NEXT YEARS ENcAMPMENT.

permanent militia camp for this state
bears fruit. General Roberts and
Colonel Smythe favor the idea and
| would also like to have the time of
such encampment extended to two
weeks. San Antonio is generally IA
vored for the next years meeting,
and before the camp breaks up the
LIGHT would suggest no hasty deci-
sion against this city. Matters are
not to the liking of San Antonio in
many things during this encamp-
ment, that can and will be remedied
if the encampment is held here next
year. The commissary department
was farmed out to the highest bidder
and this was a mistake. A man
should have been selected who would
have taken pride in setting the best
table ever spread before the soldiers
of Texas. This matter will be closely
looked after another year, and the
experiences of this year will be in
valuable. 1t is no small matter to
serve fifteen hundred hungry men
acceptably, and San Antonio promi-
ses her soldier guests an improve
ment on this years commissary.
Some better arrangements for cots
can be made, but there was a mis-
understanding of some kind, for the
boys who disobeyed orders and
brought cots and mosquito bars were
better off than those who obeyed Or
ders and took blanket in the sand.
The citizens of San Antonio are
heartily glad to welcome the militia
of the state and have endeavored to
make arrangements that would be
satisfactory. Should the camp be
pitched here next year it should be
for longer season, and the citizens
should ask that day be set apart for
showing the companies the city and
its suburbs. This year they have
seen really nothing of San Antonio,
and this is more unfortunate for the
CITY than it is for the soldiers them
selves. Here are nearly 1000 young
men, live, wide awake, enegetic,
who go TO all parts of Texas bearing
lasting impressions of city they
have never seen. Commerce street is
a mass of dirt and dust at one end;
the streets all over town are canals
waiting pavement; the military plaza
is covered with construction materi'
alls; no provision has been made fol
showing them "West End" Lake
view, Government Hill, Alamo
Heights or any of the suburbs. There
are no accommodations tor getting
around, and the boys as we'll as thu
city are at a disadvantage. Mex

the fact that the heir to the throne of
Barataria was confided to GondoIier

the time being, that either giuseppe or

of redress closed against him. With the
newspaper instinct for finding out what
is going on in the dark and secret places
of the earth, the GLOBE unearthed the
Wild case and exposed the crime that
had been committed in the name of
justice. Public opinion was quick to
coincide with the GLOBES view OF the
case, and under the tremendous pres
sure of public sentiment that had
been evoked by the enterprise
of a single newspaper the president of
the United States, with commendable
promptness, and without waiting for
the.usual red,tape formalities and investi-
cations in similar cases, revoked the
sentence that had been pronounced
against Private Wild and ordered his
Immediate release. 1t is In no spirit of

to its achievements in this matter, but
simply to show the power of the press
when eXerted in a good cause. Neither

Imagine the luxury of such tree, and
the delights of going out to your needle
and-thread orchard and picking a needle
threaded and already for business. Odd
as it may seem to US, there is on the
Mexican plains just such forest
growth. The tree partakes of the ma
ture OF a gigantic asparagus and has
large. thick, fleShy leaves, reminding
one of the cactus, the one popularity
known rs the ''prickly pear" The
needles" of the needle-and-thread tree
are set along the edge of these thick
leaves.
In order to get one equipped for sew
ing, it is only necessary to push the
thorn or needle" gently backward into
its fleSny sheath. this TO loosen it from
the tough outside covering of the leaf,
and then pull it from the socket. A
hundred tine fibers adhere to the thorn
like spider webs. By twisting the
needle" during the drawing opera
lions this fiber can be drawn out to an
almost indefinite length. The action of
the atmosphere toughens these minute
threads amazingly TO such degree as
to make thread twisted from it not
larger than common No. 40, capable of
sustaining a weight of five pounds.

of common 'SiX-cord" thread. The

Even D'Oyly Carte is free to confess
that we have beaten him on his own
ground in the production of Gilbert
81 Sullivan opera. But what has been
especially surprising in the matter of
the performances of "The GOndoliers,"
as given by the David Henderson COM
pany, is the fact of the opera proving a
financial success in addition to the per-
formances being SO excellent. The re-
ceiptS have proven probably to be The
largest ever made in the same length of

is great American success in tho
work, something that very Few people

associated with our republican gov
eminent of which the people are
so Jealous, or so anxious to keep
under their immediate control, as
the common school system. 1t is the
apple of their eye, the chief delight
of their heart. and the one thing alto
gether lovely in popular estimation;
and whenever the federal government
undertakes to take from the states the
right to control the education of the
youth Of the state, there will be some
thing akin to popular instruction in
this country.
Another topic of interest that en-
gagged the attention of the New York
convention related to the desirabllity of
preserving the common school system
in its original purity and the neces-
sity for checking the modern tendency
to make the public schools top-heavy.
The original design of the public
schools was simply to place the
rudimentS Of an education with
in the reach of every child in
the community. and to stop there.
The modern tendency is to build
up academic and collegiate institutions
at public cost, and at sacrifice of the
common schools. 1t is feared that this
policy will prove disastrous to the cause
of popular education in the long run.
There is no obligation resting upon the
state to provide the youth with higher
education, and the taxpayers have rights
which must be respected. The public
school system is an arbitrary one at
best. and those interested in the cause
of popular education cannot afford to
have the system pushed beyond the
proper limits. The proper limitations
are well enough defined IN the name
common school," which is given to the
system in the several state constitu-
tions; and whenever it gets above hat
it will become like tree with the sap
all gone to the branches while the root
is left to die. All Intelligent educators
recognize the danger of our modern ed
vocational methods. and as they are the
ones relied upon to hoist the danger
signal, we are glad to see that they are
SO prompt in giving the warning. Nor
is there any use in prOlonging the dis
cussion over this matter. The sooner
we right-about-face and get back to the
original idea of public school system,
the sooner will the safety of the system
itself be assured.
