Immigration.

The Dallas Commercial COM
menting on the article on I'm
migration" published in the
BANNER last week says General
Robertson's views are evidently
correct, Texas has lost her i'm
migration, not because there is
no immigrants to be had, for
more people are emigrating to-
day than ever before in the his
tory of the country, but because
the state has ceased its efforts
and discouraged the immigrant
by the selfish policy of its gov
eminent. After summarizing the
result it says:
But suppose that Texas had
the immigration now pouring in
to the west and mark the differ
ence. Transactions in real es-
tate would at once begin, mon
ey would circulate freely. There
would be a brisk demand for all
the farmers products. Farms
would multiply, cities would
greater and villages rise on ev-
cry side: The taxable property
of the state would soon double.
Vast prairies now lying idle
would soon be productive farms
and pay ten times as much to
the state as they now do. The
result would be that where the
state spends a few hundred thou
sand for public schools and the
means to induce immigration,
hundreds of millions would be
added to the wealth of the state.
Oh, for a statesman at the helm
with a comprehension equal to
these things aud sagacity sure
enough to grasp them.
The truth of the above can
not be successfully controver-
ted. If we wait the slow pro-
cess of the natural increase of
population in Texas it will be
years and years before the state
is settled up. We want immi-
grants to develop its vast re-
sources.

THE Marshall Herald say

THE Marshall Herald says
there is evidently a feeling per-
vading the state in favor of a
rigid enforcement of the crimi-
nal law. Offenders are begin
ing to experience the painful
truth that Texas courts and jul
ries have awakened to a sense
of their responsibilities and du-
ties. During the past few
months there have been quite a
number of convictions; if courts
and juries will continue to do
their duty there will be many
more. The criminal laws of the
state are amply sufficient. The
only thing needfIl is that they
be enforced impartially andwith-
out fear or favor, let every man
be equal before the law and
there will be less shooting and
cutting.

Yes, the BANNER favors pub
lie free schools, first, last ana
all the time. That the public
schools are a nuisance we do
not admit. Outside of a few of
the towns, they are not exactly
what they should be. but they
are far better than no schools
at all. The opponents Of pub
lit schools favor popular igno-
rance, while those who favor
free public schools favor popu-
lar education.

TIE following from the Den

The following from the Den
ison Nr5os, a sound democratic
paper. contains much truth and
is worthy of consideration:
If there is any one measure
the Democratic party in Texas
is pledged to more than anoth-
er, it is 10 the support Of a lib
eral system of free schools. If
the time ever comes that the
party takes a back track on this
question, it will be pro phetic
of its decay and ultimate defeat.
Gov. Roberts does not repre-
sent the party in his acton On
the appropriation bill, and he
should be made to unders tand
it in unmistakable terms.

Missouri is superior to Kansas

a democratic congress, a good

GREAT stress is laid on the
fact that the present free schools
system in Texas is radically de-
fective. No one pretends to
claim that it is perfect and the
next best thing to he done is to

ing state and local elections on
different day from that of
congressional elections; and
many other things.
The two most important
things before the legislature
will be the appropriation for the
payment of the interest on the
public debt and the support of
the free common schools. The
governor still lays considerable
stress on the Importance of
selling the public lands amount
ing to 100000 acres and the
school lands amounting to 49,
100000 acres more. 1t would
seem that a worse time to sell
lands could not be selected,
immigration to the state has
nearly ceased, and there has
been a shrlnkage in the taxable
value of property of over sI7,-
100000 in the past year. This
fact alone betokens anything but
prosperity in the state, notwith-
standing the season just passed
was very favorable for crops.
What Texas needs is more far
mers, more money, more manu-
factories and more free common
schools; with all these, the va
cant lands will be taken up and
the entire state converted into
a garden spot.
