market has been dull to-day. The to-

this afternoon there was decided
break in Omahas, accompanied by a
further yielding of prices in st. Paul

weakness continuing until Just before

in some of the most active stocks. In
some cases this evenings prices are

ALL ARE VITALITY INTERESTED.

SOME of the business men who are
friends Of the HERALD say that we ex-
pect too much of the business mon aud
not enough Of the property owners Of
the city in tho matter Of formu lating
and prosecuting new schemes for the
good OF Dallas; that the business men
arc criticized for want of enterprise,
whom the property owners are really the
negligent class. The HERALD docs not
crtcise the business men. 1t would be
unjust to do 80, for all that Dallas has or
has dono, has been the result of onter-
prise on the part Of her business mon.
They are as progressive and liberal as
can be found in any city whom the me-
cessity for action Is presented to them.
The great fault with all classes has been
tho blind confidence that Dallas would
grow without assistance and become 70
metropolis in spite OF rivalry simply
through her "natural advantages" But
the day Of the potency of "na.ural adj
vantagos" has gone. Railroads, tele
graphs, Artificial stimulants can over
come natural disadvantages, aud place
"a waste in competition aud rivalry with
the most fertile aud favoraby situated
locality.
Neither does tho Herald desire to
speak in critical spirit of the property
owners Of tho city. As they are the
most directly interested, 10 Is for them
TO say what they will do. So far, the
business mon of Dallas have been max.
ing the improvements, aud these latter
are correct whom they say that the en-.
tire burden Of this city's future should
not rest upon them. No men In Dallas
would DO 80 directly benefited by the
growth and prosperity Of Dallas as those
who own property within its corporate
limits or adjacent thereto. No men
would suiler so greatly rs they, should

If Dallas found herself at any time dis
tanced, and she is far away from the
goal as yet, the business mon could put
their all I'm freight cars and Within &
hours seek more promising aud invit
ing field. Not so with the property
owner. The decay OF trade means tn,
depreciation of real estate, low rents
and no opportunities to sell. A stand

the following notice in its columns,
signed by ELIZABETH O. DoNNELLY,
president, which it does very cheer
fully. The women of the land are the
great conservators ofpublic morals, and
they arc justifably the enemies of in
temperance. II they, in their most
natural zeal, propose measures which
the HERALD deems impolitic and i'm
practicable, their intentions proceed
from the hottest and purest of motives.
May GOD bless their gentle influence,
and preserve them from such extrava-
gance as would nullify the strength of
their restraining influence! But, ladies',
in all candor, don't you think that "cold
water banquet" on the 7th of May, to
which we are invited, has rather an in
sipid and melancholy whoop?
"The state convention of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, of Texas,
will convene at Dallas May s and con.
tinue through the 10tn. On the 7th inst.
there will DO a prohibition meeting of
oil temperance bodies, and at night a
cold water banquet. Able addresses
viii be delivered on the occasion, and
during the exercises of the convention
several OF the leading women of the w.
g. Il. u. will read articles relating to the
subject Of temperance and tho workings
OF thoir organization. We hope to have
a large attendance from all portions of
the state and trust that our workers
will be encouraged and our cause
strengthened.
