5rDer On 40 JUDaE.-some strange doIngs have
Intsl taken place in Austin worthy Of record though
the Journal Of yesterday evening takes no notice Of

10 the Editor ofthc Dallas Herald:
In your issue of the 3Oth ult.,
"Watcr," is evidently very sore. He
makes violent assumption of all the
honesty, and saddles poor "Rusticus"
with all the corruption. 1t was rather
In bad taste to accuse me of being in
terested in the "chicken pie" and was
only dodge by which he expects to
break down the influence Of anything
that might be said in opposition to his
peculiar views. Now, | wrote the
former article in spirit that will bear
investigation. At that time | did not
know that "Water" had been disap-
pointed In an effort to secure the
waterworks propchise for himself. But
he has, with candor, given me The cue
and reach the secret of his virtnous
cry for economy"
AS for my interest in the "ring,n con-
jured up by the fancy or policy of
"Water," | can say that If Mr.. Lock-
wood builds the waterworks, "Watern
will be as much benefited us myself.
/ am not cOrporator, an employe,

supposed "ring,N or in any way con-
nected with the company or any of
its members. Nor am even disap-
pointed applicant for the position Of
waterworks builder, as "Water" be-
trays himselfto be. In my former ar
ticle | said ''let the question at least
be, not whether we shall have the wa
terworks, but who would build them
in the shortest time" etc, or words to
the like effect. If "Watern can build
the works better, cheaper and quicker
than Lockwood, by all means let him
do 1t. If the City Council, as guar
dams ofthe peoples interest, do not
think ais proposition worth laying be-
fore the public, how are we to know
what they are unless he comes for
ward and proclaims them? AS | said
above, never knew of his scheme UNI
| I'll informed by himself His whole
article sounds like disappointed
howl.

built without city stock, or II they are

RATHER REFRIGERATING.- in
cident of delicious GOODNESS, adj
mirably adapted to the exigencies
of the season, transpired at the
meeting of the " Federal Council
of the International Working
mems Association" in New York,
recently. 1t was the reading of a
communication from certain work
ingmen in Spain and Switzerland,
who have evidently suffered some
from the demoralixing effects of
dog days, and are willing to take
rest. They want to know, you
know, whether they can depend on
an advance of money from their
friends on this side of the Allan
tic, in case it should be determined
to get up general strike on the
other. The responce of the Fed
eral Council is not yet known, bat
we cherish faint suspicion that
the councillors will prefer the en-
joyment of loafing spell them
selves, as q means Of consuming
any surplus funds they may have
on hand, even to the magnanimous
satisfaction of paying for such q
season of enjoyment for their Eu-
ropean brethren.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

When will we, the people of this
great country, learn how to celebrate
the Fourth? We are nearly one
hundred years old, and ought to
know how to celebrate our birthday.
But do we? Do we not generally
return to our homes after celebrat-
ing feeling like a pack of bored
fools? Who will invent something
new for the Fourth? Away with
the professions and marsbals
Away with the presidents, and read
ers, and chaplains, and orders of the
day! Why pray and read and crate
according to programme in the
midst of a stirring disorderly
throng amid sizzling, swapping fire
crackers, and the uproarious laugh
ter of rude boys? Why pray and
dance at the same time and place
Why read and crate to an unhearing
crowd? | always pity the chaplain
reader and orator of the Fourth.
They are hardly figure heads. The
people neither have time nor incli-
nation to look at them, much less to
hear them. Why have very formal
prayers and speeches at most in
formal time, and for a very, very
informal gathering?
Let us do away with our formal
gatherings, marching, praying,
reading, Grating, dancing. Let us
quit elevating" and plucking"
our GLORIOUS old eagle" Who
does not pity the bird? Let MS quit
bloviating and staggering. Why
shall we play the fool because our
Fathers acted well their part as
men?
Let us have family reunions, So
cial gatherings, real picnics, feast
ing, and good time generally. Let
every thing be on the free and
easy" but sober enjoyable plan.
Let every household have its flag
and display it. Let every house in
the land be illuminated at night.
Let the day be joyous and the night
light about us. Let us celebrate
more at home. Let the fourth be a
real Thanksgiving day. If the peo-
must dance let them dance at home.
If the boys must have fire-crackers
let them enjoy them at home. And
if fools will get drunk let them
withdraw from decent society and
have their drunk in solitariness.
Let all sober, decent and christiaA
people strive to make the Fourth
the brightest and happiest day of
the year. G. r. r.
