at The Ganges FROM the Bay of Bengal
up to Aira, aud even Delhi, distance
Of nearly 1900 miles. See the cities
of Benares, Allabaied, Cawnpore and
Agar, all teaming with population, and
alive with business, this is naturally
the outcome of the Ganges being
navigable Let us leave the orient
and travel to the occdent Here we
see the valleys of the Mssiss ppi, the
Ohio aud other rivers in the north,

towns along the Delaware river, to

perity? "Navigation" of the river, IN
fact the number o. such instances
could be multiplied many times over,
and yet the people OF Texas appear to
display the most supreme apathy re.
garding the improvement OF their
rivers While it may cost money,
look at what may be expected from
their improvement While other cities
furnished beside navigable streams,
must it not be necessary conse quence
,h.t the territory along the valleys Of
the Trinity and Brazos will become
populous and hourishing, teaming with
population, and abouudlng in wealth,
of all the countries on the
earth's surface, through which there
are rivers navigable. or capable of be
ing made such. none can compare with
Texas, III climate and natural resour-
ces, then why should not these re.
sources be developed, why should not

ed. why should her rivers not be made
navigable7 They have the advantage
of all the rivers in the east and north,
IN lat there are no ice gorges; admit
there are heavy fresbets in certain
seasons Of the year, but what do they
amount to? They seldom last more
than abou, 80 and never more than
As hours, anu with an annual business
on the Brazos of about forty million
dollars, and the Trinity nearly twice
that amount, and with an exceedingly
high discriminating railroad rate,
ought not tie people Of Texas to
awake to .heir own interests, an take
their place among the great states and
countries of the world?

As THE News was the first paper
to suggest that the law be SO changed
as to authorize nine jurors to render a
verdict, both in criminal and civil
causes, it is pleased TO see it is attract.
ing the attention of the legislature.
There appears to be no necessity for
changing the constitution preliminary
to making such a change, as the con.
sti,uuon guarantees a trial by jury,
but does not prescribe how many ju
rors shall concur in the verdict. A
verdict by nine jurors out of twelve
vou'd still be trial by jury just as
an ipdi ,msnt by nine grand jurors is
held, in Texas, to be the finding of q
lawful grand jury; Notwithstanding
twelve men compose the grand jury
Della ware aud California both all "
nine jurors, out Of the panel of twelve
to return q verdict; but neither OIL
those states changed their constitu-
.ions before they enacted the law thai
nine Jurors could return verdict, and
it seems unnecessary for Texas to &C
through the tedious formality Of chang
ing the constitution. Hero, in Texas
six men compose jury in the JUS
lice OF the peaoe courts.

on the "growth of great cilies,' the
towns and cities along the Brazos
have a grand illustration OF what they

towns along the Brazos Valley may not
become London's or Paris, or even a

Justly anticipate a future that can
only be attained by the roximity Of a

oidenoe that with few exceptions all
the great cities of the worle are stu L.

THE ALAMO

Texas should erect q monume Mt
near the hallowed Alamo to the i'm
m ortal heroes who con secrared It BY
their patriotism, courage and self.
sacrifice. Such q monument would
not add one Of or title to the death
less glory of that heroic band, but it
would reflect honor on the people of
Texas and stimulate the Texans of
the future to emulate the patriotism,
valor and self. sacrifice Of the heroes of
the Alamo, who are now in flames
eternal camping ground"
''For'et .gain t the 9th of time
And the razure OF oil vtjn.'
THE NEWS suggest, that the news.
papers of Texas take consentaueously
in hand the tax of raising funds to
erect monument to the heroes of the
Alamo. The cause is sacred one.
1t appeals to the heart of every Texan
whose heart is not shrivelled or be
numbed. There are three hundre
thousand white voters 10 Texas, each
one of whom could contribute fifty
cents without missing it, and these
mites, when poured INFO one heap,
would amount to $50, 900. Many
wealthy Texans are able to contribute
rock to be used in the
monument, with the name of the
county engraved upon its surface, aud
let the state also contribute ono wit h
the immortal Games Of the 1872 heroes
upon it Let it be m onument worthy
of the imperial state of Texas and
worthy of a grateful people-grand in
its smplicity-beautiul in its struct-
ure, and enduring in material and in.
solidity. Let it be reared out of the
free will offerings of the men and wo-
IN u Of Texas, who are reaping the
rich harvest from the seed sown in
pain, groans, wounds and hearts
blood by the heroes of the Alamo.
The press can raise an ample fund
for this momum mt by arousiog the
patriotism of the people to pitch of
enthusiasm. Each county off sc can
receive contributions-each news
paper can receive contributions and
deposit them in some BAN. for safe
keeping. Let the name Of every con :
tributor be published and let all the
names DO dep Ysited in the corner stone
Of the monument, when it comes to be

Will the newspapers of Texas
adopt and carry out this suggestion
OF The News? 1t will shed honor
upon the Texas press now and in the
ears to come.

The Water Committee will Present
Their Views to the Council.
The water committee of the city coun-
Gil will make some kind OF report this
morning in regard to the purchase OF the
water system by the city.
1t was learned yesterday that the
members of the committee are yet un-
decided what their report will be.
1t is understood, however, that they
will have no recommendation to make
for submission to the people, owing to
the failure of the water people to make
a statement of the nature and extent Of
their properties.
Owing to this fact the committee has
not arrived at conclusion as to a price
for the plant which they might recon-.
mend for submission.
The individual members state that
they are not averse to the proposition OF
the purchase, and will not attempt to
make any such recommendation. They
say. however, that they do not feel like
naming a price for which the citizens
will be asked to vote bonds, when they
have not succeeded in getting the state
ment referred to.

THE CROP NOW ALL in.
CLOSE OF THE BEET-SUGAR
CAMPAIGN.
Richard Grid Speaks About the Success
of that Industry in the South
ern Country-A Grati-
fyiRg Result.

San Francisco Cali: Richard Gird,
the millionairs proprietor OF extensive
beet-sugar works at Chino, San Bernar-
dino county, is in this city and gave
some interesting facts and figures re-
garding that growing industry.
"The beet-sugar campaign is over"
said Mr.. Gird, land during the season
we worked up 55, 900 tons OF beets and
turned out from $4,000, 900 to 10000, 900
pounds of sugar.
In the fret year we worked H.
600 tons of beets, last year 2S, 900 and
this year 55 900. Next year we expect
to dispose of $4,000 tons, so you can see
that the industry is growing.
''If the bounty is not disturbed or an
equal tariff, say, amounting to q cents
pound, is put on, the whole of South
ern California will soon be filled with
beet-sugar factories. Beets are a more
certain crop than fruit, do not require
irrigation and do not exhaust the land.
l rent land for one-fourth of the crop
delivered at the factory, and sell beet
land at $3.50 an acre and fruit land at
500 an acre. The beet land, which has
to be rich. moist loan, is considered
the more valuable.
1--WE are a sweet people on this coast
no less than 80, 900 tons of sugar being
consumed. The per csput amount for
the United States is 60 pounds, but for
the Pacific states is 20 pounds. Three
fitths of all the sugar used is made from
beets.
81 have never employed Chinaman
on my place. and believe little Yankee
ingenuity can always overcome the diff
ference between the cost of intelligent
and mechanical labor. For instance, l
have q little device whereby two or
three men can unload 1000 tons of beets
a day from ordinary wagons. 1t con-
sists OF net placed in the bottom of the
wagon and donkey engine, from which
ropes lead to the various bins. When a
wagon comes in a rope is attached to
the net, which is hauled up and dumped
directly where required. In Europe the
beets are unloaded by women, who
pitch them out Of the wagons one by
one.
1.-THE factory also offers one solution
of the problem what to do with our
boys. employ about 1000 people alto
gether, many of them being boys, and
in the six years since we have been at
Chino, where there was hardly house,
now there is town with a schoolhouse
accommodating $50 children.
MIR. Gird uses crude petroleum in his
factory, the machinery of which has
hitherto been brought from Germany,
but arrangements for manufacturing
which on this coast are now being con-
templated.
Mr.. Gird ia very iubilant over the re-
suit OF the recent elections in the east
as indicating the temper of the people
against any tamperipg with protection
to American industries.
