DEAR HERALD: You did quite right
in cutting out the fact that l said pre-

OCCASIONALLY.
The Limestone New Era says that
the editorial hand OF Colonel Elliott Is
now plainly visible in THE DALLAS
HERALD. The New Era might have
added chat IL Is occasionally applied
vigorously to tue Dallas tail OF the
Galveston News.-LCorsicaua Obser-
yer.
A CoEUR DE LEON.
What THE DALLAS HERALD says OF
General Cabell is pretty strong en-
dorsement, but wo are not aware that
it is TOO strong. The general was ono
OF tho fighters Of the Trans Mississippi
department, aud his bravery was of
the C9ur do Leon type.-ISan Antonio
Times.
THANKS.
THE DALLAS HERALD is one of our
oldest and most highly esteemed ex-
changes. Now that Colonel Elliott ia
once moro restored TO ths position OF
editor in chief, he will breathe into it
new and vivid life, which will tide
it over all opposing torce.-[Sherman
Democrat.
LEASE LAW AND MONOPOLY MUST GO.
Texas newspapers can avail nothing
in trying to induce immigration Of
farmers so long as cattle syndicates
control the unsettled portions OF the
State. The lease law must 20 and
land monopoly will follow just behind
it, Whitesbnro News.
A COMING MAN.
A southeast Texas paper dominates
Horace Chiffon as u Aucceqsor of Sena-
tor Maxey. Horace is in all respects
worthy the proposed honor; he is
young, and can wait. The future is
pregnant with honors for the gifted
son OF noble sire; he will get thero
later on Laredo Times.
THEDI ALTERAM PAETEE,
1t is not the men who sell whisky
that we propose TO war against. 1t is
the laws governing its sale and against
the use and sale OF the stuff itself that
we are opposed to. Our columns arc
open-let both sides be freely dis
cussod-then let tho people be heard ct
the ballot box Ranger Chief.
OUR SCHOOL FUND.
Mark The school fund apportionmeut
for Texas; $500 per capita! Only by
gross mi5managementC can such q fund
fail to provide good school facilities,
save in the very spgrssly settled dis
tricts. With that fund and Door
schools, the people themselves will be
to blame. San Antonio Express.
DEEP WATER.
Texas needs deep water seaport
she needs it and must have ii. IL p3r-
manent deep water can be secured at
Galveston we shall rejoice and con-
graduate the people Of that city on
their luck. But if IL can be had quicker
and cheaper somewhere else there
Texas must have deep water AlvG.

HOW II MAY BE wITHERED.
The Galveston News may set tho
Trinity con fire." but the prospects are
not favorable. If the CiishOOt ahould
be as conservative as the parent tree it
will wait until IL gets acclimat9d be-
fore II spreads out very much, Too
much "go" without thorough SCcli.

extinction Is only question Of time.
1t is very hard for people TO abandon
old habits and oustoms,-lB Brennan

AsULPHURoUs ATMOSPHERE.
II it should DO ultimately discovered
that the "branoh" was only estab-
lisbed ut Dallas to aid Galveston in
getting her hooks IN on that T,50O,O00

confidently look for tho atmosphere in
the neighborhood of the Three Forks

AVOID MoNOPoLIEs,
The cattle barOns arc greatly oppos-
cd TO "lree grass" for the grass would

want is the wease lawN for then not
less than 10000 families, or 100000 poo

acres OF land, and add a dozen cattle
syndicates, lew COW boys and
wild cattle would alone occupy this
vast domain. II Denton Monitor.
LAY on MAC DUFF.
The Houston Herald sails into the
managers Of tho Post with an junction.
evidently born Of massive hatredi
before which ono stands appalled,.
We have no disposition whatever TO
take sides with either party. Both

emphatic enthusiasm: "Lny on Mac

shall cry, hold, enough. p Waco ES'

CoBsIcANA, THE COMING CITY.
It is CcrsiCaun that holds a"lul
hand" on oho p freight rates. Cotton
planters would do well TO bear this In
mind. "On TO Corscana!" must he
the rallying cry in the future. Corsi-
cana Is tho burg that Is able TO put NJ
or shut up. IL looks like business
when you see tho largest agricultural
implement and machinery house n
Central Texas situated az Corsicana.-
