Imsompeeent Teachers.

The Victoria Adpueate calls
attention to the incompetency
of the average school teacher
employed in the state. Who
ever is in possession of a certifi-
cate from a so-called board of
examiners is entitled to full pay
per scholar for every child taught
by him. In sections of the state
where there is a dense negro
population ignorant negroes are
employed. In Victoria county
a sixteen year old negro boy
drew S4o2 for four months ser
vices as teacher of a public
school, while white teachers for
the same period did not receive
over $50. While we favor the
public school system and the
education Of the colored child
rem, as well as the whites, we do
not see the justice of paying
such extravagant sums to ignor-
ant and wholly incompetent ne
gro teachers. 1t is not expect
ed in Texas that white men or
women will teach negro schools.
yet by more care on the part of
the boards OF examiners, educa-
ted negroes could be found to
take charge of the colored pub
lie schools.

THE legislature has a warm
friend in the Meridian Blade
which says:
1--WE may be- mistaken, but
we believe when their work is
done and they have returned
home, it will be found that they
have accomplished more real
good work than any legislature
of our state has done for many
years"
Inasmuch as hope is a cheap
commodity, the BANNER hopes
that the prediction of the BLADE
may be fully verified.

The city election is soon to
come off in Sherman and the
Registe, gives this advice to the
citizens: "Do not support any
man simply because he is a
friend and wants the place"
This advice holds good in Bren-
ham. 1t is fair to assume that
all the candidates want the pla-
ces for which they are running.
The question for the voters to
determine is, which of the can
didates is the most competent
and will make the best and most
efficient officer That being
satisfactorily determined, vote
for the man; personal friendship
should have nothing to do with
the choice of officers.

FACTS.

The St. Louis GAo6e-DcMO-
fHat having, as usual, grossly
misrepresented the citizens of
Marshall and their we'll known
sentiments respecting the re-
cent diabolical murder at that
place, have issued a circular eX-
dressing their feelings in regard
the affair. 1t asserts that
urrie is not shown any favors
the sheriff or jailor. but is
ed exactly as was Mckee,
proprietor of the CD,
when he was in Jail for robbing
the government. The illustra-
ton, if true, would be apt. The
t7uth is, and it is VIGOROUSLY
knswn in St. Louis, that Nc
KEGS imprisonment in the St,
LOUIS county jail was merely
ine.ninal. Mckee and Constan-
tine Mcguire, U. S. revenue col
lector and stockowner in the
CD. were imprisoned at the
same time. They were distin-
guished heightened criminals
and were allowed the privilege
of furnishing their cell to suit
their style ofliving; their GRUB"
was furnished to order from a
French restaurant; they had
wine and cigars, and their
friends visited them and indulg-
ed in a social game "of 7-up or
pokaire" to pass the time. 1t
is also said that they passed
more nights out of Jail than in it.
Such is the way Mckee was
treated in prison. The Marshall
people of course did not know
this when they stated that Cur
rie is treated as Mckee was.

Immigration is what builds up and de-
velops new country, and increases the
value of property. What we want is far

Just at this particular time
Kansas and Colorado are exert
ing themselves to secure immi-
grants and the tide has set west

far superior to that of either of
the states named, and in due
time immigrants will come this
way, but inducements must be

THE seems to be a mania for
publishing daily papers in Tex
as towns. Trials and complete
failures have been made at
Hampstead, Corsicana, McKin-
ney, Paris and Lampasas. Waco
has two good dailies and a third
was started on Monday. Dali
las has five dailies, only two of
which amount to anything. The
average newspaper publisher
learns nothing for the expe-
rience of others, but starts his
daily paper, spends what mon
ey he has and after exhausting
his credit-if he has any
bursts.

The East Texas Patron, of
Crockett,announces that on and
after the Ist April all subscribers
who are in arrears will be drop
ped from the list. The idea
is a good one and should be
adopted by all established pa
pers in the state. The greatest
losses sustained by country
newspapers are through nom
paying subscribers. Were the
figures known those who take
papers and do not pay for them
would be astonished--if a man
who don't pay for his paper can
be as;onished.

The question of a division of
the state pops up every once in
a while, whenever it so happens
that some portion Of the state
is a very little bit dissatisfied at
some imaginary grievance a
proposition is made to divide
the state and set up a little gov
ernment that will remedy all
the evils complained of. The
Victoria Adpoeah hits the nail
square on the head in the fol-
lowing:
"If the state is not able to
support one government, GER
tainly the burden Of two state
governments would not relieve
the people nor insure greater
protection to life and property"

The Brenham BANNER says a well
known wag of that town wants to buy 100
stumptailed dogs, but it puzzles us to I'M
derstand what "wag" could want of dogs
without tsils.-Denison News.
This is a dcgorued piece of
business, but we will endeavor
to enlighten our friends OF the
Mfaos. The wag didn't want
dogs that could wag their tails,
but he wanted dogs with stum-
Ply, perpendicular tails suitable
for the easy attachment of tin
cans. AS soon as the can is at
tached the dog wags himself
away. If his tail was long
enough, he would wag it and
wag the can off, thus defeating
the object for which he was
wanted.
