The Experience OF Austin.

Tho expression of Austin on tho pub
lie school system is both interesting
and instructive. We well remember
the opposition it received years ago:
We remember how the Statesman,
then edited by John Cardwell, a
man of force, assailed it from day to
day, appealing to all the old preju-
dices on the subject, just rs is being
done here to day with reference to
the coming election on our school
house question. After all, however,
free schools prevailed, which should
be encouraging to us here and now.
Not few of our readers will re-
member the speeches made by lead
ing Austin gentlemen connected with
her educational interests on Teach
ers' Day at our Chatauqua last year.
The principal speakers were A. p
Woodbridge, SO long the efficient
manager of the public schools of that
city, Judge FILLMORE, formerly coun-
Judge of Travis county, and Judge
Clarke, regent of the State University.
Their addresses were decidedly in ia
vor Unpopular as well us higher edu-
cation. The FREE Press of Aug. 2,
made n brief and very imperfect re-
port which, believingi it will be read
with peculiar interest just now, we
copy below
Mr.. Woodbridge made the first
speech, or rather informal talk on
the direct subject of public school
matters in San Marcos, in the light
of tho experience of Austin on that
subject. In the beginning he said
all was chaos in regard to education
al matters in that city. The 'cOm-
munity system prevailed, and was in
all respects unsatisfactory. There
was widespread disbelief that the
people of the city would vote to take
charge Of the public schools or tax
themselves to erect buildings and
carry Thorn on, but the result dispelled
all doubt. The people were prompt
to give all needed aid just as fast and
as far as they became satisfied it was
needed So it would be in San Mar
cos. The success Of the Chautauqua
presupposes successful system Of
public schools as the requisite basis
People congregated on that hlll,look-
ing toward the city would inquire.

COSTLY OF these measuras so cogent'
ly advocated. Our only regret was
that our whole community could not
have been present on this most inter
osting occasion.
Most earnestly do We hope and
pray, that the prediction Of Mr.
Woodbridge as TO the action OF San
Marcos may be verified. We call up
on every friend Of public schools, OF
the good name, progress ind best in
forests OF our beautiful little city, to
wake up and work strenuously and
steadily to secure this most desir-
able result.

Among the measures which died
with the Fiftietn Congress was the
Oklahoma bill, which remained to
the end upon the Senate calendar.
Some of its provisions were, however,
incorporated into the Indian appro-
priation bill. No territorial govern
ment is established, but an area of
land embracing about 100000 acres
in the Indian Territory is thrown
open to settlement. The land for
fixture bill reached the stage of being
reported to the House by q confer
ence report, but was killed by fill
clustering.

When Crown Prince RudOlph's
body was being removed from
Meyerling it was discovered that the
copper coffin was too large to go into
the elegant hearse that had been
provided. The only other convey
ance at hand was the bearse in which
the bodies of town paupers are con
veyed to the Potter's Field. 1t was
well, for death is the great leveler.

Of my intelligence to the duty I 30 innocently
assumed.

THE DAY BEFORE.

There was no premonition of the Great
Blizzard of last year the day before 1t swept
over New York and lowered in this unaccus-
toned air until the chill of death and the
peril of enforced idleness got q great grip ON
the great city.
The anniversary of Blizzard Day " will
be tomorrow, and while the Weather
Prophet employed by a bounteously pater-
nal Government declares Tint the next two
or three days are likely to be " clear and
cool. " it is well to be prepared for something
else.
Gum coats and goloshes, for example, are
quite frequently :he proper equipment for
days meteorologically - clear and COOL"
But the Great Blizzard may not be dupli-
Gated for q hundred years.
