STATE PRESS REVIEW.

There appears 10 be considerable soucla.
,on and unessiness about the counting OF
The vote on the university question. The
sOitated ones might as well keep cool.
When the returns are all in, if they ever all
Get in, the old aloalds will refill his pipe and
Count the votes AS he declared he would
unite the votes cast for Austin lor the unis
yersi,y without the medical department and
for Austin for the university entire. Ii IS
prepos,erous TO claim to believe half
dozen men in the state who voteG for Austin
for the university entire would not nave
voted for 1t without the medical department
if they had known it was TO be separated, or
vice versa 1t is the most reasonable lhing
in the world to suppose that every vote Aus
tin received for the university entire would
have been cast for Austin without the med
ical depar ment, and that il the way the vote
should be counted. Notice was duly given
that it would be 30 counted, and the people
voted with that understanding.
The Longview Democrat undoubtedly
takes the right view of the Indian question.
Tits in accord with the opinion we have
heretofore expressed and we endorse the
Democrat when ii says:
The recent violent outbreaks OIL the Apach-
es. tho troubles with the Sioux, and The pc
riodicsl raids Of the Indians OF Western
Texas. have called forcb'e attention to the
miserable farce, the Quaker or Peace policy
with the.Indians is, and will always be until
the Indian has changed his nature. Gould
the administration of that part of the affairs
of the Indian department which relates to
the intercourse with the Indians and their
control on the reservations, be entrusted to
army officers stationed in their midst, the
salaries of the hordse of Indian agents and
attaches of the agencies would be saved,
much greater degree Of honesty would be
introduced In the food and supplies pspart-
ment of the agencies, and peace would be
possible.
The Cresset, published st Seymour, way
out in Baylor county, at prese;t one of the
COW counties of Northwest Texas, is cltmor
GUS for railroad and under the title OF "the
GRAY Dawn of Light Brightens' says:
We learn from most trustworthy source
that the surveying corps Of the Gulf Color
ado & Santa Fe railroad were at Jscksboro
on last Friday, having completed o prelim-
mary survey from Westherford TO that
place. Upon enQuiring of the surveyors as
10 the direction they would take from jocks
boro, our informant was told that Seymour
would be the next OF iective point in their
run. The line from Jacksboro to Seymour
would pass over one OF the most emlnenlly
practical routs to be found in the couatry
and would command carrying trade both
north and south Of it tor many miles.
lkThe Canton Chronicle sound the keynote
when it says the following;
1t is more than year until the next gen.
era election, and still some of the managers
and would be managers are beginning to
lay pipes leading to the best offices and the
latest places. We advise the people tc
listen to Rone of these gentlemen, but talk
among yourselves and determine
who will suit you for the seve-
raj offices, and when the time comes fol
the primary meeting turn out en- mass and
aid in making the proper selection. In. the
next canvass let u, have no narrow gauge oil
stem winding conventions, but let US have
lhestandsrd gauge.
We don't know but that the Bastrop AID
vertiser makes a judicious suggestion III the
following, in case there has been no election
on the university. II says:
Austin has evidently distanced all com
petitors for the literary department of thu
university, while Galveston will probably
get the medical department, provided there
issn election, but this question is still in doubt
II would be we'll ii there were no election
in either, or that a new election could b.
ordered to take place at some general cleo
lion, when we are satisfied Austin coult
easily secure the location of the entire uni
yersily, Just where il was always intended l.
DO located at the capital of the state.
The Breckenridge Texan has doubtless BEEF
bored of late with exchange fends who ium
BILE up and take off the best papers wi,hou
saying so much as 'by your leave and VIII,
know good deal better how the pspe
ought to be conducted than the editor. l
sayi:
A few men who seem to have no other oo
cupstion than that Of losang are TO be founC
in every town and always imagine that they
are the constituted guardians of the commu
nifty at large They are weighed down witt
the responsibility of keeping the affairs o
i
done without advising with them ever meet
their approval. They are interesting spe
ces, and we're doubtless placed in the worlC
for the amusement of the balance Of man
kind.
The editor of the Texas s,d 81. Loui
News, published at Mount Pleasant, is in th,
hands of his friends. 1t is true his paps
takes its name from narrow gauge railrosd
but he has striven to run standard gaug,
paper and has not been successful in his Of
forts. He wisely concludes to quit unless BIZ
friends show their desire for him to continue
bypsying up and giving him proper encour
sgement. The people of Mount Pleasant
and Titus county, should by all means sus
tain and encourage their county paper
There is no better evidence of civilized Al
enlightened community than Its support of
home paper, and vice versa. The News says
We will not publish this paper after th,
first of next month. The cause is, person.
falling to pay their subscriptions, Good cit
liens from all parts of the country tell u
they do not want us to quit; but we can no
and will not publish q graiuItous paper
Our subscribers sre sill good mon, but tho,
are too reluctant soont paying their sub
