THE EDITORIAL ExCURs ION.

A large number of Iowa editors will
arrive here on this evenings train on
tho Texas and Pacific railroad They
come iroma distant state, whore customs
and habits ara dlsimllar from ours and
where the republican party has mains
tanned q strong hold from beginning TO
end, Almost tho entire press of that
state Is Of tho republican pursuasion,
These facts make IL the more essential
that Texans should exert themselves to
show these editors all the courtesy and
attention within our power, Aside
from maintaining our natural aud much
talked Of hospitality, u political slgnili'
cameo IL attached TO giving these gentle
u hearty welcome These excursions Of
representative men from the Northern
States have done more TO dihpel and
refute tho attrocioua and uniounded
falsehoods circulated about our oua'
toms, habits and political and material
condition than that OF any othoragency,
| We arc not tho barbarians some Of the
more illiterate nj the north would bes
lieve of us, and when an opportunity
like tho present one Is before us, we
should take advantage Of IL to establish
ourselves In theirgood graces by showing
our hospitality, We wish you TO give
these Iowa editors just such reception
az you would the press Of Louisiana or
any other southern state, and the result
can only be beneficial TO us an city M
well az 10 them, They come TO SEQ our
state note our progress, habits, man
ners, etc, and will disseminate what
they see among their fellow.citiaens and
readers at home. Already has Texas
been extensively advertised abroad, but
like everything else that is worth adj
vertising, our advantages M n state can-
not be kept too prominently before
the people at a distance, Immigrants
are pouring in among us in large num-
bers, yet We have room for thousands
more, and should invite them hither by
ust such means as are suggested now,
Texas, being democratic state as ul'
ira, perhaps, as Iowa is ultra republican,
should do away with political badger
ing and upon purely social principles
cultivate the good will and friendship
of whomsoover of this class visits her
borders, In this way will we continue
in our progress, show our lber'
atty and create for ourselves
u good name abroad. These
suggestions are offered to the citizens
OF the state in general and our own in
particular, not that we apprehend a
lack of courtesy toward the Iowa edi-
tors, but as II reminder of the imports
ance of giving the matter your immedi-
ate attention. We hope to see our
citizens in general turn out and meet
them on their arrival here this evening;
and if they can beprevailed upon to re-
main over in our city for awhile, let us
give them rousing reception and show
them every possible attention.

Presbyterian COLLEGE.

We learn the prospects are good for
the location here of a college of high
order by the Presbyterians of the State.
The matter of the location was placed in
the hands of a committee by the Synod
last year. This committee submitted a
report at the session of the Synod at
Wichita last week. Proposals had been
received from various points, and that
from Emporia, represented by Rev. j: H.
Clark and Mr.. S Gurrier, received favor
able consideration. The matter was
postponed, but the committee has full
power to adopt the proposal from this
city. We trust the institution may be
located here, and urge it upon the atten-
ton of our people. Nothing within our
power to do should be left undone to
secure this college at Emporia.
