Is tho latont flaw which causes tho rails to snap and

skill in American' stool workers or to" cdrolefisncas and

The question is a vital one to Americans In whom tho"
'travel habit" is more strongly dovolopod than In any
other people. Tho readiest way to get it answered would
bo to reduce tho tariff of $7 a ton on stool rails io a point
ht which foreign Iron masters may compote for saos to
American roads.
The monopoly which enables a trust to boat down all
competition at home'puts a premium upon bad Work in
steel making as it docs; in all other industry. To break
tho monopoly would do more to abolish bad work than
can be accomplished by all tho pleadings of tho rail
road men who are going to tnko up the matter of bad rails
with tho stool men.
If this cannot bo done both wilsl ffuorfoc rwh O7890
If this con not bo done both will suffer for when.dcaUi
is known to lurk In tho rail Americans aro certain to loso
much of tho travol habit which makes business for' both.

THE; TELEGRAM AND DEMAGOGUES.
V' J '
Replyf6'g( to what this paper said about tho right of poor
men to'asplro to office tho Fort Worth Telegram attempts
to mako a point as follows:
Tho suggestions of the Abilene paper aro. too
much In lino with those of tho blatant demagogue '
A who would at all times mako it appear that tho
poor man' had no chance or opportunity in this
country. Abraham Lincoln was a poor man and
yet ho was made President of tho United States.
James S. Hogg was a poor man and yet he
served Iho people as governor of this stato car-
rying his poverty through hl3 entire official term
and finally having to Borrow money to get out of
Austin.
Tho Interests of tho state of Texas are vastly more va-
ried than when tho present constitution was adopted and
60 days is no longer time enough for a biennial legislature
to"'attenato them as ono will seo' with a second glance
' 'The' reference to Abraham. Lincoln and Jas. S. Hogg
would load ono to believe that ttioy served without remu-
aoration yet thoy did not do so. '.The salary of Presi-
dent Lincoln was ns big for that day as four times that
amount is now. Gov. Hogg' did not suffer from tho pangs
of poverty on the present salary but tho expanse of se-
curing tho nomination is what counts in a. governor's
case. We said and still say that a man without moans
can not afford to servo in the legislature of Texas at tho
present remuneration and that mean? tnac poor.
men can
not afford to serve the low salary tending to 'crowd them
out If they could be paid flvo dollars per day for tho
time they are kept at tho state capital that would enable
them to get-through without Iohs but as it is the poor
man who would serve tho state in the capacity of legis-
lator pauses boforo offering for the place.
J 'J " rtThe reference of tho Telegram to the "blatant domo-
'goguo"is the usual dodgo of Bomo. when they have no
argumentto mako use otfn a discussion. ' .

WESTWARD THE" COURSE OF EMPIRE.
Tho Wosl is surely if' slowly taking 'its rightful place
in the financial transactions and tho commercial affairs
of the nation. Wo quote from a recent issue of the El
Paso Herald: '
Apropos to what John W. Gatea said .about tho
Dnacial center shifting westward it Is worth not-
. ing that last month the total bank clearings of
New York city showed a decrcaso of 10 per cent.
as compared witn tno same montn last year
white at the same time the clearings for the
United States outside of Now York city showed
nn increns of 14 per cent over Inst year. t .
An even more striking contrast Is found in tho
figures of western cities; Chicago's clearing in-
creased IB per cent over last year Kansas City
fiMper cent Omoha20" per cent St. Paul 23 per
cent Galveston 20 per cont Pittsburg 13 por
-' " cent St. Louis 9 per cont.
t The figures' certainly indicate no decrease in .
business; transactions Tho drop 'In Now York-
city reflects the suddpn cessation qfVspecnlatlvc
trading 'following the'March slump 'Legltimhto
business went'' on Just tho samo throughout the
country and. tho- wostorn.cltles particularly
Bho'wed unprecedented activity In-all legitimate
undertakings. m
"Wo rerorred a few weeks itgo "to the fact that Texas is
- nbwjpanlng money to Now YorkvantUt no. disaster over-
takes tho commonwealth wo will increaso this balance
on Uio right side of tho lodgor'from.year to year unless

' DEATH ATUD TnE FAULTY RAIL.
Prom tho St. Louis Republic.
If tho steel trust is not responsible for tho defectivo
Tails which have added a new danger to fast railroad
travel In tho United States it is hoped that the American
Railway Association will shortly find out who is.
It is more .than llkbly that tho defect in tho steel rails
-. turned out "by American mills baa long; existed and that
it lias been'djBcoyqred only through the Btraih put' upon
the rails by tho heavy arid fast-moving passenger trains

'' !iMWJiN 'the rule for more than a generation; and
yet ia tttta ewtatry the operating officials of somo of our
Tho Ozona Kicker hns a kick and proceeds to -make It'
In a recent Issue we find the following:
Governor Campbell has vetoed tho scalp bounty
bill which was one of tho few altogether wise
and helpful measures passed by the legislature
We do not consider that the Governor toted fair
with us In tho matter. This is tho only Uttle
piece of favorable legislation that tho West' has
cried for and instead of bread this man (fn whom
wo have been so sadly deceived) has given us a
stone. If he had been disposed to give us n
square deal ho would havo sent in his obviously
predetermined veto before the adjournment of
the regular session in order that our representa-
tives might not have been left absolutely without
recourse. So far as tho stockmen are concerned
they deserve no sympathy and will get none.
With a very few notable exceptions they did not
lift a finger or move a pen to Influence favorable
action by tho chief executive although Senator
Hudspeth earnestly urged them and the press
kept constantly before them the need of strong
and timely help. Their apathy Is rewarded.
The Kicker has the worst grievance against tho homo
folks for they at least should have attended to their
own business. The governor was attending to his as
he understood it trying to avoid another deficit in tho
treasury while he Is in the office of chief executive. Tho
West must learn that It must take care of Itself. For that
matter every community should do that an3 ir it neglects.
it no ono olso will 't tho work. Every community has
mado this mistake and repented when too Into.

One W. A. Cocke threatens to write a book ou tho
offenses of the junior senator of this state. If his alle-
gations arc as wild as the charges he formulated against
tho gentlemen in the legislative investigation they will be
sensational to say tho least.
Before tho people of the interior break their backs lift-
ing for the improvement of Texas waterways they had
better investigate the effect that would havo upon their
commerce

Everyone should take a tonic in the Spring ; t their systems require it. The blood has
become thick and sluggish with the accumulations left in the system from breathing the
impure air of closed rooms and overlieated buildings; the heavv rich foods of the Winter
season etc. and when this vital fluid is aroused and stirred to quicker action by the return-
ef warmer weather these waste matters and poisons are distributed through the circulation
to act depressingly and injuriously on the system. The blood being in this unnatural atid
impure condition is unable to furnish the body with the proper amount of "nourishment and
strength and the system suffers from debility weakness nervousness indigestion ftosK-ef
appetite and many other unpleasant symptoms of a disordered blood circulation.
v The depleted system must have assistance; it needs a tonic and it is important that th.
proper one be selected. When the health is ill this disordered condition it is not safe.tc
