FAN Austin special speaks of tho pro-
posed reformatory school, and as every.
thing from Austin smacks of bonds our
correspondent says the idea prevails
thore that Improvement bonds should
be issued, The HERALD IS opposed to
issuing bonds and wants to see those
now out taken in. The deficiency is
too small for bonds and the precedent
would be too great. Let us worry along
without bonds. 1t won't take long to
got on; of our very small trouble. But
above all things don't start for Texas a
bonded indebtedness. The HERALD
DONE even like propositions of the
kind.

will make an effort to choose those who will
give most satisfaction to the country. ]
