THE ONLY ISSUE,
Prohibition, an ingeniously decep-
tive term, only proposes this by re-

cants to medicinal purposes. All

sale OF whisky at all involves it's sale

Notwithstanding The DALLAS HER.
AID Is tho largest daily paper pub
hshed in the State, yet it seems to
have but little space to devote to edi-
torial. Yesterdays edition contained
less than one column. The Mail would

timely and we'll written editorials, At
tho Same time 1t Is Of the opinion that
others or our morning contemporaries
could be improved by following The
example OF THE HERALD. Less edi-
torial and more late news would great

the popularity OF one or two morning

TRAMP IMMIGRATION.
Governor Ireland, like any other
good citizen, don't want any more
tramp emigrants. They bring moth.
ing, they do nothing, they fill oul
county jails and ponitentiaries and
thereby impose upon the tax payer a
burden that is felt from one genera.
ton to another. There is nothing w,
know OF to prevent good men from
coming to Texas. But 10 is not the
duty, nor is it expected, that the gov
ernor OF agreat State like Texas vii
engage IN begging people to come and
settle among us, IL our climate, soil
and sdaptabillty cannot influence
them To come, then In Gods namo lot
them stay where they are.-[DRlla'

THE SENATORIAL ASPECT.
The Fort Worth Gazette, like the
Galveston News, Is determined 10
make Governor Ireland our mex
United States senator. That letter o
the governors to Mr.. Baker on til,
subject OF emigration, and tho public
