There seems to be a general
row in the camp of the Reform
Press Association. One divis-
ion has been in session in Mem-
pi i i aud the other in Kansas
City. Crimination and recrim-
ination have been freely indulged
in by the different factions.
The Houston Post urges the
necessity of Texas towns arousing
themselves, and working, every-
one, for its own upbuilding. On
the subject it says: “There is
capital enough in nearly every
town of 1000 inhabitants in Texas
t > build and operate a cotton mill.
Many of the mills of the South
Allantic States were put np on
the co-operative plan and they
have been paying investments.”
An Austin correspondent says
of the splendid library recently
gireu to the State University:
lie Palm, a learned German
>lar, who has been gathering
a library of valuable books from
parts of the world, and in ev-
laDguage, for fiO years past.
>resented the University with
ire library valued at $100,-
Many books in the library are
without duplication in America
aud one or two, in the world.
Some of the books which were
down from Palm’s fore-
are dated in 1600, show-
ing the yellowness of age.

state. This same mixing of ele-
ments in Texas’ character perhaps
is the very quality which will
best fit her to be a leader in the
South. Texas, if any state, should
be free to follow broad lines of
development; not only because
the good Lord has given her more
such lines to follow, but also be-
cause she lias received from all
over the nation divers forces with
energies fit for the best working
of each field. North, east, south
aud west have all contributed,
and each influence should exer-

Industrial Training.
Houston; Post.
In spite of the determined op-
position which it has to encounter
the movement for the introduc-
tion of industrial or manual train-
ing into the public schools is con-
stantly gaining ground.
Many people are strongly prej-
udiced agaiust having their sons
and daughters taught anything in
school beyond a mental course of
instruction in books embraced in
the old-time curriculum. But is
education complete which trains
the mind alone to the neglect of
the body ? It is true that Johnnie
may never become a machinist
and Susie may never be a cook,
but the chances are that a knowl-
of mechanics and cookeriy will
prove more useful in nine cases
out of ten in everyday life than a
familiarity with Greek verbs and
the intricate problems of higher
mathematics. Higher education
is not to be disparaged, as through
it come the great achievements
of science and philosophical re-
search, but the majority of the
boy8 and girls who are trained in
the public schools can never be-
come philosophers or scientists,
and Horace Greeley’s remark
about a college^ graduate in a
printing office applies equally well
to a great many other trades and
professions.
The world demands men and
women who have practical as well
as theoretical knowledge, people
who know how to do things.
One of the great faults of the
country has been the strong ten-
dency to make lawyers and doc-
tors and politicians out of men
whom nature intended for black-
smiths and carpenters and wheel-
wrights. There is more honor in
taming out a well-made pair of
shoes than in preparing a poorly-
constructed lawyer’s brief, yet
many of our youDg men fail to
realize it and continue to eke out
a meager livelihood in dingy
offices when they might be earn-
ing fair wages in neighboring ma-
chine shops. They contend that
there is always room at the top
in the professions. Certainly,
but how many succeed in reach-
ing the top or in fact in coming
anywhere near it! The trouble is
in gett;ng a foothold at the bot-
tom.
In our cities, the ambition of
many joang men is to enter mer-
cantile life through a clerkship.
The ambition is laudable enough
and no fault is to be found with
the profession, but the dry goods
coaster is already so full that the
“ standing room only ” sign ie
ready to be displayed at its end.
Many a young man is measuring
calico or fitting shoes on a small
salary with no prospects of a rise
who is kept out of a comfortable
living by his pride, which forbids
him to enter one of the so-called
lower callings. To remove this
sense of false pride is one of the
several objects of industrial train-
ing in the schools.
The fact is becoming more and
more apparent that the hope for
the development of the South
lies in the establishment of indus-
trial enterprises within its bor-
ders, and the day is rapidly com-
ing when the mills and factories
of New England, or at least a very
large part of them, will be trans-
ferred to the base of supplies, the
South. Then will the demand for
skilled workmen become still
greater in this section than at the
present time, aud if skilled labor
is not available here it will be
imported from other localities.
The sooner the South takes ad-
vantage of the forecasts of the
times to educate her children to
meet the coming conditions the
greater will be her gain.
additional. Alluding to that, Mr.
Fisk said:
Our action in doubling our pur-
chases of rails has been predicat-
ed cn the cheapness of articles
and appreciation that activity in
the iron trade means a rising com-
mercial barometer and a desire to
do what in us lies to give employ-
ment to labor and capital by set-
ting both at work. If the other
roads will likewise avail of pres-
ent quotations to place orders for
enough rails to repair one-tenth
of cur entire mileage this year,
we shall certainly see increased
activity in every branch of trade
at an early day. As the general
com nercial conditions are good
and sound, and prices of raw ma-
terial anil staple goods being un-
usually low, we need but a revi-
val in the iron trade to set the
wheels of commerce in motion. I
for one believe that we have now
got over the dead centre. It re-
mains for others, manufacturers,
merchants, and bankers alike to
see matters in the same light.
Mr. Fish stated, moreover, that
ou the 4100 miles of railroad op-
erated by the Illinois Central and
its branches there is neither a
workable deposit of iron ore nor
coking coal fit for use in a blast,
furns.ee; that, as far as he koew,
no director or officer of the com-
pany had the slightest interest in
the manufacture of steel, aud that
the company has less interest in
that trade than any other large
system in the country, and, there-
fore, that if his road could take
the initiative in such an order,
how much more important is it
for other roads that are directly
interested by having coal and
iron enterprises along their lines.
The important influence of the
roads upon general commercial
health is indicated in the report-
ed purchase by the Pennsylvania
Railroad of steel rails, before the
redaction came, for the purpose
of maintaining the activity of
manufacturing towns along its
route., in accordance with its time-
honoied policy.
Thci Illinois Central has not a
blast furnace or a rolling mill on
its line ontside of Chicago, but
it realizes! the disadvantages of
idle capital and idle labor; it
known that work for both, in im-
proving or extending a railroad,
meami immediate local activity,
with* increased resources for de-
veloping the general prosperity
induced thereby, and it has acted
promptly and wisely.
Its example should be followed
wherever possible. The dead
center passed by reason of the
exertions of the railroads, the
great machine of trade and manu-
factures will resume its regular
motion of progress, aud the rail-
roads will share in the beneficial
results, which are beyond ques-
tion.

Has Resigned His Post as
Cos sul General at
Havana.
Havana, Cuba, Feb. 22, via Key
West, Fla. Feb. 22.—(Copyright,
New York Herald.)—Consul Gen-
eral Loe ha,8 resigned.
He determined several days
ago to take such a step if he were
not upheld in his efforts to pro-
tect all American citiiens in Cuba.
The Consul General asked the
State Department that he be au-
thorized to demand the release of
citizens of the United States con-
fined iijf Ouban prisons under the
same illegal circumstances as was
the ill-fated Ruiz. Such authori-
zation has not been granted to
him.
Span sh war ships in Cuba wa-
ters have since yesterday been
concentrating in the harbor of
Havana. This is regarded here
as very significant, in view of the
important incidents of the last
few dajs.
Great pressure is being brought
to bear here to make Consul Gen-
eral Lee deny the Jacksonville
dispatch to the effect that the
diplomatic representative of the
United States in Havana had ask-
ed the government to send war-
ships to Cuban waters.
As a pretext for such denial
and as a basis upon which it can
bo founded it is stated that ac-
cording to the dispatch Consul
Lee had asked for a warship to
take him to the United States.
What the Consul General did do,
I can reiterate on the highest au-
thority, was to ask for warships
to support him in his efforts to
protect Americans in peril of
their lives and American interests
which were in jeopardy.
The Jacksonville dispatch,
therefor1, was absolutely correct,
and upon indisputable authority
I can confirm it in every detail.
If necessary, further, I am con-
fident that I can secure the full
official telegram in which Consul
General Lee asked for warships.
Great anxiety is felt at the pal-
ace and in all official circles at
news from Oienfuegos, which
states that that city is the center
of a rerfons mutiny of the Span-
ish troops. Large arrears of pay
are due the army in Cuba, and
the discontent caused by this has
culminated in open disobedience
in the Spanish ranks in the Oien-
foegos District.
The insurgents in the eastern
end of the island have captured
Bay a mo, an important town in
Santiago. Stephen Bonsai.
