PRESSURE IN THE SENATE.
Let us pause moment to see also
where thei pressure that threatens to
strand this bill comes from in the SEN
ate. Cast your eye along the edge of
the frontier from Red River to the Rio
Grande, and you will find the senator
from Cooke Senator Davis, the
senator from Dallas (Senator Gibbs,
the senator from Parker Senator
Shannon), the senator from EaStland
(Senator Flemingl and the senator
from BeXar Senator HOuStOn). In
GAINESVILLE, Weatherford, Dallas, and
San Antonio where these senators
live. these cattle and land corporations
which have divided up these tifty-four
counties, have their headquarters, and
there many Of the free grass kings
live. These are the champions of the
opposition, who see nothing wrong in
the unOrganiZed counties, these are the
speakers OF the opposition, whose con-
Stltuents are those who hold the purse
| strings for those 14,O00 ranchmen. No
Eastern Texas, no Central Texas SEN
ator has opposed this bill in debate.
Along that border are the two other
senators, Senator Matlock, from Mon
| tague, who represents over forty cOun-
| ties in the Panhandle, and who lives
not at the headquarters Of the corpora
lions, but in their dOminiOnS. Rising to
the full height of a Texas senator, he
sees the danger of the hour, :and by his
fearless course on this bill gives aSsur-
ance of further usefulness. Further
west is the senator from Cameron
Senator Collins, himself the owner
OF 10000 acre pasture, which has
never been cut, for he Expresses nc
nelghbOr, and who faVOrS and reported
this bill. These two stand on the from
tier like rocks in the ocean, mistaken
by free grass champions.
The pressure on these border sena.
tors in favor Of land corporations be,
comes more apparent when L tell you
that, since we met here one short yea1
ago, when on my motion, we solemnly
enacted that no land corporation should
buy more than one school section il
one county, the following charters
have been granted, with headquarter:

towns in the districts Of those sena

this is no skin d1sease-the surgeons

ceased to advance. Free grass, and
the devilment that it breeds, is at the
bottom of all this trouble. This lob

And now, for the provisions of the
bill. Though a modified herd law in
its results, it is not herd law in the
sense that a man shall keep his stock
on his own unenclosed land. Existing
habits of the people should be re-
spected, as far as possible, by every
law; and l assert that this bill is
framed with that view. Take an
Eastern Texas farmer, who, with much
labor, has field in that timber region
of thirty acres. He has land around
him, but covered with timber. If re-
quired to keep up his stock, and he
should take the fence from around
his field to make a pasture, the entire
pasture would not sustain one
animal. If he should attempt to
herd his small stock on his own lard,
his family would starve for want q
laborers in the field while engaged in
herding. But in Eastern Texas not
one man in twenty owns over twenty
five head of cattle; and one who does,
can rent all the open wood land for
