is thgt II permits cattle tn drift, Gud inlllCls
no penalty CD their Wner. No bill can he
perfect that permits cattle to drit', and the
! effects of this provision would be thai the

| would always have their stock drifting on
nv constituents. Those features in the
| bill which punish men for feGcing land
not theiS' own, and which punish fence
Gu ting as felony are all right If tue bill
had gone further and provided road feci i
tics or gates, but all these subjects should
be legislated upon in separate bills and az
attempt should not be made to legislate
on the whole question
IN ONE BILL.
But Mr. President, admit that the bill is
as perfect II solution of the question as
some Of the press and the senators contend
that il il, what are we to say OF the means

am not much surprised that 80 many
editors have favored it, for IL creates an or.
flee for nearly every friend OF the bill.
nave no doubt but whaJ this feature
of the bill would commend IL to those mem
bers OF the senate whose terms soon expire,
but for tha fact his Excellcncy so far has
not discovered as much Official talent III

ton of the senator from Travis nat he LEFT
the number blank for tear there wouldn't
be democrats enough to fill the places, rank
and file.
He left the amount of the appropriation
blank, because he evidently thought il
would take all the profits out OF The mil
| lion-doller preamble to the ball. Whenev.
er the senator fills up these blanks, he will
| find that it is mere ma ter of choice who
eats up the 'chhdren's grass" the Office
! holder or the stockmap.
| This bill has more military and money in
| it than there is grass on the school anG
and an amendment may be necessary 10
save the money already received from the
sale of the school lands.

limit placed in this bill on cattle. But the
consLsbulary and the military force to sup
