HERALD OFFICE, Jan. 2l.-3:3O a. H.
Ispeeisl.l-Ths telegraphic news crop
at this point is very short this morning.
1t is hardly necessary to make this
statement TO the reader, but that's the
easiest way to start the subject.
IL looks very much, at this writ
ing, as if the fields devoted
to the regular cultivation of current
events for the public market would have
to be re- -plowed and second seeding in
augurated, something after the fashion
of putting IN spring wheat where the
fall sowing has proven failure. The
cultivators will have to come from the
Geographic service, as that is where
the trouble exists. 1t is reported thusly:
The most destructive sleet storm that
ever visited Texas prevailed
throughout the southern half
of the state on Monday and
Monday night, literally loading down
the wires with an icy formation until
they could hold up no longer and wide
spread prostration resulted. The HER
AID could get no legislative report
from Austin and but meagre
information from elsewhere. The
Western Union Office here reports
three miles of wire down at one point
between Hearne and Houston, besides
breaks between Houston and San An

San Antonio, and also in many
other localities. OF course, this state Of

Several gentlemen have united in a
movement for the organization of Gre
nation society in Baltimore, to build
and operate crematory for the inciner-
alton Of the bodies ofthe dead. Mr.. John
r. Rennous, who is taking an active in
terest in the project, said yesterday that
there are couple of clergymen and
several physicians who have expressed
their intention OF joining the society
aud only have their names Withheld until
the organization is assured. If fifteen
persons will join who will subscribe
from 5000 to $1,000 each, Mr.. Rennous
says, the crematory will be built near
the city after an approved model. He
says that he ia in favor of cremation for
the dead mainly for sanitary rea sons,
but also because of the large cost for fun
erals, which bears heavily on people
who have limited means. The idea i'm

and ideas advance, but it seems that no
solid footing can be obtained without
one or more retrograde movements.
For instance Republican principles
seem to be prevailing extensively in
Europe. Just as there seems to be a pros
pect of their adoption and spread, wild,
reckless counsels prevail and dynamit-
ism turns back the car of its progress.
so In our country, the opposition to
monopoly was being rapidly consoli-
dated when outrages,in the way of labor
strikes, occurred and bailled the wisdom
OF conservatism The socialistic
idea is engrafted on sound doc
trine, and there is a great setback
given grand idea. The granger ele
ment rather overdid it's work in por-
lions OF the land, and the grand sum-
ming up is that monopolies have not
been sverthrown, whilst the tampering
with capital has resulted in popular dis
tress. The HERALD has sometimes
thought, with all it's anti-monopolistic
notions, that there was too much inter-
ference with railroads. In fact, il
seems impossible to attempt to enforce
rational policy without running to
excess. Even the REAGAN bill, whose
end and purpose is so patriotic and
commendable, contains features to
which it is impossible for
many to subscribe. To one, especially
the HERALD alludes, but which will
not become statute. 1t is the provision
which would deny to railroad compan-
les the right to charge just what they
please on their own roads, provided they
do not charge unreasonably. This
could have acted most DISADVANTAGE
ously to Dallas, and appears to be q de.
NAL OF the right of company to do
what it pleases with its own prop
erty, even when it charges no I'M
reasonable rates. A maximum limit
should be fixed, and after that, it does
appear to the average mind that the rail-
roads have the right to manage for them.
selves.
An so ii goes in every department.. In
some states even the great idea of pub
lie education is being overwOrked. Too
much is included in the curriculum and
too great artili"iality employed in the
system. Yet these back-sets are not
permanent; they are not the current of
the great stream of progression and
only The eddies near the banks. In spite
of obstacles truth will ultimately tri-
umph, although apparently retarded.

A WAsHISoroN correspondent OF tn

MOVING IN CYCLES.

There is a never-failing theme for pc
riodical suffers, in the demonstration,
as they suppose, of the theory that there
is no substantial progress but that civil
ization loses In some respects what 1t
gains in others. One Of the most strik-
ing essays ever penned by mortal man
was read by john MITCHELL, tho Irish
patriot, TO the societies of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, as far back as 1858.
Nothing has been added to the argu-
ment since that effort.
Whilst this il perhaps flne-spun the
DRY, yet there is unquestionably moi
ETY. Of truth therein. The world moves

The Austin Statesman says: at is
SAID that EADs will withdraw from the
Galveston deep-water project, il this
congress fails to pass the bill lie pro-
poses. There are all sorts of forces used

motives had not induced him to make
millions out of the project.

A GENTLEMAN connected with the
White Elephant saloon in Fort Worth,
remarked to reporter, "You see all
these dead beats standing around here,
and it is safe to bet, not more than two
or three have dollar in their pockets.
They are all waiting for some green one
to come in and treat" The business
men Of that city, it appears, are getting
short of cash.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1885-01-21

A NUMBER of papers attribute the
HERALD's opposition to the EAD's
scheme to motives of jealousy.
Nothing is further from the truth. The
HERALD has always denounced the Re-
publicans for swindling the national
treasury out of millions upon millions
OF dollars, and it is not willing to en-
dorse the grandest swindle attempted
in the last decade. fhe Galveston at
tempt at spoliation exceeds that of any
other ever known in the history Of this
country.

THE fatality among the sheep and cat
tie in the stockrsising districts again
causes the HERALD to urge upon ranch
men the necessity for winter shelter. 1t
is absolutely ridiculous-nay worse, it is
inhuman to go into the stockralsing
business without providing against
billiards.. The very mildness of the
climate prepares the animal for imme-
date surrender to the marrow-freezing
blast as it sweeps over the unobstructed
prairie.
