THE VAL VERDE SUIT.

And the second round was worse
than the first. Attorney General
Hogg lost another, and the second for
the week, important suit. The SUI
preme court reversed and rendered the
famous Val Verde case. This suit af-
fected the title to all lands patented
since the constitution of 1876, amount
ing in all to many millions of acres.
At the time this suit was brought
The STATESMAN called attention to the
great injury it would do the state by
impeaching her titles, and insisted it
was useless and most impolitic pro-
ceeding. All through the Union, Texas
has been by it advertised as state at
any time liable to cast discredlt
upon titles given even under her
great seal to purchasers in good faith.
And, though now such titles as were
impeached by this suit are by this
decision assured, as almost ninety
nine per cent of the bar of Texas
thought they would be, yet the'great
damage mentioned has been done,
and home seekers have been put
upon special notice to be very careful
in buying Texas real estate. Had the
supreme court decided differently from
what it did, the legislature, for the honor
of the state, would have been called
upon to stay the wrong, the palpable
injustice to small and other land
holders such construction of law
would have worked. As it is, the state
is to be congratulated upon the happy
issue of the trial of a cause that should
never have been brought into the
courts. Such fine spun interpreta-
ton of the constitution as that upon
which this suit was based, might do
very well for the exercise of a moot
court in the University, but it was
hardly of enough weight to warrant
the clouding of titles to millions OF
acres of lands desired for homes by a
splendid tide of immigration. The
quicker all doubts that have been
created in the premises are forgotten
and all fears dissolved as to the sta
bility of Texas land titles, the be tier
for the state and all interested in her
growth.

Appearing before the committee hav =
ing in charge the funeral ofMr. Davis
Captain Jacob Gray, of the Grand
Army of the Republic, said that he
would be proud as a soldier OF the
United States, to honor the memory
of the illustrious patriot, soldier and
statesman of the South. He could
not forget that Jefferson Davis had
been a soldier of the United States
who had rendered distinguished ser
vice or fail to recognize that he was a
great and pure man. Jefferson Davis
should, as a gallant soldier, be ac-
corded soldiers burial with every
show of profoundest respect and love
of his people. IF it is agreed con-
tinued Captain Gray, that the
body of the dead chieftain shall be
borne to the cemetery upon the
shoulders of old veterans, I, as a rep
resentative of the Grand Army of tn e
Republic, shall certainly demand to
have right to assist in the perform
ance of that sad and honorable duty"
Truly would the North and South
long ago have been welded together in
unity of feeling as they are in govern
mental effect if the north had been
peopled throughout with such men as
Captain Gray. The past is dead, and
the sooner it is buried the better for
us and posterity.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.

The county judges (ex-officio county
superintendent of the following
counties have to this date failed to
submit their annual reports of school
officers to the department of education
in accordance with chap. A, secs. 6 and
7, school laws: Arkansas, Concho,
Marion and Runnels.
No report has been received from
Junction City independent school dis.
trict.
The treasurer of school funds of the
following cities and towns have not
made statements of school funds
Texarkana, Kerrville, Llano city and
Wichita Falls.
Those officers whose duty it is to
make reports to this department and
failing to do so after certain time
are liable to a fine of not less than $25
nor more than $500.
The following from the Nation was
picked up in the department of edu-
cation yesterday, and it is worthy OF
serious attention by school teachers
We are hearing good deal just now
of the need of other kinds of training
than mere literary training in the
schools. There is loud demand, not
only for manuel but for moral and re-
ligious training-something very hard
to get in satisfactory shape, because
its efficiency must largely depend on
the character of the teacher. 1t is
not every teacher who can make him
self or herself moral or religious in
fuence, or even furnish a proper We
hicle for moral or religious instruction.
But there is branch of ethics which
might be taught in every school, and
which ought to be taught in every
school, but is grossly neglected to the
great national detriment-we mean
what is called manners or "minor
morals" In this field it is safe to say
our common schools do nothing, OF
next to nothing, and there is none
within their reach in which they might
do so much.
We are not now talking of the kind
of demeanor in ordinary intercourse
known as "pohteness," though this is
terribly deficient in nearly all our boys
and girls. Little or nothing is done
in the schools to combat the mischiev-
GUS delusion that suavity of manner
is a confession of social or other in
feriority and that in order to preserve
his self-respect and maintain his re-
publican equality, an American has
to be surly or Indifferent, after the
manner of hotel clerks or expressmen
and too often statesmen and "sales-
ladies" in stores. The result is that

THE NAME OF THE HOME.

From the letter of ex-Lieutenant
Governor Gibbs it seems the impression
is abroad that the name of the Con
federate Home here in Austin is the
"Hood Confederate Home" This is
altogether mistake. The Home is
under the charge of the John B. Hood
camp, is governed by board of direc-
tors elected by that camp, but its
name is simply the Confederate
Home" The suggestion now comes
that this be made to read the "Davis-
Hood Confederate Home" Several
things might be considered before
such change is made. 1t must be
remembered that among contributors
to this Home some of the most
liberal have been Grand Army
of the Republic men. These men
could be pardoned if they
should resent the naming of the
Home after Mr.. Davis. Whether,
now that he is gone to his long rest,
such feeling would find place with
them is to be determined. Yet even
if they would prefer some other name
than his would they not, if by the Sc
lection of such a title for the Home
it could be greatly aided financially
for the good of the institution lay
aside all personal preference of that
kind, is again matter of future de-
cision. THE STATEsMAN's ambition is
in all ways to reach after the best flu
ture for the home. If Gov. Gibbs is

What Is Military Exemption Herep

Houston Post: France proposes to
tax foreign residents "a francs each
annually (about $4.e3) and impose a
tax of 30 francs annually upon each
foreign workman. There are suppos-
ed to be about 100000 foreign resi-
dents in France, so the tax Will yield
quite q revenue. America might very
probably follow her example. There
are thousands of foreigners who come
to this country to "make stake" and
return to their native land to enjoy
it and who have no idea of becoming
American citizens. Others make
their homes here but do not become
citizens, and who claim exemption
from military service. America
should welcome industrious Europe
ans, but should insist that they either
become American citizens and stand
committed to uphold the government
in time of war or pay literally for
military exemption while enjoying
the protection of the stars and
stripes.

THE CITY SCHOOL BOARD.
Election Of Officers-HO Holidays Fixed and
Other Matters.

Election of Oficers-HOlidays Fixed and
Other Matters.
The city school board, in regular
session, among other matters of bust
ness which came up before it, consid-
cred the question OF the Christmas
holiday, and on motion of Mr.. Walter
Tips the board ordered that the
schools be closed on Friday evening,
December 20, and opened on Monday
morning, December 30, thereby giving
the children the usual Christmas
holiday of week. The board further
ordered that there should be no school
on Wednesday, January L.
Mr.. A. P. Woodbridge, as retiring
president, then presented to the board
one or two suggestions for which he
asked their earnest consideration In
the future. The first of these was
the propriety of introducing into tie
colored schools OF the city the art of
sewing, which he believed could be
taught at very small expense, and
would be of incalculable benefit to
the pupils. He also called attention
to the necessity of a careful selection
of teachers to fill vacancies, urging
that the present high standard of the
schools, due largely to the efficiency
of the present corps of teachers, could
be maintained only by appointing
teachers whose experience rendered
them capable of fulfilling the response
bilities which devolved upon them.
Mr.. Woodbridge on retiring ex-
pressed, in few we'll chosen words,
his thanks for the uniform courtesy
and consideration which had been ex-
tended to him during the years of his
connection with the board, and his re-
grets at severing his connection with
body which had worked together so
harmoniously. He stated that such
had been the interest manifested by
the members of the school board in
the work they had to do that in the
eight years and a half during which
he had filled the Office of president of
the board, they had never had a meet
ing at which there was not quorum
to transact business.
On motion the hoard adjourned,
and the new board, consisting of
Messrs. Mathews, Smith, Graham,
Swearingen, Tips, Litten and Max
well, proceeded to organize by making
DR.. J. NJ Litten president pro tenn.
The election Of officers beingin order,
Supt. Maxwell presented the name of
DIR. r. M. Swearingen for president.
He was unanimously elected and
after few words OF thanks took the
chair.
j. w. Graham then nominated DR..
j. M. Litten for vice president, the
board electing him unanimously.
On motion of Messrs. Litten and
Mathews, Walter Tips and J. w.
Graham were reelected to the Offices
of treasurer and secretary.
After transacting some other BUSH
ness the new board adjourned.

How Advertising Paws.

Fort Worth Gazette: The Hous-
ton Post, in the following, gives the
true test of towns successful growth
and commercial Importance: "a
gentleman called at the Office of the
Post yesterday and asked to see a
Laredo paper. He had heard that
Laredo was enjoying boom and de-
sired to size it up by glimpse of the
papers the town is supporting. The
newspaper is the unfailing guide to
the true inwardness of town. Its
advertising columns tell what kind of
men are on deck."-AUsTIN STATES
MAN.
Laredo is reaping where it sowed.
The plucky, booming town of the Rio
Grande had something to advertise, it
wanted to be advertised, and it paid
for what it wanted and got it. And
Laredo has not got what it paid for,
but vast deal more, and sets an ex-
ample we'll deserving attention from
men and communities that seek adj
vertising to the world. Texas people
themselves invest in these newly built
Texas towns, and Laredo has caught
hundreds of thousands of dollars by
advertising itself in Texas rather than
in vain and costly pursuit of outside
capital exclusively. Laredo has been
wise and liberal, and Laredo has found
profit in wisdom and liberality.

right in his estimate of what such a
new name would effect, then it is
matter for instant consideration by
the Home management. But in any
event, true it is that at this time
of such general feeling, such
absorbing interest in the history
and end of Jefferson Davis, no better
monument to his memory could be
erected than an amply commodious
Confederate Home. Its directors are
in a position to view the whole situa-
ton, and they will be looked to for
early action on the proposition of Mr..
Gibbs.

Why It Is So.

Fort Worth Gazette: One of the
best answers to the complaint that
men are better paid than women for
the same service, is from the Atlanta
Constitution, and is of general appli
cation though admitting exceptions
"a man is paid not only for what he
does, but for what he can do when oc
casion requires it. He can do many
things that a woman cannot do. He
is paid for potentiality-for his re
serve power which makes him more
valuable than a woman. 1t is not 6
question of skillful work-it is a ques-
ton of physical endurance-of the
ability to do things which it would be
impossible or improper for a woman
to do.

THE huge ocean steamer the "Great
Eastern" is to be broken up for old
iron and her timbers. Twenty years
ago she was a thing of wonder on the
high seas. But modern travel and
the speed therein developed, proved
she was too ponderous to be of use
and she is to go the way of things not
of the nineteenth century type.

THE HOME.

The Waco Day of Wednesday has
two editorials that fit together very
nicely. They are as follows:
The best monument to the dead is
public charity that blesses the living
and soothes the sorrows of those who
have not yet passed beyond the river
This great truth was stated practically
by Honorable Barnett Gibbs the other
day when he said: "No greater monu-
ment could be erected by Texas to
Jefferson Davis than an ex-Confederate
Home at Austin, to be called the Davis
Southern Soldiers Home" 1t would
be monument more enduring than
brass or marble, and twice blessed.
THE AUSTIN STATESMAN says the
directors of the Confederate Home an
nounce that no more applications for
admission can be considered, because
it now has forty inmates and its ut
most capacity is exhausted. 1t was
st lted few weeks ago that the ex.
penses of the Home are consuming its
meagre fund, and in few years, I'M
less relief comes by more LIBERAL Sub
scriptions, it's doors will have to be
closed for good and all, and the old
ex-Confederates who have found shell
ter within it's walls will be turned
adrift. AS THE STATESMAN says, such
niggardly provision for these vet.
Grams who have so strong a claim on
our sympathy and gratitude Is re-
proach to the rich and populous state
of Texas.

The following, from the San Anto
Mo Express, is hardly in that spirit of
fair play to which the Afternoon Press
is entitled. The paragraph reads
"The Galveston Tribune is aglee over
the prospect of vastly improving the
news service of the afternoon papers
of Texas, plans for which highly de-
sired end were devised at recent
meeting at Waco of the representa-
tives of the so-called twilight twink
lers. There is no good reason why the
Afternoon Press of Texas should not
be abreast in their field of the morn
ing papers in theirs. Dallas and San
Antonio are very well supplied with
spicy afternoon journals, but it must
be acknowledged that the other large
towns in the state are not. 1t is hoped
that the movement started at Waco
will result in practical good to the
evening papers, which at their best
are excellent advertisers of the morn
ing papers," The Afternoon Press OF
Texas is filling "a long felt want" 1t
is doing its duty well, and should
everywhere meet with substantial en-
couragement.

THE New York World calls pointe

The New York World calls pointed
attention to a very plain duty of the
South. 1t says: $50 long as Mr.
Davis lived he was too proud to ac-
cept assistance from those who would
have been only too happy to aid him,
Today his widow and children are, in
a certain sense, the wards of the
Southern people. For them Mr.. Davis
sacrificed everything. The people for
whom he wrought and suffered will
undoubtedly see to it that his family
is placed beyond care and secured in
the comforts to which its members
are entitled. And in this good work
there viii be much responsive SYM
path among the people of the North,
who onh that this is indeed the era of
ri Add1 reconciliation and who can
