WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 29, 1888.

The Dallas Merctny, a bright
and gossipy Sunday paper, is
to be enlarged and next week
will appear in an entire new
dress
The remains of Gov. Pease
arrived at Austin Monday after-
noon and were burried from the
Episcopal church at 4 p. m.
Tuesday.
Gen. Stone, who came into
notice during the Egyptian cam-
paign of 1882 as Stone Pasha,
and who resigned and returned
to this country, is now chief en-
gineer of the proposed Hindo
Ship canal.
■11 1 i
Evans, United States attor-
ney, spoken of as likely to suc-
ceed Morrill as United States
judge, is not personally popu-
lar in Austin, but is said to pos-
sess unquestioned ability as a
lawyer and jurist.
The parade of Knights
Templar took place in San
Francisco on the 20th
of August and there
were in line, by actual
count, 3,680 Knights, represent-
ing 366 coinmanderies in 46
states and territories.
Governor Ireland rtcom-
mends that counties issuing
bonds for the building of court
houses and jails, not to let them
bear over seven per cent inter-
est. At this rate and perhaps
less the state wi1! take all bonds
regularly issued at par.
The projected Florida ship
canal is undoubtedly one of the
grandest projects now before
the country. Its construction
would save steamships from
New Orleans to New York 500
miles. The chid stumbling
block in the way of the canal is
its cost which is estimated at
$50,000,000.
The total railway mileage ot
the United States in 1858 was
only 25,968 miles. At the close
of 1882 it had increased to 114,
000 miles. Traveling at a uni
form rate 0^0 miles an hour
without any stoppages it would
require a fraction over 117 days
travel to go over the railways of
this countrj-.
Wall, the colored ex congress
man from Florida, has made
$8000 clear money from his
vegetable crop this year; this ex
ample and thrift might be profit
ably followed by the many col
ored politicians throughout the
south. The colered local politi
cians hardly make a living out of
their profession.
Chauncky N. Depew of New
York thinks Mr. Blaine will be
the next president. It will be
observed that all these New
York seers foretell the choice
01 an Fastern u '.n. They do
not seem to realize or be able
to learn that the will name the
men for the two parties in the
next canvass. We could, how
ever, wish nothing more fovor
able for the Democracy than
the nomination of Mr. Blaine by
the Republicans.
The Hon. Edward Pierre
pont, of New York, who has
just spent some time in Salt
Lake City, is reported as say-
ing that he believes the consti-
tutional amendment against
Mormonism will only be sue-
cussful when the measure shall
have been enforced that Mor-
monism shall be blotted out
It is also reported that Presid-
ent Arthur is convinced that
the country is on the eve of a
final struggle with Mormonism.
Ed. Stokes, who has the re-
pututation of owning the finest
saloon in the country, outside,
of Galveston, offers to bet big
money that Western Union tel-
egraph stock will be selling as
low as fifty cents within the
next months. Mr. Stokes
thinks the Gould monopoly will
have an effective rival when
Uncle Sam takes the wires in
his hands, but this is not the
reason he gives for the prospec-
tive decline in Western Union
stocks.
Judge Cooley, of Michigan,
contributes to the North Amer-
ican Review for September, an
exhaustive article upon the
"State Regulation of Corporate
Rights." The author is admit-
ted to be one of the most
learned of constitutional law-
yers, and the importance of the
subject renders the contribution
a most interesting one. .
Judge Cooley concludes that
railways are in a manner public
corporations and that the state
has the right to regulate their
charges and operations unless
an express stipulation is made
in the charters. The railway
companies no longer deny this
right which has been established
by the decisions of many courts
of last resort. What the rail-
way companies do claim, how
ever, is that this power should
not be cxercised arbitrarily and
for political purposes.
The St. Louis Railway Reg-
ister, a paper published in the
interest of the railways, says,
and truly, that competition has
reduced charges upon nearly,
if not quite, all railways, and
there is no call for interference.
The matter is so involved in
difficulties that only those who
have studied the subject for a
long time are able to decide
what are proper rates. Then,
too, there are other difficult
questions, made necessary for
determination by influences of
outside competition, and the
duty of developing sections at
different distances from market.
The railways claim that if a
supervising authority is to be
exerched at all, it must come
from a board of Railway Com-
missioners, who ought to be ex-
perts, and not from the legisla-
ture.
This is a railway view of the
matter and it seemingly bears
on its face all the elements of
fairness. The railway business
is very intricate, a large amount
of capital is necessary to their
construction and operation, and
it is not to be expected that
railroads will be built and main-*
tained solely lor the benefit of
the public. The owners of the
roads and the general public
should be mutually benefitted
and to accomplish this without
wronging either is the problem
that has been the stumbling
block in the way of railway leg-
islation. Where there is direct
and strong competition between
two or more lines of railway the
tariffs are reduced to the lowest
possible margin and sometimes
the roads are operated at a di-
rect loss to their owners. It
would seem that only where
there is no competition is any
legislation necessary.
Judge Cooley declares that
the true policy of the state is to
give full protection to corpo-
rate property and at the same
time to insist upon a faithful
performance of corporate du-
ties. He says that a fixed code
and an unbending tariff of rates
cannot be prescribed. He says:
"Rates must yield and accom-
modate themselves to innumer-
able circumstances and contin-
gencies, expected and unexpec-
ted, and they must be met and
provided for by the governing
power as they arise. No other
known business requires larger
technical skill, greater ability
or wider experience than rail-
roading. Railroad competition
is an earnest strife, if not a war-
fare, and experience herttofore
has shown that all that can be
done by common arrangements
and understandings is simply
to prtvent the strife from be-
coming mutually destructive."

Ex Governor E. M. Pease
died on Sunday evening at 7:30
o'clock at Lampasas. His re-
mains were taken to Austin for
interment. The Galveston
News gives a brief biographica
sketch, from which we glean
he follovvin g: Elisha M. Pease
was born in 1812 in Connecicu
where he grew up and was edu-
cated. He came to Texas in
1835. locating at Bastrop. In
1837 he removed to Brazoria
where he engaged in the prac
tice of the law. In 1853 he was
elected governor of the state
and again 1855. Up to the
war Mr. Pease was a leading
democrat; he was a union man,
but alter the war he changed
his politics. The News says,
"He served Texas faithfully in
all the offices she bestowed up-
on him, and his memory will
be cherished as that of one
among the purest patriot of the
country when the political fault
imputed to his lhter career shall
have been forgotten. No one
ever suspected the purity of his
motives, the sincerity of his
convictions, or the frankness
with which he expressed them."
Ohio it seems can beat the
