The long mooted question of dividing
Texas into three or more States Is to be
brought before the people at the next election
In that State, the last Legislature having votea
to submit the matter to the people. Texas
now has population of $4,000. ThepropoSed
three States are. to be Eastern, Middle ana
western Texas. The first lies east OF the Trln-
ity River, and has about 35o,0O inhaoitan1s.
Middle Texas, with population Of 25o,oOo,
lies between the Trinity and Colorado Rivers,
and Western Texas, lying west and soutn OF
the Colorado, has about 100000 population.
This question Of subdivision is causing much
political agitation throughout the State. Texas
is making very great progress, both IN regara
to increasing her population and in the deVel'
opInent of her resources. large German
immigration-which before the war was q very
important feature of the States prosperity-is
now helping to make Texas one Of the most
lourishipg Of the Southern States.
The recent elections in Paris were con-
ducted in the. usual quiet way common to
French e. lions. The polling places were es-
tabllshed a. che different mairles and school
rooms. Within, seated around green balze
tables. upon which are placed the voting urns,
sit sleepy andelderly commissioners OF elec-
tions. while at either side of the doors or
gates stand sergeants-de-ville with feartully-
bored look about them. The electors walk IN,
drop their tickets into the slit in the urn,
and then walk out as dumb as mutes. At the
entrance-much as is the case in American
elections-a few voters, friends Of the candi-
dates, gather round with voting lists In their
hands. and offer them to the voters as they
nass In. There is none of the hustle obserTa-
BILE which characterlzes the elections in this
country, everything being conducted in
uuiet and orderly manner. The same listless-
ness prevails after the polls are closed, and no
excitement to know the result is visible on
the streets. The reason for all this is obyi
ous: the men elected to Office are merely 10
conduct public affairs; there are no "spoih" to
be distributed, and hence the Indifference OF
the French voters.
According to the latestadvices direct from
Berlin. Alsace and Lorraine are giving their
eaptors q good deal OF trouble. The good re-
lations which lately su5slsted, not only be-
tween the new Germans and their masters,
mt also between the French In the occupied
cities and the invaders, have again given place
to animosities and Jealousy; so much so that
disturbances are anticipated in several quar-
ters. French influenceis SAID to be actively at
work, alternating the minds OF late French
men. and indeed, French soldiers In regimen
tails are seen in numbers in Alsace. The peo-
ple do not tske kindly to the iu-
