TO FREE GRASS MEN.

NOW thaJ the Democratic party of the
State has repudiatod the free grass doe
trino and fixed the status of the party
on that subject, u few remarks to free
grass men who may entertain wrong
views on the question may not be out of
place. 1t was not free grass that caused
Dallas, Tarrant, or any other counties
IN this state to become thickly settled.
Immigration to Texas was not heavy
until after the advent of railroads. Had
the Texas IL Pacific road been pushed
no further west than Fort Worth. there
Il hardly IA town west of Woatherford
that would have had an existence, and
nearly the whole country would have
been in the possession of cattlemen,
When the country as far west as Wealth
eriord and beyond was first being occu-
pied by actual settlers the stockmcn
moved their herds further west, and i'm
doing so experienced little inconveni-
ence to themselves. But now the
whole country is being occupied
by actual settlers, stockmen are
coming from California and meet.
ing those from Middle Texas
the vacant lands are all occupied, and q
struggle has commenced between the
cattlemcn and actnal settlers as to who
shall own and possess tho lands. The
advocates of free grass desire to kecr
out actual settlers, while the lease law
gives the farmers and small stockmcr
protection.
This is tho truo condition OF
affairs in the cattle districts, and il mat
ters not how persistentiy the cattiomor
may contend for the occupancy of these
lands, the actual settlers will continu,
to arrive and purchase lands and oper
up farms, and the large herds of cattl,
will he contracted and become smaller
as tho country fills up with nm agricul
tural population. Nothing can stay tn,
advance of the man with the pillow an,
the hoe, no matter what laws the Leg, =
lature may pass. The lease law is on,
of the best laws ever placed upon tn,
statutes of Texas, both for the Western
countries and the whole State. II NAV

WAR IN THE CAMP.

1t is tho fate Of Il spells party that
when once the booty has been captured
the rogues almost invariably fall out
over its disposition and division. No
men on earth work so devotedly and
enthusiastically, not to say self-sacrifl-
cialy, together as crowd of crooks
bent on plumber. None of them ever
"squoal' until beaten out of n share of
the spoils by theit fellows. But the very
moment that one of them fancies that
the honor among thieves has been VIC
lated, that moment he plots to "give the
gang away"
This Is about the status among the
MALONE Republicans in Virginia.
There is war in the camp. Tho little ty-
rant who has been occupying as absolute
throne as the Car of Russia, has been
carrying his tyranny too far, and some of
his ablest licutenants are about to rebel.
MALONE insists upon appointing all the
committees in tho Rcadjuster- Repub-
lican organization and In putting i'm
new men and otherwise arrogating to
himself supreme and decided control of
the Virginia campaign both in the state
at large and Congressional and Legis-
tive districts. CAMERON, ex Congress.
man MAYO, JonN S. WISE and others OF
his biggest and boldest leaders are in
open revolt and though "Little Billee"
still holds the best cards, the throne has
been shaken.
Whom rogucs fall out honest men get
their dues, they say. Tho ovor-ridden
people, tho taxpayers OF the Old Do
minion and the country at large, will
hail this growing breach with satisfac-
ton. The last election came near fin
ishing the spoils hunters up there and
discord in their ranks now may be
looked upon rs certain not only TO give
the State TO CLEVELAND but to wind up
"for good" MAHoNE's tyrannical and
corrupt career in American politics.
Little Joker is tho bosi smoking to-
baveo.

THE very sensible paragraph below is
from the Cisco Telegraph. In this con-
nection it might be proper to say the
only report of another paper being
started in this city was special to the
HERALD stating that company was
talked of in Fort Worth to start a paper
in Dallas. The absurdty of capitalists
in Fort Worth contributing money.
necessary to start a paper here
was too palpable to be thought
of, and particularly so with the
experience before them of newspaper
enterprises in that city. Should another
paper be started here the HERALD would
welcome it, not "with bloody hands,"
but probably to a "hospitable grave"
The following is the paragraph referred
to: "There is some talk in Dallas about
starting another long felt want-a

number of men who think they are Just

QuorING from CLEvELNND's letter
that parties are the necessary out
growth Of our institutions; but a govern
ment is not by the people when one
party fastens its control upon the coun-
try and perpotuates its power, by caiol-
ing and botraying the people instead of
serving them," the New York Mail and
Express wants "somebody to explain
what is meant by the above confused
agsravation of unrelated particles of
speech" 1t is not ambiguous nor con
fused. 1t simply means that so long M

HosrILTlEs between France and
China have at last commenced in the
most emphatic manner. Some years
since some adventurous Frenchmen Mt.
tempted TO seize upon the rich trade OF
Tonquin and South China undor a
French charter. China has for centuries
exercised a sovereignty over Touquin
and Anam. The French trospassing
merchants and the natives becoming in.
volvcd, France sent her fleets and
armies, overran TonQuin, set up n new
King in Anam and demanded millions
OF indemnity from China because
Chinese forces resisted the French In
vasion. II was the career of free
bootcr on the part OF France from the
beginning. and her destruction of a Chi
nesc town now and murder of Chinese,
because the government Of the latter
would notpay the indemnity SO unjustly
demanded, is a high-handed outrage.

ONE of our West Texas exchanges Of
the sentimental way of looking at news
thinks the publication of the BLAINE
scandal only calculated to inire the
Democracy, but would not he surprised
hthe scandal was published at BLAINE's
instigation. This is far harder on
BLAINE than the scandal itself. 4 man
who would deliberately cause the publ
cation of such n story against his own
wife and children and honor would be
worse than n brute. And yet this Il tie
innocent in journalism thinks the publ
cation of the other story mot justified
by any considerations of public interest
or moral obligation" These sentimental
people have strange ideas of what Il Ia
