nial was the opening of box Of cigars
manufactured in l76O by Cyrus Green

a good state of preservation aud of'fine
flavor. Three of the cigars werel for

The DALLAS HERALD has assum-
ed the protectorate of the country
press" in this section of the State,
and expects lesser lights like the
Democrat, to fall down and worship
it, and if the Democrat fails to do
so, 1t at once elevates its aristocrat-
ic nose high in air, and n broad
sheer spreads over its pages at the
bare thought that the country
press" should presume to entetain
views and express opinions of its
own, when The DALLAS DAILY Her
AID condescends to visit its sanctum
and shed the effulgence of It's wis
dom, o, err the lesser rights afore-
said Fort Worth Democrat.
THE HERALD is not aware that 1t
has assumed the prOtectorate of the
country press" nor does it sex
pect lesser lights like the Democrat
to fall down and worship it, The
HERALD assumes the right to speak
and act for itself, and cheerfully ac-
cords to all Of its contemporaries
the right to do the same. No broad
sneers spreads over The HERALD's
columns, nor does it deal in inunen
does, insinaations and misrepresen
tatlons.
The HERALD took issue with
some of its contemporaries upon
broad and plain question affecting
the rights, as it believed, Of the peo-
pie, and has eonscientioutly labored
for the success Of that position.
Whether it has been successful or
not, has no influence upon the pres
ent or future course Of the paper, as
THE HERALD will in the future us
in the past be guided by what il
deems right and expcdient. 1t has
never yet trimmed its sails to suit
every passing breeze, and never
