Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-General Pleason-
ton says the only mistake General Crook
made in his last Indian campaign was in not
leaving the captured hostiles to the tender
mercies of the Mexicans instead of bringing
them back into the territories. General
Pleasonton says the Mexican would have
settled the question now bothering the cabi-
net in short order and finally. The hostiles
would have been obliged to wage further
wars from the happy hunting-grounds.

Fort Wortb's Schools,

Fort Worth's splendid system Of
free-schools is the admiration OF
strangers and the pride of her own
citizens. 1t is essentially n Fort
Worth enterprise, for it was Fort
Worth money, raised by tax of fifty
cents on the 800, which tax was as
sumed by virtually unanimous vote
of her citizens, that built up our public
schools. Eight school houses and
twenty-five teachers are furnished for
the instruction of our youths in those
branches of useful knowledge that
will make them intelligent citizens.
1t goes without saying, with this ex-
hibit In view, that Fort Worth is u
thoroughly progressive city and be.
lieses in education. 1t is superfiuous
at this day to point out the duty of
providing for the general education of
the children of the state. IL is these
children who will soon be voters and
sovereigns, from whom must come our
governors and lawmakers, and who
will make public opinion. Every cent,
therefore, expended upon their educa-
ton is spent in Certifying the state
against ignorance and faaaticism and
and in building up
promoting temperance in
true ideas of honor, dillusing
wealth and making society more
benevolent. The state owes its chill
iren the debt of an education, and
IL it fails to pay the dishonored debt
will plague it to moral bankruptcy.

Cotton Ties.

Among the little" things that may
he taken into account in making up
the bill of costs paid to the protection
lists by the cotton farmers of Texas, let
them consider the extra price paid for
the iron ties that bind their bales. Let
each farmer put down the cost per bale
of his ties, multiply that by 100000,
the number of bales produced, and re-
member that of this sum he could save
60 per cent, or over two-thirds, if il
were not for the tariff taA. Let him
remember that on the goods made by
the Eastern mill owners out of the
cotton he raises, he pays an additional
price Of from % to 70 per cent.-that
is, tor every dollars worth of goods he
buys from them, he pays Sl.35 to Sl.75.
Then let him reflect that he is not pro-
tected one cents worth-then 20 ahead
and vote TO, the Republican party to
continue this tax.

The Troubles Of the Blessed Wousl


The lady postmaster Tor postmistress
if the reader prefers) does not epioy
immunity, any more than her male
brother, from the greed of the "outsn
who are wanting to get in. Mrs.
Burchlll, here in Fort Worth, could
no doubt contribute an interesting eN-
perience of her own, as to the trials
and tribulations of woman in Office,
and wherever the gentier sex has had
representation in the distribution of
federal patronage it is found that men
are none too gallant to refrain from
the same readiness to Dust woman az
man, Nat. Henderson and Wash
Jones We're boon companions until
Wash helped 10 make Miss Ada Tai
bot postmislress Mt Georgetown, and
then the GOODNESS ensued that culmi-
mated in the scene one summer evening
ut Austin. 1t is said that Nat. had an
idea that he was about the size for the
Georgetown postoilice. And lately
another Texas girl Miss Field who
has been postmistress, aud an efficient
one, at Indianola, has had to fight
hard for the reappointment she had
earned. Her opponent urged that
very ungallant argument that she was
about to marry, which would impair
her efficiency" Was the like ever
heard? But Postmaster-General Ores
ham, who Is married man and
knows how 1t is himself, came to the
rescue and Miss Field will get her
postotlice again and her husband, too.

II it was not so serious matter il
would be laughable to note the ter
giversations of certain newspapers on
the fence-cutting question. At first
when cattlemen only We're the suf-
ferers-it was war between farmers
and stockmen, the farmers resenting
the aggressions of cattle-kings. Now,
that farm fences are cut i'm purely ag-
ricultural regions, these papers say:
There is evidently widespread
combination, there is an organization
whose purpose is the destruction of ag-
riculture in the interests of stock grow
ing" Always "stock raisingm, 1t
was the aggressions of "stock raisers"
that made farmers cut fences, and now
it is 'stock raisers" who cut farmers
fences! Wonderful discerpment! If
the Legislators OF Texas are moved by
the same prejudice, it will be made
felony to own more than mich cow.

In has been found out that high
water Is no more a preventive of the
crime OF fence cutting than II is of the
crime of murder. If the newspapers
which now call on the legislature to
stop fence-cutting because farmers
fences are cut, had denounced the
crime when the operations of the
criminals were confined to the prop
erty of cattlemen, in all probability
the agricultural regions would not to-
day be mourning cut fences. A man

GALVESTON has Mt last formulated
plans for the erection of the public
school building which is to be paid for

$4,000, and will be, so far as we know,

Mr.. Ball will live long enough to see
it not only completed, but fairly en-
