THE Caller rejoices Justify over
ehe good news wired the Corpus
Christi Board of Trade by Con
gressman Garner to the effect that
an appropriation of 100000 for
Aransas Pass harbor is assured,
and also that an appropriation for
Turtle Cove is certain to be male,
while that part of the intercoastal
canal between Arkansas Pass has a
GOOD chance. Things seem to have
been coming Corpus christi's way
for some time. Deep water at
Arkansas Pass means deep water
for Corpus Christi also. and will
insure its future greatness beyond
all doubt. THE HERALD con-
graduates the good people of the
Bluff City upon their bright pros
poets. It can be said truly that
there is no prettier site for a sea-
side city.

Work Out Your Salvation.

This year will be pretty nearly
what you make of it. If you start

for you. Resolve to do your best
during the year and refuse to COM
plain if everything fails to go to
your exact liking.

THURSDAY. AUGUST 20, 1907.

Governor Magoon is about to pro- mitigate in Cuba, with the approval of the president and the secretary of war, decree creating a national bu- reau of sanitation which shall have power to prescribe and enforce sani- tary regulations throughout the island. Governor Magoon has found that the local administration of sani- tary matters, which was provided during the former American occupa- tion of Cuba, is not to be relied upon, and to-day the island is threatened with a serious outbreak of yellow fever. Sanitary regulations and pre- cautions are naturally repugnant to the Cubans and the local authorities, either through lack of appreciation of the responsibilities devolving upon them, or through being too amend ble to local influences, have per mitted most unsanitary conditions to exist. It is believed, however, that with a national sanitary board to make the regulations and to enforce them, all further danger can be eliminated. The authority to issue and to enforce this decree, even after the present occupation of Cuba shall have ceased, is found in section 5 of the Platt amendment.

says one writer. Congress has given the interstate commerce commission increased power in the matter of fix ing rates, and more than half of the subsequently two-thirds, in fact have either passed laws or shown a. strong inclination to pass them limit ing the powers and privileges of lines doing business within their limits. What the ultimate effect of all the re- strictions enacted or impending will be upon the usefulness and prosper ity of the roads is most uncertain The general plea of the railway otii- clals against government restrictions is that if enforced the net earnings of the lines affected wills be reduced. Lower freight and passenger rates cut down earnings. and higher priced la" Dor and materials increase expenses. Economies hamper the service and lead to public complaints. It is well for all concerned that the railriads test the new laws in the courts. The situation will be clearer when the railway officials know the limit of gov ernment power and the farthest reach of the arm of the law in regulating" private interests. It is, pretty plain that retaliation and reprisal on the part of the roads will defeat the end in view. Tactics of that nature have gone unrebuked in the past. but in the present state of the public mind they will only make bad matter worse
 Retaliation is certain to breed antag- onism. A frank and candid policy
 especially if it shall prove that ad- verse legislation is oppressive to the point of suppression, will the surest lead to peace. The people have sense. They have been the best frinds of the railroads and will be glad to have it appear that the lines under fire are still worthy of confidence and support as private corporations.

The manufacture of cigars and cig- arettes is one of the few factory in- dustries that are represented in every state and territory. The production ranges in value from S9.310, reported for the state of Mississippi, to S60.- 623,617, reported for New York. The production in New York represents in value 2s.3 per cent of the total pro- duction (s214, ,3J0.O5D of the United States. There were four other states for which the reported value of prod ucts exceeded s10,WOOo0. These states, with the value of product. were as follows: Pennsylvania, 39,07o. l22; Florida. s16.7e4,2 ,2T6; Ohio, s13,24l.- 230: and Illinois. s1I ,669.4s5. As compared with the census of 1900 a very noteworthy increase in the value of product is shown for the state of New Jersey. in which the production increased from S2.64T,595 for 1900 to  ss331.6 .611 in 1905. This increase was due chiefly to the establishment of q number of large cigar factories. most of which were owned by one large corporation As result. New Jef- sey advanced from the twelfth place in 1900 to the sixth place at the cen sus of 1905. The production of chew ing and smoking tobacco and snufY is confined to a smaller number of states than that of cigars and ciga- rettes.

Only one thing seems absolutely certain about the strike of the tele- graph operators, and that is that the public is getting the .wc"st of it, says a Washington writer. The telegraph is peculiarly a public ser vice corporation. and a strike of the hurry-up lines is much the same thing to the business world as though there should be general tie-up of the postal service. The big telegraph companies will not suffer at all by the strike. It will merely be ques- tion with them of paying a few dol lars less in dividends, and the off, cials will not eat meal less or smoke a cigar the poorer. The op- orators and their families may suf- fer a little, considerably, perhaps. if they lose. But the business world will suffer great deal and the whole trade of the country will be hurt. Whether the demands of the striking operators are just or not, it Is hard to say. The issue has not been clearly defined by either side. Both have indulged in the generalities of man who. is not quite sure oc his case. But both the operators and the companies may be sure of one thing, and that is that they are driv- ing the long suffering public nearer to government ownership by their family row. Of course there is no immediate prospect of such solu- tion of the difficulty, but every dis pute between labor and capital in which the public is hurt drives that public nearer to experimenting q remedy that may or may not be worse than the disease.

TO REBUILD ST PATRIcK's.
: To Have Three New Altars. Marble
 Floors, Remodelled Pews.

7l r.
 St Patrick's cathedral, New York, is to be remodelled in it's interior, and with the splendid new altars and the other gifts which are being made by wealthy Roman Catholics, half a million dollars will have been ex- pended before the transformation is complete.
 It has been the gift of the Lady chapel, by the Kelly family. which cost more than $S00,0OO, which has stimulated the archdiocese to an ef- fort to clear of the small remaining debt on the cathedral and to place it in perfect condition before it's formal, conservation. The movement for the erection of a cathedral was begun fifty years ago, and plans are being made to have the formal cere- mony of conservation as near as pos sible in the nature of a, semi-centen- nial jubilee.
 The altar for the Lady Chapel, which is being made in Italy, Is ex- pected to arrive soon, and there will be no finer example of ecclesiastical art in this country. Its cost Is given as S90,000.
 At the left hand side of the Lady chapel is being erected an altar to St Michael by M. C. Bouvier and his family. The space where the artisans are at work is now screened on by high canvas partitions. John D. Crimmins is to build an altar to st Joseph on the right side of the chap el. It is understood these memorials are being erected at a cost of s5O.0OO each. The Lady chapel will before long be further embellished by stain ed glass windows.
 Spaces between the columns of the church through which worshippers now go from the nave to the Lady chapel are to be enclosed with great screens of bronze which are to be twenty feet in height. Their cost will be about s100.000. Thess screens win serve to make a small auditorium. together with the Lady chapel. when circumstances require it. Near 1t will be new organ which will replace the one which i' at the left side. of the cathedral.
 One oLthe most important changes to be made in the edinee will be q marble floor which will take the place of the wooden one which was put down temporarily when the cathedral was built.
 The present pevs. which have be- gun to look rather foriorn. are to be removed and new ones of approved design will replace them. There will be a resulting economy of space which will add third to the seat. ing capacity of the auditorium. Many of the columns of the cathedral were badly stained in the days of unpro- tected gas jets. and here and there are shades which are Erimy. All the marble in the interior Of the edi- fee Is to be thoroughly cleaned. sc that 1t vilI match the exquisitsly cut stones which oompuse the Lady chapel.
 It is the hope of many of the Cath olies that the task can bs completed h year.
