Advertiser, There was great rejoicing among the holders of Texas railroad securi ties yesterday and in railroad circles generally; due to a decision of Judge McCormick, of the United States Court, at Dallas, Texas. By this de cision the Railroad Commissioners of Texas are practically deprived of their power to fix the passengers and freight rates so low that the rail roads cannot be -"operated save at a loss. The decision was handed down yesterday. ; ' - . The railroads claim that, owing to the unreasonable exactions of the Commission, some of the roads operating wholly: within the State were on the verge of bankruptcy, and would soon have gone to pieces had this relief not come so opportunely. One effect of the decision was demonstrated in the course of the Texas Pacific securities. There were $68,000 first mortgage 5 per cent, bonds sold at an advance of two and a halt points and $219,000 income, seconds, at an advance of tour points. But the decision of- Judge McCor mick has a significance greater than its immediate effect upon the value of Texas securities. It means that the action of all State Railroad Com missions is subject to review in the Federal Courts, and this is very grat ifying to the railroads, for they pre fer to trust their interests to the lat ter tribunals than to hold them at the mercy of the State Commissions From the point of view of the rail roads it is probably the most impor tant decision made by a Federal Judge in many years, and Is hailed by them as a protection, not only to the roads themselves, but to the holders of their securities. , In 1891 the Legislature of the State of Texas passed a bill creating a Railroad Commission, granting it full power to establish rates and pro viding heavy penalties against the railroad companies for any failure to comply with the requirements, of the Commission. By the same bit- of legislation the right was conferred upon shippers to bring actions against the railroad companies to re cover such penalties. The Commission comprises Messrs Reagan, McLean and Foster. Hardly had they received their appointments to office, it is said, when they pro ceeded to cut and slash rates. -The companies repudiated their schedules for a while, and were periodically brought up with a round turn by the Commission, which imposed upon them the heavy penalties spoken of in the law. Then the shippers got in their work.- , They brought suit to recoyer un der the penalties imposed, and it was but a short time after the crea tion of the Commission before all the roads in Texas were plunged into an ocean of litigation. The roads affected were the Gulf, Colo rado and Santa Fe, which is practi cally a branch of ;the Atchison, To- peka 'and Santa Fe, the Interna tional and Great j Northern, Texas and Pacific, " St. Louis and South western, Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio, Houston and Texas Central, Tyler Southwestern,, and the 1 opeka, Atchison and Santa Fe. The companies contend , that the rates established by the Commis sioners were so low that to conform to them business had to be done at a loss, and they so represented the case to the Commission, but could not get any relief. The railroad people say that the Farmers' Alliance influ ence dominated the Commission, and, owing to that party's bitter hatred of railroads, it was useless to expect any change of iront. All the railroad corporations af f ected are creations of the State of Texas, and Could not therefore bring an action ior renei against lae torn mission m the Federal Court But the trustees of the mortgages of the several roads were outsiders, and it was decided to make them the orators m a prayer for an injunction before the Federal Court, Accordingly. Anson T. McCook, the firm of Alex ander & Green, No. 120 Broadway. this city, who is general counsel for the 'Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, instituted the necessary pro ceedings against tne Jtiauroaa urn missioners of the State of Texas. Following is the relief prayed for in the bill filed m the united States Court, at Dallas, Texas. mat an injunction may issue out of this Court restraining the said , Reagen, McLean and Foster, and the said Charles A.

"Aunt" -Peggy Donaldson is dying at the Old Colored women s Home in Pittsburg, at the well authen ticated age of 110. Baroness' Burdette-Coutts, al though 80 years old, avows an intention to come to the World's Fair at the head of the philanthropic section. Gov. Eagle of Arkansas, who has been seriously ljl lor two montns, has crown much worse and is in a criti cal condition. He was taken to Rich mond, Ky., two weeks ago by advice ot his doctors. Gustave Dore, it Ms said, had questionable taste on women s looks. He seldom arew a Deauuiui wumau. His abnormal sense of the grotesque seemed to have destroyed his sense, ol actual loveliness. - Richard . Beverley of i Buena Vista, Va., is not one of the pampered and overpaid officials of the postoffice department. He walks thirty-six miles every day m tne year except ounuay, carrying the mail to and from Pleasant View, in Amherst county, ana geis oo a year, for the iob. Edward Blake, the brilliant Ca nadian Libera, who was regarded as a possible member of Mr. Gladstone's cab inet, declined the honor of knighthood offered by the Queen a few years ago, and has set his lace against the' intro duction of Old World ideas into the do minion. He has . a commanding pre sence, a fine voice, and the courage of his convictions. Recent French papers print eu logistic sketches of Henrv Mosler, who was lately given the decoration of the Legion of Honor in recognition of his artistic successes. Mr. Mosler is a native of Cincinnati; and began his artistic ca reer under the care of James H. Beard. He was subsequently connected with. Harper's Weekly during the war, then studied at Dusseldort, and afterward es tablished himself in Paris, where he has been a frequent exhibitor in the salon. POLITICAL POINTS. With a vigorous Democratic campaign in the hopefully debatable States in the West the Republicans cannot concentrate their efforts upon the old doubtful States, as it has been their policy to do heretofore. A diversion is as good tactics in pontics as in war, especially when it promises good results in itself. New York World, Dent. - - Governor McKinley is en route to Vermont, where he intends to make one or two speeches before proceeding down East to Maine to engage in fur ther campaign work. Is it possible that such moss-clad old Republican citadels need to be buttressed in the faith by the very pillars of the party? Can it be that Blaine and Keed are mistrusted, and that not even the maple sap bounty jean be relied upon to hold the Vermont hilltops firm on their basis? Phil. Re cord, Dem. I Signs multiply every : day that the Democratic campaign is getting un der way with, a vigor and enthusiasm quite unusual at such an early stage. The address issued the other day by several prominent German-Americans to their fellow-citizens of the same origin indicates the interest that this class is taking in the success of the Democratic ticket and the policy it represents. Yes terday the Produce and Maritime Mer chants' Cleveland and 'Stevenson Club adopted an address which will be widely circulated, dealing mainly with the tariff question and its relation to trade. The headquarters ot the Democratic state Committee have been opened a prepara tions are making for a vigorous canvass of this State with every indication of earnestness and harmony. 1V. Y. Times. Jnd. - I . : CURBENT COMMENT. It was Tom Miller, the canary colored Congressman from the 7th district, who devised the plan of hav ing his tickets a little off -color at the election in 1890. It is the Tillman ites who propose to vote a light pink ticket at the Democratic primary next Tuesday. Charleston News & Courier, JJem. - - If the foreignerpay the tariff taxes, as the more rabid and ebul lient protectionists insist, what a re lief it must has been to the foreigner wnen we made him a present of over $50,000,000 a year by remission of the sugar duties 1 And, if the duty on sugar have not enhanced . the price of the domestic product, what an ass Uncle Sam has made of him self in giving the sugar growers a bounty of $10,000,000, in lieu of their lost opportunity to pick the geueral pocket by reason of the tax on im ported sugar ! Phil. Record, Dem. - When Sam Small was leaving Atlanta the other day he advised Col. Livingston to "put a biz ausrer into the Third party' and bore until he got tired,-and let him know and he would come and bore awhile. But it seems that when the reverend weather-cock got out of the State he forgot- all about his opposition; to the Third party, and went to pre dicting the breaking up of the "solid South," and giving taffy to the "populists.' Mr. Small evidently needs some kind of a mental regula tor. Or. maybe, It is a liver regula tor he needs. Savannah News, Dem. V : PUBLIC SPEAKING. t U Hon. B. F. Grady.

He wishes the chairmenof all the county executive committees to send him lists of dissatisfied voters, so that to the latr tet there can be sent twice a week news-, papers or other good literature; The correspondence now is very-heaw, aver aging 100 letters a day. This shows that the people are becoming well stirred up and is an encouraging sign. Raleish Chronicle: - : Greenville,. N, C, Aug. 25. Fully three thousand people attended the Democratic picnic to-day at Grin dool, Pitt couniy. . In the forenoon the immense crowd was addressed by Hon. W. H. Kitchin, of Scotland Neck. He spoke for two hours. His speechwas a power for good in this county. His arguments were such that it can't be possible that there is a single Third party man left in that section. Many were heard to say .that they had been on the fence until to-day, but were now back into the Democratic party. Mr. Kitchen is doing a noble work for Dem ocracy. Raleigh News and Observer. On Tuesday evening Congress man S. B. Alexander and Col. E. D. Hall, on their way to the county con vention, spoke' in the court house to a larce audience. Mr. Alexander, in his talk, presented the thought that the very things the Third party was now contending for had always been Demo cratic demands, hence the folly of Dem-s ocrats going outside of their'party for relief. Col. Hall recalled events prov ing -how the Democratic party had always been the "party of progress and one which upheld and maintained the credit of the State. Both addresses were listened to with deep interest. Southport Leader. . : Ex-GovS Jarvis spoke at Mag nolia yesterday to at least two thousand people. Great enthusiasm prevailed and much good was done. We learn that Capt. D. A. Cogdell, of Grantham's township, the Third party nominee for the Senate, has refused to accept the nomination. We have it from re liable authority that the Republicans will not nominate a county ticket, but will endorse the county naminees of the Third party. We learn that Hon Octavius Coke made a ringing Demo cratic speech at LaGrange yesterday. There was an immense crowd present and maby converts was the result. Goldsboro Headlight. Thomasville, N. C, Aug. 26. Three thousand people were here to-day to attend the annual picnic of the Dav idson county Alliance. Alliance Lec turer Massey and would-be-Congressman bhuford . made straight Third party speeches, consisting of nothing but abuse ol the Democratic party. Massey said the meanest thing of the day when he charged that Senator Vance stayed away from the Senate chamber on the day the vote tn tree silver was taken in order to keep from voting. Not a thing was said against the Republican party, Many Alliancemen were disgusted that strict party speeches were mae at an Alliance gathering, bhuford said it an Allianceman voted anything but the "reform" ticket he was a coward. Char lotte Observer. We have heard during the past week of several gentlemen who had been professed Weaverites, coming back into the Democratic fold.- When the re port was first published here that ne groes bad been nominated by the third party in Vance and Edgecombe counties for responsible offices, the third party people here said they did not believe it; that it was a newspaper he. One of our citizens thereupon wrote to the chair men of the Democratic executive com mittees of the counties for the truth in regard to it and received letters that con firmed fully all that had been published, In Edgecombe negroes were nominated for the Legislature and for coroner. In Vance. Allen P. Eaton, one ot the most offensive negroes in the county. was nominated for register of deeds.

Morganton, N. C, Aug. 24. The largest, the most .enthusiastic, the most harmonious Democratic conyention ever held in Burke county was that held here yesterday.

The Governor said further that just after the adjournment "ot the Third natty State convention last week; he met Col.: Harry Skinner and asked him how it was that : he had been treated so, and Skinner answered that he had been turn ed down"because the damned fools didn't have sense enoueh to understand him.' - - Senator Ransom, while in the city Tuesday, told his friends that the politi cal situation in the State is improving daily.

Vtnet. - Bishop Pierce was once asked the question: "Will the heathen ' he damned if we don't send them the gos pel?" He replied-that the question for the Christian man was, not whether the heathen will be damned if be does not have the gospel, but whether the Chris tian man could be saved if be did not obey God's command and" send him the gospel. ! Christ lays hold ot the very foundations of society, and works his upward way to the very topmost stra tum, taking with him all men, women and children poor, feeble,' homeless, lost: and never resting until he has brought within the circle of his sover eignty, and the hopefulness of his bene diction, men ot every grade and quality. Joseph Parker. Perhaps you have a great mind; perhaps you have an eloquent tonguei it may be you have a . large purse, and can glorify God and bless mankind with that; but perhaps you have nothing m the world but a kind, sweet smile; then let that fall upon some poor life that has "no smile in it.

The pew is just as much re sponsible for hearing as the pulpit is for preaching, i be more a man hears tne worse he will become unless he profit by the hearing. It is an awful thing for a man to sit in the house of uod and hear His Word preached and then dis regard it. Every person should be deeply impressed with the solemn warn ing, "Take heed how ye hear.
