FORT WORTH, Ten, May o, 1886.
To the Editor Of THE GAZETTE:
!, In common with many other citi-
zens Of Fort Worth, am not only glad
that the Galveston News is not
coming to this city, but look upon its
location at Dallas as not unmixed
evil. 1t will have the effect of arous.
ing US from the lethargic indifference
into which we, had dropped after an UNI
paralleled boom. 1t will stir us up to
renewed activity and sense of the
necessity for sustaining our enterprise.
The GAZETTE Is the sign of our eX.
istence. IL was created for the town
and for the embyo empire over which
our commercial interests are extended.
1t has nobly fulfilled its mission so
far, but its task is not yet done. We
have need OF IL, and must support it..
There Is not man who owns an inch
of land, who has dollar invested in
local enterprises who Is not deeply
concerned In the supremacy of The
GAZETTE as the messenger who daily
carries to the state the tidings of our
progress.
- ~ h'Ncu Wy an OppouehI WHOSE
success threatens TO retard the devel,
opmeht OF our enterprises, and IL must
be sustained materially by our people.
Fort Worth has attained marvellous
proportions in the very teeth of pow
erful neighbor, but we have not yet at.
tained that point when we can afford
TO ignore its presence and its strength.
We look to the ability and the in
domitable energy of THE GAZETTE to
continue to fight our battle, and we
must supply it with the sinews of war.
But THE GAZETTE must take the init
alive. We are willing to help but the
means must We indicated by you.
Call to your aid the public spirit, the
never-tiring readiness ef the people,
and your voice will not be UNDECIDED.

Dead Weirht.

No city can reach the size and inn
portanoe and ambition Of Fort Worth
without becoming painfully conscious
of "A certain amount of dead weight. 1t
is to the credit of Fort Worth that its
proportion Of this dead weight is less
than In other cities, but still we have
q greater share Of IL than Is either
pleasant or profitable. There are men
In Fort Worth who have been made
rich by the enterprise of others, with
scarcely Il helping hand from them
selves; men who, II they had acct
dentally bought their cheap land in the
long ago ten miles to the east or west,
would not be rich to-day men who
pose as prominent wealthy citizens,
and yet leave poor salaried devils to
contribute to public enterprises men
who have never been benefit to the
town and are worse than dead weight,
because other people who would give
are growing tired of giving
that these leeches may grow
fat. These men toll not, neither
do they spin for Fort Worth,
yet our most enterprising men do not
reap such hsrvests rs they from the
appreciation in real estate values.
But because few first-class funerals
are unhappily postponed, our enter
prising people should not weary in
well-doing. All cities are forced to
carry such dead weight; and the
money such men hoard does not bring
them that public consideration which
wealth usually wins. We cannot
afford to let the city languish because
an inscrutable providence permits GER
tain men to live on, worse than dead
weight TO their neighbors.
On with the boom
