THE CLOUDS ARE LIFTING.
Slowly the curtain is bain? lowered
on tho great men and great events of
the Amerioan civil war. -Lincoln was
tie first censpiouous figure to fall,
then Lee, then Andrew Johnson,
then Bteidens and the rest. It
was a stupendous conflict, and the con
tention of giants of the more ancient
time was reproduced upon the virgin
oil of the new hemisphere. Passion
dethroned reason, and section forgot
humanity in its contest with section.
Faction controlled the hour, and men
became heroes or ogres as they were
viewed by their followers.
Time softens such animosities. The
Impartial verdict of a succeeding gen
eration replaces the unjust criticisms
of preceding. As the curtain falls the
vista becomes obscure, but men aud
events are more accurately measured.
The North's victory, or the South's
triumph, becomes a compromise. Get
tysburg ceasos to figure as a Southoru
reverse, and grows iuto a national and
common heritage. As passion cools
Grant aud Lke no longer figuro ss
seotioual heroes, but become national
deml-goda, and the historian of tho fu
ture will doligtt to d well ns much u pon
the exploits of the one as the achieve-
inonts of the other. Tho death of
Grant and tho national sorrow In con
sequence mark anothor stop In tho ap
proach to true history.
The works that havo so far bt-en
written on. our civil war are incom
plete. Thoy have beon puuu6d too
ner.r tho ovents which they recount.
Prejudice sits too closo to reason in the
iaspeotlou of authorit ies and soctloual
dislikes aro Intensified by soctloual
appeals. From all accounts the per
sonal memoirs of Grant aro free from
prejudice and, perhaps, presout the
first henest rovlow of tho civil war
from a Northern point of view. Until
they have beoomo common property
their delects and inaccuracies cannot
be known, but the authors mag
nanimity and ttio sobered reason of a
20 years' CBreor aftor the war aro
bases upon which tho hopo oau be
founded that tho men and meusures of
the civil war, whether Federal or Cou
fodnrato, will bo fairly judged and
criticised. If such bo tho fact then is
the Nation at largo as fortunate iu tho
littler df.ys of the Union's prosorvor its
in the period of bis pride and n'rongtii.
Tho universal expression of sorrow
at the groat chieftain's death, the
badges of mourning broadcast in tho
Ssutli as in tho North, and the love
and sympathy that grow up around a
blor whero tears know no section nor
the throbbing heart a past history, jus
tify us in bollovlng that tho era of par
tial and partisau relations has paused,
and that tho opochof national and fra
tornal criticism has returned. When
an unlmpasslonod and KeuoroiH na
tion will without reforonue to section or
antecedents weopovor the doad heroes
tki a national lout, and forgot mistakes
in tlio grand Aiiiurlonu churactor, then
will tho country be truly reunited and
that point roaclied whero tho heroic
aiihiovemouts, tho grand bittth'H, the
sullerlng and privations, and tho !os
soimof our civil striCo be clearly c.ii-t
Juutly appreciated.
DALLAS DRIFTING EASTWARD.
Tho rapid extension or lalla- is
murked by several intorextiiiv: foa
turos. For Homo purpoNo, best known
to John Nr.Ki.v Buya.n and tlio orig
inal founders of tho city, It was loca
ted Immediately upon tho left bank or
tho Trinity Rlvor. Those old pioneers,
knowing nothing of railways aud
looking to shipments to tlio sea, may
have amiisod themselves with tho idea
that tho Trinity was navigable Tradi
tion spouksofa vessel onco construct
ed to ply betwoon Dallm aid tho
gulf, but tho treacherous rlvorclRlmed
tho little crult as his own, anil niter a
venturesome trial trip, tho ownors
had much experience and but littlo
stomiboat left. The fact is now iuni
fost that tho location of the city lu the
rlvor bottom was a mistake nnd thn
roslstless march of Improvements east
ward and out of the Trinity bottom
Illustrates tho determination or Invest
ors lo ultimately carry tho city on to
tho beautiful and elevated platoau be
yond the Central Rallwftv traik. Tii
location of tho Federal Court building
audtliepostollloof.tr eastward of the
then business centers is but a develop
ment of the coanolens drifting out to
olovatod and cooler locations. Tho
construction ol a first-class hotel be
yond Bycaiuoro strnot would bo in
stantly prolltablo, and is now known
to bo inevitable.
Tho constant and steady incroaso of
vaiuos on the projection of Elm and
Main streets, aud the aviditv with
which purchasers buy ou these thor-
ougu.aros, and out at tho Fslr
Grounds, but show that toouer or
lator the main oity will bo east of the
Central's track. Fortunately, or un
fortuuatoly, Dallas can onlv expand
toward tho elevatsd sites eastward,

has produced this year will stlmulato
values even beyond our prosout expic
tations, aud will Induce un Immigra
tion and Investment of capital among
ui, uie like or which past yoars havo
not witnessed. Expansion will neoow
arlly follow, and Hut expansion, as
me havo shown, must be toward the
oast. Tho Pacific Railway Comripnv
has long had undor advlsemont the
tearing awnyor tho unsightly shell
that now answers for otlloox, lunch
rooms and restauraut at the Union
depot, and tho orootloti or a handsomo
building In Its stead, and we are ad
vised or proposals row being made to
that company to build for thorn on a
Ion? lease (the company simply ro
taluiug ofllce room) au elaborate hotel
at the orosslug or the Paclllo and Cen
tral roads. If this be done, a decided
impetus will bo given to that locality.
One of tho moil sorious mistakes
made by tho Commlsilouers Court
was to robuild tho court .homo In Its
present place. Earnest oirurls wore
Oon inado by far-sighted clllr.ciisto
locato that stalely building on a more
elevated and central site, oostward
and out of thoTrlulty bottom, but an
unwlso and hesitating conservatism
provalled, and tho building was ro
routod . lu the flat on the old
square and at the extreme edge of tho
city. The convenience of tho entire
northern and eastern part of the
count was to some extont sacrificed
niwo w '
by replacing the building in its oobo
lite quarters.
Investors in real estate of long expe
rlence in this olty are well aware of the
probable increase of values eastward,
and they are cot alow to seize upon
bargains in that direction. Cities
other than Dallas havo moved their
centers of business, and it would not
be an unprecedented sight for the
center of this city to drift a mile to the
east, and that very soon. Manufac
tories just upon the river front will
perhaps always maintain prominent
values there, and cheap coal may hi
crease them, but the main city in the
years coming will havo boon built
farther toward the sunrise, and on
slghtlier and healthier elevations.
.'PURE DEMOCRACY" AND
"PARTISAN ORGAN."
THE
Our correspondent, Democrat, takes
us to task on our position ns stated In
a recent editorial in reply to his pre
vious strictures on tho DoniocrRcv of
The Hehalb. We have for the past
six years so often explained the dili'or-
once between a strictly "party paper"
and an "Independent Damocratio"
journal that it would seem a work of
supererogation to say more. We said
tho other day that wo "wore no collar,
were no 'organ,' and sail as no par
tlsan jourual, but as an independent
Democratic journal." For this he
criticises us. On the other band we
are therofore criticised for, under
such Btatus, "criticising1 President
Cleveland for not putting Demo
crats into ofllco us rnnldlv as
possiblo without waiting for vacancies
If the iiepublicaim do not reslcn."
Now let us explain, It was In Jack-
son's time whon tho gomiino "piirtium
uowspapor" caiuo into exultant voguo.
"The partisan editor" observed his
biographor, ''was he who pursued one
side only of all public questions, dis
regarding truth, right and justice, de
termined only to win." In 1820 an "or
gan" was startod at Washington, aud
it, tho Telegraph, gave tho key to
all tho looal party l.ewnnanors. It
was tho duty of theso papers to soy all
manner of thiiiKS to ellect and proju
dico tho voter, etc.; all as started by
the central "organ." And this is his
torically and truly tho moaning of a
"party" paper whether Democratic
or Republican. An independent
Damocratio paper Is uno urging puro
Democratic principles for their own
sakes and tho weliaro ot the countrv
nnder Mich rulo.
Now for the other point: When
Mit. Jefferson, the first caucus
noinlneosucceedod in hU contest for
tho Presidency thero was a goneral
apprrhonsiou tuat he would make u
clean seop of his political opponents
from olllco. This suspicion was con-
sidoralily changed by tho mild t-nor
of his inaugural address on Hint pnini.
Hut when, in 101, only Ihro'j nif ntlis
Biter his inauguration, ho rcii.ot.d u
leading Fedoralist olllco-holdcr, Mi:,
Goodrich, as collector of tir; prtf
Now ilnvoii, and niuioinl-'d Mk
Bishop, u Democrat, in his place,

that their tonuro of ollico was about lo
oud. When criticised for this, Uio

did construction of lib. drnli-m.
lions in luvor or political
tolerance, respect lor tuunl
rli;lilH of minorities, etc., would not
warrant tho federalists' assertions.
Ho cimtouded that In tho Whig ad
minintratious of hi-j pre.iei'cn.ir-i
A dams and Washington, all tho
ollhes of tho I'nited States weroiuj
nopoll.od by their partisans, und that
it was a stretch of tho imagination to
assume that stii'h monopoly of ollice
was lo bo continued in tho hands of
the minority. Ho also contended
that the supplying of somo
of the members of tho ma
jority party with public ollices
violated no equal rights of the olheru,
that it was not political Intolerance t J
slalin a proportionate share in the tll
reetiou of tho public nllalrs. Ho ar
gued that if a duo participation of ol
lico was a mutter of right, how were
Vacaucles to bo obtaiuod? Tlmso "by
doath wero few, tho'fo by resignation
none." H mils', lo remembered that
In Washington' timo tho real
Djinocratlc party had scarcely
namo or existence, but Mu.
Jefferson had boon oloctod by a par
ty, through a hard fought 8lrui;i;Ie,Riid
hof-jlt under necessity of rowardlng
his supporters with unices Hnd In
couk a, and in his letter containing tlio
abovo lews may bo found tho origin
of the doctrino, "to tho victors belong
the spoils." And yet ho removed but
lOolllcoholders In threo years.
Subsequently Madison, and then
Monrok, were nioro sweeping in tho
matter or changes. Indvsd, so positive
on this point was Mr, Monrok tin t
Uknkral Jai'khon advised him to
avoid all considerations of party m his
selection of heads of departments, go
ing so far as evou to say: "Now is tho
time to exterminate that monster
called parly spirit; the chief magls
trato should never ludulgolu pnrty
leeuugs." to this tlio President re-
sponded: "To give etrocfto freo gov
eminent Biid secure it from fu
ture danger, ought not its doubled
friends, who Btood firm In the day
of trial, to be principally rolled on T
Would not the association of any of
their oppouonts In the admluistra
tlon, or ltaeir, wound their feelings
to the injury of our (the Republican
party's) cauBos?" Further, ho says
"1 agree with you that niodoratlou
should be shown to tho Federal party,
and even a gouorous policy be pur
sued toward them tho only dilloronce
between us seems to be how far shall
that spirit he Indulged In the outset T"
But the administration orMoNRoE, the
"Era ol Oood Fooling," was so satis
factory to all parties, and the Fedoral
parly having become extlnot in 181
at the termination of the war with
Croat Britain, that matters generally
moved quietly on. Tho parties which
woie subsequently formod for John
iui.Ncv Adams, Jackson. Crawford,
and Clay, wsre more of a personal
cuaracter, political features be
coming blended, It was onlv
during Jackson's administration that
his BiippurtoM claimed the name of
Democrats, and his opponent, tho
National Republicans, with the soced
ersoti the bank, froo trado, anil-mo
nopoly, hard money Idea, in 1S33 31,
took the name of Whigs, tho former as
Ji ferhonian strict constructionists,
the latter under Clay, with mors latl
tudinarlaulam.
When Jackion stepped lutopewer In
, mm warn mm
1829, eo changed had booomehls vlewp,
it was thought he would make a
prompt and general removal of his op
ponents from ofliae, and this wus duly
realized, and officials oven In thehum
blent positions were replaced by active
partisans. During tho rocess of Con
gress iu that oauie year nearly 2,000 re
movals toon place, asaluat'Jin Wash
ington's reign of 8 years, 10 In Adams',
33 in Jefferson's, 5 in Madison's, 8
in Monroe's, and 2 in Jons Quincy
Adams'.
For this the old horo wss charged
with usurpiag authority not conlorrod
by tho Constitution, that he was a crc
scriptiouist foropiniuu's sake, agaiust
tho spirit of our Institution's, and his
acts wore without precedent in tho his
tory of the couutry. It was contended
by the otbor side that the execu
tive was solely invested with
the discretionery right ot removal,
and that right given him for good
reasons. In one year Jackson re
moved noarlySOO postmasters alone.
And thus did Old Hiokorv nut under
full hoad way tho policy which JhFi-Eit-
son inaugnrated,and.which the Repub
lican party from 1SG1 to 18 curried
out to the letter. And all this has
boon the so woll recognized principle
that, had Bi.aini: boon oloctod last
year, the Democrat who would
have expected position in th
Cabinet, on tho bench, or anywhere iu
the judiciary, or tho postal, consulate
or other dopurtmont of service, would
