THE
SCHOOL QUESTION IN THE
LEGISLATURE.
The house of representatives at
Austin consumed most of tho day
yesterday in discussing the pnblio
frco schoot question. The special or-
der was the joiut resolution propos-
ing to amend section 3 of artiole 7 of
the constitution. Th6 nmondment
proposed "provides for an annual ad
valorem tax of not more than 25
cents on the one hundred dollars; a
poll tax of ope dollar and, one
fourth of the revenue from occupa-
tion taxes to bo set aside for the ben-
eflt of free schools; also empowering
tho legislature to torm the state into
convenient school districts, with su-
perintendents of districts, said dis-
tricts having tho power by a two-
thirds voto of the people to supple-
ment the stato tax by a special tax
not to exceed 25 cents on the one
hundred dollai-s." This bill is a sub-
stitute for the bill reported by tho
oommittco, and is a compromise be-
tween tho conflicting bills on tho
subject. A number of gentlemen
participated in tho discussion, and a
amendments were voted

It is not likely that this congress
will pass another river and harbor
bill. The house commerco commit-
tee has not decided what course to
pursuo with tho bill, and as but
thirteen working days remain to the
session, it is hardly probable any
action will bo taken. The tariff has
tho preference and will no doubt
consume tho time.
