What has the Cresset done to
offend that esteemed cotemporary
the Star Vindicator. If our Blanco
neighbor will point out wherein
we have sinned we will, as far as
lie* in our power, remove the sting.
The Cresset has too high a regard
for the Star Vindicator to get its
Irish up over a petulant remark.
One of these days we hope to
hav# a. state capital. Meantime it
is gratifying to read in our ex-
changee that work is progressing in
a satisfactory manner.
The Cresset has an abiding faith
in the future of San J/aroos. It
pins its faith in enlarged commer-
cial prosperity to the idea of the es-
tablishment of mills by the banks
of San Marcos river however. Hence
its efforts in that direction.
It will be our endeavor to make
every page of the Cresset of local
interest at San Marcos.
At the meeting of the merchants
exchange last night the paper mill
question was pretty freely discuss-
ed- A disposition friendly to the
enterprise was manifested by all
■ present; but as the idea had not as-
sumed a sufficiently definite shape
no positive action could be taken,
other than extend invitation to mill
men to visit our little city. The
action of the exchange argues well
for the public spirit of the town
and marks the fact that encourage-
ment will be extended any veil*
lure calculated to aid the progress
of the town.

but the man that is not rich must
find his by standing off as an out-
sider."
The Kyle correspondent of the
#tur Vindicator in speaking of the
Cresset makes two mistakes that
we desire to correct. While we
have the greatest amount of admi-
ration for the enterprise of oar Kyle
neighbors the Cresset will con tin-
tie to blaze; at San Marcos. The

As one glides over the surface of
the pellucid waters of Ban Marcos
river and gases at the matchless
panorama of many lined grasses,
shrubs and flowers living beneath
tlie surface, thoughts of fairy land
will lead, his mind in flights of fan-
cy. Once break the crystal surface
and bring within reach of ones
nostrils but a single blade of grass
and the charm is over. Ough! How
disgustingly fishy this green and
purple loveliness becomes.

Hon. James F. Miller.
bocomes Chairman of the Com-
mittee on Banking and Currency
upon Gov. Curtin’s refusal to accept
the Chairmanship. It is one of the
most important committees of the
House. It was this committee of
which Garfield was Chairman a
dozen years, and affords excellent
opportunity for the display of par-
liamentary talent.
That Mr. Miller is eminently fit-
ted for it there is no question. He
is reputed to be one the best lawyers
in Congress, deeply learned in the
literature of his profession and skil-
lful and adroit in its practice. He
never held office until his election
to tiie Forty-eight Congress, and
few men in our history have attain-
ed so important a position upon so
short public service. He has been
a faithful student of financial ques-
tions. Since the holidays he has
ared all that Locke, Macaulay, and
other.British authors have written
upon the Bank of England. Nor
has he stopped there. He has stud-
ied the banking systems of France
and Germany, and is now familiar-
izing himself with the debates up-
on the United States Bank, which
occupied the attention of Congress
lbm the time of Albert Gallatin to
the time of Robert J. Walker, and
in which Clay, Webster, Calhoun,
Benton, Buchanan, Wright, and
others participated. By the time
business from his committee is re-
ported to the House he will be one ,

bride’s sister, Mrs. Gans in Austin.
The ‘bridal party took the evening
train for Kyle where a brilliant re-

residence of Mr. H. Heilman. Quite

A Future Great Manufacturing City.
San Marcos, Feb. 4, 1886.—After
an absence of some ten years, I ar-
rived in this city on last Wednes-
day night, since which time I have
been the guest of Hon. W. D. Wood.
During the last decade San Marcos
has grown from a little country
town to a city of some 2500 inhabi-
tants, and it to-day presents more
evidence of prosperity and enter
prise than does any other town in
all my knowledge. The residences
are large and commodious, and are
really beautiful. The business--
houses at this place are generally
built of stone, or brick, and are two
story buildings. There, are in this
city two banks and two hotels, and
I would here remark that a large
and well conafcted hotel would
pay well at tliiMdace. Then I learn
that the facilitip for education are
equal at this place to those of any

There is but one obstacle to his suc-

the move is being taken to very read-

very flattering and encouraging to the

report sustains the assertions of

disregard of the international regu-

Last Saturday night about8 o’clock
our citizens were greatly excited at a
fire alarm, no flames appearing the
location was hard to find for a few
minutes and of course everybody
thinking it to be their house con fusion
reigned supreme until the fire was
found to be in Mr. Tarver’s residence
which was fortunately extinguished
by the neighbors before much loss oc-
curred. Only the children were in
the house at the time. During
the excitement Mr. Tarver was pros-
trated with an attack of heart disea e.

and while there Mr. Robert Pettit
furnished Ids boat, the Tidal Wave, j
and invited us to take a boat nde |
to the head of the San Marcos river,
and it is true though I in days gone
by visited the Mammoth cave in
Kentucky and many other natural
curiosities in the United States, I
am certain I have never witnessed
a greater natural cariosity than the
San marcos river. It heads about
700yards above the city and varies
in depth, say from four to forty feet
deep; and when the largest springs
boil up, in the middle of the river,
it presents the appearance of a boil-
ing caldron. The water is warm at
this season of the year and is as
transparent as glass, enabling one
to distinctly see turtle and fish
floating near tire bottom, and in
many places is to be seen a rich,
luxuriant grass growing from the
bottom of the river, much of which
is twenty feet long, and of a truth
lean say I have never witnessed a
greater natural curiosity; and I do
not believe that there can be found
anywhere waterpower to surpass,
or even equal, the San Marcos river,
for the reason that the floods do
not affect the river at this place,
nor does the flow of water abate one
inch during the prevalence of the
longest drouth, and I confidently
predict that at no very distant day
the water power at this place will be
utilized, and that the largest char-
acter of manufacturing establish-
ments will be placed at this place.
That the city of Nan Marcos has a
future, brilliant indeed is an un-
disputed fact.
