To our mind there is something
very preposterous in the course of our
other county papers in urging the
Claims at this early day, of candi-
dates for governor, congress and dis
trict and county Offices. The election
will not come off till year from next
November. To defer the subject till
next spring would allow the most
ample time for all suggestions look
ing to the canvass. Speaking ut
least for Hays county, what the peo-
pie want from the newspapers is, not
taffy, gush and twaddle in behalf of
supposed candidates, so far ahead Of
time, but something to improve their
material interests, so as to help them
out in the hard struggle for subsis-
tence. Many of them are hard-put-
to-it to make both ends meet from
year to year, many have their proper
ty incumbered and are paying usur
ious rates of interest in the too Of
ten vain hope of redeeming it. What
do people in this position care about
having political wire-working obtrud-
ed upon them before the proper
timef
They want especially to feel an
assurance they cannot now feel, that
the hard.earned taxes wrung from
them have been honestly, applied; or
il true accounting is refused, that
restitution be sternly demanded and
enforced
These are among the foremost
wants of our people, compared with
which all this fuss nearly a year
ahead of time, about candidates and
their "cllims," ooks ridiculous and
puerile. We therefore beg our es-
teemed contemporaries of the Times
and Star to ''hold up" on this sort Of
stuff, and Join with the FREE Pass in
advocating, first and foremost, the
rights of the voters and taxpayers 10
fair dealing and a square administrr-
ton Of the affairs Of the county.

The Fort Worth Gazette very
CLEARLY puts truth that should be
patent to every one. 1t says: "Men
with interests to be promoted, and
not wage workers, should put up the
money TO build a town, because such
money is an investment and the wage
worker has nothing upon which such
investm emit will yield profit; while
the real estate owner and dealer, the
merchant, the banker, the street car
owner, the ice man, the capitalist and
every one with something to sell or
be EXCHANGED in value always derives
profit from investment in the town
progress. Men who have nothing to
gain should not be expected to invest
their wages for the benefit Of those
who have so much to gain from the
towns growth. City property
owners would do well to ponder these
words and our merchants eau also
take them to heart

President Barnard, of Columbia
College. complains bitterly Of the
use Of cigarettes by children. He is
IN favor Of laws prohibiting the sale
of tobacco to minors. He considers
the cigarette to be undermining the
health of the rising generation and
establishing in the young craving
for opiates, since almost all cigar
cites are drugged. The giant evil OF
incorporate drinking is not greater
than the use OF tobacco at the present
day. The chief difficulty in dealing
with the subject is that when men
smoke the 10c, cigars, boys cannot
be kept from lc. cigarettes. Better
than a law against minors is q revival
OF common sense on the part of pa
rents and friends OF the young.

Public school Buildings.

Councils of incorporated towns
having control Of public free schools,
have authority to issue bonds for
building housos without vote OF the
taxpayers thereof.
Upon q request from San Marcos,
Superintendent Cooper has obtained
the following important opinion from
the attorney general;
Hon. o. H. Cooper, Superintendent Public
instruction, Austin, Texas
Dear Sir-By your letter Of the
23rd inst, calling for an opinion OF
this Department, you ask the ques-
ton HAS M incorporated city OF
town in control OF it's public free
schools the authority, through its
Council, to issue bonds for public
schoolhouses without vote of two
thirds of the taxpayers thereof
The Legislature, by act OF 1887,
General Laws, chapter 55, settled
this question aflirmatively in unmis,
taxable language. Under section 0,
article 8 OF the Amended Constitu'
ton, any incorporated city or town
on legislative authority may levy a
tax for the erection Of public build.
ings. The Legislature, by said act Of
1887, has construed tho term "public
buildings to mean buildings for the
public free schools and institutions OF
learning
The provisions OF section 3, article
of the Constitution may not have
been Intended to apply to cities and
towns, constituting independent
school districts, rs they IRE expressly
excepted from the limitation upon
the amount of the district tax there
in authorized. The purpose of the
tax mentioned in said section is to
aid in the maintenance of public free
schools and the erection OF school
buildings therein. The exemption
therefore OF cities and towns from
the limitation upon such purpose
would imply that such corporations
should look to other law for authority
in the performance of their duties
towards the public free schools. BY
section 10 of article IL, the legisla
ture is authorized to constitute in
corporated cities and towns separate
and Independent school districts and
to confer upon their councils under
certain restrictions, on two-thirds
vote of the taxpayers of such county
or town, to levy and collect tax fol
the support and maintenance of the
public institutions of learning. Meth
er by this section, nor by section 3oi
article 7, before referred to, is city
or town expressly authorized to levy
q tax to build school houses. Th,
only constitutional limitation or au
authority on the question seems t;
be in section 8 of article 8, under
which the legislature acted as afore
said in passing the law Of 1887, and
such net is doubtless correct.
In answer therefore to your ques
ton, you are hereby respectfully adj
vised that said act is constitutions
and fully authorizes cities or towns
having the control of the public fret
schools therein to issue bonds for tht
erection of public free school build
ings within their limits and to levy
a tax not exceeding twenty-five cents
on the one hundred dollars worth OF
property to pay for them, and this
they can do by action of their coun.
ellis without any vote of the people
in favor thereof.
Very respectfully,

Land Titles In America,

A man named George Clark died
last week in New York. At one time
he was one of our largest landlords,
owning 10000 acres in New York
alone, and was prominent in the rent
war as one of the worst of the land
lords. His title as earth owner
shows the absurdity Of NIL claims to
the absolute ownership of land in
this country. 1t seems that one OF
his ancestors was granted an immense
tract of land by Queen Anne, who
had no more moral right to give
away tue land of America than John
Smith or james Jones, yet, strange
to say, the average man to-day seems
to think there is something sacred in
these titles. One is tempted to ask
these believers in vested wrongs tie

The commission investigating the
re.rating Of pensions have determin'
ed to make preliminary report to
Secretary Noble next week. This is
taken to mean that the in vestigation
has not in the opinion OF the investi-
gator so far sustained any o: the
charges made, and that the prelimin'
airy report is made to give the Secre-
tsry of the Interiors good excuse for
ordering the Investigations stopped

sells Secretary Bayard had to accede
to it, or rather he thought it right to
do so. The laws have not been
changed since the seizure referred to-
but this administration seems to put
a different construction on them. 1t
is to be hoped that it will now have
the necessary courage to refuse to
surrender the seized vessel"

possible to modify them sufficiently
to save the vessel. A court martial
may come OF it.
