Handsome Passenger Trains.

The Texas Midland Railroad enjoys
the distinction Of possessing the most
luxuriously equipped day trains west Of
the Mississippi, and probably with few
equals in any sections Of the country,
The principal trains, consisting of mail.
baggage and express cars, day coaches,
reclining chair cars and cafe cars, are
striking models Of the car builder s
art and are exceedingly well ar
ranged and decorated. The full trains
harmonic in color and finishing, and
are compactly vestibuled from end to
end, each platform being completely
covered with rubber, mats and well
lighted, forming an avenue the full
length OF the train. The leading color
is pleasing shade of green, inside and
out, with rich cathedral glass ventila-
tors and heavy plate glass windows.
The reclining-chalrs and seats are up
hostered in velvet plush and the smok-
ing compartments and toilet rooms are
equipped with leather-covered high
back seats The inside finishing Is in
flemished oak, with full width French
bevel mirrors at each end, and the
floors are covered with Wilton carpets,
the whole blending into delicate and
attractive shade Of green, One Of the
most interesting features Is the ease
with which the windows are adjusted
by simply pressing spring without
the Juggling and profanity usually
necessary in such operations The
trains are brilliantly lighted by a new
system Of acetylene gus, arranged in
clusters of shaded globes, aud are
heated at an even temperature by steam
The automatic slack adjustors and air
and steam couplers and brakes ARE Of
the most approved pattern and insure
absolute safety at high speed, The
elegant cafe car service is probably the
clief attraction, food in any quantity

Both Sides Against Ii.

From the Arkansas Democrat
1t is now practically certain that the
anti-saloon league Of the state, which
embraces most Of the prominent prohl-
bitionists in Arkansas, is against the
dispensary system in all its phases.
The prohibitionists claim that the en-
actment Of such law would annul
what they have accomplished in this
state after years of arduous labor, that
it would not only legalize the sale OF
liquor in prohibition districts, but make
the dispenser an officer or agent of the
state government. They will never
agree to such measure and will fight
it from the start
Strange to say, the liquor interests Of
the state are also against the dispensary
system. 1t would naturally put those
who are now in the business out of it,
and force new arrangement from be-
ginning to end. The saloons Of Arkan-
sas are u powerful agency WITHIN them
selves. With the saloons and the anti
Saloon League both cooperating to
defeat "A measure, what chance has 1t
for success in the Arkansas legislatures
Not only do the saloons Of the state
object to the law, but we are told that
the large wholesale houses Of other sec
tions that have a valuable patronage in
this state are also ready to fight the
measure. 1t is said that in some Sec
tons of the country money has been
freely expended in the effort to defeat
similar measure. The Democrat
will take n pleasure in watching this
proposed measure and will apprise the
public of its progress.

SEPARATE TAX.
Proposed Law for the Division Of
School Tax by Races.
From the Little Rock Democrat

From the Little Rock Democrat
One of the many interesting fights
that will come mp in the Legislature ut
this session will be the proposed mea
sure for the separation of the school tax
between the white and colored races, as
the same is paid by them The bill will
be introduced in the senate by Senator
Jobe Of Hampstead, and in the house by
Representative p. +. Chappell of
Nevada There will be opposition to
the measure as strong as the support,
and "a result the issue is mat
ter of considerable speculation. With
a democrat reporter yesterday eve
ming Mr.. Chappell discussed the matter
as follows
THE prOportionate amount of the
taxes paid by the white and the colored
races Of the state is IS for the white and
Is for the colored, while the proper
tionate population is 80 for the white
and 40 for the colored. 1t is an evident
injustice to tax the white property own
er to pay for the education of the col
ored children, and it is our purpose to
devise some means whereby this in
equality can be remedied. The tax
paid by the white people should go to
the education Of the white children and
the tax paid by the colored people
should go to the education Of the col
ored children 1t is not evident that
the money expended by the white race
for the education of the colored is bene-
fitting them very much. They are not
gaining anything from letting someone
else pay for their schools 1t would be
better to put them on their own re.
sources and then they would have an
impetus to advance. Our plan is to
create general fund to run three
months schools for white and cOlored
alike in special and common districts
with the provisions that each race may
then vote upon themselves tax for the
purpose of running separate schools
This would obviate the question Of the
constitutionality Of the law and should
make 1t satisfactory TO all concerned
who would look upon the matter from
an unbiased standpoint. | made my
campaign on the proposition, and my
election is evidence that the people favor
the idea, The argument that the seq
regation Of the school tax would be con-
timed through the denominations and
other classes is specious and will not
bear analysis. The same thing was
said Of the superintendent law, and the
result has beel SO satisfactory that it
would mean political suicide for any
legislator to oppose 1t.

The Indian0la Affair.
Very truly,
JOHN HINEMON

Supt. Hinemon, state superintendent
Of public instruction, on his return
Monday from attending meeting Of
the Southern and General Educational
board, among other matters talked Of
the Indianola affair, which has attract
ed 50 much attention in the South, as
follows:
The appointment of negro post
mistress In Mississippi and the appoint
ment of negro collector Of the port Of
Charleston, S. c.. seems to be regarded
by the people Of the North as a very
grave error on the part of President
Roosevelt Various metropolitan dailies
have spoken in unmeaSured condemna'
ton Of the appointments.
Speaking of the Indianola incident,
the indianapolis daily Sentinel said :;
Pres Roosevelt has succeeded in firing
the Southern heart by his insistence
on colored postmistress in Indianola,
Miss. What is surprising is that he has
appointed so few negro postmasters in
Indiana or any other Northern state.
He is missing great opportunity.
These and similar utterances from
leading papers and prominent men seem
to show that the president action does
not meet with the approval OF the
North, and it i. believed that the whole
thing will result In n boomerang, and
that it may react terribly against the
president among the conservative people
Of the North.
