DEEP RATER EOR TEYAR.

The organization of G company OF
capitalists for the purpose OF secur-
ing for Texas deep water at Padre Island
is one Of the best items of news recently
sent out. Everybody sgrees that Texas
should have irst-Clgss port of entry.
The state has long been handicapped in
her race by lack of port facilities. Each
session Of Congress sppropriates few
small sums for the purpose and this
money is scattered here and there at
various points with about as few benefits
resulting as there possibly could be.
Local rivalries and prejudices have here
tofore crested such internal dissension
that the government Of the United States
would do but little. The old idea of
bringing the mountain to Mahomet has
been followed out persistently year
after year. a dredge boat here
and there, making crawfsh
mark on the various sandbars or roofing
under the banks of various bsyous has
sufticed to give employment to q number
Of federal officers and spend the annual
appropriations, but the fact remains that
Texas is to-day, as when L2fltte held do
minion, without s seaport. The Padre
Island Company has put of what was old
and heretofore futile and propose taking
a new line OF seton. II realizes that the
mountain will not come to Mahomet
without vast expenditure of money, and
has therefore decided to sccept the only
Alternative Of going to the mountain,
Independent oifedersl or state assistance,
and it proposes to build out into the Gulf
far enough to secure depth Of water
sufficient to float the largest sea- going
vessels. There are reports of engineers
fnvoring this or that section with
out number, hut this CON-
pany has selected Padre Island
and proposes to secure deep water there.
1t is high time that some such effort should
be made. Texas has been sleeping on
her "natursl advantages" long enough,
and should rejoice to see capital and in
teliigence going practically to work in
this enterprise.

TEXAS PRESS OPINION.

Austin Dispatch: The San Antonio
Times vigorously supports Mr.. Mills for
the United States Senate. Suppose ex-
Governor Irelsnd should enter the lists
as q candidate? VIII the Times still SUP
port Mills?
Limestone New Era: The money that
Texas pays to the surplus fund would
more than oVerbslsrce her pro rata Of
the Blair bill appropriation. Would it
not be coed idea to stop the surplus by
a reduction Of the tariff, keep our money
at home and run our own schools? This
would be eminently Democratic outside
of constitutional consideration.
Waco Day: The shouters for an extra
session of the Texas Legislature had as
well make up their minds to the newt
able. Governor Ross has no idea of call
ing such session. There will be sur
plus money in the state treasury before
the year is over, but the Governor be-
lieves the people are not in q hurry to
spend it. 1t will keep until next year.
Denton Chronicle: Have all the school
teachers receive their pay from the
United States Treasury, snd make each
one ex oficio justice Of the peace; then
let the government own the telegraph,
making each telegraph operator an ex
officio constable (Or some other Office :;
then give both professions big pay, and
let the people foot the bills. There are
glorious times ahead for us!
Bonham Review: There is much twad-
die IN the Texas press az this stage about
the successor Of Coke. CJke needs no
successor unless the third term ideR is
cause for retirement. II the third term
is sufficient objection to Senator Coke,
where will his equal come from? It is q
bad policy to let go good thing for 6
worse one. We believe Texas will prefer
the continuance Of the Senator.
Waco Examiner: Leagues and trusts
now have control of the commerce CT the
country snd lot of them are at Wash
ington to f8sten their fsngs en- the gov
eminent. The Tobacco League, the Ma
tional League, the Sugar League, the
Wool League, the Shipping League, the
Iron League and the st Ell League, the
Womsn's Lesgue, the Lumber League,
the Labor League and all the other Leagues
except the Tamsles League of San An
tonic, have made their demands on Com
gress and the people hold their breath
with their tongues IoIled out in fearful
expectation Of puissant spoliatioD.
Bellville Standard: Galveston is
moving actively on the deep water ques-
ton and will insist upon the Texas Con,
gressioneI delegation making an effort to
have the federal appropriations for Texas
concentrated upon that place. Congress
man Grain of the Galveston district has
other points in his district demanding hi:
assistance, and Congressman Stewart mas
points in his district waiting eppropris-
lions, consequently they are now in s
tight place. They will, however, sHor
have to make up their minds as to wis
course to purgue, and, if they decide
against the claims of Galveston, they
might as well begin to prepare for re-
leptless war.

THE COUNTY IMMIGRATION

The meeting Saturday Of the Tarr,nt
county immigration convention was
success and much good Is to be expected
to result from its labors. The selection
Of Mr.. c. c. Allen as secretary WAS wise
one as he thoroughly understands and is
familiar with the duties pertaining to the
important Office. In masters of this kind,
almost everything depends upon the
selection of the secretary, and the con-
vention is to be congratulated on secur-
ing such sn efficient officer. The next
thing to be done is the raising Of funds,
and that should be done at once.
Without the sinews Of war the secretary
will De without sword or shield and can
do nothing. An effort should be made to
raise the required sum ct the earliest pos
slble moment so that the work can pro-
coed and Tarrant county be given her fair
share of the benefits to accrue from the
state movement which is already beginning
to make itself felt. Let the committee sc
to work and see that subscribers so down
in their pockets q considerable depth
There is oil beneath snd it should be
bored for.

False State msnt Exposed,

D2llS5 News.
IL the News of yesterday the following
quotation from the New York World was
published:
Bishop Garrett of Texss has been tell
ing the Women's Episcopal Missionary
Society of Washington that they should
quit spending so much money on South
Sea Islanders and send q few mission
aries to the Lone Star state. "We want
ploneers," he says-''men who knoWihOW
to take care Of themselves along the
frontiers. Brave, sturdy fellows not
afraid of the open mouth OF revolver
nor Of the vel of q drunken COWBOY.
Men with muscles of steel, who can, sny
OF them, throw yearliDg steer over c
wire fence as easily as he can jerk law
less coyote out of religious meeting if
he attempted to make disturbance"
In order to ascertain whether the above
extraordinary assertions would 90 I'M
challenged snd stand for the truth, the
News Was moved, in defense Of Texas to
make the following comment:
Does Bishop Garrett meSn to say that
the frontier of Texas is given over to
lsWlessness? II so, well founded obiec-
ticn will be raised.
The reply OF Bishop Garrett is given
below. Considering his prominence IS
an educator and mis- influence as leading
pulpit orator of Texas, the News is glad
TO give pla ,e to his positive denial of the
statements accredited to him:
PLEAsAETOS, DALLAS, Jan. 26, 1883.

sence of three months constant labor in
the interests of Texas. NV attention was
Immediately called to an extract in the

sion referred 10 or any other. Respect
