NEWsrAPEitS and statesmen that op-
pose the commission amendment should
not attribute motives to those who favo
the amendment If this is to be made a
war of crimination and recrimination it
will be much easier to convince people
that tho motives If there be any suoh on
either side are to be found m those who
oppose tho commission amendment rather
than in those who favor the amendment
Go slow brethren
Political horse sense should
prompt railroad attorneys to be less con-
spicuous In their opposition to the
commission ameudment Surely they
are entitled to their opinions and no
man would deny them but it should be
plain to the dullest brain that when a
fight against commission regulation is led
and managed by men in the employ of
railroads it tends to inliame tho public
mind and embitter the contest

the person pointing the weapon may be
this is rather a radical remedy but after
a few men have been mado to pay for
their playfulness and their desire to scare
wife or friend brother or sister by a
term in prison there will be a noticeable
decrease in tho number of deaths from

REBUILD THE PALACE
The Spring Polaoa will do rebuilt It
ahbnld be rebuilt No better reason
need bo given than that it should Only
two years in existence it tfid more te
place the great state ot Texas before tho
nation in her true light than all other
agenciesbesides ItVasnot merely a
marvelonsly successful advertising
schema for the state at large That
feature if it was but a mere
acoident or concomitant of the
central and vnstly more important
Idea that it should stand forth in all its
beauty as an actual tangible visible
representation of Texas and all her
varied resources of mine field and fac-
tory It should typify Texasgreatness
In its multitudinous form That it did
so and for the first time in Its history
furnished the entire nation with a charm-
ing captivating picture of the Btate as
Bho actually is and fastened all eyes
Upon her has been demonstrated In-
n thousand different ways It was
not a thing of beauty merely
for tho imaginative Visitor to rave
over ns ho has frequently done
and to represent in various poetio forms
or for tho idonlistio or idle lookeron to
admire and talk about It was Texas in
miniature and as suoh had become
associated everywhere in the thoughts of
the people with the greatness and glory
of the state which it typified so well
That such association should bo kopt up
that the glory and benefits of it should
be perpotual goes without saying
Not only should the Palace be rebuilt
but it should be done in a more substan-
tial and permanent form than at first
Tho original idea towt that the Pal
ace should be constructed of Texas stone
marble and iron should be carried ou
and the new structure erected upon the
ashes of the old be made In reality not
only a handsomer but a more durable
and fitting emblem ot Texas than was the
old structure The materials ot it can be
gathered from the various counties
of the state excelling in natural pro-
ducts The pillars can bo got from
Llano Cherokee and iron producing
counties granite from Burnett and oth-
ers in which it abounds and soon It
is useless to think ot erecting another
wooden structure People could only be-
got to look at it through a telescope No
one we know does think of it It is
now tor the direotors and the enterpris-
ing people of Fort Worth to see to it tbat
a grander Palace than any they had hith-
erto thought of should replaoe the old
one and that it should be made of stone
and iron as originally contemplated
A SEVEZ COUNTY COMBINE
Hon Georgo Clark with the only other
patriots and pure Democrats met in Dal-
las Saturday and from the meeting was
evolved that purer formation for
which the GD News has so long pined
The Dallas convention was small but
U was reoherche not much more than a
bakers dozen of gentlemen answering to
the call to the unconverted
The signers to the call onJudge Cook
outside ot a tow Dallas men unknown
outside of the Three Forks were
George Clark railroad attorney
Bryan Barry exrallroad attorney
O T Holt railroad attorney
Beth Shepard railroad attorney
M C Harris monopolist
And ono or two others
The call upon Judge Cook virtually
reads out of the Democratio party all
men who do not deny the richt ot regu-
lation through a commission The sign-
ers to tho call representing seven out ot
210 counties In Texas virtually declare
themselves to be the only hope of the
country and they appointed an execu-
tive committee in each distrlot pre-
sumably in place of the executive com-
mittees now looking after Democratio
Interests In the political vineyard Bryan-
T Barry was eleoted chairman
and general manager of the cam
paign As Mr Barry ever since
his defeat for tho comination for
lieutenantgovernor has been convinced
that tho party has departed from the
faith of his fathers be will no doubt
give all his time to tho defeat of the
commission amendment and of any man
for governor who is honestly in tnvor
of the amendment From his remarks
as printed In the News the newohnir
man of the new party of political saints
will deyelop into a Bogardus kiokf r and
call all commission advocates bad names
politically He says that men though
they insist on being Democrats must
be kicked out of which farmers
and laboring men will take due heed
The entire strength ot this new
party in Texas judging from the in-
temperate speech of Its chairman will
not gather votes enough to eleot a justice
ot the peace muoh less to tie up a Demo
cratio state coiuention
There were Borne peculiar circum-
stances attending thnt Dallas seven
county etnte convention towit The
secret circular calling Halls friends to
meet at Dallas at the same time and
placa as the antlcommissionlsts and the
accidental presence of Col Bonner The
meeting Itself was peculiar it encour-
aged Mr Hall o professed commission
lit to stay in the race and yet nomi-
nated Cook It smiled on Col Bon
ner but decided that it would not
do to nominate a railroad re-
ceiver who was in favor ot a
railroad commission as this tvould be
called rushing the growler

ingredient a regular Mexican min ce pie

located his commission headquarters at
Dallas and the Cook apostles located
their anticommission headquarters at
tho same place presumably in separate
rooms
It Is very unfortunato for a dispasslon
ate canvass tbat so many leaders of the
opposition to the commission amendment
are prominent railroad attorneys and it
the publio mind does not become inflamed
at the aggressive attitude of these rail-
road employes it will be due more to tho
forboarance and patriotism ot the people
than to the discretion of men so closely
allied with the Interest they declare to be
above regulation through commission

Unynas Heroism
Austin Statesman
The heroism of the Englishman Hayne
who lost his lite In the Spring Palace
fire challenges the most profound ad-
miration He appears to have acted
purely from motives of philanthropy
and none but the noblest highest In-
centives could have prompted him to
throw himself Into the very Jaws of the
fiery demon whose red tongue had
reached a most in a second to the roof
ot tho building It must have been with
a consciousness that he was himself facing
a horrid death that be coolly and with
astonishing courage helped to save help-
less women and children
Rebuild the Palace
ban Antonio Express
The destruction of the Spring Palace
is a serious blow to Fort Worth but one
from which it will recover in a sur-
prisingly short spaco ot time It is
a characteristic ot the people ot that
lively little city that they are never
discouragedaud that ill luokonly nerves
them to greater exertions From Us
knowledge ot their gamenessand the way
in whioh they pull together tho Express
has no hesitancy in predioting that a-
new nud fairer Palace will arise upon the
ruins of the old
Fort Worth did not deserve Its ill luck
Unfortunately it is not every person or
town that gets deserts In this world
Why Cain Killed Abel
The editor ot the Walla Walla Journal
has triond farming and pours out his
over full soul on that subject in these
words and phrases
The basest fraud on earth is agricul-
ture Tho deadliest ignis fatuus that
ever glittered to beguile and dazzle to
betray is agrioulture Wo speak with
feeling on this subject and weve been
glittered and beguiled and dazzled and
deceived by tho same arch deceiver She
had promised us bees and they Hew away
after putting a head on us promised us
early potatoes and the drouth has
withered them She has promised cher-
ries the curcullo has stung them they
contain living things uncomely to the eye
and unsavory to the taste She has
promised us Btrawbernes and the young
chickens have devoured them We were
in the sheep business and a hard winter
closed down on us and the lambs died in
the shell No wonder that Cam killed
bis brother He was a tiller of the
ground The wonder is be did not kill
his father and then weep because he d d
not haye a grandfather to kill
Xo Right to Ask
New York Dramatic Mirror
We believe that those actresses who
yielding to the importunities of the
newspaper syndloate enterprise consent
to dlsouss the private relations ot tho peo-
ple of the stage forget their duty and the
dignity ot their calling Ths object of the
syndicate in seeking suoh statements is
merely to gratify an impertinent publio
curiosity
Articles from burlesque comic opera
and soolety star notorieties on the
virtue of actresses or the temptations of
the stage are to bo expeoted sinoe suoh
women seize eyeryopportunity for seour
ing a free advertisement but there is no
good reason why reputable members of
the profession should appear beside them
in print discussing questions that are
not the business of ths press or of the
reading publio
The recent remarks of Madame Mod
jeska when approached by a syndicate
reporter with a Beries ot interrogations
respecting the moral atmosphere of the
stage should bo read and pondered
With the virtue of notors and actress-
es she said the publio has nothing
whatever to do It is only with what
they do on tho Btage tbat we should con-
cern ourselves Their private lives
should be private Where we should
look for a good example from them Is on
the stage A pure conception of the
part is what should be demanded We
have no right to ask whether the actor
or actress is virtuous
The Spring Palace Calamity
Anstin Statesman
The people of all Texas join In one uni-
versal expression of sympathy with Fort
Worth in the loss ot fier idol her Spring
Palace building Tho people of tha4
city in embarking in suoli an enterprise
bad shown a confidence In the future ot
Fort Worth and of Texas that merited
the utmost limit of success The Palace
was an artistic gem Of unique design
it was an epitome of Texas products It
was one of the best advertisements Texas
ever bad and its value to the state can-
not easily be estimated As a state we
are under obligations to the pluck and
energy of the people ot Fort Worth
A miraculous a providential interven-
tion prevented a Joss of life such as
might havebeen expeoted from the char-
acter ot the building and its ornamenta-
tion That so few persons were maimed
or killed is truly inexplicable and one
lesson has been taught should Fort
Worth decide undaunted by this catas-
trophe to open another Palace in the
future that is that the building should
have only one story and be honey-
combed with exits The pecuniary loss
by this fire was prodicous over and
above nny insurance and it is certainly
to be hoped such returns at the gate dur-
ing this season were reaped as to cut the
net loss to a sm ll figure The men who
shouldered the responsibility of the suc-
cess of ths Palace In this time of their
embarrassment have the solioitous sym-
pathy ot the entire state
The Lots ot Texas
Waco Day
On every hand are heard expressions
of regret at the destruction ot the Spring
Palace It was the pnde of Texas and
its destruction Is the loss of Texas
Within Its walls wore gathered the most
wonderful exposition of the history the
traditions the resources ths wealth tho
culture or Texas that the Imagination
can handle It was Texas from the
ground floor to the dome It had won
and justly a place in the affections of
Texans and was always alluded to with
pride and admiration Probably 100
000 Texans men women and children
bad looked at its grand proportions and
walked through its halts and towers gaz-
ing admiringly at the wonderful exhibits
and the ingenuity that was supreme on
every hand And the Palace was known
throughout the United States Repre-
sentative men and women from nearly
every state had visited It admired it and
gone home with n revelation a revela-
tion of the resources capabilities nnd
advantages of Texas There are today
millions ot dollars Invested In Texas that
would not be here had the Palace never
been reared in Fort Worth It was of
and for Texas and all the state came
within Its benificent Influence Finally
it was an illustration of the pluok nnd
patriotism of a sister city Fort Worth
and from that standpoint aloue it de-
served admiration It was a grand con-
ception and no wonder the Fort Worth
people felt proud of it It is a state loss
nnd whether the Palace is ever rebuilt or
not there is not ono of the thousands
who saw it can forget it It will be a
memory we shall nil be glad to cherish

Wo hope that Fort Worth will sustain on
that day her proud record for patriotism
and liberality
Let every Confederate in Fort Worth
subscribe for at least one share ot said
stock touay and thus demon-
strate that we need bavo no fears when
we are compelled to pass over the
river The stook was made at 10 a
Bhare in order that each one might at
least be able to take one share of the
same
We should feel a just pride in tho mat-
ter for while the great leaders of the
North in that bloody and unhappy strug-
gle have a rich and powerful govern-
ment to take care ot and provide for
their loved ones when they are called
henco our leaders must leave theirs to
the care and keeping of their comrades
We feel tbat as long as virtue is re-
spected and selfsacrificing devotion to
prinolple is loved and admired by a peo-
ple our loved ones are in safe hands
For no bond is more enduring than that
of love
The subscription papers will be lert
