600 cattle. $4,000 slaves and about SUM-
COO ss yo- king capital, all of which he
doubled before his death. Cyrus, the
ancient king of Persia, had, at one time,
p band Of 10000 horses, bunch of cattle
numbering 10000, something like 100000
sheep, l5,OOO burrO5 and about $4,000
hired hands, otherwise known as slaves.
This great ranch hero had surplus Of

never cared much whether school kept or
not.
A San Marcos special says: The Texas

NJ. Dnbose, of Houston, and Rev. L. o.

spirits. have leased the Chautauqua
grounds this season, and the assembly will

river, and command fine view of the
surrounding country. Preparations are
also being made for those who wish to in

The Dallas Times Herald is severe. 1t
says:
The more the letter of Judge Terrell is
examined the more the gall of it to those
who do not know him. By what method
of reasoning has he arrived at the point
where he can issue commands accom-
panied by threatsp Wherein has he been
established in the peoples graces that he
can presume to speak for them? At what
time have they made him leader to
speak for them? These questions will
perhaps occur to everyone who does not
know him. The Times Herald can ex-
plain for him. He is of the opinion that
ITO WOl lllO lt5D SbuuIOIltl ny anu
Times Herald does not disagree with him.
He made it on nearly the lines that he is
now following. He was not as severe
then as now. He did not dub those VINO
oppose him as hirelings. He generously
accorded every man his views and COM
plimented him with the character of
honesty in maintaining them. He fought
openly and in a manly way, and he had
a menly support. Reagan appeared
on the scene with the victorious
wreath of the interstate law battle
on his brow. He overshadOwed Terrell as
a reformer in the matter of railroad legis-
lation, and took from Terrell that sup
port to which he was entitled by his fight.
Terrell knows this. Though beaten for
the office, he considers himself the leader
of the idea. Hence,he speaks as a leader,
giving orders here and there, and threat
ening those who disobey his injunctions.
The fault with those commands will be
found in the manner of their utterance.
Because those to whom they are issued
consider themselves too high in rank to
be addressed as Terrell addresses them.
They will resist his right to scold. In the
case of Coke, that gentleman will produce
a speech or two made long before Terrell
posed as a champion of dry stocks, in
which he Coke advocated wringing the
water out of them. The senator will re-
sent this assumed bossism. The war is
made. Terrell will be a candidate. Coke
will also be candidate. Others will come
in, and then, as this paper has before re-
marked, it can lay its finger on the next
senator.
