A too common typo of the country
nowi-paper in Tex is, is one of which
but !il tie cn bo said in its favor. In
bnsiiifFs it is a slouch if not a fund.
A coimidiT.iMo part of itn ostensible
advertisements ure "dead," un 1 the
unfortunate who once gets an adver
tisement in its oJuiniitt is frequently
unable to get it out again. Long

sends out his paper to whoever will
agree to tako it, risking the chances
of gettiug any pay. llo charges on
ly about half the rates of respectable
newspapers (save wheu u chance to
"gouge" occurs.) aud his advertising
space is dear at that.
As regards questions of public in
terest, he manifests no fixed princi
ples, but is a tiino-server, trying to
please all. His grand supposed win
ning card is to praise everybody alike
aud indiscriminately, to "lay it on

consequence is, no is everyoouys

Tho literary staple of his paper,
(aside from its profuse, gratuitous
puffs) is mado up of poor littld items
of street corner news and curbstone
gossip. It advances no idea, dis
cusses no principle, but is infatuated
with the idea that its line of small

But tho roador may inquire, what

people of the country, full value re

patrons. Editorially it scorns to
indulge in ' indiscriminate puffing,
gives praise only where it is deserv
ed, and does not hesitate, however
regretfully, to criticise, or condemn,
where its paramount duty to tho
public so requires.
Nor doos it seek to ovado or tem

Ou tho contrary, it
is always ready to show its hand, and
always on tho side of tho pcoplo

wisdom, but claims tho simple privi

He forgets lu it wo gave as our chief

The Austin Statesman expresses the
opinion that tho pistol law is a fail
ure. It does not look much like a
failure in this, Milum county, when
at the last term of the county court,
there woro four or five convictions
with the jail penally attached. Tho
pistol law is not responsible for train,
stage, or highway robberies. Ex.
This law has only been a failure
where it 1ms not been impartially
enforced, and scions of tho "first
families havo been hold exempt by
public sentiment dictating the faith
lessness of oCIeials.
Ex-Limd Commissioner Walsh Strikes

ty in Western Texas.
The Austin Statesman a short time
since interviewed C.ipt Walsh on the
subject of irrigation, which is fast be
coming the paramount question
in tho filturo of Texas. Wo copy
LUC lULUi V1UW UUIOYV
"Cantaiu, Mr. Wooldridgo in his
remarks before the board of tmdo re
ferred to vou as being interested in
ho irrigation project now under
discussion. Hive you given the
question anv'special study "
"I have, for years, fooeu convinced
of tho practicability and advisability
of irrigating the Colorado valley, und
for tho past year havo been urging
its advantages. I have discussed the
nuestioii with many of our most
wealthy ami enterprising citizens, and
am gratified to hiM tho l'leu lias at
last assumed a question of mode.
The valley will certainly be irrigated
in the near future."
"Did you read Mr. Wooldridge's
article in last Sunday's i-tsue ?"
"I did, and in the main feature.",
viz.:. that it is practical and that it is
a necessity, I agree with him."
"Did you hear Judge Terrell's re
marks on the subject before the
board of trade V
"I did, and was sorry ho mado
them. I am no more anxious than
the judge to advt rliso our country
as a desert, but I recognize tho fact
that agriculture hero without irriga
tion is a lottery. It is true that no
man depending upon farming for a
living iu this country will ever starve,
but why struggle for a bare subsist
ence when a liltio enterprise and
capital will maka agriculture a source
of wealth both to tho individual and
and to the whole city and county ?"
"The judge says that in thirty-five
years residence in this county he has
known but ono failure of crops, viz :
IS 17. If ho means by failure tho on?
ly year iu which nothing was made,
he may bo right, but tho farmer who
toils for twelve months and docs not
harvest enough to pay for tho years'
supplies is firmly convinced that he
ha made a failure."

and agriculturists to visit our section

our unfailing supply of water, it will
not militate against our interest to
say that irrigation is always an ad
vantage aud bometimct. ft necessity.
Two-ity years ago Colorado was an
alkali desert cowred with sagebrush.
To-day tho one little town of Greeley
pays taxes on nearly as much prop
erty as Travis county. Au irrigation
scheme which had its origin in the
muscle of live pioneers, has develop
ed into a corporation with thirty-five
miles of niaind und over three hun
dred miles of ditches, and a properly
assessed at nearly five millions of
dollars. Irrigation is the direct and
sole factor of this wealth.
When the gold fields of California
refused to longer yield their fabulous
wealth, attention was turned to tho
soil. The enterprising men vho
composed her population were quick
to leurn from their predecessors, the
Mexicans, the value of irrigation, and
to day tho boom of the golden state
is the wonder of the world. Without
irrigation, tho state would be depop
ulated within twelve months. These
instances could bo multiplied, but it
is useless, and I have referred to them
merely to show that tho fact that ir
rigation is ti necessity will not deter
capital from seeking an investment in
any country. On tho contrary, put
20,000 to 50,000 acres of our valley
under irrigation, and the prosperity
of our town is assured. Property
will advance in value and capital will
flow in. Suppose that nothing but
cotton were planted the average
product without irrigation is, we will
s ty, one half bale per acre, the pro
duct would immediately leap to one
balo per acre, and in many portions
to one and a half bales, theincreas
ed product for one year would more
than repay the total cost of irrigation.
During tho past few months the
dealers of this city havo paid for im
ported vegetables over 820,000 per
month, at the rate of 240,000 per
annum. All of these could be pro
duceu ou 1,000 acres of irrigated
laud and the money bo kept at home.
"What are your viows as to the es
tablishment? factories?"
"They will come in good time, that
is, as soon as we have a surplus pop
ulation to seek employment therein."
"Yon seem to have faith in irriga
tion V
I have. It is no experiment, but
has been practiced since history be
gan, and to day, nearly one-half of
tho cultivated land of "the globe is
under cultivation."
Capt. Walsh is a gentleman of
strongly pronounced views on sub
jects ti practical importance which
attract his attention.
