wish to see and experience an improvement
in the educational facilities Of the State will do
themselves and the rising generation favor
if they vote for the adoption of the amend
ments. The constitution of Texas is one that
needs very great amount Of patching to make
it conform to the requirements OF this nine
teenth century. And the "Rutabaga" party
need about the same improvement in order to
keep pace with the times, and it is to be hoped
that they will not exercise any great influence
upon the issues involved, and that they will
be in the minority, "by large majority"
when the votes are counted.

A rather amusing scene occurred at the
Polo match on Saturday, when a too jealous
believer in the COW boys ability to beat the
Bridshers was talking loudly of what the COW
boys could and would do during the match.
He wanted to bet that the Englishmen would
not get three goals out of five. An America n
gentleman took the wager up, and placing
$500 in the LIGHT Commissioners bands,
offered to lay $Iooto $50 that the Briiishers
would do better than that The COW boys

THE RUTABAGA PARTY

The proposed constitutional amendments
are meeting with considerable opposition from
the non-progressive element in the State,
principally because OF the greater liberalty
expressed in relation to the school laws, and
the supposed increase of certain taxes. While
the amendments are not all that could be
desired in the way Of improvement, yet they
remedy some very glazing defects in the State
constitution, and once adopted, we believe,
will meet with the appreciation of all public
spirited citizens, and voters generally, who

the hall was theirs ana paid for, and the man

As TO the language attributed TO Mrs. Smith,
"rutflan,' "ruilianly scoundrel,' ia not the
truth, aud Mrs SIS appeal was not to remain to
hear her through, but to befrieud them against

makes no difference to the principles in ques-
ton.
The man IN entering the hall In the manner
he did, trampled, not upon the rights of the
lecturess, as on the rights of the audience, de-
priving them of that for which they had paid,
and, to be mild, was discourteous, unmanly
and manifested want of respect for the
rights of Others as also selfrespect.
Where the travellers were when the police
were looking for them, Is no more OF MYSTERY
than where the police were when was looking
for them.
The only exception that could take to the
language of Mrs. Smith, was hOr charge on the
police, and that could not disprove. Hers
was the language of Il spirited woman feeling

But, to make one other CORE .tion there
was no arrest until after the lecture.

"There is no more powerful apparatus for
the conveyance OF disease than book, says
the London Lancet. A list Of the maladies
most easily conveyed by means Of books is
given as follows: "Measles, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, sore throat, whooping-cough,
bronchitis, and perhaps phthisis." The
germs of disease ''may lie for weeks, months,
