with marble, granite and sandstone,
and some of the handsomest public and
private residences in the state are of
stone cut from the native quarries, while
the sculptor finds here material fitted to
perpetuate his most exquisite ideals, and
neither sculptor or artist need the gran
lte of New Hampshire or the marble of
Italy.
The mineral deposits embrace all ores,
unless it may be gold. Silver mines are
successfully worked in the tier of coun-
ties bordering on the Rio Grande aud
New Mexico. while in Eastern Texas
iron ore abounds and of so pure grade
as TO make it most desirable for all pur-
poses into which iron enters. Coal has
been discovered IN sufficient quantity to
warrant the assertion that Texas before
many years will rival all other iron and
coal producing states. In agriculture
and manufactures the future holds out
incalculable returns. What has been
done Is in no degree commensurate with
what will be done. The cattle industry,
the immense herds of sheep and goats
that range the grassy plain give all
needed encouragement to capitalists.
Already packeries are in operation and
spindles whirring, and while Texan
may eat of the fruit of his labor, and lit
orally sit under his own vine and fig
tree, the day is not distant when the
wool of his fiocks and the cotton of his
fields shall be made into garments for
himself and his family.
Now if the foregoing is fact, what
ought to be done is to show TO the world
what cosmos is Texas, and in no way
can this be done more advantageously
than by worthy exhibit in Chicago in
1898. SuDposing such column of black
soil as was shown here at the Spring
building what volume it would be and
how eagerly would the jewellers on worn
lands ply their questions.
The Legislature that is to convene this
winter should have its attention called 10
the Importance of a state exhibit, and if
possible devise some plan for making q
LIBERAL appropriation. Texas counties
and towns are always alert for oppor-
tunities, and will doubtless avail them
selves of the one offered by the Column
bian exposition, but this is not sufficient.
II is the state in its entirety that should
be fairly represented, and this can only
be done by state effort, and the conven-
should be made a means to this end.

per cent. below yesterdays close.
The general market was very weak in the first
hour, many stocks selling down to the lowest
point yet reached.
The bank statement was much more favorable
than had been ANTICIPATED. The Surplus re-
serves increased SEA. 300, and the banks are now
only STA, sS5 below legal requirements. On this
whole the market advanced sharply. Closings
were materially below yesterdays
Silver was very weak. and sugar fairly strong.
The sha king down which the market received
was very severe one. Cables received by
houses with London connections indicated that
over there the opinion prevails that bottom has
NOT been reached. On The other hand, Wall
street was disposed to be quite bullish after
close to-day on account of the buoy sncy showed
by the market in the rally after the announce

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Whether the census
has been manipulated for political purposes or
not the fact remains that the increase of pop
ulation since 1870 in the Southern, or, more
properly speaking, the Democratic states, i
more than zoo, OO0 less than the increase in pop
ulation between 1870 and 1886. This Is. to say
the least. enough to set people thinking. In
the Republican states the increase in popula
ton has been in proportion to the increase made
in 1850. 1t is more than probable that the CEN
sus will be investigated by congress.

Houston will put ~ the stuff for Pitzlin.

AT THE WORLDS FAIR.


As yet there has been no particular
manifestation of interest on the part OF
the citizens of Texas to have fitting ex-
hibit at the World IS Columbian exposi-
tion at Chicago in 1898. This is due
doubtless, &c the fact that there is n o
provision IN :he state constitution for an
expenditure of state funds for such pur-
poses, aud get the importance of state
exhibit is recognized by the officials as
well as private citizens.
Texas occupies too large an extent of
territory and possesses too great a variety
of soil, climate and productions to per-
NIT 1t TO be misrepresented in an exposi-
ton that, while world wide In grasp, Is
peculiarly one OF this new world. With
an areasof PA $50 square miles, extend
ing north aud south from the thirty
fifth TO the twenty Gfth parallel, and
east and west from the ninety-third to
the 1880 parallel, it is an empire in ex-
tent, and embraces within its wide
limits the products found in many
latitudes, and its VAST plains and
rapidly growing towns and cities are
peopled with the representatives of many
countries. That such state should
awaken interest is little wonder, and q
well selected exhibit would serve to
stimulate curiosity and induce investiga-
ton.
Texas is to-day the successful rival of
the majority of cotton growing states.
OF the crop of 1907 PSI bales for the
years 1889 and 1890 Texas alone pro-
duced 50s, 727 bales, with three states
only in excess. In corn and wheat the
state ranks with Northwestern states,
raising an ample home supply and ship
ping largely TO other markets. The rich
bottom lands of the southeastern portion
produce, cane in paying quantities and
the yield and quality of sugar amply
eompensates the planter. This state can
also compete with Louisiana and South
Carolina in sugar and rice.
Eastern Texas abounds in fine timber,
and the lumber business is actively car
ried on. Shops, schooners and ships
are cons family lying at the ports loading
with lumber for all parts of the globe
and for all purposes required. The i'm
preston that Texas Is a treeless plain is
fast being dissipaied. aud perhaps no
enc tclng has done more in this way than
the exhibits at the Spring Palace. There
were the many variesi of wood
IN their native roughness, and
also specimens of their beauty and utility
as shown IN finished work, one cabinet
alone being made of over 200 varieties
OF native wood.
Who that visited that house of marvels
does not remember the surprise that
even men born on Texas soil manifested
at the show of Funerals and rock to be
found in this state.
