POINTED AND PIrHY.
TERRELL, June Is Editor HERALDl-
For about two weeks the reading pu0hc "
Texas have been annoyed by the rawlings o.
one A, j, Chambers, OF Fort Worth, re-
garding the recent location OF the branch
lunatic asylum at Terrell. Ii appears ina,
Mr.. Chambers wanted the asylum located
at Fort Worth, aud no doubt looked lor-
ward to its erection in that classic city a.
securing pleasant retreat to shelter him IN
after years.
| IfMr. A. J. Chambers has not heretofore
developed into crank, 1t was simply De-
cause of lack of opportunities. III the inter
views now edited to him ana going the
| rounds of the papers are correctly reported,
Mr.. Chambers is certainly a remarkable
genius. 1t appears from yesterdays issue oil
the Fort Worth Gazette, as well as from
an article in the Galveston News OF recent
date that Mr.. Chambers has made the
startling discovery that Terrell IS not IN
north Texas. He says that the east iork Oh
tho Trinity river is the eastern boundary oil
north Texas, and that everything east OIL
that stream is east Texas. This rule oil
course places Greenville, Rockwell, Bonham
and Paris in east Texas and leaves Sher-
man and Denison IN great doubt, but TINS
does not in any way Affect the logical mind
lof Mr.. A. j. Chambers. We are not able
to state when or how Mr.. Chambers diScov-
cred the rule that he enunclatts, put
rs the lawyers say, We assert the following
counter proposition, viz, everything west
of the west fork of Trinity river IS properly
western Texas, and therefore Fort Worth
is not in north Texas. In fact 1t has always
borne the reputation OF being frontier
town.
MIR. A. ]. Chambers also says-or rather
he insinuates without daring TO say
Dallas and Terrell corrupted or bull
dozedn the commission in their selection o.
location. II such was indeed the case
Mr.. Chambers owes it alike to his country
men and to his reputation TO bring FORWARD
the proofs, If such is not the case Mr.
Chamhe is not particularly deserving o
! the respect or consideration OF gentlemen
The apostle of Islander is in no respect
: better than the apostle ofdynamite.
Mr.. Chambers also says that there was Z
distinct implied agreement" in the leglsla
ture that Fort Worth should be selected, ant
that "every member OF the legislature un
, derstood it," If this is indeed the truth, why
, was a commission appointed to select, a
great cost of time and money, suitable 10
cation? Ii ii is not the truth why does MIR
A. j. Chambers, OF the city of Fort Wortl
and county OF Tarrant, put it IN circa'a
tion2 1t bears upon Its fac'
: the stamp of senseless falsltl
Mr.. Chambers also states that he woul.
have favored DR.. Wallace for superintend
ent of the asylum had it been located
the Fort. Are we to suppose by this tina
Mr.. Chambers is opposed to DIR. Wallace a
S superintendent with the asylum at Terrell
8 This would indeed be startling. None herr
ever dreamed of Governor Ireland presum
ing to appoint DR.. Wallace without frs
consulting Mr.. Chambers in the matter.
Governor Ireland has dared to make DR.
!, Wallace superintendent without first oh
/, tanning Mr.. Chambers consent in writing
he should be impeached and DR.. Wallace
crucified.
And Mr.. Frymier can never be stat
, treasurer! Well, Chambers, Frymie
doubtless knows it.. Well do we remembe
! hearing Frymier exclaim in the intens
: agony of stricken ambition, Alas III,
$ doom is sealed; have offended Chambers
+, Chambers of Fort Worth ~
j Finally we are told that the legislatur
$ will never appropriate any more money u
the asylum at Terrell. AS Chambers ha
always controlled legislative action in tn
past, and will doubtless always control 1t IL
: the future, we bow before the strength O
this crushing argument. Ten minutes 10
tears. TERRELL.
