shows that there is no lack of interest ON our
part.
! am glad to say that one of our directors
tDr- Mountainl. has paid us a visit this
month, and has given us words of encour-
agement, for which We as a school feel
thankful. On the other hand | feel sorry tn
say that not a single visit has been paid us
by our worthy citizens. The citizens seem
to forget that the success of a teacher and
school depends greatly on the cooperation
OF the parents. While We have no reason to
complain, and feel confident that our school
is in good working order, yet We would be
glad to have directors and parents call and
see US.

4 correspondent writes US as follows:
You are getting real vain about your town
md the improvements. You need to advertise
the great need Of proper buildings for board
inp strangers. Ifthe monied men want the
town to improve, why can't they have no.
tel Mt the head of the river? l don't see
why YOU don't give the subject some thought
and show outsiders what a good chance
there is for those who understand the busi-
ness
Tn reply to the above we will state that
we have frequently called public attention
TO the above subject, but we regret to say,
without much effect We know that last
year there was good deal of complaint
among our visitors about the lack OF suit,
able accommodations here, and some were
even compelled to leave because of the want
of them. 1t is Quite surprising to us that
this state Of affairs should be allowed. The
presence of transient visitors can not only
BE- tur ed to pecrniary profit, but also to
The advantage and reputation of our town
in various other ways. San Marcos we
doubt not could be made one of the most
popular summer nnd winter resorts in the
state. but it will require some effort to
bring about that result

More than ordinary interest Is felt ana OK

of the Legislature in regard to convict Ia

vision for the prompt trial and punishment
of those guilty Of stealing not only OF child

failure in these matters sounds tho death
knell to the Democracy in this state. why
sir, one of the strongest planks in the plat
form made at Galveston, was the one III TO-
gard to railroad Legislation, not harsh RUDE
or oppressive, but to make them deal iairiy
and honestly with the people Carry freight
for Tom and Dick according to weight ana
distance. Will the action Of this legislature
send to the world the sad news that Texas
cannot control the railroad corporations!

one in a thousand voters that knows any
better and will vote for the democratic nom
inee anyhow" Don't solace yourself TOO

hideous monsters, fraud, dishonesty, and
corruption, that even the blind can see
How long will or can party live who simp-

The PenitentIary job.

Senator Houston says that the acuon o.
the majority of the Senate is endorsed o!
tho people; that there has been mo oppo
sition found among the people OF this stat'
covering IL and that il is only heard ron
a few dissatisfied newspapers, and IRON
some aspiring politicians, who would haras'
mud fling at the state administration" Mr..
Uouston's assertions are far more incorrect
than the style of his composition. In proof
II NAV be stated that the Houston Age, the
Pamela Waterman and the Marshall Herald
are the only papers in Texas advocating this
lease. The San Antonio papers give 1t a
weak sort of endorsement and there is the
end of the list. Eine-tenths of the people
of Texas endorse resumption and a few poll.
ticians, who are crazy for place, will find
this out In 1851.
We endorse the above, which we copy
from the Austin Statesman. We have no.
ticed the tenor of our exchanges and other
indications of public sentiment, and are
convinced that the Statesman is correct.
The Senate, being composed presumably OF
intelligent, we'll informed men, we are
driven to the conclusion that they kne" they
were disappearing their constituents IN
the action taken on the subject. Nothing
was ever palmer than tho general condem-
dation of the people of Texas of the present
system of leasing the penitentiary and hiring
out the convicts by an unscrupulous, mer-
cenary ring.
But it is argued that resumption of the
charge of the penitentiaries by the state,
though SO much sought for by private COM
panies as a source of profit, would be ruin
Gus. The Galveston News thus forcibly re-
plies to this sort of argument:
It carries on it's face the presumption that
from sheer force of incompetency, so to
sneak. this government is under the neces-
sitv of resiening to private speculation,
intent solely on private profit the admins
trot;on of the largest branch of the states
criminal justice together with the state
prison discipline and penal servitude Inc
further presumption is, OF course tnat II
the state government has the temerlty 10
undertake this business On its own hnanclai
account, it would suffer rtilnous loss, but
that the business, left to the superior man
agement of O speculative deputy govern
ment under no practicable responsibility to
the people or representatives, is certain to
be self sustaining and to yield handsome
gain above all expenses Is it any wonder
that so.called penitentiary SYSTEM, found
cd upon fuch theory, inspired with such
incentives marked by such conditions, has
alwas been d monstrous tumor upon the
body of any commonwealth where it was
permitted to grow. 1t can never be good
for the public interest to create as an ad-
junct Of government a system in which ay-
arice is invested with power by methods
which tend to blunt the moral sense In the
degree that they alternate and cover up re-
sponsibility, and system whose very nature
it must be to generate evil influences IN pol
itics and public life for its own perpetual
ton and aggrandizement.
