We w.itc it now 1907.
The king is dead! Long live the
king!
American boycott by China bobs
up again.
Cuba is not as happy as she was
when United States held Havana.
That uprising in Mexico that did not
uprise is still being talked over. Stet!
The old year went out in a horror
of railroad accidents and life losses
at sea.
The year 1906 was the best this
city ever saw. The year 1907 will be
a better.
The New Year resolution should
in the life and the act not merely
the tongue.
Uncle Sam can build that ditch at
Pmama without the Chinks. No need
tc boycott that.
It would be wise to go slew on
tales of negro conspiracies against
white employers.
The New Year came In rather tear-
ful but they were soft and warm
tears not bitter ones.
What a magnificent New Year's
present the settlement of that railroad
strike would have been.
When the negro is discarded as a
house servant on account of the fear
the whites have of violence it is going
to be the blackest day for the race
it ever saw.
There is no real revolution in Cuba
but the bands of disordered and idle
.are roaming the island looking for
Lrms and taking what they need to
Bit and wear.

That big island to the south of the
United States is a big abortion and
much as we do not want her ft may
become necessary in the end to take
her over to prevent a worse thing.
When the imagination is regulated
and its motion controlled by reason
there will be fewer sensations in the
world but the newspapers will be a
heap less interesting reading.
■When the block signal system will

LEGISLATIVE OPPORTUNITY.
The legislature of the state will be
getting together in another week and
there will be more serious work for ft
than for any of its predecessors since
reconstruction days. The matters of
taxes and their equalization through-
out the state is of the first import-
ance and like upto it is the mat* r
of an election law that will not be a
tyranny on human intelligence. These
two are but the beginning of things
for there should be some pronounced
action by the legislature elect that
would stamp the true position and at-
titude of the state toward corpora-
tions. That this state is suffering
from the impression justly created by
many of the acts of the railway com-
mission that Texas has no friendship
for railway enterprise is not a ques-
tion. It is a fact. This Impression
is dead against the interests of the
state particularly at this time when
all the movement ot the best element
ot the whole country is toward the
southwest tor Investment. The legis-
lature could not do a better thing for
Texas than make plain the fact that
the people of the state only ask a prop-
er regulation of the carrying compan-
ies and the telegraph and telephone
companies and are not hostile to these
great corporations. Then last but
greatest is the disposition of this
Bailey case. Texas seems booked to
make the mistake of her life here a
mistake that will be frought with evil
to the standing of the state for long
years in the future. Her legislature
should ponder long and seriously and
dismiss all personal considerations
end friendships from her thought be-
fore she acts. Any action that lowers
or seems to lower the standard of
high honorableness and unquestioned
integrity of life and character on the
part of those she elects to the sen-
ate of the nation will return like the
curses and chickens of the proverb
to roost upon her own doorsill and
stain the white marble of her state
house.
The rivers and harbors bill is go-
ing to be a large one and there is go-
ing to be no little discussion over
its items before it is agreed to in con-
gress. There will be a division of sen-
timent as to putting more into this
department of treasury expenditure
and less into the navy or the revers-
es. The advocates of both measures
are in earnest and will muster all their
forces to secure the heavier appropria-
tion for their own pet improvement.
There is a little hope and many
think only a little for a subsidy bill
to fass at this session of congress
that will recreate our merchant mar-
ine and thus provide a powerful aux-
iliary for the navy 'in an emergency.
What Is the wisdom In building a large
navy and leaving the country without
any provision for a large transport
service and a strong reserve out of
which to recruit sailors in time of
war? Without a merchant marine we
have neither a transport service nor
a reserve of seawise men out of which
to recruit sailors.
Senator Bailey is not choice In his
language certainly not as choice as
one who poses as the pink of south-
ern chivalry and the future master
of the White house should be. There
are other ways of telling a man that
his statements are not wind and wa-
terproof without calling him a liar
and this uncouth little word falls with
great frequency from the lips of the
pretty-boy of the United States senate.
Cannot the senator somewhat correct
his diction?
The japs are not pleased with the
manner in which they are nbt paid
the wages they expected when they
hiked across the briny to the mines in
Mexico. Those Japs have been grum-
bling for the earth which they think
they own and do not ever since the
god of battles and the heaviest ar-
tillery' awarded them the apple In the
Russian contest. They are welcome
to all their conceit and all their dis-
content so long as they keep out ot
the United States.
President Cassatt of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad was a large man meas-
ured by character growth and achieve-
ments. Like most great men he was
simple in his life and his death de-
veloped his dislike of pomp and show.
GOVERNOR TOM CAMPBELL.
Governor-elect Campbell is moder-
ate to a degree in meeting the de-
mands ot tile office-seekers upon him.
He has male his appointments with
well-consideled slowness and while it
is not possible that all applicants and
their will be pleased it seems

are to be made upon Governor Camp-
bell and his appointments and his
course as a public character holding
the highest gift In the power of Texas
to confer on him must be made upon
what is to follow and not upon what
has been. His course since the elec-
tion of November has been straight
open dignified reserved conservative
cautious committed to the one dec-
laration that the interests of the state
are to come first. It is a pleasure for
an opponent political to his party to
be able truthfully to call attention to
the supreme command that Tom Camp-
bell has of the situation and to the
extent to which he has justified an ex-
pectation of a good administration of
the affairs of the state. Texas must
have a democratic governor this
seems to be Inevitable political destiny
at present. Being so it Is a pleasure
to note that the democrats seem to
have missed their usual blunder in
electing a governor and have really
elected a man to that office.
MAKING THE UTE 3 USEFUL.
Commissioner Leupp of the Indian
department proposes to put those Ute
Indians to work w-ho were on the rag-
ged edge of the warpath a few weeks
ago on the ground that they could
not get enough to eat. Leupp pro-
poses to put the bucks to work on the
Santa Fe railway for the winter send-
ing the women and children into Ari-
zona until spring when the men can
join them. The railroad needs hands
will pay $1.30 a day and find housing
for the laborers. Leupp has certainly
looped the Indian loop this time and
if he can put those bucks to earning
their grub and blankets he will have
deserved well of the universal Ameri-
can nation. Negroes and Chinamen
and Japs and Sweeds and Norwegians
and Germans and Irish and English
and Scotch and Americans and Canad-
ians and Cadjens and all the rest
work Mr. Lo alone expected. It would
be the new thing under the sun and
the eternally fittest thing as well to
put these lazy sons ot the shoot and
the scoot Into Industrial harness and
compel them to wash off their uncivil-
ized paint in the sweat of their noble
brows. Leupp has the courage of his
own if nothing more and
to him should be everlastingly ascribed
the inspirational movement that con-
templates an Injun at work. Yet why
not? Should all things work for him
anc he alone be permitted to cumber
the ground and live on the fat of other
men’s earnings. The wonder of It is
that the government did not set these
sons of the saddle to work moons ago
and the bill for making good Indians
mitht have been materially reduced.
As It is only the inception of a work-
ing Indian is In sight. When the w-ork-
ing Indian himself is in evidence then
call the honor roll with Leupp at the
head and build him a mounment more
enduring than this experiment of a
working Indian is likely to be.
A sea wall to protect Fort San Ja-
cinto at Galveston is now mooted
and congress will be asked to put up
for its construction. It will cost ap-
proximately a million dollars. There
should be no unwise economy In con-
sidering this proposition. The city
has built its sea wall for self-protec-
tion and this farther work is neces-
sary If the national defences there
are to be as well protected as the city.
More danger there of water than of
war.
Warrant issues for the arrest of the
Scotch engineer of the wrecked train
near Abroath in which 20 were killed.
Uncle Sam has already jailed the
whole train crew of that deadhead
freight running into Washington by
which half a hundred were killed.
United States is having a marked in-
fluence on the conduct of affairs in
darkest Africa and this without any
particular maneuvering for position
on her part. She Is in the lead of the
great world forces and even the bar-
barians are finding it out.
Municipal ownership in Great Brit-
ain is not the unmixed good that it
has been held held up to be by those
who are hungering and thirsting for
public ownership In this country. On
the contrary such ownership is al-
most an unmlxed evil and the munic-
ipalities which have gone deepest In-
to the scheme have suffered most In
their pockets and their profits and
their reputations. AU suggestions that
lead to a following of foreign fash-
ions are not healthy.

St. Petersburg Jau. 2. —Acting on
information furnished by a traitor the
police during the last few days cap-
tured more than a hundred leaders
and members of the St. Petersburg
military organization of the social
democrats who are conducting a pro-
paganda in the army and navy.
Among those taken was the editor
of a secretly published paper entitled
“The Barracks" twenty-five soldiers
and several women.
The police have arrested many
members of an important group of ter-
roristic revolutionists and captured
according to report a list of twenty-
seven high officials who had been
sentenced to death. Finally it is as-
serted that the police accidentally ob-
tained information which frustrated a
plot to blow up a number of persons
at a conference which was to be held
