Educational Superintendent Cooper
some time ago addressed q circular to all
state superlntendents i'll the United
States, asking their opinion on the ad-
Visibility of the state publishing its own
text books. All but two announced
their opposition to The plan, and favored
the system of free textbooks. The su
perintendent of California, after full
trial OF the state publication, advocates
free textbooks. superintendent Mat
thews of Virginia opposes the state uni
formity, state contracts and state publ
cations, and advocates local uniformity
and local contracts. Superintendent
Thayer OF Wisconsin advocates the dis
trict adoption of free textbooks.
superintendent Cooper closes this section
of his report by saying: "a careful
study of this textbook question leads me
to the conclusion that Its final solution
will be free textbooks - that Is
TO say the school authorities
of each school district will be authorized
or required to purchase text books from
the dIstric: school fund aud furnish them
10 the children free of cost. The argu-
meut for free text books is commend
able. -

members who loaf and have nothing but
q good time all the while they are in the

to have big pull, either IN money or

New Workers have no reverence for the
great soldiers tomb They didn't care
cent about his remains, except In so
far as they might help the city in a busi-
ness sense They do Eot think enough
of his memory TO erect monument
to him. Before long 1t will
be recognized beyond dispute that here
in Washington under the shadow of the
capitol and the White House where Gen.
Grant passed the most conspicuous years
OF his career, there should be temple
where the remains Of all great Americans

REV. A. A. JOHNSON.
He Returns to the Ministry, Carrying with
Hin the Esteem and Respect of the
Mercantile World.

1t will be surprise to many to learn
that Rev. A. A. johnson leaves Fort
Worth this morning to resume his wOrk
in the ministry.
He goes via the Fort Worth ana Dem
yer at o. clock this NOR ming to Chey-
enne, Wy. T., where, under assign
ment of the bishop, he takes charge of
the First Methodist church of that city.
The circumstances surrounding Mr..
Johuson's departure are peculiar, and
the fact that he voluntarily reliuquishes
business IN this city from
which he draws and might con-
tinue to draw an immense
revenue TO take up the somewhat uncer-
tain (humanly speakIng) labor in the
Lord $ vineyard, stamps hun as d man
of grand convictions and the courage TO
execute them.
MIR. johnson has been q resident OF
Fort Worth some ten years. During that
time he has been prominently identified
with the moral, educational aud COM
merciRl advancement of the city.
The success with which he has engaged
in different enterprises of widely diver
gent natures, and the vim with which
he has conducted them are II atters
of pride to the entire city. He it
was who originated the movement
for the Fort Worth university, and nav
Ing pushed forward the undertaking to
organization he was elected to the presi-
dency Of the colleges; a position he held
until the institution was out OF debt and
running along smoothly.
Then Mr. johnson engaged in COM
mercial pursuits, and his record has
been such as to place him in
high standing with the banks
and other mercantile institu-
tons OF the city. He has
been successful in this vocation as in
every other, and IN leaving Fort Worth
the interests he places III the hands of
his agents are no inconsiderabIe trifie,
the result of vigorous but thoroughly
conscientious dealings with the public.
When rendered the pulpit of the First
Methodist church of Cheyenne by the
bishop, Mr.. Johnson was placed in the
alternative of accepting or forever re-
liuquishing the profession of the gospel
ministry and he preferred to accept:
He leaves many friends in Fort Worth
who will miss him, and his loss to the
mercantile circles of the city will be felt.
The best of success is hoped for him in
his new field.

THE BRAZ0S ALL RIGHT
Potter, Lovel & Co.'s Liabilities Now
Said to be Many Millions.
Friendly Reeeivership Discussed for the
Brazos-PoOl Organizing to Carry the
Work to Completion.
THE LIABILITIES GROW. .

Special to the Gazette.
Boston, MASS. Aug. 29.-The Pot
ter, Lowell Sc Co. failure grows in
liabilities. They are now SAID to be many
millions. This morning it is claimed
they hold 50 900, 600 of Farwell's paper.
The Brazos company as corporation
never discounted any paper. The only
parties connected with that corporation
involved are William D. Lee, Abner
Taylor and ]. Otis wetherbee. Their
500 900, and seriously en-
barasses Abner Taylor and Lee.
TnyIor is sick il Washington with two
doctors attending him. Lee is excited.
None of the other directors having in
dorsed any paper are, OF course, not
liable. A friendly recevership is dis
cussed for the BraZos to-day with Thomas
j. Hurley as receiver. Hurley is already
organizing a pool TO take up the work
and complete il.
Talking over the assets one banker of
Boston said this afternoon: "We have
nearly q million in the Brazos. 1t IS now
important as matter of protection that
we complete the work and make 1t
valuable as we have always believed in
ITS future. - The Capitol Land company
is not involved.
THE BRAZos COMPANY IS ATTORNEY TALKS.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Aug. 29.-Mr. c.
W. Ogden, attorney for the BraZos I'm
prOvement company, was asked to-day
what effect the failure of Potter, Lorel
6 ~ ID F.,
company, and said: 1.-THE failure will
not retard the work of the company an
hour. The only connection that this
firm had with the Brazos company was
that they were eudeavoring TO sell some
Of the bonds of the company, and on
their failure to do so other arrangements
we're made by the president, " liam D.
Lee, and the works at the mouth of the
Brazos will be pressed more rapidly than
ever before.
1.-The telegraph reports, said Mr..
Ogden, care incorrect in another par
ticular-that is in stating that there was
a failure TO sell the scrip OF the BraZos.
No scrip or stock OF the company is not
now or has ever been offered for sale,
and none is for sale. The only paper
that the company has ever had on the
market ia its bonds, some of which have
been disposed of, and Potter, Lovel s.
Co. were attempting TO dispose OF other
bonds. The company is not in the least
embarrassed, and has abundant funds
for all its purposes. The works were
never in O more favorable condition.
The east jetty is entirely completed, aud
the west one will be completed before
January l, 1891. You may safely say
that the connection of Potter, Lowell s.
Co. with the Brazos river channel and
dock company had nothing whatever TO
do with their failure

WASHINGTON, Aug. ga congress-
man who does his full duty as such has

of forty or fifty requests are brought in

er give the transaction the appearance
of deliberate money-making scheme
We hope the Commissioners of th,
District, whom President Harrison ap
pointed, enjoy this delicate compli-
ment to them The fact that the gen.
tleman whom the President appointed
Postmaster General was one OF the
donors of this summer residence TO
Mrs. Harrison probably suggested to
Mr.. Keim this fsttering estimate OF
Co umissioners Douglass, Hines and
| Roberts.
Mr.. Mlrat Halstead, exiled from
Ohio on account of his conduct during
the last campaign has recently been
circulating tie story that the value of
Oak View was enhanced by improve
nents made by commissioners sp.
pointed by President Cleveland. Mr..
Halstead probably knows that this is
false; il he does not he ought to. The
improvements referred TO can only be
the new bridge on Woody Road, AMI
the extension Of Massachusetts avenue
The bridge was voted by Congress,
with one branch OF which President
Cleyeland did not have as much intlu-
ence as he was entitled to, and the
other branch Of which was controlled
by his political opponen $. Senator
John James ingalls, was the chairman
of the committee on the Dis ,rict of
Columbia. He was never accused of
seeking to advance President Cleve-
lands political or pecuniary interests.
The bill for the bridge became Law
without tho Presidents signature.
The extension of M ,ssachusetts ave-
nue. was ordered because the owners of
the land through which it was to run
gave the lard for tte avenue, and the
opening of the avenue would make a
quantity of agricultural land taxable
as city lots, aud thus prove good in.
vestment for the city. The extension
Of the avenue will be of great import
ance to the owners of land across Rock
Creek from Washington, now entirely
inaccessible, and to land lying to) far
sou IN Of Woodley Road to be reached
by it. The place President Cleveland
bought fronting south on Woodley
Road aud west on Tenallytown Ros'
aud at least 400 yards north of the ex-
tension of Massachusetts, avenue, will
not be rendered one particle more &C.
cessible or desirable by that extension,
which is still very far from complete.
A map Of the section is enough to con
vince any one that the extension OF
Massachusetts, avenue cannot add to
the value of Oak View. If the avenue
we're to run north Of Oak View it
would add to its value by giving it a
new frontage, but running 400 yards
south of the south front of the place it
will be of no benefit whatever o any
property that Mr.. Cleveland bought.

institute any comparisons between tn

chair aud his foar, and the Pfesiden
who saves his money by accepting as ;
