THE San Antonio Express remarks,
that "the Dallas Merchants exchange
had no trouble in securing meetings
in the interest of Galveston lately, but
the HERALD seems to think that prod
ding is necessary to get that b0dy to do
anything in the interest of Dallas. At
any rate, it prods. 1t seems to believe
that Dallas will go backward instead of
forward If the moneyed men do not
make an effort to secure new and need
ed railroad connections" TAe Express
reflects tho opinions of the HERALD
There is not gentlema n, who is inter
ested in the progress and advancement
of Dallas, whs will suffer his name pre-
scented as a candidate for director or
officer of the Merchants exchange at
tho next election, in April, because the
present officers have shown no inclina'
ton to work for the interests Of this
city. Let a proposition favoring Calves.
ton or any other city in the state be pro
scented, and the officers of the exchange
would almost break their necks to favor
1t. The HERALD challenges any Of the
present officers of the exchange tC
show where they have done anything
for the benefit of Dallas.

The spectators who went long on
wheat in view of the wars across the
the ocean, appear to have gotten
1t is the gamblers in grain
alone who are sufferers in this case and,
therefore, no mourners are recorded in
connection with the collapse, outside of
the actual victims. The surplus of wheat
brought down prices last summer to
point under anything ever before
known in this country. On March 80, 1888,
No. 2 red wheat, in elevator at New
York sold at $l,2l per bushel. Nine
months afterward the same grade sold
in that city at so cents, and yesterday it
was only 80 cents. 1t is meddling that
causes these gaps in rates. Natural pro-
cesses, if permitted to operate, would
bring about fair compensation to the
farmer, and at the same time bring
grain to the consumer at living price
War is raging, and is not likely to abate
Wheat may be good thing to own, and
better prices are predicted. But there ii
a good deal of difference between own
ing the cash stuff in a granary ant
owning contract, on which margins
must be fed through waiting months.

UNIFORMLY IN SCHOOL BOOKS.


We reproduce an article this morning
from the Globe-Democrat that will give
our readers an idea OF the difficulties Mis-
souri, is now having over the matter of
school books. We commend 1t to the
careful consideration OF our members of
the legislature, who will, in all probable
ity, consider this same matter during
their present sitting. The mat
ter Of state uniformity sounds
we'll, but wherever tried has proved a
failure and extremely unsatisfactory to
the people whose interest it should
serve. In fact the danger lies in the
lobbery connected with IL. Missouri
has been trying the county system for
10 years and that has failed to meet the
ends and aims of those whom IL was the
intention to serve, so that
now the people are anxious to
to 80 back TO the district or community
system, but as soon as the matter OF a
change is suggested, there comes to the
front a lot of jobbers, IT is said, who
want the state system and are able and
ready to pay for 1t. Why? Because
they see In that system an opportunity
to establish grand monopoly
This being the case in other states, why
not In Texas, The community or dis
trict system, now In use in Texas, ma.
not please all, but Is the best that cal
, probably be adopted. At least we mus
, grant that in the past year, under It
working, the schools have been doin
splendidly. IL we must have chang,
, we would suggest that our legislator
stop with tho county system. 1t Wi
give greater satisfaction aud be the hes
a means Of preventing jobbery.

Gen. Hatch and tho Oklahoma Boomers.
WICHITA, Ks, Feb. 2S.- Gen. Hatch
arrived here from Arkansas City this
evening. In an interview, he said 20
companies were in the Territory
and that he will post his pickets on the
Salt Fork guarding every road leading
into Oklahoma and will prevent
the boomers from reaching their des-
tination. If they attempt to pass
through his lines their stock will be
killed and themselves arrested and
this time they will have trial. There
are three clerks busily engaged in tho
boomers Office at Arkansas CITY.
Cash receipts for membership, he
thinks, amount to about $l00 per
day. The greatest activity prevails
among the boomers. Every building
was burned by the troops last summer
and every fence cut down. The General
said his orders are iron-clad and will
! BIO carried out to the letter.
