Repeated references to the situation In these and as indicated in last two no- ttces, the ctown of victory has fallen upon Colonel Kichard Cocke, throufh the efforts of his friends, supplemented bv the merits of their champion.

The appointment will doubtless prove a. one, ana in making it the governor 3ie done credit to his administration. General Cocke is a native Texan, an enthusiastic and thorough military man. He was born In Hellvllle, A i coum.y. ISfic, and with Ills ilrst breath inhaled the smoke of battle and Ills tirs; hearing caught the tocsin of war.

He grew up w-lth- the boys of his nucive heath and adon amouy them took the place of leader. the country school he stood invariably at the upuer end of his class, iiater he attended the old Texas military institute. with such men as Colonel J. S. nice ana CaptaJn A.

Baker, and many of the other 1 of to-day, who got there the roundwork of military rife. Prom there entered the business walks of life, but carried with him that love of military 'that remain to the end of life. -He came to Houston and one of the first things he did was join the light guard, and later helped 'them win a name, the glory of -which dazzled for a time the citizen soldiery of the United States. He drilled tnwn, -holding down "pivots" In the ranks before they ever, went out of. Texas.

He was a member when they fa'ter went to New Orleans on their first trip, and itt of their great interstate victorSes, first. in Houston, where he held down the responsible 'position of No. 1 of the first file of four's, and participated in tht- glories that victory over some of the best 'companies in the union.

He is an excellent dic- cipllnarian, a gallant soldier' and a thoroughly posted officer. SCHOOL. BOARD MEETING. The special meeting of the public scho.oJ board, which waa held this -week, was of mpre. than, usual importance not alone for -what waa disposed of but largely the matter considered and the views set forth touching it.

The course of study in the public bchools the lowest grade to the graduating class covers a period" of eleven years, of -which time four years are consumed in the high school and seven before that time. THie discussion wan df a plan to arrange the studies 'so that the same ground could -be covered In ten years. The most feasible and at the isame time a remunerative. plan to the 'pupU was to do the work nwv done in seven In six This was not decided on, but there appeared to be a preponderance of opinion in favor of that idea. The belief is that it iwill be entirely practicable and more 'beneficial to fche inasmuch as it w'll 'n- duce greater mental exercise, and hence produce larger -mental individuality There n-ere thrse vacancies filled by the election of teachers.

The three stations of Mathls, La Frulta and Wade' expect to ship about 1000 carloads.

T. L' iiniUules In Its ranks many o. the best people, socially and morally, of Austin. A good many of them.are not disposal to meddle in politics. Their trouble In forming conclusions and formulating resolutions is that they are liable to get off without a knowledge of the facts.

It is observed that they have practically withdrawn their charges against the governor and that the local ofllcers are held accountable. What they withdrew igalnst the' governor should probably also bo withdrawn as to the local officers. They state these officers ousht not to Have signed a petition unless it contained a proviso that the people who were condemned should not resume their guilty practices. With- this proviso it appears they been satisfied to the erring sin ners loose to sin no more. It is, however, generally understood that a i i a pardon cry-emission is invalid as to the condition.

Such a proviso has only a moral effect, so that when the condemned arc turned loose upon society, unless the W. C. T. U. take hold of them and stiffen up their moral backbone and furnish them, or help to furnish them, other and better avocations, there is no practical resuit.

from the proviso. The good'ladies have been misled In this case and are believed to have been cruelly deceived In their bald declaration as to the existence of "open and well known dens of infamy in our city, so well known to our officers." If these dens exist the ladles know it Is in violation of law. 'They should point them out to the grand juries. Officers cognizant of their existence ought to be prosecuted for not enforcing the law against ttfem. This condition calls for action bv the ladles and resolutions effect no good The is the only censor of public morals.

Denunciations have no other result than to besmirch fhe elty, especially when thev are wanting in specific allegations. The Women's Christian Temperance union or Austin have now modified their views, as expressed In resolutions some ten days ago as to action In the Maynard pardon. The following is given out as their latest official pronunclamento: Whereas, a copy of the petition in the now well known Maynard case having been brought before the union and carefully inspected and considered, and. Whereas, this petition was signed by the- sheriff, county judge, county commissioners, deputy county clerk, county treasurer, tax assessor, county clerk, clerk of the district court, constable and iWhereas, had the union known that this petition was accessible and could be inspected, by them the late resolutions anent the governor of Texas would have been modified, and desiring above all things to be just: therefore, be It Resolved, that we. regret and deplore the action of county officials in 1 yielding to pressure and recklessly placing their names on a petition that is so demoralizing to our-citizens, and for not placing a proviso In said petition that the fine should be remitted on the condition that these people abandon their Iniquitous business.

Resolved, that we, as mothers of sons and daughters, must-anil do protest against the open and well known dens of Infamy In our city, so'welr fenojv'n to our officers, and which are traps leading our children to destruction, and we, as wives and mothers, ask our officers to enforce the laws and remove the dangers that threaten our loved ones.

Indianapolis, July General Karcham says Che building and loan associations of the state might as well make up their minds to list for taxation the $6,000,000 of paid'up stock they have ssued. He has been called on for advice several times since Lhe decision of the court was announced, and has said to nembers of county boards of treview that le would pursue one policy -in dealing with associations that refuse to give Information in regard to the holders of paid up stock, and that would-be to put on the -tax duplicate the amount of the association's authorized capital stock. This, te says, should be done and the associa- ions should have opportunity to get the tssessment off -the duplicate if thev can Phe letters received show -that there is controversy In nearly e.very county over bhe assessment of paid up In many nstances secretaries df associations have refused to answer the questions anil the rjoirds have written to the state board for advice. It seems certain that the question will go into -the courts ana that -the su- jreme court be called upon early In fall to say whether or not associations an be compelled to furnish the names of' lersous who own paid up stock and. the owned by each.
