Estate MAY ACCEPT THE RULING
Rehearing in the Trinity and Brazos
Valley Case May Not BE
Asked.

Austin, Texas. Nov. 22.-It is
probable that the state will not file
a motion for Iehearing in the su-
premc court, where Friday applica-
the case of the state VS.. Trinity and
Brazos Valley Railway company ct
al. from Travis. Assistant Attorney
General James ID. Walthall, who has
had charge of the litigation, is not
inclined to file a motion for rehear-
ing, since the court indicated its po-
sition so positively, and all of the
courts below We're in accord, though
he has fifteen days within which TO
present his motion If he so desires.
At this writing he is not inclined
to file such a motion, which is per-
functory, as a rule, and is granted
in the rarest instances.
The supreme court evidently
thought hat the courts had decided
the case most clearly, as it did not
think it worth while to grant the
writ of error and then write an opin-
ion in the case. 1t refused it without
N word of opinion, thereby adopt
ing the findings and conclusions of
the third court of civil appeals, The
decision, now made final, means
that railroads may make contracts

and stipulate hat the leasing line
shall not engage in local business at
stations intermediate on the joint
track. In this instance the Trinity
and Brazos Valley contracted to en-
ter Dallas from W~aXahachie over
the rails of the Missouri. Kansas and
Texas, and refused to handle passen-
gers or freight at stations between
WaXahachie and Dallas, which caus-
ed those places to complain to the
commission. The latter tribunal is
sued an order for the Trinity and
BraZos Valley trains to do the usual
local business at stations between
ana DdildS, ana inc VI
der was d~isregarded. resulting in the
suit for penalties, which is lost in
the court of last resort. This pre-
vents the disturbance of a number
of joint track agreements in Texas,
such as on the transcontinental di-
vision of the Texas and Pacific and
also on the International and Great
Northern between Austin and San
Marcos, which is used by the Nilsson
ri, Kansas and Texas. There are
many other such ARA ements in
this state, and the commission, un-
der the late decision, Will be unable
to disturb them.

of Forney, whose duty is to consid-
er bids from towns and locate the
Texas Baptist Orphanage.
Elder j. S. Evans of W~axahachie
was elected financial agent and will
have charge of the home when 1t is
located.
This orphanage committee will
meet with the o~rphanage mass meet
ling (to be held at Italy, Dec. Ia,
1902 for the purpose of consider
ing bids for its location.
We solicit bids to be sent, sealed,
to j. s. Elliott, Forney, not later
than Dec. 10. The committee re-
serves the right to receive or reject
bids as may seem best to them.
1t is asked what the extent of this
proposed o~rphanage, the advantages
of securing it, etc, we will say we
have from $4,000 to $1,000 sub
lscribed, which means it will have
not less than a $4,000 beginning,
with not less than 100000 Baptists
behind it. The institution will grow
ito a 100000 institution. The town
or city that secures it will have the
same advantages that come from
any such institution.
Furthermore, we suspect h a this
institution or the founding of it Will
meet sharp and bitter opposition on
account of there being strife and dl-
vision among the Baptists of the
state and the existence of two state
wide conventions, two universities
and at least two opinions about the
management of mission and benevo-
lent funds. And we only ask that our
opponents deal with us fairly and
that any statement d~erogatory to
our interest be left to our records.
The minutes or records of u body
will show better than a mere state
ment. We ask to be allowed the Am
erican right to do our work as seems
right to us.
We guarantee that the charter of
this institution shall be so drawn up
as to secure satisfactory manage
ment. such as will reflect honor upon
the town of its location and the
sources of its existence. We hope to
be able to locate the home at our
next meeting. We have received sew
eral bids already. J. S. ELLIOTT, for
committee.

A PRECEDENT IN POLITICS.

almost forgotten quality called man
illness in transactions of today that
one is pleasantly shocked when a
real case OF it is made manifest,
and doubly so If this admirable trait
is developed in such an unexpected
environment as a political campaign;
hence it is a most agreeable sensa-
ton thai follows the perusal OF At
torney General Davidson's announce
ment of his intention to submit his
name to the people of Texas as a
candidate for the office of governor,
SAYS the Galveston Tribune. In
these days of political trimming he
is a brave man who voluntarily steps
from behind the veil of precedent
and in no uncertain language lets 1t
be known unasked where he stands
upon the questions that are TO decide
the next state contest.
But perhaps the most unique
feature of the announcement of Mr..
Davidson is his assertion that on
January / he will resign his present
position in order to more thoroughly
make his personality and his plat
form known to those who are to
choose the next chief executive of
the state. 1t is believed that this ac-
ton voluntarily taken by Mr.. David
son is unique in the political history
of the state. While the reasons given
by the gentleman for taking TINS
commendable course should be am
ple. the people of the state will not
be slow in adding from their own
sense of Justice and pro 1riety a COM
mendation of the act that shall make
it the starting point for all those
who follow in the future. After MI.
Davidson's manly declaration there
will III the days to come be few VINO
will dare to remain in office, accept
ing the ~emoluments thereof, while
employing the time that rightfuliy
belongs to the people in seeking
more honorable position or one to
which is attached larger compensa-
ton. If no precedent in this direction
has hitherto been established, one is
now of record. and Attorney General
davidson has written it in language
free from bubble or equivocation.
While the statement issued by
MIR. Davidson contains numerous ref
e]rences to matters which have been
land are still of public discussion,
matters where differences of opinion
run deep and strong, and while he
has neither clouded these issues nor
~tattempted to evade them, it is belieV-
ed his attitu e with reference to the
office he now occupies will be the
i one campaign shot that will cause
the greatest sensation in the coming
race for the governorship. This is
grade of democracy hat will ever
r serve to perpetuate the party anc
give the people q confidence in the
men who stand back OF the acts.
1t would not prove at all surpris
ing should the action OF Mr.. David
