The cotton men are having little fun all

cotton buyers and shippers, having rented
the old press, known IS the Merchants, pros
posed TO combine press or warehouse bus
mess with that of shipping OF course they
have solicited business, and receipts have
been stored about equally in the City and
Merchants presses. Yesterday morning all
the shippers in the city, save Caller Il Hill,
signed An agreement, promising not to buy
cotton from any one who stored outside the
City press, they holding that cotton bought
in the Merchants press gave Messrs. Caller

The jail Middle.

There 10 considerable talk being done
about the letting OF tho contract to A.
Brownlee by the county commissioners
court, for the building of new jail, and q,
the HERALD pub ished the protest of County
Judge Burke, as to the manner in which the
contract was let, below ia given the answer
OF Commissioners Keller and Grove, who
filed their response to the protest on the 18th
OF August though tho original papers are
missing and have never been spread upon
the minutes
TO the Commissioners Court of Dallas Co.;
The undersigned, county commissioners.
considering that the protest of Judge r g.
Burke, spread upon the minutes on yester.
day, reflects upoo their action in awarding
the jail contract, deem II right and proper
that au expression from them should also
find place upon the records of this court.
They had every reason 10 believe that Judge
Burke was In favor ofletting out the con>
tract, as II has been done, as he repeatedly
Expressed himself opposed TO architects and
was not only present, bu. consenting and
agreeing, when the plan for dispensing with
architects was discussed and passed upon.
The protest referred to should have been
made at the inception Of this business (more
than thirty days ago. when it was apparently
unanimously agreed upon to advertise
for plans, specifications and bids. The
protest ia now out of place and out
of date, having been made after the
contract has been let, and does injustice not
only to them but to the signer OF the pro-
test, who now disspproves what no pre-,
viously approved of. There is ne disputing
the fact that this protest reflects upon their
action, whether intentional or not upon the
part of the protestor, and therefore they in
sist upon this paper being spread upon the
minutes, or that said protest DO eIpunged
therefrom. The undersigned acted fairly
and honestly, and with their best experience
in this matter, aud II they have erred, II !.
only what better men have done many
times before them. They do not claim 10
DO perfect, but they do svow and declare
that the contract for the new Jail was
awarded Judge Burke not dissenting until
afterwards) according to their best judgment
and, as they verify believe, for tho very bes,
interest Of Dallas lounty.

The Persecution of the Jews.

The Jews have been from all time au
exclusive people; pride of race and con
tempt of the Gentiles round about them
distinguished them already III the days
when they warredagainstt the Amalellites.
They sincerely and truly believed that II
was not pleasing TO Him that His children
should act like the peoples round about
them. Eighteen centuries of cruel, sense
less prosecutions, OF enforced exclusion
from intermiXture with other nations, OF
inter-marriage IN small communities,
have intensified all the distinctive physi-
cal and mental features of the Jews, SO
that not only their good but their bad
qualities have become accentuated. Not
even the eighteenth century, so ready to
boast ON its enlightenment, had opened
the gates of the Ghetto and accorded
civil liberties to people who, of all peo-
pies, are peace-loving, law-abidlng and
least likely to abuse these privileges.
The gates have now been thrown down,
the liberties freely granted, and 1t Is
difficult TO foretel what the jew will be
few centuries shence-indeed, If there Will
be Jews left at all. They are far too as
similatiye, far too keen-sIghted, not to be
affected by and to recognize the propri-
ETY. inherent in, the cosmopolitan ten
denotes OF the present DAY. FOR ollf-
selves. we have no faith in the schemes
of enthusiasts portrayed by Daniel
Deronda and his friend Mordecai, In the
national restoration of the Jewishpeople,
and feel convinced that, were theattempt
made, it would result in a mere exodus
of the scum of the population. What
has distinguished the Jewish people and
kept them nation so long is the fact
that their nationality is notrooted in the
land from which they have so long been
absent, but in the law, which they can
bear about with them everywhere. Tie
Jews are at present In transitional state.
1t is commonly said it takes three gener-
ations to make a gentleman. 1t must
certainly take as long to obiterate all
the cruel memories of Christian oppress-
ion that tlinger among those whose grand
fathers remember the pressure of disa-
bling laws.-Erchang

Amnnr the TnrkS

As to the character of the Turks, it
has been said by one of the highest con-
sular authorities that the poorer and
humber ne Is, the better he Is. As he
gets money and power, he deteriorates.
In the lowest classes you may and do
meet with honesty; in the middle class
es, seldom in the highest, never. The
Turk, above all, is a good host. In
deed, hospitality is enjoined by the Ko-
ran. We may well take a lesson from
him, too, in politeness, especially in
conversation. If you are privileged to
have an interview with a Turk, you will
find him q good listener he never in
terrupis, and never wastes words to
make talk. When he has finished. he
asks permission to go, and vanishes. He
is not gwen to the odious, because
abused, custom of the shake hands. "
His salute, the Temenas, is most grace
ful. He makes the motion as if to
sweep the ground with his right hand,
bringing 1t to his heart, lips and fore
head thus indicating that all he has ON
earth is yours, as well as showing his
friendliness and constant thoughtfulness
for your welfare.
Listen to true story illustrating the
Turk in all his dealings, whether COM
mercially, politically, or as a diplomat
ist. A peasant was summoned before
the Cadi for stealing a sack of onions.
"Now we have thee on the hip, and
thou shalt know what it is to incur our
displeasure. Bismillah Choose, slave
wilt thou pay 1000 piasters, receive
100 blows of the bastinado, or wilt thou
eat the contents of the sack of onions
Quick choose
Gracious Lord, I have no money
wherewith to satisfy thee l fear the
bastinado, and will choose rather to eat
my onions.
He ate, and was fain to stop, and pre-
ferred the bastinado. After some fifty
strokes he repents, and thinks he can
find somewhere in his house 500 pias-
ters. But this money was not enough
to release him from his troubles he ate
more onions, then there wasalittle more
bastinado. Eventually he received eighty
strokes, ate nearly all the onions, and
paid the penalty of 1000 piasters in full
