Let the People Say.

/ -CN AiC FSOPiC Gay
The Palestine Herald, which is very
close to the next governor, has this
to say, and by putting two and two
together it shows very plainly that
the straws indicate which way the
wind is blowing:
1t is fully recognized that the polit-
ical situation in Texas just at this
time is very acute, and the leaders of
the Democratic party recognize the
necessity Of doing something to pre-
vent the disruption of the party. 1t
is agreed by the most conservative
and by those who have the interest
of the party at heart more than they
have the success of any individual,
that to presrve harmony the general
clamor for a resubmission of the Bal
ley matter to a vote of the Democrats
of the State is necessary, and for
that reason pressure is being brought
on members of the State executive
committee to order another election.
On the subject this committee is d.
vided.
1t is pointed out that to drag this
matter before the legislature for in
vestigation is going to endanger the
very life of the Democratic party, as a
split is almost sure to follow. 1t is
argued that if Bailey loses out that
side will bolt, and that If Bailey and
his crowd win the other side will bolt
Be that as it may, it is certain to re-
suit in political differences that can
not be patched up in a long time.
The safest thing to do is to resubmit
the whole question to a vote of those
who participated in the last primary
election.

come by the united effort of the con-
sumers. Of course, such an organiza-
ton would not be expected to take
up the more insignificant commodi-
ties and by litigation attempt to adj
just the rates therefor. That would
be too troublesome and too expen-
sive; but it could single out a few
of the most important commodities,
such as meat, flour, grain and coal,
and see to it that the charges for
those articles are such as are fixed
by Interstate Commerce-reasonab
and just.
Some might think it the duty of
the merchants to undertake this mat
ter; but the merchants, as such, are
no more interested in either high or
low freight-rates than any other con-
sumer. 1t is the consumer who ulti-
mately pays all freight-rates, and 1t
is his duty to join in the effort to
protect the rights given him by law.

THE SCARE Is OVER
Secretary Shaw Listens to Advice of
Outside Bankers, and Leaves New
York AIarmists to Work Out Their
Own Devices.

New York, Jan. 6.-The Tribune
Schiff's panic speech at the Cham
Der of Commerce on Thursday, in
which he said that he had tried in
vain to induce Secretary Shaw to
come to the aid of the financial situ-
alton here, it developed yesterday
that Secretary Shaw was advised in
the opposite direction by two sets
of powerful fnanciers here. One
group, headed by the National City
Bank, of which James Stillman is
president, and which has close f1nan-
cial relations with the Rockefellers,
Kuhn-Loeb and E. H. Hartman, tried
every means to have the Secretary
deposit government funds here. The
other, including the First National
Bank, of which George F. Baker is
Hill in it's directorate, the Chase Ma
tional whose president is A. B. Hep
burn, the Liberty National and the
Rock Island group of capitalists
came out squarely for home rule.
The latter group had the backing
of bankers in other large cities, who
said that the commercial interests
were not suffering, and that the gov
ernment should not feel called upon
to help out lot of Wall street spec
ulators. Secretary Shaw took this
course, and in view of the easter
rates yesterday, the representatives
of the party named said they had
been entirely vindicated.
