Pacific will be driven and The connection
between our State and the old home OF the
Montezumas be contaminated for all time
The country West ofus, and between this
city aud El Paso bids fair In few years Ia
become the most prosperous and populous
section OF the State, and will Inevitably In
the future be tributary TO and dependent
upon Dallas more than any other city Of
the Southwest, and our merchants and bus
mess men cannot too soon acquaint them
selves with the country referred to. The
most cordial relations therefore, at the ear
lest moment ought to be established with
the people along this western extension,
and one of the most expeditions and success
full means for accomplishing this OBJ
iect would be through the in
strumentality of the excursion
suggested by our contemporary. What our
country wants is healthy and cordial COM
merciat relations with Mexico. 1t is true
that the Texas & Pacific Railroad does not
penetrate the Republic Of Mexico, yet it
touches the border, and it will ere long con-
meet with the railroad system now being
constructed in that Republic, and in an
immediate way it will prove to
be an important factor in estab-
fishing not only the warmest
friendly, but even fraternal relations
between our country and our sister Repub-
lie that loves its traditions from the days
of the AIT, rs when the Montczumas were
all powerful in the land. Happily the
old animosities between Americans and
Mexicans, engendered by the border trou-
bles between outlaws on both sides the Rio
Grande, and that which survived the combats
OF Monterey, Molino del Rey, Cherubusco,
and the City of Mexico, have well nigh passed
away. A kindlier feeling has sprung up and
warm friendship is growing in strength
day by day. The railroad enterprises
and the spirit of development and advance
ment so rife on the American continent in
these latter years have brought about this
thing. In few years a civilization Mexico
never knew before will have unfurled its
banners over that country, and its unpar-
alleled resources will be brought to light.
Its productive capacities, as wonderful as
ever man dreamed of are yet to be made
known and its mineral stores are in the fti-
ture to be made to yield of their bounties for
mans good. The people themselves, now are
STEPPED in the deepest depths of Ignorance
and superstition, but with an intelligence
capable of all cultivation, will keep pace
with the times and the new day that has
dawned upon Mexico will have noontidc
refulgence that will fill all the world with
its glory. So by all means we say let us of
this city and section take advantage of
every opportunity to visit and solicit this
western country and trade. and if possible
reap some of the fruits of this Mexican
commerce. Let excursions be projected
and enjoyed often and good results are
bound to ensue.

THANKSGIVING Day.

Thursday was Thursday. If anybody
can say more he can get it from the pro
clamation Of the President and the Govern.
it was well remembered in Dallas In days Of
yore it was considered New England af-
fair, when the annual family reunion was
celebrated, and the great-grand- father pre-.
sided over the festivities. The turkey was
the boss dish in spite of Goldfish season; but
upon investigation we find that the world
at large has memorized the closing Of har-
vest, or 'crop gathering" and universally
with the same bird, perching. in his brown
quently we conclude the custom origi-
mated in Turkey. The Proclamation men
and the -Proclaimists all united on the
lovely crisp day gone by in canonizing the
memory of the last gobbler of Isl. The. sa-
loon men spread him on their tables and
the American banner never had its eagle
spread as did the hotel keepers on the ma
tional feast occasion. The st. George had
what its guests considered gorgeous dim
ner and the Grand Windsor was simply
superb. Howard is but synonym
for philanthrophy, but the old
ancestral name was illumined by
the efforts of the modern Howard

OF this we speak with that peculiar convic-
ton that nothing short ofabsolute. personal
presence could give. -And yet the other
guests, clad in wedding garbs,'' say their
menu was as grand as our menu. The
Catholic church and Episcopaleans held
services, well attended, at their respective
places OF worship, and the other churches
united in Joint devotion at the. First Pres
byterian Church. Places of business gen.

SHALL WE CHANGE THE LAW.

A few days since in one Of. our sister
States not so very far away, an interesting
\ and important case was on trial. In the
course Of the investigation of the cause, il
was necessary TO call a reputable citizen to
testify, and one, too, by whom it was alone
possible to prove the most important facts
perhaps Of the trial. The counsel upon the
opposing side objected to the competency
Of the witness, on the ground that he, the
witness, had no orthodox belief on the sub
ject Of future state ofrewafds and punish
ments. The witness was thereupon exam
med upon his 'svoir dire" and stated he
believed that the shortcomings Of the man
in the different derelictions Of duty were
punished in the p esent world in the flesh,
though he coull not discard the idea OK
faith in Supreme Being. He was, by yfhe
court adjudged an incompetent witness.
and his testimony therefore, though valua-
bic. was lost TO the case. We all remem-
