The debate will probably consume tn,
day tomorrow. IL is understood tina
only four or five will vote for the arm,
feature of the bill, and that less THAI
ten favor amy of its pro
visions, but should the majority
repor be adopted through courtesy I,
get the bill before the senate, it viii
be EN- sculated so quick that II will
disgust its friends, and even Senator
Terrell will disown it. Senator
Cooper addressed the senate after
Senator Gibbs, but your reporter had
business elsewhere. He speaks well
and may have knocked down some oil
Gibbs fence posts for aught just now
known. The great speech of the ses.
sion is expected from Senator Terrell
on the round up.
Senator Terrell says "civilization is
on trial," and rhetorically depicts
scores OF blood and carnage that will
pale the horrors of the reign of terror
in France. His bill would carry the
country back to the days of
Robespierre, Danton and Marat, or at
least to the more recent and more
atrocious villainies of the reconstruc-
ton war in Texas. In that event we
should want Mirabeau and a Char
lvtte Cordial. Mr.. Terrell might
be the Mirabeau, but where's
the woman? The line would soon de-
velop the other characters in the
drama, and reporter ofthe Galveston
News would at once he spotted as the
Couthar But, after all, are we in such
IL FerilDus condition? Is the Christian
ciViIizatio on trial? The fence-cut-
teTs, rs rule, are Il very quiet and

ordinary walks OF lie, and according
To many asseVeralions in the legisla-
ture, by senators and representatives,
they are mol without Christian virtues
and law abiding instincts. Some say
that large mtjorities in many
pa4plous counties are either nc lively
engaged in the war upon the wire or
IN close sympathy with the nitpers.
I this he true, civilization is not the
ring that is on trial. but the barbed
wire which that majority regards AS u
menace to poverty and bar sinis-
Ter across the soul of civilization The
wire fence may 60, but civilization |
will not 90 back an inch.
