POLITICS AND THE COLOR LIKE
IS RAILROAD SERVICE.
A railroad commission in Texas, as is
Usual in like case, in Missouri and o'her
mates, would probably hare intervened in
the recent trouble between the Houston
>ad Texas Central and the company's era-
ployes. The railroad company resisted a
discrimination on the color line which labor
insisted upon. They demand in
negroes should not be em-
ployed by the company. A democratic
railroad commission would presumably in'
cline to the side of the white labor leader.'.
The democratic state convention at San
Antonio declared for railroad passenger
service on the color line, and why not, it
might be asked, protect white laborers,
mechanics and traiumoo, as well as wuite
passengors, from contact or companion-
ship with negro employes? This would lie
on the supposition that white laborers are
entitled to as much consideration as white
passengers. Then it might be further in-
sisted that a commission of any other form
of intermeddling with tfce service or busi-
ness of railroads or telegraphs on the part
of government, must always have "the good
of the party" in view. B'rom this point of
view it Is no matter to the party machine if
*he passenger service proposed would in-
crease the expense 10 or 40 per cent to the
railroad companies and their patrons, nor
should the party feel bound to consider the
increased cost of maintaining the freight
service to result from tho elision of negro
labor from competition of white labor. The
main o'jject would be attained, the creation
of uew oflices costing the taxpayers in-
creased assessments aud the patrons of rail-
roads additional charges to meet increased
expenses imposed. But tho colored man
should not object. Hs pays no taxes to
speak of, and his business interests, if he
confines h s operations strictly as desired to
agricultural industries, will doubtless be
protected by his national party.
If the legislature wants to enact a law to
make travel safer oVer tho railroads let a stat-
ute be framed with a death penalty for tho to-

GREAT CORPORATIONS AND SYN-
DICATES IN MANUFACTURES.
To tho extent that the great syndicates
and consolidated companies recently formed
are able to economize in the processes of
production and to secure better terms than
their predecessors, the firms and smaller
companies, in the distribution of their prod
ucts by the railways, the organization of
these syndicates bears within itself some
promiso of future good. The newspapers
generally look only at the motne and im-
mediate effect on tho side of a larger profit,
for the syndicates. If the latter cheapen
production still they do not give
the cus omcr the advantage, but, as
the tariff enables, take it for them-
selves. It is made a subject of complaint
that between fifty and sixty leading lines of
production, chietly manufacturing, are now
controlled by combinations, which make it
tbeir policy to restrict production so as to
maintain determinate and extortionate
prices. Some of these combinations haye
avoided the anti-trust laws very simply by
becoming in a given line one company with
oflices and works in different places. It
would not be surprising therefore if under
the prevailing ideas of directly combating
syndicate or company organizations there
should be a political movement to limit tho
companies' production to one state for each
of them, a plan which would not inter-
fere with interstate distribution, but
this conrse might have the effect of causing
many works to be*discontinued. Each of
the combinations, or immense companies
with a national scope of business, could
even concentrate its productive works in
one state, or this might be true of some of
them. These operations will powerfully
impress tho public with the need of per-
mitting foreign competition as a means of
regulating prices. The very high tariff is
what supports the evil feature of the com-
bination of American capital in its prac-
tical effects. Without discussing protec-
tion as a principle, it ma7 be stated as an
unquestionable proposition that if the
people are to be protected any honest, pa-
triotic protectionist party would be from
now ou chiefly solicitous to scale the
tariff down so as to enable the protected in-
dustrialists to exact only such prices as to
secure them the home market and no undue
profit—none very far above the average of
other American enterprises. But what
must be the effect of these large profits
alluded to? The News is of the opinion
that the public may confidently look be-
yond the present combinations—beyond the
evil ot their taking to themselves all the
benefit of cheaper production by concentra-
tion and improvement of appliances.
Foreign capital and new American capital
will begin to prepare new competitions.
New works will be started, even if but for
the purpose of compelling the consolidated
enterprises to take them in, as was the case
some years ago with tne telegraphs, while
the alternative appearod jbat if not taken
n thev could share in a profitable
business. Then there must come a time
when it will better pay the companies to
keep out rivaisby selling goods at a cheaper
rate than to be thus besieged by new com-
petitors. The economies in production will
remain, and a potential competition will be
felt if not the actual. It is perhaps early to
speculate upon a more intelligent solution
of all this difficulty, which might bo found
In consumers' organizations for the purpose
of wielding simply the power of concerted
custom; what for want of a more agreeable
word may he termed business patronago.
When tho consumers turn their thoughts in
this direction, especially in connection with
promoting manufacturing enterprises, it
would sepm to be nothing but wisdom for
them tostudy how the objects of their solici-
tude may be made equitable fallow-servants
in mutual benefit by some fair agreement
as to a maximum of future profits. Where
manufacturing enterprises are promoted
there is certainly the benefit of employment
ot so many workers, and in th'e prcsont con-
ditions no local community dare ask any
pecific concession as to prices or maximum
profits. It will evidently be some time
before *.he wider commuuity of interest in
fair prices will move consumers in large
bodies to a broad policy of promoting new
or favoring some of the already establuhed
factories, the management of which may
see their interest in coming to a decent bar-
gain with their consumers on the sols con"
sideratlon of a steady support. But there
is the principle. Concerted custom is a con-
sideration which might be made available
to an extent proportionate with the intelli-
gence of the people aud their understand-
ing of the principle.

A TEXAS JUSTICE.
How a Val Verile County Squire Settled n
Matrimonial Problem.
Internal Revenue Collector Thad C. Bell
tells a number of good stories about Hoy
Bean, who is a prominont clti/.an. justice of
the peace and proprietor of the principal
refreshment palace at Langtry, Val Verde
county, Tex. The aforesaid Mr. Bean is
one of the most characteristic and well
kno<vn citizens that the wild and walloping
west can furnish—generous and hospitable,
Independent aud democratic and withal a
man who would fight, a buzz saw at the
drop of the bat. He owns a bear and a
badger, game cocks and race horses, which
be uses for tne divertmeut of himself and
friends. An instance of his democracy is
shown by hit refusal to add a pampered
hartender to the population of his village.
When a man wants a drink at Roy's hn goen
behind the bar, selects a t:lass, washes it
and pours out bis own drink and deposits
the consideration in the till. In his official
capacity of justice of the peace Mr. Bean
dispenses with hair splitting and nice quib-
bles of law and his treatment of questions
brought before him aru models of original-
ity.
On one occasion two -Mexican residents
became enamored of each other's wives and
some very bad blood was in consequence
engendered between them, but instead of
cutting each other's throat at onco they
went, armed to the teeth, and laid the case
before his honor, the justice. That officer
tipped back his-chair and heard the evi-
dence.
'You say," said he to No. 1, "that you
like this man's wife better than your own?"
"Si senor."
"And," to No. 2, "you say that you pre-
fer this man's wife to vour own?"
To which an affirmative reply was also
returned.
Well," said his honor, relaxing from
his easy going nnd contemplative position,
and squaring himself into a business like
attitude, "I'll settlo the case by divorcing
you and remarrying you f.o the nomm of
your choice," and in five minutes two
knots were untied and two more were made
again, and the happy couples went on their
way rejoicing. When the justice sent his
papers to the district judge at Kl Paso that
officer, after considering tbe reason that
bloodshed would have followed hud not
this extraordinary procedure been resorted
to, approved them, but sent a request that

What the Papers Throughout
Talking About.
The Greenville Headlight says
The passage of the river and harbor bill
will do rauoh for Texas, for the attention of
the people of the southwest has been called
for tho past two year to tbe need of deep
water on fie Texas coast and to the great
benefits to be derived from a deep witter
harbor. Tbe bill carries an appropriation
which will insure a port at Galveston, and
all Texas will experience the benefits to be
derived from tucb a port. Texas lands will
be more in demand and will command bet-
ter prices just as soon as the port is an
accomplished fact. Already there are de-
mands from other states for large tracts of
laud for colonization purposes. We may
expect, capita! to seek investment iu every
portion oi the state if the policy of the state
government be shaped and directed by
statesmen instead of demagogues. The
policy of the state will go far to aid in so-
curing capital and immigration. Texas as
a field for industrial enterprises is practi-
cally unknown iu tbe money ccnters of the
nation, and the attention attracted by the
appropriation for a deep water port should
be held by the advantages and opportunities
for great industrial developments iu every
portion of the state.
The Segnin Enterprise says:
Guadalupe county raises lino horses, fine
mules, fine cattle, aud nothing but the
finest grade of sheep. Mr. W. I). Parish
sold a pair of bis celebrated Cheviot sheep
this week toagentlemau in Fayette county
for $00. Mr. Parish bas been in the sheep
business more or less for many yerrs, aud
he says that if a farmer is so situated thut
he can take care of forty or fifty head of
these sheep that it will pay better tbau any
huud'ed-acre farm in the county.
The Jackson county Progress says:
Iu the uiiunimous vote of the congression-
al convention recently belif ut Boovilie by
tho dumoctacy of the Seventh congressional
district, indorsing anil renominating \Y. H.
Crain to succeed liimself iu tho next con-
gress, the convention did itself credit, which
the entire democracy of tlio district highly
appreciate. Mr. Grain is not only a gifted
orator but a faithful worker, as is
evidenced by his indefatigable ef-
fons in behalf of tho bav-
boi-s of Texas, aud not losing sight of the
other Dorts and harbors of our gulf coast,
uuiably iu his efforts at obtaining appros
priatioos sufficient to insure deep water at
Galveston. . his alone should couviuce the
people of this district that he is tbe proper
mnti, having been tested ntid found true to
tho interests of his district as well as the
whole 3tate. Tho nominee, William Henry
Crain, is oue of whom wo ail foul proud and
glad to honor, und ho will without doubt ut
the next, election bo returned again to cou-
grcss by an overwhelming majo.ity.
The Willis Index says;
Willis has received upwards of 1400 bales
of cottou this season and the crop is not
nearly half gathered. Cotton is turninir
out well and is making a biggercrop than
many expected six weeks ago. Business
matters are livening ud considerably. Our
merchants are ail doing a thriving busi-
ness.
Rainy and Montgomery, the new charlot-
icrs of the Yoakum Sun, take the Hues gent-
ly, not likothe young Phaetons, determined

says:
One day last week a man entored a store
in the city and asked the loan of t'£>, giving
as his security a bale of cotton, which he
promised to deliver the next day. Ti'.ne
rolled ou and neither the man nor cotton
made an appearance. Tbe gentleman who
borrowed tbe money is now ia durance vile
on tbe charge of obtaining money uuder
false pretenses.
The Floreivllls Chronicle says:
The republicans will make a determined
effort ;o beat Congressman Crain in the
Seventu district, next month. They claim
that the district favors protection, especially
to the wool interest, while Crain is a free
trader. Spohn appears determined to run,
notwithstanding bis ineligibility. Craiu is
one of the best representatives Te^as has at
the national capital and be will go back for
another term.
Tbe Yoakum Graphic says:
Hon. William Henry Cruin, our congress-
man, arrived home from Washington this
week. We feel that we voice the intelligent
sent'ment of the district wlten we say,
"Well done."....Nothing will so help our
merchants a's good substantial dirt roads
leading through the country tributary to
Yoakum.
The San Antonio Whito Republican bas
been in existence seven weeks, but the fi-st
number to reach The News came yester-
day. James P. Newcomb is editor aud pub-
lisher, and as a matter of co" se it is a
plain, blunt paper, and speaka r.ght on in
what It cays:
It so happens that in Texas the white re-
publican secures a measure of freedom and
protection for the colored man unknown in
other southern states, and we get paid back
in insolence and negro bravado. Take
away tbe while republicans and a negro
would have as little show as be has in Mis-
sissippi or Louisiana, where ho lias tbe
majority, but is uuable to assert or take
care of his rights as a citizen. We hope
that every white republican who will asso-
ciate longer with the Cuneys aud Nelsons
of the party will be treated as they deserve,
as tbe Indians in the territory treat the
squaw men.
The Pilot ssys:
Bryan has more local attractions than

among its recent attractions the Grand

connection we would say that our city cer-
tainly feels under obligations to Messrs. H.
Rypinski and Jake Schwarz for the energy
anil public spirit which they have exhibit-
ed in tho enterprise which has given to her
citizens an opera bouse in completeness of
finish and comfort second to aono in the
state.

MATTERS ABOUT MINING.
INCREASED ACTIVITY IN MINING
THROUGHOUT THE WEST.
Remarkable Outputs in Colorado, New
Mexico and Utah—The Feather Kiver
Undertaking Nearlng Completion—
The Flume Completed.
Denver, Col., Oct. 1L—[Special]— Mining
properties in the Tin Cap district contiuue
to show up well. New strikes, which go
to show tbe permanency of tbe camp, are
reported almost daily. A fine body of ore
is now in sight in the Wolverine, tbe vein
being now in place with tbe formation dip-
ping to the east. Tho ore lies between dol-
omite and a silicious caicita lime. This
property, like the Hidden Treasure, is a
very valuable one. At th» Hidden Treasure
Cook & Clark are drifting on the contract
which contains mineralized matter, and de-
velopment is expected to open a good body
of mineral. Jack Ashcraft of Tin Cup
has opened up a fissure vein in the
granite on Anna mountain. Tiiey are as-
saying eighteen ounces in gold, the lowest
ruu in silver being forty-nix and a half
ounces. This property, which is known as
the Homestake, lies near the famous Anna
mine. It is expected to rival that lode in
productiveness. It Is but oue of tbe many
rich strikes that hare been made in Tin
Cup this season. One of the richest strikes
for a uew mine since the discovery of the
White Crow Iior beeu made in the Sun-
shine mine at Salina, Boulder county. bvK.
A. Spinney, A. H. Nicholson and R. B. Fer-
guson, lessees of the property. In driving
the tunnel on tbe trend of the vein
largo body of ore carry-
ing free gold and telluriums two
ai.il a half feet in depth has been opened
out. Tho ore shows iu the tunnel for over
seventy feet in length and in the main shaft,
some 500 feet from the breast of the tunuei
up the mountain side. Four tons of the ore
were shipped as it came out of the mlno
aud netted over $100 per ton. A carload was
sent to Denver last week. The great width
of tbe pay streak, and being so easily mined
ill make the Sunshine mine one of the
largest shippers of smelting ore iu Boulder
county. >
Helena.
Helena, Mont., Ocf. 13.—[SpecialJ—Ore
shipments were resumed at the Frio, Beavs
er district, on tbe 1st ot the month, and ore
running $1000 a car. or 35 per ton, is being
sent oat daily. Recently a chamber was
encountered that returned a little over
$1500 per car, but the average is reckoned at
$5 per ton. The pay chute in the Agua Frio
bas been proveu 1800 feet iu length, and at,
a conservative estimate there is {100,000
worth of ore in sight.
Charles Clark of St. Louis, who recently
secured an interest In the property,
visited tbe mine not long since
in company with General John S. Harris
and expressed himself hs highly pleased
with the showing. A close corporation will
be formed shortly to handle the property.
Recent, developments ou the Cleveland and
Anchor, in Missoula county, are said to
have proven it a phenomenal proDe.-ty, and
that it will one day become a rival of the
Grauite mountain. That time, however,
must be delayed for a period, as the prop-
erty is in the heart of a very rough country
and at present can only be reached by a
mountain trail, which leads from Mount
Idaho, situated at the foot of the Bitter
Root range, to the m i ne, a distance of nearly
if not quite 130 miles.
Fuel has been added to the blaze of ex-
citement attending the discovery of gold at
Moscow, Idaho, by tho liudlns; ou one of
tbeclaimsof two pieces of gold iloatcoutaln-
ing twenty-four nuggels of gold as litrge as
peas. Tho float may have come from a
great distance, but diligent searcn is being
made for tbe ledge.
Silver City.
Silver City, N. M,—[Special]—Injunc-
tions have been issued restraining the
owners of both the Texas, Pacific and
Pacific No. 3 mines at Pinos Altos from
working below the junction of the second
vein. The question of the ownership of the
vein below the junction was decided here at
the last term of court in favor of Skillikorn
& Snyder, the owner, of the Pacific No. 3,
bnt the case was appealed to the supreme
court of the territory, and these injunctions
have been issued to prevent auy work
bsing done in the disputed ground
until the case is finally disposed
of. The Richmond Mining company is
sinking the shaft on the Mamie Richmond
mine, near Hillsboro, from the 400 foot
level, and a mill which, when completed,
will be tho largost gold mill in Sierra
county, is being built for the company.
The Mamie Richmond mine is considered
one of the best mines near Hillsboro, and
bas been operated successfully when tho
ore bad to be hauled some distance to mill.
The camps in the northern part of Sierra
countv. notably Hermosa, are doing well
and will show tt largely increased output
for this year. The Aztec company is pro-
ducing about $300 per day in bullion and
concentrates with ten stamps running. The
superintendent expects to put up five more
stamps in a few days.
Aspen.
Aspen, Col., Oct. 13.—The most import-
ant strike in this vicinity recently was that
of J. C. Johnson on Smuggler mountain
this week, in driviug the incline. It was
necessary to make a station for the sixth
level. In cutting this, twelve feet, ore,
some of it running HliO ounces, was dis-
closed and bv further developments,
it has been ascertained that this
runs almost the entire length of
the incline, gome 700 feet-. The
incline had been run in the foot wall of tbe
vein, which was supposed to be barren for
the distance named, but it now transpires
that the ore is above the incline nearly the
whole way. This incline only lacks 200
feet of joining the great tunnel of the
Cowen-Haven Tunnel and Deep Drainage
company, and they are being beaded to-
wards each other as fast as the work can be
dono with st am drills. The accomplishment
oflthls work means a much larger output
for tbe Johnson. This also insures the
transportation of the ores from tbe proper-
ties at comparatively small expense, as
they will no longer have to be raised to the
top of Smuggler mountain through shafts
and sent in wagons to the railroads below
by the old zigzag route. The mouth of the
Comen Hawen tunnel is near both rail-
roads.
El Paso.
El Paso, Tex.. Oct. 11.—Only about twen-
ty carloads of ore have been received here
from Mexico dnring the past week, and as a
result the mines in the states of Arizona
snd New Mexico that ship to El Paso have
put on renewed activity and are making
every effort to supply tho demand. But the
new order of things of course increases the
expenses of the smelters, as they have to
buy theit fluxing ore in Mexico and pay a
heavy dnty, which should naturally in-
crease the cost of smelting or cause a re-
duction in tbe cost of labor. Both the Kl
Paso and International smolters here, how-
ever, are r-inning on full time, and say they
will not reduce wages.
San Francisco.
San Francisco. Cal.. Oct. 11.—[Special]—
The most extensive and costly mining en-
terprise undertaken in this state for ten
years is now nearing completion a few miles
above Orrville, in Bnttrell county. It is the
work of the Golden Gate company, which
will lift the Feather river from ita bed
and carry the whole volume ot the
stream in an enormous flume for
nearly a iniie. Work bas beea going oa
constantly with forces of men ranging from
100 to 300 for Hitfhteen months. The flume
which lifts the river fifty feet above its level
has been completed, but a hugu dam will
j have to be built at rosstno river. The main
work of exposing tbe bed for a mile will
have to be deferred until next year. The
Feather river is the richest gold
bearing stream in California, and it is
estimated that the gravel iu the
river bed "ill yield over $500 per
linear foot. This was tbe amount realized
by a couiDanv which worked a small section
of tho river bed in Orville, although tbey
lost much gold through poor appliances.
With the perfect machinery that lias been
pot in experts claim that the mine should
yield nearly *S,000.000 for the $1,330,000 tbey
have spent. Unless early ruins interfere a
few days will show how rich the upper parts
of tho river is.
Lend vllle,
Leadville, Colo., October 1L—[Special.]
—The output of the Leadville mines for the
month of September amounted to 1803 tons
daily, the largest output ever recorded In
the history of tbe camp. It is an increase
of forty-five tons daily over tbe
month of August. Quito a num-
ber of the mines Increased their
shipment, during September, namely, the
Moie, Dunkiu, White Cap, Morning and
Evening Star and the Elk. The smelters
created 13,300 tons of ore. producing 1180
tons of bullion. Tho gr»at Important strike
of tbe week was made iu the Indiana and
consists of the uncovering of A big bodv of
snlphideore, which runs very high in silver.
The chute of ore caught is supposed to bo
an extension of either tfce Mikado of Gou-
ubrod ore chutes. In cither case the now
strike is considered a bonanza.
l)u rati^o.
Di'p.anoo, Colo., Oct. 11.—[Speclull—In
running n draft to explore a piece of ground
to the southeast of the lower shaft along
the'ine of contact in the Enterprise mine,
a 24-inch vain of high grade ore was opened
the fore nart of the week. The ore body in
the contact so far opened np has proved to
be continuous, and as it breaks to the south
it appears to increase in quantity and
value.
Foreman Nelson estimates the amount of
ore iu the small piece of ground to be
worth at least $125,000.
Salt Lake.
Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 11.— [Special]—
Reports from Tintic show a continuation
of tbe activity in mining matters which has
characterized that district for soma time
past. Tho Centennial Eureka shipped 405
tons of or» last moutb, assaying nn average
of $135 silver, $20 gold and 10 per cent lead
per ton. A number of improvements will
be inaugurated in this proiie'ty during tho
winter, including an incandescent electric
light plont and a double compartment mau
shaft, with a double drum engine ou tho
hoisting works.
CURRENT COMMENT.
The value of last year's cotton crop was
$400,000,000. Two-thirds of it was gold to
foreigners. Tbe farmers who make this
magnificont contribution to tho w alth of
the country and to the comfort of thoWorld
are made to pay a tax ou the bagging and
the ties with which their cotton bales are
put into marketable condition. This is, iu
effect, a lax ou exportation, which is for-
bidden by the constitution. In the wholo
list of protective taxes there Is none otl.er
more oppressive, unnecessary and outrage-
ous. If it be forbidden to muzzle the ox
that trendeth out the corn, how will the
taxers justify themselves who muzzle tbe
farmer who clothes the nation with his
great staple? [Philadelphia Record.
Jay Gould is one the most cheerful of the
philosophers who bave yet given their
opiuion upon tho effect of the now tariff.
Of course, he says. It has upset the country,
so that "people now hardly kuow whether
tuey are afoot or horseback;" but the count
try will soon accommodate itself to th<
change, and he does not think any groa!
harm will result. "If it increases tho coj
of some articles, people will simply use lei
of them." If the tariff on wool, for ef
ample, makes clothing cost more, "a pers«
will get along with one suiv. where he wool
otherwise have .wo." Nothing could o
simpler. Mr. Gould himself can probaly
still afford to buy two suits, but those»t
us who are not millionaires havo merelyto
adapt our purchases to the now scaliof
prices and a'.t will be well. If we haveto
do with less than we sro accustomod to/.v°
must reflect that wo are promoting a ijsut
national policy. [Philadelphia Times.
In the opening speoch of his campaig for
re-election William McKinley said: pro-
tection is for all or none. As Burke sid of
liberty, it must apply to all or none.' On
tbe contrary, the dullest man must peceive
that if protection were for all it woul have
no value. If every man made as much Ot of it
as every other man there would be no'eason
why it should not be abolished, for to one
interest more than another wouif exert
itself to retain the system. It is b<*>uso it
does give somebody an opportunitr to rob
everybody that wj see somebody a Wash-
ington so regularly asking for icreased
privileges of robbery. The comprison of
monopoly tariffs with liberty hasio reins
vancy. Protection's vital princifl is to
take from the peoplo their natunl liberty
to buy and sell as they please, and as their
best interests dictate, and to conpel tham
to buy aud sell as politicians, fat ryers and
monopolists shall dictate. [Chiaa.o Herald.
If all our current production aid part of
our accumulations of silver ar- absorbed
yearly by tho treasury, we shal evidently
have to buy abroad year by yeatan increas-
ing proportion of the silver in use in the
arts. Our mines may indeed to stimulated
by the present enhanced price^to increased
p-oductiveue3s, but making p'oper allow-
ance for such increase, it is still quite possi-
ble that the steady buying >f the United
States will bave ultimately avery consider-
able effect This being the ctse, a reaotion
o£ silver un to $1 21 per ouice, or beyond,
ought not to be pronounced impracticable.
There are in this country, il Is stated, sev-
eral pools in silver. By holiing what they
have and buying more, irterested parties
are disposed to think they tan provoke the
desired reaction. The fearof importations
is the one paralyzing elemint. If congress
had only pnt aturiff.tax 01 imported silver
our miue-owners and speculators could run
it up to almost any figure they liked! It is
for our silver men to say whether the Mo
Kiniey bill in neglecting silver is tbe por-
feet measnre its friends say it is. [Balti-
