To the Editor OF the DallasSnemld
In your article in Yesterdays issue
on. the Dallas and Wichita railroad,
You say that the company "eXpect to
push the work on rapidly 10 the county
line without any further dclay.n The
statement Is correct, but the company
expect, and think they have a right to
eSpeytl sonle mid and encouragement
from the business men and property
owners of Dallas. If they viii take
the Dallas city bonds AS they are issued
to the company, nj seventy.ilve cents
on the dollar the work WILL be pushed
on rapidly, not only to the county line
but across elm fork, and the immense
business of the northwestern counties
will be thus secured to Dallas.
VIII the avowed friends of the enter
prise agree to take even fifteen of the
bonds at that rate. The investment
will pay thirteen and a half per cent
net interest per annum with a bonus
of two hundred and thirty dollars,
payable at the maturity of the bonds.
To insure the construction of the road
they need not take u share of stock,
nor loan the company q dollar but
simply invest few thousand in bonds,
for the payment of which all the prop.
erty, both real and personal within
the limits of the city is pledged. (. Y

10 the Editor OF the Dallas Herald:

10 the EdUor OF the Dallas Herald
Among the new enterpl ises of our
city there Is one, which though one of
the most ,commendable, and of the
greatest Importance, seems almost en-
tirely to have escaped the attention
and notice of our press. 1t is the Dal-
las Homestead and Building associa-
ton, an institution which has for its
object not only thesrupbuildng and
improvements of our city, but at the
same timethat of aflording to all who
may desire ii a No. Investment, and
the means OF procuring on the most
favorable, terms a comfortable home
incur beautiful little city. If we un-
derstand correctly the principle upon
which it Is proposed TO operate tho in-
stitution, It is briefly as follows:
They have an authorized capital OF
S5O00W. ltshares ofstoclS are divided
into sums of two hundred dollars each,
of which five hundred must be taken
before they begin operations. Each
Shareholder is required to pay one dol

holders each month, the receipts of
the association are loaned to the stock

owl. RIGHTS,

= "A - ~ 4
We have been INDUCING in the delu-
sion that the vexed question of civil
rights had received its final quietus by
the refusal of the house of representa-
tives to take it up and dispose of it. 1t
was evident, as we thought, that the
republicans OF the house were afraid to
press the issue upon Grant in the face
of the opposition to the measure mani
tested by the people and press of the
north. In this it seems we were en-
tirely mistaken, as will appear from
the subjoined extract from n letter of
the usually accurately informed cor
respondent of the Courier-J ournal:
Theapopular impression that 0the
civil rights bill is entirely dead is con-
tradicted by experienced, parlianienta-
rians. The biz lies on the speakers
table. The reason why ID did not pass
ut the last session ofcongress was that It
required vote Observation-Disclosures
the bill reached the house Of Represented
tives, and a two-thirds vote could not
be had. In the early part Of the ses-
sion it is cornpstenta taany time after
the morning hour to move to 20 to the
speakers table; and in such case anna
jority vote suffices to carry the motion.
But when the civil rights bill passed
the senate the hnnse 0f representatives
had made so many special orders that
these and tlis.unfinished business pre-
vented there being ANY. morning hours,
so thaftlie6nly road to the speakers
table was by the suspension of the
rules. AT the coming session there
will be morning hours for month or
so probably, apda bare majority can
go to the Speakers table. That there
is large majority in the house ready
to vote for tho cililrights bill Is cerN
