THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
This will probably be one of the is
sues before the incoming legislature
and before its adoption the system
ought to be fully considered both as to
its intrinsic merits and whether the
necessities of Texas demand it at this
time.
The object is fair honest elections
nd the purification of the ballot from
the baneful influence of the bribe
giver. Does political corruption- the
barter and sale of votes as in the
Northern states in the last prcsiden-
' tial election exist at all or to such an
extent as to require a change in our
manner of voting? Docs a disease in
reality exist which calls fur a remedy
in this State? That is the question
It is one for the legislature to answer;
one which we shall not attempt either
to affirm or deny.
But as a general thing outside of
the larger towns it is not believed
vote-buying has been practiced or
even thought of however much may
have been exerted the influence of
employer over the employe a8 in other
states and countries. In the cities
there has been some suspicion of
harp practice by unscrupulous can
didates or their friends but the
proof has seldom been adduced
and we cannot but believe in the
honesty of the Texas voter as well as
the honor of the Texas candidate as
- a general proposition. But if we are
to build up large manufacturing towns
in our state as seems likely these con
ditions may change and different
necessities arise.
I he six salient features of the us-
tralian system are thus summed up
by Mr. Allen a recent writer in the
Arena :
1st. The printing of the ballot at
the public'expense.
2d. The control of the printed bal-
lots by public officials.
3d. The filing of nominations with
the secretary of state.
4th. The right of nominations in-
dependent of party.
5 th The privacy of the voter while
preparing his ballot.
Cth. The secrecy of the ballot.
It will be observed that the
efficacy of the system in
preventing bribery is based
on the theory that the candidate will
not risk buying the voter when he can
never know how he voted. On the
contrary it has been contended that
as there is honor among thieves the
man who can be trusted to take a
bribe can be depended on to carry out
the contract. The system however
will break one practico that of march-
ing up voters like Hocks of sheep to the
polls to bo voted by order of the can-
didate as has been done the world
over wherever public elections are
held
Si
THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
While the subject is up and speak
ing in the interest of nearly 1000 un
fortunates now in the asylums at this
place and at Terrell the principle is an
excellent one justified and established
by experience that the superin
tendentsof insane hospitals ought to
be men who have made a lifetime bus-
iness and profession of that brauch of
medicine. Such a man is Dr. Wallace
of the Terrell asylum anil the removal
of such an officer would work injury
to the institution and its inmates and
in no wise be carrying out the objects
of the people of Texas in establishing
and maintaining the asylums. Dr
Wallace has a long experience in the
treatment of the insane. He
is of the proper temperament
for such a position and to change him
would be in the nature of politics which
should have nothing to do with such
appointments. Daniel's Medical
Journal for December which repre-
sents the profession in Texas takes a
similar view in reference to changes
in the superintendency of asylums
and asserts that Governor-elect Hogg
isn't the kind of man to sacrifice the
welfare of hundreds of unfortunate
men and women to a spirit of spoils
Neither do we believe General Hogg is
any such a man.
The physicians report 3000 cases of
grip in New Orleans and the largest
mortality the city has had since the
great yellow fever epidemic 12 years
ago. Everybody thought la grippe
had gone to stay.
Everybody should lend a helping
hand and aid the advertising committee.
DIVIDE WITH THE POOR.
Amid all the joys of Christmas
time there is a lurking sadness most
pathetic. It is the sadness of the poor
of the mothers and fathers of the mon-
eyless class who can noi shower upon
the loved ones at their homes the
gifts the tokens of joy they see glad-
dening the little ones in the dwellings
of the rich. How touching it is to Fee
the poor laboring man select the
cheapest toy while his eyes longingly
feast on a better gift for his child.
This is the bitter in the world's
Christmas sweet. And while this re-
mains true what a field of sympathetic
friendship have the rich for the poor!
How they by a little thoughtful care
can at little trouble and expense make
glad the humble homes of the land !
Charity is a human a Christian duty ;
but how that duty can be turned in-
to an exquisite pleasure at Christmas
t mes! If it is always "more blessed
to give than receive" how that inspir
ed utterance grows in significance and
beauty at this time when the whole
world is exchanging gifts and when
the gift from which no return is ex-
pected is the roost precious offering
Austin has her full share of the poor
and on this the eve of a world's rejoic
ing could not the rich of our city with
solicitous care think upon those whom
they can make glad with an exceeding
great joy? All Austin must be happy
tomorrow.
The advertising committee on all
sides receive words of encouragement
and god-speed in their work. But
gentlemen you who want to see Aus-
tin grow and prosper you must re-
member it is money that talks. There
is no begging way to a city's success.
It is grit whole-souled generous re-
sponse to your city's calls upon you
it is co-operative effort that wins. Tut
your shoulders behind the advertising
committee and give them a good
strong lift.
The capture of the Indian Messiah
yesterday near Pino Ridge may do
as much toward ending the Indian
troubles as the death f Sitting Bull.
The Messiah was found to be a harm-
less crank named A. C. Hopkins
from Nashua la. More naturally he
would have como fiom Massachusetts.
The fellow does not seem to have
brain enough to make him a danger-
ous imposter and no doubt the more
intelligent Indians believe him a poor
crazy fool as they told him yesterday
at lied Cloud's camp. Hopkins' blas
phemy can only be the result of in
sanity and he ought to go to an
asylum.
TO ADVERTISE AUSTIN.
Sonnil Argument Mailo anil Money Helped
the Talk.
Last night at the parlors of the
Driskill Hotel some fifty of Austin's
business men upon the invitation of
the Advertising committee met them
to discuss Austin's future. Dr. J. J.
Tobin chairman of the executive
committee called the meeting to
order and made a clear statement
of the condition of the affairs
of the committee showing the
absolute necessity for the citizeus
of Austin to double the pretent
advertising lurid. Mr. Clarence
Miller secretary of the committee
read the report of action and plans
tne committee bad adopted for their
work which was most exhaustive and
busiuesslike. Next State Treasurer W.
13. Worthani was then called upon and
made a ringing talk. He had been
all over Texas in the last six months
and lie knew Austin was considered a
dead town. It was our duty to wake
up and assert ourselves as our advan
tages dictated. We must send the news
of our advantages out over all Texas
aud the United States through the
newspapers. He believed in Austiu
i ii i . . .
nuu wouiu cio an in ins power
lor ner. lie had but 1 ttle time
at his disposal but he would double
or treble his subscription to the ad'
vertising fund.
Mayor McDonald was called upon
and made a humorous and eood t il k
What he thought was the matter was
that we were not enough enthused
over ourselves.' We did not praise
ourselves but rather the reverse. We
must fall in love with each other and
get to boasting of our resources. He
was daily in receipt of inquiries about
Austin and he complained of having
no printed matter to send out in
answer.
Mr. T. C. Taylor made a short talk
and then the meeting got
down to business after a speech
by Mr. Howard. There was a
great deal of enthusiasm and good
was accomplished. About $350 a
month for the next six months were
raised. Mr. Lebold made a stirring
speecn snowing now advertising and
pluck had in eleven years time made
a great city of Kansas City. The
meeting then adjourned to next Mon-
day night at the Board of Trade hall.
The work has only just commenced
and Austin is determined to win.

Notes on the Cotton Market -Farmers' In
Ht it u ten and Other Matters.
This column is edited by Mr. John O.
Edirarol Duval to wnon. an communica
tions should be addressed. 1
The Cotton Market.
Contrary to the expectations of
thousands of farmers and many ex
perienced cotton factors the price of
the staple has steadily decreased since
the commencement o the season. At
that time it was believed that the crop
would be shoi t over the whole cotton
belt and it was therefore infei red that
the high opening figures would be
maintained or enhanced. This caused
many to hold their cotton when mid
dling dropped to 9 cents believing it
would soon climb up to 10. I was one
of the deluded ones. But prices went
down stayed down ; and there is no
immediate prospect of a rise in the
face of official and other reports which
show the amount of bales already
marketed nearly 1200 in excess of last
year and estimate the total crop at
nearly 8000.000 bales.
How far these reports and estimates
are to be believed I cannot say but I
strongly suspect they are not pub-
lished in the farmer's interest. We
have made a fair average crop in this
section but in many parts of Texas
the yield was very short and even the
acknowledged increased acreage would
not swell the total of the
state beyond last year while in
other portions of the Cotton
Belt the yield is far below an average
Subjoined will be found a letter
from a correspondent in Tennessee.
He is a practical farmer and in a po
sition to know whereof he speaks
Those who have held their cotton thus
far cannot suffer bj still holding as
those who have bought on speculation
must soon begin to unload aud the
actual proportions of the crop become
known. When this happens it will
be found that the present big esti
mates are far beyond the mark. At
least that has teen the case in times
past and history will not fail to repeat
itself.
Brunswick Tenn.Dec. 20.
To the A gricultural Editor of The States
man:
Snt The cotton crop in Tennessee
is not as yet entirely harvested but
enough has been learned to show us
that we are far short and all with
whom I have talked have been terri
bly fooled and surprised at the short
age. The most careful observers were
fooled and we amongst them. All
concede that such a year for farming
they have never passed through. I
should judge the shortage in our
section to be 35 to 50 per cent in
cotton ; corn 50 and wheat 60 to 70.
Luckily the meat crop is tolerably
good. Hogs were plentiful and there
was considerable mast to give them a
share and what little corn could be
allowed them put them in very good
condition aud those who heve killed
have had favorable weather for sav-
ing it.
To sum up I will say ttat with
plenty of meat some corn some cot-
ton a moderate sprinkle of potatoes
turnips etc. I think the Shelby county
farmer will pull through.
They will make a greater effort next
season. More fall plowing has been
done than ever before anil they all
seem to realize the fact that they must
do better work and more of it to get
along well. H. G. TiionAuim.
The Texas farmer like his brother in
every other part of the world is apt to
grumble without cause and magnify
his troubles. When there has been a
prolonged spell of dry weather or an
excessive rainfall both of which con-
ditions sometimes prevail he forgets
for a time the blessings that surround
bin and like the Israelite of old re-
members only "the flesh pots of
Egypt." He does not know or know-
ing forgets that since the time that
"Adam delved ard Eve spun" in Eden
there has been no country perfect
for horticultural pursuits and
that Texas comes nearer fill'
ing the bill than any other
spot on this terrestrial sphere. This
may appear to be a bold assertion but
it is no assumption. It is capable of
demonstration.
There is no other state or country
on earth where such a diversity of
crops can be raised so successfully and
with so little labor and risk from in-
sect pests and climatic influences.
In some part or other of Texas any-
thing that springs from the earth
necessary to the wants and comfort of
man can be grown to perfection from
the wheat and oats of extreme north-
ern latitudes to the tropical orange
and bananna.
The fact is the natural richness of
our soil and genial temperature make
farming so easy that men trust too
much in the goodness of the Lord and
too little in their own efforts.
An old fashioned book tells us that
if a man has faith even to the extent
of a grain of mustard seed he can re
move mountains.
That may do very well for moun
tains but when it comes to killing
weeds and crab grass to say nothing j
of "Johnson" faith must be stoutly

and thoughtlessness than conviction
tor the most superficial observation
must have shown them that early and
deep plowing gives the best results
every time.
It should be a standing rule to have
all corn -land plowed before Christmas
and if possible a month before.
Nearly every progressive fanner lie-
tween my place and Austin a dis-
tance of ten miles has his corn and
much of his cotton land
turned over now and can with a clear
conscience lay off a week and recre-
ate during the festive season. This is
the rule in this section and if any
crops are made in the county this dis-
trict always has its full share. Those
who do not practice this system would
do well to try it. It is too late now to
do anything before Christmas but
the wise man will kppn liia nlntua run

FARMERS' INSTITUTES.
It is now scarcely two years since
the public spirited publishers of the
Texas Farm and Ranch inaugurated
a system of farmers' institutes for
Texas in the city of Austin.
Many of my readers well remember
that institute and the interesting and
instructive programme then carried
out.
Since that time institutes have been
organized in nearly every agricultural
county in the state and have been at
tended by success and Crowds of farm
ers and their fair wives and daugh-
ters. Indeed these institutes have
come . to be looked upon as in-
stitutions essential to the development
or agriculture and that is just what
they are. Experience has proven that
personal contact and oral statements
leave more vivid and lasting impres-
sions of men and their thoughts
than the ablest written and printed
matter. X hat is why a farmer gets
more benefit from' an institute than
from reading his agricultural paper.
He has this further advantage if state
ments are made he does not under
stand he can "talk back" or ask for
more light.
In many other states farmers insti
tutes are maintained at government
expense and recognized as indis-
pensible state agencies.
As agncultureis the ground floor of
national . and state prosperity
everything that tends to its
highest development should
be encouraged. This principle
has been endorsed by the
federal and state governments in the
establishment of experimental stations
and A. & M. colleges ; and no sus-
picion of class legislation has ever at
tached to their action. Ihese valu
able institutions are doing good work
but their light is hid under a bushel
unless their professors and directors
can have an opportunity of coming
into personal correspondence with the
people. That can only be done at
meetings of farmers or institutes.
It is to be hoped that the new legis
lature will see the importance of the
matter and make such an appropri
ation as will put these institutes on a
sound basis. The interests of the
stale demand it.

The following explains itself :
Attorney Gkneral's Office I
Austin Dec 20 189U. I
Hon.H. C. Pritchett Superintendent Pub-
lic Instruction Austin Tex.:
Dear Sir From your letter of the 21st
ultimo which has not had eariier attention
because of a press of urgent official busi-
ness before this department it appears that
at some time prior to the year 187 school
district No. 62 of Dullag county was duly
created and a lot of land situated within
said distric was conveyed to the counfv
judge aud his successors in office lor public
tree school purposes. Upon this lo was
erected a school huilding for the use of said
district and it was so used until some time
during the year 1887 when (tie corporate
limits of the city of Dallas were extended
in tne manner provided by law so as to em-
brace a .art of said school district
including that part of it upon which
the school building now stands.
The city of Dallas has now and had
prior to that time exclusive control of the
publm free schools within its limits their
management being vested in a. board of
tr.istees elected and organized under an ac
of the sixteenth legislature approved
April 3 1S7'J and acts amendatory tnereto;
and these trustees since the extension of
the corporate limits of the city have used
the lot and building for public tree school
purposes of said city. It is now proposed
by the auiborities of the city to erect a
more substantial and commodious building
ii (Ion the lot lu question to be used for
public free school purposes in said city
but the suggestion is made that that por-
tion of district No 62 no included in the ex-
tension of the corporate limits of the citv
tnay hold some right or title to the lot and
tne question wnetner or not it does is tne
oi;e submitted for the opinion of this office.
In school districts where a house is to be
erected to be used for public free school
purposes so mucn ot tne available tund to
the credit of the district for any one vear
as the county judge may deem
expedient or necessary may be
used for the purpose of con-
structing such building: provided that the
citizens of the district ' must contribute of
their labor or means or both an amount
equal to one-third of the school fund so
used and a suitable piece of land shall be
donated as a site and a deed therefor shall
be executed and delivered con ve vine a eood
and sufficient title in fee simple in aud to
such land to the county judge and his suc-
cessors in office in trust for public free
school purposes." (Act of April 2 1887
page lzo.) it appears tnat the lot was do-
nated and the house erected in the manner
and by the means there provided.
By an act of the Twenty-first legislature
approved March 27 1889 it is provided.
among other things "That in all cities and
towns in this state which have assumed or
may hereafter assume the exclusive man
agement and control of the public free
schools within their limits and which have
determined or may hereafter determine
tnat sucn exclusive control and manage-
ment of the public free schools within
their limits shall be in a board of trustees
and organized under an act of the sixteenth
legislature approved April 3. 18i!l. and acts
amendatory thereto the title to all houses
lands and other property owned held set
apart or in auy way dedicated to the use and
benehc ot the public tree schools ot such
city or town including property heretofore
acquired as well as that which may here-
after be acquired shall be vested in the
board ol tiusties and their successors in ol-
fi e in trust for the use and benefit of the
public free schools in each city or town and
such board of trustees shall have and exer-
cise the exclusive possession thereof for the
purposes atoresaia. (Acts it!i puge lsj.)
15v a subsequent provision of the same act
the trustees arc given power to protect the
titles possession ai.d use of all such prop
erty and to bring any suits that may be
neceseary to recover the title and possession
of any such property that may be adversely
neifl etc.
When the coi porate limits ot the city ol
Dallas were extended over n portion of the
territory uf School r.istriet No. u'2 including
le lot in question tuecttv became ttie suc
cessor of suid school district in all matters
reining to public free schools wi hin the
territorial Htnits embraced in the extension
and the jurisdiction which the district had
before exercised within such lin its was
thereafter wholly excluded and such juris-
diction became vested in said city or the
authorities thereof having in their control
the management of public tree schools.
"There can not be at the same time within
tl.e same territory two distinct municipal
corporations exercising the same powers
jurisdictions and privileges." Dillon muni
cipal corporation section 184.
Under the law ot March 27 188!) before
quoted when the corporate limits of the
city were extended so as to embrace the
lot ttie ooaru or trustees oi tne city suc-
ceeded as newly created statutory trustees
to the title and possession of the lot and
the improvements (hereon. That portion
of school district No. 62 lying without the
city has no title to or right to the posses
sion of said lot and the board of trustees
of the city may safely make any improve
ments tnereon to ne usea lor ptiDiic tree

Whether or not the city might be made
directly liable to the school district as it
now exists for any part of the value of
said house and let is a question not pre-
sented by yourinquiry and need not now
be considered.
The conclusion here reached applies
equally to the case presented by your favor
ot the 28th ultimo which arose at Merkel
in Taylor county; there is in principle.no
substantial difference between the two.

Last evening at 7 :L o'clock in the
presence of an assemblage of intimate
friends und relatives Mr. Irwin Daniel
and Miss Alice Dowell were united in
marriage the llev. Dr. Snioot offici-
ating. T ho ceremony took place at

quitt affair it was nevertheless a happy
one.
The contracting parties are well and
highly known in the social circles of
this city and have a large number of
friends aud acquaintances whose best
wishes attend them upon this occa-
sion. Mr. Daniel is a clerk in the comp-
troller's office and has been oc-
cupying a high position of
honor in that department for
some five or six years. By diligent at-
tention to duties and most courteous
and obliging manner he has won the
esteem and respect of all his co- work-
ers and associa'es as well as the higher
officials of the govermental depart-
ments. Miss Dowell is the niece of Mrs..
Littlefield and is a young lady that is
well and popularly known in the social
circles of Austin as one of its most ac-
complished accessories. Possessed of
those traits of character and manners
that distinguish the southern lady she
has won numerous friends here and
elsewhere whose best wishes attend her
upon this eventful occasion. Im-
mediately upon the conclusion of the
ceremony the happy couple repaired
