THE improvements in the suburbs Of
Dallas, and especially near the Fair
Grounds, are such as to win the admi-
ration of not only men of business, but
of poets. There are being erected some
of the most beautiful rural residences
we have ever seen. At the present
rate of development, few years will
only be necessary to rank Dallas with
Cambridge, New Haven, Norwich, and
the most beautiful cities Of the Oldest
part of the United States. In year
or two, Dallas Is doing what 1t cost the
places named two hundred years to
accomplish. MeM who live in the old
town, who occasionally ride out on
CochMn, Ross, Bryan, Live Oak Or
Elm streets, are amazed at the change
in short period. We well remember
St. Louis cat the same. size, but at the
time, she had no such evidences of
growth. Remember that cheap lots,
and kindness to strangers, will keep
the ball in motion.

THE HERALD.

THE DALLAS HERALD Is the second
paper in age In North Texas. In senior
lty we doff our hat to the Clarksville
Standard, started In 1912, by Colonel
Charles DeMorse, and ever since con-
Quoted by him-a newspaper which has
ever been consistent In the advocacy
Of sound, conservative, Democratic
principles, for which we give It full
and unstinted honor. But, after It, we
claim for THE DALLAS HERALD the
honor of. the second position In age,
and yield nothing to the Standard in
consistent support Of those principles
which, In ordinary parlance, we call
Democratic. From the foundation Of
THE DALLAS HERALD to this date,
although Its leading editor has been
often changed, we have never departed
from the glorious and time-sanetifled
principles of the Democratic party.
Many times we may have been In ap-
parent opposition to the seeming ten
dency Of the party mandates, yet, In
substantials, we claim ever to
have been in harmony with
the sober second thought of the Demo-
cratic party of the United States. Al
ways and ever seeking to avoid ex-
tremes, we have sought that path
which lay between the extremes in all
sectional issues. Bound to our beloved
South by ten thousand tics, we have
never felt willing to acknowledge there
was no virtue in the North-knowlng
the contrary to be true-knowing that
in the North there was implanted the
seeds of truth and virtue--we have
never felt willing, by sweeping denun-
Citations, to say the North b all dc-
cursed-the South is all blessed. We
have never said 1t, bee cause. in our
hearts, we have never believed it..We
know the assumption Is false, and we
detsst falsehood, in friend as well as
In foe. No, dear reader, there are
as true Democrats in Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and Rhode Is
land as in Texas. In those States
are thousands of men who, like us,
regard Thomas Jefferson as the great
apostle of liberty in this continent
--men- who detest all wrongs of the
last twelve years, as at war with lib
erty, and whose hearts go out in
honest sympathy with their southern
brethren in al the expressions since
the war. Even Boston is full of men
who revere the memory Of the princi-
pies of the sainted Jefferson, John
Adams, Pinckney, Patrick Henry,
Nathaniel Macon, and all those great
and good men, who lived in q former
generation.
THE DALLAS HERALD has ever
sought to be the embodiment of the
principles of those inspired men, who
laid the foundation of this confedera-
ted government of free and indepen-
dent States. Amid storms and revo-
lutions, we shall ever try to maintain
the true line of demarkation between
despotism, anarchy and wild com.
munsism, that Is, the true line Of con-
stitutional liberty.

There is o little gush of song from

might be at once terrible and secure.
So blind, however, was the king
to oil that was transpiring in the
heart of his spouse, that he abso-
lutoly so fur forgot himself as to
beg, incautionsly one evening, that
she would permit his favorite to
deck herself out in costly jewels
worn by her royal self only, so that
Clotide should almost outshine her
at the Christmas fote about to take
place. TO this request she acceded, (,
and at once invited the unsuspect-
ing beauty to the Jewel-Chamber,
where untold wealth in gold and
precious stones was kept locked in
a massive iron chest, whose pom
derous lid sharp round tho edges as
a knife, closed like one side Of
hugo strange shears over the an
swering upper rim Of the hody Of
the safe itself. OF this Golfer she
handed her rival the key.

herself In an instant the happy
and triumphant beauty was on her
knees, looking into the interior
that was absolutely ablaze with
gems Of every description. Already
she had removed some of them, and
laid them on the tessellatod floor
and had returned once moro to in.

ceiving that she had caught up a
gorgeous diamond necklace of
priceless value, that she herself had
worn but lately, and was about to
drop it to the shining floor, leaped
upon her with the bound ofa tigress,
and brought the pondsrous lid
down upon her delcate neck with
a crash so deadly that but ono wild
cry alarmed tho guards, who, on
entering the apartment, found her
dead.

Al a large dinner party once, the poet
Rogers was speaking of the inconyen-
i.nce of having windows formed of one
sheet of glass. They look as If there
was no glass, he said. A short time ago,
as sat by the table with my back to one
Of these panes, 1t appeared to me that
the window was open, and such was the
force Of the Imagination that | actually
took cold. Dear me, said Babbage, who
sat opposite, how odd Il is, Mr.. Rogers,
that you aud should make such very
different use of the faculty of imagina-
toln. When ! sleep unexpectedly away

Colonel Forney complains, in a we'll
written article in the Philadelphia I'ress,
that public men are, as class, ungrateful
TO the newspapers and the journalists to
whom they. in many Instances, owe their
position. Nobody Is more competent to
speak on this subject than Colonel For
ney himself. He has made more states
men o 1t of small material than any man
in America. He has taken more active
part in the personel of American politics
in the last twenty years than almost any
other man. Much of his work has been
that of politician rather than that of a
journalist, but in either capacity he has
always been able to serve his friends
well, aud he has always served them
faithfully. His reward has been very
small. If he had let politics alone and
devoted himself exclusively to journal
ism, he might have made Il greater name
than Greeley's and greater fortune than
Benefits. But he was always very fond
of helping some friend to an office, aud
always had taste for political intrigue
