A GOOD OPINION OF HOUSTON.

One OF the members of the Chicago party
Of business men who recently made the
trip through Texas was Mr.. John H. Pierce
Of Kewanee, H.. president of the Western
Tube company. whose factory at that place
has over 1900 employees Since his return
home Mr.. Pierce has written to a personal
friend in Illinois the following opinion of
Houston, not intended for publication and
all the more significant on that account
We stopped at Houston part of day and
one evening riding through the CITY quite eN-
tenslvely, and | was very much taken with its
general appearance. am OF opinion that Hous-
ton viii make large city. 1t is probably at this
time the most fourishing city in Texas The
streets are full Of people and conveyances Of
all kinds. Rents are high and houses are scarce
Houston, as you know has tide water from the
gull and, as ] understand IT, freight rates from
the East TO Houston are the same as to Gal
weston. Houston seems to me to have a general
air OF prosperity the country around it being
very desirable, and came back from there
thorough believer in its future prosperity and
that of Texas, ] think that ten years will see
great changes III Texas There are hundreds OF
thousands Of acres there now vacant which can
be made subject TO the very highest degree Of
cultivation. They can raise everything that we
can in Illinois and Iowa and many things that
we can not raise here.
There is abundant evidence that large
amounts of new outside capital stand ready
to be poured into Houston and South Texas

may expect in the future The finest i'm,

land property before q lot is offered for sale
That there viii probably be a great demand
for these lots when they are offered goes
without saying; but the point is that all Of
this spendid improvement and development
is being done for Houston and the growth
and enrichment of this city with Iowa money
and without calling for one dollar of Hous
ton capital

COLLEGES FOR HOUSTON.

How IS II that Houston has no high grade
educational institutions? The lack Of them
indicates an indifference to higher educa-
ton. OF course this community is not
guilty of such indifference, but the absence
OF colleges gives that appearance.
We are to have the great Rice institute
after while but there is no telling just
when. Besides. it is to be an institution
of a special class.
Meanwhile Houston needs colleges for her
young men and women who are now going
away TO other cities of the State.
The State university. the Agricultural and
Mechanical college. the Girls Industrial col
lege and the State Normal colleges are all
located, and there will not likely be other
State institutions for many years TO come.
SO, the leading denominations have planted
their educational centers But this is not
the end Of educational effort in Texas.
Other denominations and interests or other
philanthropists will establish colleges where
there is need and an encouraging local en-.
vironment, and to these Houston should i'm
mediately address herself.
The announcement that Houston stands
prepared TO materially assist high grade
college for either or both sexes would not
be long unanswered.
The devout Episcopallan or Baptist or
Methodist will patronize the college of his
faith wherever it may be located. but there
are many heads Of families who do not care
just what the religious auspices OF an In.
stitution may be, so it is conveniently To-
Gated and of good quality The sectarian
colleges nowadays are liberal enough in
method to be free from PROSECUTING, and they
easily attract students OF all faiths and Of
no faith at all
All South Texas needs colleges, and Hous.
ton is preeminently the place for them.

believe they are decisions. Hence they
carry no conviction.
The citations in condemnation of drugs
are the expressions of protest against the
improper use or the abuse of drugs. They
do not touch the matter Of the intelligent
