Dallas is infested with tramps---if
not with men whose profession 1t is to
perambulate the country and beg, mt
least with those whom necessity or in
clination drives to beg here and there
square meal. Our city IL crowded
with young men from all parts of the
United States, tempted hither by the
wonderful progress and prosperity Of
Dallas. AS fair illustration of this,
n gentleman recently advertised In
The HERALD for a young man who
could act ss salesman and book-keeper
He received over twenty responses in
one day, and continues to receive them.
Dallas is literally overrun with young
men out OF employment, and 1t is these
men, reduced to want, combined with
the depraved, who are begging at our
doors for meal of victuals and rob-
bling people at night. The tramp
nuisance has engaged the attention
men In all parts OF the country; but
here in Dallas, 1t occurs to us, these
men might be utilized on our streets
and sidewalks. Let every man who
begs meal be reported to the police,
arrested and put to work for thirty
days on the streets. They all protest
they would work (for their food If no
more) ifthey could find employment.
AS the cotton fields, fairly wasting for
lack of help, are 80 far out in the coun-
try, we think it nothing less than jus
tice to these Industrious beggars to
give them an opportunity of proving
their sincerity by work upon the
streets-for which the city will board
them, and that is what they say they
are willing to work for.
The tramp is danger, as we'll as a
nuisance, for he goes into the houses
of people when no man is about, and
crime is often the result of opportu-

Dallas should lose no time In form
ing It's school committees, having
trustees appointed, proper teachers Sc
lected, and steps taken to secure her
pro rata of the school fund now In the
State treasury to the county's credit.
The provision Of the school law as to
the formation Of 'communities' 10 Oh
follows:
"Section 20. Parents and guardians,
or next friend, of any minor, residents
of any county of this State, on or after
the first Monday Of January, and up
TO the beginning of the next scholastic
year, In order to avail themselves of
the benefits of the available school
fund for their county, for the scholas-
tic year, beginning the next succeed
ing September, may organize them
selves into school communities, em-
braciDg such population ~ may agree
to avail themselves of the benefits of
the available public free school fund,
on the following terms, viz: they shall
make out list to be signed In person
by such parents and guardians as de-
sire to avail themselves of the avAila-
BILE school fund; which list shall in
clude the names and ages of children
to be instructed, who may be within
the scholastic age, on the first day OF
the next September, which names
of children shall be made In alpha
betical order, which list shall al
30 include all minors within the
schOlastios age, In said commune
by, who have no legal guardians;
said list, together with an application
to the County Judge, stating that they
desire, in good faith, 10 organize Q
school at such place as they may des-
ignate, shall be filed with the County
Judge; said application shall also
show the capacity of the school houses
and school cOnveniences, II any.
Section 80. The application to estab-
| lish a school, In case there be school
house reported, shall ask that the pro
rata of the available school fund prop
erly due to the number of children re-
ported be credited to said school COM
inunity.
On the receipt OF such petition, IL
satisfied it Is made in good faith, the
County Judge enters an order sane
tioning the establishment of such
school community, and designating 1t
1t by its name and number. Three
trustees are then appointed by the
County Judge for the community. No
time is designated by the law for
teaching the free schools, this being
left In the discretion Of the trustees OF
each community, who fix the time 30
rs to secure the largest attendance OF
scholars with the least injury to home
interests. BY o supplemental Sec
ton, steps can be taken TO form
school communities Immediately
after September lst 1876.

Gas Works.

We copy from the National OIL
Journal of october 1874 from long
article on the subject of Petroleum or
Naptha gas, in which 1t says: The
gas is safe and reliable under all cir
cumstances that coal gas Is, and under
some that coal gas is not. For in
stance, II requires larger and more
perfect admixture OF air TO air To make
II explosive, and does not deterioate
under extreme cold or pressure rs coal
gas does, for the latter reason M well
M ON account OF its vastly greater
lighting power. Simplicity and safety
are the two great desiderata In gas
making apparatus for general use.
The practical results or the greater
brilliancy OF this gas Is not that burn
er using II will give five times more
light than one using coal gas In the
same quantity but that burner us
ing one foot of this gas per hour will
give M much light as q burner using
five feet Of coal gas per hour. The pro-
duct of one barrel of Naptha Is equal
that OF two tons Of coal In lighting
power.p
Two barrels of Naptha, delivered
will cost 81 90, while the freight ontwo
tons Of coal will cost $40 90, freight and
coal included at IS 90 per ton will cost
SIG, showing II saving In Naptha Of
81 so.
The article then goes on to give fig
ures on population of four thousand
with street lamps, etc., giving n result
of thirty per cent. on capital OF $S4,-
900.
The works proposed to he built for
Dallas are only TO cost $25, 900, with
$4,000 feet OF iron mains or pipes, all
complete; one-half OF this amount Is
necessary to be taken by our citizens,
the contractor taking the balance.
Should parties desire a reasonable adj
diti0nal amount of stock, they can DO
accommodated. So there can be no oh.
lection urged against the enterprise
about outside parties controlling the
company. The subscription books Of
the company are now open, and II ~
important that the amount Of stock re-
quired shall DO taken at once, so that
the works shall be ready to furnish
gas to our citizens and to light up our
streets in time for our fall and winter
business. The payment on the same
will extend through the next six
months, the shares being 500 each.
Not even one who has the interest OF
our city at heart but will take from
one to five shares In this enterprise.
