more cause to be thankful than she is
this year, thankful as she is now.
“MAPLE LEAF”
TRAFFIC MEN
Some time .ago someone applied- to
City Clerk G. Bowden Settle for the ad-
dress of some of the relatives of Miss
Ca’rrie Nicholls Dean of Fall River, Mass.
Mr. Settle gave the information to the
papers and it was published, but he has
forgotten who it was that made the in-
quiry. This morning he received a letter
from Mrs. Elvy Nich'olls of La Grange,
Tex., who' says she knows the young-
woman whose mother was a sister of
of Mrs. Nicholls’ husband. She enclosed a
letter which had been returned from Fall
River, Mass., and asks Mr. Settle to sup-
ply the deficiency in the address. d
Billy Perrett is the good looking police-
man who guards the new Galveston pas-
senger station of the Santa Fe railroad.
Billy’s friends are proud of his cavalry
mustachios and they were anxious that
they should appear in the photograph of
the station, which is to be largely used
in advertising matter to be gotten out
by the passenger department of the road.
It was not known exactly when the
photograph would be taken. But Billy did
not propose to take any chances, so every
day he would look his best and just wait
around for the photographer.
It is a custom of Billy’s to go home
during the noon hour for lunch. This is a
time honored custom and the other day
he went home as usual, being relieved
by a long and lank individual who is said
to be a very fine policeman, but not much
to look at.
When Billy Perritt returned the sadness
around that passenger station could be
picked up in a spoon, it was so thick.
While he was munching his lunch at
home, the photographer had slipped down
to the station and that lank and hungry
policeman was in the picture while Billy
was out of it.
His friends tried to console Mr. Perritt.
But he declines to be comforted. They
tell him other photographs may be taken
or mayhap the negative will be spoiled.
But the sadness around the depot lingers
even though Billy’s perennial smile has
fled.
Mexico sets a notable example to the
[American people in condemning to death
the would-be assassin of President Diaz.
If there was any crime which the state
/could condone it would be the lynching of
a man who had sought to kill its chief
executive. But in the view of Mexican
justice not even that could justify the
unlawful act, and the overzealous pa-
triots are to pay the penalty of their
murderous deeds.
Not only is this refined justice but
eminent wisdom, for popular uprisings
are absolutely without discretion and as
likely to assault the innocent as the
guilty. In no state of society can the
determination of guilt be safely left to
emotional mobs. The law should never
be permitted to bow to the frenzy of the
moment, yet that is what it does in our
American states whenever officers tame-
ly submit to having prisoners wrested
from them and whenever courts close
their eyes to the manifest evidences of
lynching.
Underlying the enforcement of all law
and the application of all jurisprudence
is popular sentiment to assist the con-
stabulary and sustain the judiciary. Hence
every time we suffer a lynching we con-
fess it has popular support, and every
-time a court refuses or fails to punish
a mob we -acknowledge that we do not
want it punished. This is humiliating
and distressing but it is the logical in-
ference from the fact. Hencei the way to
reform lies in popular education, and les-
sons like this of Mexico’s ought to be
impressed as showing the righteousness
not less than the wisdom of supporting
the law.

Everybody who has ever traveled from-
Houston to Galveston or ridden the other
way over the Gulf, Colorado
Fe knows Conductor Taylor,
don’t know that.he was once in the lot-
tery business. J’erhaps this fact might
never have come out had not Col. Taylor
in an unguarded- moment unbossomed
himself in this way:
“When I was in the lottery business I
shipped $40 worth of tickets to a fellow ini
a neighboring town; The day of the
drawing I accidentally learned that the
fellow had skipped out and that the
tickets were left in the express office.
There was no way for me to get the
tickets back in time and as I had no am-
bition to speculate $40 worth in the draw-
ing I was in a pretty pickle to know what
to do.
“There was a telegraph operator in the
tovn where the tickets were wno was
just too smart for anything. I always
like smart people—like to do ’em up. So
I just sent a message to the fellow to
whom I had consigned the tickets and
congratulated him on having won a $10,000
prize.
“The operator knew the tickets were
in the express office and that the fellow
I sent the message to had skipped. So he
fairly burned his fingers with that mes-
sage and before it was well off the wire,
he was on his way to the express office
after those tickets. He ponied up $40,
took them out and——”
“Got his $10,000 prize?” ‘
“Young man you are too soft, too inno-
cent for this world. I got my $40 and he
got the tickets.”

RAILWAY LEGISLATION.
To The Tribune.
Chicago, Ill., Nov. 18.—The following
resolution was passed at the last session
of the National association of merchants
and travelers:
Resolved, that the National association
of merchants and travelers shall urge
upon congress prompt legislation in con-
formity with the repeated recommenda-
tions of the interstate commerce commis-
sion and to pass without delay what is
known as the anti-scalping bill.
Our association is committed to the fol-
lowing propositions: The interstate com-
merce law is at present of little or no
value to mercantile interests, the commis-
sion being unable to prevent discrimina-
tion either between persons or localities.
Recent decisions have deprived the act
to regulate commerce of almost every-
thing it was supposed to mean when
passed.
Discriminations against locality have
grown to such an extent that in many
cases they are a restraint to trade and
should therefore be abolished. Nearly all
the conservative roads are anxious to do
this, but owing to the inherent weakness
of the railroad associations and the impo-
tency of the commission, there is at pres-
ent no machinery to accomplish the de-
sired end. .
Railroad managers in the past have op-
posed any form of government control.
We are now told that it has begun to
dawn upon many of them that adequate
government control which would protect
their revenue from the assaults of pirati-
cal competition might be a good thing to
try.
Ticket scalping is an irregular and fre-
quently dishonest business, tolerated in no
other country. If abolished, the regular
passenger fares might be reduced. Many
of the vexatious ticket restrictions might
be removed and excursion rates for asso-
ciations or other purposes might be more
easily granted and accompanied by less
red tape, if the scalping offices were
closed. It is not in accordance with the
protection of public morals to tolerate a
business which encourages breaking of
contracts, misrepresentation and forgery.
J. J. WAIT,
Chairman Railroad Committee.
which he points out to railroad owners.
Texas is not yet fairly started upon her
career of railroad building and if the
commonwealth will only do me-half in
the way of liberal treatment what its
resources offer in actual business this
optimistic prophet will be not without
honor in his own country, as ne is not
without splendid influence to shape things
as he foresees.
- Mr. Hogg has been honored of Texas
to the full measure of reasonable am-
bition. There is little else he could ask,
and perhaps nothing he could not have
for the asking. He is yet in the prime of
life and in the mellowness of riper wis-
dom than he had 10 years ago. If he
should elect, while conducting his pri-
vate affairs, to lend his influence to a
policy of upbuilding by inculcating a
more generous popular spirit than has
been the Texas habit he would further
strengthen his title to real and rounded
greatness.
IDLE HOURS IN A LIBRARY,
William Henry Hudson, published
William Doxey, at The Sign of the Lark,
San Francisco. I had occasion a few
weeks ago to confess in these columns
my inability to understand one of Doxey’s
publications—“Yermah the Dorado” it
was called—and out of compassion for my
dullness or recompense for lost time he
sent me this. Accounts are entirely
squared, and I can now forgive even
“The Purple Cow.” The present volume
consists of four charming essays; not
counting a delicious preface, which makes
the author a library chum at the very
outset. What is there in all of 'ntellec-
tual life that can draw men closer to-
gether than a common passion for cer-
tain literature? It beats good wine for
companionship and religious agreement
for enthusiasm. Perhaps Prof. Hudson
would not vzrite so well in my view if he
had written upon something with which
I have no sympathy. “A jest’s prosperi-
ty lies in the ear of him who hears it.”
So in some measure a book’s popularity
lies in the taste of him who reads it.
At any rate, no lover of Elizabethan
literature can read the opening essay—
“London Life in Shakespere’s Time”—
without pledging himself as a life sub-
scriber to all Prof. Hudson may write.
Through the avenues of Elizabethan
writings, he leads you into> the paths, the
shops, the ale houses, the, theaters, the
boudoirs and the palaces where Will
Shakespere [sic] walked and talked and
drank and played and charmed those of
his generation as he charms all men of
all times. But the essay is more than
an idle journey in search of curios. It is
a luminous exposition of the transition-
literary, spiritual and social—of that re-
markable period and a brilliant inter-
pretation of the localisms of the great
bard’s writings.
It would be a poor compliment to the
author to merely say he has happened
to strike a congenial literary taste. So I
must remark upon the chatty and amus-
ing “Pepys and His Diary,” which is the
second essay in the volume. Being itself
a review it can not well be reviewed, but
it is such discriminating analysis and of
such—homely application to latter day
foibles that it brings the garrulous Pepys
up to date and makes the Restoration
chronicler reflect the follies of the past
in the weaknesses of the present.
The other essays, “Two Novelists of the
English Restoration” and “A Glimpse of
Bohemia,” are equally edifying.

The Christmas number of Frank Les-
lie’s Popular Monthly opens with a
Christmas story’' by Frank R. Stockton,
entitled “Old Applejoy’s Ghost,” which
contains a particularly clever idea worked
out in Mr. Stockton’s well known pleas-
ing manner. It is illustrated with three
full page drawings by George Wright.
This is followed by the second paper in
the magazine’s important series on An-
drew Jackson, and his times and compa-
patriots, taking up this month “Andrew
Jackson as a Military Commander,” writ-
ten by A. Oakley Hall, and containing
portraits and views, and an excellent pic-
ture of Jackson spending Christmas Day,
1814, by H. M. Eaton.

The Tribune acknowledges receipt of
the eastern edition of the Timberman,
the leading lumber journal of the coun-
try, published at Chicago). The issue con-
sists of 146 pages largely devoted to the
famous Tonawanda district, the great
white pine center for American lumber
operations. Buffalo is also treated ex-
haustively, and the whole special issue
is profusely illustrated and contains
much valuable information to lumbermen.
The Timberm.an’s special editions have
long since been accepted by lumbermen
as perfect productions, both statistically
and from a typographical standpoint,
and the eastern edition is a gem of the
printer’s art.

Feet and Limbs Sweiied—No Relief
Found Until Hood’s Sarsaparilla
was Tried — Entirely Cured.
‘‘Last winter my little boy contracted
blood poison by wading in stagnated
water. He swelled up from his feet to his
knees and from his waist to the end
of his fingers. One side of his body
swelled and he had a high fever. I bought
a bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I gave
him the medicine and Hood’s Pills and
they cured him of what was a severe case
of blood poison.” Mrs. H. Wallstein,
360912 Q Street, Galveston, Texas.
“I have been in poor health for several
years and tried bitters, tonics, pills and
plasters until I was almost out of patience,
and began to think my case hopeless. My
husband bought a bottle of Hood’s Sar-
saparilla and I began taking it. When I
had finished the first bottle I had a better
appetite. After taking three bottles I
am stronger and better than for years.”

The time was when an exhortation
from James S. Hogg to the railroads to
build more lines in Texas
been regarded by managers and owners
as an invitation to “walk into my par-
lor,- as the spider said to the fly. But
that time is no more. Meanwhile, events
have demonstrated, in some measure at
least, that Mr. Hogg builded wiser than
he knew, at least wiser than his enemies
knew,, in his stock and bond law, and an
exhortation now has a different sort of
effect because behind it is the state’s
guarantee to bondholders that no wild
cat speculation will be tolerated.
It is not worth while, and it is improper
at this time, to discuss the contentions
upon which the ex-governor rose to pow-
er, but there are few who will deny the
wisdom of a greater part of the legisla-
tion which his agitation inspired. Per-
haps, moreover, it would not be too much
to say that Mr. Hogg’s views on certain
subjects have been materially modified
or seasoned by experience an.d observa-
tion. At any rate, the roseate and en-
couraging outlook which he holds up
through The Tribune today is significant
of better railroad times in Texas—better
In the prospect of building and in the
absence, or at least, the minimum of
politico-railroad bickering.
There is abundant reason for the en-
couragement he sees in the situation and
solid facts behind every inducement

C. W. PRESTON,
October 1, 1897. City Tax Assessor.
The party of “Maple Leaf” officials
who arrived here in a private car Sun-
day morning, left this morning for Hous-
ton. They will spend a day there, pro-
ceeding thence to San Antonio and prob-
ably visiting other Texas cities before
returning north.
General Freight Agent Stohr, of the
Chicago and Great Western, otherwise
known as the “Maple Leaf,” came here
with his party to' see what business
Texas has to offer and to. observe person-
ally what facilities Galveston has to* take
care of her constantly growing business.
He is a very pleasant gentleman, easy of
approach, and his visit was as pleasant
to those who met him as it evidently was
to him. He denied any ulterior designs in
his trip here, declaring simply that he
_came down “to see the country.” But
busy traffic men are not much given to
junketing a couple of thousand miles
away from home merely “to see the coun-
try” during the height of the busy season.
This morning Mr. Stohr was asked to
give The Tribune an epitome of his im-
pressions of Galveston and to point out
the weaknesses of the port as they ap-
peared to an outsider.
“I have seen so much during the short
time I have been here,” said he, “that I
have not thoroughly digested it and am
hardly in a position to say what I think
of Galveston. The port is attracting
considerable attention, particularly from
the Atlantic seaboard lines. Our line is
peculiarly situated. We originate a vast
amount of export stuff which we can as
well send south as east.”
Mr. Stohr did not say so, but he gave
apparently unintentionally the impression
that the chief object of his visit here was
to see if Galveston had facilities for
handling business, in which event his
line could afford to play the southern
route against the one to. the east and
possibly get a better division of the
through rate as a result. This is probably
the milk in the cocoanut of his visit.
He does not appear to think that private
ownership of the docks and terminals
is a good thing, leaning to the opinion
that if the docks were controlled by the
railways better results would be obtained.
“There is one crying need here,” said
Mr. Stohr, “which struck me particular-
ly. That is the lack of regular liners
with regular sailings for foreign ports.
There does not seem to be any. one here
who is interested in this matter. If the
Galveston railways would do, as the east-
ern railways do, guarantee a given
amount of tonnage to a line and then go
out and get that tonnage the lines could
be had quick enough. That in fact is the
only sure and quick way t'o get the ships
here.
“Such facilities as Galveston has are
first class in every respect. But it does
not appear to me that there is a great
deal of room for expansion without a
corresponding expansion of docks and
the like. "We are, however, going to
make some experimental shipments
through here and when I come again I
can tell you more about how they turn
out.”
J. Waddy Tate, general agent of the
Maple Leaf in Texas, is chaperoning the
party and will remain with them while
they are in the state;
