homo of the operations of these industrial giants A
glanco at the record sb shown by the returns for tho
year ending June 30 can not full to be Interesting
One may bo unit to form an Idea of tho oxpansion
of the business of the leading combinations by tho fact
that the total resources of the ttust companies in that
Stntf amounts to more than a thousand million dollars
ui to he accurate 1078212CSS This aggregate Is
readied by an increnne of near 110000000 during tho
last six months Four and a half years ago tho total
did not amount to 5no000ti00 and five and a half
years ago it was short of 1000u0000 The following
arm the annual aggregates for ten years back

It bhonld be stated that aggregate resources em-
brace apltal surplus and profits The record Is little
varied by the deposits alone which these companion
hold and by which their Influence In tho financial cen
ir of the country is largely extended These deposits
make a total of f8 700t > 000 an increase since Jnnunry
1 of 01100000 What is represented hero can host bo
Judged by reference to the statement of tho Now York
ckarirg house banks of June 28 which reports deposits
ol rSS28100 The capital now reported for those
combinations Is 53225000 compared with 10125000
or January 1 190
Tho Increase In deposits is much larger than tho In-
crease in capital The growth of the busluoss In the
old and larger companies in reality accounts for the
big lesults The loan bond and security companies

THE PACIFIC CABLE
When tho proposition for tho government to build
a cable across the Pacific wop before congress there
was every reason to believe that the Corliss bill would
pass until formal nnsutanceu wero given by the cable
company which satisfied tho government These stipu-
lations binding thn table cotrpany aro as follows
1 To charge not more than 50 cents a word between San
Francisco and Honolulu and to reduce that tate to 35 cents
within two years after the cable was in operation to charge
not more than 1 to Manila or China and to give the United
States government half rates on all official messages
a To complete the line to Hawaii by January I 1903
and to the Philippines two years later
3 To land the cable on American soil only reserving
however the right to avoid uam if its vicinity should prove
inaccessible for cable laying by reason of great depths
4 To sell the line to the government at any time on ap-
praisal by five arbitrators two each selected by the govern-
ment and the company and the fifth to be chosen by the other
four
5 To transmit government messages at rates fixed annu-
ally by the postmaster general
6 To give priority to government messages over all other
business
7 Not to receive from any foreign government exclusive
prvileges which would prevent the establishment and oper-
ation of a cable of an American company in the jurisdiction
of such foreign government
8 Not to consolidate or amalgamate with any other line
or combine with one to regulate rates
9 The United States government to have privileges equal
to those required by other governments
10 United States citiccns to be on an equal footing with
those of oilier countries

ness companys service business general messages
13 To kep the line open for business daily when in
working order
ij In times of National emergency the United States to
take cnntrol of the line
Admiral Bradford who surveyed the bed of tho
ocean In 1800 Insisted thnt the cable company should
land at Guam positively so as not to touch any foreign
soil anywhore that the cable might be entirely within
American control The objection of tho company to
landing at Guam was that 500 miles to tho east of tho
Islands the ocenn goes down Into the greatest abyss in
the world to a depth of 10010 yards Admiral Brad
fords survey shows however that this bad placo can
bo avoided by a detour The cablo company has con-
sented to land nt Guam positively and In addition to
employ none but Americans and to provldo repair ves-
sels etc All of tho governments requirements being
met Admiral Bradford hns accordingly recommended
that his charts bo turned over to the company to fa-
cilitate the work
Tho president has put tho matter In the hands of
Attorney General Knox that tho government may be
fully protected In Its dealings with tho company This
company which Is tho MackayBennctt Cablo company

of Mr Mackay who left his affairs In perfect order

The Post yesterday published an experienced lawjers
analysis of the proposed railway franchise on Commerce ave-
nue As pointed out therein and as heretofore urged by The
Post it is important that the city council shall so safeguard
any grant as to render a monopoly impossible The conver-
sion of Commerrc avenue into a wholesale district with rail-
way tracks convenient for freight delivery would bo desira-
ble for many reasons but the benefits of such an arrange-
ment would be largely nullified If the trackage were under
the exclusive control of one line of railway

NOTE AND COMMENT
The Indianapalos Sentinel says Of all the testimony
that has come from the Philippines none is more striking
than that of Major Glenn in his plea of defense on the charge
of administering the water cure The chief offense charged
against him was inflicting this punishment on the presldcnte
of Igbaras Note his view of the condition of the Island
I found very soon after my arrival in Panay that every
man s hand was against us that every man woman and child
in the island was an enemy and In my best judgment they
arc today and always will he Practically every prcsidente
and other ofheials have been playing double
And yet we are told that these people are pacified and
are ready to accept American government In fact part of
them have so declared and the more influential of them have
been put in office under the American system of reconstruc-
tion Of the results Major Glenn says
These men of peace have actually waged war by killing
straggling American soldiers They have made use of poison
in the drinks sold to American soldiers They have poisoned
the r arrows and the tips of their spcar and holos together
with the bamboo tips placed in the deadly traps that abounded
on the trails They have hired assassins to kill those who
were even suspected of being friendly to the Americans and
likewise have endeavored to have our American officers as-
sassinated They openly stated in the island of Bohol that
they would udly jacrifiee twenty nativei for every Ameri

who under the name of Ducot Mandoducor or Sandatahan

Such are our new citlicns who have been added to the re-
public to increase its grandeur trt the view of this army offi-
cer Put for what iire thce vrtkn fighting For what arc
they resorting to such barbarous methods Major Glenn
says
They organized and were the active members of secret
societies known as the Katipunan etc whose avowtl ob-
jects were to advance the cause of indepeiidencia in any and
all ways Bru under this highsounding phrase they have made tE 1
use of every means forbidden to them by the laws of war guard
Independcncia And Americana wonder that these peo-
ple should be fighting as they have for that fighting so des-
perately fighting so treacherously They could not tight oth-
erwise Their inferiority in open conflict was so manifest
that they mult fight by treachery or not at all And all for
a dieain called liidcpendcncia Major Glenn says they can
he subjugated only by cruelty and torture and that even
then they will always be our enemies Why should they not
be What has there been in our conquest to leave any
pleasant memories with them
A Nov York paper thus quotes a man who ha Just re-
turned from en extended Southern trip
Cotton is obviously the staple consideration in the South
and I have learned some interating facts about it The cot-
ton crop this year will amount to 10000000 blc and one
half of this will remain in the country for home consumption
Of this onehalf at least 45 per cent will go to Southern fac-
tories Ten years ago yj per cent was shipped to Northern
factories At this rate of increase Southern factories will
soon meet the greater percentage of home demand
The siie of this years cotton yield ii as yet all specula-
tion adds the CourierJournal but there is no speculation
about the great development ofcotton manufacturing in the
South And this is but the beginning What is true of cot-
ton manufacturing is destined to be true of many other in-
dustries

The editor of this paper attended the State democratic
convention at Galveston last wtek as a delegate from this
county and while there was honored by being madca mem-
ber of the platform committee and also a member of the sub
comniittec We worked hard to get a platform reported that
would reflect the sentiment of the peopk Just how well wc
succeeded the platform will attest but from the view we
take of it the platform taken as a whole la a very good one
and a very conservative one Some few things in the plat-
form we would have liked to have trimmed up a little and
some things omitted lhat we would have liked to put in but
every time we would go to trimming tin or adding in we
would find that there were thirtyone of the darndest contra
riest fellows we ever went up against There were five
of the eleven on the subcommittee who were railroad attor-
neys and taking it all together we did the best we could
and hope the public will be satisfied Piano Star
it is pleasant to observe that the Mar man takes his medi-
cine gracefully It would he difficult 10 find thirtyone men
who could agree on every position so it is not surprising that
now and then the editor of the Star found bis views opposed
Hut doesnt the Star think it about time to cease singling nut
these citizens who are railroad attorneys The law is a great
profession and its members must be employed at times by all
classes of pcoide The railroads and other corporations em-
ploy the best lawyers to be had merely to perfprm honorable
and legitimate service and the arceptance of such employ-
ment does not necessarily mean that the lawyers are enemies
of tle State Dallas News
The editor of the Star is mistaken There were not five
railway attorneys on the subcommittee If he will examine
the list of names again he will find that nine of the eleven
members have no connection whatsoever with any railway

Louisville CourlorJournal It is evident that the republic-
ans in the pending campaign intend to answer all references
to atrocities in the Philippines by the counter charge that the
democrats are abusing the army As the army is made up of
citizens of the United States near relatives of some of the
voters it is shrewdly calculated that such a defense however
illogical will be quite successful in gaining votes
Atlanta Constitution An Eastern paper prints a strong
communication advocating the nomination by the republican
party of J Pierpont Morgan for president in 1904 At first
blush the proposition is rather staggering but on a closer
view of the suggestion it doesnt appear so incongruous and
absurd In very truth if the republicans of the country de-
sire to nominnte an ideal t > pical representative of their
party spirit and policies wc do not knfjw a man in the whole
broad land who would so uniquely fill the bill as John Pier

Blocking a Republican Hoodoo
From the Atlanta Constitution
Once more the issue of government by injunction is
being raised by Judge Jackson of the Federal district court of
West Virginia It will be remembered that a few years ago
this same judge indulged in the injunction habit to an ex-
traordinary degree and sent people to jail for making
speeches that he construed into contempts of couit It then
required a large amount of fancy sidestepping by the repub-
lican managers to satisfy the labor leaders of the country that
Jacksonism in West Virginia is not a logical manifestation of
republican imperialism
But Judge Jackson is an irascible old gentleman who
thinks a Federal ukase worthy of greater sanctity than the
commandments of the Lord and he proposes to shut off agi-
tators walking delegates strike orators and scab persuaders
in spite of constitutioiiil guars tees whenever such persons
interfere with the orderly endeavor of the coal barons to
starve the miners into submission to any scale of wages
hours and operations the aforesaid barons may dictate
Therefore he has ordered some of them to jail and sent out
warrants for the capture of others who dared to make
speeches In support of the strike and appealing to the miners
not to surrender their cause
It may be that in all these things Judge Jackson Is hon-
estly trying to protect private property conserve corporate
rights and defend the liberties and freedom of contract of
scab miners If that be tme and he Is trynig to hold an Un
parjial balance between tbe libety of one man to work and
another man to strike and stay struck without unlawfully la
MiM
private property he would be
terfertng with public peace or
entitled to all respect and commendation
His language from the bench however amounts to a viru-
lent philippic against the strikers and the agencies of their
organization His denunciation of walking delegates and
union officials generally arc intemperate and show the venom
of a personal spite against the whole scheme of organized
labor He refuses to admit that labor unions have as mucn
right to have managing officers walking delegates organizers
and superiors as have the coal combines the oil trusts ana
the railway syndicates to their officials drummers loouy
attorneys and armies of armed detectives spies and
It is little wonder that the republican campaign managers
are alarmed over this fresh eruption of Jacksonlan govern-
ment by injunction in the spirit with which he presents it
They have hastened to induce hm to withdraw his warrants
against the chief officials of the miners union and to release
some of those whom he had imprisoned They fear the ha-
beas corpus and especially the issue the miners were about
to present to President Roosevelt in petitions for the P don
of the Jackson prisoners But Jackson is a hoodoo and the
end of him is not yet I
Stories of Famous Songs
Denver Post
Among the extracts from the diary of Charley White the
oldtime negro minstrel published recently was the history
of the famous song Dixie White spent much time in
tracing the history of other songs and in his diary he gave
life results of his work Some of these song histories are in-
teresting and a few of them have been selected by the New
York Sun as follows
The words of The Star Spangled Banner were written
as every one knows by Fiancis S Key during the bombard-
ment of Port McHcnry but the history of the music to which
they were set is less familiar
The verses wrote White were printed in ballad form
and scattered through the camp on Federal Hill Baltimore
One evening one of the soldiers picked up a copy and read
it aloud three times until the entire division was electrified
by its patriotic eloquence An idea struck Ferd Durang an
actor who hunted up an old volume of flute music which he
found in his tent He impatiently whistled tunc after tunc
just as they caught his quick eye One called Anacreon in
Heaven struck his fancy and riveted his attention Note
after note fell from his lips With a laugh and a shout he
exclaimed
Hoys Ive hit it and fitting the words to the tune
there rung out for the first time the song of The Star Span-
gled Banner Getting a short furlough Ferd and Charley
Durang sang it on the stage of Holliday Street theater The
music was first published by George Willig Jr of Baltimore
Ferd Durang died in New York in 1830 I well remem-
ber Tom Blakely an actor saying to his wife Poor Ferd
Durang is dying Durang was born in Harrisburg Pa His
father was a Frenchman and a fair musician Durang died
in extreme poverty and but for his colaborers on the stage
he would have found a paupers grave
Kathleen Mavourncen was sold by Crouch the author
for 25 and brought the publishers as many thousands
Crouch was hopelessly improvident and in his later days
became a tramp When Mile Titieni was in this country a
number of years ago she sang Kathleen Mavourncen in
New York A dirty tramp introduced himself as Crouch was
recognized and thanked her for singing the song so well
Life on the Ocean Wave written by Epcs Sargent was
pronounced a failure by his friends Russell of a Boston
firm of music publishers took the words from Sargent and
the latter tells this story of the melody
Wc passed through a music store Russell seated him-
self at a piano read over the lines attentively hummed an air
or two himself and ran his hands over the keys then stopped
as if nonplussed Suddenly a bright idea seemed to dawn
on him A melody all at once came into his brain and he
began to hum it and to sway himself to its movement Then
striking the keys he at last confidently launched into
Ocean Waves
The melody proved a success The copyright became very
valuable though the author never got anything from it but
fame It was popular in England as well as In this country
The Arkansas Traveler The famous traveler known
as the Arkansas Traveler is no myth but breathes and has
his being in that State The traveler lives In Little Rock
and may be seen every day on the streets of the town indulg
ing his taste for music and story telling He is known as
Colonel Sandy Faulkner He was born in Kentucky in 1804
In 1832 he went to Arkansas and became acquainted with
Walter Wright the original squatter in his song
My Maryland was written by James E Randall Ran-
dall was described as one of the most delightful men to meet
I met Randall some time ago in Anniston Ala He was an
editor of The Hot Blast in that city He said that he only
received 25 in Confederate money for his songs
Charley White did not hesitate to ascribe Beautiful
Snow to Henry W Faxon of the Louisville Journal
Old Dog Tray Suancc River Massas in de Cold
Cold Ground Camp Town Races Old Folks at Home
Ellen Bayne Willie Wc Have Missed You and My Old
Kentucky Home wrote White were written by Stephen
C Foster He was a musician amost from his cradle and
at the age of 7 In had mastered the llagelot without a teacher
It is said that one publishing house alone paid 20000 for
his compositions Foster was very improvident and was
often forced to sell for a few dollars what brought a fortune
to its purchaser Several of his best songs were composed in
the back room of a grocery store on pieces of brown paper
He died in the City hospital in New York where he had been
removed from a Bowery boarding house on January 18 1864
Rock Me to Sleep was written by Mrs Allen of Maine
She was paid 5 for it by Russell Co of uoston who in
three years gained 4000 > it
