WE ARE GLAD TO see the country
wagons coming into our city, and the
fall trade opening so brislily. The yell
low fever scare has for some time kept
.cogpt.y people away, andthe effectupon
business ip QYr midst was very depress-
ing, but for more thqnl 2 week our
streets have been filed with wsSsoiA ";
bringing cotton and other produce 10
our merchants, and the financial pulse
is quickening into life and strength.
We trust soon to see it bounding ut fe-
yer heat and hard times sent rapidly
10 lbe ,eas The activity and enter
prise of our mefe,iSls..s end business
men are unsurpassed by any We ileyYe
ever met, and we predict for our stir
ring:little city n bright future. Every
where the artisans hammer is heard,
and tbs tGyn is building up with al
most incredible Rapidly,
The gas works are being constrrlcttcdi
and soon we shall rejoice in well lighteesq!
and newly paved streets.
There is one most pleasing feature
possessed by Dallas which never .fsits
to attract the notice Of strangers, AND
that is, the delightful drives along the
boundless prairie country by which the
town is surrounded. The infant city
rosts on the broad bosom Of the prairie
like a gallant barque upon a waveless
sea-a thing of life and strength and
beauty, full of sparkling yiyacity apd
energy, and fast developing into pow
erful commercial center. The time is
speedily coming when the public spirit
and dauntless energy OF our citizens
shall SECURE for our city the first place
among the rising t9yns Of the West.

r.rE GENEROSITY OF TsiE JEWS.

y
Never, perhaps, in the whole history
of this country, has the generous Kind
ness of the Jews been more substan-
TALLY demonstrated than now, when II
great scourge has fallen upon the peo-
pie of our sister city, and laid them at
the mercy and charity of their neigh
bors, From all parts Of Northern
Texas we hear tbs most gratifying
reports of the liberality of the istael-
ties. In Jefferson they raised IN one
evening nearly Il thousand dollars for
the sufferers. in Shreveport, and In
Dallus they have been equally as gcn-
crous in responding to the impcrious
wants of those upon whom the heavy
hand of disease has fallen, and who
are objects ofcharity indeed. In doing
their good deeds, the Jews are no half
way people. They open their purses
and give to the extent of their means,
never inqniriug whether their contri-
buttons are destined for the relief of
Jew or Gentle. Furthermore, they are
organized for tlhe successful prosecu-
ton o. their charitable enterprises.
Their societies and benevolent associa-
tons they always keep intact, and Mt
no time do their beneficent lights
shine more cffulgcntly than when
calamities befall us. We honor our
Jewish citizens for their Indignantly,
and conimenQ their praiseworthy eX-
ample rs deserving Al tire highest
emulation by us ali.

AS soon rs Davis got into the EXecu-
tive chair through the certificate Of
General Reynolds, who was instructed
from Washington to see that Radical
Governor and Legislature were elected,
he began to- devise means Of continu-
ing the reign of Radicalism in Texas.
He got the plant Legislature to turn
out as many Democrats rs WOULD be
necessary to give them over two-thirds
of each house, and then to pass the en-.
aiding act, by which he was invested
with the appointing power, wherein
the Constitution did not give it to him.
Then he commenced to appoint his
tools to office all over the State, many
of them of the most abandoned charac-
ter, who preyed upon the people at
will. Here is something to be remenl-
bered.-[ Austin Statesman.

THE MONEY CRISIS IN TIE NORTH.

The mighty North is being fcarfully
agitatcd just now by the grand failures
that are daily and hourly occurring in
the money circles of their country.
The oldest and strongest financial i'll
stitutions in New York city are no
longer respected rs safe repositories
for the surplus funds of private capt.
talsts. Men arewild with excitement,
and crowd tie entrances to the banks
with that eager s0licifude that is abso-
lutely destructive of the popular con-
fidence of the people. Jay Cooke, Jay
Gould and Others long esteemed rs the
strongest moneycd men in the nation,
have been compelled to yield to the
prcssures that have been brought to
bear upon them, and are now going
through the process of liquidation,
which is practically to ascertain not
only the extent of their own Insolvency,
but the amount of bankruptcy they
have entailed upon their friends and
depositors AZ web. The great failures
of 1896 and ~ 1857 are being repeated,
and the coil for y time must now,
MS then, i,arir Ne in the inconven-
fences ana la-4rA hat follow fr0m such
calamitics. II concentration of eapi-
tai, we dD, Ii. has had much to DO
in bringing. ~, the crisis that IL now
upon us. Tn, ,rcat grain growers and
brokers of the West have drawn large
~ against their New York correspon-
dents for the funds necessary to move
the crop of the present year; the i'm
y,oltcrs of the East have also relied
upOn their bank credit in storing theiI
immense stocks, and thus, 'ere the seq
son fos the return of this capital into
the vaults Of Wall street arrives, We
find those Golfers empty and their own
crs ruined.
The gcneial and prevailing dispo-
sition TO speculate among dhe money
kings of the country, and the grand
success that has attended most of their
operations heretofore, has nIsO had
something to do with the present
crisis. The government has been
''cornered"by them so often andso sue
ccssfnlly, that they have grown into
the conviction that they controlled all
the capital of the country, and had
only to "raid" upon the national trea-
sury to supply any demand they might
experience FOR money. The evil esnse.
quences of the panic now existing haye
not vet eliminated. They will con-
finue to lie felt until the cotton crop Is
fairly in market, and foreign funds
brought forward 10 control it. But not
withstanding the general pressure that
prevails throughout the North. We can
mot realize that any detrimental results
will neoeessarily be experienced by
cur people of the South. The season
for buying has not yet arrived. The
harvest time is engaging every one,
and from the fruits of tine farmers
labor, the relief of the whole country
must come. In the next forty days
the end of these troubles viii he reach
ed, aud by that time money will be ut
ourd doors, seeking investmentin the sta
pie product of our sunny land. Let
no unnecessary alarm take hold upon
our people, for they are safe from the

TILE SPIRITS.

The world has had liz ages, and we
presume will continue to have sQnle-
thing of the sort SO long rs 1t lasts.

what may justly be termed the spirit
age. Some twenty-five gears ago the

spiritual enterprise in small way that
is now being perfected by more modern
mediums in D very grand and magniii-
cent manner. The first indications
we had of spiritual yisitations to this
mundane sphere was by means Of raps
which the unseen hands were repre-.
scented as applying to tables and other
items Of household furniture that might
be prepared for the communication
but now the dear spirits have gotten
above this plebian method Of CONVEX
sation, and have elected a score or 50
of professional jackasses, whom they
have declared test mediums, and who
manage TO exc out a very prontaoie
subsistence for themselves as spiritual
scribes. There = Doctor Slade, and
Doctor Foster; and batf dozen other
Doctors, who are about as mach .e 9pgit't
tied TO the appellation Of Doctor 40
General Grant is to third term, who
hold their regular levees and grind out
of their gullible visitors snug little
sums for the things they detail from
that "bourne fren wheaaie no traveller

We have never had the pleasure Of
seeing these divinegentlemen perform
on their spirit pens, but are informed
that a great deal of conventionalism is
necessary before the medium has to
