AUSTIN April 10Th, lSS2.-Thero have
been any number Of efforts made at getting
up Apportonment tables, and here and
there before the morning hour, in the TWO
houses, ut the hotels and elsewhere, you
NAV see little knots of men bending over
and calmly or cxcitedIy discussing the Re.
districting problem. They remind one OF
the time and the sights so very general when
the %, "A, IS puzzles were in vogue. inns man

Now look at our proposed district. Here is
Navarro county linked with Dallas; Ma
varro is The home of Mr.. Mills. Dallas is
tie home of Mr.. Wellborn. Both these
! gentlemen ave mos excellent members in
congress, and warm personal friends.
| WHY ANTAGoNIZE THEM?
| Why throw one of them out of position ?
am satisfied that, in contest, the Hon.
DIN Welborn would be The victor and go
back TO his seat for the next congressional
| term, The rule ought 10 be that an ar
rangement should be effected whereby a
delegation we Of the Lone Star state are
now so proud of should be returned,
| other things being equal. Again
observe the district apportioned
for this and other counties.
| 1t runs from BeXar TO El Paso, and like the
al att oil
that come within the limits of lis sweep !"
Tarrant county. IL would seem, does not
wish 10 come within the sweep Tor Dallas.
! BY extending westward the gentleman
| from Weatherford would have his chances
vastly improved toward congressional
glory. Nor do | fancy that Ex-Governor
| rhrockmorton would frowD at the arrange
ment as proposed for the fifth district. We
also think OF some ambitions gentlemen in
! the Bexar and Travis district, so there may
| he trouble here. Elsewhere we have in
Harris a conflict of interests as between
Charlie Stewart and Mr.. Hutcbison. The
| former would like to have the upper coun-
ties tackled on TO Harris the latter
prefers TO reach out in another direction.
So, too, with Finlay, of Galveston, the tall
| Joker and orator from the southwest, he
would like a shoestring district strung out
| from the Island City TO his former home.
The governor has an superintendent map
now in the hands of Lieutenant Governor
Storey, but have not been able 10 see 1t.
RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Very little thus far has developed in the
matter of railway legislation, one feeling,
however find quite prevalent, and that Is
that passenger fare shall be reduced to 3
cents per mule, aud also tlIat The roads shall
be maintained in bedway and cars, etc, in
good and thoroughly safe condition Tor pas
sengers. Among nearly all the members
there is an evident disposition TO have
commission similar to that in other states,
but among the more conserva-
tive there prevails an idea
that the present is not the Legislative
body.to frame fair, equitable bill that viii
be alike Just TO railroad companies and the
people.
THE BLIND ASYLUM SCANDAL.
DIR. Rainey, superintendent Of the blind
asylum, Is much incensed at the reflections
made against his institution by the San
Antonio Express reporter here. Heregards
them rs rejecting upon his pupils, wards
and teachers; The trouble all grew out OF the
Charley Anderson and Ella Peterson scan
dial, both servants at the institution. DIR.
Rainey said as follows to Statesman re-
porter:
DR.. Rainey-I did not know anything
about the matter until last Monday night,
the Sd day OF the month. j was then in
formed that Anderson had Just been ar
rested, and was told the reason for bis ar
resr This was the first time ! had ever
heard that Ella Peterson had done any
thing wrong since she came 20 the inttitn-
ton. She had always done her work well
and behaved herself in my precence. II
she bad ever been guilty OF immoral CON
duct she and those engaged In u were too
shrewd 70 let me know il, for have dis
charged several for misconduct. Mrs
Cloud discovered one week ago that Elias
condition was such as made u necessary 20
discharge her. and she vas notihed that her
time would be out on April LIST, but Mrs.
Cloud saws she did not know anything
