Dallas herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1849-1873, 1873-05-31

We learn that q rumor has pre-
vailed in this city, to what extent
we do not know, that our State
Senator, Hon. Sam. Evans, had
used his influence to tie up the
Dallas and Wichita railroad bill in
tho Senate, and retard its progress,
and that he had been adverse to all
measures in which Dallas was in
terested. The facts of the case, as
given US by Hon. John w. Lane,
are these The Dallos and Wichita
railroad amendment bill was intro
duced in the House early in the
session and remained there until a
little over week ago, when it came
to the Senate, was called up by Mr..
Evans and became law in less
than q week thereafter. This does
not look as though the bill had been
l." tied up" in the Senate. We
know Sam. Evans intimately and
well, and although he was not our
choice at the time of the election,
Con local questions alone), we are
more than willing to say that he
has made a good representation of
his district-honest and conserva-
tive in all things and always ready
to do any thing he could for Dallas
and her people. This is but justice
to an honorable gentleman, and we
gladly record it. 5.

A lad from Iowal writes Ms, that he
thinks farmers sons ought to have O
chance to earn something for themselves,
TO be allowed TO make little ventures in
stock. raising for pocket money, aud 10
keen them contented at home. We think
so too. We suppose great many farmers
DO this, certainly the great majority OF
our readers do. But many work their
bows with as little consideration as they
work hired men. They take ne pains to
make farm life attractive, and the boys
are off at the earliest opportunity. They
have no Joyous memories 10 bind them 10
the spot that ought to tie the dearest on
earth. To learn the worth of money they
must have money as the result Of their
labors. 70 form habits of faithfalness,
care fulness, and economy, these and other
virtues must be rewarded. They should
have responsibilities put upon them when
they are very young, and be encouraged
to make money and 90 save 1t.
Give them hen, goose, or turkey, y
lamb or pig. and let them have all they
can make by good care and feeding. A
boy Of ten or twelve years Of age, with "a
little Instruction, can manage the poultry.
Let him to Ike it on shares and see what
he can make out of it. Give him patch
for garden, and If near q market, let
him sell what he can raise. Give him a
half dozen apple trees or pear trees teach
him to graft them, il they need il, and let
the fruit BE his. Give the boys an inter-
est in your business, and make them IN
tellirent in il, and they will not be in
haste to leave tAs homestead. Encourage
them 10 read agricultural papers and
books, AID the appetite will grow by what
il feeds upon. The farm will be the scene
Of cheerful, yell rewarded labor, and will
always be loved. What about the poor
girls 1-[Ed. Standard.

DUTIES DEvoLvING UPON Us.

In our issue of yesterday, we en-
deavored to demonstrate how ut
terly powerless we were in advanc.
ing the material interests of this
country when we are opposed as
we are by railroad combinations
which absorb for transportation all
the profits which should accrue to
our people from the expectation OF
their products. That such is the
case We assume as fact too plain
and apparent for doubt. and hence
we desist from any further exposi.
items having for an object the es-
Enlistment of this declaration; but
Notwithstanding, we are hemmed in
by iron barriers, along which the
iron horse is sent to scream its ter
rife defiance to all our complaints,
our condition is not SO lamentable
nor hopeless but that we may fri-
umph If we will but will it, aud
work earnestly and zealously for
the accomplishment Of that end.
As Is known 10 every one, and
as VIC have already stated, the prin-
cipal product Of this section OF our
State Is wheat. To export II in
bnTk 10 foreign markets win be |
impossible 20 long rs the freight

( deem il both needful and just. to them

ton of the great responsibility and high
dignity ofthe position, nor Of the generous
