ADVERTISING RATES.
The obstom among newspapers of printing
one rate and accepting another is fast disap-
P*ThelfiMX8 has been a onx-pbiok organ
stnee 1886. We End it pays.
Uniform rates are necessary for tbeaatta-
fsetlon of the advertiser and the auoceaa of
'^NtfdteoounU. except those published on this
rate sheet are allowed to anybody.
The advertising agent can par our rate and
retail the space to buyers at our flwures with
profit to himself. For instance: he buys a
half column, 9 lnohes, for one year, for $189,
If he retails each inch at $42 a year his profit
ta 100 per cent. We sell at the same figure to
everybod;
Tht* is not exactly the most favor-
able time (or starting public subscrip-
tions for any purpose, but if Texas
needs help l|t putting a monument
over the uegleoted grave of Sam Hous-
ton at Hantsvllls, tbs Republic may
be counted on to the utmost,, of its
ability.
Houston was not only tbs most re-
markable man of Texas, but one of tba
most remarkable of the century. He
Is not appreciated at his true worth
because he belongs to a section which
ias produoed men of action rather than
writers. The literature of the south
and west1 hardly exists as yet. There
e only enongh of it to give i promise of
ts great possibilities Whan men of
ability in the south and west realise,
as they will soon, that they count for
handredfold more with a pen than
on the stump, we will not have to go
t;o Rhode Island to find those who un-
derstand our great men better than we
do ourselves.
That observation ia pertinent at any
rate, but it is specially pertinent in this
connection, because thb only estimate
of Houston worth the paper it takes to
make the book containing it has oome
recently from a Rhode Islander, who
treats Houston nearly always intelli-
gently and always affectionately.
The truth is that the south and wset
have been too busy to be just to the
men to whom we owe so much. Hero
worship we do not owe to Houston or
to anyone also, but we do owe to him,
;o ourselves and to posterity a proper
appreciation of his character in it’s
strength and in it’s weakness alike.

WOMEN IN THE UNIVERSITIES.
Rev. Dr. H. S. Thrall prepares a long
article for the San Antonio Express in
which he leetures with some severity
the newspapers for publishing state-
ments not known to be facts. Then
1'oilows thi6: - ,
The University of Virglnis has decid-
ed in favor of oo education. Its aca-
demic oourse Is to be thrown open to
women as well as to men. The Phila-
delphia Recorder remarks that this ia
"the first instance in whioh a southern
university has granted euoh a conces-
sion.”
Dr. Thrall, had he taken theoare
that he demands of editors, would
have known that the University of
Nashville—Hie oldest institution pf
learning west of the Alleghenies—had
long ago taken this position, and that
it had been followed at least two yearB
ago by Vanderbilt University, of Nash-
ville. Other southern universities
may have done the same thing.

[Special Correspondence.]
Boston, June 81.—‘‘It is a fact,”
said an undertaker of this city to me
today, "that the desire for costly funer-
als is somewhat on the increase here,
notwithstanding the hard times, and 1
suppose in every city in the country.
There are plenty of men who save and
skimp, both with regard 1 to themselves
and the members of their families, all
their lives, who are not at all econom-
ical when there is a funeral in the fam-
ily. This tendoncy is one whioh I must
confess I do not understand, bnt at the
same time it is one which funeral direct-
ors do not seek to discourage very
vehemently. On the other hand, we do
not urge excessive expenditure of money
at funerals. It would be in the very
worst taste, and in the long run such
urging fcoulcP undoubtedly damage the
business of any undertaker. A great
deal is left to our own discretion, ol
course. The member of the family or
the friend to whom the duty of order-,
ing the casket and making mortuary ar-
rangements generally is left is not apt
to try to bargain over the matter. More
often than otherwise our instructions
are simply to provide fittingly, accord-
ing to the means of the family.* It is
very rare indeed that we get mqre defi-
nite instructions than not to go beyond
a certain figure, and the experienced
undertaker can generally gauge pretty
accurately the amount he should ex-
pend, even if a sum is not named, after
he has visited the house.
“It is not at all unusual for the very
poor to go to an expense far beyond
their means in burying relations, to run
into debt which it will take years-.to
liquidate in order to do the lapt thing
that can be done for the departed well,
and in more than one instance of this
sort which I remember in my own busi-
ness I have had to counsel greater econ-
omy than was proposed. It dpes not
always do to counsel restriction of ex-
penses in such cases, for the people are
often very sensitive at such times. Of
late years some insurance companies
have introduced what tnay be called a
funeral branch into their business—that
is, agreeing to furnish a funeral that
shall cost a given sum for the payment
of a small weekly premium.
“The average cost of a funeral here
these days? I could not give an esti-
mate. I can get up a very respectable
funeral for $40 or $50. The casket
would be imitat'on rosewood, oak or
walnut; the body would be iced, some-
thing of a floral display could be made,
the burial lot bought, the grave dug
and one carriage furnished. Some un-
dertakers would charge more for the
same funeral. Yes, there is some compe-
tition among undertakers, but of course
it must be a decorous sort. There are
undertakers who pay doctors commis-
sions for notifying them of approaching
deaths, and in many smaller cities un-
dertakers and coroners make combina-
tions.
“There is a tendency on the part of a
few of the more sensible persons Jo re-
duce some of the extravagances of funer-
als, and the evening funeral is much
more common than it was a few years
ago. It is for the sake of economy of
time that this custom has been intro-
duced, however, for it is much easier
for busy men to attend a funeral in the
evening than in the daytime. ”
S. L. Johnson.

A CASE OF PROSTITUTION.
The afternoon auti Democratic or-
gan of the Belt-styled young Demoora-
oy oontinnes to declare that the Times
has at some time bolted a Democratic
nomination. This Is well known to be
a falsehood, but that is not to be pon-
dered at. It is not an uncommon thing
for a woman of the town who has pros-
tituted herself for mousy to attempt to
defame her deoent slaters. The like-
ness need not be named. Every Dem-
ocrat and Republican who has been
oonneoted with El Paso polltlos knows
the oareer of tbe Tribune.
Conditiona of Life In China.
In China little time is devoted by the
natives to amusement and recreation.
To the poor, who form an immense ma-
jority of the population, life is a never
ending struggle against starvation. The
middle class are extremely busy, but
take life more easily. Many of the offi-
cials have leisure time, but those who
are high in office and in favor with the
emperor are sadly overworked.
