Public Schools VIII be Pro-
tected.

Fortunately our public schools
have sustained no damage by the
late Supreme Court decision, or by
any Of the agitations Of the day in
respect TO their rights and priv
leges. Their usefulness may be
impaired and their influence Grip
pied by secret enemies, (the number
Of which may be greater than many
SUPPOSE. But let every good citi-
zen bear in mind that the free school
system of this State cannot be over
thrown without overthrowing the
government Of the State. If any
number of persons are vicious or
ignorant enough to harbor the idea
that the public schools can be
crushed, they are entitled to pity
for their stupidity. Our free pub
lie school system is one Of the ele-
ments Of our State government, in
corporated in it and inseparable
from it. To destroy the public
free school system would be TO des-
troy the constitution, and that
would be to annihilate the State.
Since the late public school ao,ita-
ton tire expressed sentiment Of the
people has been more pronounced
than before. The language is en-
phatic. Hands off the public
schools, no interference with them. z
The public schools supply q want
which would not otherwise be sup
piled to only a limited extent, and
while they have much ezcellency, il
is not claimed they are the best in
the world. Educators distinguish i
as professional teachers, who have
visited the schools in different coun-
tries Of Europe, declare that the
schools in this country compare
well with those older countries
abroad, yet there are methods in
some Of the European schools that
might be employed to advantage
here, and doubtless in due time will
be made available.

Unfinished Education.

A statement is made which is
probably about correct, that over
fifty per cent. Of our educated men
who have had the advantage Of al
college course OF studies, give evi-
dence Of one deficiency in their edu-
cation. This deficiency is more
particularly noticeable in those who
are expected to address public au-
diences weekly or oftener. The
deficiency referred to is evolutionary
training not only in action, but par
ticularly voice culture. The human
voice is capable Of undergoing great
improvement for speaking as well
as vocal music. Clergymen who
have not had the advantage Of
training in the higher institutions
Of learning are Of course not blame
able for elocutionary defects. but
they are not alone the class who
would do well to give attention TO
the desirable accomplishment Of
public speaking. No student in the
schools expects to isolate himself
from public assemblies in his future
life; and may, therefore, reasonably
expect TO be called upon to speak on
some subject qnder discussion; but
how frequently is the response, =
ana not accustomed to public speak
ing, or something equivalent TO it
is heard. What is the public bone
fit for the student to gather a great
store Of useful knowledge, ii he does
not acquire the ability TO impart il

people, as we'll as in home circles

Tariff in Congress.

/ gill HI &~GA4s5 EoS.
The interests Of agriculture, man
ufactures and commerce Of the coun-
try are directly involved in the pro
posed tariff legislation which has for
many weeks been under discussion
in the House Of Representatives,
and having been disposed Of il that
body, Is now before the Senate.
Those people vino wonder Why the
subject Of tariff should occupy So
much time ia Congress, have only a
superficial idea Of its magnitude and
the vast area Of trade it covers.
There are those who suppose tariffs
comprehend only a dozen or two ar
ticlcs Of trade: such will be sur
prised when It is stated in the Sen
ate that The Mckinley tariff bill,
which has passed the House Of Rep
resentatives, contains 5000 sepa
rate items. Some members Of the
Senate, who are probably not
friendly 10 the Mckinley bill and
seek TO delay action, favor Tie Sen
ate committee going through with
this long list TO ascertain whether
the additions and reductions pro
posed are treated with fairness in.
the calculations. If such action
should prevail, It will be weeks and
even months before The final di5po-
sition Of the question is reached.
The Mckinley tariff bill as =
posed the House, involves q new
principle il the theory Of pro5ec-
ton. The change is q radical one
and produces much discussion. In
stead Of protecting home interests
by tariffs, i5 proposes to AID home
industries that need encouragement
by appropriations from tho surplus
in the national treasury Tor this
purpose bountias Will oe appropri-
ated from the national treasury.
The sugar interest by tae Mckinley
| bill, comes in for q Bounty allowing
the sugar producers two cents per
pound bounty, to continue fifteen
years by 8his method Of grant
ing bounties, the problem of cheap
sugar Tor the peopLa IS proposed TO
be solved. The Democrats in Con
gross oppose this nleasnro: they de-
clare that ain a4nuaI appropriations
voted by Congress must devoted by
the succeeding Congress, to be
paid from the national treasury,
and that If BY possibility they can
get control of the next House Of
Representatives, no such appropri-
alton will find favor.
The tariff discussion has been one
Of the most vigorous on that ques-
ton for years; adhesion TO party is
observed from the fact that those
Republicans who voted with the
/ Democrats on. some phases Of she
discussion IN the House, voted With
their own party on She final vote.
Probably with 9 great majority q
the people the result is not looked
upon as one materially affecting
their interests. But with q large
class Of agrioultarists, and those en-
s. gagged heavily III manufactures AND
trade at home and abroad, the tariff
question with them is one Of loss
and aain.

Putting Up Show Fruits.

A California paper says the Auitse9f
that state put up for exhibition af $re
served with a peculiar liquid p H4fed as
follows: Thirty gallons of filtered water
are placed in barrel, and on the water
is placed q tin pan containing 20 cents
worth of sulphur. The sulphur is set on
fire, and the top of the barrels covered
with piece of oilskin, so as to retain
the fumes. When the sulphur ceases TO
burn the covering is removed, allowing
the supply of oxygen IN the barrel to be
renewed, and after stirring the water the
sulphur is again set on fire and the top of
the barrel Ia again covered. This opera
ton is repeated until the sulphur will no
longer burn, when the water is ready for
use. Not only are fresh fruits preserved
in this water, put where decay has set in
it is completely checked, and withered
fruits have their plumpness and color re-
stored. All of the fruit in California on
wheels has been treated in this manner,
and there are jars of fruit now on hand
and looking as fresh as il just from the
trees, that were prepared on this plan
two years ago.

The Hog Question.

There is no small amount of talk pro
for Texas, and, as a rnle, there are
about as many expressed opinions rela-
tive to the matter as there are strains of
the hog. In our opinion, the best hog
for Texas generally is simply the hog
that would be best for the farmer in
almost any other section of the country.
Writing of that particular hog, Ken
lucky correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph says every person concerned
in stock raising should know that all our
modern breeds are only crosses, and that
promiscuous crossing and breeding from
crosses is simply taking the back track,
or next thing to it, in breeding; nor does
it take it long in this way to get back to
the original type. Such being the case,
it must be seen that there is really no
best hog-the hog, after all, is, after a
comparatively shorS ownership, merely
what we make it. His own experience
has long convinced HIM that in the hog
there is really no permanently fixed type
even the old razor baok, so called, is
not fixed, for generous treatment will in
a few generations, SO bring it up that the
best hogglsts on record wouldn L suspect
its origin.
What the ordinary farmer wants is
hog that will hold good its qualities
without very much painstaking to pre-
vent deterioration. Indeed, il is not
variety or pedigree so muoh-tbough
this is worth something's individual
excellence, for even where there be but
two pigs in litter, for instance, one
will almost invariably prove better than
the other with the same care and keep
ing. He regards selection far better than
crossing in case of the hog.
To be more plain, the farmer wants
fairly good hog without having had to
pay anything extra for pedigree con-
nected with it. He wants hog that
will convert his surplus corn or other
surplus products into meat, max
ing the greatest number of pounds
for the quantity of stuff con-
sumed md doing it at the earliest age.
OF course there Is no harm in starting
ones herd from good named type, if
one wants to and feels able to meet the
expense, but unless one knows exactly
who he is patroniziug in his purchase,
the chances of paying for something he
is not getting stand extremely good. A
hog does not show to type like horse or
eow-a little pampering will often fix up
a fourth or fifth cross so that few would
be able to tell it at sight from the pure
article. 1t is therefore considered best,
by most intelligent farmers, to save
money by doing the pampering them
selves.
A good hog, under good treatment,
ought to reach the weight of 200 or 500
pounds at the age of nine or ten months,
and of such it Is hardly necessary to keep
the main stock over winter. The Berk-
shire and the Poland China breeds are
capable of this, or even more; and itz1f
claimed that other breeds, as the ;Tk-
shire, Snffold or Essex, will nearly feaels
the extreme weight here given. Inss III
matter of rapid development tha hiak
grades have something of advanta ler

New Use for Old Cans.

A florist of wide reputation writes to
American Garden that much better
use may be made of many of the emptied
tin fruit cans than that of filling cutters
with them. They are iusvthe thing, he
says, for house plants of many
sorts; retain moisture much longer than
an earthen pot of the same diameter on
top; hold more soil, consequently a
larger plant can be grown in the same
sized pot. He has seen growing in to-
mato cans all manner of house plants,
including hyacinths, in the windows of
ordinary farmhouses, that would put to
shame many of our florists predictions,
and mainly because the plants were in
better quarters than in porous earthen
pots. Try tin cans, after pounding holes
in the bottom for drainage, painting
them nicely, not red-but some neutral
tint that will not detract from foliage or
aower-and mark the result.
Commenting on this the Florida Fruit
Grower says cans are extensively us ed in
that state for the purpose indicated.
Almost every nook and corn er of some
of the country houses are literally filled
with beautiful plants in old tin cans. :.
We have seen the same thing in other
Southern states. We know of one hslse
where may be seen a dozen really pretty
flower pots, all exactly alike, that have
been made up by the women folks with
old tomato cans and green ekra pods.
The pods were carefully chosen, as to
size, packed closely around in cans large
end upward land securely bound in place
with fine wires. The shape of the pods
give TO the pots an outward appear
ance Of flaring upward, or being wider
at the top. A cross cut in the pods has
enabled the builder to draw the wires in
out of sight. After the pods had dried
they were neatly trimmed at top and
bottom and painted a brownish color. :.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Large Number of Candidates for Vice PresI-

dents-PolIties Cuts Figure.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 2s.-The old
sdage of digging hole and falling into
it was well exemplif1ed yesterday in the
Western and Pacific coast combination of
the national committee of permanent or
ganization. 1t made a report recon-
mending that president and five vice.
presidents and a secretary be partial
list of the permanent officers of the
national committee, and that in the se-
lection of the same they should be OF
alternate politics. The national COM
mittee then proceeded TO elect presi-
dent, which they did in the person of
Thomas W. Palmer OF Michigan, he be-
ing Republican. They discovered after
his installment that the first vice-presi-
dent must be Democrat. The Western
and Pacific people had decided to for
ward Hon. IL. q. DeYoung as their
candidate for first vice-president, but he
being Republican that became an i'm
possibility. The result of the above is
that there will only be two Republican
vice. presidents, the second and fourth,
and there are not over fifteen candidates
for those two positions. One of the most
prominent men mentioned in connection
with the place Is Mr.. Jones, editor of the
st. Louis Republic. thus making two
prominent newspaper men candidates for
the same position. Mr.. Young is a very
strong man, having the support of the
West and the Pacific coast, most of the
Southern states and the delegates FROM
New York.
The cause of the interest in the cleo
tion of vice. presidents is the proposed
plan of dividing the exposition into so
many sections, and each vice. president
being placed IN absolute control of one
of the sections. 1t is also expected that
a Siee- president will visit Europe as an
offc1ak of the commissioners in behalf of
the commissioners.

To Prevent Alien. from Acquiring Lands.

To Prevent Aliens from Acquiring Lands.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-A very i'm
portant bill is that of Mr.. Oates of Ala
bama prohibiting aliens from acquiring
title to or owning lands within the United
States. This bill will probably be con-
sidered next week. As a large acreage
of the lands in Texas are held by foreign
ers or foreign syndicatss, the bill is es-
pecially pertinent to Texas readers of
THE GAZETTE. 1t is as follows: That no
alien or person who is not citizen of
the United States shall, after the ap-
proval of this act, acquire title to or own
greater interest than leasehold for
five years in any lands anywhere within
the United States of America and their
Jurisdiction; and any deeds or other con-
yeyances of lands acquired after the ap-
proval of this act by any alien or uunat-
uralized foreigner, or by any company,
firm or corporation composed of such,
shall be void. Provided. that foreign
governments and their representatives
may acquire and own lands or lots suffi-
Gent in quantity for ministerial and le-
cation purposes, to be approved by the
secretary of state: Provided further,
sorry interest and inchoate title to lands
us may descend in case of his death to
his heirs, being citizens, and upon his
becoming citizen of the United States,
or his said heirs in case OF his death, his
title to such lands shall be as perfect as
though he were a native citizen of the
United States; but any land now owned
or hereafter acquired by an alien who
shall for ten years fail to perfect his
naturalization shall be subject to be de-
nounced and forfeited to the United
States, and the district and circuit courts
of the United States for the district in
which such lands or any portion of them
are situated shall have Jurisdiction, and
the proceedings therein shall be accord
ing to the rules of common law: And pro-
vided further, that any alien may, for
valuable consideration, take, hold, as
sign, foreclose, and sell, under any
mortgage or deed of trust, any lands,
within the United States and thaiq7
