VIZ regret 10 note the fact that some OF
our citizens who subscribed to the fund
asked by the Texas & st. Louis Narrow
gauge road TO bring the branch from Mt.
Pleasant here, and whose notes are about TO
expire, by the failure of the company to
complete the branch in the stipulated time,
are maniiesting an unwillingness to renew
their notes and permit an extension of
time to the road, as asked by the latter.
We have repeatedly called attention to the
vast importance of this connection with the
narrow.gauge system to Dallas, aud it's now
almost an absolute necessity to us as n
competing line with the d-gauge roads
running into our city, all of which are I'M
der the same management, virtually, with
the exception of one line south. We are
astonished, therefore, that citizens, who, "A
year or two ago, were willing to contribute
for the purpose named should now seek
to avoid renewing their notes. This is
not the kind of enterprise that builds mp
cities, nor is it the kind of action

of Dallas, the very men most to be bene-
fitted, by Dallas growth and extensive rail
way connections. The necessity for this
branch, connecting us with the narrow
guage system of the state and country, is
greater now than when il was first discussed
among our citizens, aud we trust that all
obstacles will at once be removed for the
completion OF the line, by the speedy and
satisfactory compliance, on the part OF Dal-
las, with the terms and stipulations re-
qucstcd by the Texas Il 81. Louis Narrow
gauge management. The bonds promised
ought to be at once renewed. and upon the
most favorable terms to the company, 50
that Dallas can, as soon as possible, obtain
this important and much'needed connec-
tion. II we do not soon get it, we can rest
assured that some of our pushing rivals
around us will secure the branch aud pre-
sent far more convenient railroad connec-
tons than could we. This is no time for
proorastination.

TERRITORIAL.
EDIrORLAL CHICKERING'S.


Editors should be better read
and bred, and better equipped in
common sense than the majority Of
their readers, for the reason thai
they are educators. At least they
should be such, and if they arc
not they are occupying positions
which they are unqualified to fill,
and hence are worse than superfu-
GUS as social factors.
Editors should not be dogmatic.
1t is thor province and duty to re-
cord and discuss issues as they pre-
sent themselves and evolve their
true character.
Above all, editors have no IL
cense to assail the personal charac-
ter of any man. The public char
acter of public men is legitimate
food for editorial powder, but the
private character Of a citizen is too
sacred for printers ink to smear
over.
And again, the editor who habit
ually throws dirt and bclches slime
upon Il brother editor, disgraces his
position and calling. 1t is well and
proper enough, and not at all off
color tor editors to occasionally in
dulge in humorous illusions to each
other whore their humor does not
transcend the boundaries of wit
and become offensive. But the
people have no interest in the per
sonal quarrels which spring up be
tween editors, and the fighting Of
such out through their respective
columns is insulting to their pat

Our United States Senators.

Fair, of Nevada, is the richest
senator; Harris, of Tennessee, is
the poorest; Sherman, of Ohio, is
the leanest; David Davis, of Hi
nois, the latest; Butler, Of South
Carolina, the handsomest; McDill.
of Iowa, the ugliest; Malone, of
Virginia, the most heterodox; and
Mcmillan, of Minnesota, the most
orthodox; Senator Ingalls,, of Ran
sas, is the best debator; and Don
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, the
poorest debator; Van Wyck, of
Nebraska, the wittiest, and Nit
chell, of Pennsylvania, the Idullest;
Bayard the most scholarly, and
Plumb the least so; Morgan, of
Alabama, talks the most, and John
son, of Virginia, the least; Sauls-
bury, of Delaware, of the tallest,
and Sawyer the shortest; Edmunds
is the best lawyer; Davis, of West
Virginia, the best business man;
Logan, the most noted general,
and Frye, OF Maine, the most elo
quent orator.
The above has for some time
been gong the rounds of the press,
yet it is incorrect in several partic-
ulars that we know of.
First, Bayard is not the most
scholarly Senator, nor. is Plumb the
least so. Ingalls, is a more gifted
scholar than Bayard. Indeed there
are few men in or out of Congress
possessing so fine an education as
the long, thin, senior Senator from
Kansas. Plumb is more than or
equipped in point Of edu-
cation. For many years he was an
editor, and as such established IN
enyiable reputation. Then he be-
came a banker, in which business
he amassed fortune, and we sub
NIT that man without education
could not creditably or proftably
till either Of the mentioned posi-
tons. Sawyer, of Wisconsin, has
the least education Of any U. S. !
Senator of any of his fellows
When a member of the lower
House he had to employ an aman-
uensis to do his writing. He has
good horse sense, through which
he built up a large fortune in the
lumber business, but he never gar
nered an education.
If Van Wyck is witty, nobody
IN his State, or anybody but the
author Of the above screed ever
discovered it.
Sherman is not SO lean as Ingalls,,
,he difference being that the former
would make respectable sized tel
egraph pole, while the latter would
