Leading Democrats throughout
the country still busy themselves in
the work of constructing cabinets
for the president they have been
successful in olccting, and the Dem
ocrats in Congress seem more any

~ LET IT BE DONE.

Citizen and taxpayers appeal to
the General Assembly for an appro-
priation to the building and appa-
ratus of Delaware College is both
clear and strong, and ought to be
irresistible. We publish it with
pleasure and call special attention
to ii. The State has been the recip-
lent of doubte bounty. The gen.
eral government gave her $4,000
with which to establish college,
and the Board of Trustees of the
College gave her buildings, grounds,
libraries, and apparatus, valued ac-
cording to the lowest estimate at
$4,000, in order that she might be
able to use the congressional grant.
The Trustees of the re-organized in
stitution have conducted it for four
teen years without any aid from the
State, and ii seems to us that by
every principle of honor, justice and
right, the Legislature should do
something now when it is absolutely
necessary for the purpose of fulfill
ing the contract made by the State
with the general government. With
the means given to it the college has
done well. The opportunities af-
forded for education have kept thou
sands Of dollars in the State which
otherwise would have been drained
from her annually. Then numbers
have been educated here who could
not have commanded the means to
go beyond the States borders.
Then, again, look at the number
of teachers supplied to the free
schools by this college. In a State
without a normal school this fact is
one of great importance. AL ex.
perience shows that no people car
ever continue to have good public
schools unless there are convenient
to them colleges or institutions o
higher learning.
Hence, we think the sum of SIS, OO(
annually for two years would be {
very moderate and reasonable
amount to appropriate, and we sin
cerely trust that the worthy AM
honorable members of the Genera
Assembly will see the subject in thi
light.

THE great iron firm of Oliver Bros.

Their creditors met a few days since
and made satisfactory arrangements.
The firms assets exceed their liza

We have taken an account
OF Stock and have found we

by far too many goods, They
are all good, stylish garments,
but we want more Cash and

them into CASH. In taking an

We prefer to give our custom

ALMOST every paper we read CON
tains shocking accounts of dastardly
outrages committed by tramps. 1t
appears that they are all over the
country, and bent on escaping from
labor, and committing hellish deeds
on defenseless women. What a
blessing it would be to rid the earth
of this class of mortals. No one
would mourn, and many would be
exceedingly glad.

SHOULD Senator Bayard if invited
to do so enter the cabinet of Prcsi-
dent-elect Cleveland? Some think
he would be of more use in the
Senate. We do not agree with this
opinion. There Mr.. Bayard would
be talker and Il good talkcr, too,
but what the country wants now is
good action. Mr.. Cleveland. although
Il wise man, cannot make good
administration without a good cabi-
net. 1t is said if Mr.. Bayard should
enter the cabinet and the admins
tration should become unpopular,
his future chances for the Presidency
would be injured. To that it may
be replied that a failure of the Dem
ocratic administration will certainly
lead TO the reinstatement of the Re-
publicans in power, and neither Mr..
Bayard's candidacy nor that of any
other Democrat can prevent it. 1t
is to be hoped that Mr.. Bayard will
be invited to the cabinet and help to
diyise good measures for the relief
of the people, and then let the Re
publican majority of the Senate
take the responsibility of rejecting
them, if they dare. We do not be-
licve they will do so.

UNDER the head "Coming to Their

beavers to impress its readers with the
idea that the HERALD is inimical to
Fort Worth and her substantial inter-
ests, alleging that II has treated the
Port with contempt, Tho HERALD con-
fosses its amaEement at so unfounued n
charge and hestens to correct it. As
much interest is felt for that city as for
any of the surrounding Texas cities,
and the HKEALD feels as much pride in
her progressive advancement as in that
of Sherman, Denison, Gainesville, Ter
roll, Clebure, orany Of the surrounding
ambitious little towns, No Jealousy Is
entertained towards the Fort and the
side-show spatting between the HER

AND STILL THEY COME.

Nearly all the wide-awake journa Is of
our northwestern counties, and there is
there as wids-awake press az the state
affords, have responded promptly and
emphatically TO the HARALD's utterances
on the subject of direct railway con-
nection between their section and Dal-
las. In fact the expressions OF public
spirit and enterprise, the seemingly
marked desire to be placed in closer re.
latlons with this city aud the liberal
support promised Dallas in the event OF
the inauguration OF the bona fds north
western railway line, have astonished
us as greatly as they hsveproven graft
flying and encouraging.
One by one the press there has made
such responses as indicated and yet
they ars not through their remarks on
the subject. On the 9TH last. the Rural
Citizen, of Jacksboro, one OF tho most
reliable journals of its entire section, af-
ter copying an article from this paper
in reference to the prompt and
liberal utterancea of the Decatur Post
promising Decatur's liberal aid, says:
"Jacksboro will do the same for road
from Decatur, or, In fact, the first road
from any point. We would like to see
something tangible and then we are
ready TO move. Jacksboro is q small
town, but never does anything by
halves in the way of liberality, Let
Dallas and Decatur, or any Other city in
Texas, put up funds to built road to

you will sec Jacksboro putting up In
proportion with any city ON the line.
Railroad capitalists will find no more

we have more natural inducements for
railroads than any other one town in

HOW TO SECURE LAND

AS by tho veto of tho land bill passed
by the Nineteenth Legislature, the Land
Board is still in charge of the state
lands and manipulating the disposition
OF the same, it win be interesting tc the
general pUblicoo read the resolution re-.
Gently adopted by the board, and pub.
lished this morning under the heading
Chow to Secure Land" Known 40 res
olutiOn IL, it supercedes and materially
changes the old rule known as resolu-
ton Z. Under resolution 7 all lands,
whether for sale or lease, had on one
day, or by O'Clock p. IN. OF certain
day rather, TO be applied for, and then
wore put up on the next day to com
petitive bidding. No other lands were
put up tor competitive sale or lease,
except such AZ had been previously APP
Piled for and the application filed with
tho surveyor.
Under this new resolution other lands
can be cold than such as have been
before applied for, provided the appli-
cant applies for one section only OF az
riculturel land, which he can purchase
at tho minimum price of 81 per acre.
Otherwise sales and leases are conducted
bv competitive sale, RS under resolution
Z. Under resolution II and person
can purchase three sections for grazing
and one section for agricultural pur-
poses. Then again, not moro than one
section of leased land shall be sold TO
any one person.
Under this new resolution, any one
applying to purchase, as above, for
homestead purposes, must accompany
his application with an oath, the princ;-
pal stipulation Of which Is that the pur
chase is In good f9ith and "not TO inure,
in whole or in part, by lease or pur-
chase, in any other manner whatever,
to the benefit of any other person, firm
or corporation" There is also the fur
Their modification OF existing law in the
following:
"Resolved further, That hereafter the
minimum price for lease of dry lands
shall be @ cents per acre per annum, aud
that leases will be made under competi-
ton according to the old regulations),
and that no watored lands are ON tho
market for sale or Lease" These are tho
chief changes and regulations in this
new aud latest resolution Of the land
board, which is published this morning.
The resolution will be read with inter.
est by those wanting Texas lands.
