The railroad question bids fair to be the only live issue in the oomiDg state election, and it would seem that dis-cussion of the question is in order. Railroad attorneys are always in the field, and their specious and insinuat-ing pleadings may be seen in publish-ed interviews, and double headed newspaper articles, and heard in pub-lie speeches on every hand. The peo-pie who have opened these great high-ways of traffic and travel, and who have generously paid of their sub-stance, in bonuses, land grants and rights-of-way to their agents, the rail-road companies, double, and even quadruple in some insti nces, the cost of constructing and placing in run-ning order of these state highways, seem to have very few friends in their efforts to control their agents, that the people’s transportation business shall be carried on fairly, justly and equi-tably to all parties concerned. The people are the owners of these highways and are justly proud of them, proud or their achievements in the way of opening up such vast sections of this magnificent state to commerce, travel, argriculture and manufactures. They are also proud of their agents, the railroad companies—proud of their energy and skill in conducting the people’s business, and more than will-ing to pay them fair compensation in the shape of tolls for all their services. But when these agents transcend the authority given them by the peo-pie, and undertake to establish pools and combines for the purpose of push-ing up rates and preventing fair com-petition, when they build up monopo-lies and tear down the equality of in-dividual interest, or when they under-take to destroy the commercial inter-ests of one town to build up another, when by discrimination in rates, by rebates and other fraudulent devices competition is destroyed, and one citi-zen’s, corporation’s or company’s husi-ness prospered, while another’s is bankruped, then the people know that their agents are false to the trust re-posed in them; that they, the people, are being willfully, grossly and out-rageously wronged, and they Bimply require such legal enactments as shall effectually right such wrongs. This was the bread which they demanded of the last legislature, and in lieu of which they received the poo::, paltry, worthless stone of a constitu-tional amendment, which, when adopt-ed by the people, will simply say to wonderfully brainy man who conceived and brought forth he mosirous abor-tion, that a railroad is a railroad, and wrongs and frauds committed by rail-road companies may bo provided against by legislative enactment. The enormity of brain power to con- j ceive and bring forth such an over-whelmning proposition to be made a part of the organic law of the great state of Texas is something wonder-ful to contemplate. , The imbecility of the thing would doubtless be the means of its defeat, were it not that the railroad oompa-nies and their attorneys in and out of the legislature would forthwith as-sume that the people were opposed to railroad legislation of any sort; and one of our announced candidates for the legislature with his little bill for the imprisonment of railroad officials and stopping all proceedings With the judgment of one court—of which there might be grave constitutional ques-tions— woilld find himself fearfully handicapped by the cry of “no legisla-tion wanted.” The people should remember that many weary years have witnessed the fruitless endeavor to deal, by the or-dinary course of legislative action, with the wrongs enumerated above. The failure of scoi action is precisely what makes the issue; and yet at least two announced candidates for the legisla-ture propose to carry on the failure, and upon that line will no doubt be supported by the railroad companies, for it is a significant fact that railroad companies, attorneys, whistlers, blow-ers, strikers, free-passers and adver-tisers, are all in deadly hostility to a commission. They are hostile to in-terstate commerce laws, hostile to trust and pool and combine laws, and in fact, hostile to any law which would effectually bar the companies Irom the commission of the wrongs refer-red to. “The commission is given too much power,” cries out the railroad compa-nies, and every attorney, blower and striker takes up the song and howls in chorus “too much power.’’ Yes, gentlemen, the shoe pinches right where it was intended to pinch. The bill was well and carefully drawn, and would undoubtedly heve stood the test of the supreme court; and if hon-estly administered, as the writer be-l'eves it would have been, the power delegated would have been too much for monopoly, too much for pools, too much for unjust charges, dis-criminations, rebates and otheT frauds, but none too much for the interests of the people in the suppression of the evils complained of. Notwithstanding the intimations to the contrary the writer believes there are many hundreds of good and true men in Texas, who not only have the ability to fill the place of commission-er under the bill, but whose hose hon-or is unpurchasable and who can be neither cajoled nor bulldozed into do-ing an act which is contrary to good conscience. For instance, the writer believes that Judge Gerald would have made a most excellent presiding officer of the commission and none would fear during his occupancy but that the law Would have been faithful-ly carried out. The statement that the commission would have been filled with broken down politicians, party hacks or other political riff-raffs is unworthy of notice except to say that it is a slur upon the democratic party of the state and a gratuitous insult to the honor and in-tegrity of the appointing power under the bill. We charge that legislative, judicial and executive powers are dangerously united in a commission, is a frightful looking hobgoblin that has already done duty in a dozen different states where commissions have been estab-lished, and when Texas began to wres-tie with the question President Brown dug the poor old skeleton out of the debris around the Georgia State Cap-ital, dressed up the odorous thing and carried it to Austin to assist him in overawing the Texas law makers. He succeeded, but the writer is proud to note that a solid phalanx of tha more direct representatives of the people sturdily refused, to be either scared by rotten skeletons or overawed by great railroad presidents. Ghosts that have been laid by a dozen different states and buried by as many supreme court decisions are poor, scrawny, contemp-tible things for men to be scared at, but the Texas senate seemed to be-come suddenly groggy and weak-kneed when President Brown appeared to them with his formidable looking spectre. Let the people bury this thing by the adoption of the proposed amendment. Farmer. Constable Lee Jenkins. Voters of precinct No. 1, McLennan county, will notice in announcement column the name of Mr. Lee Jenkins as a candidate for re-election to the office of constable of precinct No. 1, subject to the action of the democratic jarty. Mr. Jenkins is well known as an efficient officer. His reputation is state wide and he is a perfect terror to criminals. Being peculiarly adapt-ed by disposition and training for de-tective work, he has made quite a rep-utation in that line. The race promis-es to be a lively one, for it is under-stood Mr. Jenkins will have several opponents. Changed Announcements. Mr. K. H. Kingsbury’s announce-ment first read subject to the demo-cratic party. It now reads subject to the primary election. The change was made at his request. Mr. Dee Cook had his changed from its original form. It at first made him a candidate at the ensuing elec-tion, but Mr. Cook wanted it distinctly understood that his candidacy was subject to the democratic party by whatever method they chose to adopt in nominating. Board of Trade meeting Wednes-day night at 8:30 o’clock. City hall. Spring hats at Mrs. B. J. Doss 400£ Austin street. State Medical Association. Special to the News.

Houston Happenings. Special to the News. Houston, April 23.—Prominent capitalists and business men of this city have a movement on foot for the establishment of a cotton mill to cost $500,000. Considerable interest is being taken in the affair and it is highly probable the enterprise will be started. One of the spans of the Sabine street bridge over Buffalo bayou wash-ed away last eyening. The Beauchamp bridge across White Oak bayou has also succumbed to the power of the waters. The water in all of the streams in the county is unusually high and the prairies are also covered. The city council met yesterday after-noon- and approved the bonds of the new officers. Cyclone at Kyle. Special to the News. Austin, April 23.—A terrific cy-clone visited Kyle, a village of some 600 inhabitants, twenty miles south of here, last night. Many houses were overturned and a few stables were de-molished and swept away. The stable of Mr. Storts was blown over and a fine cow killed. Mr. Meyers’ barn was swept away and two fine horses killed. Two rooms of Mr. W. B. Webb’s resi-deuce were blown down, but the in-mates of the house were not injured. The Kyle seminary was moved from its foundation and carried twenty feet without seriously injuring the struc-ture. It is feared great damage has been done growing corn and other crops in the track of the storm. So far as known here no persons were killed. San Antonio Siftings. Special to tho News, San Antonio, April 23.—The heav-iest rain in years fell last night and this morning. Crops of the surrounding section are now assure to be big. Perparations are now being made here for the establishment of an ex-tensive sanitarium, and the buildings and appliances will cost many thou-sand dollars. Dr. B. F.
