TEXAS AND THE CENTENNIAL.

TEXAS AND THE CENTENNIAL.
Whether or not Texas should
take any part in tho Centennial
Celebration at Philadelphia next
ycar, has been pretty thoroughly
discussed by tho press of tho State,
and the conclusion reached is, that
the decent papers Of tho State would
in n measure forfeit their self-re-
spect by having anything to do
with it under the auspices of the
present commissioner. In that con
conclusion The HERALD unquali-
fiedly concurs. Some effort is being
made to secure the resignation of
Mr.. Parsons, and to have another
appointed in his stead. In the
event of that effort being successful,
the question would then recur upon
the propriety Of Texas giving the
enterprise material aid, AS it is
not unlikely that tho change in
commissioner will be made, and the
question Of State aid or no State aid
become II practical one, we deem it
not Inappropriate to place ourselves
upon tho record rs opposed
in toto to any money being
voted out Of tho State Treasury
for that purpose. Tho whole con
Germ is u big speculation. 1t is
under tho management of u joint
stock company, the manipulators OF
which expect to gather many
shokels for themselves from tho
crodulity and gushing sentimental
ity of their fellow citizens. AT this
very time they IRE addressing most
urgent appeals to the public for
subscriptions of stock to enable
them to complete the buildings that
have been planned on the most
gigantic scale, and being constructed
at an enormous expense. The
statement is that 81 900, 900 must be
collected in the next three months
to keep tho work progressing, and
as Congress has refused to opon the
national vaults for their convent
eDce, and us many Of the leading
Northern States have followed IN
the wake of Congress, refusing to
make any appropriation for the pur-
pose, they are forced to appeal d.
rectly to the people. Of course, if
any individuals in Texas see proper
to invest their funds in the stock of
tho Company, either from the
promptings Of patriotism or with
the hope Of realizing tho fabulous
profits that arc promised to stock
holders, we have nothing to say
about it. 1t is only to the grant
ing of State hid that our objection is
taken. Thenecessities Of tho Com.
pany will f0rceit to make appeals
this winter to the Legislatures of
all the States, and it stands us in
hand to arm ourselves in advance
against tho seductive arguments
that will DO addressed to us.
We would not, however, have
Texas stand aloof in ~ childish
spirit, and refuse TO recognize tho
occasion or fail to honor tho princi-
| pies it is intended to commemorate.
We think she should take part,
but suggest it should be done
by vicing with her sister States
in making display Of the pro-
ducts of her fields, her forests, and
her mines; by having there upon
exhibition specimens of everything
that grows upon her soil, so that tho
world may see that, bearing upon
her bosom the wealth of almost two
zones, she is an empire State in
herself. 8

William b. Hurst, book keeper,
for several years in the employ Off lon
athan Watson, committed suicide by
taking laudanum on Tuesday after
noon last, at his residence in Titusville.
The Courier says Mr.. Hurst came to
Titusville in 1871 and went into the
employ of Jonathan Watson, as book.
keepr, which situation he filled up to
the time of his death. He has in all
that time been the confidential agent
of Mr.. Watson, knowing all the de-
tails of his very large business. Ia
this position he always discharged his
duties with the greatest fidelity and
eyinced capacity Of the highest order.
There is no doubt that the cause of
the suicide was insanity. His intimate
friends had noticed for some days past
that he had behaved in a peculiar
manner, at times giving way to fits of
deep melancholy, when everything
would look gloomy to him. He leaves
a wife and four daughters.
