This is a very interesting sltuaClou
indeed! The State superintendent OF
education. and his chief clerk have
little alliance among themselves, and
journal is issued by the latter, OF which
the former edits a department. We do
not know whether the superintendent
of education is "silent partner in the
enterprise or not, or whether he is TO
receive compensation for editing his de-
partment or not. That is side issue.
We do know ths an attempt is being
made to make one department OF the
State government at once a public
office and private 'trust"-to take
the money of the people and put it into
the pocket of an oficeholder-to MAKE
the taxes of the counties support Mr.
Thackston's journal.
The declaration that the State board
of trustees has passed resolution au-
thorizing this provision of the PUBIC
funds does not come directly, it VIII oe
seen, from Mr.. Thackston. He puts itin
the mouths of the county school COM
missioners. If it be true, the board has
done an act which it will find very
hard to Justify. If it is true, there Is
deception as we'll as jobbery.
But no matter how it stands, this
affair is scandalous. It compels the
taking of three copies Of the Pal
metto School Journal in every school
district of the State at the expense OF
the tax payers, and the money goes
into pockets of Mr.. ThacEston indivi-
dualfy, or Mr.. Thackston and his
| hackers. It is estimated that the SUM
thus proposed to be drawn from the
county treasures will amount to from
5000 to $1,000 annually. ..

THE RESULT OF IT.

THE GAZETTE'S scholarship IS ended
and twenty-five girls are to-day study
ing at Hardin college. Surely the pa
per can express its qualification and its
happiness over the result without criti-
cism. The work accomplished is =
great one-a beneficent one. Probably
Of these twenty-five Texas girls, not
more than five or six would ever have
gone TO college, but for the contest be-

not sixty days ago. Under the impulse
of the movement inaugurated by THE
GAZETTE, doubling parents decided
they were able to send their girls to
school, and under the same impulse
generous men and women lent their aid
to educate bright girls unable TO edu-
cate themselves, and ii is not too much
to claim that BY the combined efforts of
Hardin college, the people and THE
| GAZETTE, not less than twenty Texas
girls will receive what otherwise they
could not have received.
These girls will come back to Texas,
and. as daughters. sisters, friends and
companions, their influence will be
strengthened. and, as wives and moth
ers. that influence will be extended
through all time and from time TO
eternity Who shall compute it or
measure lis benef1cence? Who shall
do this save Him that governeth time
| and ruleth in eternity? THE GAZETTE
IS proud of its work, because that work
has been for the good OF the state; THE
GAZETTE has been made happy by its
work because that work gladdened the
hearts of ambitious Texas girls, and
placed within their reach the coveted
education. THE GAZETTE is happy in
the happiness OF the dear girls, the
pure-hearted, bright-minded girls OF
Texas; and, in the happiness conferred,
this paper finds reward for all the work
and all the worry, and receives COM
pensation for all that envy or ieal-
ousy may do or say. The GAzETTE'S
great happiness is in the knowledge
that in the hearts of twenty-five limo

gratitude that will never die.

Editor Gazette:
Your position on the alien land law may
meet the approval CT some farmers, but

the second sober thought Of the great
agricultural interests Of Texas il may De,
as YOU argue. that the law will drive from

may be that there viii be failures aud
Tumors of failures on account OF 1the with

is il not better 10 suffer the Inconvenience
arising fgcm the withdrawal of $50 900, 600

Now, Mr. Editor, am only plain farmer
and can sec only plain arguments on matters
Of this kind. but will YOU Just take the time
to illuminate with your luminous luminosity
a subject much bC-cloudcd by the avariCe Of
some and the ignorance Of others? Is it not
a fact that foreign landowners have always
proved hard landlords as evidenced by the
conduct Of the three EngiiShmeu who
owned real estate in Ilinois2 Why, let
them withdraw their money. That is what
they ought to do, or else come here and live
in this land Of the free" Isn't there
enough money inside our vast territorial
limits to carry on every legitimate business
enterprise. Would England permit an
American syndicate to take a mortgage
on Hyde park, or let Frenchnen
control the Bank Of England. These
are, as l take it, pertinent questions
and entitled to consideration. But in some
way that no man is able TO account for, the
whole press Of Texas, or at least every in
fuential paper, is giving its serious efforts
10 opposing this law passed in the interest
OF the owners of the soil. Possibly there
may be something in the statement made to
me by friend a few days ago He said:
why, don't you know that the papers Will
support the money lender against the
farmer Why? Because the money-lenders
are liberal advertisers and the farmers are

some hours. and ] am inclined to think
there is something in il.
Now, GAZETTE, you boast Of YOUR semper
idem. and /. in common with thousands of
other farmers in Texas, have always be-
lieved your protestations of devotion to the
agricultural interests were genuine. But
now, just Use 10 the emergency Of the hour
and tell the people whether you really be
gevc that the allen land law is bad. when

\ PURELY PRIVATE TRANSACTION.

= =
Money that is borrowed for definite
term OF years must be paid back at the
expiration Of that time, or it becomes
perpetual debt.
This appears 10 be the basis of the
argument advanced by Mr.. c. &. Col
son in TIE GAZETTE to-day, who asks:
is it not better to suffer the incon
vcnience arising from the withdrawal
Of $50, coo, 900 rather than perpetuate
debt OF this kind"
When a borrower takes money from

compel him TO ask for an extension OF
time from the creditor. 1t is . com
pliment TO the humanity OF the creditor,
and to the solvency and integrity OF the
debtor. to know that this request for
an extension OF renewal OF the loan is
hardly ever refused. But this extern
sion of time does not ''perpetuate" the
debt. 1t only gives the borrower
chance TO pay it. There are few, in
decd, among the debtor class of Texas
who cannot pay the mortgages on their
lands in five years. Extension is not
perpetuation. 1t is a step toward eX-
tinguishment OF the debt.
The lean is private affair in WHICH
only the lender and the borrower are
concerned. II one asks for a few years
more in which to earn enough to pay
the loan, and the other is willing TO
grant this request, what business is it
Of any othei, person to prevent this ar
rangement?
There has never been anything done
in the history of Texas legislation that
is more wantonly cruel and brutally
selfish than the enactment of this law
that compels q creditor to sell out an
unfortunate debtor. There has never
been law enacted anywhere that OPP
Grated more directly in favor OF land
sharks. And there has never been dis
played anywhere an effrontery that
equals that OF the claim thai this law Is
for the welfare of the people of Texas.

Editor Gazette.
want to call your attention TO a circum-
stance that occurred on the 30th inst, COM
ing over the Fort Worth and Denver. That
day yesterday the coaches We're crowded
with passengers, and there were some who
were compelled to stand up or take seats in
the end boxed Off for negroes. They ac-
Cepted the latter alternative, and ] guess
were glad to rest their weary limbs in the
end set arart for the negroes.
There were only two of the ''cullud race
in the reservation, myself and another
woman. These men did not interfere with
us We could not have been treated any
better among men of our own race. They
said nothing TO US and we said nothing to
them, which is always desirable among
strange men and women but the law on the
subject:
l believe the law in Texas says that the
white people shall De separated from the
negroes by a wooden partition. When the
bill was up before the legislature. some
man, don't know who he was, said that
one niger among coach of white people
was obnoxious.
After the bill had become law negro
could not get on a train in the state OF
Texas without hearing great long diSser-
tatiou upon the subject. The whites were
shouting for the Enforcement of the law
At length the long-looked-for day arrived
and the law went into force-the superior
race got their white elephant. Now, we
negroes want to see them enjoy 1t. We are
satisfied and don't want them in our pen.
The law has set it apart for our especial
use and we don't want them among US
they; like the man said, are obnoxious to
US.
What is the use OF law if it is not to be
enforcedl We have eight seats set apart
for our use, and we want those eight seats
If there is but one negro on car, let him
enjoy those seats. The law gave them to
him, and let him have the benefit of the

Had been a man should have demanded
of the care-harassed conductor that he
should remove them from the apartment,
but, being a woman. l did not want 20 act
so discourteous towards those men, for
they, guess, had paid for their tickets ana
were entitled TO 4 seat somewhere, but not
in there among the negroes. We didn't
make the law-the white people of Texas
made it, and we want that they should en-

GLASS LEGISLATION.

w. c. p. Breckenridge. the silver
tongued congressman from the old
Ashland district Of Kentucky, opened
the campaign in Iowa the other day III
mastery effort that was largely an
analysis OF the powers OF government,
and an arraignment Of the Republican
party for its manifold and gross
abuses of those powers. He showed
! that the genius OF Repubiicanism tended
through paternalism to the building up
OF classes. while that party was in
power the classes ruled, ana pointed 10
their wealth and prosperity as proof
that the country was prosperous and
the people happy. But the people are
not happy, nor are they prosperous.
They produce the greatest crops in the
world, ard have yearly several hun
drcd million dollars worth OF surplus to
sell abroad, and Yet they are almost
As Discontinued Today as the pauper

They We're told 4 quarter OF a cen
fury ago that if they would sustain the
nigh tariff q few years, they would
have home market that would con-
sumo all they could raise, paving high
prices for il, and they believed the pro-
teciionists imPostors. They now find
that the percentage Of surplus of agri-
cultural products IS greater than it was
when the home market fraud was first
preached. and that they are more de-
pendent than ever on foreigners TO buy
their surplus. They were told that
protection would increase the price OF
their products, and they believed the
lie. Even to-day that lie IS believed by
some Of them, although the whole
world knows that the value OF the sur
plus fixes the value Of the entire pro-
duct. Pile tariffs mountain high ON
corn. wheat. rye. barley. cotton or pro-
visions, and the price Of these things at
London. less the freight on them. is the
price at Chicago. The tariff can add
no more to the price of a bUshei OF
wheat than it can add cl,bit to a
mans stature. But the tariff on manu-
lactures. the things FOR watch Ameri-

and consequently the Argentine Re
public that produced only wool a few
years ago, now sends cargocs OF wheat

it. He insisted that Argentine should

countries that imposed no tariff on it.
Had Uncle sam encouraged her wool
raising, a business for which she was
peculiarly adapted, she would not now
be competitor with the American
farmer.
And the remedy for the evils OF the
tariff is not reversal of the policy that
produced them, but the sub-treasury
