The formal announcement of
Mr. K. P. Curtis, of this city for
the office of railroad commis-
sioner, is to be found in another
column in this issue. The plat-
form upon which he proposes t• >
stand is briefly expressed but it
covers some important points.
That paragraph relating to his
endorsement by railway employes
of the state is one that many per-
sons not connected with railroad-
ing will give due consideration.
It has always been urged, as a
defect in the Texas commission,
that no practical railroad man
was on the board, and in this an-
nouncement, such a man is pre-
sented.
Mr. Curtis has been a resident
of Temple for about a year, lie
is conductor on M. K. A T. local
train between Temple and Hills-
boro. He has been with the
Katy road for about 15 years, and
has seen service in several de-
partments, all the time a close
student of the principles of rail-
roading. He has for years been
a prominent representative of
orders, on the most important
committees and has had close
acquaintance with the high of-
ficials, who respect and regard
him as an intelligent, conscien-
tious and conservative man,
hence his influence has been

It wasn't a debate, because both.'1'0"1 your excitement at any rait

were of the same opinion, that it
was a question of sink or swim.
The parting remark of one, as he
pushed the bell preparatory to
leaving the car, was (his, "Well,
I work every day in the week
and part of the time on Sundays,
and I don't get half enough to
eat: barely enough cheap cloth-
ing to cover my body and never
enough to pay my rent, and if
anybody thinks there is much
pleasure derived from such an
existence one can have my job
any time.—Syracuse Herald.
Spell- binding,spread-eagie or-
atory will be the order of the day
at both <>f the approaching na-
tional conventions. One meets
at Philadelphia, where the de-
claration of independence was
signed and the liberty bell pro-
claimed that event to the world;
the other convention meets at
Kansas City on the anniversary
of the day when this declaration
was announced by the tones of
this same liberty bell. No doubt
there will be a hot time, but be-
ween the two we hope this great

Things look differently through
an unagitated eye. In a commo-
tion once | wrote a letter and
sent it, and wished I had not. In
my later years I had another
commotion, and wrote a long let-
ter; but life had rubbed a little^
sense into me, and I kept that
letter in my pocket against the
•lay when I could look it over
without agitation and without
tears. I was glad I did. Less
and less it seemed necessary to
send it. I was not sure it would
do any hurt, but in my doubtful-
ness I learned to reticence, and
eventually it was destroyed.
Time works wonders. Wait
till you can speak calmly, and
| then you will not need to speak,
it may be. Silence is the most
massive thing conceivable some-
times. It is strength in very
grandeur. It is like a regiment
ordered to stand still in the mad
fury of battle. To plunge in were
twice as easy.
