STATE FAIR ITEMS.

We clip the following paragraphs
from the Houston Telegraph Of We'd
nesday:
FAIR ACCOMMODATIONS.
We are happy to say, in response to
our editorial Of yesterday on the duty
OF hospitality AT the state fair, that In
speeding the book of the institute at 70
Main street, we find great number of
our citizens have come forward and
placed rooms and board ut very moder-
ate rates during the fair, Mt the disposal
of the association.
MACHINERY FOR THE FAIR.
Several car loads Of machinery de-
signed for exhibition Mt the state fair
next week, have arrived In this city
from st. Louis. The articles comprise
many labor.saving inventions never
before brought to the state, and the
operations of which will prove of value
and interest to our planters and manu-
facturers. The power hall promises to
be one Of the most complete of all the
departments, and every machinist and
manipulation of machinery should see
the exhibition. The freight, per car
load, through from st. Louis, was
placed by the roads at the remarkably
low figure of 500.
IMPORTED STOCK.
Several car loads OF imported stock
are also arrived and Ell route. There
is already in the city sheep of extra
fine breed for which the owner has re-
fused $500 cash.
WILLING TO HELP.
The Texas express company, which
is always among the first to help In
matters of local enterprise, and affairs
tending to advance the state, has come

b., Small, its president, informs ex-
hibitors that all packages weighing
under three hundred pounds, twill be
forwarded and delivered on the fair
grounds, upon payment of the regular
express charges, when a ticket will be
given consignee emitting him to have
the same returned free within ten

All packages under % pounds, of u
horticultural and genealogical charac-
ter, intended for exhibition, with q

This announcement is also made
TO THE PRESS.
Editors and correspondents can have
their communications forwarded free

stamped envelopes of the proper de-
nomination to cover postage, and de-
posting them in express Office on the

The HERALD says at would Ike to see statue

erect one In front OF the HERALD ONCE or in the
Central Parks Just at present there is q move
ment on foot among newspaper men to erect
statue to John Milton, who was Cromwel's Latin
Secretary. Cromwell came very near being an
American, but the HERALD says. He was ss much
al American as an Englishman," which Is hardly
true. II he had come over in the Maynower he
would never have been Protector, and would have
made no more OF ngure In our history than Miles
Standish. 1t Is wen ior England aud for the hu-
man race In general that he did not come, Tor he
did kind Of work In Europe which no other man
OF his time was capable OF doing. The only proper
place for statue OF Cromwell is In Lon.
don, and as soon as they have . republican
government there It Is probable that one
will be raised In his honor, but not sooner.
There Is no particular reason why q statue OF
Cromwell should be set up here, but still II the
