A WORD FOR WALSH.
Some Of His Friends Speak in His Behalf as
to His Candidacy.
AUSTIN, Tex, June 20.

AUSTIN, Tex, June 20.
To the Democracy of Texas.
Capt. w. g. Walsh is not financially
able to make canvass for land com.
missioner, so it is not inappropriate
that some of his many friends should
say something in his behalf. He has
resided in Travis county for more
than half century. We know him
| well, and commend him to you.
He served his country in the lost
cause under the gallant Hood. until
permanently disabled at Gaines mill.
He served the state at many subor-
dinate desk in the land office, which
80 eminently qualified him for the
Office to which he was several times
elected commissioner.
The Ham Stevens-M cCullough land
forgers were prosecuted during his
administration, and great number
of these thieves sent to the peniten.
tiary.
The public domain, Walsh was
opposed to frittering away, and it was
on his recommendation that the law
authorizing sale thereof at so cents
per uCIo WAS I6pedl6u'
Siding and switches certificates
were at no time, while Walsh was
commissioner, issued to railroad COM
panies. He it was who first refused
to issue such certificates.
The lease law was enacted on his
recommendation, for which he was
severely censured by those adversely
interested. But time has justified the
wisdom of the law from which the
common schools receive annually $780,
000
Pine lands at the minimum price of
81 per acre were, under the law of
1879, authorized to be sold at the dis
erection OF the commissioner, without
limitation as to the quantity. And in
1880 and 1881 Toledo -yndicate ap-
piled to buy sll of these pine lands.
But Walsh exercised his discretion
wisely, refused to sell, and on his
recommendation the law of 1893 was
enated, and the state realizes S. per
acre for the timber alone.
Actual settlers, as recommended by
Walsh, are alone permitted to buy
school lands.
The granite capitol, the pride of
Texas, was constructed while he was
commissioner and ex-otficio member
OF the capitol board. He, with other
members of the board, deserve credit
for that watchful energy which gave
us this grand structure,
AS Walsh has served the people, 30
will he serve them, if in your wis.
dom, you should prefer him again for
land commissioner.

Suicide With a Razor.

Special to The Statesman.
FORT WORTH, Tex, June &c -
About l O'Clock today William H.
Peter, who, until Saturday, has been
employed in the starch room of the
Reliable steam laundry, attempted
suicide in his boarding house near the
laundry by cutting his throat with an
old razor. The first anyone knew OF
the attempt was when his landlady,
Mrs. COrse, was startled as Peter
walked into her room with the blood
pouring from CHASTITY cash on the
left side of his neck and from gaping
wounds in his arms. Before she could
say anything he said: "Tell the
boys Pm going where nobody will
bother me-" He then turned and
went back up stairs to his room where
the deed was committed, The city
physician was soon on the scene
and succeeded in stopping the flow of
blood. He found that beside cutting
his throat the man had cut both arms
to the bone in several places. Little
hopes are entertained for his recovery
Little is known of him beyond the
fact that he is an Englishman. He
has been here about six months.
