But in so doing we are selling proportionately more goods. It is a question with some whether it pays to sell goods on a verv small profit or to ask more and sell less.
We have adopted the modern business principle—keep everything moving, earry nothing over from one season to another, selling and receiving continuously, and thereby
enabling our immense trade to get the benefit of the latest styles. No house can approach us in stvle and prices on the following:

that is not in the least affected by
prejudice and is out of reach of
state politics.
We shall watch it with great
interest.
IT HAS COME.
The Farmers' Loan and Trust
company of New York has filed
suits agaiust five Texas railroads,
and against the Texas railroad
commission and the attorney gen
eral. These suits were filed in the
United 8tates court at Austiu.
The complaint sets up the fact
that rates have not been fixed by
the commission in accordance
with the commission law. It
claims that rates have been re-
duced until the roads cannot pay
their obligations. It asserts that
some of the acts of the commission
violates the interstate commerce
act, and also violates section 15,
article 1, of the constitution.
The International and Great
Northern is one of the roads sued.
Also the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe and injunctions are
asked to restraiu these roads
from obeying the commission
rates.
The Texss and Pacific, the St
Louis and Southwestern and the
Tyler and Southwestern are in
volved in it.
The trust companies are trus-
tees for the bondholders of the
road.
Whether these suits are brought
for political effect, or whether a
desperate struggle is to be made
to break the despotic power
which the legislature gave to the
commission, we oannot tell. It
looks very much like it meant
war to the knife, from the array
of counsel In the cases. West
and McGowen of Austin, Farrar,
Jones & Kruttschnitt of New
Orleans, Turner, McClure & Ral-
ston of New York, John F.Dillon,
H. B. Turner, John J. MoCook, E.
B. Kruttschnitt and Alexander
Green of New York are all em
ployed on ths cases.
Such absolute power over prop-
erty has never been bestowed on
any body of men as our legisla
tore gave the commission, and it
has all the while been asserted
that the courts would undo their
work whenever it cut down the
earnings of the roads so they
could not meet their obligations.
This suit may be only a rus6*of
Gould or somebody else to get
bold of some road, but it looks
like a death struggle between the
men who own the bonds and the
commission. It goes to a court
for sidings and which for the main
track.
OUR PROSPERITY.
If the farmers have $275,000 on
deposit in one bank in Gainesville,
the Hesperian is glad to know
it, and only wishes it was $2,000,-
000 instead of $275,000.
We have no right to doubt the
statement and will not if it is made
by a bank.
The farmers of this country
ought to have more money than
than any other class, as they pro-
duce nearly everything that brings
any money to the conntry. A
healthy and normal state of busi-
ness ought to show a much larger
balance to their credit in the
banks than Jthey have ever yet
had. Unless our governmental af-
fairs are wofully mismanaged this
country is going to build up very
fast in the next few years. We
have one of the richest countries
in America and we ought to be
the most prosperous people.
We will not be unjust enough
to lay all, or even the greater part
of the blame on our state govern-
ment, but we do say our state
policy has a tendency to hold
back the state. We need all the
oapital we can get to build rail-
roads and factories and to de-
velop the resources of the state
generally.
Any policy that does not en-
courage this is detrimental to the
state.
The state will grow some unless
our policy be one of confiscation,
and if we pursue a liberal course
Texas will show the grandest im-
provement snd progress of any
state in the union. Nothing but
her own folly will prevent this.
It is probable that Governor
Hogg's claim that he has recover-
ed over a million aeres of land
from the railroads will turn out to
be moonshine. We have not
thoroughly investigated the mat-
ter and cannot say, but men who
are in a position to know say he
has not ia reality recovered a
single acre. He got a'deeiatoa
that land granted to railroads for
sidetracks was illegal aad oould
be forfeited to the stats. But
most of this laud had been sold to
settlers and they were not parties
to the suit. Ths eoort ruled that
in making the forfeitures the state
oould onlj recover the excess,
and there seems to be no way to
determined which was granted
KEEP COOL.
In the race for governor the
Hesperian is for Judge Clark.
Many ol its readers, perhaps a
majority of them, are against him.
It has given and will continue to
give an opportunity to every one
who differs with it to express his
views through its columns. It is a
very unreliable paper that will
give news only as it suits its pur-
pose.
It is the purpose of the Hes-
perian to keep its news columns
free from partisan bias as much
as possible, or at least to give all
sides. Its opinions and editorial
expressions are its own, and it ac-
cords to others that same honesty
of purpose that it claims for it-
self.
But all the interest in life does
not center ia the contest for gov-
ernor. We will have plenty of is-
sues after Clark and Hogg are
both forgotten. Let us not (ret
excited and try not to forget that
we are all citizens of Texas and
that our interests are all in com-
mon.
Political discussion is profita-
ble if it is not allowed to degener-
ate into partisan bitterness.
Let everybody keep cool, and
the storm will blow over about
August 16.
The Houston Post has about
fallen off the fence. McDonald's
speech at Denton seems to have
converted it. It publishes a
spleadid cartoon in the oenter of
the page that contains the speech.
This eartoon has under it the
words "Turn Texas Loose." It rep-
resents Texas a beautiful maiden
tied to a stake with coils of rope
representing the alien land law,
"fight on capital" and "extreme
legislation." Governor Hogg is
drawing tha ropes tighter, while

Washington, May 2.—The anti- J
Harrison element is actively at
work to prevent state conventions
which meet this week instructing
for him. California and Connecti-
cut conventions meet tomorrow;
Illinois, Maryland, North Da-
kota and Tennessee Wednesday;
Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Minne-
sota, Virginia, West Virginia and
Wisconsin Thursday. By Friday
it will be pretty well known what
percentage of the Minneapolis
convention is actually instructed,
as this week will nearly complete
the liet of the thirty-one state
conventions already held. Accu-
rate calculations show 300 of the
642 delegates already elected in-
structed for Harrison. Fnlly two-
fifths of the conventions will be
absolutely instructed for Harrison
and a proportion may be grant-
ed. Harrisou's greatest danger
is the fact that snch strong party
leaders as Quay, Dudley, Reed,
Teller, Piatt, Alger, Foraker and
Filley are standing aloof and look-
ing about for somebody on whom
to concentrate instructed strength.
It is their influence now being
used to prevent instructions for

Charlottesville, Va., April 25.—
The anuual debaters' contest of
the Washington Literary Society
of the University of Virginia took
place in the hall of tlie society on
Saturday evening. The question
discussed was, "Resolved, That
the railroad should be owned and
run by the government." Mr.
Robert E. Cofer of Gainesville,
Tex., was the successful contest-
ant, handling the question in a
masterly manner, showing him-
self no mean orstor as well as the
best debater. The judges were
Professors J. H. Gilmore, Noah K.
Davis and M. W. Humphreys.

baters were R. Fulton Leach of
