1t was an erroneous impression,
that Bryan was a candidate for the
state university. 1t has never been
an aspirant, and the report origin
ated from a facetious communica-
ton to the Houston Post. The
Pilot favors Austin, and says: "We
call attention of our readers to the
cogent reasons set forth in the well
written address of the citizens of
Austin in favor of locating the state
university at the capital. 1t will
puzzle Waco or Fort Worth or any
other aspirant for the location to
furnish better reasons in its behalf"
b The STATESMAN begs to assure the
.Neacs, Post Herald and Others that
it intends no reflection upon them
by areprinting the following
from the Fort Worth Democrat !:
."rhe Dallas Gazette has made its
appearance as a morning paper, con-
tanning the full associated press re-
port, and special dispatches. The
Gazette will not be Republican in
disguise, under the name of Inde-
pendent, but will be an unadulter-
ated Republican journal"
A new field for the prohibition
workers is pointed out by the Waco
Examiner. 1T says; "We observe
some statistics going the rounds
tending to show the preFalence OF
opium eating in the United STATES.
1t is estimated that in some OF the
states three persons out Of every
one hundred are addicted to the
habit. Here is serious work for the
prohlbitionists, for if this estimate is
even approximately correct, opium
is doing as much harm as Whiskey,
and vastly more than beer could do
if it was used by the entire popQla-
ton"
The Fort Worth Democrat favors
the sectional ideas originally put
forth by the Dallas Herald, in regard
to the location Of the state univer'
sity, but declines TO lose the good
opportunity to give its rival
thrust. 1t saws: "The suggestion
of the Enterprise to bold q conven'
ton to secure united action on the
university is timely-ibut the place
was not wisely chosen. If theEe j.
anything more than another, thsi
would be calculated to convince tht
people that the university ought te
be located in North Texas, it would
be visit TO Dallas in July"

AN examination of official data
shows that there were exported from
the cotton belt via gulf ports 2,200,7
$50 bales during 1879 and 2,503, 104
bales during 1880. There were ship
ped via South Atlantic ports in the
states of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia 1855, 100
bales during 1879. aud 2,064,171
bales during 1880; and there were
shipped overland by rail across the
Ohio and Upper Mississippi rivers,
S7O,959 bales during 1879, and l, 1884,
OO4 bales during 1880. The increase
of shipments via gulf ports was
about IS per cent; via South Allan
tic ports about IL per cent, and via
the overland route about 81 per cent.
The increase in the number of bales,
however, was in round numbers
$4,000 for the gulf ports, 205, 600 for
South Atlantic ports, and 263, 900 for
the overland route.

1T is said that the advocacy on the
part of the Republican press
of the Republican coalition with
Malone and his Virginia ticket, is
becoming most embarrassing to the
administration at Washington. The
truth is, Mr.. Garfield has been car
rying water on both shoulders. He
has led.the Republican office-holders
cf Virginia to believe he would have
nothing to do with this affair, and
he has told several Virginia Demo
Gratis that he would not in
terfere in behalf of sMahone,
and yet il is now known at WASH
Iington that the President is aiding
the Readjusters in their schemes. In
the mean time honest Republicans
at the north are becoming suprenely
disgusted at the humiliating position
in which the President is placing his
party, and their dissatisfaction at
all that now transpires will soon
convince them. that the best thing
for the country is to allow this gov
erning party to accomplish its own
destruction, which is begun 49,

The Illustrated Christian Weekly
gives q startling instance of the man
ner in which the pestilent seed sown
by the "boys' papers" is taking root:
A New York policeman, Oh his
rounds al 2 o'clock one night, met
three little boys marching along in
Indian file. One was seven years
old, another twelve, and the other,
who was thirteen, had two six-bar-
rel revolyers, some ammunition and
copies OF sensational weekly papers.
The second boy lad one six-barrel
revolver and several cakes of plug
tobacco, and the youngest had his
revolver, a. large clasp knife, and
1852. They had run away from
their homes In Worcester, Massa-
chusetts, where the youngest boy
had stolen $12 from a store In which
he was o messenger; that he had
paid their fair to the city. They
confessed that they had left their
homes for the purpose ofgoing west

THE Republicans of New Hamp-
shire evidently fear the Democrats
may next year carry that state and
control the legislature. On that ac-
count the legislature, now in session.
and Republican as regards numbers,
wants to go into a senatorial election
for Senator Rollins successor. Roll
lins5term will not expire until 1883,
but a new legislature viii be elected
next year, and the Republicans fear
it win be Democratic. Hence the
anxietytoo make sure of the sena-
torship for Republican until 1889.
The supreme cenrt oEthe state has
been invoked for an. opinion to
legaIize such election.
