veteran tariff expert, who has teen a member of
the board Of general appraisers in New York for
many years is authority for the statement that
the Senate bill will show a per cent reduction
from the rates Of the Dingley law and a very ma

may say that per Is not great reduction

slider that the rates OF the Wilson bill. the Demo-
cratic tariff adoI ted during the Cleveland
administration. not per cent lower than the
rates Of the existing law You Will realize how ex-
tensive per cent reduction really is.
This view is not shared by Representa- tative Payne.

The effect of this will be to render extremely
difficult the procuring of authentic news regard
ing the work of the conferrees and to proiho'e
the circulation OF all sorts of unfounded rurnors'
Judging by past experience, there Will be pn- =

Taking into consideration only the PERSONA
views of the conferrees there is little reason 10
look for the survival of the lowest rates IN oo'h

On the other hand, theoretically at least II Is Iie
duty of the conferrees TO stand for the opinion
Of a majority Of the body they represent as eA-
pressed in the measure before the conference
and when the influence OF the President receives
due weight it becomes obvious that predictions
regarding the general trend of the conference

state officials to have the President STOP for few
minutes at least, at nearly all OF the towns OF ap-
preciabe size through which his train will pass In
the daylight hours. Already the President has been
bombarded with such requests. He has suggested
to all of his callers and correspondents that they
take the matter up with him later in the summer
when the detailed plans for the trip actually are
under consideration.
During the trips he made thus far the Presi-

RECORD OF ONE YEAR.
Since Brownsville Road First Began
Running Into Houston.

Exactly one year ago yesterday,
the ST Louis. Brownsville and Next
co railroad ran its first train into
Houston. Previous to that time trains
came only to AlgOa. where cOnnec-
ton was made with the Santa Fe for
Houston
The period intervening between
the time the first train entered HOus-
ton and now, has seen a wonderful
improvement in the railroad both in
the way of track and equipment and
increase in traffic. On the first trip,
to use an expression of an official of
the road, if the figures were gone
over 1t would be hard to find them
with a magnifying glass" But an
examination of the records of the st.
Louis, Brownsville and Mexico railway
for the thirty-siX hours ending at II
"a m. Monday showed that the road
handled into Houston and delivered
to connecting lines three full trains
(eighty-four cars) of cattle. two full
trains of cabbages and onions, and
moved out of Houston two full trains
of miscellaneous merchandise des-
tined to points along the line.
Recently passenger traffic became
so heavy that a double daily service
was installed, and now trains arrive
and leave Houston both morning and
evening. The results in this line,
according to the officials. have been
more than gratifying.
'Stock and vegetable shipments
will be heavy for several weeks yet, "
said A E. Buck, commercial agent of
the road in conversation with a Post
reporter Monday Il predict that
this will be the banner week of our
vegetable shipments We are now

4 DOUBTZNG THOMAS.

The Dallas News seems to doubt
the story which was current in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley recently to
the EFFECT that Col. Bryan, while
visiting his farm at Mission. was so
inspired by the desire to join the
work of development in the valley,
which takes hold of all corners here,
that he borrowed some "ole clo'es''
from a friend and went to work til
ling the soil on his own place. Com
menting upon The Heralds report of
this alleged event, the News says:
Mr. Bryan appeared in Dallas a
few days after the above sensational
story appeared. His hands did not
bear the marks of toll nor did his
shoulders carry the stoop popularity
associated with the man of the hoe.
He was portly of form, ford of com
pleXion and hopeful of heart, neither
of which is characteristic of the til
Ter of the soil. True, he was alarm
ingly bald, but it is not likely that
the sun burned his hair off. >
The News is correct in that last
assumption. The Lower Rio Grande
Valley sun does not burn ones hair
off. On the contrary, like every
thing else that grows, the hair is
benefited and its growth promoted by
the genial rays of the sun in the val
