THE Galveston News is trying to cre-
ate the impression that Dallas is jealous
of that city. For the love of all that is
good, what is there about Galveston
that Dallas should be jealous OFF In
that city they have not deep water, and
very little pure water for domestic pur-
poses. Their trade is dwindling every
year and they have wharf monopoly
that is eating up the very vitals of the
place. Do tell what there is there to be
jealous Of, unless it is their exhorbltant
taxes?

PROF. w. f. CUMMINs returned yes
terday from an extended trip to the
west. He was along the Rio Grande,
through the counties of Ell Paso and
Preside, during his absence, and says
the cattle in those counties are doing
finely; very few have died during the
winter. He says that some stock has
been permitted to drift from the north
on to the staked plains and are dying
for want of water, but where the herds
have been kept on their ranges they
have never passed the winter in better
condition.

Conant Still Missing.

NEW YORK, Jan. 39.-Nothing has yet
been learned of the whereabouts of S. s.
Conant, the managing editor of Har-
per's Weekly. An editor of that peri
odical this morning received a letter
from the chief physician of the Pennsyl-
yania state asylum for the insane, stating
that late on Tuesday night man ap.
piled for admission to the asylum. He
said two Russians were pursuing him,
and he was newspaper man. In
height he was feet s inches, but that in
no other respect did he resemble Con-
ant. Pinkerton's detectives are no
longer working ON the case.

SEVERAL papers in the state are pub
fishing editorial paragraphs and cor
respondence of the HERALD as their
own productions. As favor, the HER
AID would ask these papers, for the next
two weeks, to give credit for the articles,
not that the HERALD cares about the
credit, but just to ascertain what other
paper they were clipped from,an which
had used them as editorials. They have
permission to use them as editorials
after the two weeks expire.

THE bill authorizing the employment
of women as clerks ia the several offices
OF the state government, it is thought,
will become law. 1t will be satisfac-

bly, be more attentive to their duties
and watchful of the public interests.

Once upon time in this country, when

suit. But now when pistol is drawn
and shooting begins everybody runs

THERE is more money in north Texas
now than there was one year ago-and
if not, why not? There were fair aver
age crops, both cereal and cotton. Prices
were remunerative, farmers and plan
tiers were generelly out of debt, they
have not purchased largely during the
past season. 1t is generally believed they
have enough money and to spare to pur-
chase all their summer supplies; the
banks have large sums stored away in
their vaults, and it does seem with all
these facts in view money is uunecessa.

other states and localities have caused

state promise to be exceptionally brisk

IT will sound strangely to people up
north to hear of fall and winter wheat
and oats freezing out, here in Texas.
In the more northern ATTITUDES where
there is regular winter for from six to
eight months and wheat and oats are in
the ground during the whole of that
period, there might be good reason for
saying wheat is frozen out, but here in
Texas, it denotes want of proper cul-
ture, for if the ground is prepared as it
should be, by deep ploughing, and the
seed well narrowed or drilled in there
should be no freezing out of crops in
Texas. The cause lies with the farm
ers themselves who do not properly
prepare and cultivate their crops.

THE only well defined cases of trichi-
nae ever reported in Texas occurred near
Rockdale few days ago. A negro fam
lily ate of fresh pork not well cooked, land
six died, after suffering much pain.
Physicians made an effort to save the
patients by cutting OUT the flesh in
which the animalculaI could be dis
tinctly seen. 1t is asserted by some sci
entists who have investigated the ORR
gin of trichine in hogs, that it is con-
tracted by eating rats, but this is not ac-
cepted by the medical fraternity as reli-
able. 1t is said pork well cooked, how
ever filled with trichin@, is not danger
GUS to life or deleterious to health.

II is singularly strange that in all the
other states where the German carp
have been introduced, they have been
pronounced fine eating, but in Texas
they are not appreciated, especially by
the members of the Legislature. These
Lawmakers have such tax upon their
brain power that it is really wonderful
that they don't subsist on fish. By all
means they should hold on to the fish
commission, from selfish considerations.

cellar discovered stratum of a peculiar
kind of clsvey soil. Some specimens of the
