The Corsicana journal, published at
a point where competitive railroad ben
sfts exist and are appreciated, and
whore unbiased judgment on Dallas
would be likely to be entertained and
expressed, says: "The Dallas HERALD
has been berating the merchants of its
town for their inactivity in regard to
building more railroads to Dallas, and
extending others which would be of
great benefit, and enable her to main
tain her commercial supremacy. The
business men would do well to heed tho
admonitions of the HERALD" The inn
portance of more railroads for Dallas
appears to be recognized by all except
her own leading business spirits. How
much longer will it take for the same
idea to dawn upon their dull compre-
tensions?

THE Fort Worth Democrat says:
"The opinion seems to be gaining
ground that JAY GOULD has ordered
this reduction of wages on his roads to
cause strikes and throw men out of en-
ployment with the incoming of Demo
cratic administration. However absurd
the proposition appears on the face, tho
hand that he has taken in national poll
tiles for long time, tends to confirm
this theory. If socialism and commun-
ism can be fostered sufficiently to draw
large vote from the Democracy to an
agrarian party in 1888, there will be q
chance for GOULD to elect his pet clique
of Republican officials, and organize ga
strong government" in other words, a
rich mans government, to put down
the dangerous classes" made so by
his own acts" And yet the officials OF
the Texas a. Pacific road will cling
around Fort Worth as closely as the
scent of roses around broken vase.
