AN EMPIRE STATE,
Texas Now Biggest of All the South

Texas Now Biggest of All the South.
Texas has now become the Empire
state Of the south, having nearly a
million more inhabitants than
Georgia, which has heretofore had
that proud title. 1t has greater
population than ali the New England
states combined exclusive of Massa-
chusetts. It's growth in wealth is no
less marvellous than it's growth in
population. The discovery and de-
Velopment of it's oil fields, the vast
production of cotton, the extent and
constant increase in railroad mileage
mark it as one of the greatest and
most progressive states in the union
and the states and territories adjacent
to it seem to be sharing it's prosperity.
In an article in the Manufacturers
Record D. Anen Wiley gives a list of
railroads which have been planned
and are likely to be built in the south
west, including Texas, Arkansas.
Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
These proposed roads have mileage
of over 5000. So much railroad con-
tlVity in that part of the union, be-
sides abundant prosperity and con-
fiGence in the future
Under the terms of the resolution
OF congress admitting Texas into the
union the right to divide the state
IN five states was accorded. The
time will come when Texas can be
carved into five great states. At the
present time, if it were equally
divided according to population, it
would make five states each having
population of over 100000 and each
one being greater in population than
any of the Is of the present smaller
states of the union. In it's area
Texas is even more imposing than in
its wealth and progress 1t is larger
than any European country except
Russia. With a population of fifty
millions Texas would not be as thickly
peopled as Germany was in 1850
Reasonably well cultivated Texas
could produce enough breadstuffs to
feed the population of the United
States and could raise the worlds
supply of cotton, besides leaving a
pasture field as large as the state of
New York. If it were divided into
five equal states each state would be
nearly as large as New England or as
large as the state of New York and
connecticut combined. From these
hgures it is apparent that Texas is
entitled to the distinction of being
called an empire state.

At the rate of 1000 month the

1t was Grand Army in fact, number

were 3l,O1o comrades identified with
the Grand Army. In 1883 the roster
showed 215,446 names In 1888 the
membership was 372,960, and the high
water mark was reached in 1890,
when 409,489 veterans were on the
roll in good standing. Since then the
decrease has been constant. The
mortality has increased at a slow rate
from year to year until it has now
reached the rate of about 1000 a
month throughout the country. With
the passing away Of this famous or
