A telegram was received here yester-
day evening that j. l.. tricks, the man
who had done up the little jobs of swind-
ling and skipped, had been arrested at
Atlanta. The telegram was supposed TO
have come from Atlanta, Tex, and the
county attorney was telephoned to at
Kaufman to be on hand this morning,
and came over last night. This morning
the fact was developed that the man was
arrested at Atlanta, Ga. Mr.. Leadbctter
says he is determined that he shall be
brought back.

Next Best to Hugglng.

Houston Age.
Speaking of the EARN clutch" an ex-
change says:
For gentleman to grasp the arm of a
lady with whom he is walking as if he
were a policeman escorting her to the
calaboose, is a social atrocity and lady
would be justified in declining to be
again escorted by q man so unfamiliar
with the customs of elegant society.
The Age has always considered the
"arm clutch" as an abomination, and IS
never likely to regard it rs anything else.
We must confess, however, that ii is an
abomination that some women seem to be
remarkably fond Of. 10 is about the
nearest approach to huggjng that they
can indulge in on the streets.

A DI8TRE8SED CONrEMpoRlRY


"And Joab said to Amasa, art thou in
health, my brother? So he
smotc him in the Hlthri0." The modern
Joab who parades in the disguise Of
the Dallas Herald is not ingenious
or ingenious enough to play the
part of u successful dccciyer. THE
Tm GAzErrE cannot bc betrayed by an
appearance of regard on the part of the
Dallas paper, and it might as well stop
the business.
What painful expression of distress
passes over the visage of the Herald as it
eNclaims, "the Fort Worth GAZETTE is
too staunch a Southern paper and too
firm friend to Texas TO remain in the
! opposition ON this silver question. If
those Eastern capitalists can stop the
further coinage OF silver they will also
be powerful enough to get congress to
redeem and cancel the S3iG,OoO, 600 of
outstanding legal-tendcr (grccnback)
notes, What does this contraction mean?
1t means that they aud their friends can
and will get up all sorts of corners, with
all the money in their possession, on corn
or cotton, ON wheat, on meats, etc. our
farmers, our merchants, will be thus
tlceCed ut the pleasure of the money-hold-
ers and the country kept demoralized by
every species of speculation"
Now the Herald wen knew, or should
have known, If 1t had gone to The GAZETTE
for its knowledge, that this paper has
never taken place Sin the opposition on
the silver coinage question" The infer
cnce is, therefore, that THE GAZETTE Is
to be numbered among those who look
upon the single gold standard with favor.
In point of fact, the attitude OF this paper
is more staunchly favorable to the con.
tinuancc of the double standard of gold
and silver than that of the Herald and its
satellites. We have held, from the be-
ginning, and repeated it in every phrase,
that the country cannot dispense with its
silver currency by the decentralization OF
that metal. II was to strengthen the
cause of silver that THE GAZETTE began
the agitation OF this question In Texas
by taking the position that the silver dol
lar should be increased in weight until its
actual value is equal To Its nominal value,
for only by this means can the threatened
decentralization Of that metal be averted.
There is powerful party in congress
which is determined TO exclude silver
from circulation as money There is an.
other party that is in favor OF silver, but
not of dishonest S0-cent dollar. This
party will stand by silver II the dererior-
ated coin is advanced in value, but win
not favor the continued coinage OF
fraudulent dollar. Their alliance with
the mono-metalists can dcmonetize silver
altogether, aud the rash and radical sil.
ver shrickers of the Herald stamp are in
the way to drive on this alliance aud com
pei what they AFFECT TO oppose, Tnr GA
zrrrh Is honestly and sincerely in favor

A vERy WICKED pECpLE.

Rev. j. Spencer Kennard, Chicago III.
vine, asserted in recent sermon that
there were G000 open drinking places IN
that city-places where the sale of whisky
was allowed, The population of Chicago
is about 100000 In that city, therefore,
100 persons sustain Il saloon.
There are not above 1000 saloons in
Texas where whisky Is sold at retail, and
We have a population of 2,250,OO0 or
more Here it requires 1925 persons to
support II saloon. One hundred persons
in Chicago consume as much whisky as
eleven hundred In Texas. with one
fourth our population, the metropolis Of
Illinois sustains three times as many
drinking places as the entire state Of
Texas. If the same proportion of saloons
to population existed in this state rs in
Chicago, we would have 22,5O0 drinking
places, instead Of 1000.
If vice and incompetence are common
surate with the consumption of whisky,
we have no cause to envy the popular cap
ital Of the proudcst and wealtLicst state
of the West.
We have taken some pride In speaking
of Fort Worth as "the Chicago OF the
South" We won't do so any more. 1t
means too much. In push, energy, pub
lie spirit, industry and libcrality, we vie
with Chicago, but not in vice and wicked
ness.
Let us thank God, not hypocritically,
that we are not as Chicago is, in all
things,
