lur of Iiis people than E. J. Davis.
But his negro police his printing bill
Lcohunon school and martial law together
with bin general inelUeiency and bad ap
pointments have caused our people to
look upoh his administration with just
iudigmltion.
instead of trying to harmonise the
Tmederate and Union elements in Tex-
ashis object sconis to have been to an-
I tatjonfso them ; and it was this moro than
ymything ele that united all good men
jiii tho support of tho Democratic nomi-
nee Riehavd Coke and soeuml his elec
tion by an overwhelming majority.
And now after nearly two years trial
jf tho present Governor wo hear many
Kif our best citizens condemn him for his
selliBh policy in regard to tho Inlcrnn-
Jtioiml liailroad the Frontier expenses
'and his gubernatorial messages.
Very fow men now doubt but that tho
(compromise act of the lasj Legislature
which ho vetoed was a better bill than
the prcsont law which he recommended.
Few doubt but that the Frontier. ap-
propriation 'ftis more to fill the pockets
of speculators than of any practical ben-
efit to the State.
With thousands of U. S. troops on our
Frontier whero was the necessity of a
little battallion of Texas troops ?
Gen. Hamilton used to say that those
pervons who went out and settled on tho
. extreme Frontier could bo supported on
their return to the settlement much
cheaper than defended where they chose
i to go for their own pecuniary benefit.
Tho very lengthy messages of Go.
Coke we are informed have tangled him
up even on his pet nieasurclho Interna-
tiduaLKailroad compromise but as we
nover' read his" messages wo will not
speak of them but will only afllrm that1
like his speeches they always forcibly
remind us of tho following line of Lord
Byron :
4 Tho world is uuulu up of the bores aud bored.
Gov. Coke seems to think that tho ex-
cellence of an oration1 or message depends
rather on its length than upon its elo-
quence aud propriety u substance or de-
livery. irow a man of his ability as a speaker
or writer Bliotild take precedence over
bis superiors in these respects we are at
a loss to know except it may bo found
in hip. brilliant; powers as a demagogue.
That ho earnestly sought u-ud worked
hard in tho Convention which nominated
him for his own nomination is a fact
known tp but few but is beyond ques-
tion." rimi ho vetoed tlio International

The Public School System.
Tho publio school pystcm has been so
managed in Texas as to be quite a bug-
bear and burlesque. We concur with
Miij. West in the idea of cutting it down
to what the State can maiutuin. Let
'vhatovcr is doncjbo honest strhighlfoi -ward
aiid(cfilcient. By way of contribu-
ting our humble mite iu aid of tho Texas
Solons when iu convention assembled
wo suggest that the following plan bo in-
corporated into tho organic School law :
That the State do not undertake tho
whole work for even a limited time dur-
ing the year but so extend its aid as to
operate as a .stimulus to individual aud
parental effort and exertion. A certain
pro rata might bo granted for each pupil'
on condition that tho parent or guardian
should contiibute the remainder. The
aggregate remuneration should be sufii-
cient te employ competent teachers and
render the profession lespeetable. Cheap-
ness here is the highest sort of dearness
iu ilho end. " Poor preach poor pay"
is but the counterpart of " poor pay poor
teach." An important thought to which
special attention is ashed is that the
ru rala aid by the State bo not indefi
nitely prolonged or repeated on the same
pupils iu the .same primary studies. Let
there be proper supervision and reports
and solid progress be made by pupils in
order to receive continued aid. liy this
plan waste would bo avoided a well as
humbuggeiy.
The fact is that those only can be help-
ed iu anything who help themselves.
When too much help is afforded the dis-
position to bponge and relax personal ex-
ertion utterly defeats tho whole object
at Jirst contemplated. Let there bo no
room or margin for trickery or foolery.
The highest education attainable is of
the highest importance.
Mr. Nalle is making preparations for
building another three story rock store
adjoining tho new buildings now being
erected on Pecan street in front of the
passangor depot. He intends making it
fully as attractive as the other buildings.
When finished this Avill be ono of tho
most substantial blocks in tho city.
Business is steadily drifting up Pecan-
.street.Irisli potatoes are for sale on the Aven-
ue at $1.50 per barrel.
A negroe mau was found dead near the
railway track between MeDadoand Paige
a few days ago. It is supposed that he
was killed by the train.
A good place to obtain the full view of
the Avenue is from tho top of the city wa
ter tanks near the riVor.
