DALLAS, March 31.-LasJ night the
First and Second Baptist churches of
the city harmonized the differences that
split them five years ag0, and made
two congregations Of the old First
Baptist church. A scene of much
religious enjoyment resulted. Mr.
Hayden, of the Baptist Herald, pub
lished in Dallas, received credit for
bringing about the happy termination
OF the trouble. AT Il injecting called
yesterday members from both church
es were present, and both seemed &C
tuated by desire for future peace
and its natural result, prosperity.
Mr.. Hayden, minister of the Sec
ond Baptist church, nominated
Mr.. Hanks of the First
Baptist church, as the minister for the
consolidated church, and he was unan-
imously elected. A new organization
was entered into, new articles of
faith and new rules Of decorum adop-
ted, and it was resolved the place of
worship should be at the old church,
and the congregation should be known

Are the people willing to be led by
this sort of people? Win patriotic
citizens confide the dearest interests
OF the state to the keeping of men who
have no higher motive behind their
actions or policies than that of selfish
gain Theselpe pie and papers need de.
cleve no one,or rather no one need be
deceived by them. They are adopts in
the use of epithets, and whenever YOU
find papers hurting such terms as
mossbackism, Bourbonism and old
fogyism at party men for adherinp
to the rules and principles of the party.
tried alike by time and events, YOU
may be dead sure that they belong to
these semi traitors, these traders in the
good name of the party. Had there
been none of these men at the surface
OF Texas at this time there had
not been a single word uttered
against the two-thirds rule this sea-
son. This racket is raised only that
some Wash Jones, Robertson or Och
lltree democrat p may have chance
at the honors to be dispensed by the
convention. Does the democracy pant
with the very excess of its ardor to
crown Wash Jones, Gen. Robertson and
Fom Ochlltree with laurels +? We do
not think so, and yet that's just what
'he abrogation of the two
thirds rule is designed to
Effect. That is the grayamen
If the News screed for abrogation.
Now, aside from the grave principle
involved, THE STATESMAN would see
The selfish trafficking spirit repressed.
md we are strong in the faith that
he coming state convention will "sit
lown on" the enterprise with an en-
'hasis which will astonish that paper
nd its lesser and weaker imitators.
The masses of the party are safe and
ure; 1t Is only the unfaithfuI and I'M
rank who are to be watched.

The EXPRESS and Statesman.

From the Houston Evening Age.
The San Antonio Express! and Aus
tin Statesman are both friendly to
General David S. Stanley, and are re-
joiced at his promotion to full brig
adiership. The Express likes him, on
general principles, and because of his
general merits. Barlow of the States
man likes him because he and Stanley
fought each other in opposing lines of
battle during the late war. Barlow is
like Pauline's Uncle, in the play. He
loves any man that will fight him.

Poor Cincinnati. Will this out
break serve to teach the government
that communism is indeed an active
force in our midst, and induce it to
provide against other and more dis
astrous mob outbreaks. If so, then
although dearly bought, the lesson
will be a valuable one.
