THE cotton crop all over the countyr
will, with good picking season, aggre-
gate more bales than it did last year.
According to government investigations
the yield in Texas will average less than
that of any other of the cotton States,
but the rains of the past two or three
weeks have greatly improved the pros
poets in many sections OF this state and
may increase the general average. 1t is
yet too early in the season to speculate
very closely on the probable prices that
will be paid for the now crop, but there
is an impression prevalent among buy
ers and consumers in the East that they
will not be above those of last year and
may be much under. The cotton pros
poets in other countries will have much
to do with establishing prices in Amer

If brought to such Il point of starva-
ton, I think the unfortunate men
would have been thoroughly justified in
doing SO. 1t may be before he died ks
lingbury was forced to do likewise. 1t
Is, to say the least, cruel to crticise in
the manner that has been done the I'M
fortunate party on its return from the
horrors of their exile. The friends of
Lieut.. Kislingbury made a sad mistake,
in my Judgment, when they permitted
the body to he exhumed." He states
that the relations of Greedy and Kis-
lingbury were most cordial, and the
stories to the contrary unjust and un-
true. Tho basis of his belief in this is
conversations with different survivors.

THE Galveston News cannot feel very
well content with itself just at this time.
After trying in every way for months,
II could not induce single gentleman
in all the broad lands Texas to contest
the nomination of IRELAND for Governor
at the Houston convention. II will of
course give the Governor its support
after the nomination is made, but it will
not be jealous in his cause. The News is
an excellent newspaper,a and works faith
fully for the Interests of Galveston, but
il cannot control the politics ofthe State,
or influence the success or defeat of any
man at its bidding. Its right to support
or oppose any man for Office is not de
MED, but It is believed by many that II
carried it's opposition to IRELAND to ex.
tremes, and in inconsequence. did the
-Governor but little harm with the peo
pie.

THE more the people study it the

the masses of the people. Wherever
both sides are discussed the people de-
clare for the lease law. We predict that
the lease system will rot only be re-
tanned by the Legislature, but that the
price will be advanced, and that in four
years the revenue from this source will
run the schools of the State, and the
settlement Of the country will not be in
terfered with. The people begin to see
that all this hue and cry about mono
pohes and actual settlers is made by the
cattle syndicates. The same Legisla-
ture that set down on the land monop-
oily system created the lease system.

THE authorities in Fort Worth have
entered proceedings to put an end to
gambling in that city. OF course there
will at first be a resistance to the laws
being enforced by those who believe
they are acting for the best business in
terests of that city, but the experience
of other cities demonstrates clearly that
when the matter is once agitated pro-
ceedings will not stop until the evil is
abolished. When the officials of Dallas
county inaugurated measures TO close
the gambling houses in this city, many
of our best citizens from business
point of view doubted the pToprety of
the step, and endeavored 20 dissuade
the authorities from the course they
were pursuing; but prosecutions We're
continued, and to-day there is not a
place whore gambling is practiced III
Dallas, nor is there a gentleman here
who opposed the adjustment OF gam
bling houses who would now favor theil
restoration. Fort Worth, Austin, Hous
ton. Galveston and San Antonio will ac
wisely by quietly submitting to the in
evitable, for public gambling will sooI
- be laid aside with the things of the pas
). in Texas. And the same doom await
