MI. Hewitt, OF New YORK, SAID he had
prepared speech upon the bill before the
House, but the gentleman from Ohio
[Garfeld] had traversed almost the same
ground which be Hewitt had intended to
take. He concurred fully in what the
gentleman had said in regard to the pres
ent situation and with regard to the ne
csssity of adhering firmly to the policy of
resumption. The debtors who expect
that it will raise the price of their proper
ty viii find that there win be nothing to
buy it with, and that values will fall, and
creditors viii take the rest Of their funds
and 60 to some cline where their property
will be respected. I am clear and certain
that but one result can follow from these
measures, and that result will he ruin, ru-
in in resources, ruin in character, and ul-
timately ruin in constitutional freedom.

FASHIONS.

The fashions of the season are more for
sense than for show. One of the stylish
morning garments for outdoors is long
cloak of gray chevoit, covering the entire
dress, and gored as closely as possible in
front and behind. A highly sensible ad-
dition for walking is a cloth gaiter strapped
over the boot, precisely like those worn by
men, to keep the dust from entering the
shoes. Embroidered waists of light blue
or pink opera flannel are worn under the
dress for cold weather. Bright red and
blue shawls with borders are again worn
as sort Of half dress, and touches of
pleasing bright color to the streets.
THE CIGAR-BAKEBs' STRIKE.
The cigar makers strike continues, and
though the strikers affect to have conf
dence that they can compel the managers
to come to their terms, they are evidently
discouraged. About thousand Cinnamon
have been brought on from San Francisco,
and they are at work But more serious
danger threatens them. The manufactur-
ers have discovered that woman can
make fair cigar in two days, and an excel
lent one in week, and they are taking
them on by the thousand. 1t is singular
that the men never thought of this. There
is no reason under Heaven why the deft
fingers Of a woman should not be better in
trade like this than the coarse clumsy
hands of man. A cigar made of expen-
sive stock must be finished in handsome

say, rs nearly every state in the union
has demonstrated that there can be a
good system of public education. and
ono that will be unbouuded in its benc-
fits and impartial in its administration.
Statistics and history show that the
better educated a people are the faster
they acquire wealth, and the fewer are
the violations of law, to say nothing of
the increase of happiness, which is of
itself n public benefit, since it produces
that harmony so essential to national
prosperity and vigor.
All will admit that a republican gov.
eminent depends for its stability upon
the intelligence of its people, since il is
by reading and thinking that they can
best understand the merits of the
public questions and also the ability of
the men whom they are to elect to fill
the different offices. By a good system
of public education we would deyelop
the minds of our youth, and some Of
them, instead of being "hewers of wood
and drawers OF water, would, by means
of the education thus acquired, become.
no doubt, manufacturers, tradesmen, me.
chanics and useful citizens. Education
stimulates the inventive, and in fact all
the faculties but il is useless to argue
rs to the benefits of education. for the
ignorant man knows that n want of il
has been curse to him, as the educated
man knows its possession has been 10

free schools, was handed round yestcr.
day, About the most notable thing we
discover in it, is the extraordinary COM
pliment II pays the city, when it declares
that of all the papers published here,
not one can be found to oppose the
proposition. Whether Dallas votes ave,
or no, on this matter, ii will always be
proud reflection that no paper could
be found here to oppose this great prin-
ciple ofmodern progress. That the tax
will be finally levied, we do not for
moment doubt. The men Mt the bot.
tom of this move will not accept defeat
on the 10Th, as finality, but will move
every year steadily forward until Dallas
shall have such system of public free
instruction as will meet the wants of
herpeople, and place her where she
properly belongs, in the van of the new
spirit of Texas. We have yet to hear of
a state ruined by school tax, and as to
the noble provision in land, well, when
that is placed in the market and sold
we will know exactly what the noble
provision in land is worth, not till then.
Our observation is, those who possess
the most land in Texas are the poorest
among her population, because the pay.
ment of tax on nonsproductive land is
a burden too heavy to be grappled with,
and the school lands are practically
worthless until the money they are
worth is paid into the funds Of the
state.

A correspondent OF the New York
Herald, writes as follows "lhe present
conflict in Europe is not primarily be-
tween Russia and several other powers.
There are at present four great empires
contending for the mastery Of Europe,
in which contest the existing war is only
an episode, These empires are the Ro-
manic, the Germanic, the Slayonic and
the British representing the south, the
north, the east and the west of Europe.
The first embraces France, Italy and
Spain; the second the German states
and Netherlands; the third, Russia, Pc.
land and the SlavoniC states OF Austria
and Turkey and the fourth the British
Isles and colonies. Each hopes to build it.
self up 10y uniting all the elements of its
respective race under one principle or
form of alliance or another. The first,
or Romano empire, proposes to estab.
lish itself on the basis OF the church, as
a nucleus or bond of union, the whole
oftho Romantic peoples being essentially
Catholic and constituting about all the
Catholics of Europe. The second, or
Germanic empire, proposes to ride into
supremacy on its intellectual and mill
tary superiority and discipline, the
whole of the Germanic peoples almost
being already united under the empire
of Kaiser William The third, or Sla-
yonic empire, depends for its power ON
its numbers, which, if it consolidate all
the peoples OF that race, will become
by far the most numerous body of Eu-
rope. The Western, or Bsitish empire,
depends for its supremacy on its wealth
and its universally present lands and
subjects. There is, therefore, and is
destined to 60 on, more or less secretly
a contest between religion, intelligence,
numbers and wealth Tor the mastery Of
Europe"
