PROTECTING wEBsTER's
COAT TAILS.

Washington. D. C.-For the
second time within a week a
visitor at the capitol has been
caught in the act of defacing
the statue of Daniel Webster.
The DETACHMENT consists of
striking a match on the coat
tail. The statue stands near
the entrance to statuary hall,
just whore it is cow n ent for
those passing to draw their
matches when they want to
light cigars. The coat tails
show long, black marks, made
in this way, and the police are
watching the statue in order
to stop to practice. A fine of
$40 will be imposed hereafter
for every match struck on the
coat-tails of Daniel Webster.

In A state covering such a
vast territory as Texas, With
SO great diversity of Industrial
interests, there is bound to be
more or less conflict in the de
mands for legislation by differ
ent sections. 1t becomes more
and more evident that what is
wanted in the thickly settled
districts of North and East
Texas ,;ll not suit the more
sparsely settled West and
South Texas. 1t seems as if
some means ought to be found
for reconciling these differences,
either by special legislation for
certain sections of the state or
otherwise. It is such consider.
ations that have caused the
frequent suggestion that the
state should be divided, but
there is no doubt that such an
idea advocated by a very limit
ed number. The great major
ity of Texans are enthusiast
cally in favor Of Texas, one and
undivided. Perhaps, however,
there might be a division of in
terests without dividing the
state. Possibly something like
two separate legislative bodies,
one for the eastern half and one
for the western half of the state,
might be devised, all subject
course to the same general laws
and under the same constitu-
ton and state officers.

SOLDIERS COLONY.
General Vandervoort Prepar.
ing to Settle Up South
Texas Lands.

Dallas, Texas, Jan. Co.
General Paul Vandervoort of
Omaha, Neb., ex-comnander
of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. has spent the last two
weeks in Texas in the interest
of a plan to colonize Brazoria
county with citizens from the
Northern States. He said to
the Post correspondent:
81 have succeeded in arrang
ing with the Texas Land and
Colonization company for the
lands needed to establish a
soldier colony. The tract is
located near Eagle Lake and
the stations on the land are
New Philadelphia and Chester
vile. 1t is a very favorable
tract of good land, and one
can settle anywhere on the
large tract and not be over
three miles from a railroad sta
ton. The railroad facilities
are unequaled. 1t is about hf-
ty-6ve miles from the gulf,
directly south. There is a great
demand for a soldiers colony
in Texas. Thousands have
gone to Georgia because there
was no such organization else
where. / shall also do all | can
to settle populists, free silver
democrats, republicans of all
kinds and gold bugs on other
portions of this land. The
land is cheap. good soil. easily
drained where it needs it and
will produce everything that
can be raised in Texas. Those
who prefer a location near the
coast can also be accommodate
ed at Alvin or La Porte.
