Prohibition Meeting.

The st. John and Daniel club (Prohi
bition) met last night at Odd Fellows
hall. There were fifteen persons pres
ent, including three ladies. A perma
ment organization was effected by thu
election of A. Wisher as president anC
John Heatherington, secretary.
Mr.. Wisher, on taking the chair, made
an address, giving short history of the
temperance movement, and predicting
final triumph of its principles. He alst
read statistics as to the extent of the
liquor traffic, At the conclusion of his
address he submitted the following resO
lutions, which were adopted:
Resolved, That committee be ap
pointed to address candidates i'm thi!
county and senatorial and judicial dis
trict, interrogatories. To the first two
as to their position on the question o
submitting to vote of the people an
amendment to the constitution of TexaS
prohibiting the manufacture or sale o
Intoxicating liquors as beverage
within tho limits of the state, and to the
latter as to their position on the enforce
ment of the law, especially of tho gam
ing and Sunday laws, and the temper
anCe question.
Resolved, That said committee be in.
structed to notify said candidates that
delay in answering such interrogatOries
beyond reasonable time prior to the
election, sufficient to give notice to the
voters of the counties and districts, will
be construed as an indication that such
candidates as do 50 are not in accord
with this question.
The chair appointed Messrs. w. d.
Knowles, j. w. Strong and j. w. Dart
AS such committee.
The chair announced that Mr.. Gill, the
agent Of theAmericanS Sunday school Tn
ion, was present, and called upon him
to address the club. Mr. Gill responded
and stated that he was engaged in the
work of building up Sunday-schools in
the state; that he was Il prohibitionist,
and that his work was intended
and calculated to Undue i'm
tho minds of the young
the principles of prohibition. The
speaker went oyer good deal of ground
on the prohibition movement, but
pretty plainly showed that his political
principles were closely connected with
the success of Republicanism. Other
addresses were delivered by Messrs
Armstrong and Knowles.
The meeting adjourned, after passing
vote of thanks TO the odd Fellows, for
the use of their hall.

The City Public Schools,

1t seems that this has been subject
roliic of newspaper articles of late,
ON puffs laudatory of the sUperintend-
ut, the popularity and efficiency of the
,hools, the course of instruction, the
cading, etc., to occasionally very mild
'iticism thereof.
1t is not the object of this article to
citicise for criticism sake, to pull down
{ build up any man or system, but to
Ill attention to few things that might
ave been more in accord with the spirit
nd letter of the law, as well as our So
al relations, and TO correct some i'm
ression that may be abroad in the
md. 1t is not to be expected of
any man AS superintendent that he
0 able to perfect in SO short time
lodel schools under system radically
iflerent from the one formerly in
ogue. Nor do we see how il is possible
,r schools to BIO in perfect working
rider "the first hour of the first day of
ne first week." Nor is this the fact, as
an be fully corrOborated by many
atrons, who were week or more in
aving their children located as to
chools, many of whom to-day are re-
ewing instruction only ono-half the

ession. We have often heard that a
alf was better than no loaf ut all, but
believe the former our faith must not
My be blind, but we must admit,
what fools we mortals have always
GEN.
The system under which our schools
re now being conducted is, we think, a
God one. We have no doubt time will
evelop the necessity for some import
mt changes, some of which are now
atent, among which we mention the
efficiency i'm accommodations and the
ick of sufficient funds to sustain an
dequate number of schools for n session
at least nine months. Experience,

which so plainly provides for separate
