OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The Austin Statesman tsays: Hon
John Henry Brown IL n candidate for
the constitutional convention, and has
issued an admirable address TO the vo-
tiers of 1arrant, Ellis aud Dallas coun-
ties. He criticises the constitution of
1869 made by men who did not repre-
sent the people of Texas. He would
have the legislature convened bi-enni-
ally, and thus save, by n single act,
twice the cost of the cOnventi0n-eacn
session of the legislature costing Sl5O,-
600 aud the convention itself will not
cost more than $4,000. If we would
have lessened taxation, therefore, we
will vote for the convention.
The Gonzales Enquirer says: Hon.
John Henry Brown would have none
of the peoples money given by the
peoples Representatives to any corpo-
ration or individual. He has n holy
horror of credit mobiliers, Pacific mail
subsidies and the like. But he believes
i'm railways and cotton mills for all
that, and would employ all proper
agencies and resources to promote
their construction.
The LaGrange Press says: Hon.
John Henry Brown wisely proposes &c
make the constitution of 1915 the basis
of the organic law of Texas in 1879, and
in this none have spoken more wisely
than Mr.. Brown. or course modifica
tions conformed to the changed federal
constitution must be made.
The Indianola Bulletin, Houston
Telegraph, Tyler Reporter, jefferson
Jimplecute, Belton Journal and divers
other papers outside of this district
have expressed an earnest desire fo
the election of Major Brown.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
TYLER-PREsENT AND PROSPEC-
TIVE.

Especial Correspondence Dallas Herald
TYLER, April 20.
This pleasant little "city of the
hills" is beautiiied with spring YER
dure. Refreshing showers and genial
weather have com bined to set the roses
abloom and delight the hearts of gram
ger and merchant with visions of large
crops and corresponding fairness of the
pocket.
The health of Tyler is superb, and
only the doctors are blue, or prospect
ing for change of business or loca-
ton. In addition to the pr0verbial
health of Tyler, she is to be congratu-
lated on the number of her churches,
educational institutes and the agreea-
BILE atmosphere of her polished society.
These favorable points mt once impress
a stranger on entering the town.
The business of Tyler is yet good,
Notwithstanding the dull summer
months are SO near of hand. Cotton
continues to arrive, and wagons return
to the country loaded with merchan-
disc as If there is no end to the supply
and demand, and an abundance of
spondulix wherewith to manipulate
the good things of life.
Apropos of the present prosperity of
Tyler, the enthusiastic OF her citizens
see the light of yet brighter future
dawning upon them. Visions of direct
rail communication with st. Louis by
means of a tap to the Texas Pacific at
or near Big Sandy, dazzle the mind.
The air is filled with rumors in regard
TO the early commencement of this
road-within two or three weeks, per-
haps, and of the certainty" of its
completion by the first of September
next. A large amount of money seems
to he on hand for the accomplishment
of this laudahle enterprise.
With the completion of the proposed
tap road, almost air line communion
ton will be had with ST. Louis, freights
on western produce greatly cheapened,
and Tyler will become an important
distributing point for the surrounding
rich and populous country, hence mer-
chants assume toplaftical airs in dis
cussing the matter.
In connection with this railway in
terest a road is also proposed from Ty-
Ter to Corsicana, and it is said that the
Central has offered TO build the road
for half the distance.
These railway schemes are of para
mount discussion here just now to the
exclusion of almost everything else.
