The Truth Hurts ,Em,

That old gag about so many people
getting of and on the cars at Fort
Worth has been told until 1t is thread
bare from use. 1t is old and stale and
never had anything in it at first. 1t
is enough to make st. John man
swear never TO draw sober breath
again, after reading this same old
saw" day after day in the news
papers published at certain railroad
crossing II you can't get up editorial
enough without the aid of this, throw
sawhorse in the editorial columns
and tell your readers that, at last,
after great trouble and expense you
have succeeded In obtaining correct
likeness OF Gen Barrios' fiery war
steed, and suffering public Will rise
up and call you blessed.

saloon is under obligations. Despite
all this, however, Fort Worth has gone
on in growth Of population and In
crease OF trade, until now this city
exceeds Dallas in the number OF in
habitants and in the amount OF busi-
ness transacted. The knowledge that
Fort Worth is now putting up more
business houses than any city In the
state, In some of which even Dallas
men are interested, and that certain
contemplated enterprises will make
Fort Worth the leading city OF
the state, have aroused the Dali
las papers to consciousness Of
the fact that ridicule has neither
built up Dallas nor stopped the on
ward march Of this place. The hand
writing on the wall has become plain
TO the comprehension of even Dallas
editors, and, In q wild effort to arouse
its own people, the Herald is compelled
to acknowledge the splendid enter
prise OF Fort Worth men, and endeav-
ors to sugar.coat the gall and worm
wood Of the acknowledgment by call
ing the everyday pluck and VIM OF
this people "a life and death struggle
1t has always been "a life and death
struggle''--life for Fort Worth and
death for Dallas. But the testimony
OF the Herald in extremes, though
literally forced from it, Is val.
liable AZ its own answer to its former
ridicule Of this city, and we file 1t for
reference:
However offensive ii may be to GER
tain parties in Dallas to say SO, Fort
Worth is a live town, and has well
nigh caught Dallas. 1t has enter
prise, liberality and push, and, above
all, feels that IL has rivals that must
be distanced or itself go down and
resume the dimensions of respecta-
BILE county town. IL is a life and.
death struggle with Fort Worth, and
the pubic spirit Of its citizens in such
an emergency is admirable and COM
mendable. TO borrow stage phrase,
they are strictly business Not
only Fort Worth, but Brentwood,
Colorado City, Decatur and other
Southwestern and Northwestern
towns are displaying wonderful
activity and public spirit, and
soliciting railroad and manuiac-
turing and other enterprises
and Offering liberal inducements and
bonuses therefor. BY and by Dallas
will find her tributary territory re-
duced to Dallas county, aud then the
crash must come property depreciate,
stocks and business be removed, and
the city decorated with placards and
signs bearing the tell-tale inecrip-
ton: "For Rent" and For Sale"
Fort Worth will soon put Dallas out
of its misery. No one expected that a
town which once had such advantages
and prospects would die easy. The
pleadings of the Herald are the death
rattle, 80 far as any contest with Fort
Worth for supremacy is concerned.
The time is daily growing nearer
when Dallas will no more think of
rivaling Fort Worth than it now.
without deep water, hopes to rival
London.
But the Herald ought really to be
thankful, for II its people had the en-.
ttrprise urged by the Herald, they
would long since have raised that
money for live morning daily.

Bill Barlow, in the Rawlins Tribune,
gives this picture of a frontier character
who has ''whilomed' to the sweet pre-
viously. He has gone from our gaze, but
we shall not deplore him:
g The day of the "Howling Coyote from
Poison Greek" alias Bob Brown the
Inebriated Cowboy, is over in this lati-
tude. Time was when he could shoot out
lamps, perforate hats, ride his cayuse into
saloons and hotels and stand off the town;
but now his glory has departed forever.
The real article ct cowboy knows this,
and doesen attempt any ofthose old-time
pleasantries; but occasionally a cowboy of
the tenderfoot variety, whose brain is
stored with tales of border life as found
in nickel novels, attempts to revive the
customs of the good old days-but he
never repeats the experiment. Lately
we had a case of this kind. A young
Philadelphia, belonging to a good fam
lily and a gentleman when sober, probably,
who is undergoing his first experience as
a cowboy, came in to take in the glove
fight He held a glass under his nose a
few times, and her started out to pave
the streets with human skulls. He soon
found out that the contract was a big one.
He made a gun play, at a hotel bro
prietor, who knocked him down, and a st.
Joe drummer took the weapon away from
him and spanked the bosom of his pants
with it. Then he braced up and started
10 kill the travelling man with his bare
knuckles, but was knocked into a cooked
hat and hung owe the piazza bannisters
like a wet towel inside ofthirteen seconds.
Finally he revived and started out for
more skulls. He struck at a railroad
man who laughed at him, and the rail
road mar uncorked his claret Jug and laid
him out in the second round. Friends
carried him off the field, and the express
train took him east that night. He prob
ably won't stop till he reaches Philadel-
phia If he is permitted to have his own
way.
