The District MeetIngs.

District meetings should be held by
the people of each district of the county
prior to the LIST Monday in June, to give
expression to their choice for the va
rious offices to be filed. They should
meet and give expression to their wish
es, whether they favor the convention
or not. Should "a majority of the dis
tricts oppose the convention, then none
should be held, or at least no nOmina-
tions should be made. The wishes Of
the majority should rule. However,
let the primary meetings be held in
each district Saturday before the first
Monday in June. The claims of each
aspirant should be fairly presented and
canvassed, and shen fair election
should be held, each voter present be-
ing entitled to 4 ballot for each office to
be filled-a majority vote of all present
being necessary to a choice. If there
should be no election the first ballot, let
the hindmost man for each office be
dropped, and so with the second and
third until an election is effected. BY
this means fair expression of the viii
of the people may be obtained. After
the result has been announced, the
Chair shoIld be empowered to appoint
delegates TO the county convention with
instructions to support the ticket adopt
cd without regard to personal preference
until each Of the nominees have been
either elected or dropped under the rule
of the Convention. We make this brieI
suggestion of the plan for conducting
these primary meetings, believing thai
it will. work eifectually and harmoni.
. ously in ascertaining the wishes of tn,
people, if adopted by the districts.

The trouble continues i'm Arkansas.
A compromise was proposed, through
u. S. Atty Gen. Williams, by the At
torneys and adherents of the contend
ing parties in Washington. This was
rejected by Baxter, and Federal troops
had to interpose to stop hostilities
which were in actual progress last
Monday. The President now proposes
an ultimatum that both parties suspend
hostilities for ten days, and let the
Legislature assemble. 1t is doubtful
whether the suggestion viii be acted
upon or not. Brooks has acceded to the
proposition, and Baxter is willing pro-
provided Brooks viii vacate the state
house and deposit his arms in the armo-
ry. We can only hope to see a speedy
solution of these Arkansas troubles.

A. j. bird sat on hickory limb
And winked at the Banner and the Ban
Rcr at him.
They ogled and ogled and ogled together
And knew not how or why or whether
The one was which or the other was

so much were they like twin brother

Al. winked first and the Banner replied
The Banner then ogled and A. J. bird
sighed.
A. J. then offered the Banner n drink,
And the Banner accepted with know

And then the Bonner its manhood sur
rendered,
And pocketed the dividend A. J. bird
rendered.
Al. Bird will jump and flutter his wings
And go on another of his "circiing

And the Banner will prop him, and

Till he climbs to the very last twig oil

When stately BROWN bird will peck
his old snOot,
And to the ground lac will founder and
to the East he'll scoot.

speed on Narrow Gnuge.

One great objection has been made to
the 3-feet gauge roads, that passenger
trains must be run at very slow rate.
This objection is daily answered by the
Cairo and st. Louis Narrow Gauge
Road, 30 miles of which has been in
operation for Tome time. Their passen-
ger trains run this distance in / hours
ana 90 minutes, and make sixteen stops.
Their schedule time is over 1876 miles
per hour over maximum grades of 81
feet to the mile, and their regular train
Is four cars, weighing in the aggregate
with passengers, tiftA-two tuns. This
is about the average rate of mail trains
wide-gauge roads with much easier
grades. The engines have 1Oxl6 inch
cylinders and 44-inch drivers. On a
special trial one of the three engines
hauled its train nine miles in ten mmu-
ties, or at the rate of fitty-four miles
per hour. Several prominent Chicago
railway officials were on the train, two
of them riding with the engineer when
this "spurt" was made. They pronoun-
ced the motion quite rs easy as on any
broad-gauge road.

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:


Having reliable information that the
number of immigrants to Texas this
year will be much larger than ever be-
fore, it becomes my duty to ask, in be-
half of these strangers about to become
our fellow-citizens, the kind offices and
inequalities of the respective neigh
borhoods in which they propose to set
tie. Let us all remember that they are
our brethren from siste" states that
with us they have shared danger, and
that they have been subjected to pri-
vations from which, under Gods bless
ing, we have been spared. ! know
! shall not appeal to the humanity and
christianity OF Texans in vain. While
each is expected to eXteLd the helping
hand to our brethren, there are some
things that the whole neighborhood
should join in doing. a place of shell
ter and repCsc should be provided,
where families can remain in warmth
and com fort while the husband and
father is looking for location. Pro-
visions should be suppled--I will not
say gratuitously, but certainly at low
rates. Physicians should let it be
known that they will attend the sick
without charge. The minister of the
neighborhood may take it upon him
self to guide, direct, and furnish with
information all who come. In short,
knowing how strong are the first I'M
pressions formed in strangers mind,
let all seek to exercise the duties of
Christian hospitality, and convince
our new neighhors that they have
come among n wh0ie-souled, LIBERAL
minded, generous people.
Very truly,
J. b. ROBERTSON,
Superintendent of Immigration.
