States next summer, but the leading
opinion inclines to the belief that a BIZ

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Kindly permit me space in your great pa
per to make correction that win be graft
flying to the old soldiers of the North and
do simple justice to the residents of this
section. AT the beginning of 1898 it will be
remembered that an enterprise which was
heralded over the land was on foot to locate
a great G.. A. r. colony on the Matagorda
waters of the Texas coast. About 10000
acres of water front property was selected,
town laid off, the entire tract divided into
small gardening and fruit farms and inn
provements planned on a vast scale. The
project failed. most likely owing to the APP
preaching war with Spain but CLIPPINGS
from some of the Northern papers show that
the belief exists that apathy to old sol
der immigration from that section to this
land was the main cause. / beg to say that
nothing could be wider from the truth. The
rahchmen of this region who own the lands
are mainly old Confederate soldiers sons,
hut they want the country settled, and let
me assure our friends at the North that the
q. A. r. man always is received with open
arms and invited to their firesides, and there
Is deep regret that the colony movement
rallied. The veteran in his old age seeking
to prolong life in a glorious climate, where
the SOIL ranges from five to ten feet in
depth and is as fertile as the valley OF the
Nile can readily get land on time and pay
for 1t at pleasure, and he Will find that he
IS most welcome. The great bulk of us
came here i'm the last few years from points
farther north, and men from Iowa, Illinois
ana other States are very numerous with
us. This IS a big country and "a rich one
but needs developing. The land can be
worked every month in the year, the climate
being as semi tropical as Florida. 1t is an
ideal spot for the old veteran and he is
wanted. He can vary life on his little farm
which he can get cheap and on time TO suit
himself, by hunting and fishing. The waters
TEEN with millions of fish and oysters, and
shipping same TO the big markets is a regu-
lar business. Why think of Cuba or Hawaii?

the literary, not the middle weight class
For a year or more we have placed Mr.. Sell
by easily up among those glorious Indiana
romancers led by General Wallace, James
Whitcomb Riley, Maurice Thompson and
Maurice Egan. Mr.. Selby's writings have
occupied prominent places in the columns of
the daily newspapers, and we venture to
say that not newspaper in the country has
not been proud to receive a communication
from his facile pen. In an evil moment
however. Mr.. Selby was persuaded to desist
from writing and &C to fighting, and the
baneful consequences of this error of iudg-
ment were noted in the dispatches from the
Lenox Athletic Club last Tuesday night. We
have long deplored this singular fatuous-
ness on the part of literary men who desert
the tiowery meads of romance and chivalry
for the perils of the roped ring. The down.
fall of James Corbett. one of the easiest
and most prolific writer's of the century,
dated from his desertion of the fairy muse
and now Mr.. Selby, who was surely winning
a place among the immortals for his flights
or fancy, has forever tumbled from a seat
on Olympus by rashly endeavoring to sub
stantiate fiction with fact. No man can
serve two masters. Literature and the prize
ring can never cohere. We trust that the
fate OF Mr.. Corbett and Mr. Mccoy viii re-
main forever as a potent warning to our
literary friends whose exploits are largely
confined to the triumphs of the pen. Mr.
