The Santa Fe Railway.

This road with all its rights
possessions, etc, was sold at
noon on Tue.d day at Galveston
under deed of trust made by the
company TO Robert Mills, as
trustee, to secure the obligation
of that company to the order OF
George Scaly. The road was
sold to Geo. Scaly. of Ball,
Hutchins & Co., fer 100000.
The purchase was made in be-
half of the syndicate Of Calves
ton capitalists. The Nescssays
all parties concerned arc to be
congratulated upon the event,
and none more than the general
public, which Is interested in
the rapid progress of the road.
The gentlemen into whose
hands the road has passed are
possessed of large means and
almost unlimited credit" They
are we'll known and cnterprising
men. A meeting ofthe syndicate
will be held soon, after which
something authoritative will. no
doubt. be promulgated. We
have private advices from Gal
weston to the effect that a hun
dred new cars for the road are
now being built and that regu-
lar trains will be running to
Richmond at an carly date.
The road can be completed to
Brenham in time to move the
growing crop, but until the
syndicate is heard from it is use
less to speculate.

CITY SALARIES.

The city council at its meet
ing Monday night seems to
have exhausted its itself in its
effort to reduce expenses by
awarding the city printer the
enormous sum of fifty dollars a
year for the publication Of the
city ordinances. The BANNER
put in bid offering to do the
work for the sum of one hun
bred dollars for the ensueing
year. 1t had the same contract
last year at seventy-fve dollars
and actual experience has
shown that the cost of compo-
sition alone is in excess of that
sum. Having disposed of the
printing by a master stroke and
apparently saved fifty dollars a
year they proceeded to fix the
salaries of the other officers al
lowing the mayor 5000 a year
and the trimmings or tolls gath
cred at the mayors court
mill; the marshal is allowed
$50 with the same trim
mings and tolls as the may
or; the city attorney is allowed
$500, and last but by no means
least the city clerk or secretary
is allowed $3.50 per year for at
tending council meetings and
keeping the eity's accounts
the entire duties on an average
not requiring more than two
days in a month. The police
men are allowed $40 per month,
which is not too much. The
duties Of the mayor and mar
shall are not particularly oner-
GUS, and we think the cauncil
would have done a wise thing
to have obclished the perqui-
sites of office or trimmings,
them stipulated salary
and letting all the costs collect
ed in the mayors court go into
the city treasury. The alder
men voted themselves pay at
the rate of 81 per month each,
which is probably a full COM
pensation, considering their lib
erality towards the other off
GERS.

The Bol1ville Beacon.

This paper has again changed
hands; this time Mr.. w. j. Stall
lings becomes sole proprietor, he
having purchased the presses,
material and good will of the
same. Mr.. Stallings has been
a resident of BRENNAN for the
past year and will move to
Bellville with his family, for the
purpose of making it his perma-
nent home. He is practical
printer and has been engaged
in the printing business for many
years. He expects to devote
his entire time and attention to
the Beacon, the first number of
which, under his management,
will be issued on Saturday. the
10th inst. We have been &C
quainted with Mr.. Stallings for
the past four or FIVE years and
know him to be a steady, hard
working and enterprising man.
We have no doubt that under
his management the Beacon will
always be con time" and will be
a county paper in which the
citizens Of Austin county can
take a just pride.

DISTRICT SCHOOLS.

The Austin Statesman for
some time has been doing all
in its power to break up the
public school system of the
state. 1t would have free schools
for the children of poor widows
and for orphans, thus making a
worthy class of children an OBJ
jcct of stigma or reproach. The
system of private schools has
been tried for years and found
wanting. For the comparative
ly few wealthy people in every
community, private schools ma
do very we'll, because if they
can not educate their children
at home they can send them off.
In considering the public school
question people had as we'll
place themselves face to face
with the proposition: Is it
cheaper to maintain public
schools or to maintain jails full
of prisoners? An examination
of the expense accounts of the
various counties will show that,
in large majority of them, the
castof keeping prisoners in Jail
and of the criminal courts ex-.
ceeds that of the pittance paid
for schools by from twenty-five
10 hundred and fifty per cent.
We have not the figures at
hand, but are almost satisfied
there is hardly a county in the
state, in which the expense at
tending criminals is not in ex-
cess of that incurred for schools.
In proportion as people arc ed
ucated crime diminishes. We
are free to admit that the pres
ent public school system of
Texas, as applied to the. dis
trict schools, is far from perfect
and attention should be paid to
reforming. not abolishing them.
If the present system is abol-
ished for two, three or four
years. many thousands of boys
and girls who might at least &C
quirS the art of reading and
writing, will grow up in total ig-
norance and never SO long as
they live will they be of any
great benefit, either to them
selves or to the communities
among whom their lots may
happen to be cast. Let the |
schools be maintained and set |
about putting them on a proper |
basis.

No sir. | am not going to

But l do feel "sorter" poetical
while enjoying such a delightful
drive rs | did on last Friday,
out ten miles west of Caldwell,
over firm road, fringed by the
lovely carpet of green, which
nature has SO lavishly spread
over our prairies, to nVngle with
the good people of Deanville in
the festivities Of a Sunday school
picnic. The Caldwell brass
band was in attendance and
surprised the oldest inhabitant
at the proficiency they have
made in their line. The day
was as lovely as heart could
wish; the dinner as bountiful and
palatable as the most fastidious
could desire.
On the 4th instant the schools
of Caldwell had a gala-day; they
marched from the female acad-
envy. with flowing banners and
inspiring music, to the beautiful
grove and spring one mile from
town, where a most enjoyable
day was spent.
There does not seem to be
any danger of rain interfering
with the picnic season, although
we are needing it badly.

a flop again; it is edited and

ALL the speeches made in
congress are published in the
Congressional Reco,d at public
expense. Mr.. Wells, member
Of congress from Missouri, is
credited with having said if the
free publication of speeches was
wiped out Of existence, and a
rule enacted which would make
each member pay for the print
ing of his own speeches, there
would be no difficulty in max
ing the sessions derently rhort.
The patriots WHO now go to
Washington loaded to the
muzzle with fiery speeches
wouldn't shoot EN- of, not a bit
of it. You couldn't get a man
to speak over five minutes. and
the members for buncombe

The speeches as they appear in

Washington county has a pop
ulation of more than 10000
and we do not see that she has
an excess of doctors. The thir-
ty-six doctors is all that we have
in the county, and among the
number is included all the re-
tired and non-practicing physi-
clans. As an evidence that the
county is remarkably healthy it
may be stated that none of our
doctors are getting rapidly
wealthy by their practice.
