nent among other cities OF the country, the
HERALD will be heard from. The city coun-
cil is not above criticism, ana us acts,
whether OF commission or omission, are
subject to the strictest scrutiny and COM
ment, as much so as are those OF congress-
or the state legislature, and the HERALD
would be recreant to its duties II 1t did not
point out its errors and endeav0r to correct
them. The people of Dallas favor improve
ments of ali kinds, and the city council
should not advance its biased opinions In
opposition TO the views Of the majority Of
citizens.

The principal business transacted Oh the
exchange to-day was the adoption OF the
plans for an exchange building to be erect
ed In this city. The structure will DO an
elegant one, and will reflect credit upon
the enterprising business men Of Dallas.
They will be proud of its appearance when
1t Is completed II will occupy the time OF
the architect, Mr.. Flanders, two weeks in
preparing the plans and specification 3,
when an advertisement for its construction
will be published.
The cotton factory Is making fair pro-
gress, and the gentlemen who feel the
deepest interest In its success are determin-
cd to work until the necessary stock is sub.
sCribed to begin its construction, TIE
gentlemen who have the matter In hand
will not become discouraged and abandon
the enterprise, If they have to fight it out ON
this line all summer. But from pres
ent appearances the whole amount
of stock will be subscribed for in a few
weeks at furthest, and just as soon as the
full quota Is obtained, the stock no doubt
will command premium in this city.
Every man who wants to invest his savings
In safe enterprise should not fail to take

affect the cost OF flour everywhere. The
