TiintB can be no doubt that Dallas is
developing into a great trade centre and
it will not bo long before her immense
business will attract the attention of the
whole country. It cannot bo denied
that wholesale merchants here arc sell
ing goods as low as they can bo pur
chased for in New York. Take dry
goods, boots and shoes, hats and caps,
and other light merchandise, and tho
merchants of Dallas aro always willing
to duplicate invoices from Now York or
Huston. In groceries, hurdwuro aiu:
other heavy goods thfi dealers in this
city will guarantco their prices even
lower than tho same articles can ho had
foriu any Kastorn city, adding freights.
All these facts aro rapidly being dis
seminated throughout the whole of
middle, northorn and iiorthwosturu
Texas, and the Inducements ollercd
hero aro attracting the attention of
merchants in the territories west. Pal
las is regarded now us tho heaviest "rain
market in tho whole Slate, and the buy
ers in this city havo their agents iu
nearly every cotton point on tho lines ol
tho railroads running to this city. This
is also the great liido market of this see
lion of tho State, and it is increasing it
importance us a market for live stock ol
all kinds. The commercial importance
if Dallas is last assuming metropolitan
proportions and her claim in this par
ticular will soon be acknowledged by
llio whole country.
In reply to the arguments of the At

admit that tho lease law don't prevent

force, also reduco the amount of com

wrong to reduce the size ol the com

WELCOME TO EX-CONFEDERATES
How dill'crent the reunion of the Con
federate veterans to-duy from those in
which tho friendships wero formed that
havo now burned so brightly and si
ong! The trumpet and the aeighing
steed, the clash of saber and the Hash o
colors, aro all hero once more, but tin
groans of tho dying and tho deadly rat
Ho of iniisketrv and tho smoke and
carnage of the coiilliel uro absent. Th
then rent and gasping Nation is again
tho reunited mid peaceful family, and
passions and prejudices havo left tin
sears, the wounds have at least healed
and tile body politic is strong and vigor
ous once inure.
Whatever may have been the dilli
dices of opinion then and whoever may
havo been right, sincerity and honesty
of conviction are now cheerfully and
universally conceded to nil. An liom
struggle, in which years of privation
and enthusiasm were expended, must
ilways lie a sacred memory to those who
bared their breasts and risked their all
therein. And the companionship mid
Irieudsliip of men who stooil shoulder
to shoulder III the horrors and sacrifices
of wir, and grew together in tho dark
ness of the storm must always be sweet.
Hut to meet again after the clouds have
leared away and the triad sunshine has
relit the face ol nature with a kindlv,
heeriug smile, where the "wrinkled
trout of war" has become as soft ami in
viting as the swan's breast of down, is
sweeter still by far.
The wit and cluipicneo of the present
reunion, Hie renewal of old attach
ments, the repetition of old
camp-llrc stories and the in
terchange of varied rcininis
cenecs of the camps, marches, battles,
struggles, privations and thrilling es
capes ami experiences of now well nlgli
a quarter of a centurv ago, will iloulit-
less prove to all tho veterans who me
here this week, nil episode as eveiitlut
and us deeply stumped upon tho plate,,
of memory, as were those former times
that tried men's souls so severely.
These men who are with us to duv
were heroes in the most stupendous eon
tlict of history, iho noted niche ol
the Temple of I'aine contain no record ot
greater daring, greater courage,
hloodicr carnage, larger suerl
(lee or more brilliant hero
ism than the leaves ol the book of th
great American civil war. The heroe
of Artie cruises and the explorers ol
the kis'retsof almost Impenetrable eon
lliienlH e in wear no prouder or limn
merited wreaths than the ex-t'onl'ed
erato veteran who battled, starved and
barefooted and ragged, against over
whelming numbers and resources fot
years, ami letl not ll.e unequal and
hopeless contliet, until no laud, inn
lionie, nor wealth, nor kindred reiiiainen
to demand from him further saerilli
battled until he found himself literal!)
standing alone In Hie midst of a dcsola
tion unit a waste.
This reunion is in no spirit of enmity
or prejudice against the toes of anolln
time nor their ilescc udoiits. It Is tin
festival of pence. The sword, long sine
liealeu Into the ploughshare, has givi
loo omphalic, preference to the vletorii
of peace over those of war to permit
anyone who felt the real horrors
civil strife to desire their
rtturn under any circumstances,
It - a lovo feast, which
these heroes are now to enojy, a ri
union in the midst of prosperity ami
good feeling, where only the gleams
auiilluht that broke through the rill
clouds of the long ago, are to tx retail
or remembered.
Dallas extends to such men, met unite
such circumstance, a more than hearty
welcome I It in g'sid lor us and for
them to l here during such an occasion
It is a green Nmt In a city's as well a a
man's life. To all, tho high Hid low,
old and young, humble private and fa
mous lender, Dallas extendsjlts cordial
welcome. We trust that their coming
together limy bo tilled lo overllowing
with joyoiiHiiess and add new and pleu
ant luciiioriii to those Hint havo been
the moving etiiiso In bringing the vete
ran heroes into our midst. May the oc
casion mark a liuppy epoch in nil their
lives. And Ibis scii'.i incut we know Is
the common one of all our el' I .ens nnd
doublv no of the II KIlAl.li.
than any official in public life in this
country to-day. What could bo con
strued as unfriendly acts towards labor
has been most universally and persist
ently dwelt upon and pressed upon the
attention of the masses, while all elso in
his record has been overlooked.
Fortunately for Mil. Cj.kyklanu, mid,
indeed, tho country, tho Democratic
press isas wakeful, intelligent and lynx
eyed us uro Mb. I'lkvi.i.ami's oppon
ents. During the occupancy of the guber
natorial chair sy Vi.i;velam only
thirteen bills affecting labor havo hocn
submitted to lilni ami ho has signed ten
out of tho thirteen, a circumstance never
d'erred to by bis tradueers.
The threo vetoed wero what is known
as the Flvo Cent Karo Hill, the Mechan
ics' l.lcii Hill and the Car Drivers und
'onductors Hill. The reasons lor the
veto of these three bills were many and
itisl'aetory and havo been given to the
public already innumerable times. The
veto of these bills Is not longer being
urged against Govimi.noii Ci.kvki.am
as tho more the basis of the vetoes is
studied the more is the Governor's ac
tion applauded by all classes.
Hut the other side, tho positive effort--
ill behalf of llio working classes, is even
more 'ultructivo A llrouklyn corres
pondent has bunted up a list of the bills
and we take it from tho Courier-Journal
of recent date. It is u noble record for
even a reform Governor. The following
are the bills signed by Cl. kvki ash, id.
iu the interest of labor, and till designed
lo somewhat softon Its rough lot:
l'irsl - Tho establishment of a bureau
if labor statistics.
Second Abolishing the manufacture
of hats iu State prisons ami peiiitcutia
ries.
Third The tenement house cigar bill
(afterward declared to bo uncouslitu-
tional owing to being defective in the
title).
Fourth -The Ilnilrond Commission
bill.
Fifth- Hill submitting to popular vote
the question of tho abolition of contract
ubor in Statu prisons.
Sixth -Tho Tenement House Cigar
bill; amended to conform to decision an
nulling Hie bill passed in ISKI.
Seventh The bill providing thai
whenever employers make assignments
Iho wages of employes shall be paid be
fore any claim.
Eighth-Hill prohibiting the trustees
of houses of refuge, correctional instilii
lions, etc., front coutrnctiiig the labor of
the children contained therein.
NinthHill to abolish Contract Labor
in Stale prisons, penitentiaries, ele.
Tenth- Hill npMiutinga commission

With such a record, compare Hi, a ink's
