Office: Number 19, Houston Street, Up Stairs same SpiHt actuated R: large
1 majority of the North Texas dele-
gation who supported Mr. Throck-
morton. This action solidified the
remainder of the state, and united
them upon some candidate from
another portion of the state. Wp
hope better counsels will prevail
in the next convention, and that
the experience of the last inay be
a guide to more considerate action
in the next convention.

Yellow fever has made its

The Denison News accepts the
action of the Austin convention,
but denounces its injustice,
And now the Herald wants
“Northern and Western Texas to
set up shop for themselves,” leav-
ing Gen tral Texas, as | sort of a
bloody chasm, we presume.
A correspondent of the Morn-
ing Gall objects to citizens of Fort
Worth and Houston representing
Dallas County in the state conven-
tion. Some people are so hard to
please.
We learn from the Graham
Leader tnat Young county is rap-
idly filling up with honest, sturdy
families. We are glad of this.
Young county is not far from the
Garden of Eden of the new world.
The district court of Dallas is
postponed, that the bar may come
over to Fort Worth on the 7th
inst., and assist in running the dis-
trict convention in the interest of
Wellborn.
The evening Voice published at
Dallas, the home of Col. Olin
Wellborn, does not think him the
right person to represent tlie
Third district in congress. Among
other reasons, equally potent, it
gives the following I
The objections to him are not on this
ground, but solely for the reason that he is
an attorney for a gigantic monopoly which is
seeking legislative aid in the body to which
he aspires. We hold it bad in theory and
worse in practice, of dangerous precedent,
fraught with ruinous consequences. His
feelings and partialities aig liepessariiy in-
terwoven deeply with the interests of the
soulless corporation of which he is an at-
torney. Its welfare has bepp ppnfided to
his professional keeping. The magnates
of corporations-®eet around the council
board in their luxurious repasts, wine
suppers and epicurean dinners. Their at-
torney is one of them, in them, with them,
through them, about them, subservient to
them;‘And 'dypr'4)»i|6wed by them, and the
eclipse is a totality. He is too far removed
from the citizen. A deaf ear is turned to
the poor widow who may be begging for
compensation for the loss ot her husband
or child. The constant association with
all the businegs .and social intercourse of
those interested in corporations and against
the citizen in all the conflicts growing ouf
of the wrongs, oppressions and destruc-
tion of human life, ripen into a strong
friendship for the one and an indifference
to the other. The appeals Of the mangled
and unfortunate employe, the demands of
the maimed and dying passenger, does
not even awaken a feeling of solicitude in
the bosom of a railroad attorney. His
professional litp is spent ip the interests
of his cofporation and against tlie inter-
ests of the people. His employment as
the sworn attorny for one corporation en-
kindles feelings of admiration for all others.
The attorney who has been constantly
employed against corporations is the anti-
pode of the other. It is reasonable, and
could not, jn the pature of things, be oth-
erwise. lie is of ike people, identified
with the many against the few. _ He nears
their grievances, lie knows their oppres-
sions. Suppose Mr. Wellborn should be
elected. He starts to Washington City,
and leaves bis law firm here representing
the interests of the road while lie is legis-
lating for it in congress. Tell us whether
he would not be, tp pjj intents and pur-
poses, the representative*pf the (feyas and
Pacific railroad ? To bis chagriti lie finds
upon ins arrival that his votes Have been
negotiated With pll the varied monied in-
terests and corporations, for the votes of
their representatives to support his pet
measure. We assert it as an historical
truth, that there never has been a member
of congress who was elected as an attorney
of a corporation who did not vote, with-
out exception, for all the schemes of the
bondholders! monopolies of every charac-
ter, coal interests, hop ipferests, lead in-
terests, tariff interests, manufacturipg in-
terests, Credit Mobiliers, Wall street, with
its stocks, jobs, peculations and robberies
All these interests combine their forces
and are compelled to suppprf each other
in order to secure the necssary and de-
sired legislation.
If the member at first, hesitates between
duty and interests, the needful remedies
are soon applied, and the patient gets
better. In this way our country has been
cursed with vicious legislation until the
culminating- poijif has been reached, and
ruin is every where about dpi} around us
Whenever any man become^ an pttqr-
The tramp question is every
day becoming more serious, and
attended witli new and more diffi-
cult complications. Tlie governor
of Wiscensin lias been in consul
tation with railroad authorities to
see how the scourge can be
abated or mitigated.
The editor of the Herald be-
seechingly exclaims:
Lop us off from tlie immense body
Texas, and both will be
us
known as
healthier.
We believe you ; and if the rest
of the state is willing, consider
yourself lopped off “from the im-
mense body known as Texas.”
The Dallas Herald comes out
squarely for a division of the state,
and proposes to carve at least two
states out of the magnificent ter-
ritory of the young empire. We
presume its object is to furnish
something for its defeated candi
date to preside over. It won’t
find any following in this move-
ment.
liey for a corporation, lie unfits himself as
a representative of the people, because
there is an irrepressible conflict of inter-
ests between the people and the corpora-
tions of tlie, country. Here is the great re-
form needed to-day'.
Congress for years has been directed to
the purpose of grinding money out of the
hard earnings of an impoverished people,
to be put in the coffers of the bondholders
and the numberless .corporations of the
country. If tjie attorneys and representa-
tives of these corporations are sent to leg-
islate for us, would it not be the part of
wisdom to appeal directly to them and
throw ourselves upon their mercy?
When our finances, have been put upon
a basis which meets the necessities of the
people and tlie interests of commerce ;
when labor shall be fully protected against
the oppressive exactions of corporations,
then, as an exception, there pdgjif be but
little danger in selecting a rai}rqad attor-
ney to represent the people in congress.
An Krtiror’s Expedience. With a
Female Hook Agent.
The editor of the Santa Clara
(California) Echo is happily deaf,
and thus tells of his adventure
with aiemale book agent (tlie book
was not a female, of course):
We thought everybody in the
state knew we were deaf, but once
in a while we find one who is not
aware of the fact. A female book
peddler came to the office the
other day; she wished to dispose
of a book. She was alone in the
world, and had no one to whom
she could turn for sympathy or
assistance, heooo wo should buy
her hook, She was unmarried
and had no manly heart into which
she could pour her sufferings,
therefore we ought to invest in a
book. She had received a liberal
education, and we should pot, in
consequence, pay her jess than
two dollars tor a book. We had
listened attentively, and here
broke in with:
b Whqt did you say? We’re
deaf.”
She started in a loud voice and
went through her rigmarole.
When she had finished we went
and got a roll of paper, and mak-
ing it into a speaking trumpet,
placed one ppd to opr ear, and
told her to proceed. She nearly
broke a blood-vessel in her effort
$,0 make herself heard. She com-
menced :
“I am alone in this world—”
“It doesn’t make the slightest
difference to us. We are a hus-
band and a father. Bigamy is not
allowed in this state, *We arc not
eligible to proposals.”
“Oh, what a fool this man is ! ”
she said, in a low tone, and then
at the top of her voice, “I don’t
wqpt to marry you; I want to selj-
a-b-o-o-ky?
This last sentence was howled.
“We don’t want a cook,” we re
marked blandly; “our wife does
the cooking, and she wouldn’t al
low as good-looking woman as you
to stay in the house five minutes.
She is very jealous.”
She looked at us in despair.
Gathering her robes about her,
giving us a glance of contempt,
she exclaimee:
“I do believe if a three hun-
dred ppipidpr was let off alongside
that deaf fool’s head he’d think
that somebody was knocking at
the door.”
You should have heard her slam
the door when she went out. We
heard that.
A Sovereign and a Prince.
Dr. Ruppaner, the well-known
American, and president of the
Goethe club of New York, was the
hero of an adventure in Pairs re-
cently that attracted much atten-
tion from those who saw it. He
had hailed a cab, and as he was
about to step in lie was surprised
to see another man entering from
the other side. Dr. Ruppaner de-
manded of the driver which of the
two had hailed him first, and the
cocker decided in favor of the New
Yorker. He then politely reques-
ted the stranger to descend, but
the latter indignantly answered,
am Prince --giving a
known name. Dr. Ruppaner re-
plied: “You are a prince, but I am
sovereigny-a citizen af the Uni-
ted States;” and without much
more ado he gently took the prince
by the collar of his coat and the
seat of his pantaloons and set him
down quietly on the sidewalk.
The prince went in search of an-
other carriage, and the “sove-
reign” rode off in triumph.

Tragedy at Ennis,
Dallas {Herald
From a gentleman who arrived
in this city from Ennis yesterday,
Herald reporter learned of a
shooting affray that occurred in
that place Sunday morning at 2
o’clock, between two young men,
which will probably terminate in
the death of one of them. John
Rucker, a druggist, and John Kilig,
a dry goods clerk, who were room
mates, and, to all appearances, in-
timate friends, had a falling out,
the character of which is not
known, when Rucker shot the lat-
ter in the head, the bullet penetra-
ting the skull j making a large hole,
from which brain matter oozed.
After the shooting Rucker made
his escape, with the officers in hot
pursuit. At last accounts King
was not expected to live. Both
parties qro well eonneeted and
considerable feeling is manifested
over the affair.
—Badger, who has been ap-
pointed postmaster at New Or-
leans in place of Parker, a brother-
in-law of General Butler, was chief
of police under Kellogg, and com-
manded the colored Metropolitans
in the Penn revolution that ousted
Kellogg from his office in 1874.
In spite of the connection with
Kellogg, however, Badger is held
in esteem by the New Orleans peo-
ple on account of the courage he
showed in the September revolu-
tion.
“What we have lost in repre-
sentation; we have gained in
knowledge and experience,” says
the Clarksville Banner, in alluding
to the manner in which North
Texas was ignored in the distribu-
tion of favors by the state conven-
tion. If we profit by the expe-
rence, the lesson is cheap enough,
but we fear that the same influen-
ces which operated to defeat every
North Texas candidate will always
defeat any aspirations of this sec-
tion. Arrogance and an over-
bearing disposition to rule or ruin
will always militate against the
success of any plan or measure,
however laudable it may be. Dorn
was immolated because his county
chose Lang rather than Throck-
morton, a matter with which Mr.
Dorn had as little to do, as he had
with the occurrence of the late
eclipse. Fannin county is not Mr.
Dorn’s to command, and if it were, j&ii.
—Mr, George F. Seward, minis-
ter to China, arrived at San Fran-
cisco on Friday, He comes home
to explain some very damaging
charges made against him in con-
nection with the administration of
his office, and if the half is true of
what has been alleged, Mr. Sew-
ard, instead of being sent back to
China, should be sent to jail.
Why a Bootblack Sold His Kit.
The Detroit Free Press says: It
surprised the shiners and news-
boys around the postoffioe the oth-
er day to see “Limpy Tim” come
among them in a quiet way and to
hear him say:
“Boys, I want to sell my kit.
Here’s two brushes, a hull box of
blackiqg, a good sto'qt box, arid the
outfit goes for twq shillin’s!”
“Goin’ away, Tim ?”' queried one.
“Not ’zactly, boys, but I want a
quarter the awfullest kind just
how,”
“Goin’ on a ’seursion I” asked
another.
“Not to-day, but I must have
quarter,” he answered.
One of the lads passed over the
change and took the kit, and Tim
walked straight to the counting-
room of a daily paper, put down
his money and said:
“I guess I can write if you’ll
give me a pencil.”
With slow moving fingers he
wrote a death notice. It yyeiit in
to the paper almost as he wrote it,
but you might not have seen it.
He wrote:
Died—Eitul Ned—of scarlet fever; aiged
three yeres. Funeral to-m error; gon up
to Heaven; left one bruther.
“Was it your brother ?” asked
the cashier.
Tim tried to brace up, but he
could not. The big tears came up
his ch|ii quivered, and he pointed
to the notice on the counter, and
gasped:
“I—I had to sell my kit to do it
b—but lie had his arms aroun’ my
neck when he d—died!”
He hurried away home, but the
news went to the boys, and they
gathered in a group and talked.
Tim had not been home an hour
before a barefooted boy left the
kit on the doorstep, and tfle box
was a bouquet of flowers, which
had been purchased in the market
by pennies contributed by the
crowd of ragged but .big-hearted
urchins. Did God ever make a
heart which would not respond if
the right chord was touched1?
—There is a man in Louisiana
who is such a confirmed gambler
that when he was told the other
day that a friend had been stricken
down by the “ chill, cold hand of
death,” he immediately went out
to raise it, declaring that “ no man
could play a cold hand on any
friends of his.”
—Kearney, the San Francisco
communist, is coming east in a
palace car, while most of his sup-
porters prefer the easy jolting of
the concealed position on a freight
train when they travel.

Coke on the Nomination
Platform,
In his speech at Marlin, Senator
Coke referred in a brief manner to
the Austin convention and the
nominations, speaking in the higl
est terms of Judge Roberts as
judicial officer, and saying that if
elected the state papers and mes
sages of Judge Roberts will be
put away aud kept as among the
best ever emanating from the ex-
ecutive in Texas. Mr. Sayers was
a native Texan, aud as true a one
as could be found. The other gen-
tlemen are all equally deserving

A Cleveland Girl’s Detroit Ex
perieuce.
Cleveland Herald.
The Detroit Free Press says
that a young girl named Eliza
Skinner arrived in that city from
Cleveland, expecting to live with
a Mrs. Cameron or Graves, of De-
troit, formerly of Cleveland. The
girl left the house the next day
upon discovery that it was not
proper plane, and Mrs. Cameron
then enticed her in a room and
took her dress from her and hid it
afterward attempting to reconcile
the gift to a bad life. Miss Skin-
ner, escaping a second time, in-
formed the police, and swore out
a warrant for Mrs. Cameron, who
at once disappeared.

Brooklyn Eagle.
In one of the lists of passengers
for the Paris exposition is recorded
the name of a man almost un-
known to the public, who in the
war times brought to the North
sad, yet welcome tidings, that set
at rest many anxious hearts. This
man is Dorance Atwater, who
brought away the dead list of An-
dersonville prison; a record by
which the fate of thousands of
missing soldiers was made known.
Mr. Atwater was appointed consul
at Tahita, in the Society Islands,
where he married a wealthy prin-
cess and engaged in the lucrative
pearl fisheries.
