THE AMBITION or DALLAS.

The DALLAS HERALD IL strongly
pronounced in favor OF Sheriff Ilmple'
man, OF Travis, for State Treasurer
How IL 1t that Dallas Ia not asking
anything in this way herselfY- waco
Examiner.
We can only account for the indis-
position manifested by the citizens OF
Dallas to place any name before the
State Convention upon the hypothesis
that such Is the all-absorblng rush OF
business here that men have neither
the time or the inclination to serve In
official capacities.
Dallas can boast of many names III
to be nailed to the masthead'-men
that would FIJI acceptably any office
within the gift Of our people-but fol-
the present she Is willing TO choose
her favorites from elsewhere, and ia
extend to them her hearty support.
The HERALD had hoped that al
least one of our citizens could be pre-.
vailed upon to accept high legal posi-
ton, inasmuch as he already occupies
II seat on the bench, but Judge Reeves
prefers to return to his private prac'
tice, aud has signiiied positively his
wishes In this regard.

ORATORS,

Lamar grew eloquent when he ut.
tered u sentiment which has met with
a heartfelt response from every section
Of the Union. The epithet of "silver.
tongued' bestowed upon him by the
Inter- ocean, is quite applicable. Said
Mr.. Lamar, in assuming the chair as
presiding officer of the Democratic
caucus:
at has been said that the day oil
sentimental politics has passed away,
but gentlemen, there is one part of the
Union THAT part which | know bestl,
which asks for this great moral nutri-
ment to spirited and noble people.
We want a government that we can
love and revere and serve from the
motive of reverence and love; we hun.
ger for a patriotism which shall knit
all the people together in generous
and loving brotherhood, and which
shall be MS broad as the territory over
which the national flag floats. Let
me say here that no government or
nation can prosper without this vital
fire. 1t is the sentiment which, act
ing upon free institutions and reactine
through them upon people, consti.
tutes their public spirit and political
genius"
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1875-12-17

The friends of Mr.. George b. Zim.
pelham will be gratitied to learn that
he has consented to allow his name to
placed before the Galveston Conven-
ton for the office of State Treasurer.
Those who know Mr.. Zimpelman do
not need to be reminded of his good
qualities. But as the public have a
right to know the history of all me u
they are asked to support for impor-
tant and responsible public positions,
the friends of Mr.. Zimpelman have
thought proper to offer the following
brief sketch of his life:
BY birth, Mr.. Zimpelman is a Ger
man, but he came to Texas when quite
boy and settled in Travis county,
where he has ever since resided.
In 1861 he enlisted in the Eighth
Texas Cavalry, better known as " Fer
ry's Texas Rangers" and served with
that regiment until the close of the
war. He was many times wounded
on the battlefield-twice very severely.
Where all were brave, 1t may seem in
vidious to make distinetions but
among the gallast and devoted gen.
tlemen furnished by the South in the
late war, there was no better comrade
or Drawer soldier than George b. Zim-
pelham. To the survivors of, the
Eighth aud Eleventh Texas regiments,
the mention of his name will at once
call up his cheerful, manly face, and
his gallant soldiery bearing.
He was the "Chevalier Bayardv OF
bis. regiment; q soldier without fear
and without reproach. In his capacity

ing the new Constitution over again
and he finds it a perfect mine of sur.
prises and good things-one thing in
particular is so pery good that, though
he had concluded his series of articles,
ne can not resist the desire to write
just one more. Our readers therefore
may look out for another treat from
his facile pen. Houston Telegraph.
1t seems that "Playfair" has discov-
cred so many good things in the "dam-
nable fraud" that the readers of the
Telegraph must needs endure another
infection from his pen. Won't some
one read the riot act, and dispense
"Playfair," or must he be permitted to
entirely demolish this "ill-shaped, dis
jointed, impracticable, unwieldly and
unstatesmanlike experiment" When
"Playfair" solemnly informed us in his
last letter that he had done, we sup
posed that the country was saved, but,
alas, we fear we will yet be called upon
to deplore its ruin.

NOMINATIONS AGAIN.

In its issue of December 10Th the
Galveston Neics gives ulterance to the
opinions below which are in exact nc
cordance with those expressed by US
In our issue of the same date. That
two of the leading journals Of the
State should upon the same day EN-
body pretty much the same views up
ON nominations, Is somewhat sugges-
tive to asplrants for State offices. Dial
las and Galveston having no candi-
dates in the field may be considered rs
impartial in the sentiments so enunci-
ated; efa5tt.4
AS the time approaches for the meet
ing of the State Democratic Conven-
ton, a good deal of interest begins to
be manifested, and questions of i'm
portance to the party come up for dis
oussion almost hourly. While there
doesInotappear to be any disposition
to depart from the established prece-
dents that have become part of the
machinery of the party, and amounts
almost to law with many of the more
pronounced politicians, indications of
Il more independent feeling than pre-
vailed of late years is not wanting, and
delegates will do well to understand in
q advance that acquesence in the deci-
sions Of the ward meetings, and for
that matter in the Convention itself,
need not be expected unless lirst-class
cmeniare put denomination and their
endorsement secured by fair express
sion Of opinion on the part of the peo-
pie who have right to be represented
The time for packed meetings, or

Just one week from the day that the
Democratic State Convention assem-
bles at Galveston there will be a gath

ton In the city Of Houston.
IT will just have time to closely
scrutinlze the platform enunciated by
the Democratic party, and take adj
vantage Of any weak or salient points

possible to foreshadow their policy,
but 1t Is highly probably that strong

Nominations will be made, OF course,
in order to keep party organization in

RELIGION AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Mr.. Blaine in suggesting the sub
Joined amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, will scarcely in
crease his chances for the Presidential
nomination by riding such politico-
religious hobby, There is powerful
element in society, outside of the
Catholics, that breads the seculariza-
tion Of the schools. The proposed
amendment is as follows: mo State
shall make any law respecting an es-
tablishment Of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof; and no
money raised by taxation in any State
for the support of public schools or de-
rived from any public fund therefor,
shall ever be under the control Of any
religious sect nor shall any money so
raised ever be divided between religi-
Gus sects or denominations"
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1875-12-17

Michael C. Kerr strikes the key note
with no unsteady hand, when he enun-
ciates his position upon the most vital
ly important issue of the day:
at is the fixed and irreversible
Judgment of mankind that the cur
rency of commerce shall be gold and
silver. 1t will accept no inferior cur
rency. No great nation can do so
without incalculable loss ut home, con-
slant disadvantages in its commercial
competition with other nations, and
the sacrifice of the most valuable OPP
portunities for prosperous and profita-
BILE international trade. 81
What our people need is not more
money, but most emphatically better
money not more promises but more
capital, more things of intrinsic value,
more of the products of labor, more OF
the savings of economy; less taxation,
less extravaganza in expenditures, and
less excessive exactions of all kinds"

MATER SIMPLY.

Sss.@sWewould respectfully suggest to our
Council that the water supply of our
city is far from adequate. In the event
of q large fire, and 1t may happen at
any moment upon windy night, our
city would be in great danger, even
with her goodly number of street els
{ terms and well drilled fire company.
Exhaust the water once, and fire en-.
gines, however good, and fire compa.
MES however eXcellently well organ.
lied, are powerless to save us from de.
struction.
The dust too, of our streets Is nui-
sance that should be abated. The i'm.
practibility of an united effort among
our merchants in watering the streets
has been demonstrated and as these
dusty seasons will periodically recur as
/ long as We are q city, it behooves the
Board of Aldermen to take the matter
in hand and give us relief. Taxes can
be laid now itmay be too late after
the new Constitution is ratified. We
offer the subjoined suggestion from the
Denison Cfesset:
Our energetic citizen, Captain Poff,
has astonished our citizens by making
a proposition something as follows
no builda brick reservoir, say twenty
feet aboveground, with a capacity of
say five thousand barrels of water.
This reservoir to be located on West
Main street, and to be supplied wit h
waterffrom his wind power pump.
From this reservoir lay street mains
through the business and resident parts
of the city. AT proper distances along
the mains, hydrants will be placed so
that ail abundance of water will be ac-
cessi5le in any part Of the city. Hose
. can be attached to these hydrants, and
with the natural fall from the reservoir
water can be thrown to a height of if
teen to twenty-five feet, which will
/ prove q great Safeguard in case Of fire.
We believe this practicable, and shall
!. expect to hear further from it. A
proposition from Captain Poff will
probably go before the City Council at
an early date. e.aa
