the chief public evil it is his duty to prevent. A really
very small degree Of effort on the part of each good citi
zen of this country would heap up. in total, as a noun.
tain which the most agile politician could not cross.
II is the carelessness of those who think Themselves
good citizens that gives the politician his opportunity
II every good citizen would do his full duty. as the good
citizens of the United States are in the majority. we

Much Ado About Nothing.

From the Terrell Times-Star.
The TYLER Courier and other papers OF the Third congress
sional district are very persistent in pepeating the declaration
that De Grafenred was not a citizen OF this district at the
time it was created. but was a citizen Of Hunt county. Well,
what il he was; He has been a citizen of this State long
enough to be in congress six years when his present term is
out. and it is more than twelve months till the next general
election, and six months residence in any one single county
entities him TO vote. and if he can vote he is qualified to run.
Has he ever denied living in Greeuvillei Is he to be
b~acklisted as a candidate because he has? Is that any argu-
ment against his candidacy? We think not. 1t occurs to us
that if we are TO oppose Mr., De Grafenreid we have to use a
better argument than that to have any weight.
The facts are that Mr.. De Grafenreid's homestead has
always been in Longvew, and let's grant, for argument sake
that he called Greenville his home and voted there. What
has that to do with his qualifications as d congressman from
the Third district
The manner OF redistrieting the State is politics, from
first to last, and usually the representative is looking out for
himself. We don't expect the representative in East Texas
whose counties embrace several in the Third district. ever
consulted De Grafenrcid as to where he lived and whether
he would like to succeed himself or not. We opine the rep,
resentative was thinking most about his own case, 1t is gen.
orally understood that a member Of the legislature will be a
candidate for congress from this district, and all politician.
are alike to us, and this is the usual motto: In order to sue
coed myself will kill every man that has like aspirations
OF course there is no law requiring the members OF the legis.
lature to consult the present congressman, except the law OF
courtesy, and there is no such law between politicians; with
them it is every man for himself, and the chances are : to
that the devil will get them all.
Now, if De Grahenreid ever lived in Hunt county. Their
the district was made by the politician without his know1.
edge and consent and De Grafenreid has come back into the
district without their knowledge and will make the race for
congress without their consent.

BUSINESS FOLLY IN HOLDING PHILIPPINES

If the argument Of right has no weight with the adj
ministration with regard to its policy in the Philip
pines, consideration will doubtless be given to the argu-
ment Of expediency.
The holding Of the Philippines by the United States,
as a business proposition, does not pay.
Here is the way it figures out: The revenues Of the
Philippines barely suffice to maintain the expenses OF
he civil government. To hold the islands necessitates,
according to the lowest estimates, the stationing there
Of 10000 troops. There are now $4,000 troops in the
archipelago. The expense OF maintaining these 10000
troops, in time of peace, for one year, amounts to $45r
100000. That's the debit side of the ledger.
Now for the credit side. The exports from the
United States to the Philippines for the year 1900
amounted to $-2,153,226. The net profit TO the exporters
is, at the highest, 10 per cent-that is $215.322. That
is, we spend Sl5,oOO,oOo to make $2l5.322, and lose on
the years business $44,7S4,67S. What kind of business
is that?
It may be humiliating to have to confess It, but we
are face to face with the facts. We defeated Spain on
land and sea, but Spain duped us on the trade. Spain
for s2O,O00,000 sold us a war. Besides, there is an ad-
ditional sting. Whether we win the war or lose it, we
get the worst of it. 1t is a case Of heads You win, tails
l lose. Defeat at the hands Of so insignificant a people
as the Fiipinos would be indeed a grievous thing.
Scarcely less grievous is victory, for the country is not
worth conquering and costs more to keep than to let 90.
If the administration would but proclaim the prin-
ciple Of the declaration of independence, that govern
ment derives it's just powers from the consent of the
governed, and let the Filipinos govern themselves, We
would at the same time preserve our dignity and get
out Of an exceedingly difficult and expensive situation

REMOVE THE CAUSES FOR AFEIDAvIrs.

The Post has not undertaken to pass upon the value
Of the affidavit Of II. +. Alexander read to the city
council last Monday by request of Alderman Robinson.
All The Post knows about it is that Mr.. Alexander
makes oath that he was buncoed out of $40 in a certain
joint' in this city, and that the police authorities did
not exert themselves as they should have done to re-
cover his money and round up the men that had heeced
him, The Post came across Mr.. Alexanders statement
in the report Of Mondays council proceedings and gave
it space in connection with what was printed Of them,
and that's all there is about it.
That Chief of Police Blackburn has been disturbed
by the publication of Mr.. Alexander's affidavit is not
to be doubted. The giving of details in cases of this
kind, especially when the offense COMMITTEES is as fire..
quent as 1t is fragrant, is not calculated to contribute
to the peace of mind of those whose duty It is to pre-
vent a recurrence thereof.
Challenging The Post, through newspapers, to pro-
duce facts to sustain Mr.. Alexander's charge will not
help matters,
Mr.. Alexander was robbed; there is no dispute over
that. Mr.. Alexander was robbed in a locality in which
it is unsafe, within the knowledge of the police, for a
tenderfoot to wander; we're all agreed on that score.
The question is, therefore, why does Chief Black.
burn tolerate the presence of bunco men in such To-
calities2
He certainly must know that they congregate and
operate there.
At all events, his policemen know it. for there are
always two or three of them in the nelghborhood. judg.
ing from their readiness to tell how it all happened
after the victim has been feeced ana the heecers have
escaped.
No amount of calling upon The Post to back up Mr.
Alexander with facts can divert attention from the
abuses which have made his complaint possible. His
case is by no means an isolated one.
Every citizen OF Houston who takes sufficient inter.
est in his surroundings to keep tab on what goes on
here knows that the police walk around and away from
violations of the law day after day. Any man of aver
age perception can. without walking himself to death
stumble upon enough resorts of shady, not to say dan
gerous, character in this city to occupy the attention
of the police for some time, were it turned in the prop
er direction.
If Chief Blackburn does not like affdavits of the
kind made by Mr.. Alexander, he can easily remove the
cause. A moderate exercise OF judgment and a Judi
cious display of nerve would be sufficient to do it.

THE PAN.AMERlcAN coNoREss.

The -Pan-American Congress was formally opened
Tuesday afternoon in the City of Mexico. Hon. Ignacio
Mariscal, the minister of foreign relations, made the
address of welcome and outlined the purposes of the
congress. The address of Minister Mariscal was an
swered by Izaac Alzamora, the vice president of Peru.
Genaro Raigosa. the chairman OF the Mexican delega-
ton, was elected acting president of the congress, and
the delegates then proceeded in a body to the presiden-
tal suite, where they We're presented to President Diaz.
At night the delegates and their families were the
guests Of President and Mrs. Diaz in the presidential
suite of the National palace,
The hall OF sessions of the National palace has
been deliberately fitted up and decorated for the SEES
sions of the congress. The style is that of the first en-.
pire, and no expense has been spared to attain a great
degree Of magnihcence. There is tapestry of green silk
embroidered with gold; the ceiling and door frames are
Of cream and gold stucco; the doors and windows arc
of carved mahogany ornamented with rilded bronze;
the hall is brilliantly Illuminated throughout with cleo,
trio lights.
The representative from Chile, as reported in the
London Times. stated that, if the principle Of the retro
active application of arbitration is not excluded from
the congress, Chile will withdraw. This is on account
of the two provinces OF Peru held by Chile that she
wishes to continue TO hold by force, which she is strong
enough to do, rather than submit her doubtful right to
arbitration. What the congress win do in this regard
remains to be seen.
1t is unfortunate that the Chilean representative
should have taken this stand. 1t is to ne hoped he can
be persuaded out Of it. Much good can be accom-.
plished by the congress by the fullest discussion of ar
bitration, which is needed not only with regard to the
case Of Chile and Peru, but still more urgently in the
case of Venezuela and Colombia, between which states
all sorts of trouble has recently been brewing
Much good can be expected from the second inter.
national conference of American states. Such coming
together is bound 10 make for the prosperity of all of

could be followed by the holding of a Pan-European
congress. and then by a congress Of the nations OF the
world called together to act in a closer fraternal spirit
than the recent peace conference at The Hague.
