al Is admitted that newspaper Is
reflex of the commercial Importance and
prosperity Of town or city," says the
Bandera Bugle. "Strangers glancing
over newspaper with few advertise

where it is published is not progressive,
and in consequence give 1t II wide berth.

II PROBABLY is well for the present
Legislature that Its last hours are SO
near, for the developments made Satur-
day in relation to the Bucket Shop bill
in connection with the members from
Houston and Galveston, would show
that absolute purity was very scarce
article. The discussion resulted In the
dismissal Of Joe NJ. Tryon, Clerk Of the
Judiciary Committee No. /, and the
smirchng Of the characters of few 9TH
ers. This clerk alleged through another
man, that he could prevent certain legs-
lation, and wanted Slj)O for the purpose
pigeon.holing II bill. 1t is unfortu-
nate, possibly, for the people that these
developments come so late, because
there may be other matters that only
need little tlme to develop. But at any
rate the Legislature is to adjourn, and
Texas will be spared repetition Of the
scenes that have made the session very
unpopular one to all the people.
\ TINES reporter had an interview
with Judge A. j. Evans day or two
ago, and in abiding to the habeas cor
pus trial Of leager and others, charged
with completely with the murder of
United States Marshal Gosing, the re-
porter gives Mr.. Evans opinion in the
following peculiar sentence: ale
thought the reason Judge Hurt had been
chosen to try the habeas corpus case at
New Braunfels was that he had made a
reputation for fayoring the defendants
in all appeal cases. Hence he was chosen
in preference to either of the other two"

TnE Galveston News saws. THE
chances for the success Of the proposed
Arkansas road are about equal to the
prospect for deep water at the proposed
Gulf terminus" The News is only pre-.
JUDGED. Deep water at Aransas Pass
will be easy of attainment now, since
the Eads' deep water scheme of Calves
ton and that influence which would
sacrifice tue interest of every port in
Texas, has been punctured. The people
Of the state have been led to suppose
that Galveston was and could be the
only deep water port in the State, but
such is not the fact. The Corpus Christi
Caller published most comprehensive
map of Aransas Pass a couple of weeks
ago, which map is now in the possession
OF the LIGHT, and will be published in
a large addition of this paper in very
lew days, and II Will give much better
idea of the solution of the deep water
problem than all the illiberal views of
the News on the same subject.
