THE DALLAS WEEKLY HERALD, THURSDAY, JANUARY

Exoduscs, such rs above indicated
will never trouble us much
politically, but from u financial and
business standpoint are exactly what we
need, and may be- decidedly felt We want
bone and muscle moro than we want any
thing else here just now, and have been
feeling the great need for year or so past,
Of such an exodus as might be started from
South Carolina, without seriously hurting
either the politics or business Of that State.
We of the South and the cotton belt, I'M
dcrstand black labor better than we can
white or Chinese, and this, in
turn, is the only safe home for
the negro Our interests, those indeed
upon which we depend mainly, have
actually suffered for want of laborers and
just such laborers as these Southern blacks
! We therefore hone that the "Mahonizing
of Texas" will really have the effect of fur
nishing us plenty of hands for the farm and
cotton-felds next season if 1t does
not do anything else Kansas and
Indiana movements on the part of the
Southern negroes are not found to be
strictly successes The st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch has some very sensible comment on
this matter, though it has to assume the
fact 1t says, after stating that there is a
heavy immigration into both Texas and
Arkansas, that the drift to the Southwest,
however, is much more natural one than
was the journey North. The negro isessen
TALLY a member of the tropical ia una, and
the best conditions for life for him are at
the South. The Carolinas do not offer the
advantages to the lab oring man who has no
capital, which ARE to be found
free for all in Texas and Arkansas.
Pauper immigration, of course, is of little
value to a commonwealth, but this new ex-
odus can hardly be described as pauper
movement. The blacks are very poor, but
they have good bone and sinew, which can
nowhere do so much, either for themselves
or for the community, as in the cotton
fields. When they have learned prudence
and persistence, they can rapidly make
homes for themselves. The same work will
produce more-will produce almost double,
in fact-in Texas than in South Carolina,
and the wisdom of the exodus is hardly to
be gansaid."

to Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, her
self one of the profoundest and
most entertaining writers that have
ever thread the fowery walks Of literature,

"yICE Is A MONSTER" ETC.

Our local columns this morning give the
denouement to Il case which has greatly
exercised this comMunity for the past
week. 1t is a tale which one would rather
think of as the romance of a novelist
| than the recital of reality.
1t is an event which, whether true or1alse
as furnished in its details, burns with sor-
row and degradation the hearts of several
families. Whether true or false, it is one
that finds it's duplicate only too often in our
social life, as our Geographic columns
from day to day are living evidences.
If murder is sought to be justified nova
days so often by the plea of insanity, surely
the crime that murders the happiness, the
fair name, the life of scores Of innocent
ones, ought to be, it would seem, entitled
to the benefit of the same plea. For ii
there be any crime on Garth hid
eous to the right-minded man, as hor-
rble as hell itself, seemingly impossible 10
a sane person, it is the crime of seducing
from the paths of virtue and goodness a
young girl. If there be anything despica-
BILE it is the going astray from, in open vio-
lation of, the marriage vow made UNI
der the most sacred of forms, the
most solemn and impressive of ceremonies,
in the presence of high heaven, with God
himself as the witness; and we care not
whether it be the man or the woman; for it
was binding on each alike. And if there be
anything despicable, it is man
who deceives the unsuspecting inno-
cence and tetrays the confiding
soul of one unskilled in the ways of the
world to lure her into a destruction worse
than that which the seal of death places
upon its Victim. And at the same time,
there be anything detestable it is woman
who, knowing better, debases her
nature, dragging from the angelic
to the loathsome specimen, name that
it was her duty to demand respect for, drag
ging down to the dust hearts that were akin
to her and hers. Our social system is too
rotten in many respects. We are too care
less of things we should hold above the
price Of all the wealth of Golconda. A
healthier public sentiment, a sentiment
that would sternly censure even the appear
ances of wrong, is needed to arrest an evil
which in its beginnings is too often counte-
nanccd as of small moment but which re-
suits in woes unnumbered, destroys
confidence and upsets some of the
most sacred of laws, human and divine.
Each and every man and woman, father
and mother, husband and wife, brother and
sister, should constitute himself and herself
a vigilance committee Of one to Indignantly
frown down the very first outcror-
pings of all that does not bear
the stamp Of honorable conduct, and
rebtke the reckless indiscretions that point
toward final ruin. The world is too full of
permanent misery born of temporary pas
sion, and the worst Of all misery is that
which sits at tie hearth-stone Of the do
nestle circle I'm the blackness Of despair,
more danining in its dishonor than the
blood-clots on the hands Of the guilty Mac
beth.

LESSON AND IT'S MORAL.

Unpleasant as is the theme, disgusting a:
are its details, there is in the recent domes
tic scandal with which the atmosphere o
Dallas has been polluted throughout the
past week, lesson that should be learned
and moral that should be needed to beal
good fruit for years and years to come. II
| illustrates how, by one false step, man OF
woman may from respectable position
suddenly plunge into the deepest,
direst depths of misery and disgrace,
| a life-t time degradation and a worldwide
shame 1t evidences how in the icy self
ishness ofpassion, one may in some fatal
hour of mad caprice blast the flower of life,
fair fame and all, and scar forever with
the brand of damnable vice, a
name Of once virtuous repute. 1t
shows how by .the hot direction of the
rampant flesh the foolish one glides into
danger, and the vicious mind forestalls the
fruit ere yet the blossom bushes from out
the coy and maiden leaves that in the
innocence of its virgin dawn sus-
poets not the garb that clothes the
fiend destroyer, until at last
the treasures of a mildewed soul are bank
rupted forever on shoreless sea. The
stealthy wretch that makes himself an in
strument for so dastardly a crime is as far
as zenith from the nadir, from even the
robber cashier at his post of con-
fidence. Treason is foul t. where
trust is greatest. There is, there can
be but one safeguard for man or woman, "l
ten weak as the weeds that sway obclcnc'
to the wooing winds, and that is an adamant-
inc wall to repel the first ins'diuus APP
proach of any unwarranted familiarity that
might blur the grace and blush of virgin
modesty. The ripples that simply vex
or puzzle at first may gradually
and imperceptibly swell into the ruthless
sea havoc; worse, because it permits to live
on the erring heart with sting that is
eternally poisoning itself; worse, be-
cause no remorse can cure, no
effort repair and no repentance
restore the victim that leads a living
death. For when once loves betrayed by
the syren voice into delusive dream the
heart can bloom no more. The same world
that is too prone to make light OF domestic
inidelity undiscovered to the general view
though none the less the gilded
curse, blisters with burning scarlet
the guilty one detected and exposed.
Let no man, let no woman dream on in
fIncied security about wrong he or she is
committing against society. As surely as
shines the sun there will come day, as UNI
expected in its dawn as a thief in the night,
that will close for him or her with more
than twilight terror of suspense revealing
that wrong in noontide clearness to all
ones fellows. This is the inevitable law,
and there is no escape for its violator. The
only safety lies in the fidelity Of that vigi-
liant sentinel, true modesty, which by its
very look conveys command against in
trusion.

form Of some 80 pages, by our fellow
iownsman, tie Rev. J. II. Curry, and pub
lshed by Mr.. CLANCY X. Barnes, Of st.
Louis. The title Of the work has been
criticised by the learned editor Of the
Houston Post. himself at once an elegant
writer and distinguished litterateur. He
claims that Il should be Descensus Averni.
We take issue with the critic on
this point and claim that the author Of the
work is correct. The title Of this volume
translated means descent into Avernus,
the which the plot sustains. Avernus was
lake in Italy famous for its poisonous
efiuvium. which ancient writers fancied

Late last evening the notorious colored

in the courts here so frequently, got into a
row with a fellow knight of the brush,
which resulted u atight. Crawford cut

piece Of thick glass, inflicting seri-

who gave his name as VIII
