had a very high opinion of our fair city,

Of course the colonel sympathizes with
the set in which he rules to master. His
delicate honor of little mud will suggest
to the average Texan the saying of the

Hotsper: "But for this vile genius he
would hardly have been soldier" How

A good Methodist lady friend once called
our attention TO very good poem entitled
1.-THE Church and the World" The drift
of it was to show how the world had in
fuenced the church to fall into its ways,
until there was scarcely any difference be-
tween them. Now the position of things
in the town council reminds us of this
poem and its moral. Alderman Wood, for
instance, may be held to represent 'the
world" and Alderman Browne 'the
church. yet they have come so near being
united in sentiment and action, that it
would puzzle Philadelphia lawyer to tell
the difference betW cen them,

Home Truths for Home Consumption.

The following extract from an article
written in behalf of the Kyle public schools
and published IN our other county papers is
strikingly applicable also to San Marcos
"This influence, from whence and why
exerted? Should be considered an influence
! that seems to haye caused a disregard of the
school aw-if not it's direct violation-in
drawing and using free school money with
out right and warrant of law, and so fatal
in its effect to the best interest of the youth
and children of this community. Many
times more than once, has the jesuiticnl
spirit of sectarian purposes, with which all
orders are so unfortunately afflicted. and
which have been opposed to, and has
wo so necessarily and often covertly
against the american idea." as exempli-
fed in the laws of the Nation and the
States, laid its hands upon and meddled
with the free schools, always bringing con-
fusion and wrangling-let an end to it be
determined and made.
Now, thanks to broader intelligence
and better spirit, this opposition is every
where-save notwithstanding and giving
way. Even the Catholic church, which has
always been so hostile and bitter against
the free schools, have yielded to this
american idea," as expressed by resolu-
ton in the Mexican Catholic Congress, but
recently convened in New York; and the
voice and efforts of many of the best edu-
Gators throughout the land are pleading
potently for the free school system, that 1t
may and must be relieved from all secta-
rian meddling, to reach the full measure
of its usefulness, and its purpose for
good"
