THE HERALD AND THE NEws.
The Galveston News will have biz
elephant on its hands when it gets t.
Dallas. THE DALLAS HERALD has go
about as much money and brains al
the Galveston News. This is free
country though, and we picture the
News thusly:

Starts O paper and up he goes"

TO BUILD ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Doesn't it seem strange that the
only way out of the present quaran-
tine difficulty is never mentioned. A
railroad from Dodge City dowr
through the Texas Panhandle as far az
the Texas d Pacific would be q com
plete solution of the present trouble
and the sooner it is built the better
for all. 1t is the only way out OF the
difficulty, and will have to be adopted
sooner or later. Why not now?-[ Texas

THE NEWS BRANCH.
The Galveston News is going to es.
tablish branch in Dallas, tho NOR.
chants of that city having subscribed
for stock. We doubt the ability of the
management Of the News TO run two
papers and make them both success
tul. Some mon can drive two horse
team and do it well, but when they
have four horses to drive they make a
failure of 1t. Dallas is too small for
twomorning es--lComanche Chief,

THE HERALD, DALLALs' BEST FRIEND,
The par ties who have promised the
Galveston News s subsidy OF $4,000 TO
locate at Dallas are not actuated so
much hy love for the welfare of the
News or of Dallas as they are by hs-
tired for The HERALD. For years past
The HERALD has struck gigantic
blows for Dallas and her interests, aud
we venture the prediction that this pa.
per viii rot succumb to the united Of
and the Galveston News. Nolan

THE FEDERAL CRIB.
There will be mourning and lamen-
tation among the $4,000 Democratic
majority in Texas when they realize
the last order OF tho President that no
more changes will DO made in tho de-
partments on tho offensive partisan
racket on the ground that it ia too in
definite and does not coincide with
the civil service reform declaration in
his letter of acceptance, and, in cOnse-
quence tho official Ratchet has been
buried. This is quite consistent with
Mr., Cleveland, but 1t is awful tough
upon the hungry and thirsty Of tho
Democratic party, who have waited
for quarter of century for chance
at the Federal Crib.-LSGn Antonio

THE LAND BOARDS ERRORS,
Had the land board permitted lands
TO be leased at a minimum Of cents,
nearly all of the school lands would
have been taken long ago. And while
cents is fixed by the law now in force
as the minimum lease price 1t is not
thus indicated that vast deal Of the
land would not have been leased at
much higher rates. Over year ago
a large quantity OF tho university
lands could have been leased at o
cents. Now it would DO hard 10 lease
them at cents an acre, while TO lease
them at tho board rates is impossible.
Tho effect is that stockmen may use
the land without paying cent, while
the public schools are denied mil
lion dollars annually and the uuiyer-
sity eight thousand dollars Austin

SURPRISED AT THE DALLAS PEOPLE,
Tho Galveston News announces the
early establishment OF branch Of that
paper at Dallas, and we believe num-
Der OF Dallas citizens have taken stock
in order to secure il. We are surpris-
ed at this action Of the Dallas capitol
lists. They have one OF the best papers
in the state at Dallas now--THE HER

huence to cripple the proprietors they
should give them liberal support.
THE HERALD is strictly a Dallas pa.
per, owned and operated by Dallas
men whose every interest Is conferred
in Dallas, and ii is but reasonable to
suppose they will bend their every en-
ergy TO advance the interests Of their
city. on the contrary, the proprietors
OF the News are Galveston men, with
large Galveston interests, and II they
succeed in establishing their branch
paper at Dallas, 1t will only be anoth-
erfever to work to build up the Island
City at the expense OF the North Texas
towns. BY paying the News to pub
fish daily paper in Dallas, the citi'
zens Of that town may succeed In
greatly crippling, If they do not actual
