his time and money at card tables; he does
not encourage card playing; he drinks

In the Chicago convention for the state at

DALLAS.
He who supposes that Dallas, because che
Is less vociierous In blowing her own horn
than some other cities, n laggard In enter
prise or has reached her full stature, 10
simply deceived. No city in Texas Ia
making more rap id strides In material ad-
and 1t Is questionable whether
any one OF her noble rivels ore keeping
pace with her. She is now enjoying
building boom .hat far surpasses any for
mer season, and her presently Is 30 well
assured that her capitalists have
no fear OF building beyond the demand for
stores and residences. Nearly 100 bust.
ness houses are in building, all OF brick or
stone, whilc the number Of residences be-
ing erected more than doubles that figure. |
The aggregate cost OF the work In progress
foots up over q million dollars. Her rail-
road facilities are extensive, and her trade |
Is immense, but the former are considered |
inadequate TO the continual growth OF the |
latter, and 10 due time she Will ntretch |
forth additional iron arms to accommodate |
other thrifty sections. She Is already q
great city, and her ambitious neighbor |
has yet q long. hard struggle |
for the mastery. Fort Worth Is perhaps
more vigorous In her enterprise when she |
moves, but Dallas GOES quietly along, and |
her progress is steady, sure and Substantial. |
These remarks are based on personal obser- |
walton, and the hundred journalists who at |
tended the press convention there last |
week will doubtless endorse what is |
written. 1t Is hardly worth while to |
speak of the intelligence. culture aud |
hospitality OF the people OF Dallas.
for these are proverbial. The press gang |
was certainly entertained In Q manner TO |
justify the highest estimate OF the city's so. |
cial virtues, and the most gracious acknovl. |
edgement OF her generous hospitality. Her |
citizens. collectively and individually, |
were warm.hesrted In their atten- |
tions and liberal In their courtesies. but |
ant gush AIRED the propneties or marred
the dignity Of their entertainment. The
best they had Was given without stint, and
the guests were made TO feel that they were
among friends who valued their calling and |
knew their power. Refreshments, hotels,
hall, banquet, carriages, etc., etc., ali were
rendered without price and enjoyed with
,ut os.entation or excess: but that which
vas moot appreciated was contact with
warm hearts and the social welcome, May
he beautiful city continue 10 grow and
prosper, and may all her coming genera
ions Of men and women emulate the vir-
use OF her present population. Austin
