PUESEItVE THE IIISTOniC FIELDS
It begins to look at last as If the Daugh-
ters of tho Republic would he rewarded
for their Ions and patriotic labors by seeing
tbe battkllclil of San Jacinto txcomo an
attractive State park a consummation that
should bare bctn vtltncssid years ago for
that matter
Texas has bven shamefully neglectful In
tho premises
As declared by Senator Deall In his re-
marks upon Senator llurns bill l > the old
historic battlcflld had ben located In New
York or Pennsylvania or a dozen other
Elates that could be numed It would long
si0 hato bien transfornud Into a mag-
nificent pjbllc park Our people generally
do aot seem to have appreciated tho fact
that tho San Jacinto battleground Is al-
most sacriM ns tho real birth placa of a-
new < mplro In tho new world Its historic
significance li second to no spot In America
unless It be Lexington or Hunker IIIII To
preMno It to tho public for ages to come
should have been ono of tbe first Inspira-
tions of Texas legislation and Texas cltl
terslilp
Tbe genera govrrnment has been sotting
the States an admirable example ot late
years The grtat battlefields of tho civil
war are being preserved as public parks
and thousands ot dollars are being ex-
pended upon them Tbey are tho sacred
Ipota of vmcricin fell ihe places ot ln
iplratlon for future generations tbo sites
f noblo monuments to tho courage and
heroism of American manhood
The State owes It to Its brilliant history
to Its recofnltton of valuable ncrvlcrs anl
sppreclatlon of valor to pirehaso and
beautify and preserve all Its polrls of
historic Interest A people who Justly esti-
mate and perpctualn the memory of great
deed of tho past may confidently look for
berolc action In tho fuiuro whenever tho
occasion demands Patriotism and noblo
lentlmcnt llo upon great memories and
ro fostered by noblo testimonials To un
dervaluo the past is to discount tho future
Prom a sordid dollars and cents standpoint
a sentiment Is often
worth millions to a
jommutilty
WHERE GOOD HO DS WOULD PAY
The present Interest manifested toward
tho Texas coast riglon by citizens ot the
Northern and Northwestern Mates and
the strong probability of tho steady Influx
Of agriculturists to this section from
Ibis tlmo forward affix a now Importance
to tho county roads tjuestlon particularly
in Harris county
The people who aro coming to us from
tbe North are not familiar with cotton
raising They aro allround farmers who
have been used to diversified
crops and
they will settle hero with the purposo ot
raising a variety of products They will
bo cbiofly lmpreas d with tho soil and ell
mate becauso of tholr adaptability to all
leaps work and all sorts of crops The
coast region will especially be chosen for
tho location and development of vegetable
farms The great bulk of the now scttlcr
wlll want to make their money with early
vegetables for the
Northern markets Tho
necessity therefore of being within easy
racb at all seasons of the
year ot the
very best shipping facilities J at one ap-
parent and will becomo a great determining
Xactor in tbo cbolco of lands
Can any point la Texas romparo with
Iloustou as a shipping
point with its more
than a dozen railway llnea radiating East
North and West Will not the advantage
of bolng in easy reach of Houston at once
suggest itself to tho newcomer especially
when Houston furnishes also a great and
crowing local market for all kinds of agri-
cultural products T Naturally therefore
Harris county would have tbo call as tbo
most deslrablo county In which to locate
llut ot what good to tho Harris county
farmer would ba our market and shipping
facilities if during half tbo year ho could
not reach Houston or at least without
great cost and Inconvenience If tho county
rods leading to tbe city were understood
to bo practically Impassable for tbo groater
portion of the year what special ndrantage
would Harris county lands havo
It would bo worth untold thousands to
this county just at this tlmo to havo a
thoroughly modern and Improved county
road system leading In every direction from
Houston to the county borders The possl
S p p Ffw F
bllllles of diversified acrlcullura nd es-
p rlslly Tegetable farming would become
at oace ipparent to every pro pctor No
other county could hope to successfully bid
against us for these newcorc r Popula-
tion would toon quadruple In the county
furnishing a splendid addition to Houston
trade lands would becomo doubly valuable
and tbe cost of Improvements be more than
recovered In dew taxes
There never wis a time before la the
history of tbe city and county when gcod
reads would mean more to us or when the
question of their construction should to
promptly challcsgc attention We have al-
ready dono something In the direction in-
dicated but not balf enough Tbe work
should be pushed vigorously whenever a
dollar becomes available
DOGINTHEMANGER POLICY
What was known as tbe comprcu bill
was killed In the lower house of tbe legis-
lature Wednesday and while It Is unnec-
essary to present at this time any argu-
ment cm tbo merits of the subject tho
discussion ot tbe matter has developed
some featured that may well l called to
the attention of tbe public
Tbe most notable feature was tbe effort
of Galveston through its Cotton Exchange
to secure the tassage of the bill an ef-
fort however that seems to have been
fully understood and properly rebuked by
the bouse at Austin Tbe Galveston Cot-
ton Exchange It will be remembered went
so far as to Indorse tbo bill by formal reso
lutlon and transmit tbe record ot Its action
to the legislature to the surprlso of many
who did not fathom the motive
Why People will say that tbcro was
compress Interest there aiid It was there-
fore an apparent piece of principle on tho
part of Galveston and tho Galveston Cotton
Exchange
Sweet innocents these
Tho true Inwardness of tho Galveston
indorsement of tbe bill la found In tho fact
that the compress Interests In Houston
are so far ahead of tboso of Galveston that
tho latter have virtually dropped out of
sight Tho city of Houston has been so
rapidly taking tho cotton business from
Gait colon by Improved machinery and Im
pro ed facilities that it has become more
an object of clny and dlstruvt by Galves-
ton than ever before In seeking to place
small burdens and regulations upon Its
own business Gaheston well knew It
would be seriously embarrassing Houston
Tho compress bill wouli havo lightly af-
fected Gaheston It would greatly havo
affected Houston
Doglnthomangcr like therefore Gal-
veston rushed to tho support of the bill
It wanted tho waters muddled In hope of
getting something In the confusion
Houston ts taking tho greater portion of
Galvestons old time colton business for a-
very simple reason this city provides a
larger amount of accommodation fe hand-
ling cotton greater power ot compression
and more economical methods of handllne
giving the farmer better service and more
money for his product This statement Is
absolutely susceptible of proof anl Galves-
ton colton men do not In orhato deny it
In line with this Galveston light against
Houston and backing up Its Cotton Ex-
change tho Gaheston News took a hand
after Its usual methods A feature of tho
support of this bill was a systematic at
tempt to create the impression tint the hill
Imolved a fight alono between Houston
and tho Interior compresses This Idea
was Industriously promulgated by tbe
Gaheston News through its Austin corre
spondence Tor instance tho News cor-
respondent said In yesterdays Issue
The proposition to crtenl llm Jurlsdo
Ion of th it 1 ririeh of governmont has
wen popular the contention bang th t
tpo eommimon had the right to tnuko
miew rt hen tho right to regulxto eooi
preasagu and other maUera relatpg to
i n a o that th bill vtouM hvvo
prevented certain lines from iltacrlmlnit
ins against tho llerlor for Iloiiiion and
Placing fat pcrqulrfjtca in her conors ut
the expense of country eompr < va
Tho small Jealousy and hostility of tho
News toward Houston caused it In this
caso to overstep tho bounds of fact and In
dulge in a campaign of spite anl prejudice
against this city with which It hoped to In
fluence legislators
It ts well that tho general public should
know tho real sourco of thaikews and
Gaheston Cotton Exchanges concern in
this matter It Is well that leslslatora and
others should understsnd the Intonse and
blind Jealousy and persistent hostility of
Galveston and tho Galveston News to tho
commercial Interests and rapid commercial
expansion of Houston
What advantage Houston enjoys now In
handling cotton are legitimate advantages
secured by enterprise farsightedness lib-
erality and tho Investment of great capital
and It would bo an oulrago to deprive her
of such advantages by legislation in the In-
terest ot disappointed rivals
An open field and a fair tight Is all that
Houston asks
Mr McKlnlcy Is said to bfi nlrmdy
showTtig the care and wedtr and tear of
oftlce That will never do he has hardly
commenced the fight as yet The country
has Just cxperlenco a bitter dlsappont
ineivt from the want of wind of o Na-
poleon ond could Illy utand another col

It Is very irencrally conceded that Mrs
rilxMmmons 1uidcd a lerrlblet blow upon

It Is to the Interest of the dctnocrnIC

Umt Senator Gorman should be perma-
nently rwtlreJ kUvcmon News
Mr Gorman refused to turn traitor to
tho democracy euid become a llannncrat
laet year and that stems to be an un-
pardonable sin In the eyes of the News
Corbett wdl be exhibited across the con
tlrent something like the old coat of the
deceased la displayed showing the hole
where the deadly mtssllo entered
It Is nstorfshlng to see how easily con-
fidence In Justice is restored The execu-
tion of Jackson and WalVsig In Kentucky
has encouraged hopo everywhere that
there Is plenty of vitality left In the blind
goddess but possibly the occurrence ot
the execution in Kentucky Is responsible
for this rosea < o view

Criticises lllni
Atlanta Ga March 21 Bishop W J
Gaines of the AfrlAn Methodist church
who was raised by the lata Robert ToombB
repudiates tho recont call of Bishop Turner
for tho negroes to arm against tho whites
In this repudiation Bishop Gaines says
I am as emphatic In my condemnation
of the law lets and Godless crime ot lynch-
ing us can possibly be but Bishop Turner
is entirely too radical Tho best element of
the while people Is opposed to lynching as
much as the negroes can be The governors
and ilea c officers of the Southern States
are doing all they can to bring about a
proper condition of affairs
Tho best remedy for our evils Is educa-
tion and Christianity Tho i rimes for which
lynching Is the punishment are committed
by the most Ignorant of our race It will
take time to idueate them
Bishop Tumers advice to tho colored
people to take up guns is simply sulcldil
Wo aie the weaker race and In such a
conflict would be tho sufferers We havo
a common future and the biRt Interests of
tho while and colored rices inn parallel
We must not permit ourselves to run luto
cxlravagnnces such as Bishop 1urnr Is
expressing
