upon circular to the Secretary OF the

contained complete representation Of
the relations existing between the
lease-holding stockmen and the In
dams Of the territory, and to explain
the right of cattle occupying the Cher
Of Southern Texas cattle across the

Mr.. Hamilton states that should the
owners of Texas cattle persist In at
tempting to force their way through

for an Injunction and test the matter at
once.
Mr.. Fenlon left to night for Daring

NOW AT thio PoiSohtekot AS"'
should have to-day seaport city with,
say, 25 per cent. OF her popu-
lation, or 100000 citizens, or the
size of Chicago. This, with all
that such large city implies, such as
the business done, the palatial store
houses, residences, foreign commerce,
etc., would mean at once an incalculs
BILE convenience TO all the interior, an
immense proportionate taxation from
our shoulders, and worldwide adver-
tisem ent to the State.
Under this view who would not de-
precate the "shriveled localism," oven
from the most selfish standpoint, that
would not lend quick countenance to
the establishment and success Of a
seaport city in our Empirean State?
Because Galveston has been
so Objectionable TO 30 many of our in
terior people surely is no reason why
other points may not be found to DO
most desirable. Nor yet is there any
reason why the Galveston OF
the future may not still re-
deem the Galveston OF the
past. At any rate, let us examine the
briny waters for port Of our own, as
well as the lands for material where
from to construct our buildings, and
having found the locality, let patriot
ism rise above passion and prejudice
at the bidding Of common sense.

~ looks ~ n the cattlemens' trouble
relative ~ trail through thu Indian
Territory would never oesse' Time
aud sgaln the Interior Department has
declared that the whole power OF the
government would bo used " neoes-
sary 10 keep open this trail, but lust
as often the .syndloalos leasing or oo
cupying the Indians lands have dehed
the government and attempted 10 OBJ
struct the driving Of Texas cattle into
Kansas and Colorado, II was openly
charged upon TELL.R that while talk

WRLLBoRs repeatedly received such
sssu rances that the trail should DO

MORTON. These getlemon were per-
slstent In behalf Of the Toxss cattle in

But Mr.. LAMAR is not ain with" the
Western syndicates. He owns nc in
terests IN Colorado and the Northwest
with which Texas cattle conflict, ana
Il may be confidently assumed he
will not lend himself TO tho Northern
syndicates who are trying TO keep our
cattle out of tho Northern market, or
force them TO resort 10 railways and
other costly means of transportation.
Taken 10 Wyoming, Montana or Colo

harder and sell better in very short
while than do the native cattle there,
hence the wild desire TO check their
Introduction. Every scheme, the
"Texas fever" scarce, tho "pleuro-
pneumonia" humbug, the repeated OBJ
structions OF the trails have been re
sorted to to check the influx OF our
herds, but always with poor success.
But, great interests being at stake, the
obstructionists are persistent.
But the brazen impudence Of these
men in the Indian Territory il equal
to their meanness and persistence.
They are in tho Territory only by suf-
ferance. The pslched-up leases tney
have are hardly worth tho paper they
are written on, under the plain stat
utes OF tho United States, and were be-
sides in a rumber Of cases obtained by
fraud. Many have not even the ques-
tionable license of an Indian lease,
and yet they notify our stockmsn that
the dominion belongs to Eastern and
foreign capitalists and syndiestes and
that the Texans will not even be per-
United to drive through it. In defiance
of law and justice they have obliter-
ated the old roads, fenced In the whole
Indian Territory and insolently say to
all others, "keep OIL these domains"
In view of q new administration, and
especially In view of tho recent ems
phatic announcement Of SECRETARY
LAMAR, it is TO be hoped and expected
that Texas stockmen will at least be
relieved for some years OF this long
continued trouble over the trail.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The circular of.DUN & Co. for July l
ia at hand. In its table of failures for
the last six months, we find that there
have been in this country 6,O04, as
against $50 for the same period last
year. The Liabilities show for the first
half of the present year marked de-
cline, amounting to only $74,0O0,0OO, as
compared with 1874, 600 900 for the first
half of 1884. The entire table presents
a hopeful aspect for our internal COM
merce, certainly far more improved
condition of things than seemed posi-
BILE in the spring. When we
consider the heslthful state of
the crops, the cotton yield done
being put at. 100000 bales, OF
which Texas will probably produce
100000 bales, while the grain yield
will be immense, and also the abund-
ance OF money now seeking invest
ment at unusually low rates, we feel
warranted In the belief that this fell
will witness fine increase Of profita-
ble business. We may go further and
predict that this business will be also
done on safe basis, and this for the
reason that the great agricultural class
has generally restricted itself to pru-
dent methods and economical living,
and their produce will in consequence
be Just so much clear gain to them,
with no "dead horses" to pay for. Be-
sides this we may add the other facts
of an excellent prospect for most
superior immigration and the absence
of all political or other excitement,

THE Houston Post hits the mai
squarely on the head when it says
"None but a thorough business man
should become governor Of Texas"
Our politics are all right; what we now
need most is the development OF
Texas industrially. Texas is full of
mineral wealth, manufacturing facili-
ties, commercial problems, ETC., and
these should have first and best atten-
ton. The lard question, the peniten.
tiary problem, etc., require handling
by business brain. Besides these,
We may say that industrial develop
ment of Texas means millions Of
money and of people into our midst,
and corresponding increase OF taxa
Bile values. This beats political
wrapgling all to pieces.

the school, negro, named William

A short time since Dick Greer, col

that If Henderson had drawn money
as teacher on more than one voucher
they were forged, as he had only
signed one. 1t was found that Hen

and asked him II he had
