WASHINGTON, January -There will bo no lack of applicants for tho live railroad cornmiasionor.sbips created by tho interstate commerce bill. The places will pay 5-7500 a year each, and tho duties, while important; will rot be exacting or onerous. The commissioners will have that amount of traveling to do that will conduce of good health, and the nature of tho business in their hands will afford them a valuable insight into the workings of largo affairs.

The board wllliprobably consist of three Democrats and two Eouublioans, aud tin effort will be made to secure men of national reputation and of recognized business talents to servo. A great many names are uuggestod, some of them of men whom the country has ap- plandod iu high stations. Mr. Morrison has boon suggested for chairman oJ the board, but it is ascertained that being a member of the Congress enacting the law ho is thereby rendered ineligible to appointment -0' a commissiouership, Tho mention ot the name of Civil-service Commissioner Oborly for one of tho places is received wittt some degree of attention. Mr.

Oborly was a member of the commission that executed the Illinois state law regulating railroad tralllo, and is therefore possessed of practical experience in that lire of public business. Ho is a. popular writ oJ tho ground that the law ol' Missouri provides that in capital oases in cities laving a population oi' more than 100,000 tho' Bratn shall bo allowed iiecoeo. peremptory challenges to jurors, while rfsuwhere in Missouri tho Btate- allowed in euoh caeoe only eight peremptory challenges. This provision of the law the priuoner maintains operated to his disadvantage in tho trial in St.

Louis, and was denial to him ol protection of Jnw8," enjoined by tho fourteenth amendment of tho federal constitution. This court holds that, allowing tho State fifteen peremptory challenges in capital cases tried Iu cities containing a population of more than 100,000, is simply providing against tiie difficulty of securing in such cases impartial juries in a olty of that slzo. which does not exist In other portions of tho State, and, so fnr from defeating it, may furnish means of giving equal protection of laws" which tho fourteenth amendment declares shall not be denied. There is nothing in the legislation UIs- iint which is re Eonri on this point repugnant to thnt amendment, and the ludgniflrit of the Supreme Court of the Stata is affirmed. Docs a receipt of three, four and five hundred bales a day by one rtroi of Oottm Factors alone look much BS if the busi- ticjs was gong to decay If so, vie on the brink of ruin, for we yet that and sometimes HWC--andchiejly fronipeople understand the cotton business and know what ts good their pockets.

USrsG IT FOU HIM, anuary rho refusal of tho House to take up tho conference report on the interstate commerce bill to-day does not argue that tho measure has lost any of its strength in that body. It being suspension day, the choice presented was between Improving an opportunity consider important legislation, which if not improved would not oomo ngain for months, and taking up a measure which boing privileged could be called to-morrow or any day thereafter.

Judge Crisp's haste was variously construed, aud one explanation of it was founded on the erroneous impression that a Democratic senatorial caucus was to be held in Austin to-night, and it was sought to give Judge Keagon'e candidacy a boost by telegraphing either that his favorite measure had been promptly indorsed by tho House, or else that it had been taion up and was on the way to prompt indorsement. There, is every assurance that the matter, when reached, will soon bo disposed of. The scare is over, and whatever lobby influences have boon at work to diafoat ihe bill aro no longer employed. It is a mere question now of tolling tho vote and making formal record of what promises to bo an overwhelming majority. As to tho bonoflt that Judge Ueugan is to derive in his senatorial fight from his part in tho bill, that is his now to as full an extent as though tba bill had actually become a law.

It is generally conceded that but for him tho measure could not have succeeded. It ie likoly that the president will have signed the bill before balloting for senator begins at Austin, EDUCATIONAL AEILEHt. LOCl.U.lTV.

AniLENK. January is reported hsre that the Missouri-Pacific engineering corps began to-day a survey from Wood- vino pointing to this city. This road is one thought to bo, when built, a very paying investment, and of very great value to this city in many ways. The greatest benefit to Do derived--which will ho seen at a glance on the map--is the near and most direct connection witt the east. When the proper time arrives our people will encourage this road and stand rcadv and waiting lor a proposition.

Ia Kuws of yesterday it was reported that Ban Saba has a bonus of sub- fr-crlbed for tho extension of the Missouri Pacific from Dallas via Waxahachio and other points to that town; but r. is Ihe opinion that the far-seeing railroad managers, if an extension of the road is made, will not sook competition and ran into a country already crowded with roads, but will build through Cook, Wise-, Jack, Young, Stephens, Shackelford, and Taylor counties, and from Abilene build an extension, to Sun By going through this range of counties it would traverse the finest body of luude in. the State, and counties that uro fast settling up, Tho most of this is unknown to tao sound ot the iron horse. Large immigration would follow, and a paying road would bo the result. ritTITIOXS ASKING FJH ITS PASSAGE.

H. STEVENSON, Secretory. APPROVED THE I'RESIDSNT. Tho president has approved amendment proposed by civil service commissioners of rule -i of tho amended civil service rules, giving 1 tho commissioners authority to appoint tho following awards of civil service examiners: The central board, composed of 7 members, who shall be detailed from the department in which they may do serving for continuous service at the oftlco of tho civil service commission.

It was basod on au entire misapprehension of the.theory of covornmont, nud Illustrated tho tendency of that class of agitators to demand a continued interposition of tbo national government state, local and domestic affairs, with the result of absolutely destroying the Independence and freedom of individual conduct und subverting the theory on wliich the government was based. Mr.

Vest said he could not understand the difference between this measure und the Blair educational bill, except that tho one provided for general education aud tba other for agricultural education. The ob jectlons to the Blair bill applied with equal force to this bill. He had been glad to hoar the senator from Kansas declare his opposition to perpetually recurring legislation that wanted lo strike down oil distinctions between federal and state power." There weresomo distinctions still existing between federal and state power, aud one of them wna tho fundamental distinction that States had exclusive control over education, Mr. Butler said that he could see a witto difference between bill, which ho favored, find the Blair educational bill. It w-is refreshing to boar the SuntlniuntH expressed by the senators from Kansas and Missouri after the action of tho Senate on the oleomargarine bill--destroying one industry at the dictation of another--and on the interstate commerce bill, plouro-pneumonia bill 1 and tne Blair educational bill.

Ho had derived great comfort from tho expressed by these two senators. They filled him with pleasure and encouragement for tho future. But If Congress was going on questionable, grounds, he proferrad to go In a direction tJnat would be oeneflcial to tho farmers. Without action on the bill, or on any of tie Bending amendments, tho Senate adjourned. ZiTOTICE!
