THE COMING STRUGGLE.

The sore point with our city Is the
miserable condition Of her finances.
The choice of mayor is secondary In
importance to the selection Of such II
board of aldermen as will secure such
measures rs will bring relief. II Is n
question ofultimate bankruptcy or i'm
mediate relief. The property holders
are the most interested in securing an
efficient board, for 1t is out of their
pockets must come the money to pay
taxes. 1t would be much better for
the people of each ward TO give more
attention to inducing good men to
run than to listen to the wranglingo
noble array ofcandidates who are being
carried forward struggling to be thrust
into positions they of course don't want
but are moving heaven and earth tc
get. The race for mayor will
be decided between one can
didate who may be tacitly de
cided upon as the democratic standard
bearer, and another whom it is plain
will receive the most of the republican
votes. Unless the party lines are
drawn, there may be cause to regret it.
The merits of all the candidates are
familiar to the people, and they alone
will be responsible for any consequen.
ces that may follow. Our only desire
is to see such men elected as will best
promote the progress, welfare and fl
nancial condition OF the city.

THE CITY's DALLAS AND WICHITA
BONDS,

The purchase of the Dallas and WITCH.
ita railway, with the prospect ola por-
ton of it being put in running order,iis
the best thing that has happened fol
us for some time. a narrow guage
railway that can be made to reach our
great coal, iron and copper region, and
which can connect, possibly, with the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, and
result probably in Dallas being made
the terminus of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas road, is n consummation
most devoutly to be wished. The cap
italists who have this enterprise in
hand have the money to put it through.
The question has arisen about the
donation by the city of its stock to the
new owners. Sound policy and lib
eral spirit would dictate that our city
should do so. 1t will derive in the end
more advantage by doing so than by
holding the stock. Without the help
ing hand extended to Dallas by the
capitalists who have purchased the
road, the stock was of little or no
value. All Of its value is derived from
the negotiations inst made. Therefore
the city is reaping an advantage by
holding she can hardly claim or avail
herself of. The capitalists have done
their part in risliing so much in an I'M
tried enterprise. Now let Dallas show
its appreciation of the effort made to
give her additional railway commune
cations.

OUR HNRnER AEEAIRI.

Affairs on our border are rapidly ap'
preaching climax. The patience
with which our citizens and authorities
have submitted, for years, to the out
RACES and villainies of the Mexicans is
exhausted, and prompt measures will
be taken in the future TO punish the
perpetrators. The probabilities are
that Governor Coke will make a de-
mand upon the federal authorities for
troops for border defense, and in the
event of refusal will order into the
field such state forces as he may he
able to muster or deem Necessary for
the protection of the people.
The recent raids into our state 10y
armed bands of MeXicans, accompanied
with scenes of murder aud rapine call
for prompt and extreme measures. The
federal authorities evidently mean to
render us no assistance, being too in
tent upon gaining a radical victory in
some northern state or establishing an
usurping government in II southern
one, and it therefore behooves our eX-
ecutive to take prompt action in the
matter. Governor Coke can rely upon
receiving Reimbursement of the people
of the state in any effort he may make
to lid our boId,r of the thieves and
murderers who have infested it for the
past four or five years.

GAEyEsT0S ASLEEP.

What, with the appeals made to the
cue of the commerce of that city by
subscribing TO the stock of the Santa
Fe road, and the various plans to cir
cumvcnt Mr.. Charles MIorgan's new
Houston scheme, the Galveston papers
are very interesting reading. The wolf
is at the door in the shape of n possible
serious Injury to the trade of the place
by Mr.. Morgan, and the lack of more
railway communication with the coun-
try naturally tributary to Galveston.
It is difficult to understand how such
n shrewd and prosperous business COM
munity us that Of the Island City can
hesitate to give all the aid to railways
necessary to increase her trade. Yet
the extraordinary spectacle is pre-
scented Of mere business men being SO
blind to their own interests as to neg
lect the positive means of building up
additional trade. The country through
which the road runs is ore of the
healthicst and wealthiest in Texas. To
reach it will be to make the fortune of
the road, and to increase the cotton
and produce receipts OF the port OF Gal
weston fully a fourth.
The lethargy of the capitalists is per-
fectly ineXplicabic, and if INDUCED in
much longer will end in a forfeit
urc of the charter of the road, and
the country tapped by some city of
more enterprise and nerve. We feel
in northern Texas great pride in Gal
weston, and want to see her put forth
the strength she has and control the
business which is hers by right, and il
is to be hoped that she will not wait
like 4 tcrrarin ANY longer before NOV
ing, for Mr.. Morgan is in dead earnest
about utting his coal of fire on the
back OF Galveston, and she has the
wharf monopoly and her own supine-
ness alone TO thank for being between
the upper and lower milestone.
The Galveston News, like faithful
sentinel, sounds the alarm of danger
ahead, and we re-ccho it to save our
young giant from a slumber that will
be fatal if protracted.

DALLAS AND WICHITA RAILROAD.

The action of the city council, Tues
day evening, in regard to the transfer
of the city's interest in the above road,
with certain conditions, was given in
full i'm the local columns of THE HER
AID yesterday. II was hardly to be
presumed that the council, at so short
notice, could pass definitely upon Il
question involving so much yet it
seems that it would have been much
more satisfactory had the present coun-
Gil disposed of the matter. Clearly, if
they have no legal right to settle the
question, the incoming council have
not, as they are clothed with no more
power or authority than their prede-
cessors. The HERALD is confident
that the gentlemen of the council have
only the best interests of the city ut
heart, and knowing that, respectfully
submits the following proposition for
their consideration Let the hest legal
counsel be consulted, and if in their
made, let it be done at once and thus
push forward and close the most i'm
portant question of the day to the COM
merce and progress of Dallas. f de-
ferrcd to the new council, it will be
several weeks before any definite ac-
ton can be taken, and then it may be
too late.

II will be the plain duty Of the con-
stltutlOnal convention TO make re-
trenchment the ground work Of its de-
alterations. The Judiciary system must
be thoroughly looked into and when
1t Is evident that the work can be done
by less judicial force than Is now EN-
ployed, the number of judges should be
cut down. A rigid investigation of all
branches of the state government
ought to be made, especially that mile
