appropriation proposed w.lhou, further
proposition looking TO an iaoreAse, the rid
iculous salary Of 500 year for such char
acler OF men aud OF work as the enterprise
will require, Is something 30 at Variance
with the otherwise hignesi Of Texas that
Il would create smlle II Il did not Induce
disgust. The m, mber does not seem to rlse /
a. all squal TO the importance OF
the occasion. This great state
Is tecmIag with oil manner OF
attractions to the capitalist aud 10 the la !
borer, Tho exposition at New Orleans T.
ono Of tie most fortunate ss well a. IN
usual opportunities ever offered 10 she
country aud tho several states -
Set forth what they ars, 70 the country,
20 10 second only IN significance and value
90 the Philadelphia centennial To the
south AZ this iuno,urs Il is equal u not
up0rior 90 that event, Those
states will have the most er.raordi
nary Of facilities 10 present TO the world
VIVA, the world has never kuowE OF them
before. Texas can lead the van, add shine
out the bright particular star, the observed
OF all observer, n We shall 90 decree H.
Never was another state blessed with such
infinite variety OF the good things OF th'a
earth, whether we consider hey c.lma'e,
her soil with sll i,s Diverse productions,
uueTcslled OF quality and quantity
whether In the grazing or agricultural line.
Never did another state possess more man
uiac, uring facilities, while she Is full ofmin
eral wealth OF all sorts. Railways pormeato
her entire area for the transportation OF
all these products. Real estate men, mer.
chants, manufactures, miners, transport
orr, all, al are most vitality interested.
Aud shall all this be neglected? snallit be
m 'sorably represented bya close, niggardly
course that would be a shame 10 even tho
poor,s. Of the southern sisters?
Another thing: Texas 10 not only ahead
I'm the things indicated, bat she is infinitely
better conditioned financially than any Of
th, states to be liberal 90 thus aiding
herself. and It would be o burning
shame and disgrace TO see the ponny-wise-
and.pound-'oolish policy prevail, or even
20 intimate that such a thing Is possible.
Texas was almost wholly neglected AZ the
Cen,ennial her begsarly, misery exhibit
was a laughing stock. Had It not been for
the timely brilliant, bold effort Of GOV
EEYoE HUBBARD and the adroit manner In
which he secured hearing, and distrlbu'
ton Of his splendid speech throughout the
country, Texas would have sunk there
into unknown insignifcanoe. Kansas
was there in full blast, ana
thus secured national and
international advertisement, aud as q con-
sequence the census Of 1880 showed her to
lead all the other states In proportionate
increase Of population.
Every one thousand dollars judiciously
expended Tor Texas at the Worlds Exposi.
ton will bring tens of thousands into the
state, aud oil sections OF IL will feel the
throbbing benefits. Let the legislature risa
equal to the hour. Appropriations from the
general revenue may not be constitutional
but over $50 600 are in sight outside OF tina,
source. Enact law that will at least al
low OF its use, and even more from cons,i'
tutional directions, and don't restrict the
sum to the one source alone Of beggarly
$500 sum. The governor, lleute nant-
governor, speaker OF the house, are al
fully alive to the intense importance Of
this great occasion.
