MORE CHEAP MONEY,
The DALLAS HERALD is making a
vigorous warfare on the hjgh rates of
interest charged for money in Texas.
There arc said to be millions of dol.
lars waiting in vaults of Eastern
banks anxious to be invested at 3 to 4
per cent, while in Texas money com

FINE CROPS,
we nave been in many sections of
Texas lately, and for once we can saw
we found no place where the people

there never were such corn. oats and
wheat crops known. in North Texas,

FAITHFUL SERVANT.
And they charge it upon the "Old
AlcRlde" thst he has not "huug away
ambition" but would like to DO a dark
horse in the gubernatorial contest. We
believe that the old man is grossly
slandered. lilo has served his time in
that capacity aud the verdict has been
"well done, though good and faithful
servant" When the list OF Texasgover-
norsis made up, the Old Aloalde's nsms
may not bs exactly like Ben Adhem's

little space between his and the apex

TAXATION.

do not operate as lien on said prom |

fus 4 tJ pay the taxes. This is but an
other loose place in our law. II land
or real estate is bound for taxes, large
amounts Of personal property trans
ferred in bulk, thisl way, ought also
TO be held bound for its taxes Fair |

THE FORT HOPEFUL.
The wonderful vitality and sound
financial and commercial stability of
Fort Worth were put TO a crucial test
during the past week, but scarcely o
ripple was observed. A man in whom
the utmost confidence was placed: one
who was looked upon as pillar of
strength, suddenly Tell, involving in |
his downfall one of tho largest finan- |
oial institutions. But instead of panic |
and alarm, confidence and security |
prevailed, and what in other cities |
would have proven disastrous and !
fatal blow to commercial interests, |
hardly created moments uneaslness |

IT'S ever thus. Let man put HIM
self up for office, and there are always
