DALLAS, March 18th, 1915.
To tho Editor OF tho Dallas Herald:
A gentleman who exhibited largely
at the late fair in New Orleans IN
formed the writer that the sentiment
was almost universal among the West
ern exhibitors that 1t would not pay
them TO go to the Houston fair as il
was too far from the centre of the ma
jority of their sales, but that almost
every one tCOud come to Dallas to show
their productions.
The sentiment was universal among
them, " Let Dallas got up such a fair
~ she did Mardi Gras carnival, and
she will have the best fair ever held in
the State" and these men meant it,
rs they looked at the matter in IDOL
lar and cent" point OF view to them
selves, believing this was the best
point in the entire Southwest to adver-
tise their goods.
1 do not think, there is a live busi-
ness man In this city who to-day
doubts but what the money spent on
our Carnival was the most judiciously
expended and "placed where it did
more good" than any public enter
prise ever before undertaken by our
citizens; but the same amount of
money and energetic tenacity of pur-
pose, devoted to u grand agricultural,
mechanical and fine art exhibition,
will give us n fair only second to the
ST. Louis fair in the United States, and
rebound to the city in all hundred fold.
This is easier of accomplishment
than the carnival and will pay better
on the Investment. You organized
and carried out the second best carni-
val ever cotton up in the United States
in two months from its inception, and |
in six months the same energy and
amount of money will do likewise in
the way of a fair.
Men who have built Dallas up to
her present enviable position, you
must think of this, and having done
30, act, and act at once. d. h. q.

regarding the relation it bears to the duration
of the worlds lifetime We feel kind OF
compunction in forestalling the wonderful
deductions of the village debating societies
and are in despair at spelling the gossip Of
the husking parties; but duty to mass
OF our matter-of-fact readers who have
no time for researches into the mysteries
OF the aerial world compels us to explain.
AT different periods in history there have
been recorded such strange occurrences as
showers of live fish over considerable areas Of
land and all bearing the evidences of having
been but lately transferred from their natu-
raj element to the aerial heights whence they
fell to the earth. Vast numbers of small
frogs have also been known to fall durino
rain showers, and in the Middle Ages the in
habitants of Europe were stirred to repent
ance for their manifold sins by an ominous
shower of blood-an event which was
promptly turned to account by the religious
teachers of the time and pointed to as an evil
dence of the Divine displeasure at the wicked.
ness of men. But sceptical philosophers
discovered that atmospheric whirlpools, such
as that recently experienced at st. Charles,
Mo-, could suck all the water out of ponds,
.and even create waterspouts that raised vast
bodies of water from the sea, and of course
frogs and fishes went upward with the ele-
ment they inhabited. The shower of blood
was proved to be caused by the red pollen Of
certain plants growing in Eastern Europe,
and which, being borne through the upper
air by the force of the winds, became mixed
with the falling rain and impaired to il
all the appearance of blood. If the
story from Sterling, KY, is true the
shower of quivering flesh was nothing
more than mass of the Larvae of insects,
which, having been caught up by whirl-
wind and carried to an immense height, re-
turned to earth again in the form of a shower
of bruised and wriggling worms. Many OF
the lonely Western lake shores are sur.
rounded with vast accumulations of these
larvae of flies, which present most dis
gusting spectacle by the quivering, crawling
movement of the little red worms that COM
pose the mass. The upward centripetal mo
ton of tornadoes is favorable for the raising
of heavier objects than worms to a great
eleVat1On, ana uHeIe Is HO uOupb tHuo oHo
deposit at Sterling Ky, is due to this cause.
The quivering motion observed in the so
called flesh is either due to the '1ast kicks"
of the worms in their dying struggles. or to
the shrinkage of their tissues when exposed
to the action of denser atmosphere. In
the far West the Indians dry these Larvae in
cakes and use them for food. Innumerable
birds diet on them also. 1t is therefore not
to be wondered at that the Kentucky hogs
and chickens regarded as high living what
poor Lo considers delicacy.

failure in practice as the others TO which we
have alluded. Instead of the strict
separation between the executive and
legislative branches of the government
which the trainers of the consti-
tuition intended, there is always a
close concert and cooperation when
both belong to the same political party
The function Of the President in making ap-
pointments to Office is not, indeed, so idle
and mechanical as that of the Presidential
electors in choosing Presidents but it is
nevertheless true that a majority of the
federal appointments are really made by
members of Congress. A thing so notorious
hardly requires detailed proof but we will
allude to a statement made at this session
by Mr. Hale, of Maine. He was replying on
the floor of the House to some democrats
who had alluded to President Grants power
to procure his denomination by his influence
over the federal office-holders. Mr.. Hale's
answer consisted in n statement of the facts
which existed in his own district He
asserted that the federal appointments in his
district had been made on his own recon-
mendation. and expressed the opinion,
which nobody contradicted, that this was in
conformity with the usual practice Every
body knows that this is the ordinary method
and it shows how futile was the idea of the
trainers of the constitution that they had
made a complete separation between the
Executive and Congress, and had rendered
each Independent of the influence of the
other.
1t was the original plan of the Federal
Convention that the President should be
elected by Congress. That method was
twice rejected and twice readopted, and it
would have been better had it been finally
adhered to- The vacillation and shifting
was between the electoral colleges and Con-
gress and at the last moment the Conven-
ton decided in favor of the electoral college
system, which has proved so idle and abortive.
A change in the direction of the English
system would necessarily vest the choice of
the Cabinet, either directly or indirectly, in
Congress but, quite apart from the merits
of the English system of prompt accounta-
bility, it would be an improvement to go
back to the original plan of the Federal
Convention and elect the President by the
legislative department.
The New York herald., 1876-03-11
Erfrndlff0n.

Our Canadian neighbors are altogether
right in their notion that the Extradition
treaty between Great Britain and the United
States is behind the times and ought to be
amended so as to cover a larger category of
offences 1t cannot be agreeable to them to
have their cities made the refuge of the swarm
of swindlers constantly contributed by us.
This sort of tide may please the railroad
companies that carry passengers in that
direction, for it swells the dividends that
they are able to pay; but the railroad men
are somewhat indifferent to good morals.
AS it is not pleasant to the Canadians to have
our rogues it must also be disagreeable to
them to be deprived of their own, upon
whom they would take satisfaction in inflict-
ing the penalties of the law. Our treaty
with England scarcely goes beyond the list
of great crimes 1t includes murder and
assault with intent to commit murder pi-
racy, arson, robbery, forgery and the utter
ance of forged paper. All our munic-
ipal thieves are safe in Canada, except such
as could be charged with the making of
forged vouchers. Between countries situ-
ated as we are with regard to Canada, whose
social and political character are so nearly
alike, every offence that could be punished
under the common law by q sentence to
State Prison in either country should be in
cluded in the Extradition treaty. 1t will be
a surprise to the country at large to find that
we would, perhaps. already have secured
such treaty but for some notions of Mr..
Fish. That gentleman appears in the un-
usual light of the supporter of system un-
der which hundreds of criminals are safe as
soon as they can cross the border. At any
time between 1870 and 1874, as appeared by
the English diplomatic papers we gave yes
terday, the English government was ready
to make liberal treaty. and endeavored to
do so, but was compelled to give up the
attempt on account of Mr. Fish's
adherence to point that could not
be conceded on account of English
statutes to the contrary. Mr. Fish's
point was that in certain cases the courts
should not determine on an important point,
but that this should rest with the Secre-
tary of State. This point was whether or no
extradition was really sought with view to
punish for q political offence. Under the
English law the accused cannot be sent ont
of the country if he can prove to the salts
faction of the magistrate that he is wanted
in the other country only on account of po-
litical misdoings; and as that was their law
they could not agree to do by treaty acts in
contravention of that law. But Mr. Fish re-
quired that points like this should not go to
the courts, but should be determined by the
Secretary of State; for he wished to make
treaty which, as the supreme law of the land,
would override our State laws and the resort
to State courts, and enable him by tapping
little bell like the one Mr. Seward had to
send out of the country any man who was
called for. This was certainly strange
ground for Mr. Fish to take and on which to
refuse any improvement of the present mad
equate treaty.
