POSSIBILITIES OF WEST TEXAS.

The reports of the grass commissioners
of Texas have opened the eyes of many
persons who are about changing their
base of operations.
West and northwest Texas feel the
effects of this immigration more than
other sections.
This report has lifted the veil and dis
closed the great possibilities that await
alone for development.
Livings, yes fortunes, are awaiting the
advent of those ready to pluck them.
There is no doubt of the fact that the
land in Texas is the most generous in the
world; whoever has farm of the rich
lands this st ate is noted for, has a for
tune at his hands if he but digs for it.
The more this land is worked the richer
it gets, and artificial fertilization of soil is
thing unknown in Texas.
People begin to realize the great future
that awaits this state and are Fastening to
connect themselves with country des-
tined to be so great. 1t is only after the
general interest has been stimulated by
something similar to the grass commits
sioners' reports that the attention is di-
rected to the great steps Texas is taking
TO the front.
If the veil could be uplifted from the
future and Texas could be shown AS she
will be, no inducement would be necessary
to attract settlers other than the grand
picture thus presented.
But it is not alone from an agricultural
standpoint that our state is superlatively
great.
Beneath the broad expanse of prairies

MORE DYNAMITE THREATENED.

In this mornings London dispatches II
is announced that the British government
is taking extraordinary precautions
against dynamiters. Guards at the prin-
cipal public buildings have been doubled.
and unusual> police activity everywhere
prevails. This indicates the belief of the
London authorities that the threats of
the Irish extremists to inaugurate another
dynamite campaign, similar to the one a
year ago, the period of the Westminster
explosion, have been made in serious
earnest and will be attempted to be car
ried out. These threats are in conse-
quence of that portion of the queens
speech in the house of lords, day or two
ago, referring to the Irish question and
which has incensed the violent sections OF
the Irish party. Another dynamite cru
SADIE, carried on by secret assassins of the
invincible school, in which, as at West
minister, women and children are to be
the victims, is too full of horror not to
deserve Il universal condemnation of the
civilized world. Such renewal of the
principle of wholesale murder of inno-
cent victims will do more to damage the
Irish cause than any course that could be
pursued The best policy of the Parnell-
ties, if they wish to retain the respect of
mankind, would be to continue to dis
countenance and denounce any completely
with men not as good as the secret mid
night assassin who seeks to take one life,
while the dynamiters would make it
wholesale matter.

THE SILVER ISSUE.

The drift of events at the present SEES,
sion of congress, so far, indicate that the
question of the stoppage of the silver
coinage will continue to overshadow even
the great question of the tariff until a
definite settlement is had. Indeed. the
silver question is now one of the leading
issues before the people as it is in CON
gress. The tariff issue for the time be-
ing is comparatively forgotten in and out
OF the balls Of congress, and discussion
Orthat issue seems to be suspended pend
ing discussion on the silver issue. Those
who have closely read the debates and
proceedings in congress for the last week
or two will see the profound interest
with which the question is
treated and regarded by our
representatives now in congress,
who seem imbued with the paramount inn
portance of the subject and an issue so
inevitably connected with the pockets of
the people. In the senate some of the
aDleSt lntellectS OF tne country are warm
ing up to the contest. From our own
state Coke and Maxey have delivered their
views, which have commanded the respect
and attention of the senate and of the
country. On the same side Senator Teller
has also presented his ideas, while Beck of
Kentucky, is regarded, in some sort, as
the leader of the silver party and has
aligned under his banners prominent
and representative men in both the dem
ocratic and republican parties. On the
anti-silver side an array of ability equally
brilliant appears, and Morrill, and Others
including democrats and republicans
are leading the charge in the senate, and
in their ranks and under the anti-silyer
banners, are enlisted no less parsonage
than the president of the United States
himself, and the secretary of the treasury.
How the contest is to end is not absolute
lY certain, though the silver men claim a
large majority in the house, at least.

and mountain ranges, Nesting in the
bosom OF the earth which seems loath to
part with her treasure, lie vast mineral
resources, awaiting the hand of man to
develop them.
Iron, coal and other minerals. and even
the precious metals, are known to exist.
Before gold was discovered in California
who suspected the vast treasure there, and
why should not the same metal be found
in abundance here?
West Texas is surrounded on all sides
by gold producing countries, Mexico, Cal
ifornia, New Mexico and Arizona.
and why should she be skipped
by nature in her generous endowment
with great treasures.
Investigation and development are all
that are needed, and it will not be long be-
fore our mineral resources will be the
standing wonder of the world. This is
not prophecy, but a fact based upon re-
cent discoveries made by accident.

WEEKLY STATESMAN.
MUNICIPAL PROGRESS.

When traveller first visits a city o.
town, he looks around him, and, from tn,
evidences of thrift or the reverse sizes NJ
the inhabitants.
The people make a country state, anc
fortiori city in which they reside and
hence it behooves those who really have
the welfare of their cities and towns al
heart to see to it that they are not behind
the times.
When thoughtful man, on entering a
city, sees progressive ideas adopted, as
evidenced by manufactures buildings,
street railways, and all those improve
ments seen only in cities where energy
and push are appreciated, he forms an
opinion, which is apt to be lasting one,
to the credit of that place.
If such is the case, and undoubtedly it
is, too much attention cannot be given to
public improvements. Every dollar spent
in public improvement by the city at large
increases in value private property ten
fold the amount which that property had
to pay for such improvement.
The citizens of Austin are not in
clined to give these matters the careful
consideration their importance merits.
If a man owned valuable piece OF
property with Objectionable surroundings,
il would be hard to reaize its full value,
and if the owner really desired to sell he
would attempt to improve the surround
ings for every dollar thus spent enhances
the value of his property two fold. Thus
il is in the cities and towns, if all the i'm
provements arc up with the times, and
progress is seen indelibly written upon
every public enterprise in our midst, it
is not long before the fruits are reaped.
Austin is par excellence finely endowed
by nature, but nature must not be allowed
to labor alone; art, combined with bust
ness tact and energy must be co-laborers
with nature.
If one step forward is taken, looking to
permanent improvement, other steps soon
follow as natural consequence, and one
is surprised to see now easily the ball is
kept rolling when it is once started.
Public parks may appear prima facie
to be for ornament alone and philoso.
piers of the unitarian school may re-
gard them as nOnsensical and useless, hut
the man of progressive ideas is not fooled
by such captious objections; he looks be-
low the surface and secs the great useful
ness of public improvements of this
kind.
The people of Austin are ms progressive
as those of any city in the country and
the only thing required is that their views
may crystalline into good plan for car
rying them out Make our beautiful city
what she deserves to be and there will be
no use offering any other inducements for
settlers to come; the city itself is induce
ment enough.

ADVERTISING PAYS.

THERE is a world of wisdom in what the
Texas Northwest says:
The Dallas Times tells word of truth
when it says: 1T is curious and very
significant fact that the most enterprising
advertisers in Dallas las elsewhere) are
the most prosperous traders. Some men
say i can't afford to ADVERTISE as if it
were n luxury or a charity. 1t is an es-
sential part of business, and brings back
its own -eturns. The man who has goods
to sell and does not advertise is correctly
satirized in the New Testament as the
man who had talent and buried it. The
talent was there but nobody knew it,
1t is also significant fact that those
who once commence advertising on a large
scale keep it up. If it did not pay them
there must be Il powerful argument of
some kind which is beyond our ken.
THE man who runs may read" and the
man who adyertises reaps the fruits of his
outlay.
A great many men, wise in other bust
ness matters, cannot understand the value
of sowing for future harvest. If an ad-
vertisement does not pay Immediately,
then advertising don't pay" they say,
and if this same spirit of present profits
alone were the instigation of every
scheme many entcrpr SEES would never be
commenced.
One of the reasons for the extinction
of the aboriguiues of this country was that
they would not appreciate the advantages
of any thing that time alone developed.
Wise and judicious advertising may not
pay to-day or tomorrow, or even this
month, but, that it will pay, eventually,
the handsomest profits, lisa fact which is
incontrovertible.

REPUBLICAN CHEEK.

Since the very day of its birth the re-
publican party has been as remarkable for
cheek as it has been for its revolutionary
and centralizing tendencies. Until it was
driven from power by the people in the
election of Cleveland, bloated with the
excuses of unrestrained power, it has
stickled at nothing that offered an oppor
tunity of aggrandizing itself or its follow
ers or promised revenge on its oppo-
nents. Even now, when the popular
voice has pronoun, ed against its further
lease of power in the federal government,
it cannot leave its old tricks. Its
latest display of cheek and offensive in
termeddling has been the movement among
republican senators to demand of the
president of the United States his reasons
for the removal of republican officials.

TWO REPRESENTATIVE MEN

The spicy tilt in the house on Friday
between Wise, of Virginia and Boutelle
of Maine, was not merely sharp and per
tinent dialogue between couple OF
prominent gentlemen on the floor of the
hOuse,but it was a sort of typical collOquy
wherein the two great sections of the
country, or at least, the two opposing
parties in those sections found utterance
That Mr.. Boutelle, hailing from the same
state as the late republican candidate for
the presidency, and from whence have
emanated many of the calumnies against
! the southern states, pretty thoroughly
represented the sentiments and opinions
of the more extreme and reckless wing of
the northern republican party, will not be
doubted. II will also be admitted that
Mr.. Wise, on the occasion referred to,
represented not only the feelings and
opinions of his own state, but the entire
south. In Fridays debate it was allotted
to Mr.. Wise to bring to grief another
piece of republican trickery, nice little
scheme for manufacturing political capital
and stirring up anew the pre-
JUDGES of the northern people, Mr.
Boutelle championed the canard that at
the Norfolk navy yard certain inscriptions
on captured confederate cannon. com
memOratiye of federal victory, had been
erased by order of officers under demo
cratic administration; that union sol
diers had been removed from the
Norfolk navy yard and their places sup
piled by men whose only title rested on
services rendered on the confederate side
during the war. The whole thing was
cunningly devised, as used to be bogus
ku-klux stories, to kindle northern senti.
ment and sympathy at the ex-
pense of our own section. But
Mr.. Wise SO thoroughly exposed the false
hood of the whole story about the defaced
tablets, ana the ousted junion soldiers,
that his Maine antagonist could make no
reply. The declaration of Mr.. Wise that
the union soldier, on whose removal from
Norfolk navy yard Boutelle so dolefully
harped, had never been within a thousand
miles of battle field, was most fortu-
nate refutation of a Islander on the pres
ent administration, unjust and uncalled
for, and concocted to suit the purposes of
the republican leaders in and out of con
gress. As it is, the Norfolk navy yard
canard, so far from raising sympathy for
the republican outs has been, under
Mr.. Wises timely treatment,
made boomerang which cause its orig
inators to feel sorry for the pains they
have taken thus falsely to asperse the ad-
and imputing to it motives
which Mr. Wise has clearly proven did not
exist. If the republicans ever expect to
regain their lost ascendancy with the peo-
pie of the United States, they must aban-
don all such mendacious trickery and Chi
canery rs the navy yard canard which

not taken definite or official shape or

animus, and the gall and NORWOOD at
the bottom. These republican senators
are doing thing never before attempted
on such scale in the history of the gov
eminent. It is not only an insult to the
president, and to the people behind him,
but it is absolutely revolutionary. If they
attempt it they will find a lion in their
path, and man who will stand up to
them.

FROM the tone of the press throughout
the state, Mr.. Jno. d. Mccall, the present
efficient chief clerk of the comptroller S
office, is the most popular. candidate for
election. Mr.. Mccall was appointed war
rant clerk in the cOmptroller's Office in
1870, and has served the state contin-
uously and faithfully since that date. He
has always been a consistent democrat,
and although appointed at a time when
the state government was in the hands of
republicans, his political faith was well
known to Comptroller Bledsoe, who gave
him the app 'intment. By his sagacity
and quickness in detecting the numerous
fraudulent and illegal vouchers and GER
titicates presented for payment at that
Office by members and employees of the
VIGOROUSLY corrupt twelfth Legislature, he
saved TO the state of Texas thousands of
dollars. This fact is a matter of record,
and is well known to the public. As to the
capacity and executive ability of Mr.. Nc
Call there can be no question, because his
record speaks for him. The present sys-
tematic and orderly arrangement of the
various departments of the comptroller's
office are due largely to the influence and
administrative ability of Mr.. Mccall. He
is familiar with all the details of the office,
and would fill it with credit and distinc-
ton to himself and the party.
