MORALLY RESPONSIBLE.

A great ado has been made because
the Courier Journal and some other
papers have expressed the opinion
that Conkling, Dorsey and Brady IRE
none too good to have Allotted the
assassination of the President. We
don't believe the Coulier-Journal is
wide of the mark. At the same time
we do not believe they actually did
so by any overt act. But they did
get up causoless and malignant
warfare on the President, which in
fuenced Guiteau to make the attempt

SAN MARCOS INDICATED,

We referred last week to q low,
ill-tempered attack on our town in q
late issue of the San Antonio Light,
in connection with its selection as
tho location Of one of the summer
Normal Institutes now in session in
this State under the auspices of the
managers. of the Peabody Fund
The moving cause of the attack, it
was not concealed, was the disnp-
pointment of the writer that San An
tonic instead of San Marcos was not
selected for the location of one of
said schools. The Light styled San
Antonio "the educational center Of
West Texas and was indignant that
her claims should have been ignored.
80 far as the Light was concerned,
we should not have thought it worth
while to refer further to the subject.
But the following passage from the
Houston Post invites some further
remarks on our part:
Instead of locating the school
which is in session at San Marcos, it
would have been far better to have
placed it at San Antonio. The San
Marcos school may do well, but q
San Antonio school would have done
far better. The school which has
been located at Orange is complete
failure, as may have been expected.
The Arehangel Michael himself could
not getup a successful normal school
in such locality. And this is no
disparagement to Orange as an in
dustrial or social point, but it is only
indicative that it has no attractive
power whatever as normal school
point. The school should in all rca-
son been placed at Houston, and Mr.
Foute, the accomplished gentleman
and scholar who has been brought so
far 10 do an important work, would
now be ''up TO his eve" in his absorb
ing duties with full school instead
Of sitting idly among the pines, and
complaining, with good reason, OF
having nothing to do.
Now as to what is said about Or
ange, If is no Doubt correct, hut j; is
adding insult to injury" to class San
Marcos with orange-the names Of
the two places @ought not to lie men-
toned the same day save by way Of
contrast For more than n dozcn
years past San Marcos has been
widely known rs an odncaional cen

=
lately following tho close Of the war
her people showed tho superior tenn
per they were OF by the erection Of
Coronal Institute building, and tho
establishment Of a high school in II
which was largely attended by pupils
at home and also from n distance,
Prof. Hollingsworth is entitled TO
great credit for leading in this On
terprisc, but his efforts would have
been vain in q less congenial com
munity. ..H
The school at first was established
on non-sectarian basis, which affords
still higher testimony TO tho general
enterprise OF the community. San
Antonio wo believe has now fair
system OF public schools, but ut tho
time referred to, we doubt il she had
anything like rs good a school as
Coronal Institute, even II she yet has.
Where then il tho foundation OF her
prctcnsions as the educational center
of West Texas' Certainly there is
an unusual prcponderancc of ignor-
dnce in her heterogeneous population,
in which the Aztec element is very
conspicuous. Has she n respectable
bookstore, public library, or literary
association? We think not Would
a literary or scientific lecture ''draw"
there? Certainly not. In short San
Antonio is far more distinguished for
traffic, material growth, and beer
drinking, than for educational or in
tellectual enterprise or progress. All
this may be (as the Post says OF Or
ange) "no disparagement to her as
an industrial or social point, but is
only indicative that she has no at
traction whatever as q Normal School
point"
1t is true she is one OF tho largest
and most flourishing cities in the
State, but size is anything but a re-
commentator for the location of q
Normal school. It is attended by
thoughtful, moral, studious persons,
who avoid crowds and dissipation.
We undertake to say that in all points
Of view San Marcos has the advan-
tagc, for the purpose under conside
ration, of San Antonio. She is really
more of an educational literary and
intellectual center; her natural sur
roundings are handsomer; she is very
much cooler and healthier; has II
vastly purer natural as well as moral
atmosphere; isequally accessible, and
is exemptfrom noise, dirt, anda thous-
and other annoyances of q large
city.
While therefore Prof. Holdings
worth may have made some mistakes
as to tho location Of the Peabody |
Normal schools, San Marcos is Ger
tainly not one Of them. She is pre-
eminently the place for the West
Texas branch, and we are glad to feel
assured that it will be continued and
made permanent in her midst.
We have no doubt but compar-
ison would show that the branch at
this place is exceptionally well at
tended and prosperous, so we trust
our cotemporaries will in future save
their jeremiales arover her selection.
