On Saturday next the farmers will
meet at Lisbon, at II o'clock NJ, for the
purpose of forming an agricultural
association. There is no use in trying
to abate or destroy the enthusiasm Of
the laboring element Of the country in
their determination to act together in
those measures wherein their dearest
rights arc involved. We regard the
whole scheme as n Democratic meas
ure, and would rejoice to see Il farm
crs bend their whole efforts towardth IN
accomplishment of a high develop
ment of our agricultural interest. So
far as politics are concerned, there is
no occasion, in IL State affairs, for
any new party organization. Let
Texas be the last to furl the Demo-
cratic flag; let her people trust in the
grand old principles, which are right
and have always been, for the RENE
dies that every wrong we arc laboring
under requires. We trust that II large
attendance at the meeting on Saturday
will be had.

WHAT AN OLD FRIEND THINKS OF
THE HERALD. T.

; We received yesterday a letter from
an old friend i'm Kaufman county,
which we copy below. Such Letters
are gratefully appreciated.
Mr.. Swindells:
DEAR SR-Many years ago, when
my old friend, Wake Latimer, arrived
in Texas and drew up his prospectus
for THE DALLAS HERALD, | happened
to be there, and was one of the first to
subscribe for that then pionecr) paper.
From that day until two or three
months since | have been n regular
subscriber. / then thought | could dc
without the paper, and had it discon-
tinued. But | find that | can not get
along without it. My children con
tinue to call for THE HEIALD. Please
send it to me again.

WE HAVE authority for stating that
Judge u. Z. Coombes is not a candidate
for District Clerk of this county. His
name has been mentioned for some
months as a probable candidate; hence
this notice. He withdraws his name
neither in favor of or against any Other
candidate; entertaining, as he does, the
highest regard for every n who has
been named for the Office.
In this connection, we can truthfully
say that Judge Coombes, since he has
been Deputy Clerk-now about three
years-has devoted himself strictly to
the duties of his position, to the univcr-
sal satisfaction of the bar and the peo-
pie, so far as we can hear, and We deem
it but justice to him to say 90. ;.

THE improvements going up in this
city warrant us in saying that the
foundation of the greatest cty in
Northern Texas is being laid, and that
before five years we will have a great
commercial center established here
that neither railroads nor opposition
can affect, so far as growth and pros
perity is concerned. On Main street
and Elm wooden structures are being
torn down TO make room for brick
buildings. Old things arc rapidly pass
ing away TO make room for the new
and progressive spirit which Is des-
tined to dcvelope at no distant day our
little city into gigantic proportions.
Let the Chamber of Commerce be or
ganized, and all those things essential
to our success receive a little attention,
and very soon Dallas viii be able to
hold its own and defy competition in
all those interests which 60 10 make
up its importance.

Fam OF AMERICAN INSTITUTE

csts, in announcing the second exhibit

TENDER, urges the people of the South
to forward whatever, commodity or
product they can for exhibition, and
in designating what they might send,
almost every article raised, grown or
found in our sunny land is mentioned.
II is well that these national cxhibi-
tions should be held, but to upbraidth h
people of the South because they do
not patronize them, certainly comes
with bad grace from a Northern jour
nal. we care not how Southern it may
be in its feelings and sentiments. The
mighty North destroyed for us, in order
that a worthless Union might be pre-
served. hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of property, and crushed out our
insignificant rebellion only when PEN
ury and poverty became more appalling
than the bristling bayonets that gleam-
cd along the ranks of the Northern
soldjery. Since the day the "bright
ST. Andrews cross" was fnrled in de-
feat, the prejudices and expressions Of
,bc government have been so marked
in their destructive tendencies upon
tho best interests OF the South az topre-
clude even the hope of u rcsuscita-

REV. FATHER ROBERT A. ABEI.r..

The Courier-Journal Of the 29tli ult.
chronicles the death of the Reverend
gentleman whose name heads this ar
ticlc. IIewas the oldest Catholic priest
in the West, having been fifty-iive
years in the ministry. If we mistake
not, he was an uncle of our fellow
townsman, Colonel Abel, the cner-
getic proprietor of the Kentucky Store.
Father Abel vas born in the State of
Kentucky, which was also the theater
of all his lahors, In commenting upon
his many virtues the Journal says: %.
1t is seldom we find one who has en-
dured so many hardships and lived so
long az Father Abel. Full of humility
and obedience, he was willing and
ready to go wherever his Bishop di-
rectcd him. He has been pastor of
most of the congregations Of the do
cesc, and sometimes had charge of two
or tlrec at once, compelling him to ride
! hundreds Ofmilcso on horseback through
a wild and rough country. He has
been one of the, most successful mis-
sionaries, and many of the leading
and best Catholics OF the State are his
converts and We're baptised by him.
He was the second or third pastor
who had charge of Il congregation in
Louisville, and through his energies
the old Cathedral on Fifth street was
built. In 1882, when the cholera ragged
here so fatally, he was, with unflinch-
ing courage, at the bedside Of the suf-
ferers by day and by night. After
wards he was Vice President of st.
Joseph's College, Bardstown, and was
Professor of rhetoric for eight years.
The above contains but few of the
important facts in his history. His has
been an eventful and fruitful life, and
many, all, indeed, who kncwhim, will
deeply and sincerely mourn his death.
He is dead, but his example livcth,
and il is hoped ere long that some one
will write his history, SO that all may
know his good works and profit by his
example.
His funeral will take place from the
Cathedral mt five O'clock this after

REGENERATION.

On the 18th proXimo, the time for
registering the voters of the State un-
der the new law will expire. If our
County Court intend to allow our peo-
pie an opportunity TO participate inthc
rights and privileges of suifragians, ii
is high time that they were arranging
the necessary preliminarics for THAI
II would be q veritable act
of folly on the part of the District
Clerk to proceed with the registration
until the County Court had defined the
boundaries of each voting precinct.
All oven the State, registration is going
ahead to the entire satisfaction of all
parties concerned, and why we wait
longer to begin this important work is
u mystery cur county fathers must an
swer. The law fixes the 10th day OF
August as the last moment ut which
tie Court can act, but now is the prop
err time under the law for the inciden-
tai arrangements to he made.

cannot answer. We hope, however,

The following article, which APP
pcarcd lately in the Waco Examiner,
we transfer to Il columns, mainly
for the purpose of denying the i'm
putation it is calculated TO reflect
upon Captain Adams; hut in justice
both to himself and his friends, we
hope that he will express himself fully
upon the railroad question, which is
now almost /; paramount consid-
Grafton in political circles. His
friends and supporters would like to
know the views he cntertains in refer
cncc to this vital question of railroads,
so absorbing as it is of public considera-
ton.
Beware of Railroad Rings and Ring
Candidates.
We have heard it said that Mr.. S. j..
Adams, THE DALLAS HERALD candi-
date for Governor, in the Democratic
Convention, is the Texas and Pacific
Railroad candidate also. We don't
know whether this is true or not, but
we know that a powerful influence will
be eXerted to nominate and elect a can
didate who can be used by the new
railroad ring formed in Texas, of which
Tom Scott, Galusha A. Grow and other
lesser lights are the magnates. Tom
! Scott, President of the Pennsylvania
Central, and of the Texas and Pacific,
and many other great lines of railroad,
has succeeded in shaping the railroad
policy of every State Legislature that
he desired, with but q single exception.
That one Is New Jersey. And is it
not reasonable to suppose that he will
attempt to procure influence in Texas
legislation, and that he and his CO.
workers will make n heavy movement
in order to fill the G~ubernatorial chair
with an incumbent in the railroad in
terest ? Why, of course they will. If
we are not badly mistaken in Resigns
of the times, the programme has been
made out and a slate adopted. We do
not plead guilty to the charge of an
alarmist, but we know whereof we
speak, when we say to those of our peo-
pie outside of railroad interests to pom
der well before they cast a vote in the
coming election. And i'm no event
vote for a man who is not sound on
the peoples interests in contradistinc-
ton TO the questionable interests of
railroad interests and corporations
The farmers especially should note u
advice, for we believe the battle will
be fought in the next election that
is to decide whether the people have
interests that railroads are boundto re-
spect or not.
