Sats the San Autoio Express
HThe people along the lower io
xrande are taking hold of the pick
at line railway scheme with earnest
iiess apd determination If fchey
vrill pull together not a part hold-
back with the expectation that their
neighbors will dp all thp work
they will succeed
Ths late drouthstricken district
f the lower io Grandp country is
pow blooming like a garden with
water and vegetation in abundance
You cant keep a good couutry
down San Antonio Express
The Express is right in this Peo
pie here will he perplexed to know
vhat to do with their crops this
year The supply will be many
times greater than the local de
maud caa be aid with no railroad
to haul out the surplus the markat
here will be greatly overstocked
These are about ninety cpunties
Jn the state of Texas which po rail-
ways have yet reached besides
paany othprs merely crossed at one
corner by a single line says The
llailway Ago Jo wonder that
the people of hundreds of localities
pre clamoring for railway commu
iiication and are beginning to see
that in preventing railway bnil
ing by savage legislation they have
injured themselves most of all A
change in the popular attitude to
frard these interests must precede
railway building and there are in-
dications that thip change has
begun
Tag height of absurdity in pre
po o4 legislation was reached in
Kentucky recently when a mem
beraf the legislative of the blue-
grass state introduced a hill < to
prevent tho sale loan er wearing
of hoopakirts When the solpps
tackle that mystery of mysteries
womans wearing apparel they
will find that they have tackled
mer than they can master They
may pass such a bill yet if hoeps
are the fashion Kentucky beauties
will wear them The fair sex has
not changed sinoa the day when
it was written when a woman

GoysgsKw If ooa has sent a rous
Jn message t the legislature de
nouncing the Paris lynching and
recommending that stringent Iegis
latien against mob law ba passed at
once To us sQCRis that the peo
pit of Paris are hardly tp bo judg-
ed by poinmen standards in their
dreadful act There is no law ade
quale for the punishment of such
fiendish crimes as that pf Henry
Smjth Still all law abiding citj
jsensofthe state must regrsf that
Texas wp wade the stage of that
awfiul scene at Paris But the gov-
ernor states that three other men
have been lynched in the neighbor-
hood of Paris ithjn the past
twelve months and that they had
committed no crimes If this be
trup it would seem that the people
of Lamar county have acquired a
taste for blood awful to contem-
plate And if it is true there isflo
doubt that steps should be taken to
preyept the further occurrence of
lynchings in the state Mob law is
wrong in principle and if it can be
checked it ahonld be done The
measures repommended by the gov-
ernor are seme oi them rather ex-
treme hewever Still a desperate
disease requires a desperate reme
Tn citizens of Laredo are divid
ed en the question of the Paris
lynching Seme of them harp
held a mass meeting denouncing
the affairs allowing no ene in the
meeting to express a contrary opin
ipn Consequently a mass pleat
ing of those not in sympathy with
the resolutions adopted by the first
meeting has been called There
aro tw sides to every question
and one sided affairs dont go much
ip America People will differ
for the sake of argument it for
nothing else
Hotjbtgn Post It makes South-
ern people very tired to see sweet
speuted literary violets like Julian
Hawthorne three thou sand miles
away trora the torn and mutilated
body of the Paris baby sympathis
jng with the brute who perpetrated
the crime and Phariseelike holder
ing up his hands in horror at South-
ern Barbarity Civilization will
probably die with Julian
Tee fashionable world of either
sex stands aghast at the threatened
invasion ef crinoline May it fare
no better in America than that oth
er European pest the cholera
which attempted to invade this
country last year f
Blaises mautle as a statesman
will be a decided misfit for a num-
ber of his aspiring political com

The Oyster Jtutitsirjf
j4rasa3 Pas3 Herald
The importance of the oyster in
dpstry aloug the galf const was
never to keenly felt as at present
Ijate reports from Baltimore indi
cate that the freeze has not only pre
vented oystermen from supplying
the presenp demand but in many
locaji ties the oysters jn the bays
ftud rivers are frozen and as a mat
ter of copFse are killed This will
frays disastrous effeet on the oys-
ter industry in that section of the
eountry and it will require several
years to recovert from the damage
sustained gome of the leading
packers have been compelled to
close fer want ot stack and pricet
v V
i
have advanced beyond all reason
Oysters in the shell sold as high as
7 per barrel at wholesale and the
deiaand could not be supplied even
at that figuro The western d aler
at the last moment turned to the
gulf coast for a supply but with
partial success ealy as the southern
packers were not prepared to fill
the orders that rushed in upon
them The natural resources of the
gulf coast in that respect from
Key West to the meuth of the Rie
Grande ar not surpassed any-
where Bit the indnstry has not
beea sufficiently developed Except
in a few instances no effort has
been made to cultivate the oyster
and yet in many loeulities on this
coast the oyster in their natural
bads are equaj to the best taken
from the Uhesapoake oyster farms
Witjiin the last f w dtiys small ship
incuts have huen made froin thin vi
cintty tp Chicago and o her west
ern oities The entire west should
be supplied from this coast aud it
could be done with a proper devel-
opment of the industry The coaBt
ef Texas presorts the most inviting
and promising field in the United
States for the develepment of the
oyster industry and practical eys
termen with capital would do well
to investigate tho situation
