A Card

To those who are really interested in
street improvements, we desire to say that
this is no time to divert the public mind
aware that this is a question with two
sides, and that many of ourw st and best
citizens differ as to the pruprl,. J of begin
ming this work now, and hence we again
repeat that nothing would throw such a
flood Of light upon the whole matter, as to
make it the living issue at the next city
election. 1t is question of too great mag
nitude, and too many conflicting interests
are at stake, for the City Council to move
forward without the word OF command from
the sovereign people, and being one of them
we shall make it our business, as il is the
duty of every tax payer, to have voice in
this matter. Thanking you for space, Mr..
Editor, am, respectfully, w, ID. X.

Other Interesting Local Matters
The Vow Gould Purchase

The circumyention of the Houston &
Texas Central, the Gulf, Colorado & Santa
Fe, and the Chicago, Texas & Mexican
Central railways by the Could untingdon
combination, was the theme of general dis
cussion Yesterday. The community seems
to have been taken by surprise by the news,
although the rumor that negotiations
were pending looking to the gobbling-up of
the prospective northern outlet Of these
roads by the railroad kings, was made
current week ago through the columns
of the HERALD.
As intimated at the time, an alliance was
formed by Gould and Huntingdon with a
view of so controlling transcontinental
transportation as to give them monopoly
of the trade at either end of the slope OF the
Rocky Mountains. The terms of the com.
bnation was to give the Huntingdon inter
est exclusive privileges over the Gould sys-
TEN of roads east of the Range, and the
Gould interest similar advantages over the
Huntington lines west of the divide to the
golden shores. A contamination of the
compromise was to harmonic the antago-
nism between the Missouri Pacific and the
Atchison, Topeka d Santa Fe.
The initial movement was the sale of Il
controlling interest in the st. Louis IL San
Francisco Railway, which was backed by
the Chicago, Burlington q Quincy, and a
hall interest in the Atlantic d Pacific Road,
the other half interest being under control
Ofthe Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe. The re-
ported sale Of the st. Louis IL San Francisco
to Huntington and Gould confirms the
rumor, and is regarded by railroad men as a
virtual cstopal of the extension of this
rno1 ,rl,i,l, had ,,Innpnl anil NrnYnyn1 o.,
build parallel road to the Missouri Pacific
to San Francisco, and change the line OF
the Atlantic e. Pacific to connection with
the Southern Pacific at Colorado City.
1t is conceded by railroad men, so far as
it effects the Texas systems of roads, that
The purchase kills all hope of a northern
outlet for the Houston Il Teas Central
the Gull, Colorado & Santa Fe, and the
Chicago, Texas and Mexican Central roads,
via Paris, and necessitates the changing Of
The direction of their lines from northeast
TO northwest. The purchase, it is predicted
with certainty, will stop the extension OF
the st. Louis IL San Francisco extension
through the Indian Nation, but in the
event that road is extended from Fort
Smith, Arkansas, to Paris, Texas the objec.
tive point will be Longview instead Of
Dallas
While this is true it is held it will have no
additional effect upon Dallas, as another
line north under the same management as
that now controlling our eastern and
northern outlets would give us no lighter
rates or greater advantages than we now
possess, and We still have superior facilities
over surrounding towns, through the
Texas e St. Louis Narrow Gauge, or the
water lines which the Texas Central and
Santa Pe may be compelled to place upon

An Opera-iIousc,

When the 0pera-house is built in Dallas,
there will be no difficulty i'll obtaining star
talent. The most distinguished actors re-
fuse to visit place devoid of first-class
arrangements. The most noted example
We knew Of is that of Bernhardt, who re-
fused to go to Kansas City, II city of 10000
population, on account of its insufficient
houses, and went to Leavenworth only
twenty-iour miles distant, where they had
a handsome opera-housc, of ample dimen-
sions. We think our success here in secur-
ing dramatic talent has been wonderful,
under the circumstances, but with Mum
Der one Opera-house, we would draw the
best in the land, and cultivate a refined and
elegant taste among our people. Some go
so far as to say that, with such advantages,
we might indnce Oscar Wilde to visit us.
That may be, but we hope our remarks
contain nothing calculated to retard the
erection of the proposed building

HnZnl kIrke

On Wednesday and Thursday nights and
Thursday afternoon matinee, our theatre
going public will enjoy the rare privilege of
seeing Hazel Kirke, at Craddock's Opera-
house. This is one of the most noted and
popular meIo-dramas now on the American
stage, and is greeted with furore of delight
and appreciation everywhere. Miss Gen
evleve Rogers, a charming young actress,
whose fame as brilliant daughter of Thes-
PTS IS coeXtenslve with the limits OF our
country, is the leading lady in this com
pany aud will play the title role. The Bos
ton Journal says of the play "The longest
run ON record is assuredly a solid claim on
which to usher Hazel kirke" into Boston
appreciation, and our spirit of investiga-
ton is piqued at once to uncover the
vital spring of the comedy drama. Emer-
son says: Beauty is its own apology for
being" The beauty of sentiment, native
to every heart, must account for the pro-
tracted hold of this production. Its essence
is the simple pathos of domestic life, of
| pure love sadly tried, Of tender hearts
probed to their depths. Inspected strictly
as a drama it will yield its due share of
proiiciences; but its unaffected appeal to
the loving and lovable in all our natures
dlsarms the ungracous purpose of criti-
cism. The canons of construction are
| forgotten in the outbursts of feeling, and
ideas of artistic unity are merged in tho
more absorbing union of nature. "IIazcl
kirke" is domestic drama, marked by
| purity and simplicity-to analy2e 1t closely
is to open the calyx of primrose and scat
ter at once both the corolla and sepals.
The touching story IF Hazel Kirke, who
forsook the home she loved and bore
the imprecations of an exasperated
father, for the sake of him who was
to make her his wife, but returns
to that home desparing outcast,
and is at last snatched from suicide to be re-
stored to her true husband and happiness
cannot be fifty told without the dramatic
dress with which it is invested, Among
the constructive merits of the piece are in
genious contrivances of dramatic effect the
concentration of action, and the employ
ment of the strongest basis for historic art
and conflicting emotions. In the humor it
is diiluse AMI at times triiling, but in pathos
1t is terse and touching. The audience last
evening gave most hearty evidence of ap-
probation, and recalled the leading actors
