used outside when Il is necessary TO do so,
for the benefit and IN connection with the
side labor. IL is mere bubble, sir, 10
which he has resorted-it would do for
young lawyer ON his tiRt legs before jus
tees court to take such position, but why
one OF the standing, learning and legal
ability Of the senator from Travis, stand
ing within the midst of "A body OF grave
ana digniiei senators, should resort to
such technical quibbleSs, must confess is
beyond my comprehension.
Another objection made by the senator is
that the contract is not in iull
compliance with the law in regard to who
shall have the right to regulate and control
the labor aud manner of disposlng OF the
conyicts. Now the last and controlling
clause OF said contract reads thus: This
contract Is made subject to all provisions of
the laws now IN force or hereafter to be
passed regulating the organization and
management of penitentiarts, and IN sec
ton zen of the lease occurs this clause :
THE right is reserved TO the state, through
its proper officers, TO direct how, ana at all
times, and under all circumstances, the
conyicts whose labor Is herein contracted,
or leased, shall be lodged, fed, clothed,
worked guarded and treated" which is
the very language Of the statute Itself. Now
having sufficiently answered his argument,
we will allude to one thing more. Some OF
the senators on the other side OF this ques-
ton have asked of those who favor the
lease system, what will you do when you
10 home TO your constituents to give an
account of your postiont" In answer
to this ] say we will 80 home and tell
them that the Trust which they have
coniided 10 us has been faithfully kept
that we have done that which was TO their
interest and the best for the state.
A leading journal, IN speaking OF this
matter, has said
ut appears that good many senators
want to 80 down ignoDly as supporters OF
this outrageous contract regarding the pen
itentiares.
Sir, il u discharge OF a duty owe to my
country, to do that which is TO the best
interest Of my state, II acting, upon honest
convictions of thai which is right, lit and
proper, causes one to ~ dOwniglobly, then
be IL my fate, for ! will no supported by the
approval OF IA large aud honest constituency.

enormous charges of practising physicians are
a serious burden to them, and also find that
has accrued to them, that in fact they have
thrown their money away. ToovercOme these
evils we offer Wheeler's No. 50 SIRE Remedies
to the sick and suffering ono Remedy for each
disease, without for a moment claiming that
one remedy will cure any other disease than
the one claimed for it, and as these remedies
have stood the test of years without single
failure, we agree TO refund the money paid in
every instance where cure is not positively
effected The remedies are entirely vegetable,
and can do no harm, and will positively cure
every disease for which they are prescribed.
