W
lark and Cranfill meet on the railroad
estion. Both oppose a commission.
It is said that Attorney-General Hogg i-
opposed to a railroad commission. He it
not opposed to railroad regulation, how
ever but wants to regulate them himself.
When Senator Coke was asked by &
newspaper interviewer what he thought
of George Clark's criticisms of Cleveland,
he replied with a burst of immoderate
laughter.
Victor M. Rose, editor of the Old Capi
tal, of Columbia, announces that be wil
soon move bis paper to Dallas. He wilt
there have a field to operate in commen-
surate with his ability.
"Those heavy shippers" George Clark,
Congressman Crain, Judge Walts and
Bill Sterrett are satisfied with the present
freight rates. Oiher people—such as
farmers, merchants, neannfacturere and
consumers generally—ought therefore to
be willing to grin and bear it.
The prediction is freely made in the
press and by public men that the commit-. ,
tee appointed to investigate Corporal Tan-1/« certain efforts to remedy these things,

ban is charged another shipper or anoth-
er locality in Texas for a similar service.
The remedy in suce cases is plain enough
tod the couits and juries, as now provid-
ed, are quite adequate for the protection
>( the citizen.*
But when the railway companies raise
the rates of freight on all shippers and be-
ween all localities in Texas, then where
is the remedy in court? What law of
Texas forbids this being done and what
power have the courts, as now constituted
or as they would be organized under
Judge Clark's theory, to prevent this or
to afford a remedy to the citizen?
Here iB the real issue. And this issue
is, it seems to us, ingeniously evaded in
all Judge Clark's learned discussion about
extortion and discrimination. The dis-
crimination complained of by the people
it Texas and for which they would pro-
vide a proper remedy is the raising of the
local rates of freight in Texas to an
amount two or three times as high as
hose paid for like service in other states
similarly situated. There can be no rem-
edy in courts for this wholesale extortion
upon the people of the whole state, and
•Judge Clark whoUy fails to meet the is-
sue. He ntither mentions the existence
of this state of things nor offers a remedy.
He goes off into an ingenious and able
discussion of pure legal _will-o'-the-wisps,
and the unthinking are thus lead away
from' the vital question involved. He
charged that the Dallas Freight Rate Con-
vention "indulged chiefly in generalities,
Jjut while that convention declared ii
plain language that local rates in Texas
•are too high, and appointed a committee
representing all sections of the State to

junly with a copy of the Houston

! propriety that prevent-
ed the unfortunate man from being
caught dead with the News on bis person
is entitled to special notice," the conclu
sion is inevitable that there are Texas ed-
itors who write with pens dipped in gall.
Clark says bis interview whicb appear-
ed in the Dallas News, right after the
Freight Rate Convention adjourned, was
intended merely to "evoke discussion."
That ia too thin. It waa no impromptu
effusion, but a well matured and carefully
piepared argument and Was evidently pre-
pared under the auspices of the railroad
people to counteract the effect of the con-
vention. The suggestions thrown ia at
the end of the interview about the Demo
cratic campaign of 1888 and Cleveland
being a "demagogue and a charliion,'
were mere "dett urs" as railroad engineers
would say, to give the interview tin ap-
pearance of a rundown, hap hazzard ex
pression of opinion.
Senator Piatt of Connecticut, Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Territories,

^Cresting discussion is now going
j^lation to railroad legislation. Hon
urge Clark, Judge Sawnie Robertson,
|tors Coke and Iieagan, Congressmen
Crain, Hare, Stewart and Lan
. Governor Throckmorton, Hon.
Joe Bailey, Judge Watts and others have
expressed their views in published letters,
interviews, etc. All of those named, ex-
cepting Clark, Crain and favor a
Railway Commission for Texas. Judge
Clark takes high ground against all the
proposed legislation and particularly
against the commission idea.
His engagements as general attorney
for a great trunk line of railway in Texas,
though perfectly proper and legitimate,
seems to have quickened his sensibilities
and fears of legislative injustice to the
railways, while on the other hand there is
no denying the fact that the "woods are
lull" of demagogues and communisto who
would not stop short of the complete con-
fiscation of corporate investments.
It is the mission of conservatism to view
the situation dispassionately and to per-
form the function of a balance wheel be-
tween these two extremes. Judge Clark
started out by saying that the railway
commission idea, "like prohibition, is un
Demociatic and anti-Republican." Now,
he argues that it is a pure outgrowth of
R> publicanism. He at first made an argu
ment to show that railways are private
property and not a lbject to governmental
regulation, but at least concedes "the sov-
ereignty of the people and the right to
• cintrol their own creatures."
He says "we must finally get to the
C urti in order to reach a settlement, and
, w« hart hotter no there at once under a
properly devised system of procedure,
with the right of appeal and the power to
invoke remedial writs of equity in case
the law, in any particular, instance proves
inadequate," and that "if the present
courts are not adequate for relief, create
another and vest it with proper jurisdic-
tion—or a d< zen others, if necessary." If
tliis new machinery was intended to deal
with the present causes of complaint i
would be simply a judici.l commission, or
rather a commission to pass upon judicial
questions affecting railway traffic But
he says again that "any real lawyer can
draw a statute covering less than five
printed pages which will speedily settle
the railroad question in the public inter-
est and for the full protection of the citi-
zen against all extortion and discrimina-
tion. "
Thus it appears that Judge Clark is Lot
aware of the existence of any evils in the
railway traflic of the country rxcept "ex-
tortion and discrimination." These are
already suffic.ently defined and punished
under our statute and no more statutes or
courts are required to afford the citizen
ample protection against them. As de-
fined by the present law and as they
would be defined in Judge Clark's statute
of "less than five printed pages'* they are
simply charging or extorting from one
shipper or one locality in Texas more
unable to find out the
particulars of any single grievance" from
reading its proceedings, and has since that
time filled some eight or ten columns of
the Dallas News with the purest abstrac-
tions . Instead of being a master of the
subject andquaUi'id to lead the people
out "| -la
oifthe threshhold and ia -going over the
same grounds that were traversed in the
legislative debates last winter.
The people who "pay the freights" out
of their earnings have ceased to regard
:he matter as an abstraction—they realize
the unjust burden imposed upon them by
excessive local rates of freight, and they
that local enterprise and industry
must be stifled and ruined if a remedy
not applied. The resources of Texas are
sufficient in amount and variety to fur
nish her people with almost every com-
fort and convenience, and unless people
in one portion of Texas are allowed ' to
exchange products with people in other
portions of the State—which high local
freight rates now forbid—the grain will
continue to rot in our graineries while
East Texas and southwest Texas buy
Kansas corn; the mineral resources of
Llano. New Birmingham, Rusk and Jef
ferson will continue to sleep in the bow
els of the earth, while Pennsylvania and
Ohio sell us plows, pig iron, water pipe
and other products of iron ore; and Texas
will contiaoe to buy her clothing from
New England factories, and pay freight:
on Texas cotton and wool to the factory
and on the manufactured,goods returned
to us.
These things will continue to go on and
no amount of rhetorical spider webbs
sugar coaled sophistry can hide them
from view or eliminate them from the dis
cossion. The people of Texas have
right to trade with each other. It is
right as high and as sacred as any proper
ly light in railroads. T'le question is,
can local rates be rerfu;ed, and how? hav
ing due regard to the protection of rail
way investments and the fair earr.i jgs
which invested capitol is entitled.
Dr. James Thotington, pliy.-ician and

vorable results, and a series of expert

Take some light domestic and make a
bag holding about one gallon, leaving a
slit in the bag to introduce the poison
easily. Tie two of these bags, filled with
arsenic, London purple or Paris green,
one to each end of a stick long enough to
reach from row to row. Mount a boy or
man on a mule (a mule preferable ow
ing to his thick hide) with a stick and
bags. The trot of the mule will agitate
the poison sufficiently to dust the cotton.
Care should be taken to protect the am
mal with a cloth thrown over him. The
rider should have a cloth tied below his
eyes to protect hia mouth and nostrils
from the poison. The rider and animal
must be bathed thoroughly twice a day,
the rider changing his clothing at noon
and night. These simple rules being ob
served, no ill effects need result from the
poison to either man or beast. Use three
pounds of arsenic, or two pounds of
Paris green or two pounds London purple
to the acre.

A Fishing Frolic. *
To the Journal.
Coperas Cove, August 13.—A party-
consisting of J. M, Clements, R. T. Elli-
ott, A. G. McAdams, J. S. Clements, M.
A. Crawford aDd families, went fishing
list week on the Lampasas. They were
joined at the liver by Mrs. H. A. Arnold,
Mrs. A. F. Hicks and Miss Lizzie Hicks,
Jlrs. Kibbie Fracker of Bel-on, Mr, Owen
Elliott of Troy, Mrs. Childs of Pottsbor-
ugh, and Q. M. Sharp of McCullough
County.
Every preparation being made before
hand to provide for the comfort and sue
cess of the party, they went to a place
tbout half mile north of the town of Oka)
la, where Rocky Creek empties its crystal
waters in the Lampasas River. It is a
place remaikable for its wild beauty, in
fact it is a panarama where nature has so
indestructably traced the lines of her
beauty that until man marks it wiih deso-
lation and ruin, no eye can look upon it
without exciting emotions of rapture.
To say we hud a jolly time would only
be a feeble expression of the pleasure seen
by the entire party. Fish were no object
We caught them to our full satisfaction.
The young men of the party began to
look very despondent when the older la-
dies began to talk about going home
fhty had been so busily engaged talking
to and promenading with their gills thai
lime passed unheeded. They did not
realize that we had ttien been there three
(lave.
Every thi;ig contributed to make the af-
fair a success, and the event was unniarr-
ed by any incident that would make it
less enjoyable.
The nights were beautiful, and after the
party bad satisfied the demands of a
healthy appetitite, and spent a few hours
in p:easaut conversation, the song of the
mocking-bird, the far off murmer of wa
ters, the sigh of the evening breeze as i
floated up from off the placid waters of
tac Lampasas, beguiled us into a refresh-
ing sleep that prepared us for the plsas
ures of another day. Yet the time came
(as it always will come) for us to leave
the scene of our enjoyment All seemed
