The Dallas HERALD urges the pro-
priety of a railroad being built by the
state from north Texas to Sabine Pass.
We say so too Franklin Herald.
Senator Harrison would pass law
making it felony to conceal property
or transfer il to defraud creditors, be-
fore making an assignment. This is a
direct blow at the failure industry.
The Dallas HERALD proposes to call
Yeager, of the house, for trying to wear
the shoes OF the great rutabaga sena-
tor, the turnip of the house, because the |
top of that vegetable is very green

Who killed Sam Bass? The rangers,
Who stopped fence cutting? The ran
gers. Who put down outlawry in
Karnes and Chambers counties? The
rangers. Who captured the train rob-

The Dallas HERALD is acting phre-
nologist over the nineteenth legislature.
1t now has the case of Yeager in course
of progress, and has hit the mark dead
center every time so far Ennis Re-
corder.
1t really seems that the next guber-
material fight will be made between Col.
Ross, of Waco, with the chances in favor
of Crawford, as it is understood that he
will be tho "ring" candidate Free

The Dallas HERALD desires the opin-
. ion Of the Texas press on the PROPOSE
ton for the state to build, own and
operate railroads. Such an undertaking
would resultin bankrupt treasury and
dissatisfied people, [Terrell Star.

s The Mirror is of the opinion that the

The legislature seems to be thorough
imbued with the idea advanced and a
vocated by the Dallas HERALD to esta
