FOR LAND COMMISSIONER.
The Hon. r. w. Stayton of San Antonio
Will Make the Race.

From a private letter received in this
city by friends, it is learned that the Hon.
X. w. Stayton of San Antonio has signi-
fed his intentions of running for the po-
sition of land commissioner of the gen
eral land Office. Mr.. Stayton is a man
well and popularity known throughout
the state, and the fact that he has decided
to shy his caster into the ring is in itself
symbolic of the fact that there will have
to be some lively hustling for the position
by the man who wants to get the job.
MIR. StaytOn is in every respect qualified
to perform the arduous duties of the Of
Ice, and that he will make vigorous can
rass of the state in seeking the Office is
assured by his past record, which is one
of energetic achievements and untiring
devotion under all circumstances.
The fact that Mr.. Stayton has decided
to enter the race now makes the race be-
tween. him and Land Commissioner Ba-
ker, those two being the only avowed
candidates, though it is generally under
stood that there are others who have as
pirations in this direction.

To The Statesman:
1t is true that Oran Roberts is an old
man. He is almost 81 years of age. But
old age is honorable, and should not be
accounted discredit. Senility does not
indicate imbeciity. The grand old man,
Gladstone, is older than Roberts. Some
of the best minds of the day are those
which have grown richer as they have
grown older. Those who are smarting
know that he is no dotard or child. and
they prefer to comment upon his old age,

THE TRAVIS COUNTY MONEY.

Yesterday the comptroller refused to
pay Travis county the remainder of the
school apportionment due her, amount
ing to some $27700 in view of the fact
that Travis has not paid the interest on
her bonds held by the school fund, and
acting under an instruction issued by the
attorney general not to pay money to
counties owing the school fund. II is
highly probable that the commissioners
court will find relief in mandamus pro-
ceedings against the comptroller, in which
case much interest will center around the
suit.
