WE have 10 definite advice from our rail-
way committees but it is TO be hoped that
they are moving forward actively in their
work. The gentlemen constituting the COM
mittee possess the confidence of cur people.
They are good business mer; their success
proves this. 1t would be amatter difficult to
explain, were they to fail in their purposes,
and in the Accomplishment of the work
voluntarily assumed. Dallas is far from
doing the trade which her prestige and
standing should accord her. Our retail bust
ness els far from satisfactory 1t will n
tinue in its present dswdling and uncertain
state unless we run out from her midst new
iron roads,i The day Of dirt roads and
wagon trade has passed away from Dallas.
Let us realize this fact at once. The wagon
trade is gone. 1t is among the things that
were. We cannot bringit back. But there
is remedy fer i, and we should adopt the
remedy unless we propose TO die with IMAM
ition or the dry-rot; SAl it is the only
remedy. 1t is utterly impossible to place
Dallas where she belongs unless we build
other railways. There must be such sharp
competition in railway fare that any farmer
can enter the city by paying p cents per
mile, instead of 8. This much.needed re-
duction in fare would benefit the people and
the railways alike The country merchant
and the farmer must be brought into Dallas
by cheaper rates of travel, Freights should
DO so low that ii could not possibly pay the
farmer 10 haul by wagon his cotton and
wheat to Dallas. We have just rail ways
enough now to kill US, We bear their
burdens land taking taxation into question
they are heavy without adequate cowpensat-
ing benefits. 1t is Of vl,alimportance to con.
struct others. So do this we must, eve.y
man OF us assist the existing committees in
theic LAHORE. With, concerted action and a
pull altogether we can secure arcalization Of
all those advantages now SO earnestly hoped

and his men have gotten. This canal was
Hrat projected when John Quincy Adams was
president of the United States and il seemed
then for while that it would certainly be-
dug The scheme FL through, however, and
remained in allegiance until Just before the
late war, when it was again mooted, but hos.

nothing was done. Immediately after the
war the project was again agitatcd, but more
urgent demands for capital caused lay I'M
til recently, an equal number of Boston and
New York moneyed men have been enlisted
in the work and it will now be pushed
through. Vessels.that ply between New York
and Boston and other ports on the New Eng
land coast now make an aggregate of 40 900
trips around Cape Cod yearly, and as the
navigation owing to fogs and winds is dan
gerous, this canal, which will also save ninety
miles in distance, will be blessing indeed. 1t
will be two hundred and twenty-five feet
between banks and of the same depth of the
Suez canal. It runs through eight miles of a
neck between Buzzsrd bay and Cape Cod
bay. The company constructing it expect
to realize satisfactory dividends upon the in-
vestment by cheap transit fees.

Groceries at Cost,

Messrs. Isadore Freiberg & Co. advertise
that they are selling out their immense stock
of groceries at cost and are offering bar
gains to everybody. These gentlemen are
going to leave Dallas, and therefore are
disposing of their goods as soon as possible.
They have heavy stock of all staple and
fancy groceries. Their stock is choice
one, indeed, well selected, fresh goods and
they are giving wonderful bargains. Dial.
las will mics this enterprising, liberal firm,
but as they are bent on seeking another
locality for business, why, let the public
avail themselves CT the bargains they give.

IT is alleged that many voters scratched
the name of Judge David Terry, ono of the
democratic electors in California, because OF
his connection with the Brodercll duel. We
are 10th to believe that this is true, for Judge
Terry killed Senator Broderick in u duel
some years before the late wsr,and it does not
seem reasonable that sensible men would be
Influenced in their sutfrages BY an act done
more than twelty years ago, and that was
adjudicated by the courts. We have no word
to utter in defense of duellng, but think
that after twenty years the statute of limita-
ton runs, especially when the duel is en-.
gagged in under the imperious custom Of the
country where it occurs, We suspect Judge
Terry was scratched because he was colonel
in the confederate army.

Mrs. Bernard, about to become the wife
Of Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, is di.
vorced from former husband who has
since married again. a correspondent of
the Chicago Times says of her. There has
been some ill-natured gossip about her at
Indianapolis, and when Senator, Mcdonald
began 10 pay her attention the snobs of So
ciety thought the time had come to put
down Mrs. Bernard; they fancied that if
they gave her a big dose of cold shoulder
she would never dare to accept McDonalds
heart and hand, and the grizzly senator
would not dare to offer himself. They car
ried out their intention, and Mrs. Bernard
was shockingly snubbed by the very people
who had sat at her board and partaken of
her hospitality. Mcdonald is no coward,
however, and it is well known that he will
be only too happy to marry her. and that
those who undertake to snub her after that
will find ont how snubbing goes.

ExecutlOner I'm TrOubIo.

An executioner over in Vienna il
going to be requested to resign, lit
hasn't already been done. A murder.
or there was hanged by him recently,
and he was asked by professor in q
medical college to provide him fer once
with "warm corpse" 70 comply
with this request he shortened the le-
gal "eight minutes" for which crimi
nal should hang to three, and handed
the corpse over to a physician, who
declared it to be entirely dead. The
body was laid out for dissection, but
began to show signs Of life. The pro-
fessor sent to ask the authorities if the
murderer was to be restored to life, or
executed again before he awoke! In
the meantime he thought it his duty as
human being to do all he could to
restore the life which had so unexpsc-
tsdly shown itself. After an hours
hard rubbing and inhaling of saks the
man returned TO conciousness, and
they were going to hang him again,
but the public protested. 30 did the
lawyers. They concluded to let him
live, but he died in spasms in just
twenty-four hours after his execution.
