TO FRIENDS OF CANDIDATES.

Thus early in the campaign The
STATESMAN wishes to call attention to
a matter that really should suggest it
self to every one without this notice.
Every candidate for Office, whether
State or county, has his friends who
naturally desire to see their cham
pion's praise in newspaper print.
This, while most agreeable to said can
didates and friends, would prove quite
tax upon newspaper space and
finances. Discriminating in publish
ing such matter cannot and should
not be made. To admit all free would
be to the paper suicidal, to discrim-
mate would be unjust. To the bus
mess Office OF THE STATESMAN is the
proper place to direct all such laud-
atory notices. A guarantee is given
that the same rate will be furnished
every one. This notice will be con-
sidered as binding throughout the
campaign.

LADIES Chances of MARRYING.

Every woman has chance of "catchine
a husband" but it is conceded that young
ladies between 20 and 25 years of age arg
more likely to draw the matrimonial
prizes. However it is not an unusual thing
to hear of the marriage of lady who has
passed the three-quarter century mark.
Yet. how can woman, weak, dIspirited,
enervated and tormented by diseases COM
mon to her sex. hope to become happy
wife and mother? of course she cannot;
yet by the magic aid Hof DR.. Pierce's Fav-
orite Prescription, all these obstacles are
swept away. As a powerful invigorating
tonic, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
imparts strength to the whole system, and
to the womb and its appendages, in par
ticular. For over worked, worn out"
run down" debilitated teachers, milliners,
dressmakers, seamstressess, ''shop girls"
housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble
women generally, it is the greatest earthly
boon, being unequaled as an appetizing
cordial and restorative tonic.

referred to, $1479. She received from
the treasury $40S, one-half of which,
and little more, was derived from
the land fund. In other words, while
Childress pays this amount into the
treasury, she received of money raised
by taxation and has returned to her
only about 5000; that is to say, Chill
dress pays into the State treasury for
| school purposes more than seven
times as much as she is permitted By
the State to expend at home for the
education of her children. Tom Green
county paid into the treasury at Aus.
tin about $7400 school tax. and re-
ceived back thereof about $1700.
Jones county contributed $2100, and
was permitted to give her children the
benefit of but 5000. Frio county re-
ceived back about one-half of what she
gave. Tarrant was required to con-
tribute $4,000 more than her share,
while Dallas under home rule might
have kept at home SIT 800, which,
through the State treasury, departed
from her borders forever. The lack of
law providing for local taxation for
school purposes compelled Donley
county to pay sixteen times as much
for the public schools of Texas as
Texas allowed her to use for that pur-
pose at home. And 80 it is to a greater
or less extent with all counties in
the Western two-thirds of the State.
Home rule and local self-government
are Democratic doctrines which
should apply wherever possible, espe-
cially in State so large and varied in
local conditions as Texas. The set
tiers in the West have to contend
with difficulties of which the citi-
liens of more advanced and developed
sections have no adequate conception.
They are generally poor people and
the opportunities for profitable en-
ployment are few indeed. The build
ing of a school house in Tom Green,
Donley or Frio is a serious matter to
the neighborhood and costs several
times as much as elsewhere in the
State. And the taking of the scant
means of these people and disbursing
OF it in sections already provided is not
only unjust but is unkind.
The school revenue necessary to
supplement the fund derived from
lands, interest, lease. etc., must be
raised by taxation. If this taxation
should be raised locally and is disbursed
locally many advantages would result.
The Western counties would soon
have comfortable school houses for
their children. There would not then
exist in any county the temptation
and inducement to get from the State
and spend as much as possible, but
each county bearing its own burdens
the citizens who pay the taxes will be
watchful of expenditures, and thus
economy will be assured. Equity and
charity will set up in the land.
With best wishes for the Gazette
and her readers, and for you person
ally, yours very truly,
r. M. HALL.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-05-29

ing out tbs general system there have
been found details that contain
neither justice nor equity. This con-
dition of affairs has at each recurring
session of the legislature thrust before
it grave matters for settlement. A
full solution of the problem has not
been arrived at, and he will be last
ing benefactor of Texas, richly deserv-
ing monument, who does resolve
the problem into its component parts.
Mr.. Hall, who has so successfully ad-
ministered the affairs of the general
land Office for the past three years, and
who is intimately acquainted with the
workings OF the landed relations OF
the State, has just issued an open lev
ter to the editor of the Fort Worth
Gazette, in which he points OUT some
glaring inequalities in the school land
law. That letter, published in this
issue, will repay a careful reading.
1t not only presents in very strong
light an important State question, but
it injects new issue into the political
campaign. The people have been
bounded with the railroad howl so
long that this diversion will
prove most agreeable. Legislatures
in times past have tried to correct the
abuses mentioned and have failed. A
bill looking to such result died aborn-
ing in the last legislature. The ques-
ton thus sprung by a candidate for
the governorship must attract the at
tention of the State, elicit much dis
cussion, which it is certainly to be
hoped will result in the formulation of
such a plan as will, by the next
legislature, receive the stamp of law
working to the great and permanent
good OF the.public school interests of
the State.

THE Fort Worth Gazette is respon-
sible for this bit of information at
is said that Hon. Henry Mcdonald
will soon give his reasons for with
drawal, and that they will make rich
reading. 1t is surmised that he was
disguised with the "anti-commission
men who were lodging square fight
by masquerading under the banner of
"milk and water" commission men.
Mr.. Mcdonald was for square fight
on the issue, and refused to counten-
ance or be made tool of by
the "non-partisan business mems
club" and the "two thirds rule
scheme" He took the manly position
that the commission was either right
or wrong, and if the people believed it
right it should be a vigorous, live
commission, and he put it in the
hands of its true friends" THE
STATESMAN likes to see issues squarely
drawn. and if Mr.. Mcdonald was de-
serted by friends whom he had the
right to see stand up with him in a
straight out contest, he did we'll to
withdraw.

URGENT NEED FOR ACTION.

Mr.. George Norman, the. accredited
agent OF the Jefferson Davis relief fund,
who has his headquarters at Austin,
in the interest of his cause has just
issued another personal appeal, Of
which the following is the substance:
/ am today in receipt OF letter
from the executor OF Mr.. Jefferson
Davis estate, saying it is absolutely
necessary for some money to be raised
at once in order to prevent the plan
tation left by him to his noble widow
from being sold. The urgency of this
letter is my apology for again appeal
ing to you for patriotic, prompt and
united action all over Texas on the
anniversary Of Mr.. Jefferson DAVIS
birthday, Tuesday, June 3, next.
Please organize at once, appoint
committees to solicit, make q great
effort, and send every dollar you can
raise to Gov. f. r. Lubbock, state
treasurer, Austin, to be forwarded by
him to Mrs. V. Jefferson Davis. In
doing this you will perform a timely
and praiseworthy deed, and an act of
duty and Justice to the memory of the
South's great dead.
If the noble women OF Texas will
become interested; if the mothers,
wives and daughters of the gallant
Texans, who won imperishable re-
nown at Oak Ridge, Mansfield,
Corinth, Vicksburg, Franklin, Chick
amauga, Gettysburg and hundredn OF
other historic fields; and also of that
band OF heroes, in the recital of whose
valor, courage, devotion and death the
most daring and brilliant achieve
ments in history pale away at the
bare mention of the names of the
Alamo, Goliad and San Jacinto; if
they will assist in this laudable move
ment, success is assured.
Referring to my circular OF the Path
inst, parties can subscribe to either
the relief fund or the land company.
If they are not able to subscribe $40
for share OF stock, club, with the
names of as many as four, can be put
in one certificate to make up a share
of stock. The relief fund is any
amount the donor may feel disposed
to give, but no certificates of stock
will issue for such donations, but this
amount will also 60 to swell the ag-
gregate OF the land company, and both
funds will be used exclusively to assist
in paying off the Indebtedness now
resting upon the plantation left by
Jefferson Davis to his noble widow,
and prevent its sale.
Please get your paper to agltate it
vigorously, and allow me to urge you
to organize at once and appoint com.
mittees TO solicit, l suggest this rs the
very best plan, as very many will be
glad to give if their attention is called
to it, who otherwise would not do so.
Many charities are especially eff
hctive of good because of the aptness
of the time at which rendered. This
relief fund offers an instance Of such
charity. The people Of Texas should
act promptly and literally. The at
tention of our home people is especially
called to this last appeal.

INEQUALITY IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
SYSTEM.

One of the most important ques-
tons in Texas affairs, as it touches
the people so closely, is the public
school question. Sound schooling is
the foundation OF a States greatness,
and that State is admitted the most
progressive, that has the best system
of public free schools. In this respect,
Texas, for a new State has been won
derfully blessed. Owning her own
public lands, she wisely determined to
set great bulk of them aside as an
endowment of her public schools.
The absolute value of this en-
dowment has not and will not
for many yeas be fully real
lied upon. But great as has been
this advantage TO the schools in work.

OCCASIONALLY the veil is lifted and
a glimpse is caught of the holy Of
HOLES, the inner workings of news
paper life. The Post thus reprints and
comments: "The San Marcos Free
Press rubs violently against a truism
when it says:
IT'S easy to start newspaper, but
to keep it going year in and year out,
is quite different thing
"And yet there are people who
imagine that the chief duties of a
newspaper man consist in accepting
subscriptions and prepaid ads and re-
fusing invitations to rupture an "orig-
inal package" If they only knew
how much time was consumed in re-
fusing to have free horse ridden to
death and in booming the home town
for nothing and with but little thanks.
True joy was never experienced by
mortal man except he be a managing
editor OF daily newspaper.

THE FARMER IN POLITICS.

From recent expressions from the
Kansas Alliance and elsewhere it is
apparent that the farmers have begun
to realize that they are not only max
ing less money than other sections
but are being impoverished by gov
eminent policy that does not impose
its burdens equally on all classes.
Half the farms in the Western States
are under mortgage and foreign syndi-
Gates in reality own large portion of
the country, while thousands of the
tillers of the soil are liable at any mo-
ment to be turned out of their homes
-evicted-at the hands of foreign
landlords. But at this point the man
with the hoe has evidently awakened
not only to sense of his real situa-
ton, but to the character of its
causes. Next thing they will be cast
ing about for a remedy, and if they
do not make themselves ielt at the
ballot box in reducing the present
high protective tariff, the source of
all their woes, which will be made
still higher, more oppressive by the
Mckinley bill if it becomes a law,
then, as a class, they are more obtruse
than they have been given credit for.
