GERMANS IN TExAs.-There are about 10000 Ger
mans in Texas Of whom from IL, 900 to IA, 900 have
migrated from the West. They are scattered over
the whole State, but especially in the Counties Of
Comal, Gillespie, Medina, Bexar, Galveston, Colora
do, Calhoun, Austin, and Harrisburg. NewBrannfels
Fredericksburg, and Custervlle are entirely German
In Seguin, Indianola, Galveston, and Houston there
are about an equal number of Americans and Ger
mans. In San Antonio the majority are Germans. In
Austin, Columbus, La Grange, Victoria, Corpus
Christi and many other towns, there are large num-
bers. Ii VIII be very readily understood that the larger
portion live in cities mechanics merchants and ply
sicans, while the smaller, but the better educated
class are engaged in agriculture and cate-raisng The
educated class Of Germans is proportionably greater
than in any other State, and nowhere else has so
readily adapted itself to its necessities. Among Ia
borers as well as among merchants and farmers, are
found men who were formerly officers professors stu
dents Of all the faculties lawyers parsons teachers,
even counts and bsrons. Every one who comes into
the country without means embraces that particular
branch of labor which viii furnish him with the means
Of subsistence.

We expressed our opposition TO the measure before

would interfere with trade with other countries;
but now that il has been decided by the British Cow
eminent not 10 interfere with the commercial relations
and treaties of Great Britain with other countries and
that il is 10 become the law of the land It should be

The DRAIYIsG OF THE HARLEx SEA.-The Chair-
man Of the Commission On the Draining of the Harlem
Sea has published final report on this work. which Is
TO be finished this year. The expenses from 1899 to
1885, inclusive are g. 400 oOo and the receipts from
land TO be sold is estimated at e. 200 900. 1t at
first supposed the reclaimed land would be worth only
some $50 per acre. but in 1853 was actually sold for
over $40. This return exceeds all expectation, as
the draining not undertaken as speculation, but
as precaution against further nroads of the sea.
Fruitful farms already begin to appear here and there
on the former floor of the sea. Forty-fve thousand
acres in all have been reclaimed from the sea, which
