creatures, who walked until they became ob-
jects of commiseration. Pedestrian matches
were all the go, so to speak, throughout the
country. Xo picnic or excursion was a com-
plete success without half a dozen alleged
men tramping around in a ring like bears in
a pit. Up in the north even ladies' walking
matches were tolerated by the police.
This peculiar kind of craze died out, only to
he followed by some novel idiocy. The
chances are now that Dr. Tanner will have
the honor of starting a starving craze. If
it is the design or effcct of Dr. Tanner's
performance to divert the attention of the
American people from the study of the
many failings, delinquencies, rascalities and
other presidential qualifications of the
standard-bearers of the two great political
parties, and also, of course, from the green-
back candidate, Gen. Weaver, then he may
justly be regarded as a public enemy.
Nobody has any objection to Dr. Tanner
starving himself to death, if he is satisfied
that thereby he can better his condition;
but when the American citizen is interfered
with in the exercise of a sacred duty by
Dr. Tanner, then it is time for the
police to suppress the emaciated abstinent.
The time for the presidential election is not
far distant, and to vote intelligently, the
American citizen has to devote all his leisure
time to investigating the serious charges
preferred against the unfortunate men
whose moral anatomies are held up for his
inspection. But how is this possible when
every newspaper is tilled with Tanner and
his miserable experiment? Under no cir-
cumstances can anybody but Tanner be
benefited by this experiment. He has al-
ready begun to charge twenty cents admis-
sion. If it were possible for a man to
starve and work at the same time, and Dr.
Tanner were to demonstrate how it could
be done, he might become a public bene-
factor, but it will be observed that the only
active exercise the doctor takes is to sleep,
make a show of himself, and fall off in
weight. This can not well be called hard
work; at least, it is not as hard as plowing
in the field, splitting rails, editing a news-
paper, electioneering for governor, fixing
up conventions and the like, all of which oc-
cupations demand an occasional square meal.
It is evident that working men are not like-
ly to derive much benefit from Dr. Tanner's
experiences. It would not do, for instance,
for a journalist to fast for more than a week,
as Dr. Tanner is described to be at times
exceedingly irritable. If the journalist be-
came exce-dingly irritable, his friends, who
kindly bring hira original poetry or second-
rate advice, might become offended and be-
stow their lyric or didactic boons upon the
rival paper. The public will be very much
in crested in Dr. Tanner's case for several
weeks yet. If he dot s not survive, he will
never again repeat the experiment. There
is a world of comfort in that assurance. If
he does pull through, his success will raise
a legion of hungry imitators. The price of
provisions will go down, but the typical
landlady will become more exaciing than
ever. While it would lie improper n a
family paper like the News to suggest that
some able-bodied ruffian—a New York po-
liceman would do—assist Dr. Tanner w ith
a club, yet we can not help regretting the
fabulous character of the functionary whose
supposed business is to reduce the census of
fools. Of course his existence is a fable, or
Dr. Tanner's non-existence at this moment
would be a fact.

A SUGGESTIVE ED UCA TI ON A L EX-
AMPLE.
The annual report of the board of public
free school commissioners of Baltimore con-
tains much valuable information with refer-
ence to the expenditures, work, condition,
wants and system of the schools in that pro-
gressive city. With a population less than
me-fifth of the population of Texas, Balti-
more had a school oppropriation for 1879 of
$600,000. or about thirty percent, more than
the school appropriation voted in the same
year for the entire state of Texas. It ap-
pears from the report above mentioned that
the superintendent and assistant superinten-
dent visit the schools frequently, carefully
and critically examine all the classes, and
assist both teachers and pupils iu their re-
spective duties. For the purpose of ob-
taining a more thorough knowledge of
their work and the best methods
of obtaining instruction, there are
monthly meetings of the teachers' central
association, and so, by an interchange of
views, there are kept up a concert aDd co-
operation of inestimable value to the teach-
ers and the schools. As in Iowa and other
western states where generous provision is
made for the children o° the poorest, special
attention is paid to shaping the manners of
the pupils, while music, drawing and other
accomplishments are taught gratuitously.
In the course of studies the process of cram-
ming with arbitrary signs and incomprehen-
sible technicalities is abandoned for more
practicable and healthy methods of develop-
ing the faculties. In reading, for instance,
the child is first assisted with representative
objects. As the pupil passes upward the
sentence is made the basis of language-
teaching, and in order to cultivate the
power of expression he is required to re-
produce in simple but correct English the
substance of the day's reading lesson. In
mathematics that science is taught through-
out with reference to its logic. The import-
ance of such improvements over tha old
plans will be fully recognized by anybody
who is aware of the large percentage of
college graduates who, with all their tech-
nical information stored in a lumber-room
memory, are sadly backward in the
most important particulars, such as correct
writing, correct speaking, sound reasoning,
practical aptitude for either induction or
analysis. Baltimore, or. indeed, all Mary
land—for it appears that an efficient system
of instruction exists throughout the entile
state—offers an example which Texas and
Texas cities might honor themselves by em-
ulating with a vigor superior to any super-
ficial or temporary obstacles. In this
connection it may be instructive and profit-
able, as it is certainly pertinent, to note
the sentiments which animate Gov. Carroll,
of Maryland, with respect to universal edu-
cation at the public expense. " As the
great Rhode Island engine in machinery
hall," said Gov. Carroll in a recent address,
" gave life and motion to the countless
looms and the complicated structure around
it, so has the diffusion of knowledge in
spired the genius and quickened the indus-
try of our people. Modern civilization has
decided finally that no nation can afford to
leave the masses of its people in ignorance,
and as they can not educate themselves, the
expense must be borne by to public. This
was, doubtless, the intenti ot those who
framed the government, to. istead of plac-
ing authority in the hands special class,
born to rule as of divine r; :it, they threw
upon the people the necessity for improve-
ment by giving to each one the power of
obtaining the highest honors." The above
has the true ring of a man
fit to be governor; of a man
lookimg to the security of the individual
and to the peace and welfare of society
through the culture of an intelligent and
virtuous citizenship; of a man whose vision
is not obstructed by awful forebodings of
bankruptcy to be precipitated by liberal
provisions for public free schools, while
the young idea, with no aid from the school-
master, is learning to shoot in a dark and
bloody background. It is true that the cities
and rural districts of Texas lack the facili
ties and the experience of the cities and
rural districts of Maryland, and so should
not be expected to undertake to copy in
literal completeness after that state in its
sys»em of education. But Texas and Texas
cities can afford, without delay, to set about
imitating that system in a degree commen
.surate with their abilities, which are suffi-
cient, it may be presumed, if diligently ex
ercised, to guarantee the development into
good citizenship of whatever threatens to
ripen into a crop of young desperadoes.
THE STARVING CRAZE.
Not so very lone ago, the popular craze
was pedestrianism. The papers were filled
with elaborately nauseating accounts of
the doings and sayings of unfortunate I
A MIXED POLITICAL PROBLEM IN
VIRGINIA.
The extent to which independent or col-
lateral issues are likely to figure henceforth
in both national and state politics, may be
judged from recent proceedings of the
Virginia readjusters. For some time the
readjusters hesitated to commit themselves
to the support of auy presidential nominee,
no doubt believing that by putting an inde-
pendent electoral ticket in the field Vir-
ginia's eleven votes might be used as a
powerful lever in the interest of this local
party or coalition. Satisfied, however, of
the preponderating strength of the Cincin-
nati ticket, it appears that Gen. Mahone,
who is regarded as the head and master
spirit of the readjusters, altered the
determination of his party, and the
result was that the Richmond conven-
tion framed an electoral ticket composed
exclusively of white readjusters favorable to
the Cincinnati ticket. That this makes a
dangerous situation for that ticket, how-
ever, is obvious. There are three sets of
electoral candidates before the people, two
committed to Hancock and English and one
to Garfield and Arthur, and it makes no
matter what the aggregate strength of Han-
cock is, the electoral candidates receiving
the highest number of votes will be the
electors chosen. It is hardly to be doubted
that, however the Virginia republicans are
disposed to affiliate with Gen. Mahone on the
local issue of the state debt, they will
vote as a solid phalanx for their presidential
candidates. Recognizing, too, the fact that
the readjusters have a local issue which
overlies any national issue, it is not
at all unlikely that the republicans
will make exactions which, in his
desire to preserve control of the state
government, Gen. Mahone can not well
refuse to concede. It is also feared that, to
preserve his supremacy in the state, he may
be forced to barter away some of the con-
gressional districts, which might prove a
very serious blow to the democratic party,
as such a loss might interfere seriously
with the interests of the party in the general
make-up of the next congress. Assuming,
however, that no concessions of this charac-
ter are made, there are still not wanting con-
ditions to portend that republicans or inde-
pendent candidates may take several
congressional districts in Virginia from the
democrats. It is indeed not unlikely that
the readjusters, in making the politics of
Virginia of paramount importance to the
question of the presidency and of party
predominance in congress, have driven the
democratic party in Virginia between a
Scvlla and Charybdis for the promotion of
their own ends.

What the Interior Paper. Say.
Like Plato, the Houston Age teaches les-
sons of virtue by precept and example, too.
It says: •
Since Tom Cain, of the Bastrop Advertiser,
quit dancing he has had a regular run of cood
luck. Last week he was presented with an
open cotton boll and a fifty pound watermelon.
Who will say the long controversy in the
papers about dancing has borne no good fruit
after this?
The Weimar Piaindealer has been discon
tinued. The material will be taken back to
Columbus, where Messrs. Sandmeyer &
Kennon will start another paper.
The papers of western Texas appear
mostly to favor the re-election of congress
man Upson.
The Thorpe Springs Student has the
thanks of the News for its timely caution
to beware of offending the religious contro-
versialist and mountebank who is prophe
sying the doom of Ninevah to Texas towns
that do not give ear to his denunciations.and
excommunicating newspapers that do not do
him homage. The Student says:
We see the immortal Jacob Dit"Ier charges
the Galveston News with being the organ of
Ingersoll in Texas. The News had better look
out, and not attempt to cross swords with the
learned Jacob. He knows more about all lan
guages, from the confusion of tongues at the
tower of Babel uewn to the present day. than
all the men that ever engaged in making lexi-
cons. He can show by his superior knowledge
of all languages, speech, dialect and jargon,
and his unmatched ability in construction, that
what the News may say in its defense will
prove exactly what Mr. Ditzler charges it
with.
The Mount Pleasant (Titus county) News
says Dr. Ditzler lectured last Sunday night,
in that town against the sin of dancing.
From bis habitual incisive style it may be
inferred that he cut the pigeon wing dead.
He does not confine himself to the small sin
of dancing, but the News says " he han
dies the writing of Huxley, Ingersoll, and
other infidels without gloves."
The Brerham Sentinel says of the forth
coming special editition of the News:
This grand enterprise, going Into three or
four different languages, and an extra supply
of thirty or forty thousand to be distributed
throughout Europe, will be a telling immigra
tion document for Texas.
The democratic papers begin to recognize
the greenbackers as opponents aboat equally
with the republicans. The former show
quite as bold a front as the latter, with a
better chance to carry local elections in some
counties.
Th# Waco Telephone shrinks up under

Congressman Wellborn aspires to a re-nomi-
nation.
Will bell-punch Finlay try for a legislative
place again ?
Garfield takes no chances. He will hold on
to his seuatoivship.
Tom Ochiltree is forninst Garfield, but Eli
Perkins supports him. Honors are easy.
The Caldwell County Register says:
Mr. Gail B. Johnson, editor and proprietor
of that sterling newspaper, the Houston Post,
called to see us last Tuesday. He is spending
a few weeks at Burditfc's wells, recuperating
his health from over-mental and physical work
connected with his paper at Houston.
The young editor and publisher must learn
to moderate his labors and cares. A man
may soon break himself down witft news-
paper work if he is so disposed.
The Cleburne Avalanche says:
Hon. Joseph D. Sayers, it must be remem-
bered, was the champion of free schools in the
last legislature. This is the right man to carry
the free-school standard in the coming con-
test.
Is the Avalanche quite sure Savers was a
member of the last legislature ? Some peo-
ple think he was lieutenant governor.
"An occasional correspondent" of the
Morgan Journal writes an article in opposi
tion to the policy of governor Roberts for
the sale of the public lands of the state, and
that paper says editorially :
Freemen are not inclined to cast their for-
tunes in localities owned and controlled by
landed monopolies; and in any case it is not the
part of true statesmanship"* to risk enslaving
posterity for the purpose of shirking present
taxation for the maintenance of the schools,
while even the present welfare of the state is
not consulted thereby. If we could sell these
lands in large bodies for colonies there would
be some satisfaction in it.
Newspapers and citizens, in complaining
of the imperfections and maladministration
of the laws in this country, often refer to
England as affording a far better, and bet-
ter administered, system of laws than Amer-
ica. About the same evils complained of
in this country are made the cause of com-
plaint in that. The London Law Times, in
alluding to the delay and cost of litigation
in England, mentions the following as
among the causes:
P eadings, which practice the judicature
acts have to all intents and purposes preserved;
the central, instead of the local admii. stra ion
of justice; the interests ?»n<l privileges of the
bar: the system by which solicitors are remu-
nerated; the practice of the judges in grant-
ing new trials: the unnecessarily large rees
o^ten received by counsel, and allowed on tax-
ation; the scale of costs drawn w th a distinct
view of encour aging solicitors to employ coun
sel. instead of vice ver a: the delay in dealing
with the high com* of just^e; the uncertainty
of the law as at present administered, in the
ab-ence 01 a code, and in view of the enormous
accumulation of case law, anr by ivbi- i ;iLi-
gation sometimes becomes little better uian a
gambling speculation.
The Sherman Courier states that" Culber-
son say the: 1 is about as much ciiam for
Dohonev to get to congress as there is for
Lang or Sayers to beat the old alcaide, 01
for Dohoney to be it some good democrat,
neither of which is possible."
The Sherman Chronicle has " met up
with " and interviewed the champion tramp
of that ilk:
He had traveled England all over. France all
over, ScoMan . all over, Wales all over, Switz-
erland a.l over, Turkey, Russia, Austria,
Spain, been at it forty years. Was still at it.
Just traveled from Maine to Florida, from
Florida to Texas.
Dickens's legend "move on'' is a good
one to address to travelers of this descrip-
tion.
The Jewett Advance copies and apparent-
ly approves5 the remark of the Waco Tele-
phone:
The Texas papers are having a great deal to
say of the needed reforms in the judiciary sys-
tem of the state. The first step should be the
abolition of the elective feature. Where a
man must depend on personal favor for elec-
tion, there is no man—not one—brave enough
in every instance to do exactly what he thinks
is right, regardless of the effect on the pop-
ular mind.
An article is traveling the rounds of the
state press ostensibly in regard to the enor-
mous cost of raising hogs in Texas, but
rather in regard to the amount sent out of
the country for hog products. Hogs are
raised cheaply in Texas. It is root piggy or
die. Mast costs nothing and a great many
hogs are raised by the light of the moon,
which cost the consumers nothing.
The Thorps Springs Student mildly puts
the News to the inquisition on the way of
naming "the religious body popularly
known as Campbellites," and asks:
When did we ever claim that the religious
body in question has the exclusive right to the
name christian? It has been prominent in the
labors of that church for the last sixty years,
to try to induce all religious bodies "to drop
their human, party names, and take the name
christian alone. They are far from wishing to
claim the name to the exclusion of others; but
do contend they have a right to wear that
name. It is a matter of conscience with them,
and it is not agreeable to them to be called by
the name of any man, even though he should
be an apostle of Christ.
The Christian Messenger says, "if Christ
were here now preaching, the baptist
preachers would call him a Campbellite."'
In mentioning the fact that Col. F. B.
Sexton, of Marshall, Texas, has issued a
circular declaring that he will be a candi-
date before the state democratic convention
at Dalles, for the office of judge of the
court of appeals, the Nacogdoches News
says:
Col. Sexton is an old settler and one of the
most renouned lawyers of eastern Texas, and
with the experience he has had, we think, ren-
ders him fully qualified for the position.
The Cincinnatus of the west" now
lives in Cameron county. The Cosmopoli-
tan says:
Mr. Mansur, formerly of the Ranchero, con-
templates becoming a ranchero himself now.
He intends to stock his place with the savage
anduntamabie chicken."
Is the ex-editor well posted on the live
stock question? A burro or ostrich rancho
might pay better. The grasing is good for
the long-eared stock in the most arid re-
gions of western Texas, while in some sec-
tions the ground affords such an abundant
crop of pebble stones that ostriches would
keep fat the year round.
The Paris North Texan publishes a some-
what singular document in the way of
diplomatic correspondence. The Indian
territory is called a nation, and in some
matters outranks the " sovereign states"
of the union. It deals with the general
government by treaty, like one independent
power dealing with another. Tlie federal
constitution declares that citizens of each
state shall be entitled to all the privileges
and immunities of citizens in the several
states, but says nothing as to their rights in
territories, or the Indian nation. A some-
what novel question, with three corners to
it, has come up between the state of Texas,
or rather Denton county, the United States
and the Indian territory, so-called, though
the latter does not appear as a party by
the xecord. Senator Maxey, it appears, some
time since addressed a letter to the Ameri-
can secretary of state, requesting the opi-
nion of this department on the subject of
franchises for ferries and bridges across Red
river, from the bank on the Texas side to
that on the north, which is inhabited by In
dians who have been placed on reservations
by this government. The secretary replied
that as no part of the territory adverted to
is now foreign, the department has no direct
concern in it, and would prefer to abstain
from expressing the opinion asked; but
added the expression of the opinion that the
subject is an important one certainly in the
near future, and that it is advisable that it
should be definitely adjusted as soon as may
be practicable, and referring the senator to
the secretary of the interior, who has charge
of the Indian business, and with whom
primarily rests whatever may be done in
regard to the matter by the executive gov-
ernment, and adding that some special au-
thority from congress might be necessary to
bring the business to a satisfactory conclu
sion. In response to the application to the
latter department, the secretary incloses to
the senator the opinion of the acting com
missioner of Indian affairs, in which he
eluded navigation, and that the power to regu-
late commerce was a power to regulate navi-
gation. From the nature of the subject to be
regulated, involving as it necessarily must,
trafic and intercourse with the Indian tribes,
and in view of the existing laws regulating
that intercourse, I am of the opinion that the
state of Texas can only exercise the right to
establish a ferry across the Red river to the
Indian territory subject to the paramount
authority of congress, as being a matter m ith-
in the sphere of the commercial power which
belongs to the nation.
RE2TOVAE OF GOV. THROCKMORTON.
The Trntli of Hlntory Vindicated.
(To the News.]
As the coming campaign opens, would it not
be as well for public discussions to start off
with correct propositions? There is one sub-
ject to which I beg leave to call the attention
of the average Texas democratic orator, on
which much mistification exists, the removal of
Gov. Throckmorton by Gen. Sheridan. Might
it not be as well to give all the facts in this
case? With your leave. I ask permission to do
so, as the whole truth will hurt nobody, and
may do some good, besides saving much super-
fluous breath in the present, can vass. At tlie
time of the removal* of Gov. Throckmorton,
that official was ineligible to office, by opera-
tion of the recently adopted fourteenth amend-
ment to the constitution of the United States.
He, not resigning, some legal action had to be
takeu to remove him from office. His reten-
tion of authority was a clear and manifest
violation of the constitution of the United
States. His resignation would, have been a
recognition of that authority, and have done
away with the imperative necessisty for his
removal. His removal by Gen. Sheridan was
a military enforcement of the highest law of
the land—the constitution of the United States
—which Gov. Throckmorton violated by hold-
ing and exercising the office of governor. He
was, in law, an usurper, and Texas, at the
time, being under military law, the only way
to remove him was by the action of the mili-
tary authorities, which was done in accordance
with law. I think this correction and truth-
ful statement of an event in our history,
which has been clouded with misrepresenta-
tion for many years, might be consistenly
made at this time without damage to any
party, and I ask, therefore, the publication of
this article in order to accomplish that end.
