Va always, until the announcement |
~ its new departure was made, claim
III tor the last named paper alone. AID. |
eoartisers have heretofore been freely |
ssysn 10 understand that the Calves |
~, News "covered tho State;" that 20 |
zach the people of the whole State |
with an announcement, all that was |
necessary was TO mako 1t through the !
colums OF that paper. Though well-in.
formed people OF Texas have known |
for several years past what the proprie- |
Tors OF the News now tacitly admit, |
mat TIE News was being rapidly |
cTowded down and hedged in until i |
nractically became mere local paper |
5or Galveston and limited territory |
in tho Southern portion of Texas with !
nnly a "sprinkiing" circulation in |
other parts OF Texas, il still proclaim |
cd itself tho "gr5at News" The great |
Texas paper, before which, from the |
Panhandle to tho Sabine, from the Red |
River to tho Rio Grande, all other |
napers paled into insigniticance. All |
stoncs, however, III News it,elfadmlt- |
ted that its former professions were !
fraudulent, and acknowledged that it |
would have TO start another paper at !
Dallas TO reach the people of the State, |
and new circular became necessary, |
iigent advertiser knows that as soon ss |
the Dallas paper is started the Calves |
tor News will be cut oHfrom what was |
left OF its patronage in Northern |
Texas, and that th9 new paper will |
Lave only that as nucleus, having TO |
build up circulation against strong !
and long established competitors-in |
the face Of this fact, the News people, |
through the circular mentioned, have |
the check, the brazen effrontery, to an
nounce to those advertisers that with |
the starting OF the paper the whole |
State will again beinstantly ''coverd," !
the inference that is intended shall |
be drawn being that as soon as the ,
Dallas News is started ell tho news |
paper readers Of tho North
ern and Eastern and
good portion Of Western Texas |
Will at once become readers of chat
payer to the exclusion OF all others.
The announcement il an insult to the
intelligence OK tho advertisers Of tho
country.
The Express has eympathised with
the News in its mlslDrtunos and the
necessity Tor its very desperate at
temDt to transfer Itself 10 a now field |
before It's prestige as the Loading paper
of Texas should be- entirely destroyed,
but its supreme arrogance end gs-

clearer than the italiciscd logic Of con-

THE PUBLIC ROADS,
The question Of public roads leading !
i'.O his city Is one OF paramount im-
8. 70 uC5 10 every business man with. !
III tl0 limits Of the city. Good h!gh- |
ways through tho adjacent neighbOr- |
hoods are an imperative necessity for |
the benefit OF th9 farmers ana tho |
steady progress OF trade and tr8yel. !
From all accounts tho condition OF the |
country roads is fer from what they !
ought to DO. They may be dry and |
passable during the summer months, |
but 1t is an indisputable fact that dur |
ing the season when the cotton cropis |
being gathered and the most OF the |
hauling done TO and from gins and to |
the nearest markets, the highways arc |
in bad condition from heavy rains |
and constant use. The wear and tear |
Of wagons over highways full Of ruts |
and holes; tho extra use OF farm ami
malls In hauling necessarily lightened |
loads, and the Inconvenience Of travel, |
would moro than compensate ana |
oounterbalsnce the necessary labor |
and expense expended in keeping tho |
roads in order ere tho crops mature. |

ipuiators, Texas has been long enough |
in the hands OF mon who, as eOou as
they arc elected gather together about |

the people who elected thom-irom
this charge wb exempt tho prCsont
chief magistrate, who has exhibited
less of the spirit of riugism than any
of his predecessors, But there i9 no
sort OF doubt but that tho harpies who
gather about the State house have
been having TOO much 20 do with the
policy of tho State, and the will OF tho
people too little. We propose TO place
man ia that position Of the people

Texas. One rather near tho heart Of
