The Ottawa Board Of Trade are seeking

Texas is a sunny State. She was the
last one added to the domain of slavery
in the Union. On her soil in the late re-
bellion the last armed foe expired. She
was TIE last to put sehool-books into the
hands Of her children Now the sad IN.

that the free school system put in oper,
alton under the Republican rule is to be
abolished ,-that is, the tax for the sup
port Of the schools is not TO be collected.
The scholastic population of Texas is 229,.
56S, with an adult iIiteracy of 60.S95
whites and $50 Gil blacks. Its total
PopulptiOn is Sl9,j79, with an area of
1877 32l square miles. In all this terri.
tory aud for all these Icoplc, when the
Republicans came into power in 1870,
there wetc but two free school buildings.

violence towards teachers, the FIRST seasons

The present season opened with an en-.

Texas will soon cease to be the land of
poor and ch ap cattle. The enormous ex-
portations Of late years to Eastern and
Northern markets have about cleaned out
the herds in many counties. Cattle
thieves have injured trade 10 others. Live
stock men are now looking TO the raising
Of Guc breeds. The great Texas cattle
interests, once so imposing, will soon be
a thing Of the past. 1t was the result Of
a low civilization and must pass away as
progress is established.
The Sucz MARITIME Canal is not great
success financially, yet its stock can not
be very easily purchased. 1t has had a
wonderful influence upon oriental COM
mcrce, especially the China tea trade.
The element of cheap ocean transportation
without transhipmcnt has enabled the
eastern merchants to import their teas d.
rcctly by way of Suez atlower rates than
by Pacific steamer and rail. San Fran.
cisco merchants are much concerned at
this result. 7 he Sucz trade is increasing
by the increase Of propellers, and are the
only steam crafts available for passage
through the canal.
During the last decade the wages Of la
Dor u the iron trade of the North of Eng
land have increased as follows: laborers,
70 per cent; mouders, II per cent en-
CINE filters, II per cent; puddlers, 40 per
cent; coillers, 30 per cent. These mere
ments, however, do not equal the increas-
ed cost of living or the labcring British
population would not have resorted so ex.
tensively to immigration in order to bet.
