WHO have backed taen up. We shall be
u,etul TO the Pa'mer.Su)livan people; but
they will be equally so to US!
We have to go away from homo to learn
!he news very often. A Wilmington, Della
ware paper tells us some, as shown below by
The Waco Telephone. Now won't the Della
ware journal tell us where it became SO well
posted? Why, the only thing that hangs to
our lamp posts nowis FIRE, not fire in the
lamp, but it hangs fire 10 the council, just
whers the gas is, when it ought to be in the
lamp. The truth is it is too dark these
nights, with the street lights all out, 10 catch
sburgAr, unless the moon gives him away.
But here's what the Telephone says:
Dallas gets extensively advertised, being
An exceedingly lucky town. We remember,
last year, a census bulletin that was issued
wherein the population of Dallas figured as
beng somewhat over thirty thousand souls
o. course the error arose In crediting to D,l>
las city what properly belonged 10 Dallas
county but there WAS the statement, in BLACK
and waite, authorized by the census bureau,
and SO great in Dallas is the reverence for
ANYTHING uficisl that the Dallas papers and
people have suffered that statement $50 far
as any denial of theirs is concerned) 10 re-
msiu unohaileugtd 10 this day. Aud now
comes an eastern piper- Every Evening
published Mt Wilmington, Delaware Senator
Bayard's organ, too-that gives the lucky
city another free boost. We quote; Dat
las, Texas, Is procee ling in practical way
to get rid Of its trsmps and burglars. The
city having become infested with these pests,
avigllant committee has been organized Ia
each ward, clothed with full power, so far
atne sanction of the people can confer it, to
hang every tramp and burglar caught TO a
lamp post Three burglars have already
been executed and a tramp only escaped by
s1lemnly swearing to leave the city at once
and never re,urn." We fancy the medi.
hnons OF thieves and roughs over the country
as they read this thrilling story. Such par
graph. trave, fast. Papers pick them
up and Tepublish with cheerful slac-
fi.y, and throughout the east, at least,
the name of Dallas, Texas, will be held 10
reverence by the gentry who make innocent
people "hold up their hands" and chloro-
form citzeD sleepers before robbing their
domiciles. The "vigilantss" may acquire as
vide spread notoriety as a similar organizes
lion in San Francisco years ago, and in time
TO come gu figure in the sensational ten
cent literature OF the day. If the tramp who
only escaped by leaving the city and sol
EMMY ssearing never to return" could only
% found and induced 10 give his experience
10 The newspapers, it would al the measure
OF this latest bJom of Dallas. It's Just pure
luck. Such paragraphs never get in the
eastern papers about Galveston or Houston,
which arc sesports; or San Antonio, which
the largest town in the state; or Waco,
which is the "Athens of Texas" or Austin,
which is the o iVer Twist of the Lone Star
empire. 1t Is always Dallas.
The Alvsrsdo Bulletin thus reflects the
general s,uss, when it makes tse following
ob'ervsSioIs on hackneyed subiaci:
