measure Of progress in the work of educating
their own people, and this fact alone is no
uncomfortable factor in determining what as
sistance should be given them"
THE Decatur Tribune sounds key note in
the following sensible item "Nearly every
Texas paper we pick up gives an account of
young men and women returning home from
schools in other States. How long will it be
before our own educational institutions will
be in condition to accommodate the chill
dren of our people. The money spent yearly
in sending boys and girls from Texas to other
States to acquire an education amounts to
hundreds of thousands OF dollars. This should
cease; Texas boasts Of the finest climate, the
most generous soil, the most energetic and
hospitable people Of any State in the Union,
and we certainly have the most munifcent
school fund of any country on earth, and why
is it that the parents Of Texas will persist in
sending children from the confines of their
own State to obtain that which should be fur
nished within the limits of Texas is a

MANUFACTORIEs.

That San Antonio is growing rapidly in the
way OF buildings and population is plain to
be seen on every hand, and the great advance
made in real estate is indicative OF still
larger growth. While this prosperity is crafty
ing in itself, yet the city is show in the
growth of manufacturing establishments that
is quite noticeable. We have natural advant-
ages sufficient TO make this city.the greatest in
the whole Southwest, in that respect, but
there seems to be lacking the proper appreci-
alton of the fact.
Our neighbor Of the Express in Sunday
morning made some well-timed and valuable
hints about the establishment of a wooden
mandatory at this point, which we trust will
not be passed UNDECIDED. This is the wool
market for vast region Of country, and is
also the Quitting point for ranch and stock
men generally, and it looks to be within the
range of easy possibilities to establish and sue
cessfully operate one or a number of good
manufacturing establishments Of that class.
The members of the exchange, as suggested
by the Express, could easily obtain all the in
formation necessary in regard to such an en-
terprise and thereby give some of our home
capitalists an opportunity to invest their sur
plus in an undertaking that would not only
prove profitable to themselves, but would add
much to the prosperity and advancement of
the city.
CINCINNATI, July 23.-Last night, in Wood

father and son alleged that he should have
done so sooner to save her honor. They met
last evening and quickly shot Williams.

THE HEALTH organizations all over the
country are being gratuitously provided with
advice, at the present time, in view of the
probable approach Of the Asiatic cholera
While it may not reach this country before
next year, yet it is likely to come sooner or
later. The State Board of Indiana has already
taken the subject in hand and have sent out
circulars to the authorities of every town and
city pointing out the great and absolute i'm
portance Of extreme private and public clean
illness in the way of removing all filth of every
sort from streets, alleys, back yards and eel
lars, and, above all, the importance OF having
drinking water uncontaminated by sewerage.
IN AN article on Southern Illiteracy," the
St. Louis Globe Democrat says: "The

next Congress on the subject. The project
might deserve more encouragement than it
will actually receive if a creditable showing
were made of what has actually been done

THE question of voting upon the proposed
constitutional amendments is being pretty

The amendment looking to the increase of

support of every citizen. Education is cheap

A MODERN philosopher, having considered
the subject thoroughly, boldly states that
'nothing disgusts the small boy so much as
seeing policeman riding on the back steps
of street car. He can't see why a police
man, who rides free, and weighs as much as
half dozen small boys, is of any more ad-
vantage to the car company than a small boy
who doesn't pay"
