holds that the Blair bill is unconstitu-
tional in its nature, pernicious on its
tendencies, because it will be step to-
ward centralized, "paternal" Federal
government, and an invasion of the
principle of States rights. He is an
ardent friend of general public educa-
ton, but not in the shape proposed
by the Blair bill. The address was
listened TO with great interest by the
teachers, ana it il evident that Senator
Coke made many converts to his side
OF the question. The association
closed its session tonight. Austin

next meeting, on the last Tuesday in

The Wheat Crop.

Now and then tho reporter in his
rounds meets up with a chronic grum-
bier who declares in carping tono
that the wheat crop Is ruined. He in
sists that there is no hope for it; that
the continuous rains have caused it to
resprOut in the shock, and that
the grain Is hleGched. Those
rains have, for the most,
been confined TO Dallas County,
and moro strictly speaking, TO q
small radius around Dallss city. The
farmers, in shocking their wheat, have
capped tho shocks in such a manner
that but very little water, no matter
how hard the rainfall, over reaches
the grain. The fact is Texas has more
wheat and better wheat than any State
in tho Union. Mr.. Alexander Cookrell,
who is running a thresher west of the
river, stated to a reporter yesterday
that he had threshed the crop Of al
least 80 farmers and that there was
not as many rs 80 bushels of spoiled
grain in all that he had threBhed. He
says so far the crop averages over q
bushels to the acre.
