Texas is a grand state in extent
climate ana resources. Col r. W
Lowe, managing editor of the
Galveston News, in late inter
view published in the New Yorl
Tribune, presented some figures
concerning the Lone Star State,
which, no doubt, surprised many
readers of the Tribune. Col. Lowe
said:
More than 5000 miles ofrailroad
are now in operation or under con-
struction in various parts of the
state. From Marshall to Ell Paso,
in the west, there is an uninter-
rupted stretch of $50 miles. From
Denison, in the north, to Browns
vile, in the extreme south, the
state is supplied with a first.class
railway 81 stem. These two lines
embrace a mileage of almost 1000
miles, which will give the read
ers of the Tribune some idea of
the great expanse of territory in
cluded in the state of Texas. The
state has an area of 275, 900 square
miles. These figures may not
convey clear idea of the size of
the state without illustration. Two
lines drawn from st. Louis, one
running strait to New York city,
crossing the states of Illinois, In
diana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and New York, and the
other south to the mouth of the
Mississippi river, will include
territory as large as the state of
Texas. That makes the signifi-
canoe of 275,OO0 square miles more
apparent. The state of Texas is
alone capable of holding and sus-
tanning the entire present popula-
ton of the United States. 1t is
greater than the entire area of the
German empire which sustains a
population of almost 100000.
There is scarcely one portion of
the state which is not capable of
the highest state of agricultural
development. Wherever the pillow
is used nature supplies the neces-
sary moisture for crops. Those
parts looked upon a few years ago
as the arid districts, suitable for
only stock raising, are now well
watered sections of the country,
produce cereals of all kinds, as
vralI &c cotton

Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, does
not seem to be at all satisfied with
the working of the Office of rail
road commissioners in that state.
In his late message to the legisla-
ture he says: 'The office of com
missioners of railroads and tele-
graphs seems to be more ornamen-
tai than useful, and it is difficult
to say where it has benefited the
community. Unless the place be
one of more efficiency and power
it might be as well abolished. If
it were extended to exercise con-
troll over railroads of the state, to
hold in check their encroachments
upon the public, tolnvestigate and
report the causes of every incl
dent, and in other ways TO regu-
late them III the interests OF
the people, such results could have
been more effectively attained by
railroad commission somewhat
similar to that long since adopted
in the state of Illinois. A COM
mission composed of three per-
sons ought, if iudiciously selected,
constitute body of sufficient i'm
portance to successfully investi-
gate every question of railroad
arrangements affecting line and
traffic. Such plan is in the line
of approved administrative meth
DDS provided there be any necessi-
ty for the states supervision of
railroads"

only information is based on a re-
port from one captain, who, while

that was about twenty miles west
of the stream, to be the same tenn

there be change and the warm

All, who does not pity the little
children of poverty! Thrust into
world which has no welcome for
them, suffering cold and hunger
before they can lisp the word,
surrounded by vice, seeing only
life's bitterest side, nothing to
please the eye or elevate the SEN
ses. All, pity the little children
of poverty, what chance have they?
Do not turn away, in impotence
and scorn, when, in the street,
some little wan face is turned i'm
ploringly to yours, a little thin
hand outheld for charity. Jesus
loved them, these poor little ones,
born to suffering, and we should
pity them because of one little
child born also to poverty and suf-
ferlng. And 1t is He who asks
our charity in the sad voice of the
little beggar, and when we turn
away, we turn away from Him.
Therefore, pity the children of the
poor. Think of their sufferings;
suffering so bitter, misery so keen,
that even the poor mothers heart
almost rejoices when death comes
and snatches her little ones away;
away from poverty, away from woe
and misery, away from vice and
ruin, safe with Him who said:
"Suffer little children to come I'M
to Me. st. Joseph's Advocate.

The greatest industrial revolu-
ton which the world has ever seen
has begun. This country has en-
tered upon an era in which changes
fraught with tremendous conse
ces, are to occur. The centre of in
dustrial life is to be transferred
from New England and Pensylva-
MIA to the south. The controlling
forces in all lines of manufacture
ing are gathering in the south,
and not only will this section dom
mate these interests in America,
but it is the south which will yet
meet Great Britain itself in the
final struggle for the mastery of
thesworld's cotton and iron indus
tries, and the south will win. No
business men, whether interested
in the south or not, can afford to
ignore these facts. He must watch,
the course Of events and study
these new movements, else he will
find his more enterprising cempe
titors pushing ahead of him.

Method of Reading.

In regard to methods of reading
1 say that, first of all, we must be
interested in what we read, other
wise our time will be spent use
lessly. We should read according
to subject, learn to read rapidly,
and master the art of picking out
of a work only the information we
want, paying no attention to the
portions of the book that are of no
immediate use to us. We should
learn to read as reviewers read, 1t
is just as necessary to learn what
to refrain from reading as to know
what we should read.
On the subject of the art of
reading 1 think that the sugges-
tions laid down in Pycroft's
Course of English Reading" have
not been improved upon, although
the book was published quite a
number of years ago. OF course
many of the books herecommends
on special subjects have been sup
planted by publications of a later
date, on that account, his list
would be suitable at the present.
We live in an age of enormous
book production, but if the read
er's power to discriminate keeps
pace with this literary activity he
need not be discouraged at the
large number of books published.
The more experienced a reader
becomes the more grateful he is
for the large number of works
from which he can make his choice
When it is remembered, too, that
scarcely any new book is worth
reading word by word that much
of the information contained in it
has not been produced, but repro
difficulty of making
use of our growing literature is
not as great as, at first sight, it
seems. Boston News.

He has convinced himself that we
have a better quality of ore than that
at Birmingham that it is more reg
ular and cheaper in mining, cheaper
in transportation, both in delivering
ore at the furnace and shipping iron
to the leading iron markets; also
cheaper in getting rid of the slack
and supplying tiuxing stone, and
that the ore is inexhaustble Fur
thermnre a good quality Of fuel can
be had as cheap or cheaper than at
Birmingham. These are facts I'M
known TO the business world aud to
capitalists looking for paying invest
ments in manufacturing. In addi-
ton to this are our vast resources in
timber, limestone, marble and many
other things, besides the cheapest
building lots to be found in any city.
With these facts and opportunities
before us, can GAINESVILLE afford to
stand still and wait for strangers to
find us out, or will we follow the ex-
ample of Birmingham and build IA
city Of 10000 population and hun
dred factories in ten years? Let us
