BY a private letter received at this of

the assertion that Texas was asking
more than could be granted her The
S7,750,0OO for the Improvement of Calves
ton harbor had its effect upon every
other Texas appropriation. The letter
stated further that Mr.. WELLBoRN
worked IN the interest of Fort Worth
in this matter with little support from
the citizens Of the Fort. lie hopes to
get an appropriation for that city at the
next sitting of congress. The HERALD
would rejoice with the citizens of tho
Fort if success should crown Mr.. WELL

THE HERALD returns thanks to the
Texas Cow Boy for the following fiatter-
ing notice of MIR. HALL, who is now alb
sent from he city. The generous trib-
ute paid to Mr.. HALL is all the more
appreciated, because it comes from this
city, where he resides, and where he is
best known: "The late meeting OF
Texas editors, at Galveston, was pro-
ductive of at least one good result-the
nomination of Col, W. L. HALL, of the
Dallas HERALD, as register of the
treasury, vice SENATOR BRUCE, of
Mississippi. Mr.. HALL would be
the right man for the position. Few
men in the south can show better rec
ord than the colonel, and we hope this
movement inaugurated by the press as
ISOLATION will grow in proportion with
his sterling worth. He has the hearty
endorsement of the Cow Boy, and, We
can safely say, of every man in the state
who knows him. He is the embodi.
ment of brains, tact, untiring energy
and devotion to principle, progress and
development, and is the very hardest
kind of worker at anything in which
he engages, and We bespesk for him q
solid support from the right source"

pie provision made for collecting as
sesments on private property facing or

ton IL provides that until the council
prlvides for rk-house, all Migrants,
gamblers, prostitutes and disorderly
persons, when their punishment is by
fine or Imprisonment or both, may
be ordered to the county poor farm If the
county commissioners can agree with
the council as to the terms of keeping
them. Females are prohibited from
working on the farm, which to the aver.
age mind is by no means wise. 1t is
presumed the section means to say that
these delinquents may be ordered to the
poor farm if they do not pay their fines,
but it fails to express the idea.
The fiscal year is made to commence
at II o'clock on the third Monday in
April. No city officer is to have over
$500 salary, hut the assessor and col
lector, who is allowed, $1,000 per annum.
AS there has been considerable discus
sion and litigation concerning the right
to tax street railways, the extent thereof
and the general requirements there
from, we extract largely from the bill
on that subject, which will be found in
another column.
The grading, mscaGamizing and side.

that the sections referring to them will
require separate mention. III the mean

in comparison with this reputed bill,
