MR.. REA0AN's PATRIOTISM. q
N Tho State of Texas Is hardly aware

manship of tho Hon. John H. Reagan.
I'VE do not know Mr.. Reagan person
billy, but every cl!izon OF tho United
States, OF any Intelligence, is familiar
with bis nation nj reputation. A letter
of Mr.. Reagan'a, ia 1857, shows win
|'what readiness no took hold OF the
|suggestlon 70 induce the Federal gov
fernment 10 remove th9 TeXas lnulans
on to the reserve In the weatern part
of tho Chickasaw country. This TO-.
moval was effected two years after the
date OF that letter, and muat have been
lsrgely attributable TO the efforts of
Mr.. Reagan. This, az On isolated case,
would bs worthy OF remombrance, buI
would not have called ont this tribute
TO him but for tho fact that so many
Incidental services Of Mr. Reagan
crop out now and then, in tho papers
of the State, that The Statesman takes
pleasure in reminding iss readers OF
Mr.. ReggRu's active patriotism IN,

100 LET ALL PULL TOGETHER. >-.u-
Why these petty jealousies aboutthe'
point on the gulf where Texas will be
tapped by q deep water outlet? IL Ia a
mater OF vital Importance TO the State
at large. and as every Sensible person
recognizes this fact, the matter should
be referred to q coomitleo &C.
loctsd with a view TO their &c
quaintanre with the Importance OF
the subject and an unbiased desire to
promote the interests OF tho whole
State and not subservient TO local in
forests. There ia not a point along the
whole coaat, however louch 1t desires
deep water, but would recognize the
great good accruiug from deep water
at any point. 1t wonld seem natural
that point near tie middle of the
gulf coast would be the best at prss-
Ont; and after one outlet had bean
thus obtainod ana the good results
seen, other outlets could be made.
This preaeni petty plan OF pulling
against esch osher, tia clashiDg OF To-
cal Interests, will do moro 20 cast u
wet blanket on the whole enterprise
than tho most hoai!l9 opposition -

pIsCoUBTESY TO THE PRESS.
The Dallas Democrat is shabby lit

burro. 1t turns its head towards the
gulf and "ys-aws" as follows:-[Gal-

ness of the estate Pross" of the Gal

papers Of tho State are in bad taste.
There is neither wit nor humor in
styling newspaper q shabby little
paper" but there is deal OF discour-
tesy in the remark. 1t is still more
discourteous to say q paper "brsys
like Mexican burro." The nowsps-
pers of Texas should show the proper
resentment of the discOurteay and au-
perciliousness OF the Galveston News

the efforts Of the Dsllas papers to

PATRICIANs VS.. pLEBIANs.

coined to pay off all the United States

oEscENE LITERATURE.
The Tribune may be branded as
fanaticsl in its opposition to aenra-
tionsl literature, but we care not W hat
may be said, IL we can only induce the
people to refrain from pa.ronizing
such literature and spur the officers ON
to do their duty. There is federal
law against sending obscene matter
tho mails and it should be
enforced Alexander Tribune.
