10 the Editor OF the Dallas Herald
Thinking line from our town
might not prove uminteresting to your
readers, | take this opportunity OF
writing II short letter. On Saturday,
the 9th inst, our town was visited 10y
IA fearful storm, which completely de-
m0lshcd our beautiful church, and left
the very material II useless pile OF
splnters and boards, This was an al
most irreparable injury to our town,
and was occasioned 10y the mechanics
failure TO properly brace the building
and support the root, The building
was to have cost over $4,000 when fin
ishcd, over -, 900 Of which had already
been expended. Several other build
ings were blown down, and Il few con-
sidrrably injured ut the same time,
We understand that work Is to be
commenced on the church at once, re-
bull ling IL ON u more substantial basis,
and by Il different builder Several
other buildings are In process OF cree
ton, and we now have n joint stock
company organized to build good ho-
tel here, with capital stock OF over
| 81, 900 subscribed. Parties are here
now looking out location for flour
ing mill, and il is confidently believed
that they will locate here.
Mcssrs. Orr " Jones, Of our town,
have purchased the Wills Point Ledger
outfit, and will start paper here next
week called the Times. SO you see we
are still trying to keep our town inn
proving, and the energy Of our people
will certainly win.
The Lawrence Base Ball Club will be
in your town on Monday to play the
Mutuals, and rs the nine is much
strengthened, very lively game may
be expected.
We see citizens of your town in oul
midst olmost every day, looking after
trade, as all of our merchants do theil
buying in Dallas, where they get very
satisfactory bargains.

Collapse OF civil Service reform

President Grant has announced to
his Cabinet the abandonment of the
go called civil service reform, and di-
rooted that instructions in accordance
with this determination be transmitted
to civil service boards. The astute oc.
togenarian politician of New York,
Thurlow Weed, takes occasion to re.
call prediction made by him moro
than two years ago, that it was an un-
tenable and unpromising scheme,
which "originated with Senators in
Congress. who. by their diligent ef.
forts in procuring appointments for
relatives and friends, generally in
utter disregard OF fitness, did much to
render civil service reform necessary
and popular" The same selashness
which brought about the evil, would
prevent it's rectification. It is not con.
stitutions, or laws, or systems, or poll
oies, or programmes, on which the
safety OF the Government and the vel.
fare of the people depend; but rather
and mainly upon the high character of
The men chosen to obey and execute
the Constitution and laws. Suoh men
have not surrounded the administra.
ton OF President Grant. He gave q
mortal blow to the projected reform
himself, soon after its plan was set
forth. as wae shown by q letter which
George William Curtis wrote, tend ndering
hia resignation OF an offloe in co. aeo.
zion With it, He saw that it was q
hollow affair." mere pretence to inflo-
snca public opinion. iahd ehowine
weakness and insufloienoy at the fret
etrain put upon It. Now il is officially
confessed thas it cannot be executed. !.
and Mr.. Weed comes forward to jeer
the Admtnisssasion With q reference TO
the still harder golden rule laid down
Tor civil esEyios appointments by Mr.,
Jefferson. JTheaaueasion he thought
proper TO have pps 70 applicants was:
'Is he honeas, capable and faithful TO
the Constitution" It, is no longer
pertinent, and the rule it established
is no, longer in vogue. 81,
