TUESDAY, MAY, 9, 1888.
DALLAS AND ARKANSAS PASS.


The outlook for railroad building in
Texas never was so encouraging as II Is
today. The movement is toward Aran-
sas Pass as the deep water certainty for
western Texas, and in that movement
both Dallas and Fort Worth are heartily
joining. A decided change has come
over the spirit of the dreams INDUCED in
by Dallas since the oOnvOcation of the
state immigration convention In that
city, when the deep water resolution
was passed, vertically pledging Texas
to concentrate all her forces for the
benefit OF Galveston. That resolution
created the southwest immigration con-
vention, crystalyZed it into an organ
lied society and gave to the deep water
scheme of Arkansas Pass promi-
hence it had never before as
sumed. The connection OF north Tex
as with Denver and Kansas City
has led the citizens of the whole north
west to take deep interest in the ques-
tion Of an open port on the Texas sea-
board. Careful and quiet enquiry has
been made. and there is no longer any
doubt that such movement is now d.
rected toward Arkansas Pass as will ef-
fectually open that eligible port and
solve the question OF deep water at
Arkansas Pass in a way to astonish Gal
weston. The roads centering at Dallas and
Fort Worth from St. Louis, Kansas City,
Denver and the Missouri valley, are
heading for Arkansas Pass. The recent
charter OF the Improvement company,
with a capital of S2,O0O,OO0 is the direct
result of the interest taken in this mat
ter by the Kansas. Colorado and Ne
brasks trade. Dallas finds now that she
must abandon her policy of join
ing hands with Galveston to secure
a sea port and throws out feeler
towards the pass. The Times-HeraId
OF that city in late leader pays its re-
spects to Galveston greed in very
unusual style for that Journal, showing
that the deep water wind has evidently
shifted. From that editorial the follow.
ing extract is taken:
"There is this about the matter of q
deep water port for Texas and the
south west. That 1t is seriously needed,
there is no question; but WHERE it can
be obtained is a question. Galveston lie
q wealthy city with connecting In
fuenoes throughout the state, which
have always to this time counteracted
any advantage OF superiority In harbOr
or location of other points, possibly
more naturally suited for purpose OF sea-
port for the great southwest. That
great influence has included the
expenditure on Galveston sand bars
of enough money to have per-
fected a frst-class harbor at any
one OF the other ports, A giant and
greedy monopoly in the Galveston
Wharf company has grown fatter and
more exacting each year. because there
was no competing port city. With half
the state influence which has hereto
fore been thrown in favor OF Galveston,
directed In favor Of Arkansas Pass, it is
almost certain shat there would today be
no necessity for deep water oonVen-
lions. Having failed in the efforts Of

WHlTELAW REID ON BLAINE.


Directly in line with what was edi-
torially expressed in these columns yes
terdsy, is this statement from Whitelaw
Reid, concerning the relation of James
G. Blaine to the presidential nomina-
ton. In answer TO the question Of
Baine's candidacy Mr.. Reid says:
HE has done all in his power to pre-
vent it. He was perfectly sincere in
Withdrawing his name from considers
ton, and did it in good faith. He did 1t
against the earnest wishes and vehe-
ment protest Of every friend, so far as l
know, who had any idea of what was
impending. Mr.. Blaine has withdrawn
his name as a candidate, which was his
right. The party is engaged in consider
ing the names Of other candidates who
are offered under the prevailing volun-
teer system, and the convention will do
the same. If, after full consid
Grafton, 1t fails to find any
other candidate about whose strength
in the doubtful states it feels
an equal degree of confidence. it may
the critical period of the war, that the
that draft must be ordered, and see
no reason why Mr.. Blaine, more than
any other citizen who has sought and
received horors from his party, could
or should be excepted. If the presi-
dency Ia not an office to be sought, as
some say. it lie certainly not one TO be re
fused. do not know any public man
in the United States big enough to en-
deavor to refuse the greatest Office on
earth without making himself ridiculous
or worse"
These sentiments are directly with
those of Chairman Jones, who, while de-
nying that Blaine is candidate. or that
he has induced an aggressive movement
on their part, also denies that Blaine has
written a second letter declining the
nomination. The facts are that the sec
ond eported declination lies at Dana's
door and the New York Sun is directly
responsible for the false Impressions it
has created. 1t was based up
on mere expression Of opinion
uttered by republican. high in
James G. Blaine's confidence, and
expressly stated as an opinion only, and
not a declaration from Blaine, The
democracy are infinitely more exercised
over the naming of the republican can
didate than they are over their owU,
and while expressing in words their
hope that James G. B. will be In the
field are trembling in their brogans lest
the Plumed Knight should again enter
the field. There is music in the air and
the republicans are getting their &C
countrements FURNISHED up. When the
charge comes along the line next
November the old democracy will think
lightning has struck them. The fiat has
gone forth. The leaders make little
ference.

Had this extract appeared In the San
Antonio LIGHT or In any Austin paper It
would have created nospecial comment,
but appearing as it does In the leading
evening journal of northern Texas, and
in Dallas at that, it is significant. In
the article above there was also sharp
arraig nment of the Dallas News for Its
attacks upon the motives Of those who
were working In the interest Of other
seaports, and particularly for its charge
OF conspiracy against the Arkansas Pass
Improvement company for endeavOring
to secure a treasury appropriation for
the Pass. The leaven works. Galveston

north Texas joins San Antonio for deep

will not be found at Galveston bar,

where nature had placed insurmount-
able obstacles. 1t will be found at Aran-

bitches It's mules to this ark of old fog

tune:
There is no reason why 1t should not.
The Republican is staunch friend OF
Texas. 1t is rs thoroughly posted on
Texas politics and other affairs as any
home paper, and as to its editorial
ability, it is 80 far superior to that editO-
rial abortion, the Globe-Democrat, that
they should not be mentioned in the

Will the Examiner rest his mules long

he would call live journalistic baby?

Land from which the first crop
has been taken already, says the
PionghmGn, should not lie idle dur
ing the remainder of the season
and Gil with weeds. The busiest
farmer cannot afford to neglect the
smallest plot Of this kind. AS
soon as the first crop is harvested,
the ground should be ploughed
lightly and fertiized, and made
ready for some plant that will ma

favorite as second crop, but others
can be used 20 equal advantage.
