The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1884-11-14

The HERALD is profoundly grateful
to the Abilene Reporter for the following
very complimentary notice: "The Re
porter refers with pleasure to the pros
pectus of the Dallas HERALE for 1885.
The coming year is to be an eventful one
in tho history of the country, and every
citizen should have tho best state paper
with which to keep fully and reliably
informed of political and other current
history. CLEVELAND is to be inaugur-
ated; with some opposition probably,
but inaugurated nevertheless. A Dem
ocratic administration will rule at
Washington for the first time in twenty
five years, and its incoming is fraught
with interest, to especially southern
people. The Dallas HERALD is one OF
the leading papers of the southwest,
contains moro telegraphic news and is
superior to any other daily paper which
can reach the people of western Texas
on the day of publication, and the
weekly, made up Of the cream of The
news and editorials from the dailies,
has few superiors. The price of the
daily is $40 per year, or 81 per month;
while the large oight-page weekly
is furnished at the low price
OF Sl.5O per year. Tho HERALD
telegraph service during the campaign
was the most complete and correct, and
we believe, several hours later than
other dailies. We would like to see the
HERALD's subscription list increased in
this part Of the state, as it deserves to
be. 1t is interested in and has worked
for the development Of northwest Toxas.
In addition to other merits, the HERALD
is owned and paid for by its proprletors,
is conducted on safe business basis,
and subscribers will not be cut short
about the middle of their term by a sus-
pension OF the paper, as has lately been
the case and threatened in other in
stances"

But apart from the inherent stupidity
Of such menace, has not this same

paraded before the people through tho

decided to inaugurate a new policy and

INSULTING TO COMMON SENSE

. .
On Friday last when, the New York
Herald says, the election of CLEVELAND
was everywhere conceded by the most
prominent Republicans and journals of
the north the chilled BLAINE, at his
home in Augusta, made this announce
ment; 81 feel great pride that no impu-
cations Of fraud have ever been seriously
uttered against the members of the Re-
publican party in any state or district"
This reminds one of the great glutton
mentioned in ono Of SCprPs novels,who
said at "A board which he had swept of
all its viands: 81 have always had Il
good appetite So had my mother and
father before me, but thank God! |
never was accused of beng german
dizer."
This cool utterance of one against
whom the American people had Just
rendered tho fearful verdict of corrupt
and disgracelul living, is but another
pearl of the necklace of blunders which
adorns the throat of this bailled trick
ster. lie seems to seek in the erection
for himsolfof a monument of brass, that
remembrance which his countryInen

THE report of the commissioner of
pensions is interesting in some particu-
lars. There are still 1888 survivors Of
thewar of 1872 ON the rolls, and of wild
ows Of those who served in that war H.

their extreme age, must soon pass sdSay.
Since 1861 there have been 927, 922 claims
filed for pensions, Of which Ola, 1870 have
been allowed. 1t seems, in tho face of
the deaths that must annually occur
with pensioners, that the number on the
rollsis increasing annually, and it is
thought at the end of the year 1886 over
100000 applications will have been
hlod. No doubt many who arc now re-
ceiving pensions are not entitled to the
benefits, and thorough investigation
should be made to discover tho frauds
perpetrated in this department of the
government. The amount paid pen
sioners during the past year reaches the
large sum of $56,0OS,597, and of this sum

acre, and Florida the smallest, only lO5

agood average yield all over the couu-

duction barely remunerative to tho
