Carl Schurz lectured here last night
to delighted audience, his theme be-
ing the Natural problem Education.u
His remarks were entirely confined to
the subject itself, and no allusion of sec
tlonal character escaped his lips. The
trlpartlte division of his discourse was
tlrst-As to the absolute negation of
attempt to teach anything in primary
education beyond the mere use of the
nina IN subsequent elf-educati0n.
Second-The power of woman over
the education of the rising generation;
her queenly influence aud her absolute
dominion over the moral culture and
intellectual direction of the chill
dred. His ideas on this question
were by no means "woman's rights" in
their nature, but he assigned to woman
2 sphere far more elevated than any
artlhclal appliances of statutory
nature could give her.
Third-The enjoyment of the iestheti-
cal WAS descanted on as the result of
educational discipline,and the necessity
insisted on OF some popular substitute
Tor lntamperan' in the way OF intel
iectual pastime, from which lightdrink-
ing might not be excluded but drunken
ness altogether expelled. His diction
was perfect, manner aud address ad.
mirable,and his every utlerance listened
70 with Wrapt attention. Gen. Schurz is
delighted with Texas, and has great OK
pectations with reference to her future.

AUSTIN, Feb. l4.-[Editor HERALD. I
Senator Houston's insurance bill
has been making music through
out the state, judging from the
petitions which are now being signed
and forwarded to the Legislature from
the various cities and towns, and the
expressed opinion of business men on
the one side and the insurance men on
the other. As a rule, prominent bust
ness men are opposed TO insurance leg
lsaIion interfering with the right of
property holders and insurance Compa-
MES mutually to contract with each
other. Judging from the names APP
pended to the petitions coming in, the
desire is almost unanimous that the
protection afforded by insurance poll
cics has been ample heretofore, and the
property holders at large seem to prefer
acting on the principle to "let well
enough alone"
There is very strong feeling not
only against the Houston insurance
bill, hut against the valued policy law,
which manifestiy holds out an induce
ment for successful arBon. In
suranco men theselyes are not quite
so united in their views. While all
OF them believe that the valued policy
law is an outrage, and the Houston in
surance bill twice as bad, some few
agents that have metare in favor of the
prompt passage of the Houston bill. be-
Loving that it win bring to sudden
termination any and all business by in
surance companies in the state of Texas,
and result in gen eral upheaval of the
business interests, and a demand by the
property holders of the state that in
surance legislation be wiped from the
statutes and companies allowed 10
proceed with their business in Texas as
they are in ether states in the union.
This OF course is pretty radical view,
but some OF the Leading insurance men
seem to favor it. Hhey say it would be
pretty rough on the local agents and ON
some OF the general agents who de.
pend on insurance for livelihood, but,
as for the companies themselves, the
Texas business is very small part of
their entire income-say from q
10 8 per cent, and, as it has uniformly
proven a loss, the companies would, on
Tho whole, rather enjoy the fight, as it !
would be no hardship for them to quit |
Tho state, and any legislation which |
would drive them out would very sum
marily put an end to the political exist |
enoe OF the legislators who succeeded in
legislating these associations out OF the
state. On the whole, public opinion
seems to be very decidedly against leg
Islative tinkering with insurance COM
panles, as well as with some other cor
poratlons, whose influence has certainly
been beneficial to tho state, and who
have brought in a good deal more
money than is taken out. Insurance..
