Somebody has said that the action of
the legislature on the measure to put the
cities under the operation of the uni-
form text book law will 'test the gov-
ernor’s influence, since he has recommend-
ed the bill. Not so. The governor has
candidly given the legislature his advice,
as is his duty, but he is not using the
gubernatorial whip and no antagonism
is ’to be implied.

PATRICK, whose postoffice address 13
northwest 39th and L. Galveston.
The memorial to the legislature pre-
pared by Col. Robert G. Street and the
Chamber of Commerce committee antici-
pates every reasonable objection that can
be made to the Southern Pacific bill ad-
mitting the great railway and steamship
system to this port.
It is shown that the state will be the
greatest gainer after all, since the effect
will be to lower railroad rates, to cause
wharfage to be absorbed in the freight
rate and to make the Southern Pacific
wholly amenable in its Texas business to
he regulations of the railway commission.
Lawyers are not agreed as to whether
;he state has any claim whatever to any
part of the Huntington purchase, but if
such claim exists in law it is confined to
the small area, of some 75 acres, which,
under a general statute, is offered for sale
at 52 an acre. But even if the state had
unquestioned title to the entire purchase
it could well afford' to make an outright
grant and to offer like sections to any
other railroad that w’ill make equivalent
Improvements and give assurances of an
equal volume of business.
It is perfectly plain from the official
figures of Capt. Riche, United States en-
gineer, and from the accurate map of En-
gineer Ripley that the Huntington pur-
chase is but a fractional part of the unde-
veloped wharfage at Galveston, and that
the total improved and reserved wharfage
—the Wharf company, Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe—is scarcely one-fourth of
the available area, not considering Bolivar
peninsula* which is always to be reck-
oned in the Galveston situation.
The objection to closing the streets is
overcome by the fact that there are no
streets through the flats which the state
is asked to yield. The original map of
dedication effectually settles that point,
ffhe fear that the property might be
fenced is groundless. It will forfeit with-
out use, and under use it will be a high-
way for public business. Every wharf
anywhere is accessible to drays, wagons
and! persons on business, and in the nature
©f things can not be closed.
The only restriction imposed is that giv-
ing Huntington control of the property.
This is a necessary condition of owner-
ship and operation. Otherwise other rail-
road and steamship companies could enter
and prevent him from handling his own
freights. But he becomes a wharfinger
in the meaning of the constitutional prin-
ciple which makes wharves public high-
ways, subject to state regulation. This
point is further guarded by the paragraph
in the bill which makes wharfage—if any
wharfage is charged—subject to the regu-
lation of the state railway commission.
At the most the state is asked to waive
title to some 75 acres to which it has a
very shadowy claim if any claim at all,
and this is justified many times over by
the manifest advantages to the commerce
of the state which will ensue from the act.

Big Decline the Past Year, Probably Due
to Railroad Discrimination.
New York, N. Y„ March 10.—According
to the annual report of the Chamber of
commerce just issued, the foreign com-
merce of this port for the year ended
June 30 last was $39,229,576 less than dur-
ing the previous year., being $996,955,416,
against $1,036,211,172 for the year ended
June 30, 1897.
This was a much greater decrease than
during the year 1897, compared with the
year 1896, when the falling off was only
$3,153,099. According to the report, the
foreign commerce -of the entire United
States during last year was $2,069,383,089, or
an increase of $35,782,876 compared with
the previous: year, so that there has ap-
parently been a general increase outside
of New York. Of the total foreign com-
merce at this port $127,792,345 was carried
in American vessels and $866,342,275 in for-
eign bottoms.
Although no statement is made in the
preliminary report as to the cause of the
great falling off in New York’s commerce,
it has long been known that it is due large-
ly to the diversion of traffic to other ports
by reason of the discrimination of the
railroads against New York, which ren-
ders it more profitable to ship by way of
southern ports.

The Offer of a Young Lady at Brenham
Was Declined.
Brenham, Tex., March 9.—Three hun-
dred people assembled at the depot this
evening to see Col. W. J. Bryan, who
passed through on the Central en route to
Houston. In response to loud calls he ap-
peared on the platform of the rear coach
and spoke as follows:
“My friends, I am glad to meet you, and
would be glad to talk to you, but my voice
is in bad condition and my throat is sore.
I have just attended another funeral of
the silver question, and the mourners
were so numerous I had to talk loud so
they could all hear. I must reserve my
voice, as I am to speak again tonight in
Houston. I am always glad to come to
Texas, but feel when I come that energies
and forces ought to be reserved for other
states where work is needed. You people
in Texas do not need to be talked to on
the silver 'question. I never yet tired of
shaking hands with my friends, and if you
will all come around I will be- glad to
meet you.”
At the conclusion of his talk the crowd
pressed forward to grasp his hand, and
the entire time of the stop was consumed
in this way. One very enthusiastic young
lady offered Col. Bryan a kiss, but he de-
clined it, saying: “Excuse me, I am not
Hobson.’’
WHERE THE PUBLIC SUFFERS.
San Antonio Express.
It is rather a peculiar commentary on
the liberty of the press in 'Texas that a
report of a legislative committee with re-
gard to the investigation of a public insti-
tution under state control can not be pub-
lished by responsible newspapers of the
state because there is no statutory enact-
ment defining privileged matter. The
public has a right to know the result of
the committee’s investigation, but the
newspaper has no assurance that the pub-
lication might not be construed as lihelous
by the courts which make the libel laws
as occasion demands.

The house has done well to- follow the
governor’s suggestion to permit invest-
ing school funds in the bonds of other
states. If the senate will pass the bill
the school fund’s interest account, which
is the available revenue, will be consid-
erably increased.

OUR PRESS POET.
Cisco Round-Up.
In the past few years the press of Texas
has had more or less to say about “Mary
Jane Cox,” “Sister Mary,” etc., until the
minds of our readers have become more
or less confused, for the wording would
indicate that Mary, the bright, blooming
editor of the Forney Messenger, to be a
woman, of course, while the substance of
the notices sounded more maamish than
womanish. But if they could only see
Mary on her native wood pile, cutting
wood for the better half to get dinner or
see her out with the boys at the press
gatherings they would promptly and ac-
curately class her “as being of the male
specie.” At the last session of the Texas
press association at Eureka -Springs, Ark.,
Mary was unanimously elected “poet” or
“poetess,” we “disremember” which, for
the ensuing year. Mary protested at the
time, but to no advantage. Just what
progress she has been making upon her
annual “pome” to be delivered f. o. b.
Dallas at the approaching May meeting
we have not been able to ascertain, but
evidently Mary does not feel over confi-
dent with her assignment, for last week
Col. Joe Taylor, the all round” editor of
the Clarkesville Tinies, executed a poem
on the weather, after reading which “Our
Mary felt constrained to say:
“The Press association can now see
wherein they have made a mistake in
choosing a poetess. Joe Taylor was the
proper man.”
Col. Taylor’s poem follows below:
Talk about your North Dakota where
the blizzards get their boost, talk about
your Minnesota where old zero goes to
roost, or about your airy Chilkoot robed
In eternal white—but you’d oughter been
in Clarkesville last Saturday night! You
can blow about your Klondikes, Siberias
and such, you may blow about your arc-
tics and polars just as much—you may
think you’ve felt cold weather, and maybe
you’re right—but you’d oughter. been in
Clarkesville last Saturday night! Cold?
Coldest weather ever yet befell—‘froze the

the milk inside the cows; -froze the fur off

Naval Cadets Will Not Be Commissioned
After Four Years .Service.
New York, N. Y., March 10.—A dispatch
to the Times1 from Washington says: It is
■evidetit from the nature of inquiries
reaching Washington that there is some
misunderstandirg about the fat© of those
naval cadets who sought, with the as-
sistance of frier ds in congress, to obtain
commissions immediately instead of being
obliged to serve the usual two years at
the end of the course in some commis-
sioned vessel oUthe navy before receiving
commissions as ensigns.
Senator Linasay'bf Kentucky made an
effort to secure^ a1 change in the academy
system by dispensing with the: two years’
cruise at the end of the academic course,
but he met wfithr/stJout opposition. The
senate afterward decided to shorten the
course, in conformity with the recom-
mendations m^ije. by, many successive su-
perintendents MjL^aids of visitors, the
argument being that it was useless to re-
quire two years Of. service during which
the cadet was j^efflaer one thing or an-
other, but just ’A despised and rudely
treated pin feather! official.
When the bill for the re-organization
of the personnel got into conference the
senate provision .foreshortening the course,
although it was desired Lj’- officers of the
navy who favored the bill, some of them,
considering it. the key to the whole sys-
tem, assuring;^ sufficient supply of offi-
cers to fill up the lower grades, the sen-
ate receded from the house and struck out
the provisions that it inserted permitting
cadets to receive their commissions at the
end of four years instead of six.
The result will be that the cadets who
last summer went into service with the
expectation that they would receive their
commissions will have to serve another
year aboard ship, then go back to An-
napolis to be examined and if found fit,
be commissioned as ensigns. There is so
much regret over this outcome of the
legislation for the personnel that an effort
will be made at the next session to
rect what is considered as a blunder.

New York’s Famous Street Is Not What
It Used to Be.
New York.—The Bowery saloon keepers
are sad. In fact, they are on the run. The
famous street is not what is used to be,
as you all no doubt know, but the Bowery
denizens have developed a fad. It is for
the combination coffee houses, and the sa-
loon keepers are either getting out of busi-
ness of moving up town. The saloon which
once had an irpn grip on the neighborhood
has been driven from its stronghold by
sheer force of superior numbers. The
thirsts of the lodger, the “bum,” the “hard
luckster,” and other Bowery products are
all alike insatiable for the refreshments
dispensed in the combination coffee house.
At least this is one reason given to ac-
count for the mushroom growth of that
class of restaurants. These houses are
‘quick lunch places, the outgrowth of a
Philadelphia importation. All are alike,
but whether it is the coffee that is a com-
bination -or the food, the managers of the
combination coffee houses say not.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS,
They Will Make Another Visit to
Isthmus—New Members.
New York, 'N. Y., March 10.—A dispatch
to the Herald from Washington says:
President MIcKinley intends to carry out
the provisions of the river and harbor ap-
propriation act regarding the isthmian
canal as promptly as possible. He will
continue the Walker canal commission in
service and will instruct it to make an-
other visit to the isthmus and make a sup-
plemental and more detailed report before
the meeting of the next congress. It is
probable that the president will add at
least two more members to the commis-
sion. One of these will probably be an of-
ficer,of the engineer corps of the army and
the other an engineer appointed from civil
life. Among the civilians under considera-
tion are Mr. Noble of Chicago, who was
a member of the Ludlow commission; Mr.
Morrison of New York and Mr. Randolph
of Chicago.
Inasmuch as most of the recent Ameri-
can surveys and investigations have been
in connection with the Nicaraguan route
it is probable that the Walker cotrimis-
sion will devote more of its time on its
next trip to the Panama route than was
the case on its previous visit to that re-
gion. The president will also conform to
the stipulations of the act as regards what
rights and privileges have been granted
and what work has been done, and will
also ascertain the cost -of purchasing such
rights as may have been granted. He
hopes that, when congress meets In '-De-
cember he will be able to present full in-
formation for the guidance of further leg-
islation.

New York, N. Y., March 10.—Maj. Gen.
M. C. Butler, one of the three Cuban evac-
uation commissioners, has written a letter
to John C. Calhoun of this city, in reply to
an inquiry from Mr. Calhoun as to what
would be the status of Americans seeking
trade concessions in Cuba. -Gen. Butler’s
letter, which is dated at Washington,
March 8, follows:
“All I know about concessions is that
among the last instructions sent to the
evacuation commission in Cuba were di-
rections to have every -concession granted
by the iS'pani-sh authorities after the sign-
ing of the protocol on the 12th of August,
cancelled or suspended. We at once ad-
dressed a communication to the Spanish
commission and Capt. Gen. Castellanos,
who succeeded Gen. Blanco as captain
general, informing them of the president’s
instructions. Gen. Castellanos promptly
Issued a decree carrying out the presi-
. dent’s wishes and thus ended a number of
so called concessions.
“If others have come into existence
since the evacuation commission left Ha-
vana on the 7th of Janury, last, I have
no knowledge of them. I am inclined to
think, however, that they exist largely,
if not entirely, in the excitable imagina-
tions of some persons who occasionally
allow themselves to be lashed into a fine
frenzy over imaginary things, for want
of. something better to do.
“I do know that the president and the
secretary of war have set their faces
steadily against the granting of any con»
cessions by anybody or to anybody until
they can be thoroughly examined and
recognized by impartial tribunals. I have
no idea that any concessions in Cuba will
be sanctioned by the administration unless
it can be made to appear that it would be
in the interests of the people of that island
and for the promotion of their business
-and prosperity. Something will have to
be done to encourage the introduction of
capital and business enterprises, if -the
marvelous richness of me island is to be
developed. No fears need be entertained
that -capital, always timid, is going to be
dumped into Cuba recklessly or indis-
criminately. Before it goes it must have
the assurance of protection and stability,
and I think we are bound to do everything
possible to give that assurance. Resolu-
tions by congress -will not do it, and the
best thing that could befall the Cuban
people would be -to have. congress keep its
hands off and leave the president to
adopt such measures as will best promote
their interests. If we may judge by the
past, he can safely be trusted an that be-
half,
“You ask me about the Foraker amend-
ment to the sundry civil bill recently
adopted by congress. With such informa-
tion as I have, I don't think suclh pro-
vision of law was necessary, and I am
unable to foresee its effect, further than
that it may increase the distrust already
existing In the minds of capitalists as to
the advisability and prudence of making
investments in the island. In one breath
we are told that the United States forces
ought to be withdrawn -and leave the Cu-
bans to work out their own destiny and in
the next we have a proposition from con-
gress showing a want of confidence in
tiheir ability to take care of themselves.
“Every concession granted, if -any should
be, must necessarily be subject to the af-
firmance or revocation by any future gov-
ernment permanently established there,
but whatever can be done by the presi-
dent, secretary of war or anybody else to
encourage the development of the re-
sources of Cuba and aid the people in
■getting on their feet again, ought to be
done and done promptly. I have no right
to speak for the president and the secre-
tary of war, but I must say without im-
propriety that they both realize the grav-
ity of the responsibility which rests upon
them. An accurate knowledge of con-
ducting matters in the island justifies me
in saying they may be safely trusted to
do nothing except what will redound to
the best interests of the people of Cuba.
There may have been and may hereafter
be errors of judgment, but the best of us
are liable to make mistakes.
“The one thing needful in Cuba is the
introduction of American methods of
transacting business and an opening made
for American enterprise and capital, re-
lief from Spanish monopolies imposed for
the benefit ot the Spanish, not the Cuban
people, and the president and the secre-.;
tary of war ought not to be hampered in SP(
their efforts along -these lines. I shall re-
joice to see -the day when the oppressed
and impoverished people of Cuba are well
advgan-ced on the road to prosperity -and
peace. They will welcome capital and
sound business methods from whatever
source they may come, and I believe will
secure pnotection and safety to all who
may go. The president, the secretary of
war and the United States officials on -that
island will aid in every proper way to sus-
tain them. Of this I am confident, you
may rest assured.
“If the sundry civil bill, as amended by
the Foraker amendment, is to have the
effect, which I can scarcely believe, of
putting a stop to the development of the
island during its military -occupation by
the United States forces, then the mili-
tary occupation will be a. curse instead of
a benefit, and the'-soioner it is ended the
better.”
