Texas Public Schools.

No State in the Union surpasses
Texas in the m%unificence with which
she has endowed her public schools.
The people are fully alive to the i'm
portance of education, and the school
buildings in the large cities are fully
equal to any in the North. The
State Superintendent says that the
constantly increasing demand for
good teachers affords excellent op
portunities for professionals to 10
cate in Texas. The salaries of City
and Town Superintendent range
from $1,000, to $4,000 per annum
the salaries of teachers from a mini
mum Of $40 to a maximum of 500
per month. The State Normal In
s%titutes are insufficient to supply the
extraordinary demand for good
teachers at present prevailing in the
State; and such teachers as favor
liberal salaries and, generous treat
ment will be assured a position
The communities are rapidly in
creasing, and the liberal State sup
port is an ~inducement to the imme-
date organization of a school in
each community, hence she demand
for teachers is constantly increasing
and it is an indisputable fact that
the efficiency of the new system will
not be complete until thorough,
practical and efficient teachers are
the great majority, instead of in the
minority as at present.

NETCHER & SHARPE'S BANK.
The Condition OF the Assets and the Probable
Dividend that Will Be Realized.

Hon. VIM. Wallace, receiver of Fletcher e
Sharpe's Bank will not file report of his trust
until the first week in the new term, after the
summer vacation. He reports that the affairs
of the bank are in better condition than at one
time was expected BY an order of the
court of October, 1884, an offer was made
TO the creditors of the bank to take
real estate of the assessed value of
40 per cent of their claims. In this way $50, 600
worth Of real estate was conveyed. One cash
dividend of 5 per cent has also been declared
and paid. The receiver has been pushing the
sales of real estate and the court has authorized
a commission to be paid to the agents who can
obtain purchasers The means of obtaining
available assets, which Mr.. Wallace has
thus far followed, is by the sales of real estate
and the canceling of notes by collection. A
question pending is the rights of the individual
creditors of Ingram and Albert Fletcher. These
creditors claim the right to share with the banks
creditors, but the receiver does not agree with
them and the courts will have to de-
eide the question. This class of claims
amounts to 100000, and effects the
assets to considerable extent. AS
yet there has been no sale of the bank block, no
offer being made which the receiver thought
advisable to accept. The rent of the block, how
ever, is paying expenses taxes and interest.
The residences of Ingram Fletcher and Mr..
Sharp have been rented, and are no incumbrance
to the trust Mr.. Wallace is very hopeful, and
thinks that the creditors will receive dividend
Of 80 or 10 per cent.

PETERS PENCE.
The Collection that Will Be Taken Up in the
Catholic Churches To-Day.


The collection of Peters pence will be tass.en
mp in all the Catholic churches of this diocese
to-day, the Sunday of the Octave of Saints Peter
and Paul Peters pence, as at first instituted,
was An annual tribute of one penny paid to the
Pope on the festival of st. Peter, June %. In
England, where every person possessed of thirty
pennies worth of property of any kind was con-
sidered liable to this tribute, it was continued
from Saxon times to the reign of Henry VIII.
The tribute was then, as now, collected by the
bishops The term is also applied TO any gen
eral voluntary collection made for the Pope,
such as that in 1860, when the amount received
at Rome from this collection exceeded S. 600, 900.
Since the annexation OF the Papal States to the
Kingdom of Italy these offerings form the only
revenue of the Papal court.
Archbishop Elder, of Cincinnati, the head of
this province, in his official address designating
this collection, also asks that the same occasion
be observed with a requiem mass for Archbishop
Purcell, the Fourth of July being the anniyer-
sary of his death. The Archbishop hopes the
collection this year will be larger than ever be-
fore and says: "Our Holy Father has had reve-
nues up to the end of last year by the 'Propa-
ganda, which was made in behalf of the church,
thereby being enabled to defray large proper
tion of the expenses. Since that time the Ital
ian government has taken into its own posses
sion the property from which these revenues
have been derived; has sold it below it's value;
took part OF the proceeds thereof under the
assumed charge of expenses and taxes for its
own use, and invested the balance in government
bonds, which bear only small interest So our
Holy Father has but few means to defray
expenses, except the voluntary contributions
rendered him by his true believers
He then adds: "Besdes this, should we, as
citizens of great, free country, by these large
contributions manifest our despise for an act of
despotism, through which such sacriege has
been committed. We have by words declared
our despse for this sacrilege, and now by acts
we ought to prove our sincerity, contributed to
the assistance of the Holy Father, the victim of
such an injustice. 1 therefore pray of you, my
beloved children, to make this matter of con-
Bcience. and to largely and willingly contribute,
as a small return for the benefactions which we
sDoy nnrGugn fo M sne Gy r. hcS anu
and for the mental treasures which we enjoy
through the holy church."

DEFIANT VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
Notwithstanding the Orders of the Mayor and
Police, the Saloon-Keepers Keep Open.

When Sim Coy, Tom Kearney John Leopard,
John Morgan and Patrick Manley, dealers in
fluid emotional insanity waited upon Governor
Gray on Friday to ask him to interfere with the
administration of the Law and allow them a 60
as you please Fourth, that cautions statesman
found himself in great hurry to make a
train in order to spend the Nations
birthday elsewhere He hastily referred
the committee to John J. Cooper State Treas
urer, and dealer in fresh pork, whom he empow-
cred to treat with the enemy and induce Police
Commissioner Murphy ''to modify his order" as
it was euphemistically stated in yesterday morn
ings papers. When Mr.. Murphy and Mr.
Cooper separated, the latter gentleman evil
IDENTIFY informed the waiting Ganymedes that it
was all right, and they could "cut her loose;'
but the delegation was not quite satisfied, hardly
believing it possible that Mr.. Murphy could be
induced to abandon his record so easily.
A delegation of saloon-keepers headed by Coy
attended police roll-call in the evening, and then
found that the order had not been countermand-
ed, and that there was to be, after ALL a "puri-
tanica" and ''fanaticar' Fourth. Coy denounced
Mr.. Murphy as falsifer, and Superintendent
Lang as chump, and his m0uth fired abuse and
After roll-call Mr. Murphy. when called upon
by the chief, said that while he desired the law
enforced he did not want it done in spying
manner.
This news went out among the dealers in town
paint, and was given the most liberal interpreta-
ton. The order, as exemplfed yesterday, was
beautifully modified" All the saloons were
wide open, and the violation of the law was made
as fragrant and offensive as possible From all
that can be learned Mr.. Murphy issued his orig
inal order without any consultation with his col
leagues on the board, and his modification" of
the order was also made without consultation
with the other members.
The law, the police, the chief and the commits
sioners are all under the powerful Coy, who
crowns the pedestal while they wriggle under
his feet. No little indignation at this
state of things was expressed among
good citizens everywhere yesterday not un
mixed with poignant regret that Mr. Murphy
should have made so great mistake. Mr.. Coy
is on top. and he is not likely to prove unduly
magnanimous in his hour of triumph.

A POJiceman's Lively TussIe.

Last night, Mrs. Butch, living on Greer street,
near New Jersey, complained to Patrolman
Isaacs that her son George had beaten her and
threatened to take her life. Isaacs entered the
house TO look into the matter and, if necessary,
to make the arrest of George Butch, whom he
found to be at home and in fighting humor. No
sooner had Isaacs attempted the arrest than
Butch assaulted him. knocking him down.
Isaacs drew his mace then and fought Butch to
the point of submission, when few of the
neghbors came in and took side with Butch and
altogether the fight was warm for short time,
Isaacs being p,tted against odds. The mace of
the officer, however, was effective at last, and
the arrest of Butch was made. Isaacs was con-
siderably bruised about the head and ribs, while
Butch has broken nose and is otherwise badly
beaten. In the affray the mace of Isaacs was
broken off at the handle and the revolver which
he drew while engaged in the tussle was
snatched away and lost. Butch is now at the
police station awaiting trial.

Senator Conger Tells What Nominations
Will BE Resisted Next Winter.
Interview in Detroit,

interview in Detroit.
Yea may put it down as pretty certain that
the Republican senators will concede to the
President the absolute right to name men of his
own choosing for any of two kinds of positions.
The first is those where the terms of office have
expired. In regard to them there will be no con-
troversy whatever. The second is those posi-
tions which are in any way connected with the
policy OF the administration. This is for pre-
csely the same reason that the President should
and does have the privilege of naming his own
Cabinet. There is hardly case on record
where the Senate has in any way interfered with
such an appointment. Any others that are in
any way identified with the policy of the ad
ministration will be conceded to the President
without question.
But" continued Mr.. Conger. ''the Senate has
an undoubted constitutional right not only not
to consent to the appointment of government
officials, but to advise in their selection. In
pursuance OF this right in the cases of appoint
ments to purely business Offices, where removals
have been make during recess, they will make
careful inquiries into the causes of such re-
movals. 1t is due to mans friends and to him
self that such thing should be done. When a
man has left his private business and has ac
cepted an appointment under the government
for certain term or for an indefinite period he
has right to expect to remain in possession of
the Office If he attends strictly to its affairs at
least as long as Congress has repeatedly ex
pressed its opinion what term of Office should
be-that is, four years."
