HERE is Ex-Governor John Ire
lands plan for the disposition of the
surplus school fund of Texas: 1T
appears that you are to have trouble
in investing the permanent school
fund. I suppose all will admit that
the state is good security for it.
Reduce taxation, let the people keep
their money and as needs may arise
place the bonds of the state in the
treasury, drawing any interest you
may choose; and as you place the
bonds let the school fund to that ex-
tent be charged to the general rev.
enue. In this way the money is at
interest for the schools and the peo-
pie keep their money that will other
wise be drawn out"

Road mPKovEMENT.

The question of dirt road i'm
provement is of vital Importance,
and scarcely secondary to the rail
road question, which has perhrps
been its chief cause of neglect The
development of the great arteries of
commerce. which have displaced
much of the transportation formerly
carried on over the common roads,
does not imply, however, that the
railroads have any interest antago-
nistic to the establishment and
maintenance Of a good system of
common roads. Good dirt roads
are an advantage to the railroads,
for whatever is advantageous to the
people contiguous to line of rail-
road must incidentally result in ben
eft to the business of that railroad.
Railroads are not Indifferent to
the necessity for good roads any
more than the public at large and
should take as lively an interest in
promoting their construction. For
without good roads there is an in
terruption of the transportation of
freight caused by the bad condition
of the roads of the country an inter,
ruption which tells upon the earn
ings of the companies. Over large
portions of the most thickly settled
farming country the time when
loads-may be comfortably hauled to
the stations does not average four
whole months in any year, that at
seasons when the crops are ready to
be moved and the fertilizers should
be hauled from the stations to the
farms the roads are generally in a
state to compel taking not more
than half load, and that in the
clayey regions, including about one
half of the area of the country, bus
mess is practically stopped during
two whole months in the spring
when the frost is coming out. While |
railroads where poor common roads
prevail are losing business, others
where there are good roads have
their hands full of business; SO that, |
as will be seen, the railroads have a
real interest in the establishment
and maintenance of good common
roads. This not only illustrates the
necessity for good roads from the
standpoint of interest to railroads,
but to the whole people, and some
hing should be done to improve
he system.

THE CHILLIAN REVOLUTION.

The latest news from the Chillian
revolution is that the government is
pursuing a very energetic financial
policy in dealing with the rebels, aud
trying the influence of bribery to
bring the soldiers to its standard.
A late decree guarantees them an in
crease of 25 per cent in pay, and as
sures them handsome pensions, and
it is believed this will have the effect
of inducing a number of rebels to
desert.
Most of .he revolutions of South
America are due to the mercenacy
standing armies. The troops are
more like slaves than soldiers and
their dissatisfaction causes the po-
litical troubles. Bribing the soldiers
may succeed in winning them over,
but some future rebel, proftins by
this system of soldier bribing will
offer greater bride, and he will be
followed by Others 10 VIII the sup
port of the army, and thus it will
continue indefinitely, and there will
never be any security from a reyolu

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY ABOUT THE
REUNION.

Messrs. John 7. Harwell and Jno.
n. Farquhar, two surviving mem
bers of Green's famous brigade,
took in the reunion at Brennan
Saturday. They say they had a
splendid time; that the citizens of
BRENNAN, did things up in first
class style.-La Grange Journal.
During our stay at Brennan last
week while attending the reunion
of Green's old brigade it was our
good fortune in company with Maj.
j. NJ. Crosson, Mr.. S. D. Willard
and Mr.. T. S. Wesson to be the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. A. Hea-
ley, and to these excellent people
aud their very interesting family we
are indebted for a large share of the
pleasure we enjoyed while there, for
they threw open to us their palatial
and hospitable residence, and the
comfort of their guests seemed to
be their only care.
Mr.. Healey is q native of Ireland,
that beautiful island that has been
the birthplace of so many noble pa
triots, and which is now engaged
in a struggle for liberty. Mr. Hea-
ley is an old Texan however, mar
lied native born Texas lady of SUI
perior intelligence and refinement.
She is a most accomplished musi
clan and is gifted with superior vo
cal talent, and the splendid music
to which she treated us added no
little to the charms of the place.
They seem to have prospered in
their efforts in life and right well do
they deserve it, our short stay with
them will ever be an oasis in the
journey of life.-Austin Globe.
AS previously announced we at
tended the reunion of our old bri-
gade at Brennan last Saturday, and
met there about ninety of our old
comrades, some of whom we had
not met before since the close of
the war in 1865.
The citizens of Brennan having
invited us there to hold our annual
re union, seemed determined to
show us that they meant Just what
they said when they asked US to
come and be their guests, and they
seemed to vie with each other in
their efforts TO do honor to this bat
tie scared remnant Of this as noble
band of soldiers as ever marched
on battle field.
We were met at the depot by
committee of polite gentlemen who
assigned us and escorted US to the
houses to which we had been as
signed, and we were made the
guests of the very best citizens OF
the city.-Austin Globe.

Another question which it is necessary
to pass upon, is as to the value of the prop
erty. The question is whether the church,
without this property, held to the amount
of $4,000.
By the decree of the supreme court of
the United States, the Temple block was
set off and transferred to the trustees rep
resenting the organization.
think the evidence shows that ever
since the property was acquired that block
was worth at least $4,000, certainly it was
worth more than $50, 900 when these suits
were Instituted, and therefore they come
within the provisions of section 3 of the
law of 1862. The court holds that judg-
ment FORGETTING and escheating this prop
erty to the United States for the uses men
toned in section y should be granted.
