members of which are j. II. Kinkead. A.
J. Hatch and D. r. Sessions. has issued
an order prescribing the Pacific Coast
Speller for use in the public schools

schools are changed almost every year.
We cannot comprehend, unless it should
be that there is something in il" for the
Board. The publishers, whose books
are used exclusively. Of course have a
fat thing, and can afford to spend CON-
siderable money 10 their attempts to
foist their inferior publications upon the
suffering and indignant public. This
change is entirely uncalled for as the
Pacific Coast series OF school books ia
the most inferior that has ever been pub

We have studied closely the various questions
relating to fruit culture in Western Texas during
the twenty seven years Of experience and obser-
vation, upon our own ground. We have thus en-.
abled ourselves TO present to the public list OF
fruits better adapted to our climate than can be
offered by any other establishment
Our pears cannot be excelled anywhere. Any
one who has good clay sub-soil aud good drain
age need not hunt better pear country than this.
Our plums and grapes are OF the only classes
that have been found successful here. 80
Our clmated list Of peaches is grated, with
single exception, from new varieties originated
ION seed in Western Texas. We do not claim
that our peaches are better than every other, but
we do claim that our trees are proved as hsrdy
and productive as any scrub Seeding, while the
qualities are not inferior to the old lists.
We propose to Introduce our fruits into the san
Marcos neighborhood. wherever you can raise
scrub seedlings our trees will do equally well.
This question Of combining hardness, productive
ness and quality is our leading feature.
We can supply good assortment OF ornamental
trees and plants.
Everybody is invited to ccme ard see our orch,

LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. OIL
July Is, 70. !


Senator Thurman thus sums
up the results of the late session OF
Congress : I'm my judgment
no session OF Congress has done more
for the vindieatien Of the principles
of American liberty. 70 We have sue
cessfully maiatainedthe principle that
the Federal Government shall not il
terfere in the election of the officers
Of the States. A greater declaration
of popular liberty has not been made
since the adoption of Magma Charta."
The intellect of the radical party
press is jnst now devoted to the turn
ing out of Office Of tho few Democrats
and conservative men who, through
merit or by means of competitive ex
aminations have secured clerkships in
the departments. Among three or
more thousand clerks. messengers, etc,
here, there may be fifty who are not
Republicans. and not more than tnat
number. I hope these will all be
turned out. In some cases there will
be individual hardship of course. but
the spite work" which deprives
these competent men of their places
will have soma effect upon the minds
of sensible men throughout the coun-
try. The Republican party has now
no ambition higher than spoils. The
politicians and STA smen st II lingering
at the Capital have received notice Of
u very important gathering to be held
at Saratoga, N. Y, on the 9th 7th and
9Th of August coming. 1t will be un-
der the auspices of the American Bank
ers Association. but in its arrangements
it will cover much more ground than
that fact seems to contemplate. The
President of tbs association is Alex
ander Mitchell, of Milwaukee. we'll
known democrat, and eminent in com
mercial affairs. The gathering will
have no political significance. but is ex.
Ipected to do much towards informing
the country in matters of finance and
trade, and perhaps towards reconciling
conflicting views touching future legis-
lation. Speeches will be given upon
the subject of resumption, revenue.
banking, the growth and wealth of
productive power. currency demands
commercial needs and the material
progress of the country, The Savings
banks aud trust institutions of the
country will form subject of serious
consideration, and meaps for their ex-
tension and improvement for the bene
fit of the industrial classes will be dis
cussed. In short the Convention will
take wide range, aud assume natioL-
al importance.
Hon. VIM. Z. Chandler submitted
to various interviews while in this
city a few days sinc,. In fact he en-
joys being interviewed, and gives his
opinions, especially Of individuals, with
freedom. He says Grant may be the
Republican candidate in 1890 if he is
willing to enter into a scramble for
the nomination that Blaine's chances
are fair, and that Sherman cannot be
nominated. He says that Hayes is
now as radical ss anybody, and that

is,rat;on is an exploded huDbug.

This is brief review Of the admin
stration ofthe state government un-
der the democratic rule Of five and y
half years past. Is it any wonder
there are schisms in the party? Is
1t any Wonder there are talks Of party
splits and elimination and recrimina =.
ton among the leaders and rank and
file? ls it strange that democrats 60
off after strange banners and often
worship at strange affairs ? In five
years the public debt has been largely
increased the taxes have been raised;
immigration aud the States develop.
ment have been not only checked, but
we may say actually brought to stand.
still; the system Of public education
instead Of having been made more
effective throughout the State has been
broken to pieces, and crime, already
we'll nigh holding carnival, has been
given new license, by interference Oh
the part of the Executive with the
just mandates OF the courts In answer
to sickly sentinientality awakened by
,naudlin school marin. "
While the Democratic party Of Tex.
as is called upon to answer for all these
errors and follies, can it afford in the
future to make such mistakes as those
Of the past? Can it afford to be ham
pered with backwoodsism, and the
common places Of mediocrity? There
are Statesmen in the party in Texas;
there are gentlemen of profound
thought and broad, deep comprehen-
sion, incapable. Of leading the party into
such sloughs of and quagmires of mis-
rule, imprudence and moss backsm as
have characterized the administration
Of it's chosen represe tatives in the
past, and let them be brought to tho
front. o aI dpn@sa~ an~0
