TEXAS SCHOOLS.

With a royal provision for the edu-
cation of every child in the state, of
all races, colors and conditions in life,
Texas has as yet but very imperfect
system of public instruction. There
is not doubt that if all the resources
of the states wonderfully benefcent
care for this interest were utilized, the
public schools would be able to main
tain ten months uninterrupted ses-
sion. We would be more than de-
lighted to see the next legislature
eliminate from the system some of
the features which operate now TO re-
tard rather than to forward the objects
in view. The states of the union are fall
ing behind those of Europe in this mat
ter of mass education. Even old Spain
has, within the last three years, adopted
a system which would be an ornament
to any nation of either the old or new
worlds, and the king is president and
always presides at the meetings of the
national teachers association. Texas
is rich almost beyond comparison, and
could well inaugurate and sustain a
system which would be superior to
that maintained in any of the states.
She should do it if for no other or
higher reason than the distinction it
would bring to her.
Aside from all is, the public
school is the engine with which we
must fight the six-shooter whenever
We become earnest in the determina-
ton to stamp out that black blotch
on the states escutcheon. Crime and
lawlessness fly away before the tri
umphant and ever victorious school
master. We are glad to note that
many of the papers of the state are
moving earnestly in the direction of
stirring up this most important mat
ter. 1t is good cause, and too much
effort cannot be given it. ..-

TRAVIS county and the city of Aus
tin ought by all means to buy the
bridge over the Colorado at the foot
of Congress avenue. There are many
cogent reasons why this should be
done, among which there is one to
which we will refer. 1t is this:
Farmers oftentimes have not the
money. In this country this class of
our population gets money only once
year, and at other times has
none. 1t works hardship when they
have little produce to sell to replen-
ish the stock. In this way the country
people are injured, and the city TO TX
are deprived of many a fresh egg,
fresh butter, vegetables and the like;
and the merchants are often deprived
in this way of profitable trade. There
are many more, and many more grave
reasons why this structure should be
owned by the county and made free
causeway. Let the people think of
the matter, and act when the time
comes.

passing. and maid servant came out
on the doorstep and looked up and
down the street. Before she had per-
ceived him, Bill had coolly placed the
bag in her hands, and was preparing to
hurry away.
"Hip' exclaimed the girl. "What is
thisq''
''For your MASTER" answered Bill,
over his shoulder.
II amt got no master. Hi! stopi''
cried the girl, raising her voice as he
vanished.
II say, mate, somebody's a calling of
you!" said an officious errand boy, as
Bill plunged across the road.
Hi! Stop there! You're wantedr'
cried another passer-by, in stentorian
tones.
There seemed to his excited imagin-
alton general disposition on the part
of the by-standers to impede his fight.
and he hastily concluded that it would
be wiser to yield to the hue and cry.
He would stick to his story that he had
been told to leave the bag at that par
ticular house, and he probably would
succeed in making the girl believe him.
With this object he retraced his steps,
gathering assurance as he walked, but,
as ill-luck would have it, who should
stroll up at the same moment but his
vigilant enemy, the constable.
Hi! You've made mistake. This
doesn't belong here. There is no name
on it." said the girl. as he approached.
"What is the matter?' inquired the
constable in n casual wav
''Oi nothing. I've made mistake,
l suppose. as the young lady says so,"
answered Bill, hastily.
He mechanically held out his hand
for the bag as he spoke, but failed to
grasp the handle, and it fell through
his fingers on to the ground. Bill
started back in CONSERVATION, fearing
his last moment had come, and stimuli
taneously he felt himself collared by the
constable.
"Hullo! young fellow. What does
this mean?" exclaimed the officer.
Bill, who had closed his eyes in an
agony of apprehension, ventured to
open them again, and perceived that
the shock of the fall had burst open the
bag, the contents of which were scat
tered upon the doorstep. To his amaze
ment. they consisted of miscellaneous
collection of silver plate and jewelry,
which made quite an imposing display
The articles had evidently been bun
died unceremoniously into the bag, and
were, no doubt, the proceeds of some
recent robbery.
The constable naturally concluded
that it was his duty to escort Bill to the
nearest police station to make the nee
essary explanations. During the jour-
ney, Bills reflections inclined to bitter
ness as he realized how foolishly he had
abandoned rich prize. The metallic
rattle which had startled him had been
due to careless packing, and, altogether,
he perceived that he had fallen VIC
tim to senseless scare. Needless to
say, his ingenious story of having re-
ceived the bag from nameless
stranger was not considered satisfac-
tory, and as the valuables were identi-
fed by pawnbroker in the Strand.
whose premises had been burglariously
entered during the evening, Bill re-
ceived the full credit of the transaction
and was rewarded accordingly.

Let the Radical Rave.

If the Democrats had carried out a
negative policy by electing a Speaker of
the House of Representative who would
have done nothing during the session of
the Forty-eighth Congress, the Repub-
lcans would have pointed to the Demo-
cratic party in 1884 as party of silence
and equivocation. And now that q
fearless man of honest convictions has
been chosen-a man who stands as the
exponent of an intelligent policy, the
Requirements are attempt 'hg 70 array the
minority of our party Against the ma
jority, hoping to cause 4 split in time
for the Presidential campaign ri
But the Democratic party was never
more united than it is to day, and all
insiduous attempts to cause disafec-
tioA. will prove futile. The, Republican
press, with few exceptions, is attack
ing the Carlisle policy; but %. much the
better tor the Democrats. Opposition
to rings and Jobs. reyenue refornls and
honest administration ~ pnb}ic affairs
will constitute the ground upon which
the Democrats will work and fight.
The Republican party would try to
nake;eapital out OF any course that the
opposing party might adopt. Whether
we remained in negative, silent posi-
ton, or whether we chose an ag-
gressive policy. the Republicans
would attack us. But the truth re-
mains all the same that the Republican
party is party of corruption and Sec
tional passion; that Il cOnuives ct in
iquity and lets rascals go unpublished;
that its favorite method Is to carry
elections by Government machinery;
that its object is to centralize the Gov
eminent and t1us suppress the voice of
freedom; that its sympathies are with
the monopolists as against the people.
1t does not surprise us, then. to see
these corrupt politicians frantically cry
ing out against the peoples party,
watch represents the policy Just the re-
verse of that of the corruption party.
Speaker Carlisle is an outspoken
statesman, and we have confidence in
is ability to preside over tie House in
. manner that will reflect the greatest
credit upon the Democratic party.
Let the Republicans continue with
their ring-rule policy, and let the Demo-
Gratis stand together in their opposition
TO Republican corruption, and tie Dem
ocrats win win every time. We ara
satisfied that Congress viii so admin
ster the affairs of the people that the
dominant party there viii be in better
position to 60 before the country next
fall than it has ever been before. Let
the Radicals rave; but the Radicals must
be defeated in 1884. Richmond Stote.

Cultivate Cheerfulness.

Whatever the decision may cost you,
having once decided to do thing, do
it cheerfully.
Favors grudgingly granted are only
half favors after all, for which we
never can feel quite grateful; kind re-
fusal is less embarrassing.
The chances in life, the good chances,
are three to one in favor of the one
who is able to meet his fate with cheer
fulness.
The master learns to love and trust
the cheerful servant; the servant loves
the cheerful master, and if it should
fall to your lot to fill tho servants
place. better go smilingly to the task
allotted you. If it be an easy one you
have no cause to grumble and COM
plain. If it be an onerous
one, sullen looks and muttered
excavations will not make it a little the
easier. If you are fretful, fault-find-
ing, unfaithful servant, you would prob
ably be a worse master, for cheerful
ness is not the inseperable adjunct of
wealth or high station, but may be
found quite as often, much more often
in fact, among the poor and the lowly.
One countenance constantly wearing
the frown of displeasure or look OF
''brooding melancholy is enough to
cast gloom over the happiest family
circle; even q foolish cat which refuses
to purr at the stroke of friendly hand
gives one afeeling of disagreeableness.
No matter how hard our lot in life
may be, it is foolishly wrong to be al
ways grumbling and complaining about
It, for the simple reason that we are
not benefited by it, whileit renders us
disagreeable to all with whom we come
in contact, and destroys in us the I'm
fluence for good which always accom-
panies checrfulness. Mrs. III. A. Chute,

WOMAN.

Dear womani Strange IT Is that she
Such opposftes involves;
And very deep a man must be
Who that enigma solves.
Just view her as she, smiling, stands;
A paradox is there;
Look at her soft and dimpled hands
Yet how she bangs her hair!
How woman studies to unite
Economy with taste;
But spite Of that you'll find I'm right,
She loves little waist.
In such soft arms there seems to be
just strength TO WELD fan;
But still you'll find how thoroughly
She shakes poor young man.
Her unassuming modesly
The mind with wonder fills:
But then just see how easily
She puts on lots Of frills.
But woman's heart is kind and warm
Her faults are trivial, small;
Her beauty lends to all a charm
Her love atones for all.
