Republican papers before the census
was taken, asserted that Missouri had
received no immigration, because of its
democracy. When the census showed
her increase in population during the
decade to have been very large-much
larger han that OF the republican state
of Illinois-this cry, pertorce. ceased.
Since then, they assert that the state has
not progressed in its material interests
from the same alleged cause. OF course
this is untrue. How much so we can
not now accurately say because the full
statistics have not yet been furnished US
by the department.. But in Texas there
has been a state report made of progress
in and manufactures. Texas
has never had a tincture of republican
rule. Republicans have no more inau-
ence in shaping her legislation than if
such a party had no existence. Despite
this the state has received more immi-
grafton than any other. Despite this it
has built up and fostsred an education
al system of which any state might feel
proud, the capstone of which is to be
a university more literally endowed
than has ever been any other in this
country at its inception. Despite this 1t
grows and prospers. A%ourishing like the
green bay tree. a pride to its people and
a wonder to the world. Statistics pub
lished in the Galveston News, Septem-
Der l, show that 1854 miles Of railway

sprung into existence, aud that the value

$50. There has been expended during
tho year for railroad construction within
the state perhaps something like $780,
600, 900, which. added to the above,
would give agrand total of $115 ,960, $50,
as the sum derived by Texas to tho
credit of its industrial and agricultural
resources, or fully double that of the
years 1878.79. No data are at hand by
which can be reckoned the amount OF
money brought into the state by immi-
grants and others, and by Investors in
real estate and personal property, al
the amount from these sources
must be very large. The present pres
perity of the state IS unparalleled, and
what is better it promises to continue.

the robbery of the Chicago u Alton
train near Glendale. last Wednesday
evening. While crimes Of all kinds
are rife in all the states of the union
and robberies and burglaries occur
everywhere, it is undoubtedly true
that there have been too many train
robberies. in Missouri. 1t is high
time that they were stopped. They
bring disgrace upon Dur state, and
give 1t a very bad name abroad,
causing us great loss of immigration
and capital that might otherwise come
here. The diff :ulties in the way of
experimenting this species OF outlaws
are very great. They are always
masked, making their Identification
difficult. They separate as soon as
the deed is committed, and
are as likely to be a few hours after
ward, joining in the pursuit as any
where else. But however dif1icult-it
may be TO capture them no efforts
should be spared. A healthy public
sentiment should make every neigh
borhood in the country too hot to
hold them. Young men should real
ize that there is no heroism in their
dastardly work-that it is simply a
miserable kind of thieving, without a
redeeming feature in it. Especially
was this last robbery q dirty aud dis
graceful job, where women were rob-
bed Of their finger rings, and insulted
with coarse and brutal language. 1t
should be understood that a man who
harbors Il Of the thlev es is no better
than the thief himself, and that de-
cent people iii Missouri are deter
mined that a few scoundrels in the
community shall not bring disgrace
upon them and their state. 1t should
be appreciated that these train rob-
bers are the greatest enemies that
Missouri has to-day, and they cost
her more by their deviltry, in dollars
and cents, than her entire state.gov-
ernment. Popular opinion should
back up tho oficers of the law i'll all
their efforts to capture the outlaws.
ana the people should see to it that
no officer loses a dollar by his zeal in
their pursuit. 1t begins to be a seri-
GUS thing. to westernMis ouri indeed
to the whole state, and n OF a stone
should be left unturned to put a stop
to the. nefariops work. If the men
already captured ire part of the
gang theysshould be made to tell all
they know or look up a limb. The
time for temporizing and foolishness
has passed In this business, and the
re,becoming very tired of it,
We believe that Gov. Crittenden
will do everything he a to. have,
the outlaws brought TO Justice, but
the law gives him very little power
to act. In the absence Of adequate
of law Vet the people be as
alert as possible, and render to the
officers every aidsiu their mower.

which renders it very valuable. Its cul-
ture in Europe is hundreds OF years old,
and it is 10 longer an experiment here.
as has been demonstrated by our own
commission which has ~two-year-old
carp at Forest park which weigh full 3
pounds. All tho carp at this point
are now in one pond, but two other
ponds are being prepared and will be
ready to be stocked with brood carp
early in the spring. The results OF
next springs spawning and Matching of
carp is expected to be very gratifying.
and that it will place the commission
well on the way toward sup plying
reasonable demands for the fish from
all parts of the state. 1t is to be hoped
that the powers that be IN st. Louis will
