That stump.

10 the Editor OF the Dallas Herald
City fathers! II dutiful son hastens
10 inform you that malicious Jehus ARE
nightly assaillng that stump IN Good
street-that standing monument OF the
care and wntchfulness you exercise
over your reckless children. Wonder
fully well does II hold its own-and ev-
cry vehicle that runs against 1t, but II
must inevitably succumb to repealed
assaults. II you would preserve It's
beauty, remove II to u safer place or
build u formidable stone wall around
II. IL was only few nights ago that
couple OF your sons, rendered heed
less by the sweet smiles and bright
faces that they had just left, recklessly
charged that stump. Not having time
10 decide TO remain with that buggy,
one of the occupants Is satisfied that
the deepest impression he made that
night was In his patriotic performance
of the spread eagle In the mud.
II IL sad TO have all the love and ro-
nance knocked 50 suddenly out of one,
to say nothing Of the breath, but the
stump was there first and should have
been let alone. Last night fierce jehu
made battering-ram OF his hack and
boldly hunted for that stump. Well,
that stump was found IN the very
same place, and 1t is there yet. Naugh-
ty jehu! Why, after your disastrous
defeat, did you discharge fiery darts at
that much abused stump? Remem-
Der, too, that while good dams are
useful, bad ddD,ns move neither stump
nor--Our city fathers.
Now, city fathers! will you, can you
leave that stump any longer to the in
suit of every nightly passer by? 1t
matters not If some luckless swain runs
against it and gets his heart broken
between his head and his shoulders
1t is the safety of the stump you must
look after. Then remove it now while
you can have ms cribed upon it, "rhe
stump that checked every assaulter,
overturned its enemies and unflinch.
ingly held its ground until ordered
away" VIC TIM.

where are We Drifting ?
TO the Editor OF the Dallas Herald;

To the Editor OF the Dnllph HcTnlu'
Truth am sure, Is rising, for ] saw
glimpse-a small flash just u little
above the horizon In your issue OF
Tuesday, over the signature Of John
IL. Cochran. He says: "Ifyou get a
constitution Mt the hands of constl-
tutional convention for $50, 900 H. Is less
than honestly believe" Think 50 too,
If many of the fourteenth legislature
are sent as delegates to the conven-
ton, If we must consider how much
more mileage was drawn that by other
legislative bodies.
Truth, / know, is coming up, for q
little further down see it in bold let
tiers, almost gllded letters, ms follows:
"Again the cost Of the judiciary is
greater than in 1866. We have two
additional supreme judges, made by
the last constitutional amendments,
with a salary Of S4, $50 each"
Now, let's see. In 1866 we had
Judges Moore, /; Smith, 2; Donnelly, 3;
Coke, 4, and Willie, 5. Is this right?
1t surely must be. And now we have
Judges Roberts, /; Moore, 2; Reeves, .;
Devine, 4, and Gould, s, and-and--
well can't remember who the other
two were. According to his statement
we must have seven. You, Mr.. Editor,
probably can tell. am sure ii you
will tell the people it will be crafty
ING. Is it possible we have lived since
January last without knowing, the
names of two of our supreme Judges?
Why, sir, the press of our state deserve
condemnation for keeping this matter
concealed.
have never said word about the
wild, extravaganza and reckless appro-.
priations of the "foul TWELFTH or of
the thirteenth. The subject is too
heavy for me, and the deficiencies
would frighten u dead man, and L am
sure il was hard question to handle.
What | have said is, that the four
teenth made heavy appropriation for
current expenses ofthe government TOR
one year, beginning the first OF TINS
month. 20
The amount given was S479,l6 5o.
This does not include appropriations
for education, $513,925; penitentiary,
$4,000; pensions, S46,975.
Now, nv point is, that when an ad-
ministration is elected upon platform
of principles, and, when in power, 10
wholly ignore those principles--if this
is .true democracy it must have its
finest Sunday clothes on, and Is not ia
miliar with, or fully understood by the
yeomanry of this state.
If we are simply to take the name OF
democracy, and bid adieu to true prin'
ciples, democratic theory and practice,
then, well, do not know what is to fol-
low, unless, perhaps, "Truth crushed
to the earth shall rise again.
