THE SPRING PALACE

Tyler Record: The Texas Spring Pal
ace will be opened May 10. The object
in this enterprise is to display the products
Of Texas soil. Prospectors will visit the
Palace for the purpose OF selecting
homes. They will be governed in their
choosing by the products presented to
their view. Now Ellis county is said to
have no superior in the state in the point
of fertility of soil, good and abundant
water, rquabIlity OF climate, and shall
we or not show thess things to the home
seekers? 1t is time now to start the busi-
ness. There will be room TO procure,
specimens OF products are 10 be collected
and all ths necessary arrangements at
tended to. There should be a citizen =
meeting called and q committee ap-
pointed with subcommittee in every
community in the county. In the
selecting of such committees care
should be taken TO select men and women
who will work. AS county, such ac-
ton is necessary. We should exhibit our
resources, or else give our consent to be
called mossbacks.

THE AFRICA OF THE FUTURE.

THE AFRICA OF THE FUTURE.
The theory Is put forth, mainly from
| French sources, that Mr.. Henry NJ.
| Stanl ey's long and arduous journey into
| the interior or Africa was not, after all +,
intended, either primarily or mainly, as
relief expedition for Emin Pasha, but
that this purpose was only avowed as q
pretext. According to this theory the
| 'real object of this expedition was TO
! prepare the way for the creation OF a
vast British African empire-an empire
| to extend from the Cape to the region
of the great lakes, and from that region
TO Egypt across the equatorial pro-
vInces conquered under the ex-
KhediTe Ismael end where Emin found
himself blockaded after the fall of Khar-
toum." OF this great empire Mr.. Stan
ley is to be made the governor, and thus
occupy the relation to the future, so far
as Africa is concerned, that Give and
Hastings did toward the Indian empire
OF the Eighteenth century All this may
be nothing but the dream OF q jealous
rival. Such policy may never have en-
tered the mind Of an English statesman,
and may be utterly alien to the intentions
Of Mr.. Stanley himself. 1t has, never
theless, great attractiveness to the day
dreamers, and is quite in harmony with
the LOGIC of events of the past four CEN
turtles, during which time, whatever
Paul may have planted, or whatever
Apollo may have watered IN any of the
newly discovered portions of the earth,
England has at last plucked the fruit. 1t
has been so IN America, it has been so in
Asia, 1t has been so in the Australian
continent, and 1t has been so in the
islands of the sea. In each and all,
English pluck anG daring. English per-
sistence and ability have made their way
over all obstacles. When il was neither
possible nor desirable to conquer a coun-
try aud TO annex it and its people, still
the traits OF the English have been such
that they would conquer its trade and
commerce and make goods for its people.
A natural result of all this has been the
planting of the power, the language. the
literature the customs and the manners Of
England around the globe so that, more
than century ago. one OF the greatest
of her orators could say that the sun
never set on her dominion or her author
ity. 1t is only logical that the same
general policy should be carried out In
Africa. With Il number of small nations
contending for supremacy in certain
quarters of Africa, with their demon
strated lack of the colonial instinct, and
with the pushing qualities of the British
character, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the civilized Africa of the flu
ture will be modified and newer En-
gland, extending the language and the
arts OF that great country into territories
now given over to the dominion of the
most arrant superstition to be found any
where in all the world.

THE Johnstown disaster of last year and
the later one at Prescott, A. t., are
cautiouary signals that should be needed
By all those advocating the building of
dams for the accumulation of q volume
of water for irrigation or other purposes
Proper forethought Is to be specially
commended at this time as the want OF
water supply in the Western country Is
opening q Geld for EXPERIMENTATION as to
ways for supplying this lack. It has been
proposed that there be an international
dam built across the Rio Grsnde. and al
though as vet the Mexican government
does not incline TO the project, ulti-
mately a change of population will
demand some such provision.

by speculative visions tempting invest

ture. GA little farm well titled and q

for real Development. What Texas needs
as much as anything is an immigration
of intelligent aud experienced farmers,
who will give attention to selecting
choice stock and to a profitable variation
of crops. The wonderful variety of soil
and climate and the many avenues of
transportation that ere being opened
combine to make this the most desirable
