tute the State endowment. OF the
unsold school lands 100000 acres
are leased at 4 cents per acre, and
the funds thus derived added to the
annual school fund.
Besides tho State endowment fund,
each county has been granted by the
State four leagues OF land, which
constitute county endowment. As
these lands are sold the funds re-
csiyed are invested under the author
ity OF tho county commissioners
court and the interest on the invest
ment is applied annually to tho sup
port of the schools. A considerable
portion OF these lands is leased for
varying terms of years, and the rem
tai applied as the rental OF the State
school lands. These lands are under
the exclusive control OF tho county
authorities. Seven hundred and
ty-eight leagues have been thus
granted to counties, and reservation
from has been made the public do
main for the unorganized counties.
In addition TO the interest on bonds
and land notes and rental from leases,
the State levies an annual ad valorem
school tax of one and one quarter
mills, dovotes one-fourth OF the occu-
patton taxes and an annual poll tax
OF 81 to the available school fund.
The entire amount of available APP
portioned school fund for the year
1875, was S2,285,00O, and the
total receipts by local trelsurers, in
Guiding balances from the previous
year, were S3,308,000. The dis
bursement for the same year amount
ed to S2,776,000.
Now when it is considered that
several of the main features OF the
above originated almost simultane-
ously with the formation of the Re-
public of Texas, she assumes q
grand pre-eminence in this respect
over most if not all OF her sisters OF
the far south. Section 10 of the
general provisions of the constitution
of 1886 declares 1T shall be the
duty OF Congress, as soon rs circum'
stances will permit, to provide
by law general system OF educa-
cation" Accordingly, in 1889 and
1910 Congress took radical steps in
this direction, giving four leagues of
land to each county for public,school
purposes, rs set forth above. And
the constitution of 1916, article 10
says; "Thelegislature shall, as early
as practicable, establish free schools
throughout the state, and shall fur
nish means for their support by tax
alton on property" And thus the
educational policy of the state pro-
ceeded till it reached its present grand
estate-a policy worthy of the empire
state of the southwest
Now in view of all this, to us it is
great mystery how there should
reasonably be anywhere in Texas

system, thereby administering slal

THE Pilot is known to he fearless in

The Pilot is known to be fearless in it's
criticisms It is apt to be severe at times
but the people can always depend upon
its telling what it believes to be the truth.
One thing every reader will admit is that
it has never praised any Entertainment
unless it was deserving, SO it is with plea
sure the Committee present that portion
of the criticism on the Musin Company
last year relating to Musin. AS the
balance of the Company is new the re-
mainder of the criticism will cut no
figure.
Extract from the Manitowoc Pilot of
January 18th, 1888.
'The Musin Concert on Saturday
evening last was one of that class of
Entertainments which are elevating while
highly enjoyable. Mons. Musin has but
few rivals as a performer on the violin.
There is no other musical instrument
which in the hands of master has such
capacity for stirring the emotions. Its
melody seems to touch responsive chords
In the human organism which vibrate in
unison with the divine harmony. In the
hands of Mons. MusIn the violin speaks
the language OF the soul in tones as
sweet as ever stirred the heart with feel
ing OF delight. These soft, sweet strains
Sound 80 fine That nothing dwells
'twixt it and silence" mark the touches
OF a masters hand. His reception was
most enthusiastic; The burst of applause
at the close OF each performance attest.
ing no more strongly the intensity Of
pleasure than did the breathless atten,
ton indicate wrapt delight"

The tramp "sized up" the marshal's ma

his eyes" by claiming kindred answered
Schneider" giving due prominence to
the digraph "ch." How do you spell it?''

much for the tramp and all he could
master was the sibilant 'S" Seeing the

pushed their claims with greater degree
of success than attends the efforts OF
most cities. When the Scheibe brewery

OF having it rebuilt elsewhere. But the
people OF the village went to work and
stock to the amount Of S35, 900 was raised.
The brewery will be rebuilt better and
larger than it was before. The new
brewery will have a capacity of 10000
barrels and the malt house will besides
furnishing the brewery prepare malt for
the market.

as not to scandalize church goers and the
exhaust was thought to be all right be-
cause it was in the rear of DR.. Pritchard's

protest while on his way to his Office to
break the Sabbath himself. Every cursed
heather in the city, and Jake is as bad as
the worst, dropped in to quote scripture
against the Dissertation of the Sabbath.

no one can save from the burning, quoted

words of painful irrelevancy. And all

while the other fellows didn't have on
any clothing suitable to the sacred char
acter of the day. In the words of re-
spected member of the community sit is

thing forbidden being enacted behind
the scenes.
