Department oe Education.)
Austin Tex. Jan. 21 1890.J
To His Excellency the Governor of Texos
Austin Texas;
Dear Sir : The communication
from Hon. W. H. Crain M. C under
date of January 1890 addressed to
vou and referred by you to the depart
ment of education has been duly re
ceived and in pursuance with your
request the following answers are
furnished from omcial data to the
questions propounded by Mr. Crain:
1. The scholastic population of the
state of Texas for the fiscal year end-
ine August 31 1889. is 523110.
2. The scholastic population is di
vided with reference to color in the
proportion of one negro child to three
white children.
3. The amount of public money ex
pended during the fiscal year ending
August 31 l8ty tor educational pur
poses from school funds was 2998-
347.39. To this amount should be
added expenditures from funds de-
rived from sales of bonds in cities and
towns for building and equipping
school houses $300000 making a
total expenditure for educational pur-
poses $3298347.39. This amount
does not include the expenditures for
the State University the Agricultural
aud Mechanical college and the Deaf
and Dumb and Blind asylums which
aggregate $200000 giving a total of
S3. 498 347 .3SJ.
4. No distinction is made on the
basis of color in the distribution of the
school fund such distinction being
forbidden both by the organic and
statutory law and as a matter of fact
none has been made.
5. The proportion of taxes levied
for school purposes paid by the col
ored taxpayers of the state is about
one thirty-third ol the entire amount
of taxes levied ami paid tor tins pur-
nose.
6. One state normal school the Sam
Houston Normal institute is support
ed by the state for the education of
white teachers and one state normal
school the Prairie View institute is
sumwrted bv the state for the educa
tion of colored teacners. ine annual
state appropriations to these schools
pay the salaries of the faculties of the
schools and furnish scholarships to
about 200 students in addition. The
buildings and grounds of the normal
school for the negroes are superior to
those of the normal school supported
for white teachers.
7. During the past ten years the
public school system of this state lias
been built up practically ab initio so
that the average school term of the
state is about o 8-10 months and the
average salaries of the teachers about
$45.00 per month which is about $4.00
more than the average in the United
States. The' steady growth of the
public school sentiment is conclu-
sively shown by the extension of local
taxation by which the state and county
fundb are being supplemented.
8. The permanent school fund of
the state is increasing at the rate of
about $1000000 per annum. The
annual receipts of school funds are
increasing by the interest on this in-
crease of the permanent school fund
of the state the increase of the per-
manent county school fund and by
the extension of local taxation in
school districts. The annual expen-
ditures for school purposes for the
fiscal year ending August 31 1889 ex-
ceeded the expenditures for the year
ending August 311888 about $400.
I have the honor to be yours very
respectfully Oscar H. Cooper .

The Confederate Home.
Austin Tex. January 22 1890.
To the Editor of the Statesman :
Your correspondent being an ex-
Confederate soldier and by accident
having spent today in the city of the
fine and big capitol and the site of the
Confederate Home was induced to-
visit the Home not for mere curiosity
but to see it as it is a remuneration
for the past services of the veterans of
the lost cause. I was agreeably sur-
prised by finding it a great improve-
ment upon their quarters of days long
since past and especially their rations
as fowls were numerous in the camp
and undisturbed but not a hog in
sight ; which brought most vividly to
recollection the mortality of swine in
and near camps during the late unpleas
antness and to the good name of the
Home I can cheerfully say there was
not a hog skin in sight and no soldier
on double duty. But all was quiet
with no arms stacked nor fatigue
parties reporting to superior officers
and none marked from roll call. All
appeared content and apprehended
no forced marches nor short rations
being surrounded with comforts and
all spoke well of the Home. None of
them were particularly known to
your correspondent but upon return-
ing to the city I recognized upon the
streets my old comrade Bill Taylor
whom I had not seen for twenty-six
years and knew him on first sight.
1 can say to all who oppose or ques
tion the comforts of the inmates lot
them visit the Home and they will be
convinced of its merits. Armuche.
BisShipment of Cattle.
Major Brackenridge and others
members of the Travis County Beef-
erowers' association vesterday shipped
thirteen carloads of tine beeves to
Chicago. Charlie Caldwell and others
expect to ship a train of beeves to the
same city in about two weeks.
The County Court.
The following cases were disposed
of yesterday Hon. J.M. Brackenridge
presiding :
State vs. Tom Ripmonte continued
to January 28th.
The probate motion docket will be
called today 25th.
Discharged from Custody.
Yesterday Henry Wilson a crazy
negro was discharged from custody.
He is considered dangerous at times
and it will be well to keep an eye out
for him.
That Galveston Tragedy.
Indignation over the Galveston
tragedy was universal here in the city
yesterday and very earnest language
was used in denouncing the peace of-
ficers who had charge of Terry Parker
and the other attached witnesses. The
opinions as expressed were to the
effect that each of the aforesaid offi
cers should be given a leather meda
and pensioned oft' to pass their days
in some secluded spot.

vail in England today. At several places

London January 23. The Earl of Gallo-
way who was acquitted last October of
having assaulted a little girl named Gibson
was arrested in Glasgow yesterday on a
charge of accosting and molesting a 16-year-old
girl named Margaret Brown. It
was alleged that the earl persisted in fol-
lowing the girl hut that he only whispered
to her once. He was admitted to bail in
the sum of 10 for a hearing today when
he was ariaigned before a magistrate who
dismissed the charge on the ground that
the alleged offense was not proved.
THE WEST END SCANDAL.
LoNDONjJanimry 23. The defense in the
case of Newton Taylor son and DeGalla
charged with conspiring to defeat justice
in connection with the West End scandal
was opened today Mr. Gill who appeared
for the accused commented upon the po-
lice of the government for allowing Ham-
mond proprietor of the Cleveland street
house to escape and taking young scoun-
drels at night around to the club houses to
whisper men's characters away and for
ottering Newton as a sacrifice to atone to
the public for delay. The prisoners were
committed for trial. They were subse-
quently admitted to bail in the sum of 100
eacu.
WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
General Statement of the Condition of the
Bnsineits'of the Country.
New York January 24. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review ot trade says: Business has
decidedly a more favorable appearance.
Colder weather has brought a general in-
crease of activity and improvement in col
lections. Heavy disbursements for bonds
have brought easier money markets and
several troublesome labor controversies
have been adjusted. Speculation is still
restricted and moderate in value. .
The woolen business has been a little im-
proved for all grades by colder weather and
is fairly active for super cassiiueres and
worsted with some gains in heavier
woolens but sales are still narrow and
cautious and concessions are noted in terri
tory wool at Boston where the wool sales
were but 332100 pounds.
Speculation in cotton has marked up the
price half a cent.
The boot and shoe trade is rather better
while hides remain low and slow. No
improvement.
The trade in rubber goods is moderate;
lumber and building material are iii steady
demand.
Grain speculation halts and with sales
of only 12000000 bushels wheat is c
lower with corn Jc lower for the week the
sales having been 12500000 bushels. Oats
have risen lc while oil has advanced lc.
Raw sugar is unchanged but crushed o
lower.
Except in cotton speculative markets
show no unhealthy activity though money
here has been deefdedly easier.

A TBOUBLESOME ARABIAN.
The Consul General of Turkey After Sheriff
White.
Entering Sheriff White's office last
afternoon the reporter discovered
Sheriff White and deputy Brown with
heads together pouring over a docu-
ment which had a huge blue seal
on it.
Sheriff White was evidently con-
siderably disturbed while Brown was
pale and ghastly.
"Anything the matter?" asked the
reporter.
"Anything the matter? Well I
should say there was" feebly
articulated Sheriff White while
Brown growled dismally : "We 'may
have the whole Ottoman empire
seraglio harems and all over here like
a thousand of brick."
"Or we may be yanked across the
waters to Turkey" sighed Brown
and be locked up in a harem and"
"Our goose be cooked" interposed
Sheriff White. "It's all about
that Arabian arrested the other
day." And then the sheriff
groaned and then Brown
groaned and then both looked at the
document with its blue seal and
groaned in concert " Here's the docu-
ment you can read it for yourself"
and Sheriff White handed the reporter
the following which he received
through the mails yesterday :

THE LATE TRAGEDY.
Calvin Blakely Indicted Other Jaybirds
Will Apply for Bail.
Gaiaestom Tex. January 24. Calvin
Blakely one of the Jaybirds arrested and
held for carrying concealed deadly weap-
ons in connection with the Gibson-Terry
homicide and released yesterday on a bond
of $300. returned this evening and surren-
dered himself to the sheriff.
It seems that after Blakely left for home
yesterday he was indicted .or assault with
intent to murder. Hearing of it. he at
once returned and gave himself up. The
grand jury also found an indictment
against Judge J. W. Parker for carrying
concealed deadly weapons. The parties so
far here yet for complicity in the tro;?dy
of last Wednesday are Volner Gibson

ment attendant upon the killing subsides
application for bond through habeas cor-
pus will be made by the prisoners.

HOETICULTTJEISTS.
PARTICULARS REGARDING THE GRAND
EXCURSION OF THE AMERICAN
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Their Seseioa In Ann tin and Probable
Kxcuralon About the State Dr. John
Clark Rldpath to Be Here.
The following is from the Southern
Horticultural Journal of Denison :
The ninth regular meeting of the
American Horticultural society will be
held in the hall of representatives in
the Capitol building in the city of
Austin Texas beginning at 10 o'clock
a. m. on Monday the 17th day of
February 1890 and continuing in
session four or five days. Members of
the society and horticulturists gener-
ally are invited to attend this impor-
tant meeting which bids fair to excel
all its predecessors in general interest.
WHY THE SOCIETY MEETS IN TEXAS.
At the close of the great California
meeting of this society it was decided
to hold this meeting in Texas because
of the many cordial invitations pre
sented by members who were present
from Texas and the many other writ-
ten invitations from the governor of
the Lone Star State and numerous
prominent citizens and officials; and
because of the widely diversified inter-
est represented in her vast territory
and varied soils and products which
we desired to see and investigate for
ourselves. For these reasons we think
that all who attend this meeting will
oe gratified with its results and well
repaid for time and expense in doing so.
PLAN OF THE MEETING.
It is not expected that the society
will be able to complete its business
sessions in less than five days. It is
therefore arranged to open the exer-
cises at 10 o'clock a. m. on Monday
the 17th and to continue in session
until Friday the 21st after which it is
expected that we will spend a week or
ten days as guests of the people of
Texas who will entertain us after a
plan of their own. i
The above is but a part of Secretary
Ragan's announcement of general pro-
gramme of the excursion to the meet
ing all we have space for in this is
sue ; as it was received too late to pub-
lish all. To answer in a general way
and all at once the many inquiries
torn the different places wishing to
entertain the excursionists while in
the state we suggest the following
outlined route :
As the executive board of the so
ciety after arranging for the meeting
and transportation to and return
from Austin for visitors from outside
of the state leave the citizens of Texas
to further "entertain the excursionists
after a plan of their own" for a week
or ten days after February 21 the
closing day of) the meeting it is
suggested that San Antonio first in
vile the excursionists there to what-
ever entertainment it may arrange for
one day and to secure for the excur
sion the most favorable transporta
tion from Austin to San Antonio.
That Houston and Galveston like
wise arrange for the excursion from
San Antonio to these cities.
That Waco Fort Worth Denison
Dallas and Tyler successively in the
order named provide whatever they
choose for the visitois.
If the railways of the route outlined
will do the nice thing as did those in
California two years ago for the so
ciety they will devote a special train
to the work and send special excusion
conductors. But the cities giving the
entertainments will have to do their
part toward securing transportation
accommodations.
As the excursion comes in by way
of the Iron Mountain route and pro
ceeds direct to Austin through Pales
tine that city may induce a very short
stop there by at once writing Secretary
W.H. Ragan Grnencastle Ind. and the
managers of the excursion.
The above is merely suggestive and
not a fixed arrangement. Everything
after the meeting must be worked out
by the cities visited themselves.
Dr. John Clark Bidpath a well
known historian will accompany the
National Horticultural society in
their visit to Austin. He is besides
a most interesting lecturer and will
lecture here and in addition to the
lecture will write a sketch of the trip
as he did of the California excursion
entitled "Beyond the Sierras." Dr
Bidpath has a national rcnii tation Jand
to hear him lecture will be a treat
not often enjoyed in Austin. Of his
"Beyond the Sierras" the Green-
castle. Illinois Banner publishes a
letter from Mr. James Newton Mat
thews a popular poet of Illinois in
which he says: "I have just been
reading 'Beyond the Sierras.' It is a
most remarkably well written work
even surpassing Bayard Taylor in its
elegance of diction and its scope of
scholarly characteristics. That poem
embraced in it entitled The Mirage
in Death Valley' is unspeakably
beautiful almost as fine as Kent's
'Ode to a Grecian Urn.' "
NeUle Bly.
Chicago 111. January 24. Nellie Bly ar-
rived in this city at 8 o'clock this morning
two hours ahead of time. At Joiiet she
was met by a small delegation representa-
tives of the press. Upon her arrival she
was driven to the rooms of the Chicago
Press .'lub where she held an Informal re-
ception until 9:15. In company with rep-
resentatives of the World she then break-
fasted at Kinsley's and at 10:30 got on the
I'eiinslyva.iia express for New York.
