THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.
There never has been any law passed
by congress since congress was that ha*
been as unfairly treated as this Inter-
state commerce law has been. Before
its passage it was regarded most hope-
fully by all classes as an antidote to the
complained of exactions and injustices
of railway corporations. Now that it
has passed every obstruction and mis-
construction that can be put upon it in
order to make It appear odious is sad-
dled upon its back without the least
reference to the justice or injustice
relevancy or irrelevancy of such a pro-
ceeding. The Interstate law was orig-
inally called into being by demand of
the popular sentiment for some restric-
tion upon the unequal rates levied by
railway corporations. In many instances
these railways owned large realestate
interests in certain towns. By discrim-
inating against all their rivals in the
way of freight charges these cities in
which the railways were interested
were built up at the expense of others.
In many instances the grain elevators
and stock yards at certain favored points
were owned in whole or in part by rail-
way corporations and the freight sched-
ules were directly arranged with refer-
ence to the advantage of such trade lo-
cations. State regulations could not
avail against this evil as no
state could control the tariff or
legislate for the regulation of a rate
beyond its own borders. An act of con-
gress was seen to be necessary and that
act was passed. This act demanding
the cessation of all pooling operations on
the part of the railways the roads have
raised rates to suit themselves competi-
tion being practically at end or the
roads agreeing to raise all rates to bring
interstate law into disrepute. The mer-
chants and in too many instances the
press not waiting for the interstate
commission to redress these grievances
have very foolishly and thoughtlessly
charged them upon the law when the
truth is they are chargeable upon the in-
tent and endeavor of the railways to
bring the law into disrepute. The inter-
state law Is no more responsible for this
increase in charges than is the command
thou shalt not steal for the theft of the
prisoner before the bar. There is no
doubt that many of these arise
from the very parties who have hereto-
fore enjoyed special railway favors at
the expense of their neighbors. The In-
terstate commerce law Is one covering a
very untried and hitherto unexplored
domain of legislation. It* early form
will necessarily be found crude and Im-
perfect but under the band of the intel-
ligent commission invested with its exe-
cution it will be rendered practical and
available for tbe uses for which It was
brought Into being. The wise citizen
will wait the Issue of events and not
condemn the law because its enemies
have attempted to make it odious.
THE MAY MAGAZINES.
Harikrs Monthly for May. completing
the seventy-fourth volume of this popu-
lar Monthlyreaches the Liobt table just
in time to save its distance before tbe
month closes. The usual well arranged
index which accompanies tbe closing
number of each volume is found with
this. The opening article in this May
number “Tbe recent movement in
Southern Literature” is an admirable
presentation of what may be termed a
companion pie ce to tbe much that has
been said and written concerning the
new south industrially considered. Tbe
article is a thoughtful one descriptive
and discursive as well as analytical
finely illustrated with life like portraits
and In every way a moat acceptable ad-
dition to tbe chapter of southern move-
ments as well as to that of American
literature. “Acting and Acton” Is an-
other most characteristic article and
presents tbe French side of tbe picture
in a way as Frenohy as 1* the subject
Itself. Part second of “Through tbe
Caucasus” is another of those discriptive
picture* that we have learned to look for
in Harper’* and which are presented
there with a naturalness of manner
language and illustration not found else-
where. In this department Harper holds
it* own and brooks no rival near tbe
throne. The continued stories “Naska”
and “April Hopes” sustain tbe in-
terest they have awakened in the early
numbers. These will serve as a sample
ot the number which includes Ite usual
modicum of poetry the record of cur-
rent events tbe Easy Chair and all
those features which have become an in-
dispensable part of this oldest and most
standard of current monthlies.
Scribner's Magazine for May—No Five
of tbe first volume gives no hint of
diminished excellence but amply ful-
fils the promise of the opening year
that it would crowd tbe $4 magazine to
their best pace to keep step with it*
progress. The May number contains —
The development of tbe steamship and
the Liverpool exhibition of 1886. This
article is amply illustrated with draw-
ings diagrams and instantaneous pho-
tographs by tbe author and will be
found as Instructive as it is interesting
by all who enter into tbe subject of na-
val constructions. The fronticepiece is
a life-like picture of the Italian war
steamer Ulovanl Bausan from an In-
stantaneous photograph. “The Tide”
“Residuary Legatee” “A Collection of
Unpublished Letters of Thackarey”
“Forests of North America” “At Last”
••Marse Archie’s Fight” "An Irish
Wild Flower” “The Story of a New
York House. “An Ocean Graveyard.”
“ I'be Manse” “Lohengrin” “Seth’s
Brother’s Wife” “An Islander” and
“Words and Music” complete tbe table
of contents of this .May number. Scrib-
ners have done magazine readers a ser-
vice in giving them a return to anti-war
prices and in doing s* without dimin-
ishing tbe excellence of tbe work pre-
sented.
EDITORIAL BREVITIES
Thkhk will be a struggle in the next
congress for a repeal of tbe interstate
commerce law. Ot this fact all signs
give abundant evidence.
San Antonio can show more good rea-
sons why tbe state military encampment
should be held here than any other city
in Texas.
Miss Alice Jordan has been admitted
to practice at the bar of the Michigan
superior court. This lady was made L.
L. B. at Yale last year. In this connec-
tion that means Little Beauty.
The divorce business gets in Its work
on tbe short haul at Philadelphia. A
man who was married there at 8 o’clock
divorced himself with a bullet and left
his wife a widow one hour later.
Fort Scott strikes natural gas at 900
feet; Fort Worth finds It In unlimited
supply on the surface. Kansas cannot
compete with Texas.
San Antonio will have an opinion and
an ordinance defining iron-clad build-
ings as soon as the city attorney reports
and council adopts report.
The Farmers’ Alliances of Bexar
county are following su't and imitating
the action of the northern alliances in
putting their store orders with the firm
that will bid lowest for their trade.
The I. O. O. F. was sixty-eight years
old yesterday at least tbe American
section of it and the anniversary whs
duly observed In maty of the subordi-
nate lodges of the three-linked brethren
in this state.
If neither Davis nor Beauregard are
choked oil the people of the United
States may get an Inkling of some of the
Inner workings of the confederacy
whicb It was never intended should
reach tbe light of day.
Holston has organized a real estate
exchange and is moving for a merchants
exchange or board of trade. Houston
is wise and the cities which follow her
lead In these things will not be foolish.
It Is lawful to bet in New York on a
race course for 30 days out of the 365.
That Is the limit according to the legis-
lature. Outside of these 30 race days
betting and pool selling are illegal.
Organization among the agricultural
classes of Texas is progressing more
rapidly than with any other class of la-
borers. The producers see it to their in-
terest to combine not only in erder to
dispose of their farm products advan-
tageously. but In order to buy their sup-
plies at the lowest possible rates
Chicago having bad such good luck in
her anarchist trials is not willing to turn
her boodlers over to any other county
and will try them at home. Judge Tul
ley refuses application for change of
venue.
James Rcssell Low ell snubbed a re-
porter who on last Saturday wanted to
know bow long Mr. Russell was going
to be in Europe and now the epithets
are coming to the front. Russell told
tbe reporter that it was nobody’s busi-
ness but his own and tbe reporter got
bufly.
St. Louis will have the grandest
workingmen's parade on May Ist that
has ever taken place near the big bridge.
All the trades unions and the Knights of
Labor assembles will be In line and
moving on that day. Tbe procession
will be so long that Chicago can view it
with a spy-glass.
No eviction In Ireland was ever more
heartless unjust and cruel or inflicted
greater suffering and hardship than thia
eviction of bona-fide settlers from the
Crow reservation by order of Grover
Cleveland. Poor widows whose all was
on their farmswere forcibly removed by
the soldiers and dumped down at the
railway station to starve.
Dr. McGlynn has maintained a very
judicious silence sine. his suspension by
tbe archbishop. He has had no hearing
no opportunity to state bis case before
tbe tribunal and if the report of hie
permanent suspension from bis pastoral
office Is confirmed it will be a sad day
for St. Stephens.
New South Wales received her first
consignment of convict* January 20
1878. The centennial of this settlement
Is to be observed In the colony next
January. How many will be anxious to
trace their linneage to this first shipload?
Botany Bay does not bear the charmed
name that Massachusetts bay doe*.
The Craftsman asserts that tbe re-
ports of tbe robberies on tbe Panhandle
road are largely tbe creation of tbe fer-
tile imaginations of tbe detectives and
that no wholesale plundering has been
done. If tbe Craftsman is not drawing
on its own imagination for its facts tbe
eounty will feel relieved. Tbe evidence
however is all against the Craftsman’s
position.
Dr. Hoffmann of tbe bureau of eth-
nology (American) has received from tbe
king of Portugal the order of St. James
founded In 1177. There are but three
European orders that are older among
those now extant. These are the order
of St. John of Jerusalemand two Spanish
order*.
"Turn tbe rascals out.” But where
will you begin Mr. Democrat ? The
presidential poetoffices are filled by
democrats and all the others that are
worth contending for; the democrats
hold all the Internal revenue offices;
every territorial governor is a democrat;
of tbe fifty-six presidential appoint-
ments in tbe territories tbe president
has changed forty-four since coming In-
to office and there is not much more
turning oat to be done unless tbe pres-
ent crib-feeders are ousted for new ones.
New Orleans is becoming alive to the
MOMllty Of having her streets embow
•rnd in shade and Is agitating for an
"arbor day.” such as has been common
at the north these many years. An arbor
day In Texas would be a good institu-
tion it properly observed ill a single
decade the looks ot our street* in many
clllee would bn so changed for the bet-
ter that those who laid them out would
not recognize them.
There are no Indications that winter
will leave bl* time-honored seat in the

DAN RICE.
Borno Incidents in tbe Life of tbe Clown
who Recently Lived In San
Antonio.
Dan Rice the well known "clown of
our daddies” who stayed in this city
Bomu weeks ago and sojourned among
us is now a “lion” in Cincinnati and a
good story is told ofhim during the civil
war. When It broke out Dan had a
steamboat show running on the Missis-
sippi and was under engagement to ap-
pear nt Mobile Memphis and other im-
portant points in tile confederate lines
but be was quite equal to the occasion.
Business to him was business and
patriotism was a second consideration
so he hoisted the confederate flag and
Hung it to the breeze whilst in the south
but as lie gradually worked Ills way into
the federal lines the stars ai d strip’ s
floated from the main mast. Some years
after Dan showed bls patriotism by
erecting a handsome monument In Erie
Pa. which la inscribed as follows: "To
the memory of the soldiers of Erle
county who felt In defence ot their coun-
ty erected by Col. Daniel Rice.”
Talking of Dan it is a fact that some
years ago lie boosted himself for presi-
dent. It advertised him but of course
he did not get there and didn’t expect
to. It was .Imply an advertisingdodge.
Some idea of the earnings of Dsn
Rice may be gained from the fact that
in 1*65 Forepaugb engaged him for $25-
090 a year and for two seasons after it
lie was retained at $275'90. Thia shows
it takes a wise mini to be a "fool”-and
evidences the truth of the axiom "a
fool makes money where a wise man
starves.” Dan is well fixed now but
spends his time pushing his claim to the
estates of liis father U.S. Mellaren of
which he is heir and from which he
hopes to secure a colossal fortune.

Newspapers In 1887.
ro. P. Rowell & Co. of New York
w ieeuo on Monday May 2nd the
Annual edition of their
gndard publication the “American
•wspaper Directory.”
The new volume contains an exhaus-
ve list of all class publications ao ad-
nrsbly arranged that any one of the
hree Ihou uial papers represented there
■an be readily referred to and all impor-
tant facts concerning it together with
Its circulating rating easily obtained.
Tbe Newspaper Directory will be used
principally by publishers advertisers
and advertising agents but the vast fund
of information it contains makes it valu-
able to persons ot almost every trade
and profession. As a Gazetteer alone it
It well worth the prion charged $5.00
for it fully describes every town in
which a newspaper is issued and few
people care to know about anj 1 place
where one is not.
The number of papers published in the
United States Territories (i'lclmling
Alaska) and Canada is put ai 15420; an
increase of s*l in one yi ar.
The growth of newspapers in somo of
the Western States would be a matter of
wonder if it were not that thia year is
no exception to tb rule In Kansas the
increase is 89 uni! in Nebraska 64; while
the Keystone Slate shows a smaller ad-
vance of 35 and the Buckeye State of 80.
Pennsylvania exhibits rhe largest in-
• reuse In dailies. 17; Kansas in weeklies.
81 and New York iu monthlies 42;
Seven States show si decrease; the most
prominent instances being New Hamp-
shire and Virginia six each. The whole
volume shows tiiat great care has been
taken to sustain its reputation as the
most comprehensive work of the kind
yet published and to insure accuracy In
every detail. Anything less than a com-
plete compendium of American newspa-
pers and periodicals would surprise
those yvho are familiar with the former
