The democratic fight at Cincinnati grows more
violent and rrepressible with each succeeding day.
The Enquirer. Boss McLean'S organ, holds Senator
Pendl'tOn responsible for the bolt against the
county ticket, and In columns OF double-leaded
editorial denounces the Senator In the most vim
dictive language. The Neps-JoWnal, the new
democratic paper which has kept quiet for po1cy's
sake so far has felt called upon to speak, and it
answers the EhQifrer's denunciatiOns by declar-
Ing That unless Mclean Is muzzled there Is no

ations with the masses Of the people.
His qualifications as an ed
ucator are OF the highest mo-
ment, yet are rarely taken
into consideration. A school superin-
tendent should be himself a practical
teacher. IL IL objected by Governor
RoBERTs that this system would Gre
ate an army OF office holders engaged
In "a common purpose Of sclf-aggran-
dizemen.t The same charge might rs
Justly be preferred against district
judges, sherins, clerks and county
attorneys, who also compose
Gan army of olliceholders, y
but against whom such a
serious charge has never been pre-
ferred. The second objection urged by
the governor Is the power of taxation
with which it Is proposed to invest the
people of the districts. This position
Is certainly untenable. There could
not be II safer Judgment Of this power
than with the people. They could de-
eide for themselves whether special
tax for school purposes should be inn
posed and to what amount. 1t would
be under their control, through their
trustees. and expended in the edu-
cation OF their own children, which of
itself would be sufficient guarantee
of the honest and faithful application
to the purpose for which it was in
tended. Ifthe light Of experience is
ofany value, it certainly teaches that
this is the best, and indeed the only
system yet devised by those who have
devoted their lives to the promotion of
the cause OF education which has been
successful. The GAZETTE is inn
pressed with the urgent necessity of
an Improvement in the free school
system of Texas, il any benefit is to
be derived thercfrom, and ii is willing
to be guided by the experience of the
states whose schools have been
eminently successful under the dis
trict system.

STATE PRESS THOUGHTS.

The East Texas Nelcs thinks Con-
gresham Epson is frightened, and
wants standing army to put down
labor strikes.
The Dallas Times thinks that the
railroad men, cattlenen, and land
men now congrcgated in Austin, care
there on business"
The Cleburnc Chronicle thinks the
consolidation Of the branches of the
supreme court at Austin would be in
the interest of economy and efficiency.
The Galveston Neps thinks the
question of prohibition should he
made to wait until the land, peniten-
tiary, railroad and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
is settled.
The Greenville Heratd thinks the
State University will he the bone of
contention in the Eighteenth Legisla-
ture, and that its organization was
premature.
The Sherman Courier thinks the
Eighteenth Legislature will be equal
to the magnitude of the work before
them, and that much good legislation
will be enacted.
The statesman thinks the third
house should be religiously excluded
from deliberations as to the construc-
ton of the new land law, and from
voice in its defeat.
The Seguin Times thinks IL would
be useless to submit prohibitory
amendment TO the constitution when
local option cannot be passed in a ma
iority of the counties.
The Williamson County SIN thinks
that the present exemption laws per-
init unserupulous men to swindle
their fellow men, and begets thieves
and raises up full.hedged robbers.
The Kaufman SIN thinks that the
great need of the times is law that
VIII prevent needless delay in the adj
ininistration of justice, and insure the
speedy punishment of all criminals.
The Independent Blade thinks that
the man who worships the fortune he
mas made, is no more IN Nelligent than
the heather who prays u The little
wooden god he has whitfield into
shape.
The Castrovillo QmR thinks that
the Eighteenth Legislature can cover
Itself all over with glory by providing
constitutional amendments, ON the
Judiciary, land, school and railroad
clause, and adjourning sine die.
The San Antonio Times thinks that
IN a few more years Texas will pro-
duce more cotton, corn and wheat than
amy state in the Union, and that the
construction of railroads should he
encouraged in order to transport these
products.
