To tho Editor of The Post.
Houston, Texas, April 30.--It is entirely
wrong to indulge party spirit in regard tC
the school election next Saturday to suof
an extent that the issues involved can MOI
be dispasslonately discussed.
For instance, it is claimed by some Of
! Mr.. Barnetts friends that II the Shearn
ticket is elected Mr.. Barnett will be put
out. AS evidence of this 1t is pointed ouI
that the platform OF the Shoarn ticket says
nothing at all about the SUPPLEMENTARY
Is the inference fairly to be drawn from
the fact stated? think not. ] understand
| that Mr. Barnett was appointed for two
years and that his term does not expire
I'LL July, 1901 This being true. it seems
| premature for either ticket to say any
thing about the SUPPLEMENTARY. Mr..
Barnett has just taken office. Nobody
knows how well he may succeed. or how
| sadly he may fail. Another board viii be
to elect next May before his term expires.
1t seems to me entirely proper to wait
and see what Mr.. Barrett does before We
extend TO him vote of unlimited con-
iidence Such things as arbitrary super
intendents have been known. 1t is very
we'll. | think, not TO elect a board. bound
hand and foot, to Mr.. Barnett or any
other man for superintendent. The idea OF
pedging the candidate to re-elect man
year before his time is out seems TO me
entirely out OF place, We ought 10 look
to the schools first and not be trying to
arrange matters to promote the fortunes
OF one man to the neglect of everything
else.
1t seems 10 me that the real question
is whether politics shall be kept out Of
the schools, or whether Mr.. Barnett -
to be permitted 10 dictate the dismissal
OF a number of the best principals ana
teachers in the schools simply because
they did not support him Tor the super
intendency, or because they did not sup
port q particular candidate for mayor at
the recent election. A purpose TO do this,
in some way, has been openly charged
upon the present school administration,
and no authentic denial OF 1t has been
made.
Furthermore the Shearn platform speaks
out plainly IL opposition to the discharge
OF the teachers, and the Charlton Barnett
platform contains q clumsy and obvious
evasion.
I believe there is real purpose to ac-
compllsh this wrong and keep the schools
In turmoil II tho Charlton ticket should be
elected. For that reason | do not believe
It should be elected | understand that
Judge Brashear and Mr., Browne are both
standing aioof from the contest. This is
commendable in them. 1t is certainly to
be hoped that those who are opposed to
further disturbances in the schools. who
are opposed to the dismissal Of the teach
ers, Will either require clear and specific
avowal OF thoir purpose by the Charlton
ticket or support the shearn ticket Some
step ought TO be taken TO make II alb
solutely certain that purpose charged
against the Charlton ticket can not be
carried out.
The danger is to the teachers and the
schools, not 10 Mr.. Barnett Respectfully,

TEXAS FLOURIsHING.
Plenty of Grass. Good Crops and seal
Eaf CnIfle.


H. NJ. Mayo, chief OF the literary depart
msnt Of the Southern Pacific and Houston
and Texas Central, returned yesterday
from trip to West Texas, the object OF
his tour being to look into the conditions
prevailing In that section aud the aapta-
bilty of the country for farming. Mr..
Mayo was enthusiasts in his praise OF the
Western country.
The country around Uvalde, Sabinsl
and in Medina county; in fact, all West
Texas has been immensely benefited by
the heavy rains. Not in twenty years have
they had such splendid seasons. Gras
is growing finely and so is the mesquite,
which is taking on leaves instead of beans
Springs which have been dry for years are
now gushing forth. Cattle are as fat as
seals and command the top prices. The
grade is the highest, Animals worth from
$500 to $1,000 are plentiful. Durhams
and Herefords are being successfully
raised and on some ranches these breeds
are crossed, thus producing beeyes with
heavy hind as well as heavy fore quarters,
Mr. Goodleigh. whose ranch visited, sold
1000 yearlings for $40 head, Why, only
a few years ago grown steer was worth
only that sum, With such fine grass and
abundant water stockmen will not ship
their cattle to the Territory for paStur-
age. Last year the drouth in the Terri
tory was as severe as in Texas and cattle
men made no money by transferring their
stock there.
"All over the pastures there is lux
uriapt growth OF wild flowers. This ia
not only pleasing to the eye, but It means
dollars and cents to the people The cat
claw and guajilla are rich in the material
which bees use in making honey the cat
claw honey being transparent From Sab
inal alone II 10 expected that half mil
lion pounds of fine honey Will be shipped
out this SEASON
Fifty or more years ago the Medina
country was settled with a thrifty class
of Germans, three generations having
grown up there These people have finely
developed farms and own highly bred
horses and mich COWS. In all this time
they have had but two or three crop fall
ures. and this year they expect to break
all high records. Without any more rains
they could raise fine cotton crops, as the
ground is soaked TO considerable DEPTH
"A few miles north of the line Of The
Southern Pacific, just where the noun
tsins begin. il has been found that the
Apgora goat has a natural home. a section
where he thrves. The small ranchmen
are going into this industry and are bound
10 make money in the venture Mohair
is worth as much as ~ cents pound s-d
the goats sheer well.
"Of course the heavy rains have caused
considerable damage over large area
of country, but when We consider the
much greater. area which has heen eene
