WHEN there is abuse to censure, the
HERALD is ready to take the lead.
When a question of principle is invol-
we'd, the HERALD will defy the powers
and stand for the right regardless of
the strife it may create. And when
the good of the city to be furthered,
the HERALD will never be found
wanting. We do not believe in max
ing political issues where none exist.
We think the citizens regardless of
party should get together in every
thing that has to do with the advance
ment OF the city, and the HERALD will
stand with the rest and do its best to
further such plans. Now in the
matter of the corner stone celebration,
all sorts of reasons have been advanced
why some fancied political considera-
tions should discourage it. The
HERALD denounces all such attempts,
and calls upon the people to join in
making this suitable celebration. It
is not question of expense half as
much as it is one of organization,

Texan Surprised Them.

New Orleans States.
Among the lawyers in attendance at
the supreme court this week there ap-
peared an old gentleman from Mar
shall, Texas. Rather ordinary in dress,
on crutches, he rose to close the argu-
pent in the case of James Young vs..
the T. and P. railroad company. The
chief justice, prompted by q generous
sympathy, told Major James Turner
for that is his name-to sit during the
argument, but the e. liant old one
legged veteran respectfully declined.
1t was his first appearance before the
supreme court OF Louisiana. True, he
had earned fame as one of the ablest
lawyers of the State of Texas,
but here was stranger aud unknown.
In few minutes, however. he secured
the earnest attention of the court.
With simplicity of statement, clearness
of language, oblivious of his surround
ings. he soon satisfied the court that he
was q master of the principles of law
involved in the case. His droll recapi-
tul alton of the evidence OF one of the
witnesses in the case convulsed the at
tending lawyers with laughter and
even the placid and attentive counten-
ances of the judges wore broad smile.
He was warmly congratulated by the
lawyers and the judges of the court;
one of whom said it was one of the
ablest arguments he had ever listened
to in that courtroom,

public spirit, and hard work. Join
hands and pull together for success.

THE effort of the democrats-the
gang democrats-to make political ca
pital out of MagOfin's surrender
and the surrender OF the
city council the other night Is laugh
able and pitiable. The administration
went into the deal with eyes open.
Magoffin, having five days in which to
consider the matter and find out the
desires of the citizens, signed the al
legged contract before he had his morn
ing nip, or very soon after. Public
spirit-Bah! He and his friends did
their best to balk the desires OF the
people, and when they were held up
and forced to retract they backed out
as gracefully as they could. No, gen.
tlemen, the less you say about "true
democracy" and "public spirit" the
better II will be for you. When you
get the people to laughing at you, you
are gone.

A Good Organization.

Richmond Ttmes.
The newspapers of this community
have for long time been trying to
impress upon the people Of this com mu-
nifty the Importance ofpatronizing home
industries. They have urged shoppers
to buy from Richmond merchants and
have urged Richmond merchants to
buy and sell home manufactures.
They have also tried to make shoppers
considerable and induce them to shop
early go that shopgirls would not have
to stay in the stores until late hour
in the evening. We hope that these
publications which have been
had good effect, but in order to carry
out any plan of this character organiza-
tion ia necessary, and the good women
of the community have now come up
to the aid of the newspapers with an
organized movement which we believe
will bring about the desired result.
AS mentioned in the Times of Sun
day the Consumers League Of Virginia
has been organized, whose object Is to
induce shoppers to patronize Richmond
merchants and also to confine their
shepp day 20 so ' that the eD's stores
may close earlier. The ladies
who have undertaken this very laud-
able enterprise have no thought of
compelling anybody to do anything.
They do not ask anything of the shop
keepers and no shop-girl is eligible to
membership. They do not propose to
make Determinations. They propose
simply to educate the shoppers. They
propose to organize the shoppefs and
to secure from each member q pledge
TO do her shopping before the even
ing hours, and that wherever it Is
possible to do so to make her purchase
from Richmond stores.
The women of the community are
the shoppers of the community, and
this matter is in their own hands. If
they will all join the league and agree
to abide by the conditions imposed. they
will accomplish q great work. No fee
is asked of any member, and the other
condition of membership is that the
shall subscribe to these
simple obligations. We wish tie Con-
League abundant success.

BUFFALO took q notion that she
wanted to have a pan-American EXPOSE
ton. The first day the soliciting COM
mittee tried to secure sub
scriptions, over half mil
lion dollars was pledged. The
following is 80 timely in view Of the pro-
verbal inability of Ell Paso people to
get together for any sort of celebration
or entertainment that it is reprinted.
The Buffalo Express says:
The subscription list for the pan
American exposition now foots up over
500, 900, and the provisional commit
tee knows where to get the rest of the
million.
It will certainly be in hand before
the close of this week.
The same good symptoms are OBJ
served in the subscription. The rich
men have not stopped giving, but the
poor men are giving more vigorously
than ever. The swsy in which rich
and poor have come together for the
common good shows why Buffalo is
great aud why it is destined to be
greater.
And it is all Buffalo money thus far.
The show will benefit all western New
York, but none of the neiRhboring
cities and villages have contributed up
to date. Neither have any of the out
eide corporations, etc., which make
their money out of Buffalo.
Buffalo has become acquainted with
itself for the first time this week. Il
will have confidence in itsei: for the
future that will oemolish all obstacles
in the path of progress.

Dear Sir:-I was some what |
surprised when you requested |
me to write a letter on that all
important subject Dancing.
ONow my dear sir l do not wish
to go on record as "a champion
for the art of dancing, yet l do
not desire that any one would
believe that 1 consider dancing
sinful.
However l do not loose sigh t
of the fact that under certain
conditions dancing may be and
often is sinful. This happens
only when dancing is abused,
but the mere fact that some
people abuse dancing, it does
not follow that others have
not follow that others have tn e
privilege to condemn the use of
dancing, for if such were true
then all things should be con-
demned, for there is nothing un.
der the blue canopy of heaven
that is not abused Aye even
the grace of God is abused and
if the good people who are al
ways condemning things be.
cause Of their abuse should fol-
low their own logic they should
necessarily coDdemn the grace
of God because it is abused.
Now for the enlightment of
those who condemn dancing as
sinful | will refer them to the
. Holy Scriptures (Which they
claim to follow and there they
may read Gf they wilD where
dancing was indulged in and is
also sanctioned If these peo
pie are ignorant of the eXis t.
ence Of these texts of scripture
they have been condeming with
out Il sufficient knowledge of
the Holy Scriptures, and if the Y
f they were cOndemning dancin G
, as sinful, they assume to know
, more about dancing than God
Himself. Some people go sc
far as TO condemn the Sacra.
, ment of the Altar because wine
f IS used, but these fanaticaI
cranks seem to think that they
know more than Jesus Christ.
+ Now hope the texts or scrip
