sLoPING VS.. UPRIGHT.
Our Public School Superintendent
Learning a New Way of Writing.

Superintendent Smith, of the city pub
lie schools, is just now engaged in the
study of the question Upright versus
SIoping writing, for the public schools.
For some time past Prof Smith has
had his attention directed to this subject.
He was taught in his youth, as all others
have generally been taught, that the
Spencerian slope was really the only way
TO write. But he has noticed of late
years how, after writing at his desk for
some hours, with head cooked sidewise
and one shoulder higher than the other,
that he gets ''crick" in his neck and his
shoulders also become tired.
In the recent school examinations in the
II Ugh school he paid particular attention
TO the positions assumed by all the appli-
cants undergoing examination, and as he
says, it was a revelation Of awkwardness.
Recently he has been put in posses
sion of a splendid little work on the
subject of upright penmanship and has
begun to practice the upright style.
The result have been marvellous, he
says. He finds he can put more words in
line, write more legibly, with better
position before his desk and less fatigue
to eye, hand, arm aud shoulder. He has
not yet decided on the relative merits OF
the new over the old style, but is very
much influenced in favor OF the perpen-
dicular. He does not, as yet, know
whether ne will introduced into the pub
lie schools.

Did Not Furnish Brains.
To the San Antonio LIGHT:

To the San Antonio LIGHT:
notice in your issue of yesterday, in
the column OF Short Snappers, the follow
ing sentence appears among some things
you have said of me complimentary:
''Easton has been credited with furnish
ing brains for Quincy" ! desire to say l
have not furnished Quincy with brains.
Since "a it has been my pleasure to be a
recognized follower of his. His long SER
vice in public life, his eminent ability and
Republicanism, it has always been
pleasure for me to give testimony. Aside
from this, Quincy has furnished his own
brains aud a good deal of the brains of
the regular party, in this state, is my
humble opinion. Very respectfully,
w. Z. EAsTON.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-09-01

he has made himself the centre of
the party. The question merely
is: who will forcibly improve the
handful of white delegates through
or by the negros in his tow. AS
long as Quincy has an opponent
in his own black camp like the
covetous and ambitious Ferguson,
the Republican state convention
will be the scene of the dual COM
bat.
Quincy again represents the Re-
publican party of Texas!

! think the county and district ticket
published in the LIGHT of the 3O'h is one
of the best that can be put up, headed as
it is by that grand old man, Judge Noon
an. r. b. Minor, too, for district judge,
is good selection; he is a good lawyer,
we'll read scholar, and is not mixed up in
political trades. The names OF Callaghan,
UmschPid, De Witt, Campbell, and Poor
lend the ticket great strength, but l
ticket is that of c. S. Robinson, for dis
trict attorney; he is a Democrat under
stand, but he is good lawyer, an honest
man, and there's no prohibition about
him either, and | think he would lend
great aid to any ticket he may be on, for
who in BeXar county don't know Glenn
Robinson? Altogether Mr.. Editor, don't
think better ticket could be gotten up.

Republican Prospects in the 18th

Freie Presse, Aug. 81.
There is great enthusiasm in
this congressional district for the
Republican candidate Judge Geo.
H. Noonan. 1t is not at all out of
place to remind the people that
enthusiasm alone does not elect
candidate. Hard work is needed to
insure success. Nothing is more
dangerous than to feel the assur-
ance of winning, or to underrate
the opponent; therefore we would
warn in time.

1.-THE FAIR
Wagner & ChabOt.l

The Republican State Convention.
Translated from Freie Presse Fuer Texas
August 3lSt.
The Republican convention
which convened at Dallas on the
2Sth and 10Th of August was a repe-
tition of the shameful demonstra-
ton like they have been finished
by these conventions for the last
fifteen years.
OF the delegates present fully
two-thirds were negroes and short
one-third were white. In this con-
vention the question of power be-
tween the two colored members,
Wright NJ. Quincy, Of Galveston,
and G. NJ. Ferguson, of Paris, La
mar county, was established. In
addition to which the superfluous
amusement was INDUCED in to put
up State ticket. The white dele
gates grouped themselves around
these two chiefs, Qiteral: "game
cocks") according to their incllna-
ton, with the only difference that
Quincy worked for himself, while
Ferguson worked under the cover
of Mr.. Moore, the chairman of the
executive committee. Was Quincy
to rule or shall the Ferguson clique
to continue to hold the upper hand?
This was the parole Of the cOnven-
ton. Quincy was victorious and
those white delegates who have
taken his part are safe in case they
may be inspired with political as
piratiOns. And who among them
has not even now an eye for some
office?
The blacks are the leaders, Otter
al: tone givers), of the Republican
party, and those who act in it run
with them, will no doubt feel well
in their selected company. OF
course a convention only comes of
every two years but the few days
are very trying and it takes strong
nerves to survive them.
1t is strange that at election the
so-called Republican counties, with
a large negro population never
show up, they vote for everything
possible, as is shown by we'll com
puted statistics of Mr.. Nc
Gregor, of Houston, except fol
the Republican ticket; but il
the state conventions the "cOloreC
gentlemen" are always strOngl!
represented; at these OCCASION
they hold the lease on the who'll
Republican party.
AS long as a small number o
whites are found who will join il
the conglomeration, the negroe
can not be blamed when the,
make their power felt and direc
the convention. Quincy can not b.
censured in downing every on
who comes in his way.
Though Web Flanagan declares
when he took the permanent chat
that it was time for the everlasting
Quincy and Ferguson cry to cease
it was Chas. Ferguson on one sid
and Wright Quincy on the Other
He was tired and the white Re
publicans had enough of it. H
hoped that the Quincy and ant
Quincy talk had come to an end.
In this Mr.. Flanagan made
mistake and he knows very we
that Quincy will never rest unit

Driving windmills by Electricity.

A novel departure has been taken
by the owner of windmill at Bre.
men, Germany. Hitherto it has
been the custom to use windmills
in conjunction with dynamos for
the generation of electricity, more
especially for lighting purposes, in
places remote from regular sup
ply of current, and some most sue
cessful installations of this kind
have been made. The owner Of the
German windmill proposes to re-
verse this process, and instead of
making his windmill drive dyna-
mo, he will use an electro motor,
connected with the town electric
mains, for driving his machinery
when calm prevails.
