Roo m, MoreRoom.
From tiie way our city U filling up
and the rush is coining, the demand for
room will soon be so great that it will
be difficult to supply it. Already there
is a call tor “more room.’’ The ‘people
of tiie counties Xorth, West and South
are beginning to find out that the Rail-
road is certainly coming here, in time
to cany off this years’ crop, and they
are holding it back in order to hike ad-
vantage of the railroad f;u*ilities and
avoid the tortuous and laboHous drive
through tlu* Cross Timbers and across
Mountain Creek bottom. Our business
men are making every effort, straining
every nerve to supply the new comers
with places in which to do business.

—A strong feeling of opposi-
sion to the re-election of Mr.
Throckmorton begins, to mani-
fest itself in the. western portion
of the District. The ground ta
keu, and it is unquestionably
tenable, iR that if the Texas Pa-
cific Railway Company desire
the exclusive services of Mr.
Throckmorton, let that corpora-
tion retain him, and let some
representative be sent to Wash
ingtou who will devote a portion
of his constituents, even though j
such action should conflict with !
the interests oi the Texas and
Pacific Rail road.—Mail.
The foregoing is the natural
result of the publication of a
subsidized press. There is no
such feeling existing among the
people of the West, as is imput-
ed to them by the Mail. Gov.
Throckmorton has done his duty
and his whole duty to the peo-
ple of his district, and of bis
State, aud needs no defense or
apology for any official act since
he has been a member of Con-
gress. His re-election is as cer-
tain as the election day comes
and he lives. We would be
perfectly willing to see him run
an open race against every aspi-
rant in the District, and feel
satisfied that he would obtain
a majority over the whole. The
people recognize and appreciate
the eminent services rendered
by him, and will at the ballot
box acquit him of the charge
contained in the extract taken
from the Mail, of being in the
interest of the Pacific road. The
entire Texas delegation in Con-
gress are in perfect harmony
with the views and opinions of
Gov. Throckmorton in reference
to the Pacific road, and they
could with the same propriety
be said to be in the employoi that
line. We know of one newspa-
per said to be in the pay of
Huntington, from which ema-
nated the idea or suggestion
that there was some opposition
to Gov. Throckmorton in the
West.

A Dutchman lately attended
Court in Boston, to get excused
from the jury-box. “I can’t un-
derstand good English,” he said.
“What did he say?” asked the
Judge. 4I can’t understand good
English.’ replied the Dutchman.
“Take your seat,” cried the
Judge;that/s no excuse;you need
not be alarmed, as you are not
likely to hear any.”—X. Y.
