POWERFUL.

The magnitude and power of the
United States can be illustrated in
many ways; but that such a common
wealth as Texas, inside Our bounds,
can be endowed with complete self
government without any hesitation, is
a great fact for the greater greatness of
the union. Look at it. Texas is 1884,
900 miles in area-forty-one times rs
large as Rhode Island, six times rs
large as the empire state. II might
contain a lake so large that if France
were transferred to the center of this
lake it could not be seen from the
Texas shore. The state government is
Overburdened with income, and the
school fund is in greater pl0thOric
dilemma; yet this powerful common
wealth is only II part OF a republic
that puts on no airs on account of lis
greatness.-Ex.

For thirty-six hours they stayed ON the
