We do not build as many railroads
on paper M Fort Worth, but have
something more to show as an ind lea
ton Of the progress and development
of our city. Too much credit cannot
be given to those Of our citizens who
have taken charge of the railroad en-.
terprise TO Decatur and other points
in the northwestern portion of our
state Dallas Democrat.
THE GAZETTE would not throw one
impeachment in the way OF the con-
struction of the Dallas and North
western, hut we must protest against
invldious remarks. 1t Is not necessary
to pull Fort Worth down in order to
build up Dallas, and the papers In
that city should have learned this
truth long ago. What are the plain
facts about this Northwestern railroad?
Who are the paper road and who the
iron road builders? The Fort Worth

rold, about 100 miles to the northwest
OF Fort Worth, and this road is now

History of Mexico.

The latest published volume OF the
History of the Pacific States"
Hubert Howe Bancrof) appeared
towards the end Of last April, and it
will be followed by volume regularly
every three months until the remark
able historic series Is complete. The
period covered is from 1924 to 1868.
The narrative comprises events that
are of general interest to the thought
ful reader aud student Of history, but
which, besides, have in some respects
intimate connection with the past
life of our own state. We find our
neighbors enjoying (?) the name Of
republic for these forty years. They
had freed themselves from the heels of
a foreign prince only to be pitted
against one another in the miseries of
revolution after revolution during
this wretched period. But the out
come has been wholesome. Mexico,
now, broadened and enlightened and
improved in things practical by en-
larged commerce and other association
with advanced nations, is taking GER
tain steps toward respectability and
standing among the powers of the
earth. The story of all this Is told in
clear, strong style by Mr.. Bancroft
whose narrative Is one of stirring facts
that are of interest to Texans as well
AS to other intelligent readers !;
but 1t has an immediate home con-
Germ for us, whose history for
many of the most critical years
OF. our existence was inseparable
from that of our swarthy neighbors,
What strikes US most in reading MIR.
Bancrofts mastery treaties is the
wealth of information from which he
writes. Probably no other historian
in the world was ever so thoroughly
equipped for his work. ia this respect.
rs he Is. His library is marvel. To
I'LL 1t, every means of information DOS
slble has been exhausted. While
poring over his pages SO rich In facts
(which are the essence of history we
are Impressed with the idea that he
held the record, documentary evidence,

The Coming Bleo.ions.

AT this time il Is premature to speeu-
late upon the result Of state elections
that are to occur next fall; but we find
the New York Herald making some
calculations and deductions that are
interesting as relating to that topic.
Ohio votes in October, and Connecti-
cut, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania and Virginia in Novem-
Der. In the recent presidential cleo
ton the Republicans carried only
Ohio, Iowa, Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania; but the Democratic
majority was so narrow In Connecticut
1276) and New York (l047) that these
states are fairly considered contestable,
and New Jersey is not far removed
from the doubtful list.
The year after presidential election
10 not commonly fortunate one for
the party in power, end the Democrats
viii have to fight hard to keep what
they have won. The Republicans,
Of course, will do their best to recover
lost ground, preliminary to the contest
for the control Of congress in 1880, and
for the recovery of the presidency two
years later. In New York the election
OF governor and full board Of state
officers, and in Ohio the election of
governor and United States senator,
will stimulate their zeal. The loss of
Michigan in the spring will put them
on their guard in the West, in portions
OF which there are signs of detection,
The failure of the prophecies of evil as
the result of Democratic administra-
ton, the Herald thinks, will
deliver many voters from the
superstition and prejudice which
have kept them in the Republican
ranks much longer than their convic-
tions and interests dictated, and will
lead to an amount Of independent vot-
ing this year that will astonish the pur.
blind Republican managers.
