A few years ago through the agency of
a now supremo court or rathor tUo selec-
tion of now members of tUo court llid
cities of Texas suddenly had their street
and sidewalk Improvements checked mid
thoy havo felt tho effects on progross ever
since. Mississippi through tho same
agency a now court Is about to llnd Indus-
trial activity and iavoatmenta stopped
within her borders.
It appears from tho comment of our
contemporaries on tho other side of the
big river that In Juno last tho Mississippi
court decided that tho constitution of 1SG0
did not exempt manufactories from taxa-
tion although It bad been from IJGD up to
iho date of tho decision popularly so sup-
posed had boon so doclured by tho supremo
court Itself and had boon bo acted upon by
tho legislature. Now tho Stato revenue
agent is engaged In forcing n payment of
taxes by thoso corporations that havo ho
long been belluvcd to bo exempt. Tho
hack taxes aro demanded and theso accu-
mulations of obligations are not only heavy
burdons In all caBes hut In somo instances
amount to confiscation. Tho Mobllo Regis-
ter discussing this unfortunate condition
of affairs truthfully says:

however falls Ulco a wet blanket tipoii thl

Nothing moro unfortunato for tlio honos rf

If not a legal duty rests upon the Stato
to sco that Investors do not suffor throtigh

Tho troublo arises In nil bucU cases'
from the dcslro of somo now occupant of
tho bench to display his ability to split
hairs In argument or to create n sonsntlqn

ami on tho other hand that somo of tho.
appropriations must go over If tho senate
ninjorlfjr determine to dovole their ener-
gies to forcing tho army bill through tn
any event therefore It looks like nn extra
session.
Tho democrats In tha senato aro perfect-
ly willing to shoulder their part of tho
responsibility lor an extra session occa-
sioned by their opposition to this army
reorganization measure. Not only docs tho
bill championed by tho republicans provldo
for permanently quadrupling tho forces
composing tho regular army beforo tho
tvnr with Spain but it falls to mnko the
reforms in our military system which re-
cent experiences have dictated both to tho
Judgment and patrlolltm of tho country.
It is in effect but an enlargement of tho
opportunities for the play and practice of
"Algorism." Tho democrats are willing to
content to an lncreaso temporarily ot tho
army to meet and haudlo existing exi-
gencies but against tho policy ot u
largo and at tho saino ttmo permanent
military establishment iu this Itopubllc
thoy aro fixedly nrrayed.
If Mr McKlnlcy la ready on this issue
to nssumo tho responsibility of cnlllng an
cxtrn session of congress with all Its co3t
to tho country nnd posslblo dlsturbanco ot
business let htm call it.
Thcro is scarcely n doubt that tho next
congress will bo thoroughly subservient
to tho administration so far as Tom need
will allow In lho house. Possibly tho sat
isfaction of getting all that tho adminis-
tration could ask from tho next congress
would moro than reconcile Mr. McKlnlcy
to any political capital that might bo made
by tho democrats out of tho fact ot calling
an extra session. And when this new fccn-
ato and houno begin to bow down before
their ndmlnlstrntlon Idols nnd saddlo tho
Nation with now burdens tho "dear peo
ple" can idled that they are viewing tho
results of (heir own work in tho elections
of 1S0S and havo nono lo blnmo but them-
selves! VOT JIATI3HIAI.."
Tho scnatorfl all scorned to tnko tho Mc-
Llicry resolution too borioiialy. It was noth-
ing but a dcclnriainii ot what lho senate
thinks ought to to tho future nnllpv of the
tlnlU'd States in (ho Philippines. Now tlio
country will llttlo reck when t eomw iu

tlcr and murder and lirlcindaKo ninde utt-
rashlonuble what tlm opinion of a iiMlcrltv

braska Sttito Journal.
Under tho abovn caption ono of the rep-
resentatlvo tepubjlcan Journnl oftlm West
Indulges In lho commont Just quoted with
rcforonco to tho McEnory resolution which
recently passed tho senato.
Tho remarks of the Nebraska Stato Jour-
nal would indicate a purpose on tho part
ot tbo imperialists to Ignore nt their own
sweet pleasuro lho opinion or suggestions
ot either house of congrass when it comes
lo unfolding tho policy ot conquest. And
this In Xact is lho spirit that animates
them. Tho Stale Journnl Is mistaken
liowovcr If It thinks tho resolution
Is morely designed to be the ex-
pression of tho vlaws of tho senate It
la a Joint resolution which goes to lho
house and it passed there to the presi
dent and if signed by him would become.
a law ot tho Imid supposedly llxlug our
Philippine policy.
Hut If It should run tho gauntlot of tho
lower bouso of congross and of tho White
houso successfully it would nt til bo a plcco
ot puro slmpllolly to tako It "too serious
ly" as a correct or fortunate expression of
tho policy of anll-oxpanslon. It Is bus
pccted-ln tho first placo that the rcsolti
lion wns merely Intended ns a bridge to
enable certain distinguished senators
among others Its author who had been
apparently antagonistic to tho treaty to
pass gracefully over to lho ratification side
ut tho uloventh hour without tho seeming
stultification of Inconsistency or desertion
A glanco nt Iho tcrmu of tho resolution
v 111 show however that whatever may
have been Us author's Intentions It real
ly creates a practically permanent military
satrapy out of the Philippines and thus
outlines a policy of all othors that tho
Imperialists would dcslro to havo thin
government adopt. Uut this purpoao is ex
pressed In terms apparently breathing such
fairness 10 tho Philippine? and seemingly
leaning so much toward nntl-cxpanslon
that tho nnti-expanflonlsts on tho face of
things would havo been placed In rathor
an embarrassing position to havo voted
against the resolution. It therefore went
through tho sunato easily because not
taken "sctlously" enough
Driclly summarized tho resolution do-
clures that It Is not intended to "Incorpo-
rate" tho inhabitants of tho Islands ns
cltlzons nor permanently annex tho nrchi
pclngo "as au Integral portion" ot the
territory of tho United Sla(03 hut to es-
tablish such a government thcro ns shall
"In duo time" fit tho natives for "local
self-govornmont" and that then tho Unit-
ed States may dispose of thein "In such
manner" as Is "best for tho United States
and for the islands."
Tho Phltlpluos aro npt to become citi-
zens nor tho Island to? become an "In-
tegral portion" such a a State or Ter-
ritory of tho United Slates but are to
bo govornod Indefinitely by us as subjects
or wards of tho Nation and kept for 200
years In thnt condition If wo think It prop

It will bo scon that this la the very
nemo of Imperialism and thcro is little
necessity for tho rabid expansionists tuk-
Ing tho McEncry resolution too much to

political obstructionists and tho news-

Idea.
Hut tho beginning of a projoct that Is to

to npproprlato money for tho making of

What la needed horo first is a class of
manufacturing plants that will utlltiq
Eorno of tho products that can bo and aro
talsed in Tcxasj Industries thnt will slip-
ply tho pcoplo of tho Stato with homo-i
niado goods instead of forcing them to
consume articles made In Mnlno or Mis-
tourl.
Tho benefits ot such Industries can.
be easily estimated. First is the de-
mand for tho raw product. If this Is
something not now cultivated in Texas
It will encourage crop diversification and
Insuro n living for a certain number el
farmers. If it is a product already ex-
tensively cultivated It will Incrcnso tho
demand therefor and In many Instances
net tho farmer totter prices.
Then tho factory Itself will give em-
ployment to labor and add toMho poula-
tlon and buying capacity of tho city.
Dulld twenty factories in Houston this
year aud tho city's poulatlon will bo in-
creased r0000 to 75000. Tho factoilcs
themselves would employ 10000 to 40000
people aiid theso would open up othar
avenues of employment for 20000 to flO.OOO
more. Thcro would bo n necessity for ad-
ditional mercantile establishments and
for ninny other Institutions all of which
would help circulate money and give em-
ployment to labor. Tho building of now
houses would bo necessary and thcro
would bo an Increased demand In ovory
lino of trade. Tho surioimdlng country
would be thickly settled with farmers
raising agricultural and horticultural
products to supply tho wants of a big
city.
It Is really a difficult matter to esti-
mate the benefits thnt arc derived fiom
Bitch enterprises. One factory placed In
a city does moro to help Its growth than
any other Investment. Its 'illucnco is felt
In a thousand wuys. It is like a ray of
sunlight which may gladden hearts and
warm dormant nature Into llto from ono
cud of tha Stato to lho other.
Such Industries ns this need not bo
starlcd by homo capitalists from a phil-
anthropic standpoint howovor. The loc
of his follow man need not actuate uny
builder of n factory nnd It doubtless will
not. In this ago men do not undertake
such enterprises unless thoy believe' thoro
is money in Mio Investment and surely
thcro Is less risk and an ns-
turanco ot n greater profit in
a factory established at Houston than in
any other line of business. Tho demand
for tho goods Is horo tho raw products
aro here and tho labor Is here. All
that is needed Is men with money und
brains to tot lho wheels ot industry In
motion.
There Is everything horo to mako an
ndmlrablo manufacturing center and In
tho courso ot timo Houston will bo a
city of factories. Hut lirst homo capital-
ists should mako a few bold ventures.
Why should not our own citizens strive
to get In on tho ground flooras it were.
Thcro Is no need toswnlt for outsldo In-
vestors. Factories built with homo capi-
tal and managed by homo mon aro cer-
tainly moro deslrablo from many stand-
points than those promoted or owned by
mon living In Now England.
Nothing has been or will bo douo In
Texas to keep out forolgn capital but
there should bo a llttlo moro encourage-
ment ot homo investments; a llttlo moro
reliance upon tho men and tho money
within easy reach.
When homo mon put up a factory all
tho profits In tho business remain here
and all tho monoy Is spent here. The div-
idends aro not bhlpped to tho North aad
Knst hut aro put into our home banks
or invested In other lines of business.
Homo industries promoted with homo
capital by homo mou which uso 'homo
' products nnd oniplpy homo labor aro
badly needed In Houstin. The future ot
the city depends upon its industrial ex-
1 panslon. That futtiro Is assured but we

enjoys tho enormous advantago of never
having expressed uny oplniea on tho Droy-
fus revision and his views on this point
aro still unknown to his clo&csl friends.
Tho conviction of thobo lit the president's
confidence la that come what may thcro
will be no flinching from tho responsibility

picture ot Loubofs home life: "It Is trus
thut Loubct did not wear his peasant's
wooden tabots in his apartment in Luxem-

tho president of tho Kcnatc but when ha
camo homo he always took off bis shoes
und put on n pair Tit felt slippers which
ho woro even during meals. Whllo eating
ho tucks n coVncr ot his napkin In his
shirt collar. His wife who alss comes

biiioking it expectorates freely on the

carpot may bo. Madam Limbet is a lo-
quacious woman and a good housekeeper.
She speak. with a strong Southoru ac-
cent "Tho new president will bo a difficult

Paris February 0. Tha demonstrations
havo entirely ceased perhaps until nftor
the funeral of M. Fatirc but tho aspect Is
altogether moro hopeful and President
Loubet's scat seems permanent. He ls
credited with ths declaration that ho will
resist strongly any attompt at disturbances
and lias rc-afflrmeiT his intention to re-
tain tho deputy cabinet a step which leads
lo removo tho suspicion that lie io :i
Droyfusard. Ho has followed tho custom
ot giving holiday remission of punishments
to tho army and navy and has made do-
nations to the poor.
Tho llery Patrlo Krnncals has Issued an
unexpectedly mild manifesto briefly ex-
pressing tho wish that tfio now president
shall oxtricato hlmselt from all compro-
mising connections and havo a clear con-
scloneenosss of his duty toward the Fath-
erland and tLo army. The manifesto Is
signed by SI. Cavalgmic Coppe Formln
Jcmnltre nnd others. The inferonco Is
that tho agitation against President Lou-
bet Is artificial and is already dying both
in tho streets and the now&papers.
