advance sheets purchased under an ar
rangement with the English publish
ers aud Mr.. William Westall, the
most important contribution yet made
to knowledge Of the Russian en-
pire Of to-day. This Is the long-ex-
pected and much-talked-of book of
Stepniak, the Nihilist writer, whose
striking Underground Russia gave
a glimpse of the thoroughness of his
knowledge, and aroused very unusual
expectation as TO the exhaustive work
he was understood TO have In hand.
The book In entitled "Russia Under
the Tzars," and 1t gives such com
plete and clear picture as perhaps no
other hand could furnish. Its revela-
tions are fuller and more startling
than any yet made of the aims and
methods of the government, rs well as
the Nihilists; and the book IL stirring
reading. The extraordinary timeli-
ness of its publication Is of course a
matter Of accident, as the author and
translator have been for some time

ticularly welcome ut a moment when
universal attention Ia fixed upon It's

Of individual opinion, as 1t Is
now when one assumes to decide
between the papers Of ST. Louis, Chi
cago, Louisville and Cincinnati. The
News in all its forty or more years Of
life never made such advancement in
the same length Of time IS has been
seen in interior journals within the
past three years. 1t matters not that
the progress has been made at heavy
loss to individuals-- papers will
live under present or other owners (;
and in any event the advancement of
interior journalism 10 proof OF de-
mand on the part Of interior commu-
mites Those who have lost money in
pushing their papers were spurred on
by the people among whom they lived.
And we repeat: If every interior daily
were to suspend to-day there would
soon arise in the place of each sue
cessor, and. however and by whoever
1t is reached, TIE result will be the
same-in the end there will be several
great newspapers Texas, and no one
of them will be "the paper Of the
state" AS well might ii be ex pected
that some one town would become the
only city, monopolizlDg population,
trade and railroad facilities. We trust
that our esteemed contemporary at
Waco will excuse us for differing with
him, and also for leaving Waco out of
the calculation. The railroad situa-
ton in Texas, and the geographical
location OF Waco, rs well as of Austin,
utterly preclude the establishment of
newspapers that can hope to rank
with those to be built up in tue future
at other points In the state. This
opinion is no reflection on the Exam.

The Pansr Of the State.

Austin, Waco or Dallas will In the
near future publish the paper OF the
state, and 1t ia due to the News ap.
probation of this fact that Lowe il in

| can do no more in Dallas than the
Herald has done, because il has no

aminer.
The idea of 1.-THE paper Of the state"
Is dream Of a visionary. There will
never again, as there has been In the
past, any one newspaper printed in
Texas 30 far in advance OF all contem.
porarles as TO occupy pre.eminence un-
questioned. In the expression of this
opinion, TEE GAZETTE has no refer.
ence, whatever, to any journal now
existing, but reaches the conclusion by
common-sense view OF the field, and
OF the conditions of Texas growth
and development. 1t goes without
saying that the Galveston News is the
leading newspaper Of the state. The
Galveston News is the leading news
paper, in the sense that 1t Is the Oldest
daily paper with one exception),
that 1t is the best-known and most
prominent paper because of its long
time monopoly of daily journalism,
that II Ia the most ably edited paper,
and that 1t is regarded as the most
iimly established. The circulation
OF the News is but little In excess of
that of two or three other dailies in
Texas, and 1t is very doubtful IL the
News has particle more OF influence
or popularity than those other
papers referred TO. 1t may
also be said for the News that 1t prints
more news matter than any other
daily, though It is very seldom that
the Galveston paper contains an inn
portant item OF news not printed on
the same day by the newspapers Of all
the large interior towns; and It is by
no means a rare case that the News ia
''scooped" by interior journals. We
believe the situation is fairly stat. d
when We say the News is the leading
paper Of Texas, more because of the
past than of the present or future.
But no one paper will ever again
enjoy the distinction once monopoiIzed
by the News. Were the papers OF Dial.
las, Fort Worth, San Antonio and
Houston utterly destroyed to-day,
there would arise from the ruins
OF each successor, because OF the
loealism in Texas towns, which is but
the outgrOwth Of actual DEVELOPMENT
and reasonable expectations. When
the field is fairly and intelligently sur.
Veyed, 1t must be seen that no one
paper can become "the paper of the
state" There will be four or five
great papers in Texas-p perhaps more,
and that before many years. 1t may
be that some one OF them will be su-
perior to all the Others, but it is more
than probable that the question Of SUI
perioiiiy win be simply matter

AN abandonment OF her present
strategic position by Russia would be
attended with enormous expense uu.
necessarily incurred unless with q
view 10 hostlitIes. She can gain
nothing by delay, for credit would not
be more easily obtained. She knows
that England will gain materially by
postponement, because all her re-
served materials have been exhausted
by the campaign in Egypt, and her
reserve men, although called out, are
not ct IN condition to enter the field.

THE diplomacy with which, 81

in that GAZETTE telegram yesterday,

with Turkey, by which the latter will
allow English vessels to pass through
the Dardauelles in the event Of war.
In return for this favor Turkey will be
allowed to send an expedition TO oc-
cupy the Soudan by way OF Suakim,
and England will restore Cypress to

The Colorado Clipper furnishes adj
ditional proof of the agricultural
adaptsbility of West Texas. The
Clipper says; 1--WE understand
that on the Texas & Pacific
experimental farm at Lorraine, ten
miles east Of Colorado City, 100
pounds of seed cotton were realized
from one acre last year, and but little
attention given the cotton in its culti-
walton We were talking TO Col. r.
III. Griffin this week on the subject OF
cotton culture in this county. The
colonel is an old Mississippi cotton
farmer, and knows perhaps as
much about it as any man in
the etate, and he gives 1t as his
opinion that there is no better high
land country for cotton in the United
States than West Texas. He says the
cotton worm has never been seen in
this portion Of the country, and thinks
that they will not be likely to come,
owing to the elevation of the country.
