ing southward, and is now demanding
the Panama canal to reach the west-

will probably be lessened from the
eastern end, but will be more than
compensated by the local development
of shipments from irrigated lands.
These lands constitute the enormous
amount of one-sixth the acreage of the
United States.

expansion In certain directions, but its
failure In other directions to master

ABUSING DUMB ANIMALS.
Upon several occasions of late re-
ports have been published in the
newspapers of the inhuman treatment
and abuse of dumb animals by negroes
and white men here in Austin and
other cities of the state. This con-
dition of affairs emphasises most
strongly the necessity of state legis-
lation to punish most severely the
man or set of men who willfully abuse
dumb brutes. The punishment for
such a crime could not be too severe.
In fact the establishment of the whip-
ping post In every town in the state
for the brutes who abuse dumb ani-
mals would be the most fitting pun-
ishment that could be accorded them.
In the absence of activity upon the
part of local officers and humane soci-
eties the law should be made so se-
vere that a few cohvietions under it
would have a wholesome effect upon
the culprits who daily and weekly sat-
isfy their brutal passions by beating
dumb animals that can not offer re-
sistance. A man who will engage in
such hellish work should be made to
suffer from the lash across hh bare

mon agriculture and a single destiny.

perts and students of economy that
such a canal will utterly fall to reach
the heart of the trouble and serve any
valuable purpose in the way of hold-
fng western commerce. It is thought
now to be a probable event that the
barge canal, after being exploited in
the way of Burveys and estimates, will
give way to a ship canal that will take
lake vessels directly through without
’unloading to New York city. At pres-
ent the Candlan solution is the most
promising. It affords a twenty-foot
canal passing around the falls and
finding an outlet through Montreal and
the Gulf of S. Inwrence. From a
broad American onlook this is -satis,

The new America, toward which

agriculture, and pledge not only new

cago to New York was about 14 cents
per bushel, while the water rate was
about half that. The registered Amer-
ican tonnage of the lakes In 1900 was
1,500,000 tons. The larger ships, draw-
ing nineteen feet of water, carried’from
8000 to 10,000 gross tons. They carry
their cargoes a thousand miles. In
keen riyalry with the raWroad systems
that are collateral. There are more
vessels passing annually through the
Detroit river than enter both London
ind Liverpool. The number of vessels
passing through St. Mary’s Falla ca-
nals in 1900 was nearly five times an
great as passed through the Hues
canal. With such an Immense devel-
opment of commerce, it is no wonder
that the great carrying commerce has
begun to look with alarm as well as
amazement At the new tide south-
ward.
That shippers will be allowed to find
it more convenient and cheaper to ex-
port through New Orleans than
through New York, without a terrible
struggle, is not to be expected. New
possibly of the whole country. Our
interest will not be any the less thrill-
ed by the fact that the great northern
lakes constitute, all together, another
immense inland sea,s Mediterranean
around which the ihtional energies
first found their developraent and ex-
pression. The completed nation will
be that double-armed .force which
works with equal vigor at the north
and at the south. While it is true that
the Gulf of Mexico was first discover-
ed. the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the
take chain which finds outlet through
that gulf were first settled.
somewhere in the geological past,
scientists tell us that thgit. Lawrence
and Mohawk rivers weiorged with
glacier ice, the lakes behid them con-
stituting one vast inland sea. France
took possession of the St. Lawrence
System early In the fifteenth century,
and after 200 years of possession clos-
ed one of the most brilliant eras of ex-
ploration and conquest by ceding the
whole of it to England in 1763, The
great lakes system thus turned over
to Great Britain penetrated the very
heart of the continent. The head of
Lake Superior is 1400 miles from the
Atlantic ocean and only 1700 miles
Yesterday witnessed the formal
opening of the Texas building at the
World's Fair at St. Louis. Governor
Lanham and other distinguished
speakers were in attendance as par-
ticipants and onlookers in the ceremo-
nies; which were both ‘impressive and
interesting.
The opening of this building to the
public marks another era in this
state’s history. At the outset it was
hoped that Texas would have a more
Imposing building in which to display
its many exhibits, but results have
shown that that which was a misfor-
tune at the outset has proven a bless-
ing in the end. We today can truth-
fully boast of one of the handsomest
and most attractive buildings on the
grounds, though not’as large as orig-
inally intended. The interior is a
model of architectural beauty and is
finished throughout with native Texas
wood handsomely designed and in-
laid. The exterior is commented upon
far and near as artistic in design and
execution.
Here is where Texas will be at
home to friends and visitors through-
out the Fair. That she will do herself
credit in the matter of entertaining
and showing off to the beat possible
advantage her wealth and resources
and the abundance of her agricultural
verse sections of the whole country.
Artificial waterways will dountless
prevent rapid changes and help to
equalise conditions. Between these
costly canal routes there will also be
keen rivalry.
But what I care most to consider is
not the rivalry of sections—not even
to compare the magnificent systems
which characterize the north and the
south. What I most desire is to ex-
hibit the possible co-operation of our
whole country In distribution, as well
as in production. If the northern
Mediterranean system yields at all to
the gulf Mediterranean, it will only be
that in the end there shall come about
a hew ommercial identity of the
whole country. It is only within the
last few years that commercial ex-
pansiom has thought of touching the
harbors which surround the whole of
the United States. Even the active
Atlantic ports were confined within
the narrow limit from Boston to Nor-
ous decadence of eastern export. It
will be many years before we shall,
with the keenest rivalry, find New
York city any less the emporium than
she is today. New York is the only
city in the United States which was
able between 1890 and 1900 to hold her
ratio of increase of poulation. Every
other city, notwithstanding rapid and
wholesome growth, fell off from the
ratio sustained between 1880 and 1890.
The positive increase of all our larger
cities grouped together had been about
7 per cent, but after 1890 this dropped
to about 2 1-2 per cent. The move-
ment that Increased the relative
growth of St. Louis over Chicago
placed New Orleans rapidly next to
New York as an export city. Galves-
ton forges ahead of Boston, and even
this is a land governed by that su-
preme law, and, as under it the power
to exclude has been determined to ex-
ist. those who are excluded can not
assert the rights in general obtaining
in a land to which they do not be-
long as citizens or otherwise.
Answering the plea that Turner was
on "active" anarchist, the chief jus-
tice says:
Even if Turner, even though he did
not so state to the immigration board
of inquiry, only regarded the absence
of government as a political ideal, yet
when he sought to attain it, by advo-
cating, not simply for the benefit of
workingmen who are justly entitled to
repel the charge of desiring the de-
struction of law and order, but “at any
rate as an anarchist," the "universal
strike,” to which he referred and by his
discourses on what he called "the legal
murder of 1887,” referring to the Spies
ease, and by addressing mass meet-
ings on that subject in association
with Most, we can not say that the
Inference was unjustifiable, either that
he contemplated the ultimate realiza-
tion of his Ideal by the use of force.
Our goods take the same roundabout
route. The opening of an isthmian
canal will open to us direct commerce
with Valparaiso and Lima. The south-
ern states will be compelled to greatly
prosper by this change; but by it
there will also be reated a short and
straight route from Boston and New-
York and Baltimore to the western
ports of South America.
The line of nature’s logic goes, how-
ever, farther than a need of a Panama
canal. It points out the desirability
of a Pan-American railroad from. Port-
land to Lima. This road, connecting
with the trans-Andean road, will carry
our products directly over into Argen-
tina and .Paraguay and Brazil. This
road across the Amies is nearly com-
pleted. The Pan-American road is
also an assured certainty, and already
is In process . of construction. The
congress of all American states that
met in the City of Mexico expressed
the deep convictions of both continents
that we ought to be united as nature
directed, along the spinal column of
the hemisphere. This will contribute
to peace and good-fellowship and co-
operative internationalism, as well as
increase our commercial development.
We have heretofore been too busy
taking possession of easy, natural and
open routes to fully set ourselves to
the task of carrying commercial enter-
prise over obstacles such as nature
has set for us along the Western side
of the two continents. The Mississip-
pi valley is now flowing full of our im-
perialism. The gulf is open to our
commerce. Practically our influence
controls this great inland sea. The i
Politics with some is a luxury, but
in moat cases it is a necessity.

The United States supreme court
I has forever closed the door against
the bloody, mob-fnspiring anarchists
from across the water. It has done so
by a recently rendered opinion, up-
holding the law passed by congress im-
’ mediately following the assassination
of President McKinley.
) This opinion was rendered in a case
inspired by the anarchists themselves
to test the validity of the law, and in-
asmuch as the court has passed upon
every feature of their protest as to
the validity of the act. it will serve
notice upon all prospective visitors of
the anarchist stripe that this country
will not stand for their rabid mouth-
Ings, or even their very objectionable
presence in our midst.
The case in point was the outcome
of the action of the New York immi-
grattn authorities in expelling John
Turner, a notorious English anarchist,
from this country. Turner first visited
the United States in 1896, leaving a
trail of lurid adjectives wherever his
peregrinations reached. At that time
there was no compact law to place a
quietus on him. He returned in Octo-
ber of list year, and was arrested in
the middle of his first speech in New
York and removed to Ellis Island. His
arrest was on a warrant sworn by Sec-
retary Cortelyou of the bureau of
commerce and labor, who acted on
the very explicit warning received from
the English authorities. Turner was
released on a substantial ball and re-
turned to Europe, while his fellow an-
archists in this country raised a fund
to test the constitutionality of the law
under which he had been deported.
The main contentions of the complain-
ant’s attorneys were that Turner had
not given utterances to specifically
murderous sentiments, and that he had
been forbidden free speech.
Passing upon the "free speech” con- l
tention, Chief Justice Fuller says: <
