Λ mêthoJ to° frequently neglect·
ed whereby t«.'"Perance may be en
cou raged is the regulation of tbe
habits of employes in reference to
liquor drinking. If the dnu'k habit
is bad it must have bad effects 3"d
these must serve to make the work-
man less capable and trustworthy.
A suggestion of the method may be
gathered from the fact that the
French Governor Director of Rail-
roads has written to the different
societies opposing the use of alcohol
and all the Government roads have
agreed to the following: First to
discharge all employee who persist
in using spirits and wine while on
duty; second all persons who con-
tinue to drink shall be dropped from
the pension rolls of the company
and will not participate in the en-
dowment fund in case of accident.

Cel. Wynne*· Letter.
Ool. R. M. "Wynne in a letter ad-
dressed to the citizens of Tarrant
county on the subject of electing a
Railroad Commissioner said:
Port Worth Tex. Feb. 24 1902.
To the People of Tarrant County:
You are aware of the fact that you
will be called upon this year at your
primary convention to select a Hail-
road Commissioner in the place of
the Ο ran J Old Man John H.
Reagan who by reason of
his great age will retire from
said position. I need not tell you
that this position is of more vital
importance to the people of this
State than any office in the gift of
the people not excepting the Gov-
ernor's. And ap a friend of the
plain people one of whom vou
know I am and as a citizen of Tar-
rant county I appeal to you to
weigh well the claims and qualifi-
cations of the man you choose. I
know but little of the qualifications
of any other candidate for the po-
sition but I do know the eminent
qualifications of Hon. Ο. H. Col-
quitt of Kaufman countv who is a
candidate. I know that he is one of j
the best qualified men in Texas for
same and I cordially commend him !
to you as a man worthy of your trust
and one particularly well qualified.
He is honest and a painstaking
hard worker and is in full sympa-
thy with the people in the creation ι
of a Railroad Commission and in all
of the great reforms which have j
been inaugurated in the State iti the
last ten years. If elected he will do ;
much to make the Railroad Com- ;
mission all that the best interests of ;
the people demand that it should be.
I trust that upon this all important
matter the people will exercise their
usual patriotism and good judgment
and watch and defeat any effort of
political manipulators and bosses to
defeat their will. I trust that every
Democrat will attend the primaries
and express their preference and in-
struct their delegates to the conven-
tion.
I disclaim any personal or parti-
san preference for Mr. Colquitt on
; any personal grounds for truly he
! opposed me when I ran for Oovern-
I or. Rut I trust that I am sufficient-
ly patriotic in such an important
matter to the people of my State to
I rise above all personal consider-
ations and support and advocate a
I man I know to be pre-eminently
qualified for said position.
For this reason alone 1 appeal to
; you to investigate the claims of Mr.
I Colquitt and I am confident you
will find all that I say to be true.
Your fellow citizen
E. >1. WYNNE.
j
Hon. Ο. B. Colquitt of Terrell in
an open letter to the Railroad Com-
mission published in this morn-
ing's Dallas News presents some
facts and questions that is going to j
he very hard for the Commission to 1
answer. Mr. Colquitt says that the
Railroad Commission in its pub-
lished statement and comparison of
rates on coal and fuel oil in this
state seeks not to give the publié a ;
fair rate on Texas fuel oil but to
put fuel oil on a parity with coal by
maintaining a high rate on oil
and which will prevent a Texas oil
product from competing with the
outside coal product. Mr. Colquitt
has made a very clean clear con-
cise business-like statement of the
case and he has presented facts
that the Herald ventures to say that j
will not and can not be answered by I
the Commission. The letter of Mr.
Colquitt's is most courteous calm
and dignified and will call the at-
tention of the public consumers of
coal and fuel oil to some facts not
known or understood heretofore.—
Denison Herald August 1 1901.
A Ch atlanooga Druggists' Statemen
Robert J. Miller proprietor of the
Read House Drug Store of Chatta-
nooga Tenn. writes: "There is
more merit in Foley's Honey and
Tar than in any other cough syrup.
The calls font multiply wonderfully
and we sell more of it than all other
cough syrups combined." Sold by
B. W. FeariS.
Advertising Did It.
The National Biscuit company
sold its goods only in bulk for a
time and then decided to also put
them up in small packages. At the
recent annual meeting the head of
the concern told the stockholders
that "the results were achieved by
extensive advertising." The public
knew nothing of the products and
was led to try them solely by adver-
tising. "The results have exceeded
even our expectations. The compa
ny's profits have increased to $.j.t>70
44ûa >var."

A Tax on Education.
A bill of a dozen lines has been in-
troduced in the House of Represen-
tatives by Mr. Ray of New York to
provide for repeal of the duties on
printing paper and wood pulp. It
should be enacted into law without
delay although in a trust-ridden
Congress there is not much likeli-
hood that such an attempt to clip
trust profits will prevail. A tax on
printing paper and on the material
from which it is chiefly made is a
tax on education and intelligence.
It is levied for the benefit of asordlc
syndicate that is grinding up Amer-
ican forests with unexampled rapid-
ity and against which many states
have already found it necessary to
protect forest lands covering water-
sheds of vital importance. Wood
pulp from Canada and Norway was
brought into this country last year
over a tariff barrier of $5 per ton to
the amount of 50000 tone while
more than $4000000 worth of fine
paper—largely from Germany—paid
duties averaging over 70 per cent.
The Government does not need
the revenue from this source; and
the stubborn refusal of the protec-
tionist element in Congress to eon-
sent to its abolition can be regarded
only in the light of a demonstration
of what has been called the "cohe-
ive power of public plunder."—Phil-
adelphia Record.
Chronic Branch Hit Curai.
"For ten years I had chronic bron-
chitis so bad at times 1 could not
speak sbove a whisper" writes Mr
Joseph Coffman of Montmorencl
lad. "I tried ail remedies available
but with no success. Fortunately
my employer suggested that I try
Foley'· Honey and Tar. Its effect
was almost miraculous and I tun
now cured of the disease. On my
recommendation many people have
used Foley's Honey and Tar. and
always with satisfaction." Bold by

Cabin Reciprocity Measure
Before lhe Hoohp.
Washington. April 7.—The expecta-
tion οΓ the friends of the Chinese ex-
clusion Wll I3 that ita consideration
toy the senate will he concluded by
the middle of the present week if
not before. The Philippines govern-
ment bill will be taken tip immediate-
ly afterwards This bill probably will
occupy attention for a considerably
longer time than has any measure
since the Philippines tariff bill was
passed Democrats will make stenu-
ous efforts to secure material amend-
ments. They object to various fea-
tures of the bill and will charge that
its primary purpose is to permit the
granting of franchisee. They also will
take exception to the unqualified con-
tinuance of the administration of af-
fairs of the archipelago without mak-
ing any provision looking to any form
of self-government of the Filipino peo-
ple. Other points of controversy will
be the disposition of the friar's lands
and the public lands.
Strange enough in view of recent
controversies the currency provision
for the present at least heems to be
the one feature on which there is har-
mony among all factions.
Senator Lodge as chairman of the
Philippines will bave charge of the
bill but will make no preliminary ex-
I planation of its provision». He will
•eek to have the senate proceed im
— - V» \UW V»TJ-
La ils of the measure. At least all the
parly speeches on the bill will be made
by the members of the minority of
' the committee but which of them trill
j lead off haw not been decided. All of
; them are preparing set speeches and
; expect the assistance of other Demo-
I cratlc senators In the general debate
j They count upon devoting two or
I three weeks to the bill.
j There is general preparation about
j the senate for the Cuban reciprocity
blU as it is already apparent that
j when It comes up for consideration In
the senate Its passage will be stub-
bornly resisted.
The conference on the oleomargarine
bill probably will take place during
the week and as the senate made a
vast number of amendments to the
bill the conference may t>· somewhat
I prolonged.
right η Cuban K*elpro«ttj. *"
Washington April 7.—The greet
battle over Cuban reciprocity which
created such a protracted at niggle
among the Republicans both In cau-
cus and in the committee on ways and
means will be fought out in the house
this week. The ultimate passage of
the Payne bill providing for the 20
per cent reduction on the products of
Cuba after the negotiation of a reci-
procity treaty and the enactment of
Immigration laws by the cuban gov-
ernment is regarded as a foregone con-
clusion. but the situation is a compll- I
cated one owing to the division·
among the Democrats as well ae the
Republicans. How far the Republican
opponents of the proposed legislation
•will carry their opposition Is not
definitely determined.
The Chinese exclusion bill which
will come to a final vote to-morrow
will command practically every vote
In the house. The only question is as
to how tar the majority bill will b«
amended by the Insertion of provl-
ni/tnia * r\ malra I* 1·% "-■> —1 *·*
