The San Antonio E.press says:

and il should be heartily seconded by tn
people of this city. The people In the diret
lion OF Goliad have long been badly treate
in connection with their postal STAIRS, an
Il Is full time some amends were made. Th
people of this city also are greatly intereste
In the matter, and should render all ID
asaistance IN their power to secure the estao
lishment Of the route.

others of the same stripe and calibre, viii

The Terrell Times, discussing manufac-
tories generally and lhos, now on taps in
Terrell Gays:
Ills recognized as fact beyon dispute that
such enterprises Ms ara on foot la this city
now, will red ,ul d to the glory and bonell. I
the whole county. But in this connection
there is a disagreeable fact which must not
DO overlooked, u hindrance far greater and
of infinitely more Importance than the troub'
10 of raising money with which to build iac'
tories, or 70 operate them when they are
built. Will our people paironlze their home
institution? Experience has given us neg
alive answer, aud out of that neglect OF the
south's citizens have sprung some OF our
worst ills. 10 Terrell every sacrifice is be>
ing made by monied men to inaugurate
industrial enterprise upon which the very
life of the town and the prosperity Of the
county rests. Will the other and remain
ing portion Of the inhabitants OF the county
do their shrae and pstronize these insdtu-
tions, and thereby make corresponding
efforts and sacrifices tor the
success striven for This is tho trouble, and
in fact the only difficulty, and it lies in the
power, as every other universal benefit OF
human agency, of tho public, of tho rank
and Ale of the farm and field. 1t
is for them TO say, IT is
dependent, this success of factories or
non success, upon them and upon their
future actions. No sane man can deny that
our Peep 0 have neglected homo institutions
for foreign ones, have patronzed northern
manufactures at the ruinous sacr flee and
neglect of those NJ home. Evidences
meet Us on every hand. In this city We
have some of the best wagon machinery In
the world. Carefully trained mechanics
manipulate the same and yet largo number
of wagons find their way from the north to
our farmers to the serious di,comlituro Of our
own manufacturing interests. This is but
one example out of possible thousand.
The Times need not DO uneasy on the
s,oro of patronage. To gel tho manufac-
tories Is the question. 1t is fact that people
always buy where they can do SO the cheap
est and get the best quality of goods for
their money. Trade has no sentimentalily
about 1t and knows no favorites
II people buy tho things they need
from abroad instead Of at homo, i,
), because they get better bargains abroad
thin they can get at home. Manufactures
can be established in Texas that can sell Their
goods cheaper than they can be sold abroad
and transported to our state and ii they dc
not do this, forcing our people to 60 else
where to spend their money It will DO their
own fault, and the result of business stupid-
ity.
The Waxahschie Mirror 10 the following
tells howit Is about the Normal school for
teachers now in session, but In the las!
sentence asks very pertinent question.
The HERALD like the Mirror, would like to
know by what authority Mr.. Holliogsworth
rendered the presidency of the state univer,
siiy TO Mr. Harris, of st, Louis. II may be
that Mr.. Harris ia emnently fitted for the
posiiina. The HERALD has nothing to say
on that point, bu, Il II not little previous to
DO selecting the president before We GOT the
UNIVERSITY? The location of that institution
oflearning has not been chosen yet even; aud
then after that point is settled, the buildings
have to DO erected, so why DO in such hur.
81! This precipitation on the part
of Mr.. IIollingsworIh, presumiog tina!
he is not self.appointed agent, reminds us
Of the action Of the chief engineer of the
Western Texas narrow gauge railroad u,
Houston, W. o, some five or six years ago
before the road was graded, tied, bridged OF
ironed, bought two locomotives for tho road
