by the great Pennsylvania poteptate. II
this be refused him, he must have local feed,
ers TO his trunk line. He must build q
branch down the Sabine to the Gull
from Marshall, that St. Louis, through Dem
ison and through Arkansas, over SCOTS
lines, may have another seaport on the
Gull, and this new road would reduce

than the, Texas and Pacific, aud I was
sorry to see that what | interpreted
as hostility to North Texas ac,u ated many
OF the minority. This was evidenced not
only by the line of argument pursued in
this chamber, but by the wording OF an act
then pending, section of which reads as
follows: - sAA
No part Of the public domsiu shall be
granted to- any railroad company for the
building of any railroad in any caunty
wherein a railroad has already been COM
pleted, and is in operation - - -
Under this section nearly every county
bordering ON Red River would have been
deprived of all State aid IN building rail-
roads, and the counties that had taxed their
energies in paying subsidies or order to re-
ceive railroads would have been deprived
Of their share of the public domain.

Mr. Bsker then arose and. in obedience
to the wishes of the members and officers
of the House, presented the Speaker, Hon.
I. r. Bonner, on their behalf, with cane
as a testimonial of their appreciation of his
services and the esteem In which he was
held by them.
Mr.. Bakerispoke as follows:
Mr. Spedker--I am commissioned by the
! members and officers of the House of Rep
resentalives of the Fifteenth Legislature OF
the State of Texas to present to you the
cane which hold N my hand.
Under circumstances like these, 1t will
not be. regarded as indelicate for me to
mention, in moderate terms, some of the
virtues we conceive you to possess, and to
give expression TO our satisfaction with
your conduct as our chief officer; which
two considerations lead US to pay you this
additional compliment. We assembled in
this hall on the eighteenth day of April of
the present year with authority from the
| people of our several districts to act to-
! gether and in concert with the Senate, sit
ting in the other end of this building, in
tnt enactment Of SUCH laws as would be
most beneficial to our young but growing
and prosperous State and ats people. Il
was necessary for Us To select from oul
midst some Que whom We could trust
to preside over our deliberations, and by
our ballots the position, accompanied with
| its honors and encountered with its respon-
sibihties, fell upon yourself. 1t is no mean
compliment to be chosen Speaker of the
lower house of Texas Legislature; neithel
are the lsbors and responsibilities attached
10 that high place Of suoh character q,
that they deserve only momentary consider

THE DOoToRs HAVE DONE 1T.

The masses Of the people will gladly
learn that one original feature of the restric-
tive scheme of government vouchsafed to
Texas by intelligent (O patriotism is every
where approved. Even the great profess
sional journal, The Medical Times, of Phil
sdelphia, is pleased to say that while East
erh people are accustomed to look upon
Texas as sort Of outlying province of Wig
orous growth separating civilization. from
Indian barbarism," it is found that the
medical profession OF Texas have taken a
long stride in advance of that of other
States. The law elsewhere suffers doctors
to come into existence, as did Topsy, who
''growed," aad the profession is as igno
rant and sublimely stupid as was Topsy.
But Texas is the first of States
to recognize in its organic code
the necessity for the protection of the
lives and morals of the people against the
vices and incapacity of quacks. We may
suggest parenthetically that a physician
has infinitely more to do with the souls of
households he frequents than the preach
er who savings round the circle" once
a week or month in pursuit of ''chicken
pie" and under the new code higher
standard OF morals and OF intelligence will
lie recognized, and thus the Constitution
of Texas, in this behalf, protects alike the
lives and souls and decency of the people.
The Texas law formerly compelled each
physician to register his name and designate
the school by which he was graduated; but
this scheme failed of its purpose. since
'diplomas," with seals and signatures ap-
pended, were hawked about for sale at ten
provided by the law jHst enacted.
The State Medical Association, at it's ses-
sion in Marshall, appointed committee,
Drs. Wooten, Carothers and Taylor of this
city, to secure needful legislation, based up
on the constitutional provision, and there
fore the law now compels every practi-
toner of medicine to appear before the
county board of examiners appointed by
the diatrict court and show that he is n
master of anatomy, chemistry, physiology
and nlGteria mediea avoiding all questions
of therapeutics-before he can collect 6
medical bill Moreover, the district courr
must give in charge to the grand jury the
act restricting to properly educated gen
tleman the practice of the profession, and 9
pill peddler, driving the trade unlawfully,
is to be indicted, fined and imprisoned. 1t
is good law, wisely conceived, and prop.
erly became statute. For its ex'
istence the people, who have been
fearfully plucked by adventurous quacks,
owe lasting debt of gratitude not only te
the learned committee appointed by
the medical convention at Marshall, but to
Mr.. BlassiDgame. of the Senate, and DR.
Stone and Mr.. Coleman, of the House. A
man may have the right, as was argued BY
opponents of the bill, to have himself
poisoned by quack and pay for it; but il
becomes the duty of the State to protect a
least innocent women and children sgains

The robbers, despite the exceeding qui-
etude and peacefulness of Texas, leaPed
into the savings bank at Dallas and over
the counter, about noon last Thursday, and
throttling President Gruber gathered up
5000 and fed. At the same time pair oil
hghwaymen entered the bank at Goliad
and relieved that institution, in broad day
light, of all the money in sight. 1t is q

The sTATEsM4S, accepting Us true the as
sertions first made affecting the riots at
Hamburg, South Carolina, did not fail to
denounce the supposed brutal murderers of
blacks as they deserved. But the tables
are turned. The story originally given the
public and on which we commented, even
when Lamar was uttering brilliant denun-
Citations in the House, was almost wholly
untrue. Even they who we're charged with
offenses and murders were at distant locali-
ties and the riot itself was perhaps una
voidable because Of the untanied ferocity

THE sentiment OF this congressional dis
trict, as shown in both houses of the Leg
islature, and by the unanimity of the news
paper press, is solidIy against the endow-
ment of Tom SCOTS road by the United
States government. He has taken enough,
God knows, from Texas to justify the peo-
pie of Texas in opposing the conversion OF
Texas and Pacific into St. Louis and
Pacific road. Let Mr.. Giddings speak on
this question. 1t must be determined by
the next Congress, and Texas has lost
