4 Recitation.


The so-called Christian Advocate, of Gal
weston, March 81, 1880 calls the Mute Ran
ger "literary monstrosity and State money
consuming absurdity." The idea intended to
be conveyed is that the Ranger is run upon
the money of the State of Texas, and it is
false The editor of the Advocate is called
upon to produce his authority for the state
ment. The same article comments upon
Colonel Ford, and suggests several things
concerning him. The Advocate man has Il
right to his opinion, but when he mtimStes
that Colonel Ford misuses "tax payers
money" by applying it to unlawful purposes
he utters SANDER, ana is deed to the proof
The appropriations to support and maintain
the Deaf and Dumb asylum are controlled
by Board of Trustees, which consists of
DR.. r. VI. Swearingen, president; DR., Shap-
ard, a Methodist minister; DR.. Lee, nm Episco-
palian minister; Captain George W. Samp-
son, and James w. Smith, esq. If the Ran
ger has been supported by State money
these gentlemen are guilty of great wrong.
Inasmuch as the State has no connection
with the Ranger, they cannot be held ae-
countable for its management
