Issued. u fec Of So must be paid the secretary
Of the state, which shall constitute part oil

GERS elected last November only two thou
sand and ffty-four have paid this fec and
been commissioned. Are they legally quail
flied officers?
This il the law, And why is it not enforced!
There are too many interests ut stake in this
4 matter to lot ii pass of 50 loosely. Suppose
sheriff has not paid the So aud been COM
noissoned By the governor, and in the course
Of his duty attempts to arrest a man
who resists ard kills the sheriff and
pleads that the sheriff was not a
legal officer, not having been &C mmissioned,
or the sheriff kills the man and this pleaded
against him? What will the result beY Or
suppose district Judge has not been COM
missioned, what effect will il have upon
Judgments rendered by him? What will the
effect be as 10 Acknowledgements taken to
deeds and similar papers by clerk not COM
missioned? Either enforce this Law or let it be
repealed.
The BRENNAN Banner manifests to slight
degree, b feeling of disgust at the defeat in
the legislature Of the constitutional amend
ment relative to immigration, and ssya
The joint resolution amending the immi-
grafton clause in the constitution was, on
Tuesday, defeated 10 both houses Of the Leg
islature. In both houses there were msjor-
tiles 10 fsyor of the amendment bull there
was not twosthirds majority, consequently
the resolution wss lost. The legislature was
only required to submit the amendment to &
vote of the people, who would themselves
have decided the question, but they failed
evon to do fills, ind now is will be said in
other states thStthe people of Texas do not
want immigration. It is now too late 10
remedy the matter, the Legislature has ex-
pressed itself OF the proposition and the ex-
preston is final Those who vcted sgsi1st
submitting ;bs amendment will 20 before the
people on their record. If their constitu-
ents approve of their actions they may be
re- elected; if not they will stay st homo and
more progressive men will supply their
places.
Every paper in the state not welded to
mossbackism and that can see the light of
the clssrings from toe ;ungles Of backwoods
ism, ought 70 turn it's batteries loose upon
thosa ante deluvian members who yoted
I. against this amendment They probably
thought they we're doing o very wise thing
and were sincere ia their convictions, but
that DOESN'T help tho inattor any. The age
is too progressive and The needs of Texas too
pressing for the people TO afford to send men
TO the legislature who cannot comprehend
what they ough. to do. rhe.world Is full of
coniplscsni, well-meaniug, conscientious
mon, WHO will never SCI a river a1re with
the impensity of their inteiIects. but there is
no resseu Why they should b. selected TO Gil
important positions Of irust.
