NEW ORLEANS AND THE scALPERs.


The failure of the antiscalping bill in the Louis
lana legislature may we'll be considered slap in the
face for the people New Orleans for according TO
the accounts given of the manner in which the Dill
lost out the members of the house from that city
contribut - the defeat. Inasmuch as the scalplns
bill was sss1sed by the combined business organza
lions of the Crescent City, and pressed by them as
a necessary safeguard to the trade and commerce
of that community. it seems more than passing
strange that the men who might readily be supposed
to foster and support any measure which conserved
the best interests OF their constituents should set
themselves against the measure.
In connection with the entire proceedings, and the
possibility of retaliation the part OF the Northern
railway systems connecting with the lines entering
New Orleans it is solacng to the citizens OF Texas
that they are not entirely dependent upon the New
Orleans gateway the matter of low rates from the
agricultural sections of the Northeast West and Mid
6so West. The possibility that the roads may in
crease their hoeseekes and other special rates now
made to read and via New Orleans, will act deri-
mentally to the best interests of that city and OF
Louisiana and at the time prevent ngress
through that gateway the areas of this State, a
contingency which would be deplorable were it not
for the fact that have other channels of communi
cation and travel

ROOSEVELT AS LOBBYIST.
Using His Influence for Passage OF
the irrigation Bill.

Washington, June Is. - President
Roosevelt is using his influence in every
possible way TO secure the enactment of
the irrigation bill into law at the pres
ent session OF congress. His interest
in the measure has been such that he
has had a number of conferences with
senators and representatives in which
he urged upon them the necessity for
such a law. representative Mondell,
of Wyoming, SAW him today and at his
request the president wrote a personal
letter to Chairman Cannon, of the
house committee on appropriations in
which he strongly expressed his views
on the subject, and INDUCED the hope
that early and favorable action would
be taken. Upon leaving the White house
Mr.. Mondell sdiu that the president had
been of vast hCip to the irrigation
cause, and WIS himself confident that
the bill drawn by the joint committee
of western senators and members would
pass.

The COnfc1erates and Beers.

Thirty-seven years have passed since
the close of the civil war, but the south
honors the heroes who died for the con-
federacy as greatly now as when Me-
mortal day was first Instituted. a peo-
pie without monuments, it has been apt
ly said. is a people without history. A
people which does not cherish the MEM
DRY of it's heroes is ] people without
gratitude, incapable of approaching
valor, loyalty and self-sacr1ice. The
southern people have always placed an
exalted estimate upon men willing 10
die for their convictions. They always
honor the confederate soldier. They may
become new in some things, but it
will ever remain the "old" South in its
admiration of the nobi qualities dis
played by the followers of Lee and
Jackson.
The civil war lasted four years When
1T ended with the surrender OF General
Robert Z. Lee at Appomattox the army
of northern Virginia, as grand a body
OF fighting men as ever under
the flag of any nation, consisted or a
few thousand poorly clad, half starved
warriors. But the fighting spirit was
there. If the influence Of General Lee
had not been exerted for peace, if he
had advised the continuance of the con-
flict. the war might have been Waged
for an indefinite period. Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams, Of Boston, has made
this fact very clear in a recent publlca-
ton. General Lee. Mr.. Adams we'll
says, is entitled to the gratitude of the
American people for deciding to end the
war at AppomattoX. In making this de-
cision the confederate leade was actu-
ated by a spirit Of noble humanity. If
he had counseled war the southern peo-
pie would have followed him to the last
extremity, and what the Consequence
would have been no main can tell. Lee
the peacemaker was an
as Lee the soldier.
Since the southern flag was furled IN
glory, even in defeat the world mas

Dutch farmers of South Africa. An
other cause has been submitted to the
arbitrament Of arms and adJudlcated q
lost cause The Beers fought Tor
two years and seven months before
they yielded. The Southern C~onfederacy
gave UP the struggle after years of des-
perate fighting in which the losses on
both sides were StupendouS. The caSu-
alties sustained by the British in the
most hotly contested battle Of the Boer
war did not exceed $500 killed and
wounded. At Gettysburg g, during the
civil war, the casualties on both sides
aggregated about 10000. In the Wilder
nsss' the slaughter was indeScribable
Never before on the American continent
had there been such a prodlgal waste OF
human life. Compared with the great
battles of the civil war, the plooolest
engagements in the Anglo-boer cohnlc'
seem scarcely more than sklrmlshes.
But this does not reflect upon the IN
vincible courage of the Dutch farmers.
Their fight for independence mas
brought them impecishable glory
