Texas is making fast and long stride

Texas is making fast and long strides
in progress. The growth Of the state
is extraordinary for the south, and is
only rivaled by some Of the newer COM
monwealths in the far west. The pop.
nlation increased during the decade be-
tween 1870 aud 1880 from SIS, 579, to
/, 591, 749, or at the rate of almost ten pc,
cent a year, and the indications are that
the growth has been even more rapid
since the last census was taken. The
state assessment for 1884 shows gain OF
about $50, OOo,O 900 over that for 1888,
and the total is now nearly $500, 000,-

Harper's monthly Of the government
work now in progress on the dams des'
igned as retaining walls for the great
reservoirs at the headwaters Of the Mis-
sissippi. There are to be seven of these
dams and the principal one at Lake Win.
nebigoshish is already we'll advanced,
work having been prosecuted continu-
ously for eighteen months. It is to be
fourteen feet high--that is, the water
line in the reservoir when filled will be
fourteen feet higher than now. The
river winds among g great succession OF
marshes and now and then spreads out
in broad shallow lakes SO that the back
water from this dam will cover AN i'm
1nense area. The theory is that the res.
ervoirs formed by these dams will be
sufficient to hold or store up great
share Of the rainfall of drainage area
estimated at 7,400 square miles from
November to July l in each year. As
rule the Mississippi below St Paul
falls SO in July that great difficulty is
experienced by steamboatmen, and this
low stage, SC detrimental to navigation,
continues through August, September
and October. It is expected that from
the reservoirs enough water can be dis.
charged to at least double the ordinary
minimum flow for one hundred days and
that at no time du ring the summer will
the stage between st. Paul and Lake
Pepin fall below four. feet when this
system on the upper lakes is completed.

be settled. There was no disposition on the
part of the Republicans TO deny the claims ad
vanced by the Democrats" The Republican
position was thus simply stated: The largest
vote ever cast in New York has been poled. II
exceeds 100000. Out of this immense number
of ballots deposited in thousands Of boxes in six
ty counties of the State it is Gontended that a
plurality of less than l,500 votes has been given.
Mr. Blaiue's friends do not claim an excess Of
that figure. nor do Mr. Cleyeand's. The ques
tion is, who received this pluralityl Thus far
the unofficial figures have failed to satisfactorily
demonstrate it. Both sides have insisted that
the other was beaten and the great body of the
people will have none of such decisions. Tho
question will go to the body that has been le-
gally constituted for just such purposes, and
happily that body is one in which every fair and
reasonable man has the profoundest confidence.
This is the situation too day, and it is that
will be maintained until the question is settled
in an official manner. and to that objection
can be made by man who has the welfare of
his country at heart. Up to o'clock today
there has been no change in the vote of the
State as reported in the morning papers. 1t
then stood with Cleveland's plurality 1,460."

ALBANY, Nov. &-There was no diminution
in the number of coneratulatory dispatches re-
ceived by President-elect Cleveland to-day Col
Lamont, the Governors private secretary, and
several attaches of the office were constantly en-
gagged in arranging messages At least 1000 of
these have been received during the last two or
three days, and they have come from nearly
every State in the Union. The chamber was
thronged with visitors all day and many of
them shook the President elect by the hand
Among the callers was ex-Secretary of the
Treasury Benjamin H. Brstow. The following
letter was received by Governor Cleveland from
William II. Vanderbilt:
Hon. Grover Cleveland:
My Dear Sr-I congratulate you and the people of
the whole country upon your election to the presi-
dency of the United States. You owe your election
in judgment to the fact that the people believed
you to be an honest man, and not to any particular
efforts made by any faction of either the Democratic
or Republican parties. Independent men, who
ties, have made you their choice because they
convinced your administration would not be for
the benefit of any political organization or favored
persons, but for the interests of the whole people
This is just the result which is most desired We
have reached time when party amounts to little The
country is above ALL and wants honest government
by honest men. The belief that will find it in you
has led to your election. Yours very truly.

The Suns Returns.

New YORK, Nov 8-Fhe Sun says zone of
the most remarkable features of this exceeding
ly close and exciting election has been the wide
discrepancies between the various computations
of the result in New York State offered to the
public from different sources. Not only have
both sides claimed plurality for their cand
date but their estmaters have been as much as
Wednesday morning that the result must be
very close, the returns collected by the Sun from
every county in the State have from the first
indicated a small plurality for Cleveland, and
when this has been slowly cut down as corrected
figures have reached us, it seems now to have
change Is likely to be made by further revis-
ion. While the Associated Press returns
from the election districts appear to vary
considerably from the figures we obtained and
to give some countenance to the claim of the Re
publican national committee that Blaine has ear
ried the State by very small plurality, yet we
have so far been unable to discover any reason
for expecting any material change in the result
as shown by our own carefully collected returns
which give Cleveland plurality of BOG in this
State"
