THE PROPOSED TAX TEST FOR SUF-
FRAGE.
The proposition to amend the Texas
constitution so as to require payment of
a poll tax as a condition of suffrage has
passed in one house and awaits action in
the other. It does not clearly appear
whether the chief object of the measure,
as viewed by its supporters, is to pro-
mote the collection of taxes or to purify
politics by elevating the standard of suf-
frage. If designed in the interest of a
regular and general payment of taxes,
the measure does not go far enough, and
would prove, indeed, ridiculously
inadequate to the purpose. The
sum of any poll tax which
could be realized for the state exchequer
under t}je proposed condition would be
tritiing compared with the sum of the
property taxes the payment of whieh
was not exacted as a prerequisite to
voting. On the other hand, if it is the
intention of the measure to enforce the
idea that only those should participate
in the government who contribute ac-
cording to their ability to its
support, and to purge corruption
from politics by attaching a
pecuniary qualification to suffrage, then
the measure is inconsistent with itself,
and in the light of history and of analy-
tical reasoning ' thoroughly fallacious.
A rich man, it is conceivable, may be
well able to contribute out of his abun"
dance two or three thousand dollars,
where a poor man may be scarcely able
to contribute out of his scantiness two
dollars, say, as a poll tax, to the support
of the government. But it is proposed
to exact from the rich man and the poor
man alike no more and no less than two
dollars as a condition of suffrage.
It is needless to ransack political
annals and accumulate examples
to expose the thorough fallaciousness of
the measure as regards the purpose of
political reform. Political power based
on property, on monopoly, on exclusive
privileges having no reference to per-
sonal merits and superior traits of
character, was never known to be other
than both corrupt and oppressive. To
organize such a power anywhere in this
country, and under any sort of pretext
is in essential antagonism to the demo-
cratic principle of government assert-
ed in the declaration of independence
and to which our political institutions
have been, in form and theory at least,
progressively adjusting themselves. This
principle recognizes humanity as stand-
ing before property in relation to the
powers and duties of government. It
holds that the great end of government
is the protection and improvement of
man, not the cultivation and aggran-
dizement of the exterior appurtenances
of a select number of men. "The
poor man," said Dr. Franklin, "has an
equal right, but greater need of the bal-
lot, than the rich man." At the same time
it can not be too vividly remembered
that in a country of democratic tenden-
cies, where suffrage is commonly re.
garded as a birthright, nothing is more
calculated to consolidate social order
and firmly establish political justice
thau to diffuse wealth ft) the utmost
among the masses, and to so multiply
property-ownership in small but com
fortable parcels that universal suffrage,
attended by no other test than intelli-
gent and responsible humanity, will be
almost completely identified with some
degree of both property and per-
sonal taxation. But the road to so
desirable a state of things is not to be
found by the retrograde method of mo-
nopoly, exclusivism, arbitrary and artifi
cial discriminations, a method which has
always been rife with corruption, social
disorder and political instability.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
"SPOOL COTTON AT PARIS.
As might have beer, expected, the spool cot-
ton manufacturers Vers well represented at
the great Paris Exhibition. Though spool cot-
ton in itself seeiixs a comparatively small
thing, yet Its use is s0 universal that it enters
into the female economy of every family in
the world to who^n clothes are a necessity. Ifc
is not to be wondered at, therefore, that the
manufacturers 'rf spool cotton strain every
nerve to attain such recognition from the
judges at International Exhibitions, where
people are brought together from all parts of
the world, a* will place them at the head of
the list of Competitors in their line. And so
•imple a thing is it apparently, that but few
people have any idea of the care taken, the
skill shown, or the machinery employed in
bringing the raw material to the perfect thread
as used by the public. So much depends upon
each individual process, from the selection of
the raw material up to ihe final examination
of the finished thread for the purpose of
throwing aside what may be In any way defec-
tive. so that none may be put upon the mar-
ket that is not absolutely perfect, that the
slightest slip in any one point may be fatal to
the reputation of a brand of thread. Hence it
is that the oldest and most experienced manu-
facturers. such as J. £ P. Coats, who lead the
markets of the world in «pool cotton, are ena-
bled to acid their own against all younger
competitors. It ts veil knowa that J. <£ P.
Coats hav- been established as manufacturers
of spool cotton, at Paisley, Scotland, for many
years, but it Is not so well known that they
have at Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the largest
spool cotton mills in the United States, where
their spool cotton is manufactured through
every process, Crom the raw cotton to the fin-
ished spool.
Of course they have brought into the coun-
try for this purpose the best skilled labor from
Soctland and the finest machinery for every
process, sc that the thread made at Pawtucket
le cf exactly the same quality as that which
has made their name so famous In connection
with Paisley. Scotland.
This firm have been awarded a gold medal
at the Paris Exposition of 1878, that being as
high as any award that was given for six cord
spool cotton. The honors previously obtained
by Messrs. J. & P. Ooats were—first in London,
1862; Paris, 1SG7; Vienna, 1873 (Ribbon of
Knighthood); Centennial Exhibition at Phila.
delphia. 1876, Diploma for •* superior strength
and excellent quality." It has been reported
that there was a Grand Prize award© 1 for
spool cotton, but this is not the case. Mr
Archibald Coats ^ as in Paris himself on Octo-
ber 21, the day when the awards were officially
announced, and he telegraphed to Auchincloss
Brothers, the agents for the thread In New
York, that they had obtained a gold medal,
and also stated, specifically, that no (hand
Prize was awarded by the judges for spool cot-
ton.

THE NORMAL bCHOOZ.
Its Belatlons to Other Schools*
iy rev. e. d. pitts, d. d.j
About five years ago a bill to establish a
state normal school was introduced into
the legislature of Texas by Hon. W. H.
WestfaU. The bill passed the senate, but
did not come to a vote in the house.
Many of the leading men in both branches
of the legislature favored the measure,
The nature, object and results of such an
institution were not, however, well
enough known and appreciated to excite
much interest, and the house committee
on education were indifferent, if not ad-
verse, to the bill. It is more than possible.
it is probable, that the passage of the bill
would have been warmly approved by the j
general public sentiment of the state.
If the school had been organized during
that year, and had been properly conduct-
ed and adequately sustained from that
time until to-day, it is certain there could
be now found in the state no institution
more ardently loved and more cordially
supported by the true friends of education.
The bill did not pass—the school was not
established. Yet the movement was not
a failure. Attention was arrested, curios-
ity awakened, and inquiry elicited. As
one result, several chartered colleges and
some private schools moved forward—
normal classes were formed and normal
instruction given. Some of those who
have passed through these normal courses
are now working in the school-room, and
by their skill and knowledge and efficiency
are vindicating all that is claimed in be-
half of normal study and normal teach-
ing. As another result, the present legis-
lature has appropriated SfiOOO, and Dr. B. ,
Sears, agent of the Feabody fund, has can manufacture, as they bad long done In the

BREACH OF PROMISE IN GERMANY.
Suits for breach of promise of mar-
riage are not confined to this country.
A very interesting case of this charac
ter was recently disposed of in one of
the higher tribunals of Germany. There
is a celebrated operatic singer by the
name of Franz Diener in Germany who
was engaged to be married to a young
lady of irreproachable character. They
kept up a correspondence, exchanged
presents, and the marriage was to be
celebrated in London in May, 1878.
Before the time for the marriage arrived
Mr. Diener changed his mind. He
gave as an excuse for his non-com-
pliance with his agreement, that
he had lost his fortune, and moreover
was suffering intensely from weak lungs,
and he didn't care to get married any-
how these hard times, didn't think he
could afford to leave a desponding
widow, which he would have had to
do if his' lungs kept on growing weak-
er, and a great deal more of that style of
dilatory logic. In consequence of his
hesitancy the young lady, accompanied
by Mr. Diener's prospective mother-in-
law, called to see him. In this country
the youne lady's brother, accompanied
by a revolver and a cowhide, would
have called on him; but they are still
behind the times in such matters in Ger-
many. Perhaps, if it were otherwise,
there would have been no occasion for
the call at all. Had the melodious
Diener had reason to expect an irate
male relative, the chances axe that his
pulmonary afflictions would not have
been so severe as to pre-
vent his keeping his engagement.
It is a part of the evidence that he not
only refused to see his fiancee, but even
denied himself the pleasure to be de-
rived from conversing with her mother.
He not only refused to see them, but he
sent them back her letters ami a gold
medal she had once given him. along
with a letter full of sarcasm and taunts.
Finally the young lady brought suit
against her " pretender," as Mrs. Parting-
ton calls an intended of that class. Be-
fore the suit could be decided; " the
pretender" had so far recovered from
his pulmonary troubles and his financial
complications as to marry, in dead
earnest this time, the daughtei of a
land owner in Saxony. Tha lower
court found for the deceived young
lady in the sum of 3000 marka. This
was rather a higher note than he cared
to warble, so he appealed, and the
higher court "raised him" 7000 marksi
to use a technical term. In other words,
he had to pay to the young lady 10,000
marks, and he was only allowed four-
teen days to collect the money. He still
sings on the stage, but there is a melan-
choly strain running through the entire
performance.

Galveston hereby offer to purchase
from the county of Galveston,
represented by your honorable body,
the five thousand shares, represent-
ing five hundred thousand dollars of the
capital stock of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe railway company, now owned
by said county, the same to be at once as-
signed, transferred and delivered to Geo.
price
to pay at once to the couutv treasurer of |
Calveston county the sum of ten thousand 1
dollars, and aiso to execute and deliver I
to said county one bond in the sum of j
two hundred thousand dollars, con- I
ditioned that we will construct, com- !
piete, equip and put in running order
a railroad from the present terminus
of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
road at Richmond, in Port Bend county,
to Belton, in Bell county, within the time j
required by the charter of the said Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe railway company,
the same to be completed to the said town
of Belton on or before the 1st day of De-
cember, 1882, which bond is tendered here-
with for the action and acceptance of
your honorable body.
The foregoing is our definite and com-
plete offer.
For the information of the public, but
not as any condition or part of the terms
of this transaction, we take this occasion
to state our purpose to be to secure beyond
doubt or hazard the certain, prompt and
rapid construction of the railroad to Bel-
ton, believing its early completion to that
point to be to the interest not only of Gal-
veston, but of the entire section of the
state through which the road will run.
Should our offer be accepted, any citizen
of Galveston who at present owns any full
~aid stock in said railway company, and
? desirous of owning
amount of the county
say, for each share of
now owned, to purchase two shares of the
county stock—can do so within ten days
The Enfflish soldiers in Afghanistan
have been provided with large calico
handkerchiefs, on which are printed
maps of the country. This is an en-
tirely new idea. If th« English should
sustain a defeat, the whole army can
wipe out the disgrace without losing a |
man.

New York, March 11.—a good deal of
apprehension continues to exist regarding
tne money market during the settlement
of the 4 per cents, but those by whom the
heaviest settlements are to be made do not
to-day express any fears of undue strin
gency. A coupie of weeks, (the two first
perhaps in April,) it is believed, will see
the worst of it, and then the money market
will adjust itself to its normal condition.
Were the settlements confined to one party,
it is alleged that the whole could be made
to work smoothly, and without disturb-
ance to ths market, but as the settlements ]
are to be participated in by perhaps a j
score of banks and bankers, there will
naturally be a competition for all the
money that is obtainable. Stocks will, of
course, feel the stringency the most, while
governments will be apt to feel the pres-
sure but lightly.
The real estate market shows a decided
looking up. Among the recent purchases
are six lots of ground, 25x100, on Fifth
avenue, near 7"th street, for $150,000.
One year ago the best offer for the same
property was $C+0.00i).

The state of Texas, county of Galveston
g-arten, and does not aspire to the honor.
The one is for small children, the other is
for young men and young women. The
one has blocks, and wands, and rings, and
pictures, and the requisite! for object
teaching; the other has libraries, laborato-
ries, chemicals, museums, and apparatus
to demonstrate the facts of science, the
principles of philosophy. In the same
way, if not to the same extent, the prima-
ry school is integral and distinct from the
common school, and the common school
from the grammar school, and the gram-
mar school from the high school.
The course of study in each should be
definite and clearly determined. If the
studies in one grade seem to overlap and
interfere with the studies of another it is
because the same are carried to higher
stages than in another. From the lowest
to the highest grade in the system the
progress fa onward, upward, regular; and
all the grades are happily adapted and
helpfully related to each other.
The normal school has a close and vital
relation to each of the four grades, but
does not take the place or hinder the work
of either. The primary school is the most
important of all schools. Large numbers
of children will never enter a higher grade J
—will never enjoy any other scholastic
Its work, therefore, should be
wisely done. If there be but the
one brief opportunity for instruction and
ipline that opport
much as possible. No other school imposes I
had guided th^m in building up their immense
business at Paisley. They established them-
selves at Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where they
now have a manufactory almost rivaling in ex-
tent their famous Scottish works, and produc.
ing thread fully equal, and by some thought
superior to their Paisley works. They have
thus become leading American manufacturers,
and control from American soil the large trade
in this country, the excellence of their work
had secured for their Scotch manufactures,
and it is strictly true to say they are now the
in the
world. The New York: Economist speaks of
their enterprise in the highest terms of com-
mendation, and says:
44 Their American-made spoolcfotton received
the award at the Centennial, and while they
have never claimed special merit for their
American-made spool cotton over that manu-
factured at their Paisley Mills, they have the
satisfaction of announcing that America, as
represented by J. & P. Coats, is still ahead in
spool cotton. Coarse thread is as familiar in
this country as any household name, and it has
always maintained a leading position here as
well as in the principal markets of the world.
It is equally adapted for machine or hand-
sewing, as its superior strength and finish com-
mend it to popular favor. It has received the
very highest indorsements from ail the well
known sewing machine manufacturers in the
United 6tates. We are glad to announce that
Messrs. J. & P. Coats received as high an
award as was given at the great Paris Exposi-
tion in 1878.

feeling his obligation to u
trembles at this turn in his child's life
fcense of fearful accountability, accepts the
solemn charge with self-distrust ana with
humble reliance upon God. One of the
most eminent and successful normal school
teachers in the United States, William F.
Phelps, has said: '* If the home training
has been, and still is, wise and judicious,
the task of the teacher becemes compara-
tively easy and his burden light: for he
has but, to co-operate with the parent in
the continuation of a work already begun.
But if, as in a majority of cases, the educa-
tion of the fireside has been a work of per-
version and misdirection, if only a super-
ficial foundation has been laid, it habits of
disobedience arid disorder prevail, if there
be an absence of parental sympathy, co-
operation and support, his position becomes
one of almost overwhelming anxiety and
insurmountable difficulty."
The normal school is designed to
and strengthen the primary teacher so
that his high trust may be Kept and his
hard duty be performed. The normal
school will furnish such instruction as will
train and qualify the teachers, and thus
increase the value and efficiency of the
primary schools.

Acts of a Lunatic.
lTo the News.l
waxahachie, March 13.—There was
considerable excitement here this morning,
caused by a lunatic named John "Wool ifs
trying to jump from the upper story of the
court-house. He succeeded twice in get-
ting through the window, but was caught I
by the coat-tail both times, thereby saving
him from a severe fall. He jumped
through a large pane of glass once, which
cut him pretty badly. Seldom.
The Impeachment Vote.
Paris, March 16.—The majority in
chamber of deputies Thursday night
against impeachment of the De Broglie
cabinet consisted of 183 republicans, 134
legitimists and Bona par tists. The minori-
ty consisted of 156 republicans and 1 Bona-
partisL The government's majority, tak-
ing the left alone, was thus only &>0.
Nineteen republicans abstained from vot-
ing. These principally were ministerial-
ists, who were deterred by views of some
of their constituents from voting with the
cabinet, though they would not vote
against it.
Failures.
London, March 15.—Jas. Rhodes, Brad-
ford wool stapier, failed. Liabilities £ti3,-

films of Blacafie, of Paris, and Fhillipin
Peliser, Powell & Co., of Loudon, extend
to highly respectable firms at Havre.
The firms of Robert Biacque, of Paris,
and Phillippin Peliser, Powell & Co., of

the South American trade, failed. Lia-

turned out by far tlie best thing of its kind that
