that they had their invariable difficult
ty with the legislature; for, as origi-
nally drawn, the plan proposed that
two of the commissioners should be
appointed by the governor.
The Galveston plan is simple. -Four
commissioners are elected by the peo-
pie, and these four are the only Of
ficiaIs elected. In these are conferred
all powers-they are mayor, council,
and all the boards put together. They
are responsible to the people, and TO
the people alone. Among these the
administrative work is distributed.
One of them, Mr.. H. P. Landes, is
president of the board, and is, in a
sense, the mayor; another has charge
of the streets and public properties;
another has control Of finances and
revenue; and the fourth of water
works and sewerage. This division
has worked well, and under it Calves
ton is accomplishing it's mighty task.
1t has grown to be a city honestly
and capdbly governed, and the plan
has attracted the attention every
where of men and women interested

The Real NEGRO Problem.

Some people talk as if the repeal
of the fifteenth amendment would get
rid of darkies. It is the physical pres
ence Of the negro that constitutes the
problem. That cannot be too often
repeated and that constituted the
problem even when his status was one
of slavery The physical presence Is
far as l can see, is unavoidable It
cannot be escaped by the deportation
Of The negro race. 1t cannot be es-
capped by the white people moving ont
of the south and leaving the negroes
in possession of the accumulated
fruits Of their intelligence and civil
ization. 1t cannot be escaped by the
determination of either race by the
other. That thought is absolutely hor-
riblc to a good man, a believer III the
divine philosophy Of Jesus Christ, who
taught mutual helpfulness, and not mu
tual hatred to mankind. The races
might be fused by amalgamation-
that is unthinkabIe-and yet while the
darby cannot be removed from the
country he can be gradually, though
not suddenly scattered all over the
country thus relieving the congested
racial condition in the cotton states
diminishing the racial menace every
where and carrying with the negro
himself a knowledge OF the negro
problem TO white men in other parts
of the union.
Negroes are going out and white
men coming in, but We can, by wise
individual and state action, accelerate
it by bringing into the south desirable
white immigrants, thus subjecting the
darby to an industrial competition
which will require him to become
either a more effectual laborer .han he
is now, especially upon the farm, Or
else to leave the field" and go else
where to some sort of Unskilled work
requiring heavy muscular exertion uu-
der the supervising intelligence of the
white man Booker Washington said
that the test for his race would be
whether it should remain or not re-
main the laboring element of the
south | say that that test has al
ready been applied in the minds of all
intelligent men, that the darkv as i
laborer on farm and in factory has
been weighed in the balance and
found wanting He feels it himself
and is seeking the cities-John Share

in the turmoil of battle 1t is the same
with a horse. Five troopers out of six
when struck with q bullet are out OF
their saddles within a minute. If hit
in the breast or shoulder up go their
hands and they. get a heavy fall; if in
the leg, or foot, or arm, they fall for
ward and roll off Even with foot
cut off by a jagged piece of shell a
horse will not drop. 1t is only when
shot through the head or heart that
he comes down. He may be fatally
wounded, but hobbies out Of the fight
to right or left, and stands with droop-
ing head until loss of blood brings him
down. The horse that losses his rider
and is unwounded himself will con-
tinue to run with his set of tours I'M
til some movement throws him out.
Then he goes gaIIOping here and there
neighing with fear and alarm, but he
will not leave the field. In his racing
about he may get amOng the dead and
wounded. but he will dodge
them if possible, and in any case leap
over them. When he has come upon
three or four riderless steeds they fall

protection, and the rally" on tie

The HORSE IN BATTLE.

A veteran cavalry horse partakes
of the hopes and fears of battle just
the same as his rider. AS the column
swings into line and waits, the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. If
the wait is spun out he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensiVe. If
he has been six months in service he
knows every bugle call. AS the call
comes to advance the rider can feel
him working at that bit with his
tongue 10 get it between his teeth. AS
he moves out he will either seek to get
on faster than he should or bolt. He
cannot bolt however. The lines will
carry him forward and after min
ute he will grip, lay back his ears.
and one can feel his sudden resolve
to brave the worst and have done with
it as soon as possible.
A man seldom cries out when hit

cent United States bonds.
The merchants who are opposing
the Aldrich bill believe, therefore,
that it takes a step in the wrong di-
rection, and a step which is useless
and unnecessary. Their position is
that the amount of currency should
be based upon the volume Of business
transactions rather than upon the
output OF bonds. IL Senator Aldricl
had become a secret convert to mu-
nicipaI socialism, they say, he could
not have rendered a greater service
to the cause than he has done in a
quiet way by opening a market for
$500, 100000 Of municipal securities.
Such a market would necessarily
boost the price of bonds and enthusi-
asts on municipal operation could ar
que that their city could afford to
place a loan for municipal projects,
because the government had created
a special market for the bonds as a
basis Of circulation. The merchants
believe that this is an unsafe kind of
financiering, and that municipal
works would not prove a valuable
means Of liquidating notes redeem
able in gold on demand. In other
countries the currency is based upon
commercial paper, with adequate gold
reserves, because that paper repre-
sents transactions in the products of
the country which are going on from
day to day and are liquidated and
concluded by the time the paper be-
comes due.
The majority Of the business men
opposing the senate measure have
united on the Fowler bill as affOrding
the best hope of legislation that will

CITY GOVERNMENT THAT WORKS

CITY GOVERNMENT THAT WORKS
After the terrible flood those men
of Galveston who loved their town
saw at once that in the stupendous
work that lay before them the old
plan would not do; it was, of course,
unwieldy, bungling, inefficient, good
for nothing but a means of furnish
ing certain spoils in the old game OF
party politics. And so, face to face
at last with verities, they set to work
to frame a new government. Now
that the exigencies Of parties and
privilege no longer controlled, now
that they were dealing with a city
city itself, they were not long in dis
covering what they could do without
hey learned the folly of having
boards, and ward boundaries; they
saw that the division Of a city into
wards is a most artificial thing, with
out reason for its being. Cities have
mo such natural divisions; citizens
are not citizens of a ward, but of a
city. and such divisions are good for
nothing but the uses Of party ma
chimes and the big public service cor
porations they invariably represent.
So they did away with wards and
boards and aldermen and other clum-
sy and inefficient bodies, and finally
evolved the commission plan, under
which the people elect four commits
sioners, in whom are centered the
Legislative, administrative, and exec
utive powers OF the city. 1t seers

protests against the passage of the
Aldrich currency bill, presented to
congress by commercial organizations
all over the country during the past
week. indicate that the business men
are becoming interested in the solu-
ton Of the currency problem to
greater extent than ever before. In
the early stages Of the debate on
this subject comparatively little at
tentiOn seemed to be devoted to 1t
except by bankers and fnanciers
whose business is directly concerned
with the money Of the country.
Within the past five weeks, however,
and particularly since the AIdrich
bill passed the senate and came to
the house committee for considera-
ton, there has ben a great awakening
Of interest throughout the country in
this subject and a strong display Of
opposition TO this particular method
Of dealing with the requirements of
the currency situation.
It would seem that the practical
business men Of the country, the mer-
chants and manufacturers, have just
come 10 realize that they have as
much or more at stake in the ques-
ton of the form, volume and security
Of fbe money Of the nation as have
the bankers, bond dealers or Wall
street fnanciers, and that as the chief
sufferers from acute fluctuations in
tho ,.,,rropc,, eunnIv mr. from money
nanice like that Of last October they
have the right to be consulted in the
consideration Of financial legislation.
At any rate they have been making
themselves felt and heard here
during the past few weeks not only
through the delegations and indi-
viduaIs that have appeared before the
currency committee Of the house, but
in the food Of letters, kilograms and
resolutions that has poured in on the
committee and on individual mem
hers Of congress.
Heretofore when currency matters
have been under discussion there
hae bnen . dfsDogiti0n TO leave the
matter 10 some of the big men" in
Wall street who usually have main
tanned that the system is good
enough as it is. They sometimes had
to suspend currency payments under
it. but they always got high rates
for call money during the crop mov-
ing season and they were Iorg-headed
enough to protect themselves against
the breaks in the stock market which
came with tight money.

of tile weather and the attendance at
the Pair. A moderate official estimate
platss the number at not less than 81

cific only on five commodities, wood
pulp, Erint paper lumber, timber and
logs, declaring that the duty on these
should be removed altogether. In view
of the fact that two of these. are ad
mitted duty-free, republicans in the
cloak rooms of the legislative cham
bers are asking democratic members
how they expect to be instructed with
the care of the tariff when they are
so totally ignorant of its measures as
to ask in their national platform for
the removal of tariff on articles on
which there never has been a duty.
1t Il, generally known that the
democratic platform was written at
Fairvisw, Lincoln Neh., by no less a
hand than that of the democratic can
didate for president. Mr.. Bryan has
had much to say on the tariff making
it the paramount question for discus
sion in Iowa. File reiterated the plea
for the removal of the duties on logs
and climber, waxing elo-
quent in picturing the terrible burden
of The tariff. He too appears to have
been woefully ignorant of the present
tariff schedules.
In view Of this fact Judge Smith In
his address at the Centerville chau-
tauqua asks the pertinent question:
Are gentlemen who have no knowl-
edge Of what articles are on the tariff
list, or what on the free list, competent
to undertake the revision OF the tar
iff?"

Edora, Sept. 4--Lundy Brothers
will complete this week, their plant
for the manufacture of sorghum. 1t is
an up-to-date plant, with the latest
improved methods and far superior
to what the people Of this vicinity had
anticipated being built. The plant is
OF $50 horse power and has a capacity
of 1920 gallons per day. The storage
watts are already in place and will hold
$4,000 gallons. Lundy Brothers esti-
mate the value of their establishment
at $4,000. They have this year sixty
acres Of cane, which they estimate will
easily produce 200 gallons of sorghum
per acre. Next year they expect to
have not less than 100 acres Of cane.
Many orders for sorghum have already
been received, and they expect to re-
ceive from fifty to sixty cents for every
gallon of their product.
The plant Is on the e. II. Lundy
farm, one mile south of Eldora A silo
of 20o-ton capacity, is being erected,
in which will be stored the cane, which,
after being crushed, makes excellent
feed for cattle. Mr. Lundy has a
large herd of cattle, especially dairy
cattle. which will be fed the by-pro-
duct at a very handsome profit.
