STATE PRESS REVIEW.

The Waso Examiner, summarizing the
policy expressed by Lieutenant Governor
SAyers in hiS vsledictOry to tho senate, pays
thst gentleman q merited tribute and en-
dorses NEST heartily the views expressed by
Kim. On the subject of immigration and
education it uses the following terss language
which meets with our earnest appreciation:
"To bar ous immigration is to forego that
compact population which brings mixed in
dustrics, oducatioa and renders the develop
mens of tho arts, the sciences and general
culture possible. To friiter away the youth
Of eur children in al inefficient system Of
education is to coDEgn the coming genera
ton half educated to a world strongly edu-
Gated and to competitors to which they ara
wholly unified"
The Galveston Journal of Commerce,
keanly alive TO the interests Of its city, never
lets pas an opportunity to say word in its
behalf, and TO advocate any measure calcu
lated to advance iR prosperity. o. the sub
ieCt of deep water it is thoroughly aroused
ard ia tho following commapdable words
urges the necessity of deep water;
with thi, object in view, the standing
Committee on DeSp Water fer this port,
confidently appeal 10 all citizens Of Galves'
ton and Texas, who are direstly interested
and to the great mass Of population living

"Still we aro considerably indebted 10 the

"However, their loas is our gain, we need

1t is gratifying TO notice that nearly the
entire press of the state has awakened to
tho importance of deep water on our coast
and the necessity of oae arSt-class seaport at
least. The Herald was the first paper out

should, through she legislature, prepare
