"Seeing is believing" says the old
time remark, and when we assert that
wo have in Dallas the livest, most pros
porous, most rapidly growing and
promising city in Texas, we not only
mean what we say, but invite the special
attention of visitors and strangers to the
patent confederation of the statement
furnished by every quarter and street of
Dallas. Some thousands of guests are
in the city this week, coming from
every section of the southwest, and to
them we appeal as to tho truthfulness of
our claim to BIO in every desirable re.
spect the banner city OF Texas.

utilized both by the visitors in seeing
and comparing, and by the citizens in
showing what superior attractions We
have. Dallas fears no rivalry and courts
comparisons. Her light Is not hid under
bushel, nor are her size, growth and
commercial pre-eminence, tho fictions
of the creative genius other more imapI-
native citizens. She is not dependent
upon "blow' for her position, nor does
her greatness consist in ''wind."
Many features of this city at once sug-
gest themselves TO tho stranger the
most prominent of which is our size.
Dallas is much larger town than one

THE free grass advocates are trying to
discourage the man with the pillow and
hoe from going to the western counties
to seek homes, by falsely stating that
the only good lands there are leased to
cattlemen. Why don't they encourage
the settlement of the country by saying
to those desiring homes in Texas that
the leased lands are open to the actual
settler, and that there are millions of
acres of land, unsurpassed for agricul-
tural purposes, neither leased nor sold,
inviting the emigrant to come. Tell
them, also, that tho money derived from
the lease of the lands will DO expended
in educating all the children of the
State, and taxes for this purpose are
thus reduced.

MEN of Texas, listen a the truth and

Many of you who are in attendance at

and labored fo.s years to lay up an inher-
itance Tor Jour children, and perhaps to
TINS enc. have invested your savings in
land, You may die in few days or
ie'T months, entertaining the belief that
your children, some of whom it may be
are kneeling at their mothers knee or
are in their mothers lap, will receive
enough from those lands to educate and
fit them for any position in society, and
place them on an equality with the good
and intellectual people Of the land. But
party or faction has sprung up in
Texas, forming what they call "fre O.
grass" party, which in plain terms de-
mands that the grass on your lands
shall be given to the rich cattlemon free
of cost, and thereby depriving your
children of the benefits you in
tend they shall derive from
them. Many OF you or your patriotic
fathers, in their wisdom, at an
early day in the history Of Texas, SET
aside magnificent patrimony to the
children of the State, in their unoccu-
pied lands, for their education, poor and
rich alike, the grass on these lands arc
now worth TO the rich cattlemcn, at the
least, from twenty-five to fifty cents pen
acre per annum. The free-grass advo
Gates say, give these lands to the already
rich cattlemen, without any remuncra
, ton to the children, for their exclusive
use. This is free grass in nutshell
plain and unvarnished. Is it Just tc
you? just to the memory of y our noble
patriotic fathersY Is it not defraudinp
: your children out of their honest patri
mony, inherited from honored and hon.
est fathers? Think Of it, ponder it well
and then say if you do not hold in con.

petrate and perpetuate this great wrong
