IEN AND STRIKES

Some uneasiness and many evil fore.
bodiDgs are beginning to be manifested in
the eastern states, and particularly the
trade and moneyed centres, by reason Of
the present unprecedented strike in the
United States. There is no doubt that if
prolongc for any considerable time,
the suffering among the poor, and losses
and disasters to capital will be unusually
great in many quarters. Idle mills
and idle men will certainly pro-
duce unhappy consequences, and such
as every well-wisher of his country must
deplore, but to some the ruin will only
prove source of profits. We cannot see
that but such must be the case with Texas.
We have comparatively no manufactures,
and, therefore, no laborers TO strike, but on
the other hand, we have in abundance
those things, and those only, that
both the capitalist and the strik-
er of other sections must have
at whatever cost. Our wealth consists in
possessing everything necessary to mans
support-corn, cotton, beef wheat, oats,
sugar, ETC., etc, and the promise Of the
yield of these products this year with us is
most encouraging. The rest Of the Union
might strike, or fail in buginess-the PEG.
pie Of Texas, with but little effort,
would still remain secure from want
or riot If the rest of the
Union should experience famine, the salu-'
brity and variety of climate, and the multi
plicity of productions, would enable Texas
to become the granary. Added to this is
the fact that our pursuits are such that the
idle thousands of mechanics and mill
worlmcn who know nothing else are in no
danger of oyerrunning us and filling
our towns with needy and use
less non-producing people. In other words
and in short, We may almost regard Texas
as the producer, with the other sections Of
the country in large part as the consumer
of It's products. Such facts in such emer-
gencies as the present are extremely graft
Tying, and are well-calcuiated TO cause
feeling of perfect security in
all the various avenues Of trade within the
state. There is no necessity for fear here,
and the general feeling of uneasiness need
not be for a moment INDUCED by our peo-
pie. We are as state almost selfsustain-
ing and independent in every respect, and
the fact is but another Of many evidences
of the greatness Of the state and its desira-
bility as a home.

Hon. II. S. Walker for the Supreme Bench
NJ "a, rds,or oc tho IInra1J


GALVESTON, Tex, June 6, lSS2.-Upor
he state convention soon to assemble will
devolve the responsible duty of selecting
for the great state of Texas hersupreme jul
dietary. 1t is to be hoped that the conven'
ton III its selections for the bench will look
closely to the attainments AS lawyers and
jurists of the men proposed for the en-
dorsement of the great democratic party III
the coming November election. Let us
have tor once no talk about the war and lis
heroes-such things belong TO the pas, and
it is with the great immediate present and
future that we have to deal to-day. Rich
ard S. Walker, CT Nacogdoches, is the en-
bodiment of the highest types of the jurist,
the lawyer and the man, and as sucn Is
eminently deserving of the party endorse
ment as one Gifts nominees for the supreme
court bench. The closer the convention
looks to the merits Of gentlemen proposed
TO- its nomination the more gratiiied will
the friends of Judge Walker be throughout
the whole state. lie is man whose past
record will stand the closest scrutiny and
investigation at the hands of the represent
atiyes OF the PEOPLE. The thorough make
up of Judge Walker fits him for the first
place on the bench Of the court OF last re-
sort, as illustrated by the traits of patience,
kindliness and that high courtesy which
ever CharacteriZes the true gentlem an i'll au-
thority. lmpatlenCe and snapplshness are
strangers to the man; and the perfect equl-
poise of his well-baanced legal mind is
guarantee that all questions and causes
which would come before the court for its
adjudication would have at its hands the
most careful attention and no man would
be judicially robbed at his hands by hasty,
il-consdered judgment. Bold and indie
pendent III his convictions, Judge Walker
will be found apgce with the great current
of judicial learning throughout the land;
Casting aside that which is obsolete and
cobwebbed and ought to have been forgot
ten half century ago, Richard S. Walker
would be found in the path which the SCI
ence of his great profession is blazing out
for such of It's followers as are diligent and
faithful, for the law is progressive science.
Take him for all and all as Il iurist, law
yer and a man. he has few peers and no su-
periors within the confines OF this great
State, and his fitness for the chief justice
ship ofthe supreme court Of Texas IS oe-
yond question. MAY the convention do1.s
work carefully and well, is the wish and the
hope Of every TRUE IENAN.

Railroad Racket.

| A well known gentleman from Galveston
was met yesterday by HERALD reporter
and SHORT interview ensued with reference
to the reported sale of the Chicago, Texas
d. Mexican road from here to Cleburne, to
the Cult, Colorado II Santa Fe. Upon be-
ing asked what he knew OF the rumored
purchase by the Santa Fe, the gentleman
renlied:
81 met Mr.. Sealy, the president of the
Santa Fe, and asked him almost the identi-
cal question you have asked me. Heinformed
me that it was likely they would purchase
the Chicago, Texas & Mexican Cen
trial, between Dallas and Cleburne,
as negOdia'iGTqs . were pending tbs to
already they had satisfactory arrangement s
made with The latter road for the transpor-
tation of freight and passengers, but had
has not,a had been rumored, perfected any
agreement with the Chicago, Burlington d
Quincy or other Illinois roads. Mr.. Sealy
resarded Dallas fine objective point,
ana spoke with pride of the Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe, both as TO what it had done and
could do. He reported no more bonds Of
his road as outstanding for sale, and stated
that they sold readily in New York at los
and 10S!. A half million OF their bonds had
been recently sold in the metropolis
at very satisfactory figures. The
utmost harmony, Mr.. Sealy said, existed
between their road and the Mexican Cen
trail" twill be seen from the above, COM
ing as II does, from a thoroughly reliable
source, that the Santa Fe is in fair way
M n very early day to have one Of its most
important. termini at Dallas. Such an out
come would unquestionably and necessa-
rily prove of incalculable benefit TO both
the Gulf, Colorado Il Sapta Fe road and the
city of Dallas. The advantages to us in
= i al
have two direct routes TO the seaboard as
well as two lines to the southwest Of the
state and Mexico. Further Developments
will be awaited with interest.

LANCASTER.

Correspondence Of the Herald.
LANCASTER, Texas, June 8, 1SS2-The
Rev. DIR. James A. Walkup, who was
shot by DR.. eagle few days ago in Waxa-
hatchie, was last year the popular and be-
loved pastor Of the Methodist Episcopal
church south, in Lancaster. His left lt 6
had to be amputated above the knee in con-
sequence of the wound, and for time
doubts were entertained OF his recovery but
Il gentleman who left his house late Tues
day evening brought us the encouraging
news that he is doing we'll. The accursed
bullet that struck him was intended for an
other man, but that ought not to palliate
the oiense of indiscriminate pistol shoot
ing on the public streets. and the indiyid-
ual who so fur fOrgets himself as thus to i'm
peril the lives of innocent people cannot be
too severely dealt with by the law. Dr.
Walkup is IA gentleman of education, Gull
ture and high christian character, and for
years has been distinguished as one OF the
most active, enJerprising and public-splr-
lied men in Texas. The loss of such u man
TO any community can hardly be overesUl-
mated. Even If he RECEIVERS. the injury IN.
ficted upon him is irreparahle aud viii in
pair to Il greater Or less degree his useful
ress in life.
Miss Maggie Spruance, whose illness
mentioned in former letter, died in the az
ternOon of Tuesday last, at the residence of
DR.. r.. McCurdy. Miss Spuance was per
haps, Is years of age, generous and noble
in disposition, beautiful and accomplished
in person, and greatly admired and beloved
by all who knew her. IL seems but as yes
terday when she stood in our midst rejoic-
ing in the strength and bloom OF glorious
young womanhood and in attempting to
realize that her morta' remains have already
been laid away in the silent tomb, we feel
that we have indeed, suffered calamity
well calculated to darken every contenance
and sadden every heart in the community
The religious exercises were conducted by
the Rev. A. NJ. Ayerill, and her remains
were followed 10 the grave by a large con-
course of sorrowing friends and relations.
The friends of Mr.. Charles +. Clint, and
their names are "legion" in this part Of the
county, are glad TO know that he is can
didate for county attorney and mean to
give him hearty support.
Orderly Sergeant Il. I. King, for years
past, has unaffected a spirit OF unseliish
devotion in sitting up with and waiting up
on the-sick which has won for him most
enviable reputation in this community.
For deeds of true Christian charity, Ser
geant King and Captain b. f. Green, will
vie with the best members of the church TO
which they belong.

MANY of the leading citizens of northern
Texas are suggesting the name of HoN.
JOHN r. WHITE, of the court Of appeals, for
governor. JUDGE WHITE is certainly emf
nently qualified for the position and would
get strong support in this section. Others
again prefer man who is a resident of this
section and thinks that it is entitled to the
next governorship, as eastern and central
Texas have had the recent governors, while
one was from Austin and the present lieu
tenant-governor is from San An
tonic. JUDGE IRELAND has the con-
fdence of all who know him as a
man of integrity and ability, but his views
are not sufficiently known on certain Lead
ing questions, and he is being charged as
not being in harmony with true progress.
Ii was positively asserted yesterday on
the street that he had expressed himself
that he would have preferred it had no rail
road enterprise ever come into this state.
This cannot be true of JUDGE IRELAND, and
even if it is, we are satisfied that since they
are here, he will protect them in all their
rights. Yet, nevertheless, the feeling is
growing that he is keeping too silent, and
that Northern Texas should have one Gifts
