The Pittshurg DISCLOSURE.

There is a singular parallel between
the results of the investigation at Albany,
which serves TO show that a fund of
about 500, 600 was collected and dis
burSed in about six years to secure legiS-
lation favorable to the fire insurance
companies, and the findings at Pittsburg,
which indicated that $Io2, 900 was the
pool divided among the councilmen
as the price of their votes, because
certain steel magnate, a much respected
citizen. wanted a certain street on the
South Side of PittSburg vacated for his
personal advantage and other people
wanted other iavors.
As Governor Hughes said at Albany
a few evenings ago, i'll his downright
speech before the University Club, in the
presence OF President Tan and the Gov
ernor-General of Canada, II there is
man in office who is untaithtul To his
public trust, then let his obllquity be dis
closed at ouce-in the name not. merely
of public morality, but of political eNpe-
diency. III there is a rascal who Is
abusing the privileges that the govern
meut is giving him, then show HIM up.
Ii anybody is false TO 4 public trust I'M
cover him for the pure safety and the
honor OF the party"
The disclosures at PittSburg before
the Grand Jury are horritying enough
but il the counCilmen have been paid
from SSI. 10 To $500 for their votes, and
il one OF their number receives $1,000
10 divide among the others, II Is tar
better that the fact should be known Tor
the sake OF the greater good OF the
+ greater number, even though the hand
of Justice falls heavily upon the shoulder
OF the individual offender, and his iuno-
cent wife and children are cruelty involv-
ed IN his eNpiation,
This Sordid transaction of buying and
selling the votes OF counCimen IS SAID to
be the greatest scandal in the history OF
any American municipality But Il
those who knew thai the votes of the
councilmen were ON the bargain counter,
had kept their peace, the scandal would
have been greater still Ii was because
there were some ncorruptible men III
positions of public trust in PlttSburg-
men OF the stamp Of EN-Mayor George
w, Gu,hrie-that there has come the
relentless exposure directed by District
/ Attorney Blakerlv. and abetsd by those
who are determined, that even though
the good name of their city must pas,
through the retiuer'S fire. the blackeuing
reproach OF its fair fame shall be fiualll
removed,
The PittSburg scandal is indeed ,
Saddenjng episode in the history OF mu
nicipal government in this country, ans
the most cogent argument for the com
mission form of government which
makes VERY small group Of men tht
responsible administrators Of CITY
affairs, The brightest aspect Of the sit
ua,ion lies in the fact that few men
mot in malice nor in anger, had tbs
courage 10 expose the derelictiOu 0
their fsllow-citiIeuS for the sake Of th'
common welfare and for the sake c
their city F1tlla&slbhiG Ls2ser.

AWFUL WRECK ON
GRAND TRUNK
Eight Killed, Four Missing and Three
Fatally lnjured-some of the
Victims Cremated.

Durand, Mich, Aug. 26.-In rear
end collision between passenger trains
No. and IA both eastbound, on the
Grand Trunk railway two miles east
of Durand, late last night, eight per-
sons are known to have been killed,
three probably fatally injured and five
were seriously hurt.
1t s reported early today that four
passengers are missing.
Train No. Ii stopped to repair de-
fective brake when No crashed into
the sleeper on the standing train. The
engine of No. plowed half way
through the sleeper, crushing some of
1.-THE sleeping passengers. Wreckage of
the sleeper caught fire and others of
the passengers were burned or scald-
ed
1t is said there were eighteen pas
sengers on the ill-fated car.
Only the splintered Pullman was
thrown from the rails. the occupants
of the other coaches escaping with
nothing more serious than severe
shaking up.
The uninjured passengers, half clad,
endeavoring to rescue those in danger
were driven back again and again by
the heat of the flames and by escaping
steam, and were able to do little to
ward recovering the bodies of the dead

GRADUAL MARKET
ING Of COTTON
Instructive Address by II. o. Boat
Wright to Farmers Union Corn
mittee at Dallas.

The committee appointed by the Cot
ton Growers Association at the meet
ing OF the Farmers Congress held at
the A, g. NJ. College In July to form
ulate plan for the better handling
and marketing of the present cotton
crop, met at Dallas on August 10 Mr..
II. o. Boatwright, president of the
First National Bank of Bryan, mem
Der OF the committee, was invited TO
deliver an address on "The Gradual
Marketing OF Cotton" The address fol.
lows
The Scriptures teach that all things
work together for good to them who
love the Lord In working out His
provldences the evil share in the ben.
efiis that accrue to the good This
principle is nowhere more manifest
than IN the Lords dealings with the
farmers Of Texas. In 1899 the Brazos
river and other Texas streams over.
flowed their banks and thousands of
acres of fertile lands from Waco TO the
gulf were under water from four TO
ten feet. The disastrous effects of this
overflow were accentuated by the fact
that 1t occurred the latter part OF June
TOO late for replanting.
The next year. 1900 marked the ad-
vent of the boil weevil to our section
of the state Just having partially re,
covered from the effects and discour-
agements of the food, having to face
and combat this additional discourage
ment, again filled the hearts of our
farmers along the Brazos valley with
gloom and the next two years were
+, times that tried the souls OF men.
But as usual with us in times OF
gloom. we magnfed and emphasized
our troubles more than the situation
warranted, unmindful of the fact that
the future had in store for us blessings
in disguise. That which seemed o
curse proved to be blessing. The
newspapers of Texas, that mighty
agency for the upbuilding of our coun
try and inspiring of our people will
hope. with others, began the campaign
OF education along the line of diversi
fication. Heretofore the farmers o
Texas were raising cotton and corn
and very little corn.

crop departed the following spring for

This campaign of education, urging
diversification, taught the farmers the
folly of spending all their money for
things that could be raised by them
selves and thus in time become inde-
pendent. We often hear the expires.
sion, the Independent farmer | am
decidedly of the opinion that this much
desired state can De achieved only
Through the channel of diversification.
Only Jas the farmers diversity and
raise everything that is consumed on
the farm will chattel mortgages dis
appear and the farmer become inde-
pendent in deed and in truth.
Il believe in my county, Brazos, we
have the most progressive and up-to-
date farmers in Texas. Had you been
at the last session of the Farmers
Congress held recently at College Sta
tion and had seen the Brazos county
exhibit. you would say, Amen Two
years, perhaps, after the overflow to
which have referred, the mayor OF
one of our largest cities was in my
office and in discussing the effects of
the food he remarked that the banks
OF our section must have lost heavily
in deposits by reason of the great loss
entaled and the large areas of land
heretofore in cultivation then lying out
81 said TO him. Not only have the
banks of this section held their own
as to deposits, but will you believe me
when tell you that our deposits in the
Hast two years next succeeding the
overfow have more than doubled?' He
said 4 do not see how that can be?
