IMMIGRATION rms FALL
where Are We Driningr

10 the Editor OF the Dallas lleraldi
Is the democratic party Of the state
being held together by iron bars and
links Of steel, kept bright by true and
good workmen, or IL there simply IN
old rusty chain sought 10 be kept
together by u little oil hereand u bright
spot there? AS before stated, II Ian
guage means anything the state con-
vention of last year made nominations
for state officers, and districts and
counties did the same, upon principles
endorsed by over seven hundred men.
The text of the canvass was Il constitu-
tional convention, and ratrenchment
and reform. IL was fruitful subject,
Hundreds Of our people-men who
were burdened with radical corruption,
misrule and onerous taxatlon--shouted
for joy. We thought We could
see the cleaning light of hope
flash beneath clouded horizon,
and soon the brilliant sunlight
of happiness bursted, and its rays
sparkled in the darkest corners, and II
democratic majority unprecedented
counted, A long session ensued, no
convention, some little reform and less
retrenchment. Now, WAS the conven-
ton of seven hundred men, which
made these questions matter of prin-
ciple, the foundation stones for a mag
nificent concentration of material for
success and purity In our state govern
ment, less wise than those one hun
bred and twenty who composed the
fourteenth Legislature? They may have
been, but even time will not prove the
fact to many democrats.
Why did the fourteenth Legislature
arraign seven or eight district judges,
the trials of whom cost $4,000 to $780,
600, which would have paid for II con-
vention, which by this time would have
wiped out district judges, ragged con-
stitution, and left Texas handsomely
dressed in pure linen, and her sons and
daughters light-hearted and more than
willing to pay taxes?
Why did the fourteenth Legislature
make an appropriation larger than
was made to run the state government
one year by the foul twelfth in 1870,
and almost rs much as was appropri-
ated in 1866 to run the government for
two years?
Why, in 1867, was the state tax one
fourth of one per cent and in 1874 one
half of one per cent?
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers;
While error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amid her worshippers."

Odd FellOwship.


1t is a source of qualification to many of the
readers of your admirable paper that you man
ifest willingness to publish information rel
alive to the doings and progress Of our beney-
olent and fraternal organizations, which are
doing noble and praisewertby work in the
community, in supplying relief to the sick and
distressed, cultivating the social relations, and
intoxicating that liberal spirit of liberation
which is the opposite to narrow-minded big
otry and fanaticism. One of the best and most
popular of these institutions is Odd Fellow
ship. 1t is prominently an institution for the
people, aud in perfect accord with the princi-
pies and spirit of our republican form OF gov
eminent To show its remarkable prog
ress in this country, it is only necessary to
state that it has increased from membership
of 1000 in 1910 to about 45O 900 at the present
time.
The statistical information you give in to-
days issue relative to the benefcent work of
this fourishing order are at once surprising and
gratifying; but there is one error therein: the
amounts given as having been disbursed for re-
lief purposes were for the year 1872, not 1873
The aggregate sum expended last year by the
Odd Fellows of this country for benevolent OBJ
jects doubtless approxiTates two millions of
dollars.
Besides the Independent Order of Odd Fell
lows, having their supreme legislative head in
America, there are in foreign lands over one
million Odd Fellows not affiliated with the
order in this country. Verify. Odd Fellowship
is great institution.

The movement to erect monument in this
city to the memory of soldiers and sailors who
fell in the late war, requires to be successful,
but trlfling sacrifice ON the part of every citi
zen-triflinp indeed compared with that made
by the fallen heroes who rest in soldiers
graves.
While the citizen soldiery of our city are
deeply intereeted in this monument, it is not
their purpose to review the past, yet it seems
bnt appropriate to refer to the early days of
the war, and recall to mind the prospect as it
then looked. Let us take an extract from a
speech delivered at a war meeting May 20,
1861:
SPEECH OF DAVID DUDLEY FIELD
This is not time for words but for deeds.
Our Union is assailed; that Union which was
created after so many years of patient labor. of
Constitution is defied; that Constitution which
Washington, Franklin, Madison, Hamilton.
and their compatrOts made, and which has
served us so well in peace and in war: Our
liberties are menaced; those libities which we
inherit from our brave and suffering fathers,
and which we received as an Inheritance to be
transmitted intact to our children. The SYM
Dol of ourscountry's strength and honor; that
flag which our countrymen have borne over
so many lands and seas, has been insulted land
trampled. All hands, all hearts, all thoughts,
should be concentrated upon the one great OBJ
ject of saving our country, our Union, our
Constitution-I had almost said, our cyiliza-
ton. Therefore arm yourselves; for this con-
test is to be decided by arms; let every man
arm himself. None capable of bearing arms
can be spared
How the country responded to such calls is
well RECOMMENDATIONS nobly the battle was
won need not again be told.
