These are the great practical
training schools of the south.
Schools that all Texas look up-
on with pride. The course of
study is in touch with the liv
ing demands of the age. They
prepare young men and women
for the active dutieB of life,
giving them training in those
things that make them inde-
pendent and self-sustaining.
The ourioulum, embraces
thorough and practical course
in business training, Shorthand
and Typewriting, Telegraphy
and English. The methods are
thorough,equipments complete
and with an investment of only
$80.00 for board, tuition and
stationery, a young gentleman
or lady can secure an education
that will be of lifetime benefit.
It is estimated that over 700
pupils will attend these popu
lar sohools this year. Look to
your interest, and write for
their beautifully illustrated

Groat Prosperity (?)
The old party papers have a
great deal to say about the
wonderful prosperity existing
in the United States. Some
classes prosper, as the follow-
ing shows:
There are 30,000 millionaires
in the United States.
There are 1000 millionaires in
New York.
Seventy persons in the Unit-
ed States are worth $2,700,000-
000.
Thirty-one thousand people
own over half the wealth of the
country.
One hundred persons in the
United States own $3,000,000,-
000 of wealth.
Look at that picture of peace
and prosperity, reader, aud
when you have fully realized
its Import kindly look at this :
There are 1,000,000 people
out of work in the United
States.
There are over 500,000
tramps.
Ten thousand ohildren die
annually in the United Slates
from insufficient food or cloth-
ing.
There were 57,000 homeless
ohildren in the United States
in 1880.
Out of 2,000,000 who inhabit
New York City only 13,000
own homes.
The last census shows 9,000,-
000 mortgages in the United
States, or one to every seventh
inhabitant.
In New York 40,000 working
women are so poorly paid that
they must accept oharity, sell
their bodies or starve.
Duu's report for 1801 shows
the failures for the year to be
1366 more than in 1890, being
12,273, with liabilities amount-
ing to $J 89,000,000. Verily this
is prosperity.

Don't fail to hear Mr. Coleman ; he is, undoubtedly,
one of the best advocates of the PEOPLE'S PARTY
in Texas.
He is a polished gentleman and orator of the purest
quality, who never fails to interest his hearers, no
matter of what political faith.
In a letter from Col. H. L. Bentley, to the Democrat, the following indorsement appears :
"In my opinion R. W. Coleman is one of the best speakers and one of the most promising men
of his age, in this or any other State. I wish we had a hundred men like him to do battle for
the cause in Texas."
Remember the above dates and encourage your neighbors
and friends to attend. Ladies have a speoial invitation to be

RACE~TKACKS~MUST GO
According to the Uev. Thomas
Dixon—Worse than tho
Lottery,
New Yokk, Oct. 2.—Before
his regular sermon of the day
the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr.,
delivered another of his char-
acteristic talks. To day his
subject was the Garfield race
track of which he said in part:
Garfield park In Cbl:ago has
for years openly defied the
moral sentiment of the nation.
It has been an open slaughter
pen in which manhood, truth,
decency and virtue were daily
butchered. It was the favorite
resort of the most desperate
classes of the scum of the world.
The people of Chicago were re
cently shocked at the foul mnr
der of two policemen by a des
perate gambler on those
grounds and if the policc of
Chicago tolerate suoh a hell
hole in their midst with the
blood of the officers of the law,
they should take down their
statute in Ha; market square
and coufess that civic order has
failed after all. Garfield
track is typical of the race
track of to-day. The whole
dirty business is of the same
piece. The conscience of this
nation has outgrown the race
track. It must go as the lottery
has gone. The plain fact is
that the lottery is a small evil
compared with the races.

Money han no Intrinsic Value
Attorney-General Akeruian,
in speaking of the legal tender
act, said:
"We repeat money is not a
substance, but an impression of
legal authority—a printed le-
gal decree."
"The theory of tbe intrinsic
v.ilue of mouey has been aban-
doned by the best writers and
speakers."—Encyclopedia Bri
tannica.

North American Review.
Metallic money, while acting
as coin, is identical with pa-
per money, in reelect to Win*
An article is determined to
be money by reason of the per-
formance by it of certain func-
tions, without regard to its form
or substance.—Appleton's Am-
erican Encyclopedia.
Metallic money, whilst act-
ing as money, is identical with
paper money, in respect to be-
ing destitute of value. Coin,
so long as it circulates for the
purpose of buying and selling,
loses its intrinsic value. Ae
commodities, gold and silver
are capital, but as money they
are mere representatives of
value. — Charles Moran of
France,
It is the legal tender stamp
that makes inoqey, not the ma-
terial.

Date Fixed for the Sale of the
Bast Line.
Austin, Tex-, Oct. 3.—The
first matter of any moment in
Judge Cochran's court was the
petition of the bondholders for
an order of sale of tbe East
Line and Red River railway.
The order was granted and the
sale fixed for the 24th of next
January and also an order was
entered confirming the action
of the receiver in widening the
road and providing rolling
stock under a contract author-
ized by Judge Key. The order
authorizes the receiver to isnue
certificates for $400,000 to pay
the contractor for widening the
guage and providing the stand-
ard guage rolling stock. These
certificates £nd about $100,000
of floating debt which has ac-
crued mainly under Cross and
Eddy, receivers, are in the or
dwr given prior lien to the
bondholders. This ends up the
East Line receivership next
January and leaves the road
with an additional 6 per cent
debt of $400,000 which 1b repre
sen ted by the widened track
aud additional rolling stock.
Receiver Giles has run the road
on a cash basis.
