The constitution requires the in
vestment of the permanent school
fund of the state and of the counties,
in state or in United States bonds. 1t
Will not be long before investment in
state bonds will be an impossibillty,
since none will be for sale; and to pay
an enormous premium, thus en-
failing heavy loss upon the school
fund. in the poor class of United
States bonds. is unwise. To change
the fundamental law so as to allow
Investments in other forms of securi-
ties seems necessity, and yet
it is one calling for the
most considerate action by the legisla-
ture in framing constitutional
amendment; and should it he adopted
it will then require of the responsible
state officials the greatest degree of c;lre
in selecting such securities us may not
entail loss upon the fund. When this
subject is thought of, it suggests more
than ever the perpetuation of a plan
of disposal for school lands
which will produce an annual
revenue, without payments upon
principal. If it were possible. the
principal arising from the sale of the
school lands should ever remain with
purchasers. The rate of interest
should be low enough to induce the
perpetual payment of interest on the
retention of principal.

THE STATESMAN learns with pleas
ure that, the hall of the house of rep
resentatives having been rendered for
the occasion. Gen. George ID. John
ston, of Alabama. will deliver an adj
dress this evening at $50 o'clock on
the subject of the Southern Histori-
cal Society,"" Consecrated, as is this
association. to the sacred duty of vim
dicating and preserving the truth of
history. especially in its relation to
the general Confederate struggle, it
is entitled to the interest and sympa-
thy of every lover of truth and JUS
tice, and appeals to the heart and
hand of every Texan. The character
of the living and the memory of the
dead are alike involved in the noble
work. Justice in ourselves, justice to
our dead comrades, demands of us its
encouragement and support. Let our
people generally be present at this
meeting, and there testify their sense
of its great injustice; and let our
glorious women, who have ever been
a faitnfvl and devoted to rhe Ohliga-
tion and memories of the Lost Cause,
adorn and emphasize the occasion by
their presence also.

VOL. XII.

THE Decatur Tribune thinks 1t
would be unwise to take the manage
ment of railroad property out OF
the care of 'those who furnished the
money for its construction. and place
it in the hands of a commission, whose
only known ability will he the ability
to regularly draw their salaries" The
hill provides that the commission
ers be paid 4 salary of S2oOO
each, and, as the sTATESMAN
put il, some days ago, it
would he the height of absurdity to
employ $500 commission to take
care of property worth S2OO,OUO'OOO.
The Tribune finds most serious Objec-
ton to the provision regarding dis
crimination between places. On this
subject it says:
This section, i'll the first place, at
teiupts to re-enact what is already
law, and then spoils the whole thing
by providing that ut points of inter
section railroads may make their own
rates without reference to the rates Of
charges on the balance of their road.
For instance, an inflexible schedule
of charges for freight will be fixed for
Decatur. This will be done 10y the
law, and cannot be altered or changed; /;
but ut Fort Worth the bride will be
pulled OFF and railroads permitted to
fix their rates regardless of or without
reference to the law. The latter clause
of section twelve of the bill will,
we imagine, be interesting reading to
merchants of Decatur. Henrietta,
Bowie, Weatherford and all interme-
date points, where facilities for COM
petition are not possessed. If the
Chenoweth bill become law as we
understand it, Decatur will not be
able to ship five hundred bales OF cot
ton next year; and we believe property
n all towns on the railroads, at points
other than competible, will greatly
decrease in value, and such places rs
Fort Worth and Dallas, and other
places where there is competition,
will build up at the expense of inter-
mediate points.
The Tribune thinks the bill will
have worse sailing, should this pro-
vision be removed. In support of
this position it is said that "a repre-
sentative in the legislature represent
ing intermediate points cannot afford
to support the bill as it stands, and if
the proviso should be striken out
those who represent what may be
termed cross-road points cannot afford
to support the bill"

Mr.. GLADSTONE has a curious idea
about governing Ireland. When Dis
raeh and the Tories were in power he,
himself. used abusive and threatening
language to the government which
far surprised in malevolence that
used by Dayitt, Healy and others,
yet the premier has these gen.
tlemen arrested and jailed for
trying to make war on the govern
ment. If Mr.. Gladstone had been
dealt with after his own idea of trea-
sonable practice by the Tories a few
years ago, he would have been put in
jail An Englishman is allowed to
criticise and abuse the government as
much as he pleases, but it isa crime
for an Irish subject of the queen to do
the same thing.

1T Is admitted that in many por-
tions of the state the plan of permit
ting school districts to be specially
taxed, would be a great hardship; and
the indications are that the house is
not in favor of providing for such
power. II adopted. however, 1t must
be in the shape of an amendment to
the constitution, to be ratified by
the people. Yesterday the house
refused to allow this provision to be
saddled upon the one for a specific
school tax. and call for a severance OF
the two prevailed. The specific tax, not
to exceed twenty-five cents ON the hun
dred dollars, win be adopted; the dis
trict tax proposition may be defeated
Certainly the specific state tax. with
the vast permanent fund behind it,
ought to be enough for all commu-

THE Chicago Railway Age has Just
published tables showing the number

ending June, 1880: According to the
census there were of passengers 270.-
0OO,O00 and of employees 1900. OF
the passengers only 21 were killed
without their own carelessness, or one
to every l.6l1.000. One passenger to
every S4.420 received injuries and one
employe to every All. One passenger
in every 3.2s2.OOO was killed by his
own carelessness and one to every

ing feature is the small danger to or
dinarily careful passengers. The in

rate and the mortality is terrible.
