WORLDS FAIR CONVENTION.

To The GAZETTE: Waco will be with
you at the Fort on May II, ready to do her
part in the Worlds fair movement. We
are for Texas down here-first, last and all
the time Waco Day.
The state legislature has decided that
Texas viii not be represented at the Chi
cage Worlds fair as state. But way may
not the citizens of the state decide other
wise, and raise by private subscription a
sum sufficient to give Texas an exhibit
commensurate with her size and impor-
tance.-[ East Texas News.
The grandest opportunity that has ever
presented itself to Texas for immigration,
accumulation of capital, enterprise and
progress, was kicked to the rear by the leg
islature when it refused to pass Rrowning's
bill to appropriate $780, 900 for state ex-
hibit at the Word s fair. But the constitu-
ton stood in the way, said the SoionS.

That is good suggestion made by the
Fort Worth GAZETTE to reproduce the
Texas Spring Palace at the Worlds fair at
Chicago. AS the legislature has failed to
make provision for q state exhibit it now
deTolves upon the enterprising citizens of
the state TO take advantage of this unpar-
alleled opportunity to advertise the state by
individual contribution. Let the Spring
Palace be reproduced at the Worlds fair.

The proper thing now to do, it seems to
US, would be to call state convention of
the people who are interested in having
Texas represented at the Worlds fair and
devise plans to get up a creditable display
Texas should be there, and there in n
proper way. As the empire state of the
worlds greatest nation, she will attract
special attention, and nothing short of a
fine display would be of any benefit. This
is q work real estate men should feel a
great interest it, as it tends to develop this
section and bring new people to buy prop
erty and homes. At the same time there
are none who would not be benefited by
such an exhibition Of our country, and all
should help push the matter. Texas must
be at the Worlds fair.-[Tyler Democrat
Reporter.
The Texas legislature has adjourned
without making any provision for Texas
exhibit at the Worlds Columbian fair. The
Times has that abiding faith in the pride
and Hberality in the people OF the Lone Star
state, to confirm the belief that an organi-
cation will yet be effected by the citizens
which will make full amends for this IN
pardonable neglect Of the legislature
Whenever the movement is properly made
Laredo viii come to the front and do its
full share. The suggestion is here thrown.
out, that Mr.. Dickinson, secretary of the
fair, be requested to formulate plan of or
ganiZation. There is no doubt but what the
fine executive ability Of this gentleman
could prepare plan upon which every or
gained county in the state would adopt and
energetically and successfully carry
through Laredo Times.
Every city in Texas should join Dallas in
its expressed intention to be represented at
the Fort Worth Worlds fair convention, and
cooperate with the callers in working IN
secure good Texas exhibit at the Worlds
fair. Texas must be represented-ifn not by
the state government, then by the enter
prise Of her progressive people The gov
ernor might be induced yet to embrace in
his call for special fall session consider
