Tor building narrow gauge railways is
certainly novel one in Texas, and, in
our Judgment, the most feasible one to

'rected, Colonel IL, proposes that the
citiaens OF Dallas and johnson counties
subscribe the sum of 10000 por mile to
be paid in instalmcnts as the road is
built-thc first instalment to he due
upon tho completion of the first ten
miles, the second instalment upon tho
completion of tho next ten miles, and
so ON. When this subscription is Maid
the payor shall receive certificate of
transportation, which said certificate is
negotiable emitting the holder to trans
portation on the road at tariff or con
tract rates. This certificate of trans.
portation to constitute n first mortgage

road may have some income to pay
running expenses the certificates are to

| WnrELAw REID has given utterancc
to wise words respecting journalism
that should commci@ themselves to all
thoughtful men. 1t Is certainly true
that the greatest newspapers are those
which look for news, not advertise.
ments, With the nows comes circula.
ton, and when circulation commands,
the advertisements seek the paper not
the paper the advertisements, "Makc
your newspaper so good, so full of news
80 truthful, 80 able that people must
take it; make its circulation so great
that advertisers will plead for the priv
lege OF getting into it--those seem to me
the two great commandments of our
better journalism. When ut last we get
our feet planted ON this solid ground,
no newspaper can afford to suppress or
soften the truth in any business inter
est, More and more the trade of
selling advertisements is getting re-
duccd to rs plain u basis as the trade of
selling Hour or potatoes, where the
money paid over the counter represents
the exact selling price of tho arti.
Gle bought, and there is no dream of
further obligation ON either side. BY
and by we shall see all reputable journ.
ais stop depreeiating their own wares by
admitting that it is necessary to call at.
tcntion to an advertisement in the read
ing columns to get it seen; treat rs pre-
postorous the request that there shall
be some notice of theatre or lecture
Just to accompany the advertisement
you know; take rs an insult tho sug-
gestion that if an editorial could be
mado speaking we'll of the capabilities
OF region and its needs of railroad
thorc would be a heavy advertisement
of railroad bonds; utterly refuse ON
whatever specious plea of public as well
rs OF private interest, to suffer one line
to appear rs reading matter which tho
editor did not select because he thought
II OF more interest than any other mat. |
ter it might displaco and the paper did
not publish without penny pay. Some
OF tho reforms, in the case of any but
the strongest journals, will como SLOWLY.
for they amount to revolution; but
come they will-not because publishers
will be more disinterested than now
out because, looking to the rights of
'caders, their paramount importance to
he newspapers they support and tho
need of keeping faith with
hem, publishers will see such reform to
70 sound business policy, and any other
curse to be business quackery.

uAted No. re Jackson street, and has
lately purchased the lot in his imme-
diate rear, on which Is situated
spring which has been used as n public
convenience for several years Mr..
I4anier complains that Thomas White
cursed aud abused both him and his
wife because he had fenced Ia his
spring aud refused them further priv
iIeges to It's use. He made a complaint
before the Mayor, but owing 10 some
iniormality in the papers and the abb
sence OF certain witnesses. the case
was dismissed yesterday morning. He
states, besides, that several plaukswere'
torn from his fence and some lying
near We're carried OIL From his state
ment 1t would seem that he has lately
purchased the property whereon tho
spring is situated; that his neighbors
had heretofore enjoyed kind OF
community right tits enjoyment and
claim his excluding them not only an
infringement, but IAN outrage, and had,
therefore, proceeded to extreme meas,
ures, AS further threats against him
have been made, we are assured the
chief of police will protect him, and
the mayor will punish the offenders, il
they are caught aud the above facts
proved. Mr. Lanier has certainly the
right to exclude any or all persons
from intrudng on his enclosed prem
Ises, however great hardship it may
work for them.

work well, and bring us much for ex-
hibition In all departments.
Colonel w. w. Ross, accompanied
by his wife and neice, will leave to-
morrow for the Centennial and other
Northern shows. We wish Colonel
Ross pleasant trip, but will wager
anything that he would enjoy himself
more hunting in the glades of Florida,
or chasing the buffalo on the plains.
Mr.. Samuel J. Loeb, travelling agent
of the Cincinnati "American Israe-
lite" and "Deborph," has been in the
city several days. There Is wide field
here for the extension of his paper, for
our Hebrew fellow-ci citizens are both
numerous and ready to sustain such
enterprises. We wish him successful
and pleasant trip through this great
country.
Governor J. w. Throckmvrton will
return to this city to-day from an ex.
tensive canvassing trip if the western
counties Tarrant, Parker, Erath,

ties and will be on the war. path from

The Mayor,s Court

His Hon0r's tribunal Is but slimly
attended in these Lonesome, latter
days" Beyond few druaRs aud
downs, scarcely ripple breaks the
even surface Of its unbroken current.
Once in awhile, like angel visits, there
is n change which stirs up the audience
and officers, but, this once ever, every
thing settles back to the old grooves.
This shows that our police force, while
inadequate in numbers, is Well able.to
preserve order on their beats But
eight or ten, however vigllant, cannot
patrol twenty miles of streets. Give
Captain Morton few more men and
you will hear no more of thefts, rob
berries or assaults in the suburbs.
