"Texas shows more evidences of

general expression made by tourists
visiting the State.

lished at Victoria, Texas, by C. L.

The act in regard to the expendi-
tures of school funds approved by
the governor on la*t Thursday, is
deemed by the department of educa-
tion one of the most important school
I measures passed in recent years. All
superintendents, trust** and school
treasurers will be specially interested
in the law. The act is given in full
below:
To regulate and limit the expenditure
of state, county and local school
funds, and to regulate treasurers'
reports thereof.
Kkction. 1. Be it enacted by the
| legislature of the State of Texas.
hereafter
pt ftt.r the
■) following purposes.
I First—The slate available s«Aool
feuds shall be used exclusively for
the payment of teachers' and su|*jr-
incidents' salaries and fees for tak-
i:ig the scholastic census.
Second—The county available
school funds shall be used exclusive-
ly for the payment of teachers' and
superintendents' salaries, and forth#
payment of fees for taking the
scholastic census.
Third—Local school funds from
district taxes, tuition fees of pupils
not entitled to free tuition, and other
local sources, may be used for the
purposes enumerated for state and
county funds, and for purchasing ap-
pliances and supplies, for the pay-
ment of insurance premiums, janitors
and other employes, for building
school site9, buying, building, re-
pairing and renting schoolhouses,
and for other puposes necessary in
the conduct of public schools, to be
determined by the board of trustees,
the accounts and vouchers for coun-
ty districts and communities to be
approved by the county superinten-
dent; provided that when the stale
available school fluids in any city or
county is sutlicient to maintain the

That the liquor habit is growing
weaker among the American people
is shown by the recent statement of I thereof in any year for at least
the commissioner of internal revenue months, and have a surplus
that during the past year there has
been a decrease of nearly (5,000,000
gallons in the consumption of whisky
and other spirits and of 1,40.3,004
barrels in the consumption of beer.
Willi one exception, the governors
of all the states receive a definite
salary, without the addition of fees
or perquisites. The except?
the
governor of Oregon, who gets 81500
cash and some extras. His is the
smallest salary paid any governor of
an American state, except the gov-
ernor of Vermont, who gets 81500
without any extras.
The Colorado Citizen hits the nail
square on the head. "The hard times
are not entirely without compensa-
tion ; the farmers are learning to live
at home and hoard at the same place.
Willi a diversity of crops, the pro-
duction of the necessaries at home
and home productions to exchange
for Vbe luxuries, he is simply the

The Navasota Kxaminer says:
"The prompt administration of jus-
tice in Europe is the reason Judge
Lynch is never known there. When
villainous criminals are handled in a
quick, firm manner in the l ulled
States a like condition will come
about--but not till then," and adds,
"there are plenty of cold-blooded
murderers in Texas jails awaiting the
pleasure of the slow, poke-easy
courts. Such procedure and lynch-
ings go hand in hand—are but legit-
imate consequences."
may be expended for the purposes
mentioned herein.
Skc. 2. All treasurers receiving
or having control of any school funds
shall keep a full and separate item-
ized account with each of the differ-
ent classes of the school funds com-
ing into his hands, and shall, on or
before the first day of October of
each year, file with the stjjte super-
intendent of public instruction an
itemized report, in duplicate, of the
receipts and disbursements of the
school funds for the preceeding
school year ending August Ul, which
report and duplicate shall be en the
prescribed form furnished by the de-
partment of education ; and the du-
plicate report, after examination by
the state superintendent, shall be re-
turned to the commissioners' court
of the proper county for approval,
and shall lie accompanied by such
suggestions or recommendations as
the slate superintendent may make
iu regard to same. The state super-
intendent, in examining any report,
may call for the vouchers, and make
such investigation of the correctness
ami legality of the different items as
he may deem necessary; and when
duplicate is sent to the commis-
sioners' court all vouchers shall be
presented to the court; and the pre-
sent law in regard to treasurers' re-
ports, except as hereinbefore modi-
lied, is hereby continued.
Skc. 3. All laws, general and
special, in conflict with this act, are
hereby repealed.
Skc. 4. The near approach of the
close of the special session, and the
importance of providing some ade-
quate method by which the public
schools of the state may be supplied
with the necessities for their proper
conduct, creates an emergency and
an imperative public necessity that
the constitutional rule requiring bills
to be read on three several days be
suspended, and that this act take
effect from and after its passage and
it is so enacted.
A North Texas politician who wan
in Austin last week, expressed to a
representative of the Statesman, the
opinion that next to Lanham, Sayers
is decidedly the strongest man in the
race for governor, lie said, among
other tilings, "the people don't like
Crane, for his very coldness of de-
meanor estranged them. 1'hat if a
man was on Crane's side he was all
Htinshine to him, but if he happened
to be on the other side, then nothing
but black clouds were to be seen on A Navasota man on being brought

THE PROGRESS OF TEXAS.
Colonel lVter Sells, the veteran
showman, Is [lending his vacation in
Texas. He comes to Texas every
year and wails for his circus. The
latter is in Massachusetts now and
will enter this state early in Octo-
ber.
Colonel Sells said to a correspon-
dent .• "Texas is one of the greatest
states i.i the union. 1 like the climate
ami 1 like the people. 1 do not feel
right unless 1 get down here in July
or August for a stay of two or three
months. The rains that have been
falling during the last few days make
me smile as though I was a farmer.
They mean more cotton for the world
and more money for Texas. No one
who comes to Texas regularly can
fail to notice the signs of progress
everywhere 'apparent. It is some-
thing marvelous. I have been visit-
ing the stale for years and have seen
it advance from a hslf-settled com-
munity to the enviable position of
one of the mightiest commonwealths
in the union. All this progress has
not been lost upon the world. Peo-
ple everywhere are talking about
Texas. The state's fame has spread
as far as 1 have been, ami I get over
a considerable territory. And the
Texans are as grand as their state. I
feel at home down here and have
never regretted a single trip to the
slate."
The Texas State Democrat, (Aus-
tin, Texas,) has this to say of Major
Sayers: It goes without saying that
Mr. Sayers will have Travis county's
support. He is, of the two men,
much the better qualified. His ex-
perience is to his advantage. Hy na-
ture he is more genial and less sus-
ceptible to the influence of power.
He is the cooler of the two men,
more judicial, more conservative.
He is allied with no faction, related
to no radical measures. He is one
of the few men who have ever been
consistent democrats without becom-
ing entangled with party disagree-
ments. He has preserved the full
power of his influence and usefulness
and yet never occasioned a suspicion
of his loyalty. He is the one man
just at this time eminently qualified
to inspire confidence, allay suspicions
and build up the strength of demo-
cracy. Without offering compromise
to the bolters from democracy, he
can disarm them or align them in the
service of the party. Joseph I).
Sayers ought to be and will he the
nexl Governor of Texas.
