on THE RAMPAGE.

The bowling of the Examiner about
the recent alleged trick of the Swain
men in reporting the withdrawal of Ross.
reminds one of the ludicrous antics of
FalstafT in his devotion. or pretended de-
yotion to Prince Hal. We apprehend the
Swain men are not much scared by the
ridiculous "cavorting" and charging
around the political arena of the Waco
champion of General Ross. Perhaps no
body is so much deceived as Colonel Bar
tow himself, if he supposes the people
can't see through his position. The
truth is that while charging trickery on
the Swain men in sending forth
the recent dispatches from this city an
nouncing the rumor of an attempt at the
withdrawal of Ross, the Examiner inferen-
TALLY makes the admission that it was
taken in and entrapped. If it was a ruse de
guerre to draw the enemy's fire, then the
Examiner, which sets itself up as the sole
organ of General Ross, has been worse
yictimized even than Falstafr.
The Examiner intimates there was not

The folly of using the fire department
horses in doing cart work on the streets
may yet dawn upon the council. 1t is
Spigot saving. The fire engines are most
needed when the fire first breaks out, and
the time lost in bringing one of the horses
even distance of couple of blocks, and
unhitching him from the cart, might cost
more than the saving to the city by using
the department horses as cart animals
would amount to in ten years The peo-
pie support the fire department horses
for protection of their property from fire,
and do not care to risk the loss of their
investment for the few dollars saved by
using them as cart horses.

THE BURNETT SCHOOL CONTROVERSY

The controversy in Burnet on the sub
ject of Leeds History of the United
States seems to have been "a tempest in
tea pot" and quite an Unnecessary ex-
penditure of ink and types. If the history
is colored and untrue either on one side
or the other, the trustees ought not to
have compelled its study by the pupils of
the public schools, and should at once
have exercised their authority to discon-
tinue the book, without publishing an ill
tempered whereas to the resolution. Let
us by all means keep partizanship of any
kind out of the public schools, and pre-
vent them being used as an instrument
for or against any politician,
The moment the public schools are per-
mitted to be used ms political machinery
their usefulness is gone.
In the rivalry of publishing houses, it
has been difficult to select series of
school books best adapted to the graded
system of public schools. Eastern and
western publishing houses of school
books are as numerous as the locusts of
Egypt, and their canvassers offer such
terms as will almost turn the heads of
school trustees.
1t will become necessary to determine
very soon. what books are best suited to
the graded schools, and to adopt certain
series for the entire state.
Until this is done we may expect such
embarrassing issues to arise that will TO-
ment discord in the management of the
schools, and if we do not take care. the
whole system will degrade into political
machine. 1t has been question with
eminent educators whether or not the
small histories taught in schools are of
any benefit. Many have held that it was
useless to teach children the mere tops of
things" All, however, agree it is wrong
to teach a history that is not true, or col
ored by sectional prejudice.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-02-18

a'particle of truth in the Ross cOnsulta-
ton here in Austin. On the contrary, it
seems to have been stated by another
Waco gentleman who visited Austin on
the occasion referred to, that certain
prominent lawyers of this city promised
that Travis county should and would in
struct for Ross. This does look like the
consultation, at least. was not so much of
a myth after all. If General Ross expects
to reach the gubernatorial chair, he or his
friends should chloroform the Examiner
to keep it quiet.

SENSATIONAL LETTERS.

The Giobe-Democrat of last Sunday
nublishes number of letters purported
IN have been written by Mr.. Davis and
members of his cabinet, in reference to
the treaty between Gen. W. L. Sherman
and Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, while the
armistice was pending between them IN
North Carolina, in 1865. 1t asserts that
these letters we're captured at that time
but that they have never been given to
the public, as they we're not turned oyer
to the government, but that newspaper
syndicate, of which the Globe-Democrat
is member, has lately purchased vel
authenticated copies of them at high
price. 1t is too late to endeavor to i'm
nose such absurd sensational matter upon
public credulity; but if the Globe-Dem'
ocrat is DESTROYS of dealing still further
in such fictions, it can no doubt procure
''for a high price," many other well au
thenticated copies" of such letters. An
other syndicate can, no doubt be readily
formed to satisfy its demand for them
and even at reduced price. If you want
any more let us hear from you. We know
a party who has lot he would sell at re-
duced rate, wholesale.
