until Galveston is first supplied, and wher
Galveston has an abundance of water owe
her bar there will be no need for ship chan
mel TO Houston. The CorsicanA Iudopend
ent says on this subject:
Our fellow-citizen and worthy Congress
man II @ M lis is hard AZ work getting up
an enthusiasm on the subject Of Gtep wa
ter" for Houston. This is TiGnt. The
great state of Texas cannot afford IL b tlea
up to only one, two or three deep wa or AZ :
enues TO mother ocean, and IL is utter folly
for any one port to expect any such thing.
We trust the people Q! Houston will open
their eyes TO the necc sity of united and per
sistent efforts to accomplish the object in
view. Not only Houston, but Texas MS q
whole, is deeply interested in the msttor, and
! IL behooyes her citizens to aid her Congress
sionsl Representatives all that lies in their
power to procure the nece sary funds TO have
Tire work an accomplished fact.
The Waco Telephone publishes an editorial
fully two thirds of a column long to show
why labor is scarce in this state despite the
great flow of immigration. n the first place
labor isn't scarce, but very plentiful on the
railroads and that tells the whole tale. But
the Telephone says:
Reference is frequently made by 1exas peo-
pie to these two questions, In tho form or
complaint that the latter is SO scarce and the
former 60 unreliable. For several years inns
migration has been quite limited, it is true,
but at the present time strong ard power
full current has set Texsa.wsrd. There is
scarcely community in the state, however
all hnt fAlt hn
ence of strangers. And yet labor is unusual~
ly scarce In many portions Of the state
crops are neglected and liable to ruin, for the
lack of labor TO attend to them. The casual
observer is frequently at loss to understand
the situation, Jumping at the conclusion that
the unwsnted immigration shouti produce
an abundance of laborcfs-a natural out not
pecesssy conclusion. The peple who are
coming to Texas are neither all capitalists
nor al day laborers. They belong to all
CLASSES and all conditions The presence Of
these people in Texas Ia due primarily TO
single cause, and to this cause &c must
turn to harmonic several sp. aren't
inconsistencies existing between an
increased immigration and de-
creased labor supply. The state, a: q
commonwealth, negatively discouraged I'M
migration, and people took the hint and
Stunned Texas. But railroads came to the
rescue and On the crest of the wonderful
boom came thousands of immigrants. Many
of them came as the necessary ACCESSORIES OF
the vari gus new r0ads, snd all OF them came
because of these roads. Respectable railway
corporations are pioneer corps OF capital,
and where they pave the way ncne need fear
to follow. So when the combined railroad
powers of the country made Texas their
headquarters every industry of the land sent
its volunteers to occupy the territory csptur-
ell by railway ADVANCES.
Another pleasure of a newspaper comes
forward with grstuitous advice to farmers
This time it is the Rusk county News which
says, and say il exceedingly knowingly too
just like it was thoroughly familiar with the
subject:
In some counties in this state tho acreage
in cotton Is reported TO b. four times greater
than it WAS last year. Ii such should DO
general thing all over the south, cotton would
be worth very little, but we ara much IN
hopes that such is nat tie case. Our p ople
arc raising too much cJ.ton for their owJ
good. THIS article at preient is worth from
* To s cents pc- .,e--A wh'la bacon ls sel-
sing at about l. - - -vl-.-,-- the proDa
bilities are that it vii! BE- still higher later in
the season. The farm IS Of this section have
tried it Thoroughly, and they affirm thsl 1t
does not pay to have smoke house II 81;
Louis, but still they plant their cotton and
pay no attention to their hogs, or at leaF
they do not pay enough attention to them
This state of affairs must be brought 10
close before great while, and it had just as
we'll be commenced at one time rs auo.her.
The Brennan Banner noticing tie fact
that furniture mandatory ives about tc
be started in New Orleans, has the following
to say:
Furniture should be manufactured in the
south as cheap as ii is in Cincinnati, which
city now supplies more than half OF
all tho Alleghaney mountains. An
abundance of fine walnut timber
grows in Texas, but instead of its being made
into furniture at home il Is now being cut
ard shipped to European ports; a considera-
bic quantity of II having been shipped from
BRENNAN. Beyond the manufacture OF an
occasional coffin at some on! Of the way
point there is no cabinet work done Ia the
state TO amount to anything, in fact
most of the collins used ARE the
product of northern factories;
ihere is not even coffin factory in the state,
aud perhaps not one in the entire south:
There is, in this state, en- abundance OF all
kinds of timber suitable for The msnufsc-
iure Of furniture, and i; is Il little Astounding
that no effort has been made in thst dlr.e'
ton, and 10 addition to importing hll Of The
furniture used, buggies, carriages, wagons
and wheelbarrows sre imported. Inc south,
and particularly Texas, Il great market for
all articles manufactured in tbs ehst ind in
the north. 1t is not 10 be expected that this
state will become a manufacturing state IN q
day or a year, bot efforts in that direction
Cd 0uld be made; every dollars worth OF
goods made at bome sdds TO the worth OF
tie state BY keeping the money tere instead
of sending iIhw8y.
We have tlws-s considered Terrell one Of
