Steamer Rodgers dated October 10 at st.

birds indicated land in that direction.

New York, November IA crank on
blackmail has been sending letters to Jay
Gould threatening to take his life if the
writer is not given points whereby he can
recover fortune lost in stocks.
The writer claims that he is in
spired by God. The methods of carry
ing out his mission are similar TO
that of Guiteau's. He signs himself "An old
victlm." A trap was set and the writer of
the letters caught yesterday. He gave his
name as Colonel J. Howard Wells, fcti-
tious address. He is about sixty years of
age.

The branch of the Texas d st. Louis rail-
road from Mt. Pleasant to Dallas, or some
other point west of us, will certainly pass
through Hunt county, and it seems now
that il will pass south of Greenville crossing
the Missouri Pacific at or near Lone Oak.
1t occurs to us that it would be to the in
terest of the company to bring their road
to Greenville, so that it will be able to COM
mand fair share of the carrying trade of
the county, which they could not hope to do
by building their road so that it will have
nothing more than way stations on it from
one border of our county to the other. That
this road would benefit Greenville greatly,
no one will deny; but it is equally clear
that the benefits to be derived from such a
connection would be mutual. Therefore
we are surprised that the company has not
submitted proposition of some kind to our
people. However, it is not too late yet, as
the line of the road has not been located
this side of Sulphur Springs. The road is
now being graded in Hopkins county

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

Tyler seems disposed to contest the late
election for the establishment of the State
University, bat it is doubtful as to whether
any court has jurisdiction of a case of con-
tested election. Had the proposed amend
State Constitution been adopted at the Sep
TENDER election, this doubt would have been
removed.
We do not see how Tyler can be aggrieved
by the result of the election to locate the
university being declared in favor of Aus
tin. 1t is our Understanding that the citi-
zens of Tyler, pending the election, enter
ical department was unconstitutional. 10
this proposition we agree. But If this is
correct, then Tyler was not in the race, she
having staked her chances of success upon
an illegal issue.-[Southeast Texan.

IMPROPER TAX RENDERING.
L

The next Legislature should pass q law
under which grand iuries could return an
indictment for failure to correctly give in
property to tax assessors. There are
thousands of "shrewd" men in Texas who
are rich but do not pay 20 cents on the one
hundred dollars worth of their property. II
there was way by which this class Of cti
zens could be reached, those who are now
shouldering the burden would feel great
relief in few years. Generally, real estate
pays ITS part and not infrequently more
than its part, but it is not the case with
other classes Of property.-[Tyler Courier

JUST so.


The editor often writes, not because he
has something which he wishes to say, but
because he must say something. He per-
haps would much prefer that his pen
should remain idle but the columns must
be filled whether there is anything to say or
not There is no other profession which
requires that the brain should be kept so
constantly and actively at work as editing
a daily journal: The editor cannot, like
others, work at his leisure or take the time
and pains to polish and shape his work to
suit his fancy, but he must work rapidly
and hurriedly and give his productions to
the public whether they are as he would
have them or not. Under the circum-
stances it is great wonder that more
worthless matter does not find its way into
the columns of the public journals than
does. Yet there are those who are ready to
criticize his productions as if they were
penned at his leisure and worked up in his
best style Texarkana Interstate.

CrOD Statistics,

WAsHINGToN, November 15.-The follow
ing statement showing the collection of sta
tistics of the cotton, corn and wheat crop,
were issued at the Department of Agricul-
ture:
The cotton returns of November from ten
of the principal cotton-growing States give
an indication of yield per acre compara-
bly, less than last year. The drought, which
was the cause of the fall off in all, was most
severe in the States west of the Mississippi,
and the reported decrease in these States is
thirty-three per cent. in Louisiana, fosr per
cent. in Texas, and nearly sixty in Arkansas.
North Carolina, on the Atlantic coast makes
a return of thirty per cent. less yield than
in 1880 South Carolina, Georgia and Mis-
sssippi are in better condition, and the
prospects for crop are not much below
weather is reported as having been favora-
BILE during the month, and the prospect of a
tair top crop was good.
Florida reports a decrease of 10 per cent,
Alabama an increase of - per cent, Ten
nesse an increase of II per cent Virginia
is not included as a cotton state, its. pro-
duct being insignificant.
The average yield per acre OF wheat in
1881, as shown by our returns is ten and
one-half bushels against thirteen and one
tenth in 1880, indicating a decrease of
about 20per cent. or one hundred millions
of bushels from last years product. which
reached nearly five hundred millions.
Along the Atlantic coast the yield has not
varied greatly from that of the previous
season, but in the interior and Western
States, there has been great falling OIL
caused by the severe winter, cold spring,
drouth, and in several States insect rayages:
But while in quantity the crop is reduced
the quality is generally reported to be very
good.
Corn returns show an average yield Of
twenty and one-half bushels
per acre, indicating falling
off of about 25<per cent. from the crop OF
1880, causejDchiehy by general and pro-
tracted dTYuth during the growing season
and by excessive rains since the crop was
harvested, which have done great damage
in many sections, especially in the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys. The chinch bug
has also been destructive in. the same
region. The quality of the crop is some,
what below an average. In Wisconsin and
Minnesota there is decided increase over
last years yield, but these are
exceptions TO The general rule.

Forthc coming Report Of the Secretary Of the
Interior

WASHINGTON, November 15.-The forth
coming annual report of of the Secretary of
the Interior is largely devoted to a fresh
discussion Of the Indian question, in course
of which he strongly recommends
that a liberal provision be made
by Congress for teaching Indian youths our
language. and that in justice TO the Indians
the number and area OF existing reservations
be greatly reduced, and that on such reser-
yations as are not well adapted TO farming
and without irrigation, forts be erect
ed TO teach them to learn to be
come herdsmen instead Of endeayoring to
try TO make them farmers; that the Indian
titles TO the reduced reservations be indi-
yidualized and thoroughly protected by
laws, and that the more civilized reservation
Indians be encouraged to abandon their
tribal relations by settingup experimental
forms Of local government among them as
nearly alike as may be TO the system OF
county government prevailing in the State
or township in which the reservations are
respectively located.
