JOHN g. WISE.

John S. Wise. an aged lawyer of New
Y Ork, has taken the case of the Vir-
ginia negroes who we're disfranchised
by the recent constitutional convention.
He has brought the matter up trying
to keep the Congressmen who have just
been elected from receiving their cleo
ton certificates. His colleagues are
two negroes LAWYERS. John 8. Wise
had almost disappeared from public
view. He bartered his birthbright as
a Virginia Democrat for mess of pot
tage. He estrauged bis friends of bis
native State aid then removed to New
York. He was talented man and his
friends heard of him through the press
but word drifted through private chan
nels that the man that had been un
true to his native state was suffering
from actual want in the great city oil
New York. Then Virginia held it,
great constitutional convention an6
the brainiest men of the State met
and took action that was watched by
the whole civilized world. John s
Wise in bis garrett in New York took
no part it this work. He had been un
true to the friends his birth had secur
ed him.
Afterthe election he came forth from
his dark and lonely hiding place to joir
two negro lawyers in thwarting the
will of his native State. II John S
Wise had served his friends as we'll a:
he served the Republican party they
would not have deserted him in his
old age.

than 100000 for the accommodation of
what is expected to become great trans
Pacific trade. A very large roundhouse
and repair and railway shops are now
under way and water front improvements
are to be made during the summer. The
road has secured "a large cash bond of
all users of it's property lying for about a
mile along the west side of Rice'S Point

harbor, giving additional room for tracks,
warehouses and freight sheds. 1t will
rebuild all it's enormous terminal track
age now covering the west side of the
point, and enlarge it by new terminals.
Ultimately it is expected to put in docks
the entire length of the point, arranging
them in slips so that there will be six
or seven miles of improved frontage. Two
of these slips nearest the uptown end
of the point, will be improved this year.
This work is being done largely with
view to the expected increase OF oceanic

merchandise for and from Asia, China,

TEXAS and TANK CARS.

Howard R. Hughes, q noted engineer
and oil expert. was recently interviewed
by the New Orleans Picayune on the
shortage Of tank cars. "Just now" said
Mr. Hughes, there is such a demand for
tank cars from the Southern Pacific that
they cannot be supplied, and the COM
pany's efforts to supply some of the large
suit on the part of small producers Tor
their failure to supply cars to them, when
the fact is that most Of them are not In
position to demand cars.
There Is no doubt that these matters
will he attended to as time passes, be-
cause the enormous values now lying 1dle
in oil at Beaumont cannot long remain
so. The oil is there as fact, the de-
mand exists as another fact and the i'm
mediate fact of its distribution must soon
assume it's proper relations to the two.
