EXCURSION TRAINS from Aiexi,

EXCURSION TRAINS from Mexie$
and Rockdale will bring many strang.
ers TO Austin during the approaching
fair. who will then see our city at its
best. The liberal spirit of enterprise
herein displayed by the railroad COM
panies will be appreciated by the Fair
ASSOCIATION and by the public. In this
connection it may be remarked that
the officers of the association have at
tempted to bring the people and the
products of other points to this, the
only fair now held IN the state. In
this they have been successful beyond
expectation. But it rests with the
people of Austin and Travis county TO
insure success. The fair IS a home
enterprise, dependent chiefly upon our
own people for patronage and exhib-
its. Let our people take sufficient in
! terest in it, and the result will be an
exhibition we will be proud to have
visitors see.

especially is this true for Texas. The

THE sTUDEBAKER WAGON.

At Dedd City during public man.
Hesitation a Studebaker wagon was
used to make bonfire. A committee
of two hundred citizens then signed
and sent letter to the firm giving
reasons for the act. They said:
We burn the "Studebaker" without
knowing who will be president; we
burn 1t with the same spirit that the
tea was thrown overheard in Boston
harbor in 1776; we burn it to commem-
crate the intamy you have heaped
upon the workingmen in your factory:
we burn it that it may be en-
blazoned to Texas that you have
placed a bulldozing bulletin on
the walls of your factory, addressed to
your workmeD, after you have con.
demned "Copiah county, Miss" and
"Danville, Va" that we may condemn
your lying can't and anathematize
your hypocrisy, and that we may
make your vile names odiouS for all
time to come, where liberty is known
and freemen exist; we burn it to In
dictate the full measure of our belief
hat we consider you as the embodi.
ment of all vileness, of low. dirty and
abominable villany, and of being
guilty of sin that threatens the in
stitutions of this country, by trying
to rob freemen of their birthrights
and stultifying decency by BULLDOG
ing those who are under you; we
burn it to let our fellow country
men of Texas know that we
never desire to touch or handle any of
your creation or make, and that we
consider the despicable coercion as
treason; we burn it to consume the
spokes felloes, hubs, axles, etc., that
have been made by the blood and
sweat of victims, whom you have re-
duced below the standard of man.
hood.
Tens of thousands of these wagons
have been sold in Texas, and since
there are any number of other wagons
just as good as they are it seems rea-
sonable to conclude that other wagon
firms will hereafter have good share
Of the Texas trade.

All! too good for the sinful earth
Only the angels knew r worth,
So they have called her unto them,
Decking her brow
With a diadem.
Better to smile
When such a life
Gives up the battle OF @ Tthly strife.
Better to know that her tasks are done,
Trials ended and glory won;
Tears are vain, when a soul so bright
Wings its way
To the gates of light,
She has passed away,
But her sweet goou Will
Like fragrant odor, fingers still;
The tender lesson that memory brings
The mantle of patience DER us filings,
We learn to follow the path she tr0d
To be more like her.

a PRIVATE letter from Fort Davis
says that ten stamp mill is now
about to begin work at tine camp of
the Chenati Mining company, and
that the contract is to supply the mill
with 20 tons of silver ore daily. That
begins to look like business. There is
undoubte -ly very rich silver deposits
in the Chenati mountains, and the
work of this company is destined to
bring it into notice. The company
above referred to has been working
very quietly, and avoids giving out
information. 1t is believed the find is
very rich, and that they desire to con-
troll more mineral lands in proximity
to their property.

THE democrats carried Connecticut
not only for Cleveland but for their
gubernatorial candidate, Gov. Waller,
and yet Waller will not be governor.
The constitution of the state contains
an absurd provision requiring the sue
cessful candidate for governor to have
a majority of all the votes cast-and
if no candidate has a majority then
the legislature is to choose the gov
ernor. Gov. Waller had a plurality of
1858, a larger plurality than Cleve-
land received; but while Cleveland
will receive the electoral votes of the
state Waller will not be governor.
And this is not the worst of it; the re-
publican legislature will choose his
republican opponent. This New Eng
land method Of obtaining popular
rights is rather strange in republican
America,

Few truer or more upright men
have been in charge OF railroad bust
ness in this state than Maj. c. A. Bur
ton, whose death was announced from
Houston the other night. He came
to Houston when the Central railroad,
that now gigantic corporation
was in its infancy. He ran
its trains, as a conductor,
when Hampstead was the termin-
us, and his fortunes grew with those
of the company, which never had an
ADLER, more honest, or devoted attache.
AS superintendent of the Houston &
Texas Central years ago-Maj. Bur-
ton had scarcely an enemy either on
or off the road. In that capacity, Maj.
Burton did much to build up the
Rad; and, as a citizen, contributed
largely, also, to building up Houston,
the city Of his residence, where he was
universally respected. Thousands in
Texas will regret to hear of his de-
mise, who know him by reputation, if
not personally. Latterly the deceased
was connected with the Southern Pa
cifc system. and filled an officers BIZ
let with the same ability he had al
ways displayed in the management Of
the Central.
IN 1885 about one-third of the ma
tional bank charters will expire.
There has been a considerable reduC-
ton in the circulation of national
banks in the current year: but a
sounder test of the aggregate prospect
of the bank movement is furnished
by the capital which is being invested
in national banks. In the twelve
months ended September 80, such in
vestments had increased by about
$15O00,000. 1t is mere matter OF
form, attended with trivial expense,
to reorganiZe or renew the charter of
a national bank, and nearly all such
corporations will probably avail of the
privilege of renewal or reorganization. |
If the Mcpherson bill should pass, the
number and capital of national banks
would undoubtedly increase very
