active and persistent boomer that BOOM

thinking. We knew that il we kept quiet
much longer the nge would pass to the
next man. and the Dallas convention was
| the result. The present-to-d day 's-boom
is the result Of that meeting.
"We have every reason to be gratif1ed
with our progress 80 far. We have sue
ceeded in obtaining the most valuable Co.

trsvel is already very heavy. We have
extensively advertised and will keep il
up, ard people, good people, are bound
to come; 1888, in money, men and manu-
features, will be the biggest year Texas
ever saw.
"There has been great change In the
state already, and We will make greater
one. Even now it is universal remsrk
among excursionists that they never be-

On the subject of deep water on the

ton, viz, that all money appropriated BY
Congress Should be conferred upon some
one point where deep water could De

prove most available to the state. BE de.

favor of any one locality, but personally
he favors the mouth of the Brszcs river
which he thinks is more central sni
could be improved at less cost.

roc MUCH MEAT.

Most people eat too much meat. Ma.
ture has SO bountifully supplied this
country with animal food, that our
people appear to have come to the con
clusion that it is an essential duty on
their part to make daily consumption
of large quantities of it. While some
animal food is needful, it is a great
mistake to suppose that it is required
three times a day, or really oftener
than nee every twenty-four hours.
European laborers rarely get meat
more than once or twice a week, and
yet they are as a general thing robust
and strong, and capable of enduring
hardship under which our great meat
eaters would surely sink.
A writer says: "The heavy work
of the world is not done by men who
eat meat. The Russian soldiers, who
built such wonderful roads and carried
a weight of armor and luggage that
would crush the average farmland,
lived on coarse brown bread and soul
wine. They were temperate in diet
and regular in exercise. The Spanish
peasant works all day and dances half
the night, and yet eats his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only a little fruit and some
olives, and yet he walks off with his
load of 100 pounds. The coolie fed
or rice is more active and can endure
more than the negro fed on meat

the nineteenth century, and we are
now prepared to say that, considering
the rapid and enormous growth of the

who have been gathered into it from

opinions, and we will be pardoned for
saying of different party prejudices,
that it is almost miraculous that so

The despoilers of the people, the
money sharks, the vampires, the politi-
