Texas wants deep water harbor. She
does not know where she will have it
located, but she needs one somewhere very
badly. How is she to get it? Does she
hope that the state and the national gov
ernments will pay the price of this har-
Dor? Or would she be pleased to engage
some private capital in the enterprise
If she wants private funds she can best
interest capitalists by treating those who
have put money into railroads in that
state with justice, if not munifcence.
If Texas wants settlers, if she wants q
harbor, if she wants Internal improve
ments, if she wants progress, if she wants
prosperity, she can obtain one or all of
them in no more certain way than by as
suming a policy of fair dealing with her
common carriers st. Louis Railway

TWO ROOMS.
In Oriental Luxury and Grim
Suffering Poverty.

The FIRST kOOM.
A STATEsMAN reporter last night visited
the den" He seated himself in luxH-
rious chair, and, propping his feet in
window, from which the heavy, costly
draperies had been drawn, he enjoyed the
delightful south breeze while he silently
watched the merry little stars as they
winked and blinked far above the sleep
ing city, for the hour was late. The room,
which has been described in these columns
before, last night, if possible, looked more
beautiful than ever.
The elegant apartment was delightfully."-
cool and pleasant, and, in the sheen of a
brilliant lamp, the only other occupant
besides the reporter WAS taking his ease
on costly robe spread over an
elegant lounge. He was the
proprietor, and the rich perfume of his
cigar, wine of opium and otto of roses
soaked, filled the room. Everything sur
rounding him betokened Oriental luxu'
robustness. heavy carpet covered the
floor; myriads of pictures artistically ar
ranged bedecked the walls; massive cur
tains with heavy trappings ornamented
and concealed the wincows when not
thrown back; beautiful wine sets of costly
cut-glass were suspiciously close to a Gu
riously carved sideboard, wherein was
stored the finest liquors in all the city.
A great salyer contained crushed ice, and
sprigs of mint suggested fragrant julips.
All was elegant, cosy, satisfied and con-
tented.
Here life was all Joy and conter tment.
At leas., ii seemed so.

Texas is manifesting much anxiety
about securing immigration to that state.
Her people hold conventions, discuss
m tho1s, appoint committees and expend
time and money in trying to persuade
settlers to locate upon her lands. Texas
ought to take lesson from observing the
practices of other localities, aud then the
immigration problem would speedily set
tie itself. If the Texans will but abandon
their snti-railrosd sentiments, and cease
their petty annoyances and the enactment
OF unreasonable laws the railroad comps-
nies will attend to immigration matters
in thoroughly efficient manner. The
way to promote immigration into Texas
is to treat the railways literally.

Character IS Capital.

The man who is known to be honest and of sound judgment comm ands the confidence and resources of others. While men will not trust rogue out of their sight, they conide in the integrity of an honest, upright man. He may be in debt; he may have need to borrow; he may be dependent on the Eelp and good will of others; but so long as he will tell the truth, and honestly try to fulfill his engagements, his character counts tor thousands, and is worth to him more than silver OF gold.
 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and man who does business year after year prudently, hon. estly and uprightly, will not often lack for friends and helpers in time of need or straits. But the man who, for some present advantage, condescends to cheat ing, falsehood and rascality, will soor find that for a temporary gain he ha' suffered an irreparable loss. His char acter gone, society watches him as I does thief, and long years elapse befor' he can recover from the effects of hl own suicidal act.
 Young man! Old man! Be honest faithful and true, and if you have n other wealth, let your character be you capital. Com mercial Bulletin.

The land in the Gila is as rich as any in the world and it's productive ness practically unlimited. That along the course of the ditch has been mostly taken up and when water is turned on an immense agricultural district will spring into life that will make Florence one of the most prosperous and flourish ing cities in the Territory.

Tempe.

The town of Tempe, in Maricopa coun- ty is certainly destined to witness very bright and important future and it will ultimately rank among the most enter prising and thriving cities of Arizona. Many years ago when Hon. Chas. T. Rayden selected the site as his home and built his fouring mill, he foresaw and foretold events that have come to pass in prophetic manner and the re- alization of his predictions IS now being fulfilled. The geographical location of the place makes 1t natural commercial and manufacturing center, and It IS sure ly destined to become the focal point for several competing lines of railway. The Mineral Belt road will certainly be con structed to Tempe and up the valley through Florence to a connection with the Sonora railroad, and this will give a competing line to the place and give to it commercial facilities superior to any other town in the Territory.
 The town is pleasantly laid out and is most inviting place. Large hotels and business blocks are being constructed and an air of prosperity prevails. Plenty of water has been developed for irrigat- ing and other purposes and its future road to prominence is easy. Lots are selling rapidly and the town gives prom ise of becoming a formidable rival to it's peighboring city of Phenix. Eventually it is not unreasonable to believe, the cap. ital of the Territory will be removed tc Tempe, and surely it could not be locat ed in more delightful place.
 In the general character of soil and climate the surroundings of Tempe very much resemble those of Florence, ano when the two places are connected by rail spirit of friend ly rivalry will doubt less spring up between them but nothing can disturb the cordial relations ano harmony that will always exist.
