JUDGE A =. WALKER.

Death has chosen another shining
mark in Austin. Judge \. s Walker
passed away from earth yesterday short
ly before noon. Words of praise fall
far too short of just need when attempt
is made to render proper tribute to the
memory Of a great and good man. The
remark is trite that imam is the modest
work of God" but if this is so who can
paint the halo that should crown superb
manhood? Possibly no man has left
such an enduring mark in our city'S pro-
gress as Judge Walker. and yet in what
n quiet, unobtrusive but manly fashion
has he performed his duty to himself. his
family, his city, state and country. With
Npnted courage he pursued the even
lis way" with his gaze never

The silver len cotinusd in confer
enss to day and report they have
signatures of twOnty-six delegates
to their independent declaration
which sets forth their principles, and
recommends all parties and organ
izations opposed to the gold standard
to unite in supporting Teller for Pres
ident. There is a strong effort being
made to get delegates who did
net withdraw from the convention to
sign its appeal to the people. There
has been conferences with repressn-
tatives of the PopuliSt and Of the BIZ
metallic League to get them o endorse
Teller, and have such a strong fusion
against the gold standard as to induce
the Democratic National Convention
to also endorse Teller. The silver
boilers have been confering during
ths night and day with Ex-Governor
Francis and members of the Democrat
ic N alto. al Committee relative to their
action. They have no assurance from
the Democratic managers, but have
been invited to send representatives
to the Con vention on Bimetallsm
to be hold next north. The silver
tf1sli say they are willing to cooperate
where ever they can consistently do SO
to defeat gold standard, aud are not
seeking to press Teller so much as they
are to secure relief from the power of
the gold men.
The silver msn will continue in
conference tonight and tomorrow
and keep up the work until oil the
National Conveutit MS have been held
excepting general fussion.
The silver conferees claim they have
not yet more than half the signatures
they were promised. There is dif-
ference of opinion among the silver
delegates; some who denounce the gold
standard are not in favor cf all indie

Ancient MI ming.

The industry of mining for ths pre-
cicus and superior mCtals is ono OF
the earliest pursuits established by
man, and in remotest periods, Rs ut
the present time, added much to the
wealth and pleasure Of many nations.
1t was not the masses, however, that
profted them. as the operatives were
mostly slaves ard the benefciariss
were eithsr of noble blood or enjoyed
exceptional political advantages. The
most extensive ancient mining of
which there is any autheutic record
occurred $500 years ago. The mines
were known as the Laurinm s;tua te d
near Attica, Greece and we're actively
worked for about no years, when the
operations were brought to sudden
termination by the Pelopcnsssian war,
which afforded the slaves an oppertu-
nifty to rebel and cease work. During
the greater portion of the period that
the mines were worked, 1t is estimated
that 10, ZOO slaves were employed,
some 1000 shafts sunk, averaging
$50 feet in depth, and product re-
coverd in silver and lead calculated
at the present market value of these
ores, over $34O, 100000, The mines
were operated uuder control Of and
by the States. Mining and Scientific

nomination upon the same And
now with the feelings of the
deepest regret, l bid this commit ee
farewsll.
A careful perusal of the above shows
clearly that Mr.. Cleveland was actuat cd
by u strong S.nse of right and duty.
His unerring Judgment told him that,
after having been plainly den, ed that
which he was particularly requested
to secure, his every effort on behalf Of
silver coldly suppressed, his rspresen
tatscn willfully disregarded and prac-
tically denied, after having bsen cryed
down on every proposition and his rigts
utterly ignored; to longer associate with
crowd 80 arbitrary and selfish 10
absolutely inGiff rent to the rights and
needs of Others, could be regarded in
no other light than as direct affront
to those he represented and could
bring nothing but ignominy and dis
honor Upon himself. The State plat
form upon which Mr. Cleveland was ap-
pointed delegate to ths National Con-
vsntion declared IN unequivocal terms
for tie unrestricted and uncondition-
| al free coinags of silver At the ratio
of 16-to-1.
This platform was in effect Mr.
Clevsland's lette of instructions, and
no man could have carried them out
more explicitly or discharged his dele
gated duties with more exactness.
1t takes a man with more than the
ordinary amount of nerve and brain
| to rise in the face of 50 determined
and formidable an opposi ton as that
sncoun tered by Mr. Cleveland and his
patriotic suppo rters in the st. Louis
convention, and amid the sneers and
Kisses of soothing and raging mob,
in the teeth of the ildest and most
scathing invectivs, calmly and bold
ly assert his rights and insist upon
them at all hazards. Such an exhi-
bition of pluck and energy will moi
be suffered to go unrequitsd. Mr..
Clsveland's action in withdrawing
from the Convention as we'll as of those
who went with him, is not only en-
dorssd and sustained. but generously
applauded.
