AN ARBoR DAY FOR TEXAS.

There are now nine States in the
Union that have adopted an "arbor
day," and in each the work OF tree
planting has been scrupulously attend
ed to on that day by patriotic citizens.
The results have also been the most
satisfactory. On arbor day in Ohio
100000 trees were set out, and up to
date 70 per cent Of them are living
and will no doubt attain full growth.
The influence that additional foliage
will exercise on the climate, health and
production of Ohio in any one year
will be considerable, and amply repay
the labor of planting and cultivating
them. At the suggestion of Joaquin
Miller the SOth day of this month will
be devoted by the people of California
to tree planting, and il is expected that
enough of them viii engage in the
work to inaugurate the move and es-
tablish the day as "arbor day. without
formal legislative action.
In the above brief allusion to the
action of other States upon this sub
iect. the HERALD has intended merely
to direct the public mind to the i'm
portance of tree planting in Texas. No
State in the Union would be more
benefited by such move. A hun
dred thousand trees planted annually
on the vast prairies of this western
country would in time furnish well
come relief from the scorching rays OF
a semi-tropical sun, to both man and
beast, and exercise an untold climatic
influence. Trees OH the north side OF
farms would protect them from the
sweeping winter winds that blow out
cotton and blast young vegetation
Then. again, with the increase of foil
age on the prairics would come in
creased rainfall and moro regularity
and certainty of the seasons. Many
of the towns located on the bleak, bald
prairies could be adorned and beauti'
fed by systematic arbor, culture now
too sadly neglected in all Of our Texas
cities. The season for tree planting IL
at hand. and should some power o.
sufficient influence to command atten
ton throughout the State suggess
day for each landholder to plant a
least ono trce, ii would be an act O
sufficient importance to entitle him Z

VISITORS TO THE FAIRS.

From every point Of the compass
there comes news of the gathering OF
crowds intent OH visiting Dallas and
seeing the largest and most magnif!-
cent display Of agricultural products,
machinery and live stock ever brought
together in one place in Texas. In
view of the fact that the success OF
future fairs at Dallas depends in a
great measure upon the treatment
visitors receive at the present ones,
and also of the further fact that there
is no longer a doubt that the largest
crowd Of people ever gathered TO-
gctber on a similar occasion will be
here, it does seem that there
should be more general interest
manifested among the citizens upon
the subject of providing homes for the
visitors. Some have suggested that
the fsir directors attend to the matter;
others have proceeded upon the theory
that the managers of the fairs are to
be the chief bencficiaries, and, there
fore. are in duty bound to see that WIS.,
itors are properly cared for. Both are
in error The directors OF both 1airs
have their hands full in arranging for
exhibits at the fairs, and as to the BEN
Gifts, resulting from the ingathering OF
the people, they will be enjoyed by
every man whose living is made III
Dallas. whether he be a merchant, law
yer. doctor or mechanic. Ii public
attention is attracted TO this growing
city by viltue of the fairs ana
men from abroad are induced
to come here and spend their
money and invest their capital among
us. there can be no exclusive appro-
priation of such benefits. They Will
be shared by every citizen in proper
ton as he may have Interests i'll the
city, and the people of an classes are
indebted to the men who have IN
vested their money and given their
time to an enterprise that will rebound
TO the advantage Of this city for all
time TO come.
1t is a sacred duty that every citizen
of this city owes to himself as COM
ponent part of Dallas to help in enter
tanning visitors to the fairs There are
but few people in the city who cannot
furnish sleeping room for at least one
person, and those who arc willing to
do SO should report tho fact at once.

The whole world seems to be
aroused TO the dangers Of class lcglsla-
ton and the rapid formation of "rul-
ing elements" who obey the behests
of those who hold the purse strings to
the longest purses. Even the Canadian
subject, who was supposed to have
grown cold and callous, and impervi-
GUS to any influence not emanating
from staid old England, Is "all broke
up" by the efforts of some who have
the temerity to rcbukc the tendency
to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer by legislation.
Ware to have new county attor-
new for the next two years. We want
one who will not stop to inquire
whether the law is in accordance with
his views or not and will "hew to the
line lot the chips fall where they may"
The retiring county attorney has done
well and for successor we need q
man with as much grit and nerve and
determination.

reports prowling around in New

Texas, they would do the whole State

the preachers who can 60 without

IN MEMORIAM.
Leander Berry, Aged 80 Years,

The news of the death of Leander
Berry was apainful surprise to his rela-
tiOns and many friends in this town.
Midnight, hale and hearty, half our la
ter, dead, Truly, life is but gust.
The writer knew Leander intimately.
Knew his sterling qualities of hand and
heart. Kind and generous; and self
sacrificing when others could be made
happy thereby. Genial and affable, he
had drawn around him a host of friends.
In him, it can be truly said, the elements
were SO combined as to make an upright
man, true friend.
And so young to die. In the prime of
manhood when life held so many attrac-
tions. The laws of Death are indeed
vigorous.
\ wife and four children in sore afflic-
ton; an aged father and mother to de-
plore great loss; friends filled with re-
gret and sorrow.
Such is the will of God.
May lie assuage their grief. .i

THE STIKE.

The great strike has ended. Apparent
ly it has resulted in victory for the
Knights of Labor. 1t was a contest be-
tween labor and a gigantic corporation,
and labor maintained its own. The
strike has been costly one to the rail
road company. And it has demonstrated
a fact. which the people were not slow
to see. and that is, the great power Of
the railroads, and the immense mischief,
it may infiict upon the public when the
time and occasion may make it an object
to do 80. The people have learned that
the managers. whose honor is limited
only by their rapacity, could form a COM
binatiOn that would paralize the indus
tries of the country. Hence is it nO
high time that these corporations be sur
rounded by the most stringent laws that
their power, for evil, be held within pro-
per bound? Such legislation is urgently
demanded. And the enactment OF such
laws as will be force the acceptatiOn OF
arbitration between capital and the re-
preventative of labor is, so of urgent
necessity. Labor must have the same
rights, as capital if We want stability in
transpol tation. Capital organizes for
profit, labor should be permitted to form
association for self-protectiOn. The la
borer is worthy Of his time and this fact
must be recognized by capital, even If
such recognition must be enforced by
the most stringent legislation.

Rev. Father Jan, in his sermon, last

vOtiOns. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
the Rev. Father will continue his efforts

The fact of the sinking of the Steamer
Mary Lewis, by striking an obstruction,
opposite the plantation of Steele & Clark
near PattersOnville, is, by this time pref
ty generally known, as, also, the explo-
sion on the Steamer Barmore, near the
same place. Two lives were lost by the
first accident, and four persons were
severely scalded by the explosion. One
of the two by the Lewis sinking was Le-
ander Berry, second engineer, who, it is
believed, was either taken with cramps
in the water, or, was struck senseless,
thus drowning. Young Berry was raised
in this town, was well liked by every one,
and had a large circle Of friends who
will sincerely deplore his death. He
was married to Miss Fleming, and had
four small children. He has been living
in New Iberia for the past seven or eight
years. The Messenger extends its heart
felt sympathy to the family in their great
bereavement.
