OBITUARY.
A Tribute to the Memory Of Judge
George Dye.

Judge George Dye, who has for the past
few years been residing in Laredo, Tex,
died suddenly last Saturday night, the goth
inst, at his ranch near that city.
Judge Dye was past three score years
and ten, and for the past year, had been
in very feeble health. He had been a
resident of Texas over forty years, going
through the trials and vicissitudes OF early
border life. Most of his time was spent
in Brownsville, of which city he was for a
number of years mayor prior to and
during the late war.
Immediately after the war he was sheriff
of the county, which Office he filled with
marked distinction, as at that time there
were many lawless characters along the
border of the Rio Grsnde. During tbs
Cortina trouble on the border he was
ever in the lead in suppressing lawless
ness, and on various occasions has risked
his life in defense of law and order. He
was man of noble impulses, generous
his charity knew no bounds-ever ready to
assist the poor and needy. Many poor
confederate soldier, especially members of
the First Texas cavalry, will remember
Judge Dyes charities aud hospitality dar-
ing their sojourn in Brownsville. His doors
were ever open to them. They were al
ways welcome.
He was true Christian, having been
strict member of the Methodist church
ever since his youth, He was at one time
citizen of Austin, where he made many
friends who will regret to hear of his de-
mise.
He leaves a devoted wife and two
daughters, one the wife of our fellow
townsman, F. NJ. Rundel, and Mrs. Vir-
ginia Hipp, of Laredo, Tex, and nine
grandchildren to mourn his loss.
"Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds breath.
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o, Death "

duced Major Stewart, of Texas, who
spoke feeliagly of the kindly reception he
had received since arriving in Boston. He
spoke of the great difficulty the home
Iabored under from insufficient means,
and appealed for aid 10 enable the di-
rectors of his home to build brick or
stone building to contain 100 ex- soldiers.
This home is TO be national, and not of a
state character, as is the R. E. Lee home
al Richmond, Va.
Mai. j. A. Maxwell, late of the First
Georgia, C. V, cited the fact that the
soldiers of the southern army left their
homes, wives, mothers and daughters in
the care of the negroes, went to war, and
found that the slaves were trde to their
trust. be it SAID to their honor. The
slaves deserved a monument from the
country for their devotion.
Colonel Charles E. Hapgood spoke
favorably of the proposition to aid the
ex-confederates in their necessities. Major
John Z. Killian, of Post 26, thought that
an appeal could be made fearlsssly to the
public and the G. A. R with good results,
Comrade Linehsn thought that the posts
of Suffolk county and immediate vicinity
would all lend their moral support to the
project.
The matter of an appeal to the public
was left with the committee of Post 10,
they to issue circular to the citizens OF
this state and the Grand Army posts.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-11-01

other means of raising funds had been
adopted than those mentioned; if, for in
stance, aid had been solicited in the larger
southern cities! The reply of Major
Stewart was in the negative. They had
not gone into other southern states or
cities for the reason that tine project, while
national in character, was not less south
err; that Texas was good way off, and
that the feeling was Observation-Disclosures
rightly or wrongly he did not know-at
home tina: possibly there might be some
jealousy to interfere. They were, in
short, adverse to risking the experiment
in that section.
Speeches favorable to aiding the prof act
were made by several prominent Grand
Army men, after which the committee of
Post 10, which called the meeting, were
instructed to issue such a circular as they
deemed most suitable, calling upon the
Grand Army posts and the public for sub
scrip.ions.

Flowers from Houston

It is a remarkable fact that for nearly
every society entertainment given in this
city Houston furnishes the floral decora-
tions. These are from the conservatory
of Mr.. M. V. Wright, who has, by the
great variety and beauty of his horti-
cultural productions and the rare taste
and judgment in the selection and ar
rangement of floral baskets, corssge
bouquets and bontonieres, made reputa-
ton among the people here that is worthy
of envy, not alone for the deserved reputa-
ton, but for the revenue received by him
in his business. That a Houston florist
should be furnishing the Capital city of
Texas, nearly POO miles away, with flowers
is a credit not only to him but to the en-
tire Bayou city.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION
A Vigorous Letter From Gov
ernor Ross on the Subject.
Bad Political Economy to Suffer
Children to Grow Up In
Ignorance.

Governor Ross has written the follow
ing vigorous letter 20 friend, and it
fully explains itself:
My Dear Friend-After thanking you
for your courtesy and kindness it i only
necessary for me to say that I was one
of a speci.l committee of seven who
drafted the present article on education
in the constitution of 1875, which passed
the constitutional convention without
alteration and which laid the very founda-
ton of our present free-school system,
and the records of the Seventeenth legis
lsture show that in every instance edvo-
Gated measures to increase its efficiency.
The system has not more devoted friend
in this state. The present suTerintend-
ent of public education, Hon. o. Il.
Cooper, and myself are in perfect accord
on the subject, and have been so from
the start. The only purpose and
aim of the message from
which the extract was disconnected
was to remedy, or to call attention of the
Legislature to every branch of the subject,
with the hope that they would remedy the
evils attending the present financial
features of the system.
You should read the message in connec-
ton with Mr.. Cooper's report. You will
see that urged the legislature to promptly
pay our teachers, and an appropriation of
about $525,000 was made for that purpose
from the surplus. the services of these
people in this great field of labor cannot
be too highly estimated, for have always
held that it was the duty of the people to
provide ample facilities for the education
of every child In the state. Their minds
aad hearts are part of the productive
capital of greater Importance than its
commerce, or whatever else tends to pro-
mote its grandeur and greatness.
No state can be truly or permanently
great, in the highest or best sense of the
word, that does not provide for tae home
education of its youth. There are hun
dreds of poor children in our midst en-
dowed with genius and thirsting for
knowledge, who must be educated this way
or remain in ignorance, aud as the vine
that does not find a solid wall to cling
upon will creep upon the ground and
siezs upon rubbish with its tendri 8.
it would be bad political economy in
our people to suffer any of the children to
grow up in ignorance. Truly yours,
L. S. RoEs.

United.

The marriage of Miss Mary H. Evans,
daughter of Mrs. Col. S. H. Darden, of
this city, to Judge VIM. j. Phillips, of
Wharton, Tex, took place last night at
Colonel Darden's residence, in the pres
ence of number of special friends of the
contracting parties, Rev. I. B. Lee, of the
Episcopal church, officiating. Miss Evans
is one of the most graceful and charming
young ladies of Austin, where she is gen
orally recognized as great favorite in q
wide circle of admirers. Judge Phillips
is a well known and prominent citizen of
Texas, the adopted son of ex-Gov. A. G.
Horton. He was formerly county Judge
of Wharton county for several years, was
United Sta 'es marshal in the Galveston
district, and is at present engaged in
planting in Wharton county. The couple
left last night for their future home al
Wharton.

A Flskville Lady's Experience
With Black, Muddy Roads.

To the Editor Of the Statesman:
Shall Igive little personal experience
in matters pertaining to our present i'm
passible roads? Know, then, that we
country people appreciate the drama az
much perhaps az our more fortunate city
friends, and being DESTROYS of seeing the
honored Keene in King Richard, we
brought out the strongest horse we could
muster, large Norman, put all the nee
essary curtains, storm aprons, etc, to the
buggy and, bidding defiance to the threat
euing clouds, started on our way rejoicing
to travel a distance of six miles, which
distance had often been Travelled in forty
five minutes. Well, mile from Fiskville
we struck black mud, and oh, horrors!
what road. Mud up to the hubs, the
horse sinking half way to his knees al
every step, and that with a slight cessa
ton on striking the choice (:) little turn
pike mace of boulders as large as your
hsad, to jolt over by way of rarity. That
was the character of our road till we
reached the Lunatic asylum. This was
made by daylight, or most of it, as We
knew the character of the road too well
not TO give ourselves an abundance of
time to get there in. Now imagine the
horrors of the return trip through the
dark, and facing the norther. Ia just
three hours from the time we left the city
did we reach our home.
The poor horse having to stop part of
the way every few steps to recover breath
and strength, the wheels one solid cake of
mud, foot thick, weighing hundreds of
pounds, and we shivering wi h every cold
blast that wrapped its icy mantle around
us. Fortunately, as hope was almost ex-
piring that we would ever he able to reach
home, we struggled out TO the confines of
the black mud, and at 2 o'clock reached
the sheltering arms of our own dear home,
wiser and perhaps sadder than when we
left it. Shall leave out that in pity for
the poor, painting horse, struggling so
bravely for us, that reached out repeat
eddy, and, with my hand, pushed and pulled
the cold, wet mud from the wheels, as l
could reach an unusually large heap of it {?
Rest assured we heartily join in the echo of
"iot US have turnpikes, and have them
soon.

The Confederate Home.

The Boston journal, speaking of Major
Joe Stewards mission to that city in be.
half of the Confederate home, says:
"In response to call issued by con-
mittee of John A. Andrew Post 10, G.. A.
R., appointed at the last regular meeting
on Friday last, 8 number of Grand Army
men and ex-Confederate soldiers residing
in the city, met at the headquarters of the
above post last evening. The object, as
stated in circular, was for the purpose
of consulting upon means and measures
for the promotion and maintenance of a
national soldiers home for disabled con-
federate soldiers at Austin, Tex Major
