There was some discussion Over
the report, and Alderman Sutherland
I'ta td that It appeared to him that j nterclal club
the sentence "as low or lower" was
somewhat Indefinito. Alderman U>

Caller was the best bid for the reason
that It was the first-class paper ol the
owners

showed that the connection was de-
sired by the business Interests of the
city and also by many of the Black

was supplemented with a report

was suggeeted by Alderman Downey
thai the city secure a large wagon
ami make a trip over the city overv
Saturday and gather up all this trush.
During the general iltseussloii
which followed Alderman Sutherland
staled that while discussing the mill
for of hauling away the truah thet I.
would be well to discuss the protio-
sitiori of disposing of it, that the c'h-
was now paying for hnvlng the dump-
ing ground cleaned up and that people
were hauling the stuff and 'lumping
it there as fast as it was cleaned >,l-
liennnn Uncnsklold stated Rlat ;he
council was penny wise nml pou-id
foolish, that to hi mini! th ,'roj;pr
thing to do would be to purchate a
dumping ground, that the citv did not
tern that about the best way he knew
of to dispel a mob was to make the
announcement that an educational ad-
dress was nbQUt to be delivered, The
announcement would cause the people
to fade away.
Prof. Cousins spoke In favor of the
proposed amendment to the constitu-
tion. which li enacted will give the
people the privilege of voting a tax
of fifty cents on the $H10 valuation,
or in other words, allowing the peo-
ple or the State to Increase the tax
from twenty to fifty cents, us tlxed by
the state conslIlutIon and il requiren
a two-thirds vole to carry an election
for that lux. The amendment if ad-
opted will allow the majority to rule.
Prof, Cousins then spoke of the pay
that the teacher are recelvtng~$250
per year. The state convict guards
receive an average of $800, and their
board. The teacher must pay his own
board. The convict guard has charge
of but eight men. The teacher has
charge of and control* the dnatiny of
fifty boys and girl on an average.

Prof. Cousin's address Wu« a strong
appeal to the intelligence of the peo*

Importance of educational matters.
Prof. Cousins arrived in th# city
yesterday morning and delivered an
address to tho students attending the
summer Normal at the High School
building. It was the first normal he
has visited this year. Ho is now mak-
ing his campaign for re-election.
He was Introduced at the meeting
last night by Prof. Menger of the Cor-
pus Christi schools, who prefaced his
Introduction by saying that Prof, Cou-
sins had done more for the schools
of the stale than any superintendent
that ever filled the ofilcn and that If
he were re-elected he would accom-
plish more. In following him Prof.
Cousins stated tlmt he wan sure to be
the superintendent for two more years
flint there was no doubt In his mind
as to that. He did not mince words
when he began speaking to tho ques-
tion he came here to discuss and did
not pa* out any compliments calcu-
lated to capture a vote, but simply
told the people that Texas was lagging
behind, and he chlded the people for
allowing it.
