Other cereals, corn. oats and barley. are
also grown to advantage, and latterly some
attention has been paid to cattle-raIsing-
under disadvantages caused by the severity
of the winter climate and the distance from
a distributing market. The drawback to
the prospects. Of North Dakota arises from
the limitation of its resources-in years
when the cereal crop fails and the cattle are
frozen in winter the people must 90 hungry
Here is where the advantage of Texas
comes in. 1t has larger variety of climate
and soil than any other State in the Union,
except, perhaps. California. The light soil
of the uplands is admirably adapted to tue
growth of fruits, hay and vegetables; the
alluvial soil of the prairie counties is just
the thing for wheat, corn and other cereals,
and not bad for cotton. while on the stiff
black soil of the river bottoms sugar and
cotton succeed to perfection, and the highest
grades of sea-island cotton are produced
on the silt which covers the Islands
off shore This variety of soils ensure the
people against disastrous crop failures;
when one crop fails another is pretty sure
10 succeed. Besides its agricultural prod
ucts Texas raises large numbers of cattle
which require little or no care in winter.
1t has splendid forests, and its minerals
will some day be turned to account. 1t has
moreover an advantage over inland States
in possessing harbOrs on the ocean, which
give it access to distant markets In quite
a number OF essentials Texas resembles
California in very marked manner. 1t is
perhaps the only State in the Union besides
in lntoh tba tl,ar NOT no
accused of being source of discomfort at
any season or cause of disease.
1t is quite mysterious why States so re-
markably blessed should make such slow
progress in population. Texas, annexed in
1S45, with a population of about 100000,
now contains 2,235 525 souls; California. ad-
mitted in 1850, with a population of 10000
now contains 1,20S, $50 souls. Yet the area
of Texas is larger than that of Austro- Hun
gary, which supports IS, COO, 900 people, and
its productive capacity is far greater than
that OF the empire on the Danube; and the
area OF California is larger than that of
Japan, which also contains 50, 100000 souls,
though there would be no crops at all in
Japan were it not for irrigation. We are
told that the cause of the slow growth of
Texas was slavery, and the Institution I'M
doubtedly checked immigration from En-
rope and the North; but We never had
slavery here, and our growth has been even
slower than that of Texas. Various causes
have combined in both cases to keep out the
stranger; in ours. the idea that this was no
place for poor man. which has been indus
triOusly taught at the East, has probably
been the most powerful But popular MI
grations are governed good deal by fash
ION. 1t has been the fashion for home
seekers to resort to the central valleys; per-

that there are better spots to locate on than
these

GAMBLING NEWSPAPERS.

The Boston Record recently had singu-
lar experience. 1t started out to print
with each issue. an insurance coupon that
would be worth $3.50, to the friends of any
person who might die within forty-eight
hours OF its date, with copy OF the news
paper about him. The thing had been run
ming nicely for couple OF days, when the
discovery was made that the scheme was a
serious violation of the insurance laws of
the State, and punishable with heavy fine,
which discovery quickly put stop to the
device to sell papers. 1t is rather curious
reflection upon the esteem in which the pro-
prletors OF newspaper hold it, when they
deem 1t necessary to offer such premium
as this with their sheet in order TO Induce
people to invest a nickel in it. We have
seen good deal of this sort of method on
the Pacific Coast One morning paper of
San Francisco is subject to bad periodic out
breakings of it, and its workings have all
along been such as to confirm the generally
accepted opinion in newspaper circles that
1t Is bad journalism and worse business
management to resort to such devices.
II daily paper is worth the nickel
usually charged for it, ana which, consider
ing the large outlay involved in issuing
even the smallest sheet, is an almost infn-
lteslmal sum, the public may be trusted to
find it out, and manifest its appreciation by
purchasing. II the proprietor finds that
the publicdoes not SO manifest appreciation.
it is but tacit admission, on his part, of the
correctness of the public judgment, to en-
deaver to enhance the value of the paper by
throwing in" for the price, some entirely
extraneous article.
Whether the object offered be an insurance
policy, deed to town lots in Boomville, or
an alleged race-horse. the impression left on
the public mind is that the publisher knows
he is not giving the people their moneys
worth, and by spurious show Of liberaIity
is endeayoring to blind their eyes to the
fact. When the inducem ents thrown out
take the form of gambling devices and lot
terry schemes. then the newspaper offering
them evinees something worse than faulty
journalistic instinct and bad business policy,
and becomes corrupter Of public morals.

GIVING CALIFORNIA A BLACK EYE.

A gentleman writes from Chicago that a
newspaper in that city keeps a correspond
ent in San Francisco who takes a gloomy
view Of affairs in this State. The purpose
of the letters seems to keep laborers from
coming to California. a sample of these
letters is forwarded. which shows a some
what lively Imagination on the part of the
writer, out perhaps no more malignity
than is often exhibited by Eastern CORE
sp0ndents. Our correspondent is under the
impression, however, that unless these state
mentS are corrected they will have dam
aging effect upon the future of the State.
We cannot recall time when this work of
misrepresentation has not been going on.
California has been described as country
that could produce nothing without rain,
and as a country where it never rained; as
a country in which manufacturing indus
tries could not prosper because Of the high
price Of labor. and a country in which
a laboring man could not earn a
living; as country where land
was held at exorbitant prices, and
yet country in which a Door man could not
afford to till the land that cost him nothing.
Meantime people living here have gone on
and prospered. We doubt if there is State
IN the Union, or a country in the world,
in which a larger proper ton Of the people
Lave risen in a few years from poverty to
attiuence. Still, there are conditions in this
State we would like to see changed. We
would like more even distribution of
wealth, larger profit for the producer and
less for the transportation companies. We
would like courts of justice in which causes
were tried on their merits. and judgments
given without regard to political considera-
tons. We would like to see our municipal
affairs conducted on business basis, so that
taxpayers would get better return for
their money. These things will come in
time, but their coming seems a little slow
Until these reforms are effected we can
hardly take the trouble to correct letter.

EDITORIAL NOTES,

In the last three years the Indians have agreed
to The sale OF 25,205,750 acres, an area about
the size of Kentucky or one-fourth of the Golden
State. Oklahoma represents 1887, sol acres
he great sale OF Sioux lands amounted TO
100000, and of Chippewa lands 10 about
100000 The ceded Crow land In Montana
brought in about 100000 acres more, and that
OF the CheyeBnes ana Arapahoes in IudIan Ter
rtory added 100000 Tine Wlchltas agreed to
dispose OF ga, 600 acres the Sacs aud Foxes 39l ,
1876. The Iowas 219, 446, the PottawatOmies and
Shawnees 2SS, 1872. the hickaDOos 1S0, 466 the
Tonkawas 10000. All these were in Indian
Territory or the borders OF Oklahoma. The Sis
setons and Wahpetons, In Dakota, gave up $780,
900 acres; the C9ur d'Alenes, in Idaho, yielded
up 1874, $50; tile ColvilIes, in Washington,
100000 acres, and the Fort Berlhold Indians
100000 acres. Should the bargain now going
on for the Cherokee strip be consummated the
amount acquired within period of three years
would be increased 10 100000 acres do
main almost as large as New York.
The New York World Is pretty certain that a
bill for the free coinage OF silver IN some forms
Will pass Congress during the present session.
The impression is, however steadily gaining In
we-informed circles that The present silver
policy OF the Government is the best one to
pursue. David A. Wells In Harpers Weekly points
out that the Treasury OF the United States had
in store on The LIST OF October 349 BAL SO silver

silver; silver bars 10 the value OF SAL SIS. 253;

ing this immense store by buying seven additional
tons OF silver every working day in the year.
