THE Calvert Courier says: "The Dali
las HERALD presents most vigorous
opposition to deep water at Galveston.
The HERALD is for Dallas against the
world" The HERALD is and always
has been loyal to Dallas, as well as to
all north and west Texas. In truth, it
is working for the best interests of the
entire state. 1t has never failed to fos-
ter and encourage any public enterprise
calculated to benefit Dallas or the state.
Whenever public enterprise has been
inaugurated in this city, the HERALD
has been found warmly advocating it,
and it would now labor earnestly and
ardently to encourage the extension OF
the Trunk Line road to Athens and on
to Sabine Pass, for the construction Of
new roads leading to the coal fields in
Wise county, another to Brentwood
and thence on to the Rio Grande, anC
for the extension of the Santa Fe tt
Paris and through the Indian Territory
While the HERALD is working for Dgl
las, it is not for Dallas alone, as tn
News is working for Galveston only
without caring whether or not tho glor,
of its own city dims that of all others il
the state.

THE friends OF prohibition are circu-
lating petitions all over the state TO pre-
sent to tho legislature, asking that a
constitutional amendment be submitted
TO the voters, prohibiting the sale OF
intoxicating liquors In the state. There
is not the slightest chance in the world
for such an amendment to carry in this
state, but II seems the advocates of the
measure will not rest satisfied until tn,
attempt is made. Prohibition was car
ried in Main, Iowa and Kansas, but Il
didn't prohibit much.

THE people of the state will not regret
that SENAToRJoHNsoN will never again
fill political office. His economical
views run in such small channels that
they are regarded with derision all over
the state. 1t is not believed he could
get a very strong support again for
office in his own county.

SENATOR RnowN, in an argument OPP
posing the REAGAN bill, said its pass

be enough roadsin the north and west,
1t was not so with he south, which yet
needed railroads. Should the national
and state legislatures continue to pass
restrictive laws tor the management OF
the railroads in the country, those al

THE rumors alloat that Gov. HUE
BARD would accept the relationship Of
the port of Galveston are unkind and
can do him no good. The governor is
spoken OF most favorably for a cabinet
position. and insinuations that he would
even think Of accepting the collector
ship are in the highest degree unjust,
and are not circuIated by his friends.

THE argument in the SWAIN court
martial case has been commenced. The
HERALD has been so happy in its pre-
dictions as to future events of late that
it hesitates to soothsay on this question.
Yet it is safe in announcing that if rules
of law as accepted in civil courts be
adopted by the military tribunal GEN
SWAIN will and must be acquitted.

THE sheep in the southwest are re-
ported to be dying off from the effects of
damp and cold weather. The cruelty to

After this Delegate Meek never
had cause to complain of neglect at
the table or of lack of attention from
the people of Washington. There
were reasons why tie Administration
desired to cultivate the representa-
tive of the people of Oregon, and
many of the Democratic leaders took
great pains to have Mr.. Meek feel
well towards the party and the Ad-
ministration. On the occasion Vice
President Dallas invited Meek to go
with him to call on some ladies; Old
Joe spruced himself up as best be
could, but when he came down to
take the carriage he was dressed in
his backskin beeches and his frontier
garb. Dallas broke out with For
heavens sake you don't mean to say
that you are going to call upon the
ladies in that dress?' 1 am said
Oregon's first representative. For
three reasons. First, it's good
enough; second, haven't any other;
third, I have no money to get any
other Dallas made the best of the
situation, and afterwards said that
the old frontiersman bore himself
we'll, and that he did credit to his
people and to his party.
Meek returned to Oregon and
dropped back into his old habits Of
life. His two years experience in
Washington gave him abundant ma
terial, however, for stories which
greatly delighted his old associates
in Oregon, and which for years were
told aud retold by him, and by from
tiersmen generally. These stories
now have dropped out of even the
literature of the frontier, and no
congressional dictionary or record
or encyclopedia as much as men
tions Old Joe Meek, who in 1885 and
1856 was the friend of the Admins
tration coterie at Washington. But

Taxation.

When an American awakes in the
morning, says the San Francisco
Examiner, his eyes open upon the
walls of a room covered with paper
taxed 25 per cent, and he steps
from his bed taxed 35 per cent,
from under blankets taxed 60 per
cent, and out on carpet taxed IA
per cent. He draws aside the win
dow curtains taxed As per cent,
and looks through glass taxed 80 per
cent, to see how the untaxed wealth
er is looking. Throwing off his
nightshirt taxed As per cent, he
puts on his undershirt and stock
ings taxed IS per cent, and his over
shirt taxed 25 per cent, aud then
his coat, pants and vest taxed As per
cent. Finding a suspender button
gone he has it sewed on with needle
taxed 25 per cent, and spool of
thread taxed 60 per cent. He az
ranges his hair with combs and
brushes taxed 40 per cent, and
pares his fnger-nails with pocket
knife taxed so per cent, or with
scissors taxed As per cent. Feeling
little out of sorts he takes dose
of castor oil taxed 102 per cent.
from a goblet taxed 45 per cent. He
shaves himself before q mirror taxed
so per cent, with razor taxed 40
per cent, and uses lather from soap
taxed 30 Per cent. He starts the
fire in his CRATE taxed As per cent,
with coal taxed GO per cent, and
boils his water for coffee in kettle
taxed 53 per cent. He eats for
breakfast mackerel taxed % per
cent, with rice taxed 1913 per cent.
His salt is taxed 3G per cent, and
the sugar be uses AZ per cert. His
cups and saucers and plates are
taxed SIS per cent, and his spoons
As per cent. He smokes a cigar OF
cigarette taxed from IS to 200 per
cent, according to equality, and
prepares for his daily duties. This
is no fancy picture but, one drawn
from the revenue laws of the United
States. The list of duties on ne
cessities indispensable to daily life
