q THOU great and gracious legisla-
ture, which hast the fate of these thy
humble people in thine own good
hands; who looks upon us from affair
with weather eye and watches our
trembling like unto n leaf moved by u
norther; thou which hast the power
to grant us good things or the evils
which do accompany a lunatic asylum;
thou which can administer to our
wants, from n supreme court to u calA-
boose for imbcciles; which can place us
In the constellation of dignitaries or

beseeoh n considcrate estimate of our
applications, and beg thee to give the
asylum to our nelghbor Dallas, and
thereby place ii in that congcnial at.
mosphere which will lend so much to
its hcalthtulncss and prosperity. Thou
knowest that NIL things IN the ami

earth do languish and die
out OF their sphere, and in the spirit
OF genuine charity we ask thee to
shower thy tender mercles on thy
suffering creatures OF Dallas who so
much need thom, We recognize thy
goodness ia all things, and sincerely
thank thee forall that has been done
for us in the past, and out of the
fullness of our hearts we rejoice;
but do not in our rejoicing forget
our suffering neichbor, and humhly
ask thee TO give II thy blessing and
raise II from the slough of despond-
ency, by sending TO it's bosom its
homeless and wandering brothers
In tho distribution OF thy
f,vors, we feel that we have received
our share, but our neighbour pines and
wants for comfort. We do not feel
That we have the liberty of debating to
thee, but beg 10 humhly suggest that
this retreat be placed in the neighbour
hood of tho Heraid Office. SO that its
languor may be revived by an inti-
mate association with kindred spirit.
These things we ask in the charity OF
our hearts, and that charity which
pervades the hearts of all thy obcdlent
servants.

The Educational Land Department


House bill No. 10, introduced By Mr..
ROBERTSON Of Williamson, and which
Is said to embody the ideas of Commits
sioner WALSH upon the manner and
form OF disposing of the school lands Of
the state, has been received and exam
ined. 1t is entitled, IA bill to be en-
titled an act to create and organize the
educational land department of the
state of Texas, and to provide for the
classification, sale and lease of the uni
versity, public free school and asylum
lands of the state of Texas, and to pro-
vide for the sale and protection
of the timber growing thereon,
and to preserve and protect the mines
and minerals thereon" a careful ex-
animation Of the bill develops one
fact that should insure its defeat. II
constitutes another and separate de
( partment, subordinate and dependent
upon the existing land d1Aartment-
entailing upon tho state the expense
OF maintaining q separate department

! acted in the present land department.
by the employment of the four addi-
tional clerks, which the bill provides
for the new department. This would
save the state the enormous ex-
pense involved in TRANSPORTING and
making copies of all the maps, files
and papers in the land department for
the use of the new department. The
bill also constitutes the governor, at
torney-general, commissioner of the
general land office, the comptroller
| and treasurer, a board to be known ma
the Educational Land Board who
are charged wi tn the duty of advising
and controlling the action of the COM
missioner of the educational land de-
/ partment, and are court OF last resort
in all appeals arising from the action
OF the said commissioner
which in the judgment of
tho GAZETTE would hardly bear the
test of judicial inquiry from u consti-

For the information Of those who
do not know the fncts concerning the
city bonds recently sold in New York
md the purpose of them, together
with the interest to be paid on them,
the GAZETTE will state that these
bonds were issued for the sole purpose
of constructing II city sewerage and
improving the streets, and can be used
for no other purpose. The water works
belong TO aprivate corporation granted
the privilege of constructing them and
n franchise covering thirty years. The
city has nothing whatever to do with
the water works or the gas works.
Both belong to private corporations.
IL has been publicly announced that
the fact that the city can dis
pose of five per cent bonds
at ninety-nine cents, etc. The bonds
are not five per cent bonds, but are
seven per cents. These matters do
speak well for the city, but the facts
should be presented correctly and
the public not misled, There has
been great deal said in regard to the
division of the third ward. The pub
lie should remember that there is u
provision In our charter which for
bids the rodistricting OF the city or
division of any parts of IL
within ninety days before
the regular municipal election.
The next election will occur within
that time and consequently no di-
vision can bo had before the third of
April next, The wisdom of such a
provision can he seen ut n glance, and
Ii is unnecessary to allude to II here.
The growth of the city and increase in
population will demand an ncrea SO In
tho number of wards at an early dry,
but ID il useless to discuss the matter
just now. The city authorities recog-
nize these necessities and will, of
course, attend to them at the proper
time.

who wish to attend the state meeting,

hailed with great pleasure. This man
Is one OF the ablest and shrewdest
managers in commercial and business
affairs in the United States, and has
the faculty Of looking far into the flu
turc concerning such things. Hethinks
the most extravagant expectations Of
every one con cerning the prosperity of
the West, will be surpassed. He bases
his opinion on the vast flow Of emlgra-
ton into the thinly settled portions OF

conclusions and the GAZETTE feels
gratlfied that Mr.. SAGE should take

will probably be advanced by some,
that his large railroad and stock inter
csts would lead him to make this
statement for selfish purpose can
not maintain. When II Is considered
thatnearly II million Of people land in
America annually, 1t must be at once
admitted that the prospect is certainly
very bright. 1t is well known that
but few of these foreigners stop in the
New England states, and the Southern
states get scarcely any OF them. In
fact nearly all the Southern states are
being daily depopulated by the tide of
immigration which flows into Texas,
Colorado and the far West. The adj
vance of railroads into the
wilds of the frontier and
the daily investment of East
ern capital in stock and grazing
lands, the consequent advance IN cat
tie and improvement of the breed by
the importation of booded stock, the
immense and countless herds of sheep
grazing ON the unlimited ranges Of un
cultivated praries and the improve

timbered lands Of the state, point to II

watt of the hand and a
dive into the treasures which lie
within the grasp of the courageous.
Mr.. SAGE is correct in his views and
if others with ny much penetration as
he, would investigate and give the
public the benefit of these researches,
the advent Of this period of prosperity
could be placed in the very near
| future.
