THE DALLAS FAIR.
A Statesman Reporters Opinion
From Personal Observation,


From Personal Observation.
Many Austin people have, in the last
two seasons, visited the city of Dallas
during the "Falr and Exposition" and
now, as the opening day of the third ex-
position is almost within hailipg distance,
all of our citizens who have been there
before and many others are preparing to
make visit to Dallas. Most of them will
be there during the entire three weeks of
the fair, and, for all who go, the citizens
of Dallas are holding ont the greatest in
ducements, and are busily preparing for
their entertainment the grandest fair and
exposition ever held in the southwest.
In a recent visit to Dallas representa-
tive of The STATESMAN met the president
of the Fair association, Mr.. j. S. Arm
to and through the association
grounds. The arrangements made
by the association for tbs accommoda-
tion of the exhibitors and visitors are
perfect to the minutest detail. 1t would
seem that nothing has been left undone
that could be done to insure the perfect
success of the exposition. The arrange
ments for
THE STOCK EXHIBIT
are most complete. Such was the sue
cess of this feature Of last years fair that
more than month ago the directors
found by the number of applications for
entry being made, that the accommoda-
tions of last season would be far too lin
tied for this year, and new stalls and pens,
in great number, have been added. The
display of horses, cattle, sheep and fowl
this season will the largest ever seen in
Texas.
COUNTY EXHIBITS.
The directors this season have seen the
advantage to be derived in having, for
those of The counties who wished
to make County exhibits, sepa-
rate houses for their display,
and several neat buildings have been
erected and are filed with tasty exhibits
of the products of the counties they rep
resent. These exhibits will prove one of
the most interesting features of the fair,
showing, as it does, the respective values
of the different counties of the state.
The large and commodious
MAIN BUILDING
will, of course, be the center of attraction
for many of the visitors. For more than
a month exhibitors and decorators have
been busily at work arranging the display
of goods and putting the interior in
holiday attire. This year the display will
exceed that of any previous exhibition
ever given in the state, and will in itself
be fully worth the cost of visit to the
fair. Just across the entrance drive
from the main building is the
MACHINERY HALL,
in which exhibits of peculiar
interest to every farmer in the
state and to every citizen
of our cities will be seen. The rapid ad-
vances made. in recent years in the manu-
facture of labor-saving machinery, partic-
ularly in those adapted to the needs of
this section of the country, give an ex-
ceptionally fine opportunity for displays
in this line, and it may safely be conject-
ured that the exhibit at the Dallas fair
will be an exponent of the progress in
this line and highly interesting and in
structive to all.

Severely Cut.

Mr.. Louis Brown, one of Ed Haigler's
right hand men, while Strengthening cattle
yesterday very severely slashed his left
foot open with long keen knife he was
using. Doctor Swearingen was called and
dressed the wound, which is very serious
one.

open up splendid field fer the employ
ment of our penitentiary convicts. They
can perform nearly all the manual labor
required and conflict with no one, but will
benefit every man, woman aud child in
the state.
This is no Utopian or visionary scheme.
It's perfect pract1csbility and successful
operation has been fully demonstrated by
the people of Holland, who in 1876 com
pleted a ship channel from the city of
Amsterdam, on the Zuider Zee, clear
across the peninsula of North Holland
Into the North sea, a distance of sixteen
miles, into which the large sea going yes
sells enter direct from the sea, and pass
over land in perfect safety to the city of
| Amsterdam, 1t is unnecessary to state
that ships when passing through this
channel are as we'll protected from the
storm as they would be if housed in the
docks of Liverpool. The work to accom-
plish this great enterprise consisted in
building a dixie to separate the waters of
the Zuider Zee from the Y, which is
kind of bay or lake extending far up into
the peninsula, through which the channel
had to be dug, and all the water from the
pumped out, thus retaining $4,000
acres of land; and secure and ample
harbor was formed by piers of concrete
built into the North sea. The total ex-
pense amounted TO about f2,00O,OOO.
The breakwater at Cherburg, France, was
completed under Napoleon III. in 1858 at
cost of 60 100000, but since that year
large Notifications have been built upon
the upper works. The breakwater is
nearly two and a half miles in length, is
300 feet wide at the bottom and 81 feet al
the top. "The chief mass consists OF
rubble, or uushaped ston' FIR 'wu down
from ships" But large port q of is Is
wrought and finished masonry. consisting

ALGRR's BOOM.

TIE HERALD has received from the
"Alger Club, of Detroit,"a type writer
note calling its attention that the fact
"Gov. r. A. Alger, of Michigan, is oeing
prominently mentioned as candidate
for the Republican nomination for
President of tho United States" and
going on to say that while his friends
do not wish to interfere win any other
candidates boom, they "are anxious
that his record be made known to the
people generally" What purports to
be Ibis record" accompanies the circu-
lar in the form of a page biography, the
text of speech delivered by him at q
banquet in San Francisco, and collec-
ton of mplimentary press comments.
TIE HERALD is assured that if it will
use any portion of the matter sent, the
club will feel grateful" 1t is not
probable that THE HERALD's voice will
be influential either in the coming con-
ventions or the campaign. The paper
happens to be printed in the wrong
latitude and longitude TO materially aid
Or injure the chances of any Presiden-
tial aspirant; but it can say that if it
were all-powerful in this matter. and
if it were in no sense influenced by
partisan politics, Russell A. Alger, of
Michigan, would be among the last
men whose nomination TO the Office of
President of the United States it would
advocate. We have not forgotten
that a couple of years ago this
same Alger visited Salt Lake, where
he gave utterance to sentiments which
proved him to be either narrow
minded bigot or contemplate
demsgogue, and whichever he is he
ought not to be honored with the
nomination which he is spending some
of his millions to receive. His money
cannot make him great, and DOLLY great
men should be talked of in connection
with the highest Office in the nation.

PUBLIC BUILDING BILL.

The bill for the erection of public
building in this city has been intro
duced in the House of Representatives.
If the committee to which it has been
referred or Congress will permit a
showing to be made, it can be demon
strated that not only will it be an act Of
Justice 80 erect building here, but an
act Of wisdom on the part of the gov
ernmeat. The rents which the govern
ment pays amount to very nearly as
much as would be the interest on the
money which building large enough
to accommodate all the Federal officials
would cost. AS it is the public,
the officials and the business are
all Inconvenience by inadequate
room and ineligible location. If Utah
had vote in Congress the government
would long since have expended humid
reds of thousands for buildings in this
city. AS the Territory is without voice
or vote in the nation, and possesses no
political influence either in or out of
Congress, it is without Federal build
ing, and we fear is likely to continue
without for some time. In Congress
appropriations such as we ask go by
favor, or as the result of trades, but
very rarely On their merits. The ques-
ton with the average Congressman is
not what is right in the premises,
but what advantage is to be de-
rived from the appropriation? An
insignificant town in a State can
get public building if it happens to
have Representative who will promise
to vote for buildings for other places;
but a Territory, and especially Utah
asks favors with little expectation
that they will be granted.
We hope the public building bill! will
be urged for all that it is worth; if it
shall succeed, all well and good; if it
shall fail. it will only do as others have
done.

IT TRANSCRIPTS that MISS Fellows, the
Washington girl who has occssioned
so much talk by marrying the Indian
Chaska, is a. years old; in the light q
which fact no white man has the right
to complain of her action. When q
girl waits forty five years for some fell
low to come along and propose, and no.
body comes, it occurs to US that it is
adding insult to injury to say mean
things about her for taking advantage
OF leap year and en- untutored Indian
to get husband. In this connection il
has been suggested that Miss Fellows
considered a. half-breed as better than
loafer.
