The assessed valuations are taken from
the American Almanac for 1887, which
gives the dates of the above reports as
follows: California, July, 1884; Iowa,
July, 1885; Kansas, July, 1886; Min
nesota, August, 1886; Texas, November,
1885, and Wisconsin, October, 1886.
The railroad mileage for all the above
states is for the year 1885.
Texas is Is per cent. larger than Cali

as Iowa, over three times as large as
Kansas, or Minnesota, and nearly FIVE
times as large as Wisconsin. These are
facts and figures worthy the attention of
men who have reason to pride themselves
on their pluck and enterprise, and
should appeal to the prayerful considera-
ton of those who are afraid of the deep

look in their eyes indicating regard for
posterity that blinds them to the needs of

Mr.. A. J. Chambers of the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande railroad, has just re-
turned from trip over the country fro N
this 3ity to Kerrville. A GAZETTE re-
preventative tried to draw Mr. Chambers
out on the mineral resources of the coun-
ties through viii CHI he had passed, but
Mr.. Chambers said Ono; neither pen
nor tongue can describe them-that
country must be seen to be appreciated
no man will believe unless he has seen.
He tried to describe granite two story
houses on the farms, fences made of
iron groupings, coal washed down the
streams, asbestos in mountains, man
ganese in boundless quantity within d
mile of inexhaustible iron beds, gran
tie of all hues and easily
stabbed, of silver now being mined
by Mexicans, of a china tie to which
Kerrville is the gateway that restores to
health the lung diseased, an d of fish and
game and growing crops until he ceased
in very despair of doing the subject justice.
Mr. Chambers brought with him small
samples of minerals, and says when Fort
Worth is brought into connection with
Coleman, Llano, Mason, San Saba, Me-
CuIloch and other Southern counties of
the mineral district, that section viii ex-
perience boom beside which that Of
Alabama will be as zephyr to a cyclone.
And when the Texas Spring Palace is

in this city shall behold the hidden wealth
of that section and go back to their homes
to tell of the wonderful opportunities
offered for Investment in the mineral
region of Texas. a New Birmingham

Texas is a great state; we have all re-
manner, we have so identified ourselves
with that greatness as to absorb the
credit which belongs, perhaps, to Texas
itself as vast body of land delightfully."-
situated. There is a deal of energy in
Texas, but may not the crop of moss be
larger than we have supposed? There
are plucky and enterprising and progress
sive people in Texas, but are there not
also here those who say our laws were not
framed to promote immigration and those
who look down upon the deep blue sea
and shiver with the dread of the plunge
to which they may be forced by teeming
millions of population?
Texas is a great state, but did not the
good LORD make it so, and is not man as
Stunning more of the credit for what Texas
is than he is fairly entitled to? Texas
has a generous, delightful climate and
fruitful soil-and Texas contains 265 200
square miles of territory. Texas has had
this climate and this soil ever since it was
admitted into the Union, over forty
years ago, and, considering its vast
area, would it not have been remarkable
if it had not attracted some people and
some capital?
Texas produces cotton, sugar, wheat,
oats, corn, milIet, vegetables, fruit;
Texas is pre- eminently live stock state,
and cattle and sheep and swine and
horses and mules can be raised here
cheapl7 and profitably. Texas has val

clay and stone and silver and petroleum
lie rich and abundant beneath Its soil;
Texas has @ fine lumber district
whose riches no man can compute;
Texas is great state, but the
man who contends that any law
on its statute books should be or was
framed not to promote immigration can
not, without violence to consistency,
claim any credit for making Texas even
what it is.
Immigration has made Texas what it
is, and whatever Texas may be suffering
to-day is due to the lack of immigration.
Immigration gave value TO lands, opened
farms, built cities, attracted railroads.

TERRELL.
Particulars of the Fight-Eleetion of Officers of
the Knights OF Pythias

Special o'the Gazette.
TERRELL, Tex. Jan. 30.-The fight
between the two cab drivers, Russell and
Compton, both white men, has created
some talk in the city. It seems the men
were in a quarrel al the depot just about
the time the p. m. train was due.
Compton, becoming mad, struck Russell
with the handle end of a harness punch
twice, the handles making two wounds
each time. At the last strike Russell fell
heavily on the platform and bied freely
but was Immediately taken to
Dr.. Stoyall 5 office, where his
wounds were examined. They were
three flesh wounds above the forehead,
one of which seemed to have cut an ar
terry, which caused profuse bleeding
The other two were mere bruises. The
fourth and serious wound was made about
three and half or four inches above the
left ear, and here the punch handle broke
the skull and went into the brain one and
a half or two inches. On examination a
piece of skull about one-half by three
quarters of an inch was found imbedded
in the brain ut least one and half inches.
Another piece about half an inch in
diameter was found sticking into the
the brain was punctured and
two teaspoonfuls of brains or more oozed
from the wound. After dressing the
wound by Drs. StOval, Monday and
Nelson, Russell &lay in q comat0se con-
dition about four hours, when reaction
took place and he has since been in a
measure rational. His condition is very
critical. Compton regrets the affair
very much. His examining trial viii
probably take place Tomorrow.

officers of Terrell lodge, Knights of

AN EPISCOpAL DonJCILE

The announcement that Fort Worth
copal residence to be established in Texas
by the Methodist Episcopal church South,
will be received with genuine pleasure
by the people of this city without regard to
church or unchurchly ties. No hand
sOmer tribute could be paid TO the i'm
portance of Fort Worth as a railway
trade and population center than its se-
lection as the capital in the Southwest of
the great religious movement involved in
Southern Methodism. 1t is not solely
because of its relations to Texas that Fort
Worth enjoys this honor, but because of
its central position with respect to the
territorial empire which extends from the
Pacific to the Mississippi, and from Cam
ada to the Cuff
The world is the diocese of a Methodist
bishop. He has concurrent jurisdiction
with eight others over the universe. To-
day he may preside over confer
ence in Texas; month hence

chief shepherds of IA million souls, over
100 600 of whom are in Texas.
Bishop Key, Will represent the Epis-
copal family IN the West, Is one of the
junior members in Episcopal service,
having been elected to his high Office ut
the general conference of his church
which met in Richmon three years ago.
1t is fit that the care Of Western religious
interests should fall upon one of such
large resources, intellectually and phys
ically, as he has been shown to possess.
An interesting sketch of his career win

To Bishop Key and to the great COM
munity of Meth odists whom he represents
