AUSTIN, TEXAS.

The senate has concurred in the house
bill ceding the arsenal lot in this city
to Austin for public school purposes
The bill now, in the regular course OF
such proceedings. will shortly become a
law, and the secretary of war will cede the
lot to our city. 1t is understood the
school trustees will, before the beginning
of the next school session, either so i'm
prove the buildings now erected on those
grounds as TO make them comfortable
aud suitable for school purposes, or will
erect new building ont of the
$1,000 now appropriated for such Pur-
pose and other funds that may be
secured. At all events, the pupils
of the Ninth and Tenth wards can be as
sured they will have school house next
session much nearer their dwellings than
those they have up to this time attended.
The school trustees are entitled to a great
deal of credit for the work they have done
in this matter, and because of the final
fortuitous outcome of their efforts. The
school interests of our city are in excel.

In regard to lands leased from the state
the following has been sent assessors and

Article 1851, Revised Statutes, provides
as follows: "Property held under lease
for term of three years or more, or held
under contract for the purchase thereof,
belonging to this state, or that is exempt
by law from taxation in the hands of the
owner thereof, shall be considered for all
purposes of taxation as the property Of
the person so holding the same, except as
otherwise specially provided by law"
Section "a, of chapter 80, Laws of 1887,
provides as follows: "Leaseholds created

Therefore, by virtue of said act of 1887,
the provisions of said article 1891, of the
Revised Statutes, with respect to the taxa

OF said act of 1887, but all such lands will

Lands other than state lands leased for

DEEP WATER \ STATE ISSUE.

The News is wonderfully sound and
generous in its present treatment of the
deep water question. Whether by such
methods it hopes to placate the people OF
the state, and thus work in the interest
of Galveston, or not, its views are emin'
emily broad. gusged in its criticisms OF the
manner in which our congressional dele
CATION received the deep water committee
sent by the state to confer with them. In
one place the News says:
Mr.. Grain sought to draw Mr.. Moody
into a discussion of the Galveston harbOr
works. Not only is the question now at
issue broader than any question of par
ticular plans, but the purpose is so logi-
cally defined that the side-tracking pro
cess is impossible. Has it not been de-
clared that the people want deep water,
and that TO congressman is left the form
of providing the funds and to govern
ment engineers the task of locating the
harbOr and constructing the works!
That is the single issue, deep Water"
To competent engineers is to be left
the question of the selection of
the most suitable point on the
coast, and to our whole and united
congressional delegation must be en-
trusted the task of securing from con-
gress an appropriation sufficient to prop
erly establish such a port as the state
needs. Congressman Stewart may com
plain of the difficulties in the way, bat
that does not change the necessity of the
case. That an objection should be urged
that other states would be after some
such designation of particular place
and the creation of port, is the sheerest
buncombe. If any states there be in the
union in the same condition as Texas,
without any deep water port, and needing
such a port as we do, why, then they de-
serve the right to come in as does Texas
now and demand such legislation and
such appropriations. They should be
heard and favored in such petition. The
trouble in starting such legislation
as now proposed, lies in the
custom of endless and systematic
jobbery that exists in congress. Our
delegation at this time is only fair
sample of it. The district system stands
in the way of united action, and sectional
interests forbid our congressman working
up to broad. guaged ideas. But our state
will not permit this abuse of custom and
this travesty ON craftsmanship to stand in
the way of her demand for deep water.
Our congressman should be brought to
the knowledge that deep water will hence
forth be an issue in Texas-a live and
burning issue, upon which men must
squarely stand or fall. The people meant
something when they sent that delegation
to Washington, and, if our congressman
will not listen to them, then our people
will demand to know the reason why,
deep Water" is the peoples not the poll
iticians' issue.

CURED by the latter in defending the long
line of western frontier country, has been
so often alluded to in the press of
the country that it is no longer a
news item, but it is only a matter of fair
ness to state that the credit for obtaining
it is chiefly due to Hon. Joseph d. Sayers,
the able, energetic and vigiiant congress-
man from the Tenth district. He has
had charge of this measure from the be-
ginning, and has pushed it with chsrac-
teristic perseverance and intelligence,
until success is sure, and very soon the
Texas cash balance will be augmented by
nearly round million. Mr.. Sayers has
come to be recognized as one of the ablest
men in the house, and few men, who have
been here only two terms, have come
more quickly to the 'front.'"

OF INTEREST TO OUR BUSINESS COM
MUNITY.

At Dallas on last Monday the progress
sive citizens of that energetic city held a
most important meeting. 1t was called a
meeting "for the good of Dallas" and was
ned in the Merchants Exchange. The
object of the meeting was to establish a
manufacturing fund.-" or in some way
provide means for taking advantage of
business offers made Dallas. An extract
from the speech of Mr.. Henry Exall will
give an idea Of the spirit of that meeting:
Mr.. Burlew spoke of this meeting to me,
and it WAS suggested that there would, in
all probability, be many enterprises of
fered to Dallas during the coming season,
that where these enterprises we're feasible
IL was TO the interest of Dallas TO assist
them; that in the matter of getting up
subscriptions, business men, when ap-
preached, were unable to give their time
to investigate the questions of whether
the propositions were practicable, and
whether the parties Offering them
could carry them out and so would not
take the same interest IN them that they
would, if, upon investigation by citizens,
they had been found to be practicable and
remunerative not only to the city, but to
the subscribers. 1t was suggested that
the time had come when many of us had
given as much as we we're able to give, but
that we were still willing to invest in any
enterprise that would promise fair
dividend and rebound to the interest of
Dallas. The time has almost come when
Dallas cannot thrive without enlarged
So 80
portant that we should help legitimate
enterprises as far as we can. To that
end it has been suggested that fund of
$lO( 200 be raised, or that 100 or $50 men
guarantee that amount, and that it be
placed at the disposal of about eight or
ten directors, whose duty it should be to
investigate carefully propositions of en-
terprises from outsiders and say whether
or not we should aid them.
Other speeches in similar vein were
made, and it was decided to select ten
other gentlemen, of known prominence
and progressive views, to be added to the
standing committee of twenty that, during
the last three or four years, has done such
yeoman service for Dallas. This com.
Dittee will now have charge of the i'm
portant matter of inviting in manufac-
turing interests of various kinds, looking
into the advantages of each class of
manufactures as the case is presented,
and determining how much benefit it will
prove to the CITY, and how much stock
the citizens should take in it.
This is what We call enterprise, business
harmony and thrift. Such spirit of
unity and solified purpose has made Dallas
what she is, and will build up any city.
Such spirit should be abroad in Austin.
Our board of trade can be the radiating
focus of such action and results here, as
the merchants exchange has been in
Dallas. Here is food for thought for all
our business men.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-03-08

New life has been enthused in the State
immigration bureau by the action of the
executive committee in calling in more
funds and demanding a more progressive
state as well as county policy. From this
time on, we hope and expect the central
bureau will from this aid be in better
condition to perform the great amount of
work expected of it. And now what of the
Travis County Immigration association?
What is the committee having that matter
in charge doing? How much money have
they raised to pay for advertising our city
and county? How much data have they
collected descriptive of our resources, de
veloped and undeveloped? Are they,
or will they soon be in con-
dition to place Travis county be-
fore the eye of the nation, telling the
people of this continent who and what we
are, and what we have in store for visitors
and immigrants to our midstH If no &C
tion has been taken looking to this end,
why not? If anything has been done,
what Is itH Let us have a report from
you, gentlemen. We are all interested in
this matter, and we expect you to keep
us constantly enthused on the subject.

The special from Georgetown has the
ring of business about it. That city
plainly sees the danger that is menacing
this section if the ST. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas railroad builds across to Lampasss
extension is made then we may as WELL
for years to come, at least, bid adieu to
any hope of that railroad extending its
line southwark from McGregor to this
point. We commend the people of George
town for their energy and pluck, and sin
cerely hope our citizens will ably second
them in their efforts to secure railroad
to the north at the earliest possible
moment.

The Libby prison is to be transported
from Richmond to Chicago, where money
is to be made out of it by becoming a re-
sort for sight-seers-one of the grim me-
mentoes of great war. 1t seems almost
like dissertation to either remove or use it
for the purposes indicated. This despoils
Richmond of one of its chief and most
prominent. historical attractions.
