SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Junets2, 1883.
To the Honorable School Board:
GENTLEMEN-It must be apparent to all who
have given the subject any thought that some
more definite plan must be adopted for the
management of our public schools other than
the present system. The City Council as a body
is too numerous in the first plaza to be called
together ON all occa ions requiring action in
the matter of school government, and the Com
mittee onS choos is without authority really to
act in the ordinary details without their con-
sent consequently the schools are left TO drift
along without any responsible and authOrita-
tive direction This state of affairs If a q URGE
of anxiety and concern TO your superintendent
as well us committee, and, rs the schools are
constantly increasing in importance, a correc-
tion should he applied at once To this end |
make the following suggestions: That one al
derman from each ward be elected by the City
Council by ballot that two citizens be selected
in the same manner, who, with the Mayor,
shall constitute board of education. That the
Council shall remit to such board the sole con-
troll of all matter touching the interests of our
public schools, except the regulation of the
salaries OF teachers and the voting of supplies;
that these last mentioned subjects shall be by
estimate. submitted at the beginning Of each
scholastic year by the board to the City COun-

his distinguished retinue Of guests;

for that reason, il none else, it is the
duty Of every single member of the
population to cheerfully lend assist

will surprise the strangers and give
them some idea of the energy and

cordially invite the people Of our
neighboring and sister towns, and
the large number Of farmers in the
vicinity to come in and aid in making
the affair a success. There will be

1t has been said that farmers were
unable to find a market in Spokane
Falls for their produce. This may
have applied to years past, but it
won't wash now. The farmers of
eastern Washington, whether living
one mile or fifty miles from here, can
now bring their grain INTO this city
by the wheelbarrOw load or the car
load and find a ready sale for the
same at the highest quoted market
rates. 1t will be seen by card in an
other column that g. II. Morgan &
Co. have entered the field for the
purpose Of buying grain, and are
ready to take an unlimited quantity
Of wheat, oats and barley. This firm
has facilities for storing the grain
and are anxious to handle a large pile
Of 1t this fall. They are backed with
plenty Of capital and can and will pay
cash down. We are exceedingly
pleased to note this disposition on
the part Of resident firms to make a
home market for cereals and are sat
ished that when farmers understand
that they can find a ready sale here
for their produce here Is where they
will do their business.

Last Friday evening the ladies Of
the Methodist Church Of this place
gave social entertainment in the
church edifCe that was very largely
attended. The ladies Of that religious
denomination have a very neat and
pleasant wayOfmanaging little affairs
Of that description, which creates a
desire in the community to be on
hand when anything is going on
under their auspices. We can not
write from personal observation on
this particular occasion, but from all
we can learn the social can be pro-
nounced eminently successful. The
audience was treated to a brief pro-
gramme Of literary exercises, which
was happily carried out and rewarded
with the customary applause. After
this feature the evening was given
over to social intercourse, not to for
get the necessary refreshments.

very cordial reception rendered US on
last Monday evening, and also to re-
cord our gratitude for the very liberal
donation we received in connection
Herewith. The whole thing was en-
tirely unexpected by us, and was an
expression of welcome and esteem
which will long be remembered. To
each and all who in any way contrib
uted to the success and njOyment Of
the occasion, we tender our hearty
and sincere thanks.

The world renowned Harry Aims
ley's Surprise Party treated the pub
lie, or that portion to whom the
troupe was indebted, to a genuine
surprise last Saturday night. The
forerunner Of the company got into
town in the middle Of the week, we
presume on a tie pass, and bemoaned
the poverty Of the city in not con-
taining a hall with a seating capacity
Of 1000 souls. His troupe merely
condescended to stop over here on
the way to New York City and Lon
don, having previously found but
one city on the coast, San Francisco,
where the inducements warranted
them in performing. He had missed
his paper on the rOad-presumahIy
a paper cOllar-and was not fixed to
bill the city with the usual ecLat, but
would make programmes answer the
purpose. He also introduced new

how many were gulled in this man.
ner, but from the stupendOus crowd
that assembled that evening we
would judge not a million. He was
also prodigal in the distribution of
complimentary passes, a charitable
disposition that worked him into
fieeting popularity. Friday night
the show crowd drifted in though
the smoke and darkness, occupying
three coaches - one man to each
coach. The lights strolled down into
the city, while the traps, consisting
of II bundle tied up in newspaper
and cigar box Of burnt cork, was
transported by Il small boy. Satur-
day night the company put on their
war paint for business in ,Cannon's
Hall. Eight o'clock arrived, but the
chairs refused to fill. A very few
dropped in, but the unappreciative
population refused to come to the
rescue. At this juncture the pro-
PrietOr seeing no hopes of securing
his rent for the hall unceremoniOudy
chucked the performers out into the
street, The kicking among the hold
ers Of passes was painful to observe,
while those who had put their trust
in the company for divers sums
looked discOnsOlate as they grasped
their bills and thought stiffly in a
language remarkable for its express
iveness. We have nothing to say
against the abilities of the several
performers. They may be teach and
every one bright particular star" in
the profession, and, If given a chance,
might delight crowned heads. But
II they follow the course pursued
here we would not be surprised to
learn at any time Of their being pre-
sented with a boquet Of eggs that
have lost caste in the household, not
withstanding their commercial value
may be rated in a indiscriminate
market at 80 cents per dozen. We
have but the kindliest feeling for the
troupe, and know that they love us,
having left a souvenir in the shape
Of an unpaid bill. The only thing
we do regret is that we did the work
at such reasonable figures.

1t is customary at the completion
Of any great work in which the entire
public are more or less interested, to
celebrate the occasion with demon
stratiOn Of some character. There
fore it is but right that the finish
Of the great trans-continental rail-
road, that is opening up to the world
the glorious northwest, should be re-
cognized with fit and becoming cere-
mOny. In this instance it takes the
shape Of a mechanical operation Of
sinking the last spike connecting the
eastern and western divisions Of the
line. The driving Of this metallic
plug is merely a matter Of parade
and show, and the article to be used
is Of gold and holds its position
merely temporarily, the more busi-
ness like form Of pinning the rails
down having been accomplished sew
eral days ago. This event is to take
place next Saturday, September sth,
and will be witnessed by a large
gathering Of the representative men
of this country, and a large delega-
tiOn Of German Stockholders. Be-
sides these invited guests, no doubt
there will be an immense cOncOurse
Of people collected from all parts Of
the northwest and from along the
line of the road. Such prominent
men as Grant, Lincoln, Evarts, and
others will take part in the proceed
ings. VIM. NJ. Evarts, one Of the
most eloquent orators Of the day, is
to make the cOngratulatOry address,
and it is to be presumed other able
takers will have great deal to say,
as it opens up a field upon which
rhetoric can be drawn without stint
The party will occupy thirty-fve
Pullman palace cars, with dining cars
attached, and the cars are divided
into four trains. Invited guests are
not expected to spend a dollar on the
route for board or lodging. The
trains have already left New York,
and will give the tourists ample OPP
portunity Of reviewing the country
east Of the mountains before reach
ing the spike-driving scene. I'm
mediately after the ceremonies, the
guests start on an excursion through
to the Sound. According to the pro-
gramme laid out, President Willard
and his English and German guests
will lay over Sunday on Pend
dOreille lake, while the American
excursiOnists, including the editorial
crew, will spend Sunday, September
9th, in Spokane Falls. The editorial
party is under the supervision Of that
well-known author and newspaper
correspondent, +. V. Snalley, a gen.
tleman who ranks at the head Of the
profession, and under his manage
ment the showers Of the FabcF will
receive every attention. Sunday
night the trains continue west, pass
ing Tuesday In Portland. From
thence they go to the Sound, and re-
turning will pay Walla Walla visit,
stopping there on the 10Th. The pro-
gramme has been Laid out to take up
every hour Of the time Of the excur-
sionists from the start to the finish,
and It is not likely change will be
made at this late day, as a single |
change would twist the entire plans
out Of shape.
As might be expected, and which |
would be singular n otherwise, the |
towns along the route are preparing |
to give the excursionists a hearty |
welcome, combining the reception

Last Saturday afternoon a Young
fellow from the country, who DOS
scssed a number of outward char
acteristics of a cow boy, rode into
the city and partook freely of that
admixture commonly called wbiskey
and started out for a trip to the north
side Of the river. Over the bridge
he flew, shooting off his pistol as he
went, and adding to the fun BY a
few yelps that would have done

states that any one who drives over
public bridges faster than a walk is
