THE POWER OF THE PRESS.
The power OF the press Of Dallas is ut
last demonstrated. Its ancient Gala. |

Is TO be rehabilitated by a coat of |

sweeping reforms are effected there |

INTERNATIONAL.
Some Texas newspapers haye been
making an unnecessary amount of
noise about electing men TO office on
their war records. The Houston Post
goes so far as to gravely say that "no
man ought TO be elected TO Office solely
because Of that record" II such =
thing mas been done tho Times hasn't
heard OF 1t. These papers are lighting
man OF straw. No man is going into
office simply on his record as SOL
dier, though good war record ought

expressed himself to that effect, and
we presume he knows nearly as much
about such things az some newspapers
dos. A. Times.
THAT MISERABLE OWL SERVICE.
The Greenville Herald declares that
civil service is q humDug, and wants
to "out with the rascals" in spite of ,
It's humbug features. Yos, with a
commission of two Republicans and
ono Democrat to administer the law,
civil service reform is n grand hum
bug. Let the present commission
DC retired on half pay. II Congress
does not abolish tho civil service com
mission when 1t meets again, tho pres
ent commissioners ought TO be kicked
out. They arc Ielic of Republican
administration, and control too many
appointments to DO OF tho political
complexion that they McNia

EXECUTE THE LAW.
The City by the Sea, that is doing
business at the old stand, seems to 90
IN bad way again over tho threatened
attempt by tho legal authorities to en-
force the Sunday laws. IL will be re-
membered that about four years ago
an effort was made to have tho laws !
enforced, and that the sR.
loon men and shop keepers made ,
such violent and riotous domonstra-
lions that the enforcement of tho laws
was abandoned, and those who were
disposed pursued their yocations in |
defiance OF the laws. Another attempt I
ls now being mado TO put in execu- ,
ton the Sunday laws, and these same
yiolators Threaten to enact similar
scenes. The city authorities should ,
have the backbone to execute the
laws and punish all violators Who DEFY
their authority.-LL ampasas Eaglo.
