Railroad Legislation and Ana-
rmaRHr.naann.

The people and papers of Texas
just at this time are considerably
stirred ontthe subjects Of railway and
immigration legislation.
The Orange Tribune says it will
oppose al railroad legislation for the
reason there too few roads for her 10
commence making laws that'wIl tend
to keep contemplated roads from
being built. Texas is like Lonisians
in that respect. She has built well,
but has vast stretches of territory
through rich farming and mineral
sections that need the greatest Of al
developers, railroads. The law makers
now in session in the great State Of
Texas may, with one stroke, stay
millions of money that would, il
rightly encouraged, pass into heI
borders and develop untod millions OF
wealth that is Tying dormant in mines
minerals and farms.
The Na0s Bog, published in Jasper,
Texas, asks the question: is it to be
supposed that railroad builders vii.
invest their money in a State that
evinces q tendency to 7irtualiv con
hsoate their property and manage il
IN the interest Of others who have
nothing Al stake and nothing 10 risky
It further asks; "Of what sYsiI Is the
hue and cry for immigration
1t is true that small number OF
immigrants can come as of old by
weeks Of hardsblps and exposure in
covered wagons. They car also gel
their produce or a small part Of it by
the same prlmilure method Of transit,
but machinery for factories and de-
veloprng mineral resources cannot be
50 brought
The same Legislature is also al work
on Ar immigration bill. Ii strikes u
very forcibiy that bill, with an ap-
preparation for immigration would be
considerably crippled if it does not
receive the hearty cooperation Of the
railroads.

Thus it will be seen that while
there has been a marked increase in
the number of registered voters in the
past seven years, there has been
steady increase in literacy, and a cor
responding decrease in iIliteracy. The
statement to January, 1889, shows
still greater decrease of ilIiteracy,
while the tota number of votes at
that time was but little augmented,
the increased percentage of literate
for the year past almost or quite
equalling the increase for the seven
years preceding Nor do these calcu-
laLlORs give any adequate idea of our
progress in school and educational
facilities. Our most marked efforts
in this direction have only been made
in the three or four years past, and
those who have received the benefits
Of them are not computed in this
table, for they are not yet Of age.
1t will require at least five years
yet to show the benefit of our efforts
in behalf of education, if we are to
base the calculation upon the number
OF suttragists of the State.
We have not vet outlived the baDe-
full effects of the war on the education
Of our male population, for even
though nearly a quarter Of d century
has passed since It's close, the poverty
OF our people made it necessary to
look to the youths Of the State to
produce the Decessaries of life, and il
has only been recently that our boys
have been given any general advant
ages of education. The female popu
latiOn wonld show a most striking con
trast in this respect, but our caIcula
lions are based upon the male popu
iation over twenty,one years of age.
Never before in our history wa,
there such an united and genera
effort in behalf of education.
Our Stale appropriation has beer
Increased by many thousands. Private
individuals have become more deeply
interested in public education. Oul
parishes, cities and towns, devote
more money to this cause. Our Stalk
universities, high and normal schools
for both races, are prospecting, and OBI
Prvate colleges, academies anG com
mon schools are more numerous anC
more largely attended Indeed, the
lamentations Of the press have beer
entirely unnecessary and superfuous
as Louisiana has never had CREATE
cause for congratuIation upon tht
present condition of future promise o
Der educational facilities.

AN exchange, in answer to the ques-
ton, what makes one town grow into
q city while the others remain villages,
says: 1t is because in one case there are
men OF push and energy, who are not
afraid to spend their time and money to
boom their town. They erect substan-
tial buildings, organize stock companies
and establish factories and secure rail
roads, work for public improvements
and use every means in their power to
induce people to locate in their town.
They send their local paper to acquaint-
ances they think can be induced to To-
cate in their town. When strangers
arrive the attractions are shown to them
and they are treated with so much kind
ness that they fall in love with the town
at once. A place only succeeds when ii
begins to work for itself.
