The press Of the state should
keep the poll tax amendment be-
fore the people. 1t is wise
measure and should receive the
support Of all good citizens. Any
man who is not perfectly willing
to contribute as much as a small
poll tax toward the support Of the
government should not be allowed
to have any say.so in its affairs

FRIDAY, AUGUST %, 1902
MADE THEM HARD TO CATCH.

ON the yeranda Of prominent
hotel in Cameron Wednesday after
noon a brainless drummer from
beyond the Mason and Dixon s
imaginary line made the assertion
that there were no chaste girls in
Texas. The news swept over the
small city like fire in a powder
mill; outraged men rushed to and
fro in search Of the cowardly mis-
creant; the town was plunged into
a. dproar. Officers secured the
inhuman and unnamable wretch
and escorted him to the city limits,
while they fought back an angry
mob Of incensed men anxious to
lash the british viper naked
through the county.

diyidual intended stopping over

Quite an amusing incident &C.
Cured at the Cotton Belt depot
last Thursday just prior to the ar
rival of the southbound passenger
train. A New York clothing
drummer had made some very un-
complimentary remarks regarding
the purity of southern women and
and the equality Of the races, and
had, during the morning addressed
these remarks to the young dry
goods clerks Of the city. The re-
marks being repeated to several
sitizens, caused indignation, and
i was agreed that a committee
wait upon him before his departure
and have him apologize, Accord
ingly a small crowd gathered at
the depot as stated and in the
course Of a very few minutes Mr..
Drummer was on his knees making
al kinds Of apologies and swearing
never to- act so ungentlemanly
again. To close the incident and
allow him to depart in peace, he
politely signed his name to a docu-
ment retraoting the statement, and

democratic party has always favored our
access to the markets of the world. The
republican tariff helps to shut those mar
kets against us. What has been said of cot
ton growing and cotton manufacturing is
relatively true of southern coal and pig
iron, both of which have outgrown home
consumption. The oil gushers' of Texas
certainly need no protection"
The simple truth is that the manu-
featuring industries of the south are
almost wholly of the classes that suf-
fer from "overproduction' and for
which the world markets are being
sought by intelligent manufacturers.
They are out of the reach of compe-
tition. The manufactures of the
north cannot compete with them or
they would not have been estab-
lished, and the manufactures of for
eien countries cannot compete with
the manufactures of the north or
we should not be exporting manufac-
tured goods as we do. What the
south needs is markets.

will be seen that the steamship COM
panies can afford to be generous.
When they are making profits rang
ing from 500 to 10000 per cent. upon
their mai carrying business it would
seem almost grasping for them to ask
for the full legal rates. 1t would be
more seemly and more in keeping
with their generosity to get a law
passed whereby they can make 10000
per cent. on the government business
n still not exact the full legal rate.
Undoubtedly the law of 1891 needs re-
vision, but the revision planned by Mr..
Frye, whereby the existing steamship
companies will be able to mulct the
government still more for their
meager services will not meet with an
enthusiastic reception by the people.

PROSPECT OF A DEFICIT.
republican Operations Seem to In.
dictate Another Attack of Hard
Times Grip.

The statement of receipts and ex.
penditures for February hardly sup.
ports the assumption of the republican
measure cutting off $77, 000, 900 of rev,
enue that this amount can be shared
| n the presence of the contemplated in
crease in the expenditures in various
directions without creating a deficit.
says the Chicago Chronicle.
As compared with February. 1901.
there was an increase of ST. SOC. 600 in
customs receipts, while there was a de.
crease of SO, 500, 900 in internal revenue
and of S2,500,000 from miscellaneous
sources.
At the same time there was a small
increase in the expenditures. The ex-
cess OF receipts over expenditures for
the month was 50, o00, 449, against &c.
963,4s7 for the same month last wear,
What with the big river and barbor
log-roll, the outlay for the Danish
lslets, the contemplated expenditures
for an isthmian canal and a pac;6c
cable, the shipping grab and various
other things, there would seem to be
an excellent prospect for a deficit.
Republican brethren will please bear
IN mind that a few years ago they were
telling us that the cause of hard times
was insufficient taxation and a conse.
quent deficit in the treasury.
Are they deliberately operating to
give us another attack of the hard
times gripP

PROFITABLE PHILANTHROPY.
Bow the Steamship Companies Would
Mulct the Government
the Subsidy Scheme.

In his report on the ship subsidy bill,
Mr. Fryelays greatstress uponthe gen.
crosby of steamshipcompanies in on
tracting with the government for car
rying the mails. He says:
'In fact. wherever the act of 1891 has
worked successfully. the steamship com
panies have offered and the postmaster gen.
eral has obtained more favorable terms
for the government than those fixed as the
maximum under the law. Thus on the re-
newal of the five-year contract with the
New York and Cuba Mail, the company Of
fered for the service at the one-dollar rate
several which comply with the
require ments of the two-dollar class. The
Admiral line is furnishing under its ten
year contract 15-kno steel steamers at the
pay fixed for 12-knot wooden steamers.
The Oceanic contract is performed by
steamers a knot in speed and 1000 tons in
size above the requirements"
This makes the steamship companies
appear as philanthropic institutions.
On further examination we find that
the government is paying the New
York and Cuba Mail $201. 07S for carry
ing 1895 pounds of letters and 30,S64
pounds of printed matter, or at an av-
erage rate of $6.12 per pound. The
same service, if performed at non
contract rates by American vessels
would have cost SIG per pound for
letters and eight cents per pound for
othermatter, at a total cost of S 1861 IL.
If performed by foreign vessels the
rates would have been A cents for let
tiers and Az cents for printed matter,
making a total cost of 50, 266.6s. AS the
steamship company is getting $685.
s12.32 for performing no service at
all, their offer does not appear quite SO
magnanimous. The Admiral line re-
ceived last year S117,49O for perform
ing a service worth se,911.s3 at com
petitive rates. The Oceanic company
will get in future 1888, 2s3 for a service
worth $s,432.7s. From these figures it

HELD VALID
Ruling Against the Union Traction
Company, of Chicago, by
Judge Ball.
IT INVOLVES A MATTER OF TRANSFERS.
The Court Holds That the Munfc1t
pality Has the Legal Right 10
Regulate street Car Fares-The
Case VIII Go to the state Sup
premc Court.

Chicago, March 19.-Judge Ball, in
the circuit court, entered a ruling in
which he holds as valid the city ord
nance compelling the Union Trac-
ton Co. to issue transfers on all its
lines and systems. The Union Trac-
ton Co., among other things, was
formed chiefly for the purpose of OPP
Chicago and the North Chicago street
railways-two distinct systems. If
sustained, Judge Balls ruling will al
low a passenger to travel from the
West Side limits to the terminus of
the North Side line on the payment
of one fare, where two had been paid
before. incidentally, the court holds
that the municipality has the legal
right to regulate street fares. The
case will go to the supreme court.
As it is said to be impossible for the
Traction company to secure a stay,
it is asserted that the street railway
companies will violate the ordinance
and fight individual cases in the low
err courts till the upper court has
acted on the %soundness of Judge
Balls ruling. Judge Ball also ruled
that the Union Traction Co. and the
Consolidated Traction Co. (the for
mer operates the latter under a
l%ease), are practically company,
and one company must recognize the
transfers of the other; and that q
five-cent fare to all points within the
city limits shall be the maximum
fare. Hitherto, citizens of Austin
and northwestern suburbs, which,
while many miles from the center of
the city, are still within the corpo-
rate limits, have been paying two
fares-one to the feeders" of the
Consolidated Co.. and another to the
Union Traction Co., which completes
the routes to the city.
