THE GOOD TINE COMING.

1t is only question of time,
and apparently short time now,
when, not only Brownsville will
have a railroad. but when this en-
tire lower Rio Grande valley, from
Laredo to the mouth of the river,
will be supplied with ample rail
facilities, either by the construction
of branch lines to Hidalgo and Rio
Grande, or by the realization of the
long talked of picket Line road
from Laredo to the mouth of the
river. There is room in this region
for several railroads and for several
cities of considerable Importance.
Each of the counties of Cameron,
Hidalgo and Star has hundreds of
thousands of acres of the choicest
alluvial so situated as to be easily
irrigable either from the river or by
wells When developed, this valley
will be capable of sustaining an
enormous population and will easily
lead the entire state in the produc-
tiOn of sugar, rice, corn, cotton and
garden truck. Not only have we
the richest soil in the state, mildest
climate, both winter and summer,
especially in this the Brownsville
country, of any part of the state
Capital has already begun to flow
into this rich region. Probably con-
siderably more than quarter mil
lion dollars has been expended in
Cameron and Hidalgo counties the
past year or two in land and irriga-
ton enterprises And this is only
the beginning The railroad will
put the finishing touch to our
budding prosperity, and the re-
mainder OF the state is going to be
amazed at the rapid progress and |
development of this region.

A Genealogical Contriysnce.

Pattie Willins Gee of New York
has contrived a system Of keeping
family records which will be of in
terest to gensalogists. 1t consists
of a number of tablets, hexagonal in
form, and connected with one an
other with links. The first tablet
is inscribed with the name of the
founder of the family; to this is
linked another lab-led with the
name of the eldest son, while other
children aTs represented by other
tablets attached to ether angles of
the hexagon or to its sides. If de-
sired a e7-d system can be con-
nested with ~ record, each tablet
bearing a nurnDer referring to the
volume and page On which the his
tory of the individual in question
may be found.

Senator Tillman and his equally hot
headed colleague. The attitude or the
Charleston business men, however.
should weigh heavily with the chief
executive since it is they who have
dealings with the collector of the Gus
toms. It would seem that the first
consideration in such a matter should
be the capable administration of the
office. This certainly could best be
accomplished by a man in harmony
with and satisfactory to the merchants
of Charleston. The attitude of the
president, while speaking we'll for his
courage, does not indicate a stand
based upon altruism but upon a play"
for votes.
Every thinking man, regardless of
politics, hopes for and will vote for
any measure which in his judgment
will help the negro upward. But in
South Carolina, particularly, it is sure
ly true that the choice of Crum in the
teeth of a bitter prejudice will only
arouse the whites against the negroes
politically and vice versa. Wherein
this will benefit the black man it is
difficult to see. The president should
receive a second and more emphatic
reversal from the senate.

ANOTHER DENIAL.

With reference to the use of his name
as a presidential candidate, Senator
Hanna is quoted in press telegram
as follows: Il announced right after
the Ohio election last week that my
attitude was not modified by the out
come of the campaign. l was not
candidate before election and l am
not a candidate now and will not be-
Whatever criticisms may be made at
Mr. HannaS expense, the fact remains
that Uncle Mark" as his friends call
him. is a man whose word is as good
as his bond. Every reason exists for
believing the interview authentic. Ac-
cordingly, it appears that the public
safely may go on the assumption, just
as before Hanna and Herrick piled up
such a majority in Ohio, that Roose-
Welt will be the next republican nomi-
nee.
Beyond a doubt powerful influences
are pressing upon the Ohio senator
to break faith with the president, re-
treat upon his previous assurances of
nomination. Many business cOmmuni-
ties look upon Roosevelt as unsafe"
southern republicans are bitter against
him. labor looks askance. In all of
these quarters, Hanna stands high.
Consequently the effort to boom him
is a natural and logical thing.
Democracy is as we'll able and pre-
pared to meet the one man as the
other. That is not so much the ques-
ton. Interest in the future Of these
two men is rather romantic than po-
litical Roosevelt is the man born with
that splendid asset-a luck star; first
police commissioner in New York, then
assistant secretary of the navy, then
lifted intOi prominence through his
Rough Riders and the Spanish war,
elected governor of New York by the
skin of his teeth" side tracked by be-
ing showed into the vice presidency;
and finally given the reins, hustled into
power by the tragic stroke of fate by
which President Mckinley received a
death wound at Buffalo. Hanna's ca
reer has in it little of this spectacu-
lar quality. AS a business man he
worked and worked hard; in politics
he earned prominence by his natter
of-fact push" and persistence; he has
been behind the scenes for years
while others have had their names on
the tickets.
Shall ROOseVelt's star continue in
the ascendant? 1t would seem so since
Hanna, about the only man in his
party who towers above him, persists
in boosting him along.

EMOLUMENTS PREFERRED.

The members of the fifty eighth and
fifty ninth congresses are confronted
with an almost Irresistible temptation,
and there is a remote possibility that
one of their honorable body may sue
Cumb, unless effectual preventives be
brought forward. An institute offers
to erect monument in Kansas for the
senator or representative who will de-
liver the best speech in favor of a re-
duction of the salaries of members of
congress.
Many of the congressman are, no
monuments. and they should not be
reminded of anything grave While they
are III session. Nor should matters
concerning futurity, even by suggestion,
be referred to with another election
fomenting. But a proposition to erect
Il monument in Kansas, the geographic
cal center of the United States, is an
affair extraordinary and a reward for
which a respectable equation seeking
legislator might pleasantly surrender

very highest station.
The only objection to the proposition
is that the salaries of public officials
are as low already as they ought to
be, and probably lower than is consist
ent with public welfare. If a speech
in favor of reduction should, by chance
be introduced into the Congressional
Record, there would be an inducement
for a sudden rise in Doodle quotations
and the donors of the monument
should know that the public is nausea
ted in this regard as a consequence OF
| the departmental scandals in Washing

to the speech and even 10 a monument

and representatives may be for immOr-
tai fame and less compensation.

opinion by declaring in favor Of in.

GERS and legislators. Low salaries de-
grade the public service. Competent
men will not work for pleasure alone,
and, unless they are both wealthy and
patriotic. they will not labor without
compensation. Since wealthy men are
rare in the role of self-sacrifcing pa
triots who are relatively poor as there
are patriots who are rich, public inte-
rests should be benefited by increases,
rather than reductions, in salaries.
The association might reverse its prop
osition. Then there would be a great
er probability that few good, bril-
liant, forceful speeches would be de-
liVered.

In justice to President Roosevelt it
should be said that later evidence
tends to disprove the charge that he
took an active part in fomenting the
Panama revolution. Information given
to the press shows that in preparing
his annual message to congress Just
before the Panama uprising the presi-
dent advocated the right of the Unit
ed States to take forcible possession of
the right Of way for canal across the
isthmus under the treaty of 1916. That
