ALHss0N POR TEXAS.

The Waco Telephone of the 22d instant,
contains strong editorial entitled "a Les
son for Texas" In this it reviews the pres
ent railroad condition and great advance in
population of the state of Kansas. 1t is true
that there is some distress in some of the
counties of Kansas, owing to the foolish rush
of the negroes to that state
during the past year, but beyond
this fact, Kansas is remarkably prosperous
state. With the immigration there came a
large increase of taxable values, which put
thousands and thousands of dollars into her
treasury with clear gain without increase of
tax rate. While Texas has doubled her popu-
lstion in ten years, Kansas has trebled hers
and Quadruped her taxable wealth. The Tele'
phone, viewing these facts, then says: "How
is it, then, that Kansas has been enabled to
outstrp Texas in acquiring inhabitants and
The secret may be told in Il
few words, and Texans should heed the les
son. Kansas has courted immigration and
capital. Like lover wooing his hearts mis-
tress, she has wooed the hardy and
the thrifty and intelli-
gent of America and Europe. For five
years her legislature has appropriated $780,
900 per annum as an immigration fund.
What return for an annual investment Of
$4,000! A trebled population and quadru'
pied assessment rolls. Kansas has caused it
to be made known throughout the world that
the immigrant will be welcome on her soil;
that her public achool-houses stand open ten
months in the year, open to every child,
free without price. This policy has
given her the new population and wealth
above stated and will give her, after the next
ten instead of three represen-
tatiyes in the lower house of congress. Is
Texas too proud to learn o lesson from this
bleak, unattractiye land Of Kansas? But
q few years ago the home of the jayhawker,
it now teens with every evidence of civiliza-
ton and progress. Railroads gridiron it,
school.houses stand like mile-stones and all is
thrift and advancemy Whether justly or
not, we shall not stop to consider here
the news has gone to the world that Texas
opposed free schools and immigration. On
hundreds of thousands of the immigration
pamphlets, that have been sown broadcast
over the land by the railway companies
whose lines led into Kansas, have been
stamped the declaration of the present
governor of Texas: The best system of
schools we ever had was before the war, when
the state aided the: - igcnt scholars by a
small bounty 20 bis declaration to
General Gano: 4 would not give
a dollar family for immigrants
Not alone in America. but rendered
into the language of Europe, these expires
sions have found their way across the Allan
tic. The governor of Texas, on education
and immigration, is known and quoted in
France, Germany, England Ireland, wher-
ever people migrate. Is this state of things
to be continued Are our people never to
learn that population and wealth must be
sought il we are to gain them? Will 1t be
contended that Texas has population. enough
wealth enough"

As is generally known throughout the
state, Captain w. Q Conner, of this
city, is a candidate for comptroller, subject
to the nomination of the Democratic state
convention. As citizen of Dallas, it is
with pride that have noticed the many
favorable mentions male of Captain Conner
and bis candidacy by the press of the state.
II amounts almost to a boom. Captain
Conner has lived in Dallas since first it be-
came railroad town. He has ever been
foremost in all undertakings and enterprises
for the advancement of the city and for its
material prosperity. twas through his eff
forts that the city has water-works; he aided
effectively in the establishment of gas works,
and by his untiring energy he has
built up our fire department to be the best
one in the state and he has delevoped the fire
department of every other town and city 10
citation that Is credit TO the tiremen and to
the state as well. Possessed of number one
business qualities, he has by his assiduity TO
business acquired competence for himself
and established reputation III business cir
Giles and among his fellow.men for prompt
ness, reliability and integrity OF character
second to no mans. Dallas county should
feel pride in seeing him nominate in see
ing him the comptroller Of Texas managing
the accounts and business of the state, for he
has the practical know ledge and the und
judgment and good sense, as well as the in
dustry and fidelity to duty to do it well.

Maj. Charles L. Martin, formerly of the
Houston press, is a candidate for the legisla-
ture from Dallas Be careful, Charlie.
Don't you know that newspaper men are
expected to help everybody to Office for moth
ing, but when it comes to being helped
themselves, it's another matter p Houston
Telegram.
Mr.. Charles L. Martin, of Dallas, will be a
candidate for the lower house of the legisla-
ture. Mr.. Martin is gentleman in every
way competent TO fill the position, and while
having no personal or special interest in the
matter, the Telephone hopes to see him elect
ed, because men of bis kind will be of benefit
to the entire state Waco Telephone.
Our friend Capt. Charles L. Martin, of the

for representative in Dallas county. So far
as ability and cleverness is concerned, he has
no peer IN the Democratic party and if one
is to be elected we trust he will be the man.

ably impressed.with him at that time. We
know him to be an energetic, reliable bust
ness man; one who has risen from poor boy
to be one of the prominent, influential cti.
zens OF Dallas, by his own unaided exertions.
Several gentlemen of Denton who are init
mately acquainted with Mr.. Conner, inform
us that he is in every way well qualified for
the position, and the Monitor hopes the con-
vention will nominate him for comp
troller. If elected to the office,
he will attend to the duties
himself, and not be dependent, through in
ability, upon a chief clerk, as is usually the
case, One mistake often made by the peo-
Pile of Texas is that they elect men to fill
such offices, not on account of fitness or capa.
bility but on account of long residence and
good character. While these are certainly
necessary, yet if the incumbent is not quail
fled for the position he is bound to trust the
business with irresponsible clerks. The PEG.
pile are not satisfied with the service, but the
officer is exculpated on account of good
moral character and absence of sinister mo-
tives, but the people have to suffer from the
effects of his imbecility all the same. In the
person of Mr.. Conner we will have man
competent to fill the office himself, and who
is equally we'll qualified in regard to charac.
ter and other essentials.

THE New Orleans Democrat has caused to
be interviewed some of the leading physi-

fast is impossible. One of them thinks Tan

Others contend that he is cheat and q
fraud, and is imposing on the community by
taking food surreptitiously. Another asserts
that his experiment, even if successful, will
establish nothing in the interest of science.
