70 the Editor Of tile Dallas Herald
i recently visitedthe above town. 1t
ID pleasantly and beautifully located in
the midst OF "a large body Of most fer
tile soil. On the south and west the
prairie stretches out to a considerable
distance. On the east an abundance
of valuable timber is to be found. The
soil of the surrounding country is gen
orally of the character called "black
waXy.n These lands, which are con-
sidered among the very best, can be
purchased at from five to ten dollars
per acre, according to quality and To-
cality. Lands Immediately adjoining
the town tract at Hutchins are offered
at ten dollars per acre, without q pur-
chaser. The health is.considered good.
A union Sunday school, well con-
Quoted and with numerous attend
ance, has been organized at Hutchins.
Colonel w. J. Hutchins, in honor of
whom the town was named, generously
contributed TO it the requisite amount
of suitable literature.
No denomination has yet erected in
Hutchins n church edifice. Who will
take the initiative in this important
matter? Doubtless the town and sur
rounding community would generously
aid in so praiseworthysan enterprise.
Immigrants would do well to investi-
gate the claims of the country contigu-
GUS to the town of Hutchins. 1t is on
the Texas Central railroad, some ten
miles south of Dallas. b.

The Courier-Journal publishes crop
reports from all parts of the state. For
three months past, in southern and
western Kentucky, not enough rain has
fallen to lay the dust. The crops are
almost entirely lost. Even with an
abundance of rain henceforth they can
not be saved.
OF tobacco, there will be scarcely
any. Corn and oats are very small.
Wheat better than for many years.
Much destitution is already expert
enced, and the governor has been pc
titioned to convene the legislature to
provide some means of relief. Rains
have fallen in eastern and central Ken

late to afford much relief. In the mean

Railroad and Anti-RaiIroad- Anti
Railroad Not Oh e Policy for Texas.

1t Is significant that the opposition
to Governor Throckmorton for con-
gress is based entirely on the ground
that he is a railroad man--as though
it We're both the foundation and the
summit of all political virtueto be OPP
posed to railroads.
For example, the Denison News adj
mits the eminent past services of Gov
ernor Throckmorton; admits his ster-
ling patriotism, his unblemished char
acter, and his superior ability. But
then he has rendered professional SER
vices to the International Railway
company, and has devoted much time
and labor to other railway enterprises
in which Texasis especially concerned,
and this fact, it is held, ought to be u
fatal bar to his election to congress by
Texas constituency.
1t seems that Governor Throckmor-
toms agency in the work of developing
a great railway system in Texas is not
open to denial If the truth of the
charge that he has been an active, able
and efficient railroad man, implies his
mfitness to represent in congress dis
triet which owes more to railroads,
and has more to expect from railroads,
than almost any other, then his case
is hopeless--he stands convicted.
But just here we venture to advance,
for the estimable and distinguished
gentleman who is thus arraigned, q
plea Of con fession and avoidance.
Just here we broadly assert that for
q man of his intelligence, of his rela-
tions, of his influence, not to have
been q railroad man, would have been
recreant to the best interests of Texas,
faithless to one of the most imperious
duties ola citizen so prominent and so
capable.
And just here we unhesitatingly say
that any man who shall come before
the people of this state ana boast as a
special merit that he is an anti-railroad
man, must be either an idiot or an I'M
scrupulous and pestilent demagogue.
These propositions are submitted to
candid and enlightened citizens, with
perfect confidence that every one of
them will be accepted.
1t would seem almost incredible, In
deed, that any political aspirant in
Texas should think of being fioated
into congress, or into any other high
public position, on an anti-railrOad
platform, when it is so clear to all in
telligent observers that, at this mo-
ment, the greater part of the state
would be q savage wilderness, but for
the redeeming changes wrought by
railroads.-[Galveston News.
