the letter postage rates, leads to the
demand for reduction of the city
postage on ''drop letters from 2 to l
cent, a charge of only 5 cents on $40
orders, and the extension Of the car
rier system to the smaller cities.

ADDRESS OF DIR. WALLET.
DIR. j. W. Mallet, as chairman of the
faculty, responded substantially as
follows:
AS chairman of the faculty of the University
of Texas, desire to state to you, young ladies
and gentlemen, and to the governor and presi-
dent of the board OF regents, that have out a
few words to say. On my own behalf eX-

not select more worthy spokesman than my
self. However imperfectly l may represent

we have been introduced to the people
Of Texas, and for the kind reception extended
to us by the regents, the state officers and the
citizens of Austin. We have been introduced
in a two-fold sense introduced to the people
of Texas, and introduced to the students of The
university. To the people OF Texas we say we
have two requests to make; for the present, to
ask for a reasonable confidence in our honest
purposes; and, for the future, patience. The

respondent was II. NJ. McCarty, now
