rAE suNpAYLAW.

Dallas has Mcst liberal and c,onvs.
nient Sunday law. 1t is questionable
IL is q regulation that would
hold good in the higher courts, but by
consent between municipal
and county authorities it is allowed to
operate here and to the great convent
snce, and, so tar as the HERALD knows,
universal satisfaction of the city. This
law closes everything, theoretically, air
tight at 0 a. M, and keeps everything in
that condition until p. m. Ample
time and opportunity are afforded In the
morning for the purchase of the days
supplies, ice, meat, vegetables, and even
the rejuvenating matutinal cocktail,
while bathrooms and barber shops are
open long enough to clean man up for
his Sabbath devotions.
But this liberal provision has been en-.
croaohed upon and the hospitable latch
string has always hung out of the back
door from rosy morn till dewy eve. The
Sunday law, meant wisely to consult
both tho city's convenience and its reli.
gious sentiment, has been violated, and
those who were given an inch have
| taken an ell. 1t is now determined
once more 10 enforce this law, and the
fiat went forth yesterday that it must b,
universally and religiously observed il
this city, 80 that, in fact al
in theory, it Will be SUNDAY
In Dallas from 9 q. m. until 4 p. NJ
1t is not good policy, aside from tn,
annoyance it works, to seal Theoretically
a city ike Dallas from midnight Satur
day night to midnight Sunday night
The city is too large, its wants to-
many, and the climate such that pur
chases made one day would be practi
cally worthless for the next. Sucl
illiEerality, too, could only result in al
evasion of the law on all sides, bu
Sunday should DO respected end tn
church-going hours observed generally
This law of Dallas meets all tho require
ments in wise, practical and liberia
manner, and ought to DO strictly on
forced. The saloonists, markets, ice
men, fruit venders, and, indeed, 81
others are anxious for its enforcement,
and two or three greedy men ought no
to be permitted TO violate it to the in
jury OF those who honestly desire to OK
serve IL.
Let there DO equiet and sacred, uu
violated Sabbath in Dallas from 8 a. n
to 4p. IN. every seventh day and al
classes Of the citizens will be more tha
satisfied. one thing is certain, Dalla
county has a conscientious, fearless
able and lynx-eyed county attorney
and if this municipal law, so satisfaC
tory TO all, is not strictly observed tn
rigid state Law will DO oniorcad, and il
a manner TO produce the utmost con
fusion, Inconvenience and, possibly
acute distress in the city.

VICTOR HUGO

At one time, not many years ago, the
death of VICTOR HUGO would have Gre
ated profound excitement and produced
possibly political complications In
France, but now it only arouses genu-
inc regret among all classes for tho loss
of a great, good man. He had passed
from the sphere Of active life and had
become reminiscence. His name re-
calls "CRoMwELL,' MARION DELoRME,"
"NoTRE DAME" Giles MIsERABLEs,"
and "LEs FENILLEs ~ ANToMNE," but
1t latterly carried no other power than
the force that, once potent, is remem-
bered only for the results of another
and earlier time.
VICTOR MARIE HUso was born as far
back AZ 1902, and was consequently over
So years of age. In the very nature of
things death might have been daily ex-
pected. And yet heart disease, rather
than old age, carried him away. His
father was an officer under NAPOLEON
and his mother staunch Royalist, but
he became in after life fierce Ropubli-
can. A vicount and peer of France
at one time, he became abnormally in.
terested, in and the friend of the poor.
There was even strong faint of Social
ism in his latter days views of life and
politics.
VICTOR HUGO was PROFESSIONALLY a
great man. He was great in fiction, in
poetry, as an orator, but with him it
was rather talent than genius. At one
time he was regarded as tho greatest
poet of France, and some of his moro
pretentious lyrics arc truly magnificent.
A well known critic said of him: ellis
imagination is his talent, His poems lack
the moving warmth of full heart. His
dramas lack the magical presence of
h complete Characterization. His TO.
mances are like turbulent seas, formless
expanses of colossal forms. And vet in
all his writings, even the latest and
weakest he gives pictures of nature in
uproar aud man in passion, which do
light by their truth as much as they as
tonish by their grandeur"
Itcannot be said that either literature
or politics has lost by his death, for age
and great infirmity had long since re-
moved him from the active sphere OF
both politics and literature, but the
world has lost philantropist and
France parted with another of her most
h.. =.
that universal sorrow and regret which
are invariably excited by the destruc-
ton Of venerated landmark or the
fall OF temple beautiful aud admired
in youth, which has been compelled to
suooumb at last and in age to the cor
roding influences OF time and stormy
weather. "Qu'il 10 resto."

A REPRESENTATIVE of the HERALD,
who has been travelling lately over the
proposed route Of the Northwestern
road, says that about mile or two irom
Decatur you strike Oliver creek, wher CO
tho road would run over q level befl to
no grading of any account from there to
Grapevine. From the latter place to
Dallas there are light grades. Twelve
miles from Decatur the road would
strike Bridgeport, where the coal field !

and thicker vein than is often pro eta.

is probably underestimated as the
HERALD representative could he ar of il
| at no place LEGS than about 25 Inches
and from that to IS. Col. Cha. RLEs D.
Gates owns 1000 acres of this coal land
and the vein is from % to so feet dowr
below the surface OF the ground. CAPT
SIcKLEs, of Dallas, has alto some SOt
acres of the same kind OF land, where
the depth Of the vein is dipped to per
haps l25 to $50 feet below the surface. Tht
enLire vein has the great deslderatum o
slate roofing. The quality OF the min
eral is said to be superior to that of thu
McAEister coal in tho Indisn territory
and the country arodnd is unsurpass
able as an agricultural region. There il
enough coal to supply the factories o
New England, and the result to Dalla
by virtue of their being worked and TIN
mineral tumb!ed into her lap 10 simply
beyond speculation.

Some nOn-residents are surprised at

comptroller for an explanation, He ia
informed that the tax III 1888 was 30

THE stockholders and bond h olders of
the Narrow-Gauge Texas & St. Louis
railroad have sued out an injunction
against tho sale Of that road In August.
They allege that no default was made
in the payment Of their interest, but
that the foreclosure was made to effect
the sale Of the road in depressed times,
80 that II would DO sold at great sacrl-
flee. Whilst it is true that the decree
for sale had 10 be granted, yet 1t is also
true that equity had very extended jurls-
diction over questions OF this kind, and
will protect stockholders from the
harsh treatment Of creditors, provided
that suilicloncy of assets DO shown,
and no desire ON the part Of the debtors
TO avoid their responsibilities or the liza.
bility of the property for the debt.

TIE action of Mr.. GLADSTONE in the
house OF commons in giving notice that
he would introduce land purchase bill
is not appreciated by the people for
whom 1t was intended as a sedative, and
rome will be until the unrestricted right
Of purchase is acknowledged. Herein
lies the bottom trouble of Anglo. Irish
trouble. No civilized nation can claim
by right of conquest the proprietorship
of individual land owners. The Ger
mans did not claim such right, although
they had, ut the close of the war, Paris in
their possession. Yet the English not
only hold the soil of Ireland in great
measure, but have guarded the avenues
of approach TO its purchase so iealously
that 1t seems impossible TO shake off
British iendlordism. "Giye the Irish
people o chance to own their own soil
by purchase" is what they demand, and
fair chance at that. A just world
sympathizes with them in their patri-
otto desire, whilst they condemn tho
very unfortunate methods they adopt
for enforcing their rights. Even Russia,
when NICHOLAS confscated so heavy a
portion of his possessions after the
Crimean war, released the proprietor
ship of the lands sequestrated upon
payment Of very small interest for q
number of years, giving the original
owners the right to occupy. English
arrogance must succumb to modern
ideas of equity and republican notions
about right.

THE Decatur Tribune has not been
very enthusiastic on the Northwestern
road, but only because it did not sup
pose it could be built without foreign
aid and that such assistance could not
be had because of the ani-railroad feel
ing manifested by our Legislature. 1t
has changed It's opinion, however, and
is now jealous advocate of the enter
prise. The following extracts show how
enthusiastically it has enlisted in the
cause: "We've got the university,
now give us = chance at the Dallas rail-
road" "Decatur can be depended upon
for her full quota in aiding the Dallas
outlet" decatur will do as much
for the Dallas road, according to popu-
lie lion aud valuation, as Dallas will"
"The Dallas people are said to bo on
route to Decatur looking for the most
practical route for the railroad" "The
people of Jacksboro are red hot for the
Dallas Il Northwestern railroad, which
is to be built through Decatur" "a
new railroad leading from Dallas to De.
catur, and the university, will give
Decatur a boom rarely enjoyed by any
inland city," "By all means lot us have
the Dallas road built. Decatur will as
slst in the good work, whether built by
home or foreign capital.n

THE Limestone New Era speaks of the
roller-skating craze having reached a
certain place-Mt. Calm. The base
ball excitement has reached others, the
picnic other localities, and .revivals are
everywhere spoken OF. Some of our
exchanges have accounts OF the evan.
gelists denounclng these amusements,
but IL IL very difficult for the HERALD to
see any Inconsistency. 1t is entirely
possible for the people to DO religious
and oheerful-to be sober and gay, and
religion would be very unattractive IL
the young people were compelled 10 act
the part OF anchorltes and resist the i'm
pulses Of nature 10 indulge in innocent
amusemsnts. Some Of the most plous
ami devoted Christians we have ever
seen enjoyed the rocreations OF life with
the greatest relish.

On to Brentwood.

BRYAN, May 22.-[Editor HERALD. i
In my opinion there is no railroad pro-
ject Of more commercial significance TO
Dallas than line from Cleburne to
Brownwood. While Dallas has her eye
on northwest Texas, she should not
lose sight of the vast commercial
wealth that would accrue to her by rail-
road connection with Brentwood
To build this road from Gle
burne to Brentwood will assure
to Dallas as much wealth as if the line
commenced in the city of Dallas, If
Dallas would b5 what she has right to
be; if she would outstrip Fort Worth,
she must build railroads. Every prop
ertyholder ought To tax himself liber-
ally for the contamination of this DUR
pose. With such move as this on
foot and in process of construction Dali
as properties would double, and people
and capital would flock to Dallas as
though tt were a great mining town.
These are thoughts gathered by the way
side, yet they are tangible, and If util-
lied will bring much wealth to the city.
