dies who has been not only a long resi-
dent, hut tho whole tlmo hOnorahiy and
usenlly connected with its growth, its
rcvorsea and It's prosperity-ogor main
tainlng unsullied tho attributes of a
true aud n pure manhood-thc whole
people mourn.
To Dallas JOHN w. SwiSDELLs was
endoarod by these, and those other So
cial tics which bind heart To heart. In
capable of duplicity or malice, his heart
pulsatlng In kindness 10 all his fellows,
his nature aud daily walk for
nearly third OF century
in this town won and retained tho con-
iidence, respect and affection OF this
people, and thoy will remain IA monu
men,s to hrs worth la each breast 50
long IA his compoers remain.
Mr.. SwISDELLs was born in the
north, but partly raised In Norfolk, Nir-
glnia. lie was 4 thorough practical
printer, and came to this frontier village
| in 1898, and became associated with the
lamonted LATiNER in tho publication
Of the Dallas HERALn, then but about
hrne years D. on tho death OF, his
senior, he became the publisher and
editor of the paper, nd so remained,
with occasional association with others,
until some few years ago. In that re!a-
ton his labor and influence was ever on
tho side of private, public and
political virtue. Lang tho only paper
| in n large area OF the state, no made the
HERALD welcome guest at every vir-
tuous fireside. Its guiding star was the
public good. Conservative by nature,
his kindness of heart-his tender re-
gard for the feelings Of others-some-
times bordered on timidity, but his de-
yotion TO truth and light ever stood
forth as polar star in guiding his con-
duct. Ere long resident here, he mar
ried daughter Of the worthy old pio-
neer, THOMAS F. CRUTCHFIELD, now
| long deceased and reared several child
rem to comfort and bless him and his
surviving widow. Feeble health and
pecuniary reyerses some four or
I'VE years ago caused his re-
moval to Austin, whore he has
since been connected with tho de-
partments OF tho government in cler-
ical capacities. The Immediate cause of
his death, as stated in tho dispatches,
was surgical operation, but exactly
what we are unadvised.

A SIGNIFICANT REVOLT.

All Irish America up east is agitated
over the resignation of Thomas AINGE
DLvYn as FIRST assistant editor Of the
"Iish World"
P,rKICK FORD the editor was accused
sometime since Of selling out to BLAINN
but many good Irishmen secuted the
idea and declared that the "World' was
a. OF Old fighting an honest battle for
Ireland.
on the staff OF the "World" " as Mr..
Il. A. DEVYR,as first assistant editor. He
was one Of its chiefest and ablest con
tri1atJrs, and perhaps had more To say,
from day to day, than Mr.. FoRD or any
other man on the paper. But Mr..
DAvYR was and is man of principle,
and the "Irish Worlds" support OF
BLAINE was mystery to him. Being
Oh the inside OF the office Mr.. DEvYR
was in position to learn the true in
wardness of the "World's' support OF
BLAINE, and he came finally to the con
clusiou that Mr.. FORD had actually and
openly sold the "World" to Mr.. BLAINE.
Upon the discovery Of this fact, as an
honest man he resigned his position
upon the "Irish World"
He has published long and most COM
plete and satisfactory expose of his
reasons for resigning his position and
the disclosure places BLAINE and FORD
in the most contemplate light. In this
publication is the following statement
from representative Irishmen. of Brook
lyn, relative to FoRD's treachery: "BEN-
EDICT ARNOLD was not more false to his
country than you have been to the cause
of industrial liberty, and in its name we
protest against the prostitution of the
Irish World to the base uses OF the ring
Of monopolists who control the Republic
can party.
Will the honest Irishmen Of the coun-
try stand this2 VIII they allow their
representative organ to DO sold out to
the Infamous BLAINE crowd, or will
they follow the bold and manly exam
ple of an Irishman of principle and re-
pudiate the whole bargain and stand, as
of old, by theDemocracy, honest govern
mont, patriotism, decency, and the poor
mans interests in contradistinction to
the rich?
This is the simple problem presented
to Irish America, and Mr.. DEvYR's
course and revolt cannot but prove an
important factor in its solution.

THE CHANGE IN THE NORTH.

The registration in the varions north
ern states indicates a great change III
the sum total of the votes up there. In
New York, New Jersey, Connecticutand
indeed many other states the registered
vote at present is far larger than in any
previous campaign. Results must be
expected from this increased vote and
the question is constantly asked us
"what will the result be?"
1t is an open secret that in the south,
the great majority OF the people are
Democratic. 1t CANNOT be disputed that
in the north the same is true Of the Re
publican party. The south rs whole
is Democratic and ~ u whole the north
can be put down as Republican. II the
south should show = LARGELY increased
vote it might be expected that the major
portion Of that vote would be given to
the Democracy.
So IN the north anu on &c same
reasons.
Sons OF Republican may 20 Sle,ted
to vote the Republican ticker, bnt in
this campaign is large number OF Re-
publicans in the north who will not sup
port BLAINE. 1t may be confidently
counted on that the sons OF thesa Re-
publicans will not vote for BLAINE.
In the presence, therefore, OF an in
creased Republican vote, is the further
fact that the young men who are voting
or the first time will follow the iaie-
pendent movement OF their fathers and
throw their first vote for CLEVELAND
and HENDgIcKs,
The result is, thereforH. most epcoar-
aging! An enlarged registration b the
north is met by the increased audl eu-
phatic independent VOTE up there, and

several occasions during the canvass
