A NOVEL STATE STRUGGLE

A NOVEL STATE STRUGGLE.
The Kentucky Legislature is now
in session and the people of the state,
irrespective of party, are bringing the
strongest kind of pressure to bear
upon legislators to provide for con-
stitutional convention. 1t sounds
arrange. TO one accustomed to our
liberal organic law here in Texas, to
read that any state, with republican
form of government, can, by virtue
of its constitution, actually estop
| IT'S people from amending the
} organic law, whenever, III The
exercise of q sovereign ca
paciiy, they see ht TO do so.
And yet, by the best Kentucky au-
tbority. such is precisely the condi-
non of affairs in that state. There Is
- method prescribed, but il is so COM
plIcated that previous well-directed
eTorts to get a constitutional conyen-
ton have been failures, and we are
told under the existing method 1t may
be years before the popular will can
be carried out. Such difficulties are
not unprecedented. In Vermont and
Rhode Island the country has seen
instances of the popular Will
literally trampled under foot by
means of restrictive articles i'll the
organic law OF those states. The bill
now pending in the Kentucky legisla-
lure proposes, figuratively speaking,
TO cut through technical difficulty II
cannot go around. 1t takes position
on the bill of rights imbedded i'll
the constitution, and will appeal to the
@ pple for rel #. Where all parties are
so.unanimous that changes are needed,
popular sentiment will be quite sure
to sweep away all technical obstruc-
tions, for they cannot Withstand the
force and demands of public opinion
When it is stated that the
Kentucky constitution was framed
in 1850 it will be
perceived that many of Its features
must perforce be wholly inapplIcsble
to the changed conditions of the pres
ent time. They have become dead
letters, and only excite derision and
contempt. Ii is not astonishing that
! that an intelligent, progressive public
opinion boldly proposes to walk
souareIy over technicalities, aud deal
with facts and issues IN the light OF
the living present, and not according
to the effete theories OF thirty years
sgone. 1t is rather amusing,
though, weren't not for the gravity OF
the question, TO see II whole people
earnestly discussing how they are to
set to work and "constitutionslly" 5"
amend constitution that was pre-
sumably designed, among other bene-
icient measures, to secure the identi-
cal privileges of popular sovereignty
the people are now contendiug for.
Our Texas organic law is not perfect,
but in this respect it is vastly superior
to that OF Kentucky.

THE OWNERSHIP OF GREER
COUNTY.

COUNTY.
The EXAMINER was gratified to
read, in Sundays Galveston News, u
very thoughtful and timely article
concerning the pending suit between
the national and Texas government
as to the ownership of the territory
known as Greer county. Everybody
has recognized, ali along, that this
question could not ever remain ali
open one, and the sooner tits adjusted
aud closed up, the better such settle
ment will be for all concerned. The
national government claims the lana

Practically Texas has possession oi

thority of her state government Is
recognized there Tnferentiaily, 900,
congress has recognized the validity
nf the Texas claim. 1t is to be settled,
however, beyond all peradveniure,
amd Industrious efforts to that end
will no doubt he witnessed during the
present session of congress. If the
an&inct can be approached, from each
side, in a temperate, far minded spirit,
there can be no guestiOn but a perfect
ly equitable and mutually satisfactory
adjustment will be made. 1t is the
dignitied, impartial temper of the
News editorial the EXAMINER feels
impelled TO commend, as calculated
to direct the public mind to
an Intelligent, cool, upright
consideration OF the subject. Texas
does not desire heated, iDjudiciOus
controversy with the general govern
ment over this piece of land. The
people of the state, we take it, are
perfectly willing to have full flood
of light turned on the states pretem-
sions touching the matter, and if the
states claim is Il just one we have no
apprehension but that our congress
sional delegation will prove fully
competent to establish the states
claim beyond all cavilling, thus re-
curing the abandonment, on the part
OF the national government, 10 what
eyer claims and pretensioDs. res

longs to Texas she wants it, undoubt-
edly, and will be very sure to get it.

he ought to have what belongs to him,
and ungrudgingly at that.
