:. b. BUCKLEY, the state geologist, is
now engaged in making an official
tour of the state. We are not inform
ed of the time at which he will reach
Dallas, but think it not unlikely that
it will be in the next sixty days. He is
going to the west, we understand, to
examine the copper mines and coal
fields in that direction. In the mean-
time persons who have any specimens
that they wish to submit to his inspec-
ton can leave them with Captain John
w. Lane, at his Office in the banking
house Of Castor e. Thomas. Captain
Lane will take care of the same and
bring them to the attention of Mr..
Buckly on his reaching Dallas.

The Governor and the Finances.
GClarksville Standard

Mr.. Moody, the financial agent of the
state for the negotiation of the state
bonds, authorized to be issued for the
payment of the states Indebtedness,
has returned from New York without
having accomplished anything. We
notice that thereupon some of the news
papers are disposed to gibe, and are do
ing so, at the governor, about his "hun-
drcd daysn and az mean what say"
We are not at all disposed to do so. We
rather think there is deep significance
in this failure. Mr.. Moody is not of
Wall street, and we think Wall street
simply resented the governors pro-
posed independent action, in employ
ing an agent outside of "the ring"
This is only another illustration of the
dangerous powers already acquired
and constantly accumulating, by mo-
nopolists. We believe the governor
will vet maintain the credit and good
faith of the state, and his own, not
withstanding the present very great
disappointment, and that "rings" will
vet be brought low.

TO the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
On Tuesday night the city council re-
pealed the obnoxious law prohibiting
farmers and gardeners from selling
vegetables to the citizens at their
homes. Mayor Cabell earnestly rec
omlpended its repeal from the first ag-
itation, but Us long US it was law on
the books he would enforce it. He be-
lieyed IL unwise and unjust, and may
have thought If unconstitutional. 1t
must be remembered that it was enact
ed more than ayear ago by the former
administration.
The people of the country will see by
this action that the people and present
government of the city respect their
rights and will countenance no imposi-
ton. This is as it should be.

LETTER IRON MESQUITE.

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
Since my last, the anniversary day
of our nations birth has passed. That
day which ought to be near and dear
to every American citizens, that day
which stirs up al, the patriotic feelings
in the human system, which makes
our blood run riot with gladness and
hilarity, was duly observed by the citi-
zens of our town in fit and appropri-
ate manner. William Force agitated
the question and made the time pass
as it ought to in every loyal commune
ty in our country. Our meeting was
held at Murray's spring, pretty place,
which only lacked the floating ofour star
spangled banner to have made it look
like an immense cradle of liberty. Our
citizens began to congregate about s
o'clock A. NJ, and at II o'clock about
four hundred happy, smiling faces
were gathered together, when Judge
Good stepped from among the throng
and made short, pithy, sound speech,
after which his partner (Bower) deliv-
cred very clever address then fol-
lowed the event of the day, which the
citizens partook of with relish which
showed they knew how to appreciate
good vituals. Beet, sheep and kid had
been Larbecued in the best possible
shape. Messrs. Force, Bennett and
Holland received many well deserved
compliments for their-labors.
After dinner all who wished joined
in the festive dance, where eye BEAM
ed TO eye and busy feet kept time to
the sweet strains of the violin. TAX
ing all into consideration the celebra-
ton was a grand success. May next
year see as happy crowd assembled
is the sincere wish of yours truly,
