The committee also considered the
proposed investigation of the death OF

ANOTHER FUTILE ATTEMPT.
AT 3o'clock this afternoon a third un-
successful attempt was made by the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne Il Chicago road
officials to move freight trains block
aded here by reason of the brake
mems strike. Superintendent Law,
POlhemus, attempted to take an
engine from the round-house to
attach TO freight train, which they
wished to send east. The
strikers allowed them to take
the engine and run IL outside
the round house. One of the several
strikers upon the engine laid hold of the
whistle and blew vigorously. This
signal for aid was responded to quickly
by other strikers scattered around
the yards, guarding the switches
etc. They compelled the engineer, who
had hold of the throttle, TO give place to
a striker, while the others assisted the

In the Merchants Exchange meeting
at Dallas last Saturday Mr.. Trezevant
arrained the Dallas papers for their in
discriminate warfare against every
city in the state. "They pitch into
Fort Worth, into Galveston into every
thing and anybody that is calculated to
answer the impact with the recoil,"
several other speakers followed in the
same strain. The meeting adopted a
resolution in favor of Galveston as A
deep water port. While there We're
some grains of reason in the remarks Of
tie speakers, they generally showed a
total ignorance of the nature OF the
work or the possibility of obtaining
deep water. The cost of the undertake
ing was generously ignored and it was
taken for granted that it would be the
easiest thing in the world to deepen the
harbor. The meeting illustrated how
readily men are carried away by the
impulse of the moment, by fiery
speech or glib talker. The public
press whose duty tits to guard the in.
terest of the state and of their cities are
better criterions of what is the best pol

Is it Too Costly an institution

DALLAS, Jan. TO- Editor HERALD. +
The News in its issue of January 2, asks
this very pertinent question, a question
that the incoming legislature will GER
tainly try to answer. The News as
serts truly that it is of as great impor-
tance to the people that the university
should be managed on economical prin-
ciples, as if it were supported by direct
taxation. 1t is the peoples institution,
established by and for the people, and
supported by their money. Is IL too
costly an Institution when the state
pays the tuition of young men who are
studying law Is 1t the duty OF the
state to pay S25 per month to make law
yers?
ais it too costly an institution" for the
state to pay $40 per month tor tuition OF
its students?
"lsn't it too costly an institution"
when professors are paid salaries greater
than the salaries of the heads of depart
ments in the state government,and some
greater than the salaries of our supreme
Judges, and even equal to the salary of
our governor? "Is 1t too costly an in
stitution" when such salaries are paid
for professors, whose average daily
work does not exceed two hours? These
are questions raised by the News, and
the people would ask the legislature to
answer them.
The News intimates that there are
clog house" teachers in Texas who are
jealous of the salaries paid in the Uni
versity, and who would be glad to re-
ceiye one-half the amount paid in this
"costly institution" The News has in
stituted the comparison by this express
sion in order to disparage Texas teach
ers and their positions. If 1t would be
of any Importance to the News, we
make the assertion that there are teach
ers in Texas who are able to manage
successfully any department in the
University. Let the comparison be
made wherever the News desires It,
Large salaries do not make great pro-

Cisco's this morning Mi Foote was de-
livering the securities to customers who
had them on deposit with thu firm.
Up to n late hour this afternoon there
were no failures growing out of the

Tor Cisco's assignment now is that tho
daughters of the late John G. Cisco, CO.
heirs with the Cisco of the present firm,
insist on having the estate liquidated
and Withdrawing their funds from the
concern, and in view of the unsettled
state of affairs it was deemed best to
make an assignment. The firm had
