All that human skill and affection can
devise for the recovery Of the gallant
soldier and statesman Is being done,
but without any hopes Of success The
world over will join with Kentucky IN
her sollcitude and sorrow ut the pros
pect of losing forever her gallant and
chivalrous son.
To THE infinite qualification of the
country the disgusting evidence III the
Beecher-Tilton cesspool has closed
After the lawyers are through WIN
discussing the testimony, 1t will go to
the jury, who will probably fall TO
agree, and the case be reopened or al
lowed to drop from the records, but the
evil effects of the great scandal will be
felt upon the morals of American so
ciety long after its actors shall nave
passed from the scene.
The men who endeavored to perpe-
trate this International outrage upon
Texas, must learn, and that Mt once,
that they can no longer be trusted w!lh
the fortunes of the people.
The above extract is from the MeXia
Ledger, pet organ of Grand Sachem
John Ireland. THE HERALD agrees
with 1t, and ventures the opinion that
it will be very difficult to convince the
people where the state was the gamer
by giving corporation twelve or III
teen millions more than they asked or
demanded.
For the benefit of the radical press
bowling like famished cayotes, at the
democracy of John Ireland, 1t may be
well enough to state that he will either
be our next governor, senator IN con-
gress or vice-president of the United
States. Let them howl on and the de-
mocracy of Texas will honor him to
the utmost extent of their ability

All. That accounts for the milk in
the cocoanut. Shades of Runnels,
Wood, Henderson and Bell, Rusk,
Houston and Wigfall, Jefferson, Cal
houn, Butler, and their illustrious pre-
decessors and successors, avaunt! Is
not this sacrilege sufficient to make
the old heroes start from their graves"
DALLAS will soon be honored with
visit from Hon. Jefferson Davis. 1t is
meet and just that all due considera-
ton and respect should be paid the dis
tinguished statesman and soldier,
standing as he does, the lone and soli-
tary representative of u cause, now
forever dead, which once moved our
love and admiration, and for which
hundreds and thousands of our bravest
and most gallant men laid down their
lives. But while honoring Mr.. Davis
and the "Lost Cause and through
him the heroes who lie beneath the
sod, We should not do injustice to the
living. Every act, every word, every
deed, will be taken up and Historically
such journals as the Inter-Ocean, to
make political capital of, and kindle
anew the slumbering embers of sec
tional hate. The bitter passions and
memories of the unfortunate
war must lie permitted to die and sink
into the sea of oblivion so deep that
neither line nor plummet can eyer
sound them. The occasion will be
tempting, and in the heat and zeal Of
enthusiasm, there may be some who
will overstep the bounds of prudence
and indulge in vain and useless boasts
and recriminations. To such, The
HERALD desires, on the part of the
people of Texas and of the south, to say
a word: Curb your enthusiasm, for
get the passions and prejudices of the
past, and remember only that you are
an American citizen, and that you
meet to honor Mr.. Davis only as pri-
vate citizen, who himself feels honored
