SCHOOLS.

The increase IN the enrolment of white
pupils over the corresponding first week
of last year is forty-one, while the colored
schools were not opened until the third
week of the session. The enrolment of
colored pupils in all the schools is 219,
which is IA per cent of the colored
scholastic population, While the increase
of the enrolment of the white scholastic
population is forty-one more than that of
the last session, yet there is only so per
cent yet enrolled. With all the excellent
facilities in nearly all the wards, to accom-
modate the school children, If the enroll.
ment should be increased 20 per cent the
white pupils could not be well accom-
modated.
The city schools have opened in better
condition than ever. The grading and
classification of the pupils has been
accomplished with less friction and with
most general satisfaction to all parties
concerned. There is every assurance that
the session will last this time ten scholastic
months.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE
Another Vigorous Denial of the
Committee of Five.

LLANo, Tex, September II, 1888.
To the Editor If the Statesman:
see in the WEEKLY STATESMAN of Sep
TENDER - an article from Jour Dallas cor
respondent, that purports to be report
from committee of five, appointed by
the trustees of the Alliance exchange to
Investigate the management of said ex-
change. do not know how such things
find their way into the public print, when
50 much to the contrary has been pub
lished of the proceedings of the State Al
lance in August. Being delegate to
that body l feel it my duty to give you
the facts in the case, believing that you
are willing to correct errors and give
'justice TO whom Justice is due"
On August p there was appointed by
the State Alliance a committee, composed
of one delegate from each congressional
district, to inquire into and report to the
body the exact condition of the exchange
and the business management of c. w.
Macune. This committee and the five
from the trustees worked together IN the
matter and elected DIR. j. D. Field, of
Travis county, chairman, and Fred.
Kaehler, of Galveston, secretary.
The committee had every facility for a
thorough investigation, being aided by
every officer and employe Of the exchange.
They had free access to all books, papers,

There Is No Choice.

In the matter of wagons for farmers and
others there can be no choice. You go
right away and buy Milburn and be done
with it. 1t is the best wagon made, and
will last almost lifetime. There is moth
ing strange about this. Skilled work
men and the best material are bound to
make the best wagon. Did you ever hear
a complaint about Mil5urn? No. The
company is at the head in this country,
and if fidelity to their thousands upon
thousands of customers and honorable
dealing count for anything, they will re-
main at the head. If you want wagon,
go down and see Dick Cunningham.
You'll find him selling wagons and play
ing on fireman's trumpet.

The Red Cross Society.

The central authorities of the American
Red Cross society have repeated the
appeal to the public for contributions to
the suffering people of Jacksonville. The
new cases of fever there amount to about
fifty per day, rapidly increasing the draft
upon the resources for the suocor and
support of the unfortunate population of
the stricken city and lessenIng to a
corresponding degree the ability of that
population to help itself.
The necessities of the sufferers and the
merits of the cause which seeks to relieve
them must commend themselves in every
charitable person. What have the people
of Austin done about sending money to
the stricken cityY

correspondence and everything else
pertaining 10 the business, and
gave every department a thorough
overhaulihg, turning over every chip in
| search of the bug that it was thought the
business manager had hid. All charges were
heard and every complaint Investigated,
and about u O'Clock on Saturday night
after nearly five days of hard work, the
committee made their report. That said
report was satisfactory, is evidenced by
the following resolution, clipped from the
proceedings of the State Alliance:
After all the complaints and suspicious
against the exchange had been investi-
gated by a committee of eleven, appointed
by the State Alliance, after that committee
had let the bright light of truth shine
into every nook and corner, and after
they had probed with diligence every
shadow and the neither side of every chip,
and faithfully reported to that body the
result of their discoveries and conclu. iors,
their report was adopted; and then, just
before the close of the meeting, the fol-
lowing action was taken
Resolved, That the members of the
Farmers State Alliance of Texas, in this
closing hour of the State Alliance, after
careful examination of the accounts of
our business manager for the past year,
do now reaffirm our mistaken confidence
in the untarnished and unsullied honor
and integrity of DR.. G. W. Macune. To
the world we would say, he may have
made mistakes, but to that same world we
would also say that the faint of fraud has
not been found near him.

And the new board of directors, with
your own Doctor Field as president, have
retained @. W. Macune as business man

in the supposed report of five is retained

to be self-sustaining and valuable aid
in the business. Respectfully,
