JUDGE RuRKHART.

In yesterdays resume of the personnel
OF the republican state ticket the name
OF Hon. VIM. Ii. Burkhart, candidate
for associate justice OF the supreme
court, was omitted; Judge Evans, being
on record as opposed TO an elective judi
ciary, did not deem it consistent TO in
clude the name of associate justice in
his recommendations. Not that Mr..
Evans has any objections to Mr.. Burk-
hart for that position; COntrarywise, he
speaks of Judge Burkhart as u man of
irreproachable character, one of the
finest jurists on the bench in Texas, and
a man who would confer dignity upon
the office should he be elected to fill il.
Judge Burkhart is 4 native Texan. lie
was born and reared in this state, and
received his legal training in the courts
OF this common wealth. lie has been a
republican ever since the organization
of the republican party in Texas, but,
deeming active political craftsmanship In
consistent with his position as judge,
has taken no active part in politics.
Judge Burkhart has been upon the
bench continuously for nearly twenty
years; prior to 1870 as county judge;
since thst date as district judge. He now
presides over the bench in the twenty
third district, and resides at Richmond,
Fort Bend county. Judge Burkhart is
still young man, in the very prime of
life and hardly come to the full measure
OF his intellectual powers. He is
growing man. Possessed of an unusual
ly well balanced judgment, thoroughly
read In the law, eminently judicial in
the cast Of his mind, he has approved
himself most excellent jurist. His
record as district judge is inferior to
none In the state, and 1t is an open ques-
ton If any other district judge in Texas
has had so few OF his decisions reversed
by the supreme court. Judge Burkhart
will carry the vote Of all his section OF
the state irrespective of party. The re-
publicans Of Texas have honored them
selves in this attempt to confer honor
upon SO distinguished jurist as Judge
Burkhart is known to be, and his nom
ination Is one SO every way fitting TO be
made that it will add great strength to
the really strong ticket put forth by the
Waco convention.

THE citizens Of San Antonio are hay-

in the forthcoming series OF Cavalry
band concerts at Mahnoke's garden.
wilhelm Marx, the brilliant young vlo-
linist, is the present leader Of the band,
and we hope our citizens will show their
appreciation OF his wonderful me rits as
violInist by full attendance. The
reputation Of the Eighth Cavalry band
is its best advertisement. The mere fact
that the citizens are so frequently
treated to free concerts by the courtesy
Of the post commander, and the kind
ofthis band should not stand in the way
Of as full an attendance as would be &C.
corded an equally brilliant entertain
ment by strangers.

The communication signed Lawyer,
found in another column OF this issue,
only emphasizes the necessity of making
fight against the present order of
things in Texas, and pushing the battle
along the line in favor of the legal rights
Of the people. These legal rights having
been secured, the officers of justice held
TO strict accountability for all their
acts, the people may make one more
step in advance and demand the redress
OF their legalized wrongs. The act of
the Justice" complained of by Lawyer
is a clear Infringement of the statute,
and exposes the officer who held that
man imprisoned for over three weeks for
debt liable to impeachment. The man
of whom Lawyer" complains was
obliged to pawn his clothing in order to
pay the costs taxed against him, the
"justice" refusing to permit him even to
work it out on the street. Such out
RACES in the name of law demand re-
dress.

The quarrel in the Mexican ranks in
this city, Of which the LIGHT gave due
notice yesterday, and the insult gratui-
tously offered the Mexican and colOred
assemblies Of X. OF L. in this city, are
destined.to bear political fruit after a
few days. The better portion of the
Mexican voters OF this city are getting
very tired Of being herded at the polls,
and symptoms OF revolt have been in
the air for year past. Matters are at
last focused, and it is sincerely to be
hoped that Bexar county has seen the
beginning of the end of this subyersion
OF the ballot by those who hitherto have
controlled the Mexican vote In this city.

 The preacher explained. The judge laughed. "Why, my dear man," said he, "that fellow was arrested for drunk. enness and disorderly conduct. He couldn't pay his fine but said that you were friend of his and that you would go on twenty-five dollar bond for hlm, and requested that a policeman be sent to your house with him. You signed the bond, and as the fellow is gone l reckon you'll have it to pay. Don't be in a hurry, sir. By the way, shall l send 6 policeman out afteE the money. Sorry" The preacher was gone.

THEY WERE GENUINE.

A man came to Little Rock several days ago for the purpose of starting . daily newspaper but as he lost all his money under such sounds as "card 2i" and ace of spades" he was forced to sell his jewelry. At last he was driven to such an extremity that he offered to sell Bismarck's autograph. He said that he would take ten dollars fer the card which bore his signature. He hated to part with it but he saw no other chance of getting money.
 :" 1 don't care for Bism arck's signature" !" said a gentleman. for believe in pat ronizing home institutions. Now, I'll tell you what I'll do. am collecting the autographs of well known Arkansaw men and I'll give you five dollars for the sig nature of the secretary of state. He is very peculiar and has often refused me but by persistence you might get it.
 The man said that he would try. He went away and after an hour had pa ssed |, he returned.
 "Did you get it2"
 "Oh, yes."
 "Did you have much trouble ?"
 Considerable. He swore ct erst that should not have 1t, but went to work on him in earnest and at last he yielded. Here it is," handing the gentleman card.
 "Now let me see Bismarck's signature. An !" he added when the great German s |" fist was shown him, "his handwriting resembles that of our secretary"
 "That's fact, there is some resem- blance."
 "Are you sure the signatures are gen. uineT
 "Oh, I know they are. You may have both of them for fifteen dollars"
 "Cheap enough"
 "Dirt cheap. What do you say3"
 "As l said before, l don't care anything about Bismarck, but if knew the secre. tary's autograph to be genuine. l would buy it."
 "l1l swear it is genuine. Why, saw him write it."
 "You may be honest, but somehow suspect you"
 "Why so2"
 "Because l am :he secretary Of state."
