State superintendent Of Public Instruc.
fiOu

FoRr WORM, July 6.
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
The cry Of practical teacher" for
Superintendent of public instruction
has been raised 10y some In the cam
paign. II is said that we want man
who understands our necessities. Has
Mr.. Baker shown himself void of I'M
derstanding ia this respect Does not
his record since he has been at the
head of this department show clearly
that he not only understands these
thipgs, but that he has assiduously
labored for the greatest good to all;
that he has accomplished much in the
right direction and that, too, in q
short time?
He has begun the good work of I'M
movement in our school system, and
it is but justice TO him TO give him a
chance to carry it on. That be will
carry it on, we have no reason TO
doubt.
He has already pointed out to the
people other improvements aud grand
er achievements which are possible
and practicable, and for which, should
the people give him the opp0rtunit
he will doubtless labor until they are
attained. Can Il practical teacher do
more? Oar superintendent should he
man that not only knows our neces-
stiles, but also one that has ability and
influence TO obtain them for us. He
should be man unselfish in design,
wise in counsel, skilfull in execution;
one whose opinions will be respected
and whose arguments will have
weight when he stands before our leg
islative body in the interest of our pub
| lie schools because he stands upon q
disinterested platform. The practical
teacher would be supposed to
represent only one class OF our people;
whereas, Mr.. Baker has no more inter.
est in the teacher than in the patron
and pupil. That he has shown him
self friend to the former as well as
| the latter, surely no teacher of Texas
can he ungrateful enough to deny, and
did not the interest of all demand that
Mr.. Baker should continue i'm office, II
would be ingratitude for the teach
ers not to sup port him,
Did we need master of methods it
the art of teaching, or a compiler o
text books, then practical teachel
would meet the requirements. Suce
work is not within the province of {
state upefin,cndent. II is his bust
ness to administer the school law, tC
counsel officers to determine appeals
to instruct subordinates, to recommend
measures to our Legislature and sundr,
duties that do not require practica
teachers skill, but "A skill of a differ
ent sort which practical teachers art
not presumed TO possess. Then lie
Mr.. Baker be supported for state srl
peIintendent and let our wise, grea
and good practical teachers contipu
their useful labor in that field, tn
field of practical teaching in whicl
Mr.. Baker cannot, perhaps, successful
~ labor, and let him continue to occu
Ply that position which he has thus ia
done with credit to himself and prof
to the state; u position which praC
teal teacher cannot s. efficiently fill

IT Is not likely that the intelligent
people Of Houston approve the tone Of
one OF their papers in Its illusions to
Fort Worth as place Of secondary
Importance. The facts when exam
ined show that Fort Worth stands
pretty well alongside Of the city on the
bayou. In 1850 Houston had popu-
latIon Of IL, 5l3, OF whom only lO,02G
were white. while Fort Worth, with
6,6G3 population, had . 500 whites. To
day Houston has II population Of d, :
900 aud Fort Worth 220OO. If the
whites and negroes In the two cities
have both increased In the same ratio
Houston now has 5000 whites aud
Fort Worth 1900. The white pe0pl,
of town make up the business ele
ment of stability and enterprise.

Randall,s Candidacy.

No man In the Democratic party
represents 40 well rs Mr.. Randall the
Republican idea of protection. He it
was who made the bitter fight In con-
gress against a Democratic measure for
a reduction OF the tariff tax. and he.
with the assistance OF forty Democrats.
chiefly from the Republican states OF
Pennsylvania and Ohio, played into
the hands of the Republican party and
gave that party the votes necessary 10
defeat the Morrison tariff bill. More
than any one single man he organized
and compacted the opposition to a re-.
duction OF the tariff. and to him Is due
the failure of the Democratic party 10
make good Its pledges Of tariff reform.
HIS chief Importance In the present
congress was rs n confederate of Re
publicans in the defeat of Democratic
legislation. When the Democrats In
congress, In pursuance of pledges
made TO the people, proposed bill; 10
cut down the tariff 20 per cent, Mr..
Randall arrayed himself within Repub.
'ican lines andopposed the policy Of his
party. For this service 10 the Repub.
licans, II Is proposed by Democrats to
make him the Democratic candidate
for president, His support In the con.
vention will not be trifllng, tlouch n
cannot DO that there are enough dele.
gates 80 deluded by the talk abou, his
strength In New York and the East

THE defGlcation Of Treasurer Lieb
Of Washington county attracts much
attention throughout the state. To
The credit of county officials in Texas
IL may he said that such occurrences
are very rare. Occasionally we hear
Of an instance Of the kind, but as an
almost universal rule the people seem
to he fortunate In selecting the officials
who are to handle public funds. In
all ca,es the county and state are pro-
tectcd from lcss by the bonds of these
officials, but II is annoying and Eumil-
iating to community 10 have such
thing, happen. In the case OF Treas
urer Lieb, who preserves a marked
degree Of reticence himself, no one
seems to know what has become of the

cations from other states. Itrecalls the
campaign Of 1879, when the Greeley

any further. for the Greeley hat re-
calls too, the memory offs most disas-

Butler and Blaine in 1875,

The possibility of the nomination
of Butler by the Democrats, bringing
him into opposition to Blsine, will re-
viye The n! emory Of an episode that Is
not calculated 10 assure solid South
to the Democracy. When the force
bill was up in congress in 1875, Blaine
was speaker and Butler Republican
member from Massachusetts. III he
was not the author, Butler was the
most powerful and sleepless supporter
Of that bill, giving civil rights 10 the
negroes Of The South and forcing white
people, under the dnress Of heavy pen.
alties assessed by federal judges, to ac-
knowledge the social equality of the
negro, and giving him place In their
schools, their churches, their hotels
and all public places OF entertainment
and amusement. Butler exhausted
every resource Of parliamentary inge-
nuity 10 get this bill throug h against
the tilibustering Democrats. Blaine,
as speaker favored the Democrats
Ia his decisions, and in several
instances won their admiration by
opposing the attempts of the Republic
can majority to override them. The
record in this case will make savory
campaign reading for Democrats when
they are asked to support Butler
against Blaine.

big, black-etteTed label Of Demo

its editorial page a year ago, when it
forswore lndependentism, washed its
hands of Wash Jones and came in
meek and lowly spirit to the Demo-
cratic camp, asking to he received into
the Democratic faith. 1t has been said,
and truly, that there is no convert so
Jealous H. the new convert, and the
Post had not worn its Democratic
brand "a week before IL began to attract

Of political policy. Then it fell in love

grees it came about that the Post soor
claimed to be the only simon.pur,
