.AE AEkALD: DALlAs. TEXAS. TUESDAY, FEBRuARY 8 rs5

THERE are some papers in the state
that comprehend the HERALD's position
on deep water, and accord it honest JUS
tice in the course it has r,ursued.
Among these is the Clifton Sentinel,
which says: "While the press in gem
eral is commenting on deep water at
Galveston, the tenor seems to be to CEN
sure the Dallas HERALD for its bold and
persistent stand in the matter. We do
not condemn the HERALD's action in
this, believing as we do that the HER
AID, which has been the prime lever to
the greatness of Dallas, recognizes tae
fact that Dallas is, and must continue
to be the chief commercial city of north
Texas, and has, with the HERALp's
aid, conceded all just rights to Calves
ton as the states most prominent and
feasible seaport. But that it fights

the privilege and the duty OF journal

THIS, from the Waco Day. is what the
Galveston News calls unmeaning stuff:
"CoNaRESsAIAN SPRINGER's amend
ment to the Galveston harbor appropria-
ton that no money shall be paid until
the wharf company agrees 10 charge
reasonable prices for wharfage, is in
the right direction and ought to pass.
When deep water is secured on the coast
OF Texas, the people do not want to pay
perpetual toll to a private company"
II seems that the "scheme" don't ma
terialize we'll in Texas. The more the
people and press investigate the matter
the more Disguised they become with
the schemers.

FOR BURNING ASPINWALL.
Prestan, the Colombian RevOIutiOnist
Hanged at Panama.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Don Pedro Prestan was
executed in Aspinwall on the 18th ultimo for
the burning of that city in March last. The Star
and Herald OF Panama has the following story
OF the cOurt-martial and execution of Presian:
Four witnesses declared that Prestan was the
principal author of the destruction OF Aspn-
wall. These were Messrs. Juan Betrame, an
italian; Clement Dupuy, acting superintendent
of the Panama railroad; Hugh Dieterich, a Ger
man, and VIM. Common, agent of the Pacific
Mail Steamship company in Colon. Prestan
strongly denied the charges laid against him.
but he did not lay the blame on any other per-
son. nor did he say his followers had not conn
mitted the crime. The court, after having heard
the prisoners defence, ordered the room to be
cleared, and then deliberated TO what SEN
tence they should pronounce. All the votes
but one were for the hanging of Prestan. Once
the death warrant signed, the prisoner was
called in and he was notified OF his sentence.
He heard the sentence read with great compos-
ure. Up to his last moment he had priest by
his side. When upon the scaffold he spoke a
few words, dwelling upon the Colo INDIANS to
believe him innocent Of such an atrocious
crime. The sentence was signed at .:3O on
the evening of the 18th and was unanimously
approved, and Prestan was hanged the next
day at noon. The execution was witnessed by
an immense crowd, OF all colors and nationaIi-
ties.
