THE HOUSTON POST.

The special edition-Texas and North
Meyico-of the Houston Post, bearing
date of March lst, is before us. Those
who read it Will find, as We now state,
that it is the most comprehensive and
in every way valuable newspaper ever
printed in Texas. It is a veritable jour
nalistic encyclopedia of the subjects it
proposes to treat. The information fur
nished about this state and the sister
republic of Mexico would, if put in book
form, make quite a3respectable sized vol
ume. When we reflect that this is all
brought within the compass OF a single
no sentiment bat that or va, G,ldliaS dhaye

ceived and has successfully accom-
pished such "a piece of enterprise. The
work may safely challenge criticism and
the man who wants To know all about
Texas can be enlightened by this issue
Of the Post Every topic, Of value or

doubt If there is more accurate one in
existence. We cannot, with the brief
space at orr disposal, essay more than
this general notice, but must indulge in
detailed reference from time to time
hereafter. We take occasion 30 say how
ever that this number of the Post ought
to be sent broadcast over the
union and Europe. 1t viii work won

Hereafter it can be said of Kentucky
that she produces something else beside
pretty women, fast horses and bourbon
whisky. She has produced an evungel-
ist who can double discount Brother
Moody and more than treble discount
our own Brother Penn. This Kentucky
snatcher of brands is the Rev. G. o.
Barnes. He not only saves the soul, but
cures the body. A Louisville dispatch
says that in the last FIVE years no less than
23,489 confessions OF faith have been
made to him, and a great many sick
people have been restored to health
through his prayers and amounting with

The Galveston News is authority for
the statement that at the coming state
convention Galveston will not present
an aspirant tor any position on the state
ticket-she is even devoid of congress
lonal hankerinss. Tire Island City is
wise IN her day and generation. She
wants deep water more than she wants
offices, and 10y keeping her citizens out
of contests she wins the friendship of all
the ofiice-holders, especially members
ofcongress. The result is she gets ap
every year, and slowly but
surely the goal of her desires-twenty
odd feet of water-is being attained.

the ditch from the top
of one embankment to the other
we must confess, gets ahead of US.
We simply give this extract to point
out the careless wording of our laws
which should be unmistakable in
their language. The fact of the
business is that the portion quoted
gives a firstclass opportunity for a
bubble and difficulty, should that
point ever be called IN questi n, and
it is very likely to be. The banks of
canals crossed t.y fords are contInu-
ally breaking and cutting down. The
roads in the vicinity are frequently
flooded, and the question as to the
fulfillment of the laws by the cana
companies will sooner or later come
up. The provisions of the law with
regard 10 fording on canals are in
adequate. Teu inches of loose rock
on a sharp bank permeatcd with
water will not, cannot be of sufficient
resistance 10 keep the wheels of
heavily loaded wagons from break
ing through and thus allow the water
to pour out into the road. The law
needs rcmodeling, and needs it badly.

Two things need the attention of
the coming Legislature that are of
general interest to the whole Terri
tory, that in fact take in the soul and
body of our Territorial life. The
first is a Bureau of Mines and Min
ing, whence would issue certain, au-
thentic information from every part
of the Territory concerning her
mines. The next want is Bureau
of immigration, whence could be
derived like information respecting
our agricultural lands. These two
institutions could be conducted with
but small expense to the Territory
and their assistance in her develop
ment would be inestimable. A Bu-
reau of Mines and Mining would cut
off the business of mining sharks
and place mining property where it
belongs-upon its own resources
protecting the valuable and relegat-
ing what is worthless to its own
worthlessness.

TX our laws on roads and high
ways occurs the following passage
intended as an explanation of how
the crossing of ditch, canal or ace
quia-all three terms are used in the
law to designate the same things
to be maintained: From the bot
tom of the ditch in the roadway there
shall be uniform rise of not mere
than one foot in three to the top of
the embankmsnt, either side the
ditch shall be graveled or macada-
mixed with stone to depth of not
less than ten inches from the top of
one embankment to the other" etc
We have given the law as it stands
in the statute, punctuation and all,
and if any man can swear positively
as to what those directions command
to be done in the premises, all we
have to say is that he has been In
the county several years longer than
ourselves A man can guess at what
is meant, but further than that the
thing Is badly mixed. EITHER side
