STATE PRESS REVIEW


reflect upon the Importance OF a change in
an, state constitution which irhibits state
LEGISLATION in behalf of Immigration. Texas
10 too large and has too maey Interests st
stake for any such rutsbsgs policy to pre-
vail. Commenting upon this subject the
Cleburne Chronicle says:
We don't pretend 70 set up our own
,udpmept in opposition to the united and
Combined wisdom of those who have shaped
snd continue TO control our state policy, but
wa have our own thoughts and opinions
notwithstanding our great reverence for
ihoso in authority. Especially are we dis
nosed to find fault, when we see such emil
pent success GROWING the efforts OF other
states in direction in which our own
authorities would seem to have no interest.
Wa should. one aud all, look upon the
merchant as at only for lunst asylum,
who. having on hand on immense STOCK OF
goods, would not only advertise them. but
Tsnder their sale impossible by shutting up
his storehouse, and only entering 1T when
forced to do SO BY the opportunities of some
would-be customer. In TINS age, such
merchant would soon have a sheriff In per-
msnent possession Aud yet the state OF
Texas has tor some yesrs pursued policy
very similar in the matter OF Immigration,
and had ii not been for the enterprise OF her
railroad companies and the press OF the
state, assisted by many wlde'awake citlzsns,
her vast unoccupied territory would remain
an unknown land to the out.ide world. In
contrast, look ut the course thst has been
found SO gainful in other states. Only see
what Tennessee is at present doing. Her
bureau of agriculture has appointed com
missoners in every county IN the state to
canvass for list of all lands for sale, which
list ia to be published and distributed in the
north and throughout Europe. Can any
one doubt that such al advertisement will be
productive of many benefits to that state?
Tho Mckinney Enquirer is sadly behind
the times 1t propouuds question of such
easy solution, and yet it docs not know the
answer. 1t says:
The greatest conundrum of the times is
how man who is not worth a cent, but who
obtains government situation oil 3O0o
wear can inside of two years from his ap-
pointmeut, honestly contribute $25 900 to-
ward promoting The election of a presidential
candidate That is Brady's position sn
what lie did
All you have to do 10 accomplish this
thing is to DO republican.
Tho San Antonio Express very sensbly
says:
At this day and date the republican party
lie disrupted, and many believe and hope its
DAYS are numbered; but two facts should not
be forgotten: the capacity of the democrats
for blunder'bg, and tina! the republican party
heretofore has been like joint-snake. 1t
may DO Knocked into dozen piec' or fsctions
"between times" but it is always found inv
tact on election day. The democrats should
rely upon themselves, rather than upon splits
in the republican party.
As everybody knows who takes the trouble
to examine at weddings tho presents or TO read
the list of presents published in the paper
the character OF presents made are not in
every instance useful, and there
are also SO many duplicates,
especially, for Instance, in salt
cellars, butter knives, bouquet holders,
napkin rings, etc. II friends in making
presents would study the useful more than
the aesthetic or ornamental, they would do
the young married couple real service, and
not simply an ostensiblo ono. Tho Alvaro
Bulletin noticing recent wedding, comments
on the utility Of the presents made, and we
like the idea. Furniture is the thing; bed
stesds, chairs, sofas, carpets, queeusware and
cradles are always useful and serviceable,
The Bulletin says:
Miss Ella Barnard, of Waco, was welded
to Captain McLsrty, of Abilene, the pact
week. We note the fact in order TO mention
in connection herewith tina rather startling
fact that tho presents, Of which there were
quite number, were both handsome and
useful. Beds, bedsteads, bedquilts and
household furniture OF the Indispensable or
der largely predominating. The conven'

Miss Ella had.
We don't know the politics of Judge Par
ker Of Indiana, but it is q good wager that he
is democrat because he is so thoughtful, &c
considerate, 60 truly one of the people as The
following from the San Antonio Express
will show:
