to prevent the erection and encourage
ment of factories in Texas. and there is
O reason for 1t. They find It more
profitable to haul the raw material out OF
Texas TO the New England manuiae tor
les, and to bring tn, manutnctur ed goods
back than TO transport the manufactured
goods short distances in the state. There
Is no ointment about this-it is business.
When the raw cotton and wool is manu-
featured up North the railroads get pay
for transporting both ways.
We remember few years ago when we
hal condensed beef mandatory ut
Borden, IN this county, under the man
agement OF Mr.. Gail BOrd-n, u gentle
man of means aud much energy. He
made liberal concessions to the railroad
for depot grounds, etc. erected houses
and imported considerable amount OF
machinery 10 be employed in the works.
For time all went along smoothly and
Mr.. Borden commenced the manufac-
ture OF condensed beef TO be shipped
abroad in cans. The railroad established
depot near the works, put in switches,
water tank, etc and all were cougratu-
lattng themselves upon this valuable
manufacturing establishment In Colo
rado county. II did not last long. 1t
soon came to grief. The railroad COM
pany suddenly discovered that it would
he more remuuerative TO transport the
beeves on foot, ana the tariff on Mr..
BOrden's product was raised 10 such an
extent that 1t was not paying invest
ment. Borden il now flag station, aud
the works OF Gail Borden have beeds
torn down and removed 10 other poults.

An excellent article of cloth wassfnale
there, aud it was the pride ef some
patr.o otto gentlemen to boast 5fGat thsy
were apparelrd in o suit of Takas manu-
featured cloth. 1t was pretty suit anu
n good one. We are informed that the
company found it cheaper TO ship their
goods TO new York aud thence to Texas
than TO ship their products from the mills
TO different parts of Texas. II is also
said the Northern manufacturers got up
shoddy article and called it New
Braunfsls goods. These two causes are
the reasons we have heard assigned for
the suspension of the wooden mills at
New Brauufels.
Texas can never attain Its full pros
perity without the upbuildiug of manu-
featuring establishments within its OOr-
ders. This prominent tact is generally
admitted, aud it Is work of superero-
CATION TO discuss II. In order thut they
may be successful they must have cheap
freight rates, so that they may come in
with Northern manufactured
articles. To this end the adoption of the
commission amendment seems TO offer
the best solution of the difficulties envir-
ing the establishment and maintenance
of manufactures in the state.

bankrupt themselves. They should ut
least be allowed equal liberty in this par
ticular with the dweliers In towns and
cities. There is neither rhyme nor rea-
son in treating them as so many over
grown children who would, if not prop
erly guarded, Tux themselves to death
for the sake of knowing something. Five
mills on the dollar is very light tax,
and if permitted and voted as the law
requires, by two-third majority, would
place great many school districts IN
healthy and fiourishing condition.

A DEMOCRATIC victory in November IN
the Northern states would be partisan
calamity. The Republicans should be
left in control of the presidency, senate
and house until 1892, that all the re-
sponsibility of the infamous legislation
may rest where it properly belongs. A
Democratic house of representatives
could not repeal or modify the odious
new tariff tax, and it would be better for
the Democracy IL the Republicans could
be left to work their sweet will with the
people until an opportunity came in 1892
to overthrow the whole gang.

cause the roads are always eager TO adopt

LOCAL -TAXAT1oN FOR SCHOOLS

LOCAL TAXATION FOR SCHOOLS.
Superintendent Cooper discusses at
some length IN his last report on educa-
tional matters, the question of local tax
alton for the bertermeut of rural schools.
| The law al present requires six months
school in the year, but for lack Of
funds the requirement of the law cannot
| be carried out. 1t therefore becomes
the imperative duty of the legislature to
SO provide that the obstacles in the way
of existing law lie removed and u fresh
| impulse be given to the march of educa-
ton. This question will come up in the
legislature, and will have TO be disposed
of some how.
From the state school tax the available
funds for school purposes amount to
about 81 500 900, or as Mr.. Cooper says,
about one half the sum needful for main
tanning an efficient system of schools.
This can, and should be increased about
half million by increasing the present
school tax from twelve and one-half
cents to twenty cents on the 500, the
constitutional limit. But as this would
only partially relieve matters. the law
confirming rural school districts to a max
imun local tax of two mills en- the dol
lar, should be altered so as to admit or
an increase from this source. not only
for the purpose of longer school term,
but for building and improving school
houses. The vast difference between
urban and country schools arises mainly
from the fact that the people of cities are
permitted to tax themselves to almost
any desired amount for the pur-
pose of erecting and equpping
elegant aud commodious school
houses. No such privilege is permitted
those living outside OF corporate cities.
Their school tax must stop at 2 mills,
whether that be enough to build school,
house or not. In the majority of cases
it is not enough. Mr.. Cooper can im-
agIue ne other reason for such lirnita-
ton on the building OF schoolhouses, IN
less it be that there might not be money
enough left to put into the building aud
filling of courthouses ana iails. And in
truth he does not appear to be far wrong.
According to the statistical report for
the scholastic year of 1889, there were
1928 public schools in the state outside of
towns and cities. or these less than
half, or 1860, were taught in public |
schoolhouses. The majority of them, or
1868, were taught in other than school
houses, or the 1860 schoolhouses re-
ported less than half were reported to
be in good condition. In other words, |
the majority of them were better fitted
for housing gram or stock than for
school purposes. or the 1928 rural
schools in the state only POSI- were taught
in public school buildings of tolerable
condition. Is that a record that the
can be proud Of? Dosa 1t not show
that vast deal is yet to be done toward
elevsting and improving eduoational
matters In the state, and that there
should be no delay about it? The maxi
mum local tax law of two mills should
be abolished and districts that chose to
do SO should be permitted to tax them
selves ad lib In order to build and equip
whatever manner Of sehoolhouses they
want. There IL no danger that they will

STARVED TODEATH.
Two Lonely Sisters Who Became Sick and
Could Not Procure Help.

A shocking case OF starvation and death
has come TO light in the town of Carleton.
n. b. Two elderly maiden sisters. Misses
Ellen and Johanna Sinnott, have lived for
years a retired life in their home. They
were well-to-do, and the house was fitted
up comfortably on the inside. but so an
noyed were they at the inquisitivepess of
their neighbors that they had all the lower
windows boarded up.
For some time they had not been seen,
but as il was their habit of laying IN a
stock of provisions and keeping indoors a
month at time no attention was paid to
their absence until yesterday. when q
passer-by saw in an upper window the
figure Of gaunt, starved-looking cat.
Thinking something wrong he notified the
police, who broke open the door. The
sight was distressing one.
In bed in the second floor front was
the dead body OF Miss Ellen in the last
stages Of putrifaction, while in q rear
room was the dying form of her sister.
She lived long enough to say that both
became i'll Of typhoid-fever and were I'M
able TO 60 out and get aid or to cook their
food.
They had starved for twenty-one days.
The only thing she could get was pound
Of biscuits which were in the room. The
other canned stun she could not open.
