EDITOR JONES SPEECH.

The address of the Florida journalist
before the National Publishers associa.
ton, at Indianapolis, merits attention.
The more especially at the present moment
when there seems to be determined move
ment in congress in favor of a govern
ment telegraph system.
Mr.. JONES looks at it chiefly
from newspaper standpoint, but
incidentally examines other bearings OF
the subject, politically and otherwise.
The arguments he adduces against the
Cu!lom bill are founded in reasoning so
apparently just that the reader con hardly
fail to he converted to Mr.. Jones' opin-
IONS. He is averse to entrusting the gov
eminent with the power of establishing
a system of espionage over the
telegra phic dispatches of the country
He fears government officers, ben fciaries
of the party in power, would not with
stand the temptation of using their
knowledge of the contents of the dis
patches for partisan ends.
AS to the newspapers, Mr.. Jones shows
the Cullom, or any similar telegraph bill,
if enacted into law, would have the
effect of killing off the small dailies, and
build up great journalistic mOnopoliea,
because the less opuleut papers could not
afford the rates proposed by this bill
Editor Jones evidently thinks, with a
large majority of the country, that we had
better let we'll enough alone, and that the
issue presented really amounts to nothing
more than transferring the Geographic
service from the control of a commercial
despotism to that of political power,
possibly as INSCRIPTIONS.
Indeed, congressional action might be
deferred and suffered, for q period of
probation at least, to hang over Mr.. Gould
like Damocles' sword.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

While it almost begins to look as II
there will be no tariff legislation this con-
gress to amount to anything, that body
ds,e mot adjourn without passing some
rneosnrs remedial of the evils of foreign
immigration. 1t is estimated that were 1t
utterly cut of and stopped altogether the
United States would, at the close OF the
Twentieth century, be as thickly PoPu-
lated as Europe.
Within the last seventy years fifteen mil
lions of foreign immigrants have landed on
our shores, bringing bone, sinew and
muscle for turning our wildernesses into
the abodes of civilization. Their cash
value at landing is computed at fifteen
billions of dollars, or nearly one third the
entire property values of the country
Now the assistance OF these peo-
ple-now absorbed into our cltlZen
ships building up the country
is recognized. But the further
aid of foreign muscle is no longer neces-
sary; on the contrary, both American
labor and capital have something to teai
from a continuance of the Importation OF
undesirable classes of labor. 1t is to the
interest of both now to shut off the fanat
les, the anarchists, the paupers, and a
class of people who will and can work al
most for nothing and live on noshlpg
Since 1872 over five million foreign lnmi
grants have set foot on American soil. o
these only six hundred thousand have pro
fcssed any trade, and two and half mill
ions had no occupation.
If then, American capital is menacet
and our laboring classes injured by tn
present influx of foreign WORTHLESS
tramps, why should we daily any furthe
with an evil annually growing into DANCE,
GUS proportions?

100000 COPIES.
Special Immigration Edition OF
Tho Statesman.

Special Immigration Edition OF
Tho Statesman.
The STATESMAN is now preparing, and,
about the middle of February, will issue
special immigration edition of 100000
copies. It will be the most accurate and
DOM plete compendium Of general infor-
nation about Texas that has ever been
published. Il will embrace exhaustive re-
ports of our public and private lands, state
and county school lands, and school facil-
titles; our agricultural, livestock, com
mercial, mineral, manufacturing and other
industrial resources. While this edition
will be a state paper, we propose giving
county and local affairs careful and de-
tailed attention.
Our facilities enable us to make a full
and accurate exhibit of the conditions of
the state and of the counties as they actu-
ally exist, which cannot be duplicated by
any other agency in the state.
The following resolution approving the
proposed action of TIKI STATESMAN was
unanimously adopted by the executive
committee OF the State Bureau of Immi-
grafton:
Resolved, That the executive commit
tee of the Texas state immigration com
mittee heartily approves of the enterprise
of the AUSTIN STATESMAN PUBLISHING
COMPANY in publishing special issue of
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES OF The
STATESMAN, and, believing the contents to
be truthful and fair representation of
IN, resources, finances, etc., of the state,
we commend it to all persons seeking in
formation about Texas, and also TO our
local immigration organizations for use
by them.

SETTLE THE HARBoR QUESTION.

The Fort Worth Gazette says: "rexas
will have 100000 surplus to dispose of
and she might profitably invest some
100000 or 100000 in obtaining deep
water and building harbor at some point
on the gulf coast" Very good. The
state legislature should first appoint a
committee to examine the various loca-
tions at which harbor could be made
and report accordingly. This committee
ing and business talent in the state in
order to make the most judicious choice
possible and set the matter at rest at once
and for all time to come. A solution of
the question after this fashion Was in the
intent of the Dallas conventions rssolu-
ton and state representatives have been
sent TO Washington to see what can be
done with the federal government in this
matter. But either in the event of their
failure or success, this plan could be
adopted by the legislature with great pro-
priety and hope of the best ultimate
success.
Texas will eventually have many sea
ports, but at present it is necessary to
make such choice as will best subserve
the common good of the state. In no
other way can the matter be satisfactorily
settled. Sectional interests will clash with
any arrangement that can be made, and
on this account the members of the pro.
posed committee-who, perhaps, should
have the governor of this state as their
chairman should be men possessed of the
highest moral courage and an iniexible
will

Sugar Production.

We clip the following interesting &C.
count of sugar production from the Old
Capitol, published at Columbia, Brazoria
county:
Mr.. F. MARION, the engineer in charge
of the sugar making on Retrieve planta-
ton, says that the Old Capitol stated
ma erially the facts in regard to the
phenomenal yield on that plantation the
past season. There were $50 acres of
cane in cultivation, from which were ex
tracted $50 hogsheads of sugar and 900
barrels of molasses; and that the loss of
juice, through defective machinery, would
certainly have brought the general aver
age up to five hOgsheads per acre. This.
1t Is confidently believed, leads upon that
line the world round; nothing in Cuba,
Louisiana or the Sandwich Islands can
approach it. In this connection it NAV
be stated that some of our practical
farmers are of the opinion that sugar ard
molasses Is the poor mans crop in This
county. Mr.. G. o. Jarvis is the manager
of Retrieve, and the re, ult of his opeTa-
tons the past year must stamp him az
the most successful sugar planter on the
American continent.

The result was a marked climatic change
in favor of more regular rainfall. Texas
has steep slope towards the gulf, owing
to which the surface water is speedily
carried off through the rapid currents of
the rivers. Trees and shrubbery would
tend to arrest this drainage, keep the
water on the soil, and give it out gradually
by evaporation, to return in rain. Or
chards, vineyards and pecan groves would,
therefore, not only be source of wealth
to the planter and to the state, but they
would also materially affect our climate,
and thus prove public blessing.

PLANT TREES.

Speaking of the surplus, the forestry
question should receive most careful at
tention, both of the people of Texas and
their representatives in the state legisla-
ture. A bonus for tree planting would be
productive of much good for the common
veal. Trees, or their absence, very ma
terially affect the rainfall. Large portions
of Kansas that are now fertile we're arid and
unproductive until the state legislature
gave bonus for tree planting. This
bonus was in the form of exemption from
taxes in proportion to the uumber of
trees planted by each resident of the state.

DEEP WATER A STATE ISSUE.

The News is eminently correct when it
says that the deep water question is a
matter of concern to the whole state of
Texas as we'll as the coast country, and
that the entire delegation in congress
should take as much interest in the ques-
ton as the delegates from the coast dis
trict. This is not time for log-rolling.
Congressman Grains policy, he states,
will be the same this year as has been the
custom always in his district; he will get
appropriations for all the points on the
coast having any preten5e to the name of
port or harbor, but he will make an extra
effort TO have the appropriations as large
as possible. This is the same old
story, catering to the voters of the whole
district, offending none of his constitu-
ents by discriminating in favor of any
particular point on the coast, working for
hims elf rather than for the state at large,
which he claims he is proud to represent.
This won't do. The most representa-
tive body that for years has met in Texas,
the Dallas convention, composed not of
politicians, but of the flower of the states
manhood and business sense, has declared
in favor of one port on the Texas coast, a
deep wateFharbor in name and fact, and
that all governmental aid shall be directed
toward the securing of such port. The
people are tired of seeing money frittered
away in driblets, unavailing of any really
noticeable or permanent good.
They want consolidated appropriations
placed where they will accomplish some
good purpose. The Dallas convention
was the entering wedge, and the people of
the state will in the future see to it that
this deep water port is no longer regarded
as a sectional or coast issue, but that it is
made a matter of state policy, in which
the whole state delegation in congress will
be required to take an interest.

AND still there is no present indication
of track laying on the Austin and Nc
GregOr railroad being commenced at a
very early date. And can it be that the
gentlemen all along the proposed line of
railroad came back and forth to Austin
only for their health and recreation?
Or, did they and our citizens mean some
thing when they paid for charter to
build the Austin and McGregor railroad?
Two months have gone by, and there has
been no survey of the road, no money
raised for such survey or subsequent
work; in fact, nothing pointing toward
strict business. Is it the intention to

only about half supplied. New buildings
and new bucks and new hotels Of enor-

IN all stages, from the digging of the GEL
lars to the last touches of the painter.
Three million feet of lumber is now sfloat

The Gazette is in the field earnestly ad-
vocating the location of the refrigerator
in Font Worth, near the large stock yards
shortly to be built there. Austin is not
10 the field for the refrigerator, and has
no favorites as between her sister cities.
All we want to see in the interest of the
stockmen and the beef consumers of
Texas, is a refrigerator establshed some
where in the state and actively at work.
Let the stockmeu and cities ambitious
for the refrigerator determine between
them the most suitable place for its
location.

WHAT TEXANS Do.

Texans have the richest soil on earth,
yet import corn from Kansas and cab
bages from California; the finest COW
country in the world, yet send money
abroad for butter and condensed milk; a
good hog country, yet depend upon Chi
cago and Cincinnati for pork; we
have the finest University and school
system in the world, yet send our sons
and daughters to Virginia and Tennessee
to be educated; we have as good me-
chanics and material as there
are in the United States, yet
buy every pillow frame and hoe handle,
every buggy and farm wagon abroad.
We make nearly million and half bales
of cotton annually, yet every pound of it
is sent out of the state to be worked into
fabrics, which we bring back again after
paying the expenses of transportation
both ways and the cost of manufacture,
which is expended among people who
have no interest in US. These are facts.
Will we ever pursue any other than the
foolish course we now pursue?
