the Denver country, and so they tele-
graphed Bowie, Henrietta, Wichita
Falls, Vernon and some other points to
send man TO Dallas at once to confer
with the board of trade. Did they notify
Decatur, Alvord, Sunset, Rhome and
other towns adjacent to the Denver
road7
No, they did not, and why. Because
they know that Decatur and the other
towns before mentioned were not IN sym
patty with Dallas, and would not ao-
cept their propositions. Decatur has
been patiently waiting for some time to
get even with Dallas for the shabby
treatment received ut her hands, and
when the time came Decatur sailed in
and gave Dallas a black eye. If Dallas
wants an outlet to the Panhandle why
don't she build a railroad into that
country, she certainly has had good in
dueements to do so. 1t hasn't been but
a very short time since Decatur offered
her $40, 600 and right of way through the
county if she would build her
projected road through this city.
But no, she had her eye on Fort
Worth and was determined TO defeat the
road from that city to the northwest, and
so she begun building the Dallas, Pacific
and Southeastern out of pure spirit of
rivalry and the result is they have an
uncompleted roadbed Of fifty miles in
length; q monument to her folly, an
elephant on her hands that will continue
so till the end of time. 1t seems to us
that for selfshness, pure and unadulter-
ated, Dallas is certainly IN the lead.
There has been no less than half dozen
railroads surveyed through this county
from Dallas, and yet they have never
put down cross-tIe in the county.
You ID better shake yourself Dallas, and
go west and grow up with the country.

ST. PAUL Dispatch: Down in Sioux
Falls, S. D., a newspaper man appears
to have created quite sensation. Why
he should be held responsible for Great
ing q sensation does not appear. ne
merely published parts of the records of
court, embodying a complaint in di-
vorce case. The delusion appears to ex-
ist on the part OF a great many people
that a newspaper man, when he ayails
himself of his undoubted rights and dis
charges his undoubted duty, in giving
the public the knowledge of their own
business. transcends IN some sense the
obligations Of his position and duty to
society. If there were no call for COM
plant in this particular case there would
have been no complaint, and therefore
no publication of the complaint. If
those who critIeise newspapers for the
publication of the news would be a little
more careful in the creation of the news
there might be a great deal less IN hap
piness in the world.

THE GRAY-SHEPARD SUIT.
The Claim of $500 Damages Receives 6
Temporary Setback by an Opinion
Of Judge Lawrence
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May 19.-The suit of
Frank s. Gray against Col. Elliott F
Shepard for $500 damages for alleged
breach of contract, received temporarily
a setback this morning. Judge Law
renee denied plaintiffs motion for bill
for particulars as to incompetency and
iucompatibility of Gray, which Col.
shepard's answer set up as de-
fence to the action of plain
tiff, formerly business manager
of the Nail and Express, and on discharge
a few months ago brought suit alleging
Shepard engaged him IN 1888 for term
of five years at q salary of $1,000 year.
Defendants answer alleged Gray had
been discharged because of Iuoompeteney
and ineompstibility of temper. Plaintiff
moved for a bill of particulars, and
Judge Lawrence. in his opinion, handed
down this morning, says: ''Notwith-
standing the very liberal provisions of
the code of civil procedure in regard to
granting men bills of particulars, am
of the opinion that this is not a
case in which the power of the
court should be exercised in favor
of plaintiff. In brief, the defendant,
negatives the performance of various
conditions of the contract by averring
that plaintiff did not perform said con-
tract but violated the same. 1 do I'M
derstand it is the offiee of q bill of par
tioulars to enable the party appealing for
it to ascertain evidence which his oppon-
ent will produce and rely upon at
trial. Defendant has advised plaintiff
of the nature of the evidence, which he
will be called upon to meet, and
that is all which the plaintiff can
demand

SENATOR COKE in his speech in con-
gress upon the silver bill, drew his
strongest argument against its passage
from the one man power such legisla-

bill made a law would give the secretary
of the treasury sole discretionary power,
and that the coinage of silver would rest
entirely upon his affirmative position and
that he was not willing to entrust such
power in any living man.
