The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1885-02-05


the states where the.system sought to be
introduced has been adopted there is
great dissatisfaction, and the law will
probably be repealed-notably so in
Missouri and Virginia. Our legislature
Will do well to act carefully in the
matter.
The Fort Worth Gazette cant keep
secret, and it is as communicative as an
old maid. 1t divulges the following.
which WAS told 1t in the strictest conf
dence: "Some OF the garrulous attend
ants have divulged the secret that as
soon as GIBBS new baby arrived, the
l1ttl fellow commenced shaking hands
and making himself solid with a pros
pective constituency" If the Gazette
examines the almanac il will discover
the boy was born in the sign of Aqua
RUS, and il the editor ever fools about
tho youngster he will find it out.

From thousand lips the HERALD
has heard expressions Of tho utmost
condemnation OF all who engage in The
dynamite business. "Find them out
and hunt them down." is the full
hearted cutlery Of the people. 1t suits
not the genius of Americans, nor does it
comport with the spirit OF civilization,
whether its purpose be so,called patrio-
tic, socialistic or what not. 1t is rod
! handed murder with the soul of the
sneak, and free and manly people will
stamp out the vlllmny by throttlng and
hanging the perpetrators.

/ The papers in the state are announc.
ing a surcease Of poetry by amateurs.
The HERALD, in subdued mood, is
/ thankful. After congress and the legis-
lature adjourn there win be more room
in the columns Of the HERALD for
such well, call it what you please-and
until dog days, ii is to be hoped no poet
or poetess will straddlo Pegasus in
north Texas. After that time the imi-
tator of BARBARY ALIENS pathetic
song shall have the preference over
| WHITTIER or LoNGFELLow.

The return of good times on Wall
street, tho advance in the price of grain
and COTTON, and the daily announce
ment of resumption in business, both by
large and small business concerns, are
joyful events. But should we not here
in Dallas regard them as the tickings of
the clock of time to remind us of day
light we are burning in not grasping
the opportunities held out to us? The
spring is "nigh on to us" but we must
not catch its fever.
HAS 1t ever occurred to the average !
reader that too much Importance is
given to JEREMIAH O'DoNovAN Rosa |
and his gang? Notoriety is the very
meat they feed ON, and IL is to be hoped |
the pross will withdraw their attention
from so unpleasant a theme and let the
laws Oh the land protect citizens from
harm, whilst it keeps a keen eye ON
those who are regardless of such laws.

The Galveston News did not learn by |
telegraph THAI the HERALD was quoted |
in the house when the appropriation
bill was discussed. The members of
the house of representatives Of congress
did not think the HERALD's articles |
"uumeaning STUN The Galveston .
News is daisy, but its perfume is /
waited out on deep water and don't /
count.
STILLwELL II. RUSSELL has returned [
to his home in Marshall Few men, in I
deed, believe SrILLwELL RUSSELL IA !
dishonest or a bad man at heart. He
was the victim of a political clique, in
generated in a felon's prison, but his
friends meet him cordially, and are
magnanimous enough to say that he has
suffered to appease the hatred of his ,
enemies. He is better man to-day /,
than some OF his traducers.
THE Denison Herald-Nows is correct
when 1t says the members of the legis-
lature "evidently know more about diff
lerent brands of whisky than they do
about fish, The fish commission is one
of the most 10 be commended i'm the
state, and It's usefulness should be ex-
tended. IL Is poor economy TO cut of
such institutions when itwould prove
loss TO the state of millions Of dollars in
the way Of food product.

READERS subscribe for papers giving
the most news. 1t will be seen by those
who care to investigate that tho Dallas
HERALD is now giving fuller Associated
Press dispatches than any other paper
in the state, The Galveston News
would no doubt publish all that appears
in the HERALD, but the trains leave that
city at an unpropitious hour, and too
early for the News to publish as full
dispatches as the HERALD.

II has been only comparatively
short time since this wonderful explod-
ing agency has been known to the poo-
pie at large, although the scientific
world has known Of It for quite long
period. 1t was discovered 10y an Italian
named sALvERo, in ISIS. In engineer
ing and military operations It had been
employed, but asa general agency Tor
acts Of desperate character it was but
little spoken of, until the Nlhlllsts of
Russia broughtit into most prominent
notice. Since then 1t has been en-
ployed In Germany, France, England
and America and in other places Ms the
