THE ARROGANCE OF RAILROADS.
In Success for May Samuel Merwin
ha* an arlleUj In which he shew* how
railroads look down tut the public. Ho
nays that the old fashioned
TEXAS DEPENDS UPON TEXANS.
The follow Ins from th« Port Worth
Record are our *enUm*nU:
We rerert with no little reluctance
to the recent vlalt of President Roose-
velt and some of the Incidents thereof.
The president wa* cordially received,
everywhere, hut It we* In Dallas that
some very slighting remarks were
made of southern United States sena-
tor* Wbat we now alluJe to la that
in the enthusiasm of the occasion it
was not uncommon to hear cRtzene
applaud the criticism of the senators,
among whom were the two Teaas
senators Senators are not at big as
presidents, of course, and a prophet
Is not without honor save In tits own
country. And there were men who
didn’t hesitate to condemn Senator
Culberson.
And In other portions of Texss criti-
cism of the senators was passed
around
Now. the very men who applauded
sneer* at Culberson are out in flam-
ing appeals to the cltlt.cn* for money
to obtain the Trinity river improve-
ment. They announce that Senator
Culverson It on the ground laboring
zealously for the success of the pro-
ject and his telegram* to the local
committee show that he 1* going his
best, or course. It Is ht« d«y to
do so.
But, mind you U Is not apparent,
after ail, that while Teiaa may ad-
mire and adore distinguished men
from other states, she must at la*t
dcpqnd upon her own son* for the
protection of her Interest* 7 Senator
Culle r»on and Senator Bailey have
never failed Texas at Washington
They have eagerly watched for op-
portunities to advance her weHare
The Interests of her clOsens have
been ably and faithfully championed,
and her influence In the federal gov-
ernment has been honorably and hon-
estly maintained.
It Is admitted by all who have en-
joyed the opportunity to know the
facts that the prestige of Texas in
the federal senate Is greater than It
has ever been before, a fact which
should awaken the keenest sprecta-
lion of the people who selected the
men to represent them In that great
body.
The Record Is not assuming to lec-
ture, but the eruptive enthusiasm inch
lent to the reception of a distin-
guished guest Involves no necessity
for decrying our own faithful cham-
pions.
Whatever of Importance is ever
achieved for Texas Is going to lie
achieved by Texans. To lose night
of that fact Is to underestimate our
cttlxenahlp as well as our statesman-
ship. And to scorn our own stock In
order to exalt some visitor who has
the glamour of power about him Is a
form of self-abasement which no
Texan who Is proud Of his state
should ever be guilty of.
In the Judgment of Tho Record the
senators from Texas rank with the
greatest statesmen of our generation
and exalt the* plendld citizenship
from which they ascended to useful-
ness and fame.
And The Record can say this much
without throwing a rock at anybody.
And now, after Mayor Davis, for
the sake of harmony, consented to the
withdrawal of his candidate for city
notion* j clerk, there Is another light on over
that the railroads are common car* j that office,
rlers subject to the law ami that they
are quasi public corporations which
must not he manipulated for purposes
of private greed do not seem over
popular at Philadelphia. The aca-
demic theory that, because we have
given the railroads unlimited fran-
chises, wide land grants, and the all
but imperial power of eminent do-
main, we have therefore some right
to ask what they are doing, and what
they propose to do next, is not wide-
ly held there, A newspaper man of
some prominence, personally known
to Mr. (.'asset!, once tried to Inter-
view him as he stepped from his car
In tho Pittsburg station. At once, he
said, Mr. Cassatt’s directors and off)
cers crowded around him in an im-
penetrable circle and escorted him
thus to his carriage.
On another occasion, later In the
fight, u strong newspaper which had
been mercilessly attacking the Penn-
sylvania became so enraged over
certain unexpected and peppery lan-
guage from Andrew Carnegie, whose
cause It had been supporting, that it
sent a man to offer its services to
Mr, Cassatt. It I* plain that his ad-
dllon to the ranks would have been
a reinforcement, indeed, In the los-
ing battle of the Pennsylvania, But
again the newspaper man encoun-
tered that chilling hauteur. He
dropped a hint to prominent Penn-
sylvania official* These caught the
force of the situation and set to work
almost desperately to bring about the
meeting. But the atmosphere about
Mr. Cassatt was Impenetrable, and
after watting three days, his heels
were cooled, the newspaper man re-
turned, his paper renewed Its fight,
and the Wabash was ultimately car-
ried Into Pittsburg on a wave of pop-
ular feeling which the newspapers
kept in motion until It best down
what appeared to be the l&at In-
trenchmenl of the Pennsylvania rail-
road In tho select council of the city.
The Pennsylvania then, like all
healthy railroads, was interested
mainly in gross receipts; because In
the profound words of an eminent
financier, ‘'without gross receipt* yon
can't have net receipts;” anti, ,tk«
another gentleman of picturesque
memory. It was not unwilling to let
"the public be damned” In the mean-
time The Wabash railroad. In Its
bold raid Into the enemy's country,
was also after gross receipts, and the
shippers of Pittsburg—even, It is to
be feared, some member* of the city
council and most of the politicians—
were dtrerctly, or indlectly. guided
by the same desire. But, although, ta
place of heroism and devotion and
self-sacrifice, we find audacity and
cunning and self-seeking, It was, nev-
ertheless, a brilliant fight. '
It wa* reported yesterday that City
Attorney Burges had declined to act

It is a good score In favor of the city

Conference of Education.
Columbia, B. C., April 26.—Thia
wa* another Interesting and busy day
for the educators in attendance on
the annual session of the conference
on education In the south. The fea-
ture of the forenoon session was an
address by Dr. A. C. True, a director
of the United States department of
agriculture, on the subject of the
teaching of agriculture th the public
schools of the south. This afternoon
Governor Hayward received the vis-
itor* at the state capitol.
For the evening session sn attrac-
tive program has been arranged.
Among Us features will be addresses
by ex-Mayor Seth Low of New York
city. Superintendent W. E. Hand of
Chester, 8. C.. and Superintendent J.
H. Phillips of Birmingham. Ala.
The superintendents of public In-
struction of the southern states held
the principal session of their annual
meeting this morning. Among thoee
taking p*rt were Superintendents
Hlneman of Aarkanaas, HfU of Flor-
ida. Martin of South Carolina. Mer-
rill of Georgia. Whitfield of Missis-
sippi, Cousins of Texas. Mysders of
Tennessee, Southall of Virginia and
Atwell of l/onlslana.
This has brought us to the third act.
and M. Cocueltn has been rising, by a
scries of gradation f, to a supreme
point of dramatic power. In the
fourth act, the pair are discovered In
tho house of a friend. Francolse has
defended her virtue with that scornful
Indifference to danger and that am-
bitious playing for high stakes That
Is one day to make her the consort to
a king. Scarron falls back overcome
with his emotion and the return of hts
malady, and the last scenes are occu-
pied with his death bed.
M, Coquelln has found atell worthy
of his practiced hand. The audience is
spellbound with the realism of his pre-
sentation. The depth and power of
his comprehension, not always seen tn
his latest roles. Is here triumphantly
In evidence. Mme. Jane Hading was

John Burroughs Discovers th# Odor
Of Spring.
John Burroughs writes in the Coun-
try Calendar for May:
'The first perfume of vernal bloom
drifting upon the breese, thrilling
your sente aa you walk the highway,
or cross the little Wtl by the foot-
path, usually appears In early May.
ft is faint and dclleate. but unmis-
takable—It is a token of bloom some-
where. One throws up his head and
sniffs it it and searches for It, as he
would bend his ear for some faint
far-off strain of music. Is It a brehtfl
of the myriad opening buds of field
and wood, or has the south wind
brought It from warmer climes? For
years I was much puxxled as to the
origin of this rare, elusive odor of
early May mornings. Now I am con-
vinced It comes from the blossoming
elms; I have traced It home. There
Beems to be only a brief period, prob-
ably onl yone or two morning*, when
the elm* emit this delicious odor. It
is the same wfttf the shgar maple
bloom. It to not every spring that
l catch Us perfume. It seem* heav-
ier than that of the elm and does
not drift, so far upon the breeze, but
It to equally brief and uncertain. In
both cases the atmospheric condi-
tions must be favorable; a warm,
moist southwest wind and a day that
woo* and caressq* all things.”
