SOME SOUND ADVICE FOR THE
WORKING MAX.
No class of citizens need the law more
than the la-boring people of the country.
They depend more than any other class
upon the conditions of peace and pood
order which assure and invite enter-
prise and investments of capital. They
have no fortunes of hoarded wealth with
which to buy engines of war or with
which they may flee in safety to the ut-
termost parts of the earth. Many of
them depend day after day upon their
opportunities to earn their bread. Others
have all their interests and hopes
wrapped up in the homes and families
which they strive faithfully to support.
'To convert into laws the prejudices of
the country against investors of capital
is to strike the laboring man a cruel
blow. To encourage lawlessness and an-
archy is to leave him jobless and hope-
less. The real enemies of the working-
man are the desperate demagogues who
take advantage of his organizations, ap-
peal to his prejudices and incite him to
violence and crime. The Dallas Citizen
Workman has an articCe on "The Bac-
teria of Anarchism" that is in the main
directly in line with truths that The
News has endeavored to impress upon
all from the first. To some the plain
statements of The News have been ex-
ceedingly distasteful, but even to these it
has been considered fair and kind to de-
clare the facts plainly. The "conserva-
tive members of labor organizations
know very well what they have been
forced to suffer and to lose by the ex-
tremists who have not hesitated to direct
the influence and power of their organi-
zations toward disturbance, defeat and
disaster. It is certainly time these or-
ganizations were ridding themselves of
their dangerous elements. It is time they
■were declaring against violence and out-
lawry in all cases. It is time they were
raising their hands for law and order,
for peace and safety, for prosperity and
progress. They owe it to themselves, to
their families and to their country to do
this. With lessons of common sense like
that contained in the article from the
Workman it will not be long before a
decided turn toward the conservative
methods of the law may be expected
even amongst the warring miners. The
article begins with a statement from
General Grand Master Workman Sov-
ereign as follows:
The working people own ninety-nine votes
to the other fellow's one. Let the working-
men of the country quit their divisions on
party lines, study economic questions and
unite with those with whom, In their en-
larged vision, they agree.
Following this warning against dema-
gogues In and out of their own ranks
who have misled and voted thousands of
them like sheep in the -past, the article
continues:
No obligation is more imperative upon
the individual than that which demands
that he shall not sow the germs of phys-
ical, moral or economic disease. The wel-
fare of society imperatively demands that
you answer this question: Are you guilty
of sowing any of these germs in the social
body? When we take up the "study of
economic questions to unite ourselves with
those with whom, in our enlarged vision,
we agree." we must admit that our actions,
based on what we learn, will be beneficial
or otherwise in exact correspondence with
the truth or error contained in what we
learn. We must not always read or hear;
we must th:nk over, analyze, weigh and
pass Judgment upon all that is taught us
thus exercising the highest function of
mind, and not only must we have a reason
for our convictions, but the courage ol our
opinions, uniting with those with whom we
agree. This is a programme thai appeals
to the best a man has In him. It is an ac-
knowledgment thai In our civilization the
limit of propagation by force ha* been
reached. Beyond this limit propagation
must be by honesty and intelligence • • «
If there is a condition, the result of legKa-
tlve enactment, from which we sufTer, then
we who claim the ownership o! "ninety-
nine votes to the other fellow's one" are the
ones who have caused the injury. Let us
face this fact like men of honest intelli-
gence. remembering that to say we were
mistaken yesterday Is but another way of
aaylng we are wiser to-day than we were
yesterday.
This has been the contention of The
News even against the most popular
^schemers and leaders of men, whether
these men were being misled by party
politician* or labor agitators. There is
no safety in this country outside of the
individual intelligence and political in-
dependence of the citizen. "One of the
99," as this writer signs himself, de-
clares:
Ample reason for thte course of action
can be found in our experience during the
last year. The suffering, discontent and
general stagnation of all industry and busi-
ness; the idle workmen and the idle capital
that are such marked features of the times
and attributable to the uncertainty caused
by the contention for supremacy between
the advocates of differing policies more
than to the operation of any other agent
or reason. This fact is developing an acute
condition in which men are demanding that
measures shall be promptly enacted into
laws without further consideration, in order
to put an end to the uncertainty from
■which they are suffering, continuing the
old conditions unchanged or the new con-
ditions advocated, even though imperfectly
matured, as far as preferable to a continu-
ance oi uncertainty. * * * We cling to
the right to use the ballot as to our liberty,
and would as fiercely light for the preser-
vation of that right as did those who so
won it for us. The logical sequence of our
position on this question is: Having ac-
quired the right to govern, and, insisting
upon the exercise of that right, we must
accept the responsibility of our acts and
not blame the unfavorable results of polit-
ical agitation and legislation upon "the
other fellow ' who has but one vote. We
can not do that. The science of mathe-
matics is against us. If we are capable of
studying economical questions we are in-
capable of disputing the simple rules of
arithmetic.
After submitting an argument for
"measures" rather than "men" in politi-
cal campaigns and in the legislation of
the country the following truth is pro-
claimed:
The lessons of experience are dearly
bought, but the price does not have to be
paid twice if the lessons are correctly
learned and properly utilized the first time.
The only way in which justice can be se-
cured is by doing justice. Let us be sure
we are guided by this truth in all that we
propose to do. The distress of the unem-
ployed, the millions of idle capital declare
the truth that labor and capital are of one
bone and one flesh; that an injury to one
is an injury to both. * * * Now let us
make an honest confession. We have lis-
tened to the ranting of demagogues who
have appealed to our prejudices and pas-
sions, who have been too honest or too
Ignorant to appeal to ar reason and sens?
cf justice, and have thought to right our
sel'f-induced wrongs by striking capital a
stinging blow. Now we are appalled to
find our own blood flowing out of the
wounds we have made. Is not this suffi-
cient to teach us that labor and capital
are of -me blood? Justice for one 13 justice
for both.
It is reassuring and encouraging to
find sound doctrine like this taking root
In the ranks of the tollers of the nation.
Let them declare their independence as
free citizens and free voters and assert
their rights at the ballot box. By all
means let them hold themselves within
the rules of justice and law. "The only
way in which justice can be secured is
by doing justice." "Justice for one is
justice for both." Let them deny to no
man the common rights and privileges
which they claim for themselves. Let
them rid themselves of "ranting dema-
gogues," unscrupulous leaders, criminals
and anarchists. All these are the ene-
mies of the country, of the laboring
man's home and hope, of liberty, justice
and right. It is Impossible to conceive
anything that would do more to advance
the interests of the American laboring
man than a determined effort on his part
to rid himself of these enemies.
The Diu-gih'tor of the Confederacy shotf.d

What the Papers Throughout the State Are
Talking About,
The Whairton Spectator asks a question:
'The courts of Texas are always open to
Shi* citizen who may desire 'to assert his
rights or redress ills wrong's. Then if -the
reasonable or unreasonableness of traffic
rates is a matter to be finally determined
only by the courts of the country, what is
tin- use of a railroad commission whidh
takes from -the pockets of the taxpayers
$15,000 or thereabouts per annum? Will
somebody be kind enough to answer?
The Spectator of Saturday says:
Wharton county crops were never batter
at chi-s season of the year. Cotton bolls
a-s large as partridge eggs are plentiful In
Wharl: n county Improvements still go
on in Wharton despite the allege! hard
times A novel sight was witnesse.1 -a
ftiw evenings ago when the -pressure front
ahe waterworks engine was turned through
the mains, The waiter wais thrown high
In the air and fell in small 'Particles on
the street. The sun was shining brightly
and coming down In the middle of the
thoroughfare could be seen a most perfect
rainbow.
The Beevllie Bee says:
The injection of national Is-lies -In the
state campaign by any candidate for gov-
ernor looks very much like there are no
state Issues on which to get a boost. Con-
gressmen are the only candidates who can
with propriety expect to secure votes bv
being -in favor of this or that policy of
-Ohe nation-al government.
This lo.iks like an ungenerous fling at
Judge Reagan. Only abou-t one-half of the
planks in his -platform of thirty-five are
devoted to national issues. No pent up
Utlaa. con tracts his sowars. He takes la
everything from the days of the American
revolution to the undiscovered future. The
sunset of life gives iilm mystical lore and
!he tetls it a.II.
The 'Beevllie Use says:
William -Benton, a 'large stock raiser of
-Nueces county, known to many of -the
readers of (he -Bee, was in the city yester-
day. Knowing 'him to be a resident of the
vicinity from which so many tales of woe
lhave come a Bee reporter sought -him out
and asked if the account of destitution as
claimed existed were -really -true. He un-
hesitatingly pronounced much of it false.
Naturally, he says, among people as im-
provident as -Che lower class of Mexicans,
some distress exists at all times, but he I
affirms that there has 'been no occasion 1
for such a general appeal. Those on whom i
the drouth has fallen the hardest, he says, !
have -been the ranchmen, and the loss of
cattle heavy, -but this has been a windfall 1
to the poor Mexicans who wanted work, ;
for they got well paid for skinning dead |
cattle, of which there -was enough -to keep
'them employed sufficiently to earn a llveit- j
hood.
Editor Scurloclc of the Cleburne Chronicle
is president of the state press association.
That paper says:
The editor of the. Chronicle returned from
Fort Worth yesterday, where he went to
confer with the local press and citizens in
regard to the reception and entertainment
of the Texas press association, which con-
venes in that city on the 2(!th of June. The
Chronicle is pleased to state that hotel ar-
rangements have been made at $1, $1.50
and $1' per day. The association may be
assured of a royal and cordial reception by
the hospitable citizens of Fort Worth.
The Victoria Times on Judge Reagan and
others like him:
He has been a candidate for -some office
-long before the writer was born. Office
sfcieki-ng' becomes -chronic with so-me people
anl the Times regrets that Judge Reagan
has placed himself In an attitude calculat-
...10 C1r'a'e -suspicion 'that -he -is a chronic
olllee'-.jaker.
There is no room for suspicion in -the
case. The fact is as plain as daylight.
The Corpus Christi Sun does not shine for
Reagan. It says:
i he announcement of his candidacy for
governor by Mr. Reagan was nothing of a
surprise to those who had been watching
tne maneuvers of this wily old politician.
Nothing except pestilence and famine couid
be more disastrous to the state of Texas
than the candidacy of this man for gover-
nor un.ess it were bis election to that office.
The Garrison Signal reports the end of
an amicable religious controversy:
\--sterday witnessed the closing of the
theological -controversy that has kept the
interests of our peop.e up to fever heat for
the past eight days. To the credit of our
pe ,i,e let it be said that never before has
an event occurred with such pleasant re-
su.ts. Neither of the debaters came ex-
pecting or desiring to make proselytes, but
eaea hoping and praying that while they
protected the views they bath hold dear,
some gospel seed might find lodgment in
good soil. 'Tis true that on several occ-i-
s. ins a tiery repartee was indulged in that
might the better have been eliminated, but
n was very natural and to be expected
under the circumstances, but we are glad
to stale that even the sharp cross-fire -was
kept within due bounds and not allowed to
dr.ft into personalities. One man, and a
very Intelligent scholar, told the Signal man
that during this debate he had read more
o: tile Bible than he had done before in all
his lifetime, and that with a view of learn-
ing something for himself, hence who can
-measure or even conjecture the good that
may result from this controversy.
The Beaumont Journal remarks:
With the regularity of a well ordered and
reputable clock comes new stories from
Galveston anent the purposes of the Gulf
and Interstate railway people. The latest
information, if such it can be called, gives
lieaumont a place on the proposed line. The
story in general reads nicely, but the
"steel tie" feature alluded to In the wind-
up is just a little too much, for the people
oi this section at '.east, to swallow at one
gulp. If the Gulf and Interstate people
even equip their alleged road with common
sense, ev; ry-day, long leaf yellow pine ties,
they will do much more than is expected by
a great many people who have noted the
doings of the people back cf the scheme.
Bad man from Bitter creek. The Yoak-
um Times says:
The man who pretends to be your friend,
but '.s secretly your enemy, is more to be
feared than a dozen bold, aggressive ene-
mies who come out and declare themselves.
The Marlln Democrat:
A candidate who won't pay his announce-
ment fee after the publisher breaks a rule
to accommodate him, is about the meanest
•specimen of humanity on Gad's green earth.
He is unworthy the support of the people.
Is it any worse for a candidate to 'break
his pledge than for a publisher to do so?
It is as true as preaching that the only
candidates who pay for announcements are
those who pay in advance.
The Yoakum Times asks and answers the
question:
Has -Mr. Grasham flagrantly violated any
trust imposed upon him by the democracy
of the Tenth district? We think he had
made an excellent one-term member, and
know that it is democratic to indorse one
good term by returning the Incumbent to
his post of duty. Let us be consistent
with democratic teachings and follow ilts
time -honored -customs.
The Karne3 County News of recent date
says:
The largeut cotton bolls we have seen
this season were sent to our office last
Monday by L. von Roeder. They are pear-
ly gro.vn and look -as If they ought to 'be
open by th - middle of this montih. IM-r.
Itoeder states that he h-as ten acres like
the sample. He will 'be picking cotton
bo-ore anybody knows it. The cotton crops
of this county certainly never looked more
promising.
The Fort Worth Mail says:
It is not impossible that our railroad
commission may prove not only a very ex-
pensive article of state furniture, but, judg-
ing from the recent decision, It may not be
d a 'great deal of benefit to us after all.
IT, as the decision Intimates, no rate can
be fixed that will prevent roads from earn-
ing running expenses, interest on the in-
vestment and pay a reasonable dividend.
Where, in the name of common sense, will
Texas be benefited? It has never been
shown yet that a single road in Texas,
even under the old rates, was making a dol-
lar over running expenses, interest on in-
vestment and a 'fair dividend.
It is very inconvenient to have a reputa-
tion for generous giving. The Beeville Bee
aa.ys:
Soliciting -alms for charity seems to have
been reduced to a systam in this -town.
Those who -are known to respond are
pretty well kne-wn and are the ones from
whom contributions are most generally
solicited. Those who are not charitable
have been set down as -hard cases and are
not 'bothered.
It is better to be in moderate circum-
stances than rich.
He Who holds fast the golden mean
And lives -contentedly between
The little and the great,
Feels not the wants that pinch the poor
•Nor crowds that haunt the rich man's door.
-Emlbltterlmg all ihis state.
The Victoria Advocate says:
A look -at the growing list of aspirants
for state offices convinces us that the crap
of candidates is Indeed flourishing. But,
as so very tew of them will mature into
olllee-'holders, we 'must prepare for an ap-
palling crop failure.
The Texas Commercial Traveler sayis:
The decision of t'he supreme court of the
United States has decided conclusively that
the railroad commission of Texas, in fixing
rates on transportation of freight on the
lines in thris state, should not be conclu-
sive, and thus knocks out the principal
section of the Texas ilaiw, which stood alone
from the Georgia and other state commis-
sion laws. The result will be that t'he
commission law as a whole, without sec-
tions 5 and II, remains in force, ibut, to
become operative and effective, as con-
templated under the bill, a revision will
have to be made, both by the legislature
and the railroad commissioners, and Texas
practically has lost the intended usefulness
of the law for two years.

Attempt to Kill a Mexican—Stale Eggs
Thrown at a Populist Meeting.
Belton, Bell Co., Tex., June 4.—There was
another attempt to kill a Mexican here
Saturday night. Two Mexicans who work
oil Joe Ferguson's farm were walking down
Water street on their way home whep
two men emerged 'from the darkness and
shot one of the Mexicans through the
thigh, inflicting a painful flesh wound. No
cause was assigned for the shooting, and
so far as known none existed. This thing
of rocking or shooting Mexicans is get-
ting to be frequent. The officers and the
community are becoming aroused over it
and say it must be stopped.
Tin' meeting at the Methodist church is
progressing with increasing Interest. Last
night the church was crowded to its fullest
capacity and hundreds had to go away for
want of room. Rev. Mr. Bolton of Wax-
ahachie is here rendering valuable assist-
ance and Rev. Mr. Bradfieid of Brown-
wood will return to-day. The meeting will
be continued this week and probably longer.
There was a populist meeting at the
1'nion Bluff school house, ten miles north
of here, Saturday night. Mr. Sam linker
was addressing the audience and telling
them of the iniquities of the democratic
party, when an ancient and unsavory egg
came through one of the windows and
struck him in the face. He tinned his
head a little ways and was struck on the
neck by another egg. Vigorous search was
made for the offender, but lie was not
found. Other speakers followed Mr. Baker,
but did not receive the treatment lie did.
The better element of the people condemns
such practices.
A MISSING AGENT.
Leaves Word that He Has Gone Away on
Personal Business.
Sherman, Tex., June 4.—Traveling Auditor
Kimball of -the St. Louis, Southwestern
railway to-night practically completed
checking out Agent Pettigrew, and in the
morning F. L. Sleight, late of Pittsburg-,
Tex., will succeed him. There is the usual
-reticence on the part of the officials. Fri-
day, upon his departure, he left word that
should any one call during his absence to
tell them that he had gone on personal
business. He left this -word on other occa-
sions and came -back, and his most intimate
friends and his wife have no doubts about
'bis coming back. He is in a surety com-
pany, to whom -the railway officials have
referred the whole matter.

1IIE NEWS' GREAT SCOOP.
Gailveston Tribune: The Fort Worth
Gazette, hinting at The News' scoop in
publishing the full text of the railway
commission decision, says: "A managing
editor in St. Louis or Chicago who de-
voted ten columns to the text of a legal
decision would be promptly bottSed up and
forwarded by fast freight to the nearest
dime museum." The Gazette Is showing
its ears. It was a piece of enterprising
journalism, and should be so acknowl-
edged, It Is none of the Tribune's busi-
ness to -tell other papers how to act, and
it resolved at the outset of Its career to
'tend to its own affairs and let other
peopte do the same; but it so thoroughly
admires enterprise that it can not refrain
from putting in a word and promises to
quit with this. The Tribune is proud of
The News as a product of Galveston
brains, and if other morning papers in
Texas would talk less about what The
News does and do more themselves they
would get along a mighty sight better.
• » <
Beaumont Journal: The Galveston
News modestly refers to its great jour
nalistic feat of laying before the people
of Texas the full text of the supreme
court decision in the railroad commission
cases the day after Its delivery. There
were few people In the state—lawyers,
politicians, merchants and the intelli-
gent class generally—who did not feel
a lively Interest in the outcome of the
celebrated cause, the subject -matter of
which had been the leading Issue In two
state campaigns, and realizing this fact
The News, in completely meeting the de
sires of the public, felt a reasonable
pride In Its achievement. There are
other fairly good daily newspapers in
Texas, but those who want a paper that
prints the news every day in the year
can not supply their want unless they
are subscribers to The Galveston Daily
News.

Victoria Review: The Galveaton-Dal-
las News published the supreme court
decision of the Texas railroad commis-
sion in full on Sunday morning, being
the only Texas papers that could get
the important information, and handle
It by special wire. The publishers of The
Galveston-Dallas News are not much on
self-laudatory literature, but when it
comes to giving its readers all the Im-
portant news of -the country, The Gal-
veston-Dallas News people pass under
the wire ahead of all their wind-broken
competitors.

Bi't by a Mad Dog in April—Dies of Hydro-
phobia Two Months Later.
^ aco, Tex., June 4.—On the 3d day of
..ist April a litth* 8-year-old daughter of

nan^ county, heard a noise among the
chickens and ran to their relief. She found
the chickens being: worried by a little dog,
which b:t several of them, and continued
his a-ttacks until the little girl seized him,
and, in the struggle, got bit on the head
by the dog, wihich was much excited and
somewhat frothy at the mouth. After
biting the child the dog ran around the
village until someone shot and killed it.
'1 he wound in the little girl's scalp was
treated by physicians and healed. For a
few weeks her parents and friends felt
solicitous on her account, but gradually
grew easy as time passed, and last Satur-
day, vvnen the child came in from play
with flushed cheeks and complained of
pa:ns tne indisposition was not at lirst at-
tributed to the bite of the dog. About sun-
set she said -to her mother:
"Mamma, I am going home before grand-
ma."
The mother pressed her for an explana-
tion of the words and the little sufferer
added:
"I am going to die, mamma."
In the night she grew worse and before
the sun rose she was far advanced with
un attack of hydrophobia of pronounced
type. Convulsions succeeded each other
rapidly and before noon death came to the
relief uf the child, whose suffering from
•the beginning to the close had been heart-
rending.
So prety and lovable was the little girl
and so genera My popular there is gloom
throughout the town of Robinson.
