Cleveland has dolled out a bakers dozen.
His secretaries have cut of ten times as

lie since the days Of Adams. The rank

The situation for Democrats is choice

offices as they become vacant by natural
and due course Of time and circum-

The Brazoria Independent utters the
following vague advice 1.-The San An
tonic people should not, in the extreme
eXuberance of their desire for n railroad
to n seaport forget that it is safer to
build u long line to a certainty than to
construct short line to u barren ideal
lty. The longest way round is the short
est way home-sometimes.n And then
in another article says: "San Antonio
has no cause to fear competition from
Galveston or Houston, or any other city
in Texas. Kansas City is no further
from St. LOUIS than San Antonio is from
Galveston, and yet neither city fears the
other. Houston and Galveston, only 80
miles apart, seem to dwell side by side
in perfect unity. In fact about the only
Jealousy noticeable is that of Galveston
for Nelasco. San Antonio would, with
the proper outlet to the seaboard, which
she should have by all means, be an en-
trepot for the whole Mexican country.
which Galveston or Houston could never
expect to attain, let them build as many
lines as they may. This insane jeal-
ousy of the different ports has kept the
State back at least 10 years, and they
seem to be learning little by experience.

The Globe-Democrat in discussing the
proposition Of a Boston lady to have
school boards employ dentist says:
zone of the most dangerous tendencies
OF our public schools is that toward
treating the pupils not as individuals,
but as separate and Insignificant parts
Of one great machine, 1t il disgrace
to our civilization when, as has lately
been done in one Of our largest cities, a
school il paraded as model because the
playing children had been brought to
such complete and automatic discipline
that at the tap Of n bell they would re-
main fixed in the attitude of the mo-
ment, with arms raised, mouths opened,
and even standing on their heads. Such
progress as this is only retrogression; It
drives out youthful exuberance of spirit
and puts nothing in its place; it is part
and parcel Of the ignorant pride Of pro-
fession which gauges the physical exer-
else Of the schoOl-room by the show
made on exhibition day, There is need
apparently of impressing in some way
upon teachers the sense of the individu-
ality of their pupils-the physical pecu-
liarities as well as mental Characters
tics; and, as well, of the hygienic laws
that should govern the sohool-room.
Something Of this sort is, indeed, being
done here and there, and a notable ex-
pertinent is now being made in an East
ern city, where the teachers are gath
cred together to listen to lectures by ply
scians upon the indications of fever, the
treatment of colds, the methods Of VEN
tilation and kindred topics; and where
they are empowered to send children
home TO be cleaned or to be reclad If
their feet are wet. Only good can come
from instruction of this sort, and the ex-
ample might well be widely copied"
