Hon. II. o. Mack, of Collin county, spent
the day in the city yesterday, canvsssipg fol-
rhorps Spri gs, in Hood county, for the To-
cation Of the State University He makes q
strong case in favor of the point he repre-
sents rs against Austin or any city Candidate
He takes the ground that the youth of the
land uught not to be placed in the midst oil
the vices and corrupting influence of u city
and especially capitol CITY. Thst board
aud sll other items of expense will be SO
high at Austin ss to place the advantages OF
the uni 7ersity beyond the reach Of the great
body of the people, if it is located there, and
that practically it will be failure under
sucn circumstances. Also that the people
out of whose money the university is to be
built will get double the extent and capacity
Of buildings for the money appropriated, in
Hood county that they will g3t in Austin
and that N nth Texas should have something
in the distribution of public buildings. The
claims of Hood county--health, Water, tenn
perence of her people, cheap and unsurpassed
building material, cheap board and being az
educational center, are fully set forth by this
gentleman, He insists that his view OF the
matter is altogether sound and he thinks the
people of the state sh )uld consider them well
before casting their votes Mr.. Mack prom
ises to be present at the reunion on the 10Th
of August when he will give full express
ion OF his vie ws to the public. he expec,s 10
canvass the state in the cause and hopes to be
able to get the people to look at this matter
in the light of patriotism and the success oil
the unworthy, and not in the interest of any
particular locality.

when President Lincoln was killed. His soul
was filed with grief at the dread tidings and
his bosom wracked with all the emotions that
swayed tho multitude in that city, yet when
the enbtt, rod and sorrow m'ddened crowd
was sweeping down upon the World office TO
d Astroy it and perhaps its owners and ems
ployeea, he stood in front of /. and by his
magic eloquence, his almost inspired words
CHI ,cked ii, stopped 1t and turned 1t from its
purpose. he would not ask any of that injus"
tice for himself that he was unwilling to see
perpetrated for the murdered Lincoln, and
when the newspapers demand tho death OF
his assailant under any circumstances they
do him great wrong and they do the coun-
try wrong.

GONE MORE unfortunate, rsshly importu-
nate" has gone to its grave. The Denton
daily Press is no more. After three months
struggle it died of inanition. 1t is true II
WAS not very large craft. but its wreck all
shattered and torn on that shore where SO
many, even prouder vessels have died before
it, will add to the gloom while the monody
of the waves in their ceaseless beat upon the
solemn sands, will take sadder tone. No
stone may mark its last resting place, but
the ever restless sea of journalism will be iIs
monument, and the winds that sweep ever
the troubled pillows will sing its eternal
requiem. We regret the uutimely demise OF
,he Press for we hoped it might live ard
prosper for the sake Of its editor aud pro.
prietor, our friend Dodson. But Denton's
loss will no doubt prove his gain and Dem
toms gain too, fer he will have more time
now TO devote to his weekly already a most
excellent paper, and to the mayors Office
which he file so gracefully.

THE Galveston Journal Of Commerce In
its last issue publishes in full our recent art-
Gle on North Texas and Dallas. This Is a
compliment and ut the same time great
benefit to this section of the state which the
people will appreciate and be thankful for.
The Journal of Commerce, while i! is devot-
ed to the immediate interest Of Galveston
and its section of the state, at the same time
has pride in Texas and never lets an OPP
portunity pass to ssy good word or lend a
helping hand to any section. It is most ex-
cellent paper, ably edited and managed, and
Galveston should be proud oft, rs indeed
the whole state should.

that we see SO many boys intoxicated in this
