III mas been industriously circulated bv
Il lew journals whose hostility to Dallas

scarcely worth while to notice such SUI

of the HERALD has been directed IN

OFFICIAL AND TRUSTEES SALE

OFFICIAL AND TRUSTEES SALE
Among the questions for considera-
ton by the next legislature the HERALD
would suggest the propriety of revis-
ION OF the law pertaining to the adver-
tisement of property to be sold, either
by the officers OF the law under execu-
ton or by trustees in their judiciary ca
paelty' This law was proposed to be
amended by The last legislature, but tile
bill was unfortunately drafted and did
not receive the support it would other
wise have commanded.
Under the present system, when land
is to be sold for the purposes above
named, it is only necessary to stick I'M
the notice of sale in three public places
--ono to be at the courthouse door. II
does not specify which door, and the
plan generally adopted is TO put them
on bulletin board which is so plastercd
over with such Instruments tina! but few
ever read them The other two public
places may be old trees at cross rOads.
the door:iamb Of grocery or any other
place which the official may consider
public.
BY this method IN absence of bidders
is secured and property very often sac
riiiced. This is especially hurtful in n
state whore there is no appraisement be-
fore sale and requirement that the
property should bring certain fraction
al part of its appraisement. AS there is
~ equity of redemption, a sale generally
amounts TO sacrifice.
If, however, it was required that sale
should be published in q newspaper of
the county, if it has one, and editorial
notice called to it upon the first inser-
ton, Its publicity would be com
plete, whilst the expense would very
little exceed the present awkward
and unjust notices of exposure.
Tor sale. 1t is not necessary that anv
particular class Of paper be mentioned
as to the amount of circulation, etc., but
let the whole matter be left, so far as the
selection ofthe paper goes, to the county
commissioners. BY this means all who
desired to purchase would be notified of
the sale, and the competition incident to
a number of bidders would tend to Sc.
cure to the party whose property is sold
something approximating its actual
value. AS it is now the body of bidders
consists only of the few sharps who are
watching out for "soft snaps" in the
way of getting valuable property for a
grossly inadequate consideration,

MILLER IL Lux are cattle firm. They
are rated as being worth $40, 100000. They
own vast herds of cattle and sheep and
their income is immense. MR. LUX was
lately interviewed, and for pure unadul-
terated cheek, If he is correctly reported,
he is entitled to the blue ribbon. He
said: 1.-THE smaller holders would fence
securely against stock, we would grazo
at less expense and they could have
cheaper meat, but you can't make a
near-sighted man see long distance
he must pay for his spectacles." Now
what do the free grass men think of this
free grass advocate? He wants poor
men with small aocks and herds to be
compelled to fence their lands, aud the
bullionaires--the men with millions-to
be permitted to occupy lanfs without
fencing, in order that meat might be
cheaper. it also carries with it the idea
that farmers must fence against the
encroachmontso of the stock owned bv
cattle kings and syndicatos. Is this the
free grass doctrine men out west hold to.
when they assert they are favoring the
actual settler.
