years Doctors pronounced it a local disease

nounced it incurable. Science has proved
catarrh to be a conatitutionol disease ann
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Kclltorlal Itojulndor.
In aocordiincu with tho well-known
line of conduct of the Fuuk Vhim to
give both nidoA of all questions of
jjubilo iuturest we give piuro to tho
cotumuuioatioa below and follow it
bj some comments of our own:
Emtoa Fhka raw i Mayor flardy
say "Let U reason together" referriuu
to the proposition to erect au Additional
school building.
If it can be shown that we need an extra
house for school purposes and the need so
urguut (notwithstanding hard time aud the
souruity of uiouey) thut dulay is iuipracti.
cable thuu of course no oue will object.
But i this the cuse f I remember only
a few years ao whou meu aud ladle too
were cheerfully giving to build tip Coronal
lustitute aud its buuedU to tho towu ot
Sau Marcos aud surrouudlug country were
loudly proclaimed that iu cousequuuoe of
tins instituto Sau Marcos would become au
educational centre Ac. Scarcely were the
present walls completed and the school in
good ruuulug order wheu men begun to
complain saying it was a Mothodist school
coutrolloJ by the Methodist church aud
consequently seotnriau therefore should uot
be allowed any of the public school funds ;
uutil by a vote of the people the towu of
ban Marcos assumed control of the publio
free schools aud evor since no ono who
patronizes Coronal Institute cau receive any
benefits from the Slate aid i. e. aro denied
the use of any portion of the funds furnish-
ed by tho State which certainly iutends that
all shall share and share alike Why clog
the use of this institution by saying by our
acts that no friend of Coronal lustitute
suull have a single dollar to aid iu the edu-
cation of his or her children ? Is this what
was reasonably expected when this enter-
prise was uudt rtakon ? I was assured by
one of tho principals of this school to-duy
there is ample room for one to two hundred
more pupils at this time inxide the college
walls. If the free school is crowded why
not relieve it by allowiug some to go bore
thoroby for the present at least saving the
necessity of a now aud costly building ?
Besidos why give all the money to l'rof.
Williums' school f Why is it that schools
seem to be the ouly enterprise iu life thut
seeds no competition ? All people are not
alike some will buy goods from Messrs.
Johnson & Johnson others from J. V.
Hutchins whilo still others nt different
places nlthough they may nil be of one
price and equally worthy. For the some
reason people will prefer different schools
teachers etc
Iu this connection I am informod by his
honor Judae Kone that notwithstanding
all the free sohool raouoy say $1900 the
entire white scholaBtio population of our
citv that about fifty per cent of the pupils
in the scholastio age attend the present free
school receiving not only thoir own half of
the State allowance but the other half too.
In fact some one told me that Prof Wil-
liams alone drew $900 of thi money
Don't uudunstand that I blame Prof. Wil-
liamsnot in the least but I must certain-
ly protest against educating a part of the
rising generation to the exclusion of an-
other portion and at the same timo to be
kindly invitod to wolk up and vote another
burden for the benefit of this select or fat
half. No Mayor Hardy I would much
prefer to stand with you and Mr. Julian
aud watch the boys under 45 work on tho
streets. But right hero I want to ask
who will pay the street commissioner and
who will feed -the mules whilo tho boys
under judicious managomeut macadamize
the streets of San Marcos? And if 100
nion work five days each and thero should
be say 315 working days in the year will
not ono and a half hands ropreseut your
daily working force.
But Mayor Hardy shows how easily
$10000 cau bo put into a nice building ;
and $2000 more used iu tho purchase of a
site all by tho process of issuing bonds
bearing 6 per cent interest Woll take his
figures. He says thut 25 cents tax on Uie
hundred dollars on the property of San
Marcos will produce 1875 revenue. He
forgot to tell us that there might he some
delinquents and that the assessor and col-
lector would probably charge something
near oue hundred dollars each year for his
services. However if all his propositions
aro correct let us see how much tho people
of San Marcos would pay before canceling
the last bond. He proposes to raise $1875
each year for twenty years ; this willl make
exactiy $37.r0J to carry out his programme
that we would finally pay for this build-
ing. So that it would be a costly luxury
especially if the people when it was complet-
ed legislated against it as they do Coron-
al lustitute.
Besidos is a school building all we need?
How about our streets and side walks? It
is true our worthy Mayor says we have 100
men subject to road duty ft days each that
the town owns a pair of mules a scraper
Ac and that with these men judiciously
manoged all will be wen. vnom miujeci
r. rnnH dntv? The man under 45 years old.
Now is it not cute to get our streets paved
by the young mon and we old follows get
the benefit from encnancea property ume.
It strikes me since I come to remember
that Mr. Hardy has been Mayor of San Mar-
cos nearly two years and one of his duties
is to appoint a committee on streets and
alleys. Where nre the beautifully paved
Btreots and lovely walls comploted by the
judicious management for two years past?
Where! Oh Wherel This reminds mo of nn
incident that occured in ono of our princi-
pal streets during the last heavy rains. A
gentleman passing along saw a waf;on whip
sticking up out of the mud and taking hold
of it was moving on wheu a voice from
below implored him not to take the whip
for says he "I am driving a six mule team
down here and will never get out without
that whip." Certainly this may be exagera-
tion. Now Mr. Editor as I am not a judge
nor a royor please excuse me on account
of my very great modesty in not signing
my real name hereto. "Citizes."
REMARKS ON THE FOBEOOIXO.
A few words only will suflire as to
tho first half of the above. Citizen is
evidently a very strong partisan of
the Coronal Institute. Ia asking
why that institution cannot educate
the free school pupils he begs the
question. His controversy here is
with the constitution and laws of the
State of Texas and we believe of
every other state in Union which ex-
cludo sectarian or denominational
schools from any shore in tho public
school fund. Nor is there any just
eronnd for complaint in rt-crard to
this. The state Fpreadshf r education-
al table free to all her children a:ke

If any part of them decline tho invi-
tation ar.d stand aloof on tho -I am

That u the long and short of it And
those who do not like it should niuke
their quarrel with tbe father and
founders of Texas who laid the
fouudaiiom of our freo school system

tions aud legislatures which have
carried out their will. So much for
that. And it does soeni to uh that

any almre in luo puuuo scuooi muu
whilo refusing to comply with the
legal conditions. They should sot a
better examplo of rospoct for Ameri-
can institutions and for themselves
than all thut comes to.
Citizen's next point is againt-t tho
supposed monopolistic pirit of tho
free schools their alleged antipathy
to all competition eto. Now if Citi
zon had said this of his favorite Cor-
onal Institute he would have made a
miint. tho illHticBOt which WOUld ttt
ouce have boon generally rocognizod.

liHMVU 14 - 0
it has been tho special pot of our town
.... . t . !
and vicinity iso scuooi puono or
nrivutH. baa been allowed to como in
competition with it Let us refresh
tho memory ol our reaaers a iiitio on
tl is subject
Ia tho year 1875 we boliovo it was
proposed to aid the Instituto by a
subscription of $10000 by our citi-
izeus the conference engaging to
raise $10000 ia addition. Tho
former sum was subscribed many
outside of tho church contributing
liberally. But the conference never
came up with their ton thous-
and dollars. That is our informa-
tion if we are wrong we stand
ready to make correction. All this
however is only by way of introduc-
tion. Up to 187G or '77 tho Institute
had recoived the publio school fund
without question. But thera was a
fund collected under the law for
building a public school house. At
the time we refer to it hud reached
we believe nearly $1000 It was
somehow held under control of
the management of the Institute and
we recollect there was considerable
agitation of the matter and a sharp
article or two from Major Hutchison
who was conversant with the whole
subject iu the Free Press bofore the
money was forth coming. It was
used in erecting tbe present main
school-building ou the hill and a
public school was opened in it. It
continued a year or so when the
school was again merged in tho In-
stitute tho house boing used for its
male department. This continued a
short time till tho publio school as a
distinct institution was lost sight of
when the house was abandoned to
the bats and owls and bo remained
till at the vote to separate tho freo
school from the Instituto ia 188G.
Separation was carried at a very full
election by a decided vote of tho cit-
izens. That settled the mattor for a tuno
but the partisans of the Institute
have not beeu content with the situ-
ation although tho trustees and lead-
ing patrons of the publio school
have sought to concilialate them. The
school and its management have
been sedulously disparaged and as
the unkindest cut of all whilo op-
posing the idea of a new school build-
ing tbe lack of it has been urged as
an argument against patronizing tho
public school while now that a vote
is to be taken its opponents sud-
denly discover that tho house is am-
ply good enough !
It will thus be seen that Citizen's
charge that the public school is de-
signed to forestall all competition.lios
really at the door of Coronal Instiutc.
Before going further we must en-
ter our protest against our corre-
spondent's Bty ling the school "Prof.
Williams' school.'' It is the public
school of San Marcos belonging to
and under the management of her
people. Prof. Williams is meroly thoir
servant and subject to thoir will.
As to the alleged non-attendance
of a large per cent of the free school
pupils it is no doubt owing to the
opposition that the school is receiv-
ing and aiso to a lack of a suitable
building facilities' for grading and
other disadvantages calculated to
impair it3 success in spito of the best
efforts of the superintendent and trus-
tees. Wo hove not spaco to enter into
Citizen's financiul showing we leave
that for others. Wo will only sug-
gest that ho takes no account of the
value of tuition for the twenty years
and that $755 of the 1875 would
in the plan outlined by Mayor Hardy
bo expended each year to supplement
the school fund which in twenty
years would amount to $15100 and
at the end of that time tho situation
would be about as follows : 1st our
children would bavo roceived $15-
100 worth of tuition in addition to
the regular state fund. 2d. We
nnnll t.avn A fiellOOl llOUHO AD(1
grounds worth at leant $14000 for
it is but reasonable to supposo umi
the property would enhance $2000
ia valuo in ircty year$. 3d. We
would have bad tho nse of said pro-
erty for twenty years which would
amount. 3.000 At tho ridiculously
b1 mine ot H'tO a vear. It
will thus be seen that while we will
h.ro .ym n(-J S37.50O we will have
rw-.ived values to the amount of
$38100. Sirmchf'jr Citizen's fig

W will jit r':rk Uwew-r that
the opponrntv of tho new school
buildiug and of tho iiuproveiuout of
our street seem t be to a consider
able txtent idoiitic.il. Home of them
are loading weu in tho Council but
totally ignored all tftorU nt improv-
ing tho atreoU and bido-walka dur-
ing all tho paot winter while they
wore an eyesore and disgrace to the
oity and wheu tho aviintge oitiaxn of

kiud. Thoy nre tho lust men who
should complain that nothing hna
boon dono und their nisin;' the
quostion now would ttecin to indicate
merely a dtbire to prejudice the tie-
cision uf tho school bou.se question.
Wo have thus hastily and imper
fectly responded to the points rnisod
by Citizen. . Our article is rather
lung but before closing wo wish to
disclaim nil but tho kindest fillings
towards our Mothodid brethren
many of whom nre our beat friends
and we trust will so remain. Wo
would fain have avoided all criticism
but in duty to tho pooplo genorally
we could uot conscientiously do so.
Conceding to thoiu honesty of pur-
pose we only ask them to allow the
same to ns. We would not pluck a
einerle leaf from the laarols of "Old
Coronal" she has done 'noble service
in the past in this community in yet
fillinf? a useful sphere nna may con
tinuo to fill it. But sho cannot do so
by antagonizing the froo school move
ment of this croat country as wen
attempt to roll back the current of
the Ban Marcos into its mo iniaiu
caverns. It cannot be done. There
is and will continue to be a field for
both institutions in tho growing do-
volopmout consequent upon the erec-
tion of a suitable school building.
You may possibly delay for a short
time but yon cannot prevent this
result Why not thon ntonco. fall
in with tho publio schools iu joint
co-operation for the educational ad-
vancement of tho tntiro rising gener-
ation within our city limits and for
tho moral and material benefit of its
entire population T Thus may the
consummation so longed for by Citizen
bo effectually secured a uoaltuy
competition and tho permanent fame
of San Marcos as an educatioual
centre.

Last Sprinn I bought of J. E. Morris
ono of his Corn Cotton and Horghnm seed
Planters. A a corn and cotton planter it
is as good as a man need want ; and a a
caue seed planter it Is withont a rival. I
n-gard it as the planter for tho peoplo and
tbe who once try it will arrive at the
same conclusion. L It. KYLANDEU.

Mr. Editor : I was glad to oe In yonr
last issue of tbe Fbaa Poass a notice or tue
Boss Planter patented and manufactured
b Mr. J. E. Morns of your town. I have
used it for two year with perfect satisfac-
tion I have tried several and thought for
a time the New Jtrauufel planter waa the
best in nse but I consider the Bos Planter
superior to any that I nave nsea or tea in
use. It i stmpln easily adjusted and
when the eronnd i dry ion oaii use tbe
solid where to retain the moisture when
wot nse the spoke wheel and yon can plant
all day without stopping to olean in wneei.
I would not exchange for any in nse.
