WHY DALLAS IS WHAT SHE IS.

great deal for its people and surround

terprise and trade, and our chief seat
of produce and commerce. There is
no dodging the fact that THE DALLAS
HERALD has been chiefly instrument
al. through all the decades of Dallas
history in procuring these fixtures, all
of which combined in tho seat OF pro-
duco and commerce makes Dallas the
ii great coming city OF Texas. In strict

feCta Dallas in the Same wHy that il

WHAT ABOUrlT?
The Paris Free Tongue tells Tho Gal
weston News that it never supported
such a man rs h. j. Davis for COVER

Democratic people OF North Texas
support such q paper? II tho merchants

so hard Tor many years, to make that

CANNOT SERVE Two MASTERS.
II hes been at last settled beyond all
question that the Galveston News has
decided on locating branch of that
paper in North Texas, and that Dallas
has been settled upon as the point, In
somewhat lengthy article the News
gives her reason for this step, which Ia
no doubt as she says, that the News
may reach its subscribers all over the
STATE the same day 1t is issued. No
one will deny that the News is good
paper, but we think with other gentle
mon of the press, that II has undorta-
ken rather TOO gigantic an affair. Yheo-
reticslly there IS something grand and
imposing ia newspaper rising like
an immense colossus with one loot in
the gulf and the other on the north
ern frontier of Texas, holding tho
reins Of tho balance Of power and d.
recting the destinies of the Stath from

this IS very fine in theory, but praCti-
cally we don't think II will work. The
