POPULATION OF TEXAS CITIES:
The population of the seven largest
cities of Texas on June 1, 1904, as esti-
mated by the United States Census Bu-
reau, Is as follows:
SAN ANTONIO 59,531
Houston 54,468
Dallas 49.678
Galveston 32.613
Fort Worth 26.960
Austin 24,148
Waco 23,162
North Carolina lias endorsed one of
her favorite sons, Governor Aycock,
for th£ Vice Presidency. This is a
new Democratic rooster in the Na-
tional barnyard.
The National Association of Bee-
keepers will meet in Philadelphia
very soon. Will the Presidential bee-
keepers — Messrs. Fairbanks, Tatt,
Shaw, Bryan, Hearst and company—
be there? \
Perry Belmont says the Democrats
should direct their chief assault
against the stand-pat policy of the Re-
publican party. By the time the
Democrats get their guns limbered up
the Republicans will doubtless have
changed their stand-pat to a move-on
policy.
"1 ask you to compare Democratic
promises with Republican perform-
ances," says Secretary Taft. Isn t
this rather "rubbing it in?" What
chance have the Republicans given
the Democrats to perform anything
except that ancient act made historic
fcy the monkey and the parrot? •
Tom Campbell says that rebating
which was done while he was man-
ager of the International & Great
Northern Road was done without his
knowledge or consent. Does he pro-
pose to maintain the same sort of
ignorance in conducting the depart-
ments of State with whose workings
it is his duty to keep informed?
Eight hundred families have settled
on the public lands alone of West and
Southwest Texas in the past eight
months. Many times that number
have been brought into the State in
the same interval by the railroad im-
migration departments and private
land colonization companies. Texas,
especially Southwest Texas, is grow-
ing by leaps and bounds.
The railroads of Texas claim that
tfrey can show the existing reductions
of rates have operated to put the
reads upon an unprofitable basis. If
this be true, it is only a question of
time when the rates will have to be
raised or the roads closed down.
Meanwhile, the test of it. will be made
in a series of suits filed to enjoin all
of the rulings of the Railroad Com-
mission. In view of such a situation,
and the further fact that the whole
material prosperity and advancement
cf Texas is bound up in the main-
tenance and further extension of rail-
, reads, it does seem that the anti-raii-
rcad agitation of certain candidates
for Governor is injurious to the best
interests of the State.
Concerning the railroad in politics,
the Dallas News says: "When the mat-
ter of the establishment of a Railroad
Commission was before the people it
v/as an issue. It was decided when
the election came on, and now the
Commission is provided for in the
Constitution. Under the laws, the
Commission has every power to con-
tiol the roads. The Governor and
legislature have little to do with the
matter. Moreover, when the Com-
mission fight was on many voted for
the creation of such Commission so
that the whole railroad question
might be taken out of politics. But
politicians appear to be unalterably
opposed to taking the railroads out
of politics. They want to ride the
railroad hobby in order to get offices."
Fortunately, however, the electors in
this State have become wise to this
sort of thing and have come to look
uron those politicians who try to
build themselves up by abusing the
railroads as resorting to the prac-
tices of the demagogue and as not
being worthy of consideration.
Judge Taft and the South.
Judge Taft appeals to the South to
bieak up the political solidarity that
at present obtains, and he says he
makes this appeal in no partisan
spirit, because he does not believe
that such a result would necessarily
increase the probability of continu-
ance in power of the Republican
party.
As matters now stand, the Solid
South is opposed by a solid North,
the solidity of the South restraining
many voters in the North who might
have left the Republican party but
tor what they regarded as an injus-
tice and danger of Southern political
conditions. On the other hand, many
Southern voters adhere to the Demo-
datic party because of local condi-
tions and the ever-present fear of
negro domination.
In picturing this situation, Judge
Taft presents as the only remedy the
wholesale desertions of Southern
Democrats from their own party to
the Republican standard, without spe-
cial reference to the principles and
policies represented by the two po-
litical parties and without other in-
ducement than that of being on the
•winning side, in which event their
I olitical importance as communities
and the significance of their views
upon measures and men would be
vastly enhanced.
It has occurred to the broad-mind-
ed, thinking men of the South that
there is some disadvantage in this
overwhelming preponderance of our
political party "which does them no
good in National politics and deprives
their communities of the inestimable
benefits of the presence in local poli-
tics of two parties, each of which, if
it does wrong, has a real chance of
being - punished for its misconduct."
It is quite true that a large number
cf the thoughtful business men of the
South, who maintain their allegiance
to the Democratic party, do not sym-
pathize with the theory that "a pro-
tective tariff is robbery," who believe
that the racred trust in the Philip-
pines should be fully discharged, anl
v ho did not sympathize with the at-
titude of Democratic Senators who
opposed confirmation of the Panama
Canal treaty or of those who opposed
the San Domingo treaty.
Tho Democrats of the South are
r.of more a unit in all political and
economics than are the Republicans
of the North, and they do not vote
contrary to their individual convic-
tions through allegiance to the party
tickets more than do the tariff re-
vision Republicans, who vote for
stand-pat nominees and who help to
maintain the political solidarity of
their section.
Judge Taft practically admits that
the Republican party is a sectional,
rather than a National, party, and
that it does not appeal to the con-
st rvative business of the South. "As
long," he says, "as the Republican
party in the Southern States shall
represent little save a factional chase
tor Federal offices, in which business
men and men of substance in the
community have no desire to enter,
and in the result of which they have
no interest, we may expect the pres-
ent political conditions of the South
to continue."
This is well said, and is much
more to the point than the somewhat
rambling discussion of political solid-
arity. "The Republican party cf
North Carolina would be much
stronger as a voting party if all the
Federal offices were filled by Demo-
ctats," Judge Taft says. If that be
tiue of North Carolina, it must be
equally true of the other Southern
States. When Judge Taft visits Texas
next fall ho will find that the Repub-
lican party in this State is made up
almost entirely of Federal officehold-
ers and of those who expect to hold
Federal offices, insofar as the white
voters are concerned.
Can he suggest a better remedy
than has yet been applied to win
Democratic voters to the party in
power? Perhaps it may He in the
suggestion he offers as to the situa-
tion Jn North Carolina—in the smash-
ing of the Federal patronage machine
iu the Southern States and in a
broader recognition of the South as
an Integral part of the Union by the
Republican party. Up to the present
writing the policy of the Republican
party has been rather to drive away
than to attract to its standard the
white voters of the South, who are
loyal to the Government and to their
political traditions, but most of all to
their country—that part of it espe-
cially which is their heritage.
Policyholders' Supervision.
A policyholders' committee has
been organized to overthrow the pres-
ent management of the mutual life
insurance companies having their
headquarters in New York and doing
business in nearly all parts of the
civilized world.
Recent investigation developed the
fact that the general officers of these
I
['
companies were being paid enormous
salaries—in one case the salary of
the insurance company president be-
ing three times as much as that of
the President of the United States—
und that there had been improper di-
version of the funds which properly
belongs to the policyholders.
It is asserted by the policyholders'
committee that the men at the head
of these insurance companies are en-
abled to maintain their positions by
the influence they exert upon policy-
holders through the agents of the
companies who secure a sufficient
number of proxies to assure their
practical endorsement and re-election.
In the two insurance companies there
are nearly one and one-quarter million
policyholders, yet in an election held
last year for officers and directors
the total number of votes cast was
lut 2528, and these mostly proxies.
The two companies have accumu-
lated assets of nearly a billion dol-
lars, and it is proposed by the policy-
holders' committee to require the an-
nual distribution among the policy-
holders of the dividends to which they
are entitled and to prevent as far as
possible the undue increase of "the
vast accumulations which are the pro-
lific source of temptation to misman-
agement and waste." It is also pro-
posed to form a permanent policy-
holders' organization to maintain a
vigilant supervision of the conduct
of the business of the companies and
to make an independent audit of their
books.
Insurance companies which have
more than a million policyholders are
to that extent public institutions'
Tvhich are amenable to such regula-
tions as will protect the vast army of
contributors to the enormous fund
provided for the support of the wid-
ows and orphans of policyholders, and
it would seem that there should be
some sort of supervising agency to
correct and prevent abuses. There is
no apparent reason why millions of
dollars should be piled up in the com-
pany's treasury as a temptation to
extravagance and misuse instead of
distributing it In dividends to those,
to whom it rightly belongs.
The recent heavy rains have filled
the water holes and other similar re-
ceptacles in and around San Antonio,
and unless each and every house-
holder takes precautions promptly
there will be a breeding of mosquitoes
that will be an annoyance and a
menace to health tho remainder of
the summer. Now is the time to re-
vive the anti-mosquito campaign.
Thus far San Antonio has been prac-
tically free from the pest, and a little
concerted action by everybody right
now will continue that desirable con-
dition.
An attempt to hold up the Govern-
ment and public-spirited citizens of
San Antonio for exorbitant profits on
pioperty needed for the new brigade
post would be an unfortunate exhibi-
tion of shameful selfishness. No good
citizen will take advantage of such d
situation to clog the wheels of prog-
ress.
The gallant admirals of the Alamo
Yacht Club will sail today for Rock-
port to take part in the "schooner"
regatta, it is to be hoped that the
sea will never get too rough to en-
ahle them successfully to "splice the
main brace."
Born—A Prince.
"Her Imperial and Royal Highness,
the Crown Princess of the German Em-
pire and Prussia, was happily delivered
of a Prince."—Official Gazette.
"Born: A Prince " What, not a baby?
"Heir to Hohenzollern Schloss "
Isn't he, like other infants,
Made to dandle and to toss?
Won't lie choke and yell and splutter,
Kick and gasp and turn d^irk blue,
When pins jab his epidermis.
Just as other babies do?
Are all royal youngsters furnished
With congenital front teeth,
So their lips, when first they open.
Show the ivory underneath?
Won't the Princeling have the colic?
Will he stay asleep at night?
Or must papa Friedrich Wilhelm
Walk the floor till morning light?
He, a future imprrator,
May escape all childhood's ills,
Yet we'll bet some doctor'll soak him
Pretty full of noisome pills.
Still, hero's to you, Kaiser Wilhelm;
You're a grandpapa at last.
All the Brandenburg electors
Greet you grimly from the past.
All the guns that thundered welcome
Did but proper honor pay
To a Fourth of July Princeling,
Born on Independence Day.
—Charles E. Taylor in Washington Post.
Of Interest to Women.
Many of these sashes are of striped
ribbon, with scalloped edges button-
holed by hand. It is impossible to ex-
aggerate the smartness of a ceinture
finished in this manner, and particularly
eflectlve is it in Nattier blue upon a
white ground when worn with a pure
white muslin toilet. Another sash has
ends of point d'Alencon lace with one
edge only bound over with satin chiffon
ribbon.
Lawn and lace ruffles are being ap-
plied to the top of the very high lace
collars now worn; they mark a new
epoch in neckwear that should become
popular. There was a time when ru'-
fles were the accepted finish to every
frock, but for lonE enough we have been
content with a collar that lac ks such an
adornment. The taller the neck and the
more slender it Is, the more elegant will
this little ruffle look.
WHAT STATE PAPERS SAY
The Opening for Small Factories.
iH no earthly reason why Texas
snoula not make shirts, overalls, corsets
and other products ot' cotton and wool.
as 8®veral cities are. already doing in a
small way. Jn like manner we can man-
ufacture buggies and biscuits; we may
can vegetables; we can make creamery
butter without limit, for we have the raw
material and the demand is unlimited.
.'r? ** wo cannot make such close
profits by reason of our lack ot' skill, <»;i
such commodities the local demand is
enormous, and the saving of the freight
alone is ;i handsome margin.
in all these industries in Illinois and
Indiana the profits run from 10 to 25 per
cent. Texas can easily equal those com-
modities in business ability, as is demon-
stated by her bankers and merchants,
and if the same intelligence were ad-
dressed to manufacturing it would pay
as well.
It is well enough to invite outside capi-
tal, but the chief thing for Texas towns
to do is for each to determine for itself
what its location advises; what is its de-
pendable supply of raw material; what is
is its market and where it may find the
necessary labor. These things assured,
all that remains is personal ability to
manage and the courage to begin.
The small industry is the Ivst. It does
not invite the wrath of the trust; it does
not encounter the vicissitudes of finan-
cial distress; it. does not wreck its in-
vestors if it has to be temporarily closed;
it gains experience as it proceeds, de-
velops skilled labor and wins its way by
slow process. As population multiplies
it will expand in the ordinary and sub-
stantial way of every other business, and
in due course it will attract other indus-
tries to utilize its by-products or to share
the advantages which it has made availa-
ble.
Haste will make waste in manufactur-
ing as in any other department of human
endeavor.—Fort Worth Reeord.
The man who wants to get into manu-
facturing in Texas should not hesitate
to start in a small way and build up by
experience on .a solid foundation. There
is one manufacturing corporation in this
city that started on $500 capital, with its
general offices in a building that had
been a chicken house, that now does a
business running Into the thousands and
is making big money. Start small and
grow; that's the way.
Colonel Cecil's Way.
A leading Fort Worth Republican
writes an open letter to Col. Cecil A. Lyon
calling upon the Texas Czar to run f' = i"
the Republican nomination for Governor.
To anyone who knows the astute Cecil
this will sound extremely funny. The
Colonel now possesses the realities of
power and he his not likely to get out
and hustle after an ignis fatuus that will
fade like the baseless fabric of a vision.
Cecil had much rather name some other
patriotic gentleman willing to be sacri-
ficed, and he will proceed to do this when
the State Republican convention meets.—
Ivaredo Times.
Colonel Cecil knows his business thor-
oughly and discerns the substance from
the shadow. If tho time ever comes when
the Republicans have a chance in Texas
it will doubtless be indicated by Colonel
Cecil's heading the ticket. Meanwhile
Senator Bailey's epigram, "As barren of
results as a Republican campaign in
Texas," will prevent the astute Cecil
from trying to gather figs of thistles.
♦ ♦ ♦
Senator Davidson's Candidacy.
Senator A. B. Davidson, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, spoke here Satur-
day, making a splendid impression, lie
is a man of "splendid character and has
made a good record as Senator.—Hender-
son Times.
Senator Davidson is in every way de-
serving of the honor of the Lieutenant
Governorship which he seeks. From all
indications the sovereign people of Texas
will bestow that honor where it is so
worthily merited.
♦ ♦ ♦
Practical Politics.
The Democrats of Texas thought
enough of Sam Lanham to twice nominate
him for the office of Governor. No one
protested the second nomination. Now
comes Mr. Colquitt and says the Demo-
crats of Texas did a foolish thing. Why
didn't Mr. Colquitt say that when Lan-
ham was involved? In other words, why
didn't he have the courage George Clark
exhibited when Jim Hogg was serving his
first term?—Waco Times-Herald.
Mr. Colquitt was not running for Gov-
ernor then and it would not have profited
him to raise a protest. The editor of the
Times-Herald seems to think that prac-
tical politicians are going to make heroes
and martyrs of themselves just for fun.
♦
A Shop-Worn Issue.
The Express remarks: A candidate for
the Legislature says his platform is anti-
corporation. We don't know who the
candidate is, but it is safe to bet he is a
demagogue. I-Iowever, the time has about
passed in Texas when a man can ride into
office by abusing • corporations.—Alice
Echo.
Yet there are candidates still trying
to work that worn-out gag. It is Colonel
Campbell's chief asset in the race for
Governor, and he and others are talking
buncombe about what they will do to cor-
porations if they get into office. Prob-
ably they will do nothing, even if they
should get in, because the good sense of
the majority will prevent any demagogi-
cal destruction of legitimate business in-
terests on which the prosperity of Texas
rests.
C. H. Jenkins Endorses Boll.
Hon C. H. Jenkins of Brownwood, who
has for years been recognized as tho
strong friend and supporter of tho
Farmers' Union, has to say of Judge
Bell:
"Prior to 1S94 I had but a slight per-
sonal acquaintance with him. That year
he was my opponent in the race for Con-
gress—my political adversary. I held, as
I now remember, twenty-nine joint dis-
cussions with him. 1 was not looking for
his perfections, but his imperfections.
Under such circumstances if there had
been a 'yellow streak' in him I would
have seen it. At the end of the race ho
had my unbounded confidence as an hon-
est, upright gentleman and a true patriot.
His subsequent career as Attorney Gen-
eral of Texas has confirmed my good
opinion that I then formed of him. If
he is elected Governor of Texas I will
feel absolutely sure that Texas will have
for her chief executive not only a big-
brained, clear-headed man, but a clean
man, who will be governed by patriotic
motives and who at all times and under
all circumstances will have the courage
of his convictions."
Bed-Rock Price.
The proprietor of a Boston hotei says
that a week or two ago a dusty, tired-
looking person from Nashua, N. H., pre-
sented himself at the desk of the hotel,
stating that he desired a room.
"I've et my supper an' shall be» off be-
fore breakfast," said he, gravely, to the
clerk; "now what would be vour lowest
price for a room to sleep in? '
"One dollar, if you leave at 6 o'clock
tomorrow morning," was the reply.
"Well—er—wouldn't half a dollar make
it jest about right?" demanded the way-
farer, producing a battered fifty-cent
piece. "You see, I'm all excited up,
travelln,' an* I don't expect to sleep
more»'n half the time I'm there."—

DEMOCRATS
CAN PACIFY
THE COUNTRY
Russian Emperor and Court Seem
Ready to Turn to Them to
Effect This End.
THEY CONTINUE TO
STAND BY THEIR GUNS
ST. PETERSBURG, July 10.—The re-
fusal of the Constitutional Democrats to
participate, having rendered it impos-
sible to form a coalition ministry, the
Emperor and Coy i t, in face of the ris-
ing spirit of revolution in the country
and the constant extending evidence of
dissatisfaction in the army, seem at last
ready to turn to the Constitutional
Democrats as the only means of paci-
fying the country as foreshadowed in
an interview with General Trepoff.
Negotiations looking to tho formation
of a ministry composed of Constitutional
Democrats nave been formally opened
through the intermediary of former Min-
ister of Agriculture Wrmiloff, leader of
the new Center Partv but the first
propositions of the Government failed
rnmpletely owing to the impossibility <>f
the Constitutional Democrats accepting
the three conditions imposed, namely, tin
abandonment of the principle of the
forced expropriation of land, full amnesty
for political prisoners and to agree to
the summer recess of Parliament.
'ine Constitutional Democrats' intend
to stand by their guns and believe the
Government must shortly accept their
terms.
Street demonstrations and rioting are
becoming more frequent in Moscow and
St. Petersburg-, which Is regarded as be-
inr a bad sign.
At Moscow 7000 employes of the Frok-
hnroff mill, who were at the forefront
during the riotincr there in December
last, have gone out on strike, present-
ing a series of impossible demands, in-
eluding pay for the time lost during the
uprising, proving clearly that their de-
mands are mere pretexts to stop work.

Since
1857
ST. PETERSBURG. July 10.—The full
report of the Cronstadt courtmartial
shows that Admiral Rojestvensky was
acquitted on the ground that he was not
in his full senses and therefore was not
accountable for what transpired at the
time of the surrender. Some of the of-
ficers who were tried with Rojestvensky
were acquitted, their guilt not being
proved.
The recommendations for mercy in the
case of Captain De Colognue, chief of
Rojestvenskys staff; Captain Baranoff,
of the torpedo boat destroyer Bedovi;
FUlipovsky and Leontieff, who were
found guilty and sentenced to be shot,
were in accordance with their reputa-
tions and based on the physical and men-
tal demoralization produced by the long
voyage and shock of the disaster in bat-
tle.
They were also credited with a desire
to save the life of Rojestvensky.
MUTINY AND FIGHTING.
Serious Results of Attempt to Disarm
the Seventh Reserve Cavalry,
Who "Struck."
TAMBOV, Central Russia, July R (Sun-
day).—A mutiny, followed by serious
fighting, has broken out among the
troops forming the garrison here, due to
an attempt of the military authorities
to arrest and disarm the Seventh Re-
serve Cavalry, who "struck," presenting
a series of political and service demands.
Taking advantage of a great religious
procession today, the authorities sent the
regiment to escort the processionists and
preserve order, and attempted, in the ab-
sence of the bulk of the regiment, to ar-
rest those remaining in barracks and
stationed at the railway station.
The regiment, on hearing of this ac-
tion, left the procession and galloped to
the rescue of their comrades, firing as
they rode. They cut their way through
other troops to the barracks, where they
barricaded themselves and beat off re-
peated attacks of thloyal troops. Shots
could still be heard at midnight.
Tho detachment of the regiment at the
railway station cut the telegraph and
semaphore wires, and is holding out
there. An officer of the ralway corps
and the commanding officer and a ser-
geant of the Seventh Cavalry are report-
ed to have been killed, while many were
wounded.
^ The procession broke up in a panic, and
as this dispatch is being filed the popu-
lation is in a state of terror.
Mr. Bryan's Great Speech.
SAN SABA, Tex., July 7.—Editor Daily
Express: Though 1 am personally a
stranger to you, I venture to thank you
for your editorial in the issue of the fith
inst. entitled "Mr. Bryan's Great Speech."
When I saw the speech in your issue of
the day before and had read it I said to
a member of my family that it was a
very r« markable speech, one which the
world would read and which would do
the world good. It is of the fact that
The Express, a great new-paper, has
called marked attention to the very part
of it that will do good to humanity, that
I desire to express appreciation.
I venture to do this because my posi-
tion causes me to see and feel keenly the
great merit of such conspicuous service
Since I have been a reading man have I
not seen such an utterance as Mr. Bryan's
from such a source; neither have I seen
a more conspicuous commendation of a
good thing in a great daily newspaper,
going into the attention of all sorts and
classes of men.
Your editorial is calculated to do great
good, and it is in line, though not avow-
edly so nor in the same style of expres-
sion as of my own calling in life--the
direct ministry of Christ. Hence, because
I feel such deep appreciation for the
good word said at the right time and in
the right place, from the tripod or i lie
newspaper, and because it is just as well
to enjoy the flowers before we get into
the grave, I have ventured to Bay 111is
word of commendation, trusting you to
receive it kindly. Vour humble servant
in Christ. A. I*. SCARBOROUGH.
MONTALON SURRENDERS.
Ladrone Leader in the Philippines
Lays Down His Arms.
MANILA, P. I., July 10.—Montalon, the
ladrone leader, surrendered to Colonel
Brandholtz, Assistant Chief of the Con-
stabulary, at Tallsay July 8 and was re-
moved to Cavite for trial. The capture
of Montalon leaves only one more la-
drone leader at large in Luzon. Chief of
the Constabulary Allen has announced
that all outlaws must stand trial. The
Government has been criticised for not
hastening the trials.
ONE MAN CAME DOWN.
Reduced Price of Property 20 Per
Cent—Other Property to
Ee Condemned.
(.trie property owner in the district to
bo purchased for tho enlargement of
Kurt Sum Houston made a reduction ot
$1000 In the price at which he held Ills
[i nlay, li was a reduction
por i i at of tho original fig-
1:4 immediately accepted by
having in charge the pur-
property y >:
of about 20
tiro and wa.
the committt
chase of the properties.
This is a reduction of one of the six
places of property which are said to
have been hold at an unreasonable value.
It is probable, that the committee will
not be able to deal so fortunately witli
the other property holders.
The i'nited States District Attorney's
office is now preparing proceedings of
condemnation against those property
holders. A board of appraisers will ba
appointed to fix a fair value on tho
property. The Government has the right
of eminent domain and can condemn
such land as it may need for its pur-
poses.

A bottle of delicious, refreshing Coca-Cola is as much a
part of your enthusiasm as the game itself. It is the most
delightful drink in the world, and enters perfectly into the
spirit of all recreations, outings and games. It quenches
thirst, satisfies the taste, and refreshes the mind, body
and nerves.
Look for trade-mark on crown stopper and blown into the
bottle. This is your only protection against imitations.
