A CLEBURNE man came out of the
penitentiary the other day under
rather peculiar circumstances. He
had been wearing the stripes for ten
years, and had served but third of
his term. His friends had been at
work, and he was at last proven inno-
cant of the crime for which he had
been imprisoned. Governor Hogg
sent him a "full PARDON and the
bolts and bars between this man and
liberty were withdrawn. He went
out of the prison walls, and took his
way back to his old home. For ten
years he, an innocent man, had been
wearing convict stripes, and the iron
of prison life had been eating into his
soul. He went in, a young man, and
he comes out with spirit broken, feel
ing the blight of the prison in his
soul; and will doubtless do the best he
can with his broken life. But as he
tries to begin the world again, what
must be his thoughts of the majesty
of the law that could make such
blunders?

TEXAS AND THE WORLDS FAIR.
Our summer season, with it's north
ern exodus tendency, is over, and we
can again settle down to business.
This hiatus has been especially dis
tressing in matters Of Worlds fair
moment. 1t is learned that the di-
rectory Of that movement in Texas
have, for the past two months, been
scattered to the other three points of
our compass, with our fair south land
left to take care Of itself. There must
be system in all movements OF they
die a-borning. Texas has an excellent
Worlds fair directory, and those gen.
tlemen should now take hold of the
work entrusted to them with that
ability, on account of which they were
chosen to represent us, and with that
zeal that knows no cessation of effort
until success is blazoned ON the outer
wall. Various plans have been sug
gested for the thorough canvass of the
state for subscription to the Worlds
fair fund, one plan has been adopted,
but this may be supplemented with
others. This determination is matter
for the directory's decision, and that
body cannot get to work too soon to
pledge Texas most perfect represen-
tation in Chicago in 1898.

A UNIVERSITY CHAIR VACANT.

a
The Board of Regents of the Uni
versity could not have made a better
selection for the chair of surgery at
the medical branch in Galveston than
when it placed therein DR.. M. Il. Fin
ney. He was born in Belair, Hartford
county, Maryland, where his father
and grandfather served for many
years large Presbyterian congrega-
ton. He is a young man, % years of
age, a graduate Of Princeton and the
medical department of the University
of Pennsylvania. He has for two years
been an assistant surgeon at Johns
Hopkins hospital, the largest, best
equipped and richest endowed hos
pital in the world. DR.. Finney is a
young man of fine ability, splendid
character, great experience and in
domitable energy. And it is for this
reason THE STATESMAN regrets to re.
produce the following notice from the
Baltimore Sun of the 10Th, which
announces DR.. Finney will not accept
the position rendered him by Texas.
The notice reads:
DR.. John NJ I. Finney son of Rev. L. D. Fin
ney of Belair, has declined the position of pro-
tessor of surgery at the Medical University OF
Galveston, Tex, to which he was recently
elected. He has been elected by the trustees as
assistant professor of surgery in Johns Hopkins
hospital, Baltimore, in which he was first as
sistant surgeon.

WHY WIS ZIP

THE STATESMAN has received the
Texas Columbian Journal, published
at Dallas with headquarters at Fort
Worth. The STATESMAN supposes
that the publication of such journal
is all right, but it does not quite I'M
derstand what necessity there was for
it. The Texas papers, almost without
exception, have forwarded the
Worlds Fair work from the very be-
ginning and have published column
after column of addresses, letters, par
agraphs, reports of meetings absolute
ly free of charge. 1t is a curious
stroke of policy to put the Worlds
Fair business into the columns of an
unknown newspaper with a limited
circulation instead of leaving it with
the hundreds of papers that were
carrying it to every paper in the state
but doubtless the Fair managers
know why they did it.

The city public schools are generally
better than the country schools, because
they are graded and have q teacher for
each grade. But every critical observer
who is competent to give judgment knows
that the work of the best graded city
schools, while, perhaps, not inferior in
those grades to that of the best private
schools, must be of necessity much slower.
This ought not to be so, and if there were
intelligent and wise management it would
not be so.
There ought to be some means for
good, studious, quick pupil to pass away
from one grade to higher one. Instead
of the long steps from one grade to an
other, thefe ought to pe, and there could

grade, in which the pupil might have the
opportunity OF passing up to the next, if
