DALLAS, January 25.-ln this mornings
HERALp appears communication in reply
to another which was published last Tues
day. The Importance of street improve
mcnts Is of too much weight to indulge in
personalities and witticsms. The questions
oi paramount Importance to be considered
are: what will these necessary improvements
cost, and of what material should they be
constructed. There is not an individual in
this city, who has its material interests in
view, but agrees that some means should be
adopted to better the condition of our
streets and sidewalks, and TO accomplish
these ends will require the best engineering
and business talent of Dallas. There are
some reasons given why they should not be
undertaken at this time, and among the
most cogent is that few persons arc finan-
oially unable to bear the expense now, The
question naturally presents itself, when
will they be In condition to incur the tax,
aud should the material interests of our city
be retarded by the fact that o few would be
put TO muck Inconvenience in meeting an
expense which always attaches TO growing
city, The plain truth is Just this, We have too
long delayed In this matter, and the time
has como when the citizens are beginning
TO feel that our City Council are not always
lcgislating for the best interests OF Dallas,
but are wasting their valuable time In pass
ing ordinances which are of no benefit to
tse substantial business wants OF Dallas,
aud which have long since ceased to be con.
sidercd worthy OF much attention In older
and more experienced localities. A cen.
tinued agitation Of the question Of street
improvements, combined with perseverance
on the part OF those who feel that they are
Of paramount importance 10 all other mat.
tcrs Of legislation brought before the City
Council. will triumph In the end, and Dal-
las will experience the benefit and thrift
that always follow accomplished business
requirements and convenienccs TO the PEG
! pie generally.

careful estimate of the acreage sowSd
to wheat in West Tennessee places the ar yS
at fully 10 per cent. greater than the breadth
of land given to the production of this cereal
in 1881.
A London Times correspondent reports
thatit is reckoncd that on December d
1881, there were 10000 qrs. or l2,OOO.OO0
bu ofall kinds of grain at Odessa ready for
expectation, and another 10000 bu. al
other ports of the Black and Azov seas.
Shipments of grain from South and North
Russia are now at an end, except at Odessa
and Sebastopol. They have been rather
larger than in 1880, but have not come M
to expectations. The quantity on passage
from South Russia isnow $50, 600 qrs. wheat
against 10000 qrs, year ago.
The stock of Hour in Boston is reported
at 100000 barrels, against 1875, 600 barrels one
year ago.
In Chicago February wheat declined since
yesterday nearly one cent. 1t opened at
l.3l5 and closed at 134s. The last sales the
day before were at 1.S5l. Corn opened at
81, and closed at 6ll, three-lourths OF cent
above the day before.

OF l5,l The exports TO Great Britain
were 43,5ll; Continent, 1898; France 1902;
Channel ports, none. The stock ON hand
was ] ,l6i 800.
The Boston Advertiser says: The cotton
movement presents several anomalies when
compares with last year. 1t is quite GER
tam that the crop is not so abundant this
year as it was in $780, yet receipts are so far
but 81, 772 bales short, while exports are
4i4, 2S7 short. The stock at all ports of this
country has increased 223, 33l bales: in the
mar ets of the interior 43,l72 bales. TT e
stock ailoat for Great Britain shows a
diminution of l62, 900 bales All this seems
to Justify the inference that the total reduc-
ton OF the crop has probably been over
rated and that the mills both here and in
Europe have no difficulty in obtaining what
cotton they need. Prices have nevertheless
advanced. As the larger part of the har-
vest goes to Europe, and as large amounts
are yet to be sent, considerable amounts of
money will yet be realized in Liverpool for
American accounts, whether prices rise or
fall. If cotton prices depend exclusively on
the supply and demand, they ought not to
be very high.
The cotton men OF Little Rock have Or
ganized a scheme that sakes well there. 1t
is said that persons from all around that
part OF the State are sending on their little
ilve dollars and making their guesses They
are advertising it in tie papers, and it is
thought at least thousand persons will
enter for the prize. Why don't our Dallas
boys get up something.of the same kind.
There are as many men to the square foot
in Dallas county think they know all about
the cotton yield of the present season as
can be found in any other city in the Uni
ted States. Give the boys a chance. The
scheme is thus explained by the Gazette of
that city:
The object OF the pool is to give any one
an opportunity to make an estimate on the
cotton crop of lSSl-s2, and for this privi-
leege 1t is necessary to pay IS, which goes to
the general pool. When the crop figures
are made up in September, the one
who has made the nearest guess TO
the amount of the crop gets the en-
tire pool after the deduction of expen
SEES, which will be 12l per cent for printing,
clerical work and postage. That is, if
there were lOOguesses in the pool the winner
would be entitled to $500 less 12i per cent,
or $3.50.

Political Notes.

Mr.. Ladd having stated in card that he
voted against the river and harbor bill, the
Bangor Wing goes over the record of pro-
ceedings on the bill from first to last and
proves by the record that Mr.. Ladd's state
ment is false.
We know that the so-called ''iudependent
republican party" is "independent'' and is
republican" because its organ, taking the
same name, issues from the Bangor CONNER
cal Office in large numbers, and Mr.. "Bill'
King, a notorious fusion fugler goes about
the streets distributing them. We did not
suppose that anything even bearing the name
republican could be so prostituted As that, but
if the fusionists will steal good name to
serve satan in, why we can't help it. - Ban

Democratic Campaign Fund.
MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS UywH-
LING TO CONTRIBUTE FOR A LOSING
FIGHT.

The Boston Traveller says: "Massa-
chusetts democrats have been invited 10
contribute 10 the campaign fund Of the
fusionists In Maine. but it is not believed
that they have been very liberal of their
giving. There is no probability that the
holding back is due to the fact that the
fusion ticket is made up so largely OF
greenbackers, and the explanation that
they doubt the soundness of the invest
ment is more certainly plausible one.
The republican leaders are greatly en-.
couraged by the present aspect of the can
vass. The republican meetings have been
large, with manifestations of marked in
terest, and the figures of the canvass show
the quiet work of the campaign has been
effectively carried on. An old-iashioned
republican victory on Monday next is now
looked for"

Good Work In machias.

Herbert N. Heath, EGG. Of Augusta. and
Col. Arson S. Wood, Of New ork, addressed
the citizens Of this place on Tuesday evening
last At Libby Hall. Mr.. Heath confined his
remarks to State issues. in the course OF
which he touched upon the great grievances
of Gov. Plaisted with his Council, and being
q resident of the city wherein these alleged
indignities were heaped upon the great am,
and knowing whereof he spoke, clear
Iy and forcibly portrayed the by
pocriticaI and dishonest manGuvres OF
the Governor in the discharge Of his
official duties. The more this subject
is discussed and the greater the light thrown
upon it the more heinous do the plotting
misdeeds Of this conniving Governor appear
10 the people. Harris NJ. Plaisted has,
during the year and half that he has been
Governor of Maine. clearly and unmistak-
ably demonstrated that he is unworthy the
position he holds. The people have already
had quite enough of Plaistedism- The YER
dict that will be rendered on the llth inst,
that he step down and out, will be just one:
Mr.. Wood is an earnest, eloquent and
talented man. He spoke on national topics,
and his address was instructive and interest
ing. His appeal to young men was eloquent,
and replete with good advice.-Aaehids Re

Representatives In Congress.
HE NECESSITY TO THE INTERESTS OF
MAINE OF ELECTING CONGRESSMAN IN
FAVOR OF PROTECTION.

The Tribune in an article upon the
Maine election calls the attention of man.
ufacturers and others to the importance of
electing republican members of Congress ::
ut would be strange indeed if the peo-
pie OF Maine should send to represent
them at Washington four associates of the
Free-Trade democracy. As respects some
other phases of the tariff question. man
can hardly know wha, the democratic
party would do if it had the power, but
upon the matters that chiefly affect the in
dustries and the prosperity of Maine there
is no room to doubt what it would do.
Four members Of Congress, helping that
party to elect democratic Speaker. might
have power TO turn the scale, and thus to
insure. without further direct aid of their
own, action in the last degree hostile to
interests Of Maine. Not without reason
have the people OF that State for many
years chosen republicans to represent them
in Congress, with few exceptions. and
now. when every vote will count in the
election of four members, their majority
ought to be so large as to make dispute
impossible"

THE STORY OF A BLUNDER.
The Impracticability of Running Two
Trains IN Opposite Directions on One
Track is Tragically Demonstrated.

HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. ).
At 6 80 tonight peach train on the New
York & New England road bound for Boston
collided with the west bound freight train at
Burnside station, about four miles east of
this city. Both engines were badly damaged
and Walter +. Bean. of this city, engineer
on the freight. an old engineer, was seriously
injured. 1t is thought his back is broken
and his recovery is doubtful. Three peach
cars were thrown off and wrecked. Three
merchandise cars of the other train were also
derailed and badly damaged. 1t is stated
that the conductors of both trains say they
were running under orders, and the accident
is therefore believed to be caused by the
train dispatcher's error. The conductor
of the west bound train, it is reported, says
he had orders to run to East Hartford, the
next station west of Burnside, and pass the
passenger train there. 1t is reported also
that the conductor of the peach train claims
that he had the right of way. Inquiry at the
railway office in this city fails to settle this
point

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 5.
The nineteenth exhibition of the New
England Agricultural Society. held for the
fourth time on the grounds of the Worcester
society, was formally opened this morning.
Secretary Hon. Daniel Needham. Hon. Geo.
B. Loring. president, was absent West. The
customary address was therefore made
by Mr.. Needham. The attendance is small and
the entries in nearly all the classes are much
below the average. Poultry is an exception,
last years display being doubled. The
quality of farm produce is noticeably affected
by the dryness of the season.
In horses and cattle all the New England
States are represented, except Rhode Island,
though not to as large an extend as in previ-
Gus years. The programme for the week is
much the same as that of previous years.
Thursday is Governors day. President Ar
thur may be present. The feature of today
is the bicycle meeting, in which about 300
wheelmen participate.
The secretary furnishes the following
summary of entries Short Horns, e.; De-

When my friends contributed money to

Republican money" by the men who tried
TO buy me- want to say Q word right here
on my own hook-any body's money is good
enough for Them Steers-only one condition
that the paper is paid for in advnnce.
When Them Steers had got fairly settled
into an even yoke, was approached by
leading fusionists to accept place on the
fusion ticket as candidate for Congress.
Richard Frye of Bethel member of the fu-
sion State committee, wrote me a very
friendly letter. stating that he favored my
nomination for Congress. To all such let
tiers, replied could not be fusion candi-
date. The men who said had sold out to
republican party were the very men who
were eager to nominate ME for Congress.
I went along with my work without es-
pecial incident until the time for our State
convention. On my way TO Bangor to at
tend the convention, l wa approached dy
John Todd of Portland, who said he wanted
me to support Governor Piaisted, if could
conscientiously. He did not want me to sup
port Governor Plaisted if 1 could not con-
scientiously. John Todd said to me on the
18th day of May, 1882, on the train from
Auburn to Bangor, that if l could conscien-
tiously support Governor Plaisted l could
have $1,000, and there was a man on the
train who would pay ME $3.50 down. l said
to John Todd that could not conscientious
ly support Governor Plaisted. John Todd
was not then satisfied about my con-
science. He came into our conference in
the evening at the Franklin House and asked
me to see Governor Plaisted. replied to
John Todd that l was busy. The next day
at the convention Governor Plaisted's friends
were urging Congressional ticket with my
name at the head.
Since l came out before the country OPP
posed to fusion in every spot and place. the
fusionist first tried to persuade me, then to
buy me and then to bulldoze men, and now
they have tried to betrav me.

hackers and Democrats.

LAKE MARANOCOOK, Sept. 5.
The fusionists have an excellent day for
their grand political rally. Trains are ar
irving from all sections of the State. Can
mons are fred on the arrival of each train,
also at noon and upon the departure of trains.
Bands are upon the grounds from Gardiner,
Brunswick, Lewiston, Portland, Waterville,
and other places. Selections by Glover's
Band and Lewiston City Band were performed
in an excellent manner. Hon. ID. II. Thing
is president of the day. The speaking was
by Hon. A. p. Tanner of Connecticut, +.
Moody Boynton of Massachusetts, Gilbert
De La Matyr of Indiana, Joseph Dane, 7.
H. Murch, G. w. Ladd and Gov. Plaisted.
About 10000 people are present. Gov.
Plaisted professed that his nomination was
unsought, and that it was spontaneous call
from the entire people. He had expended
no money in the campaign, not so much as a
postage stamp. His talk was principally in
defence of his course against the Council in
removing officials, and attacking Blaine's
speech and letters of the Council in favor of
their course. Hon. Joseph Dane spoke for
a short time defending Gov. Plaisted upon
his war record. The speaking at the main
stand was concluded by Hon. L. Chittenden
of New York. L. Moody Boynton was the
first speaker. His talk was principally about
how he would fix the fiints'' of the republi-
cans. One gentleman said, after hearing his
talk, that he had been a lifelong democrat,
but that he should vote for ROBBIE. Pillsbu. y
spoke at great length. The burden of his
harangue was abuse of Blaine. In all the
speeches that were made there was not a
word to say in support of their own party,
but bitter denunciations of the republicans.
1t is estimated that there were about half as
many present as at the great republican mass
meeting here last week.

HENRY NUTTEK.

The officers and stockholders of National banks
have pecunary interest in maintaining the suprem
acy Of the republican party so that they may con-
tnue to divide the profits arising from issuing paper
money instead of saving 1t to the people by having II
issued by the government.-From Eben +. Pulls
bury's speech at Portland.
Is Mr.. Dane, President Of the Kennebunk
National Bank and fusion candidate for Con-
gress, in favor of maintaining the suprema-
cy of the republican party?' Is Darius
Alden, President of the Granite National
Bank of Augusta, and chief supporter of
Daniel II. Thing, also favorable to the sue
cess of the republican party? Or is Pillsbury,
being q citizen of Massachusetts, ignorant
that the name of one bank President is upon
the fusion ticket, and another has mortgage
upon Mr. Thing?
