Arlington Heights.

A large force of graders are at work on
Arlington Heights upon the site Of the pro-
posed hotel The management is careful
not to commit itself to any compromising
statements, but everything indicates that
this very desirable and greatly needed &C
QUESTION to Fort Worth and Arlington
Heights will materialize at an early date.
The directors of the Arlington Heights
electric railway are seriously contemplating
mountaineering their line from the bridge
to the lake, and inaugurating ten-minute
service to Arlington Heights, instead Of a
twenty-minute service as now exists.
Numerous attractions, in addition to the
boats, will be introduced into the park sur
rounding the lake, when Fort Worth will
have resort for the better class unequaled
by any city Of her class.

THE BOOMERANG BUSINESS.

The inquiry made of THE GAZETTE a
few days ago asking il under our
present commission law, the goveror
of Texas can blackmail the railroads
for any amount OF money he may
choose" is too preposterous to notice.
That men who are able to put few
sentences of English together in fairly
| good grammar, can believe such abom-
Unable rot as the query presupposes,
proves nothing but their own stupidity
and crazy preiudices. On the subject
of Hogg and the commission, such
mems reason has abdicated, stepped
| down and out, and madness has usurped
the throne. On that subject they are
utterly irresponsible, and fit objects of
pity. If they displayed the same de-
plorable lack Of sense and discrimina-
ton in other matters, they would be
nowhere safe but in llnatic asylum.
The HAZEL Dell cranks are specimens
OF a numerous gang. The species of
rabies wi tn which they are afflicted
took hold of several-in fact, large
numbered able-bodied patriots last
summer, and is still in possession of
many of them. 1t is as virulent as
ever in some of them, and from time to
time exhibits itself in curious forms
and ridiculous ways.
We saw or heard good deal OF it
during the sitting of the Legislature,
and at odd times since then. From the
very beginning it has-as it always
does-displayed the most extraordinary
faulty and recklessness. 1t never
looks before it jumps. Indeed, it has
no eyes, and is constantly and invaria-
bly, tumbling into holes and pitfalls
and breaking its bones over varied OBJ
stacles in its mad chase after an imagi-
nary foe.
Consider for example, the several
foolhardy attempts to destroy Hogg as
a candidate last summer and fall,
which it drove some very astute poll
ticians to make. Every such attempt
proved to be a veritable boomerang
that did far more injury to themselves
than to the object of their hatred.
Other rash and ill-considered moves
were made for the same purpose during
the legislature, and what became OF
them? Nor did they cease with all
these numerous and disastrous fail
ures. The mania continued undated
in many OF them, and what they could
not do directly, they resolved to at
tempt in roundabout and circuitous
manner. Attacking in front was
changed to a flank movement That
movement is in progress now at Gal
weston, where they have tried to bat
ter down the walls and reach the gov
ernor's castle. They have invoked the
power of the state, the legislature with
its sergeant-at-arms to aid them, and
what have they done? Nothing, prae-
tically, but to expose their own folly |
aud faulty. They have done them
selves far more injury than they have |
the governor. In fact, they have sim
ply repeated the old madness of hurl-
ing the deadly boomerang with the |
usual result. Heaven pity them,
