LET THE MOVEMENT BEGIN.

In 1875, or later, there was movement |
made in Galveston to build railroad |
into the State. The ruling idea was that
il should he distinctivcly Galveston
enterprise, owned and controlled by Gal
weston people; and, therefore, worked in
the interest of that city and its friends.
The local press of Galveston had for two
years been discussing the need
of a road owned by local
capital. simultaneously with the in
auguration Of the movement to form Il
company, there were renewed efforts on
the part Of the city press to keep the en-
terprise before the public. So vigorously
and thoroughly was the project dis
cusscd that the conclusion was
irresistible that the road was
absolutely necessary for the
preservation of the commercial
supremacy of the city. There were
figures and data to prove the necessity
| for the road. II was demonstrated
/ fact There were railway influences ar
rayed against Galveston and they were
| threatening the business of that port,
There were determinations going
on in connection with trade
development but none Of these
determinations were in favor of Calves
ton. The people read, reflected and
finally, after years, realized that Calves.
ton must have railroad through the
State managed to suit herself. Sucl
was public opinion. To-day, tn,
practical result is over five hun
dred miles of road, the Gul
Colorado ~ Santa Fe railway, extending
across the State, built by Galveston
owned still by Galveston and worked I,
suit that city alone. Is there any anal
ogy to be drawn between Galveston ant
Dallas? The readers of the HERALI
will agree with us on the following lead
ing propositions:
Galveston and Dallas are both com
mercial centers of trade in their respect
i've sections of the State.
Dallas, like Galveston, has onterpris,
: and capital; more enterprise, even If les
, capital.
= Dallas, like Galveston, needs n roat

the city OF Augusta as remuneration

NEW YORK, July 1.-The County
Democracy delegation to the National
Democratic Convention at Chicago will
number four less than in 1880. Badges
will be distributed upon arrival in

is unanimous for Cleveland since the
retirement of Tilden. One member says
the whole field is against Cleveland and

some of his votes. The same person
says of forcing the nomination upon
Tilden, that no friend of Tilden has any.

a crank aided by lesser cranks.

Grains Campaign.

BROWNSVILLE, July Especial. r.
Hon. William II. Grain, the probable
nominee OF the Democracy as their
standard bearer in the coming Congress
sional campaign in the Shoestring dis
trict, addressed large, intelligent and
enthusiastic audience of citizens and
ladies at the courthouse last night. Mr..
Grain is the first candidate for Congress
sional honors that for years has favored
the people of Cameron county with his
presence, and his effort last night has
produced decidedly favorable impress
sion. His speech was manly and
conservative, devoid of mud singing; in
the main, it was review of his pass
career as one of the prosecuting attor
neys of Eastern Texas; his services in the
State Senate, while there aiding il
framing laws which brought order on
OF chaos at time when stringent meas
ures were needed; review of the Re
publican party; an arraignment o
Blaine and the local custom-house mo
gul. Tom Ochiltree was spoken of as
| promising man, but nothing ola persona
character was said, and Mr.. Grain in
| formed his audience that he will make NJ
promises, except thatEif elected he will
| 90 to Congress the representative of tn
whole people of the Seventh Congress
sional district, and will stand squared,
upon the platform to be made by TIL
Democracy at Chicago. In regard [
the statement of the Galveston News O
the Goth, in which it is intimated tina
Mr.. Grain was connected with Be
Thompson's interference with the stock
men at Austin last January, h
explained the affair satisfac
rect 10 the originator of tn
accusation, referring for proof of hi
statements to Capt. Lee Hall and w. {
Sterrett. An allusion to the sterlin
character of Samuel ]. Randall, and h
manly defense of the Southern peopl,
was well received by the audience. III

THERE is more good agricultural land
open to settlement now in Texas than
will be occupied in the next ten years.
The cattle syndicates want these lands
for their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The free
grass organs are their allies, and by
specious arguments will endeavor to in
huence the people to acquiesce in their
demands. Why should the cattlemen
grow rich on the children's grass and
the children be deprived Of education?
Let the cattlemen pay as much for the
school lands as they pay for the lands
owned by the railroads, and no one will
complain. The feeling in Texas is to-
day that the school lands should bring
twice the rental that is placed upor
them now, and still the cattlemen woult
make fortunes by occupying them.
