Too Much PalaYer.
[San Antonio Express

If the fence cutters of Western Tex
as do not pile up tie remaining fence
posts and build bonfires in honor of
the minority report against the Ter
rel bill, signed by Senators a. w.
Houston, !. r. Fleming and w. r.
Shannon, they will show lack of ap-
probation of the champions of free
range. The Express heartily endorses
some OF the objections made to
the Terrell bill in the protest
alluded to, but it protests against
the language the report was clothed
in and the spirit shown throughout.
TO the intelligent reader the report
can make but one of two impressions:
Either that of demagoguery, or that
the singers are "free rangers" and at
tempt to cover, with CLOAK all too
short, their true character, have EN-
bodied in state paper the claptrap
and buncombe of a political stump
speaker, appealing TO passion and
prejudice rather than to judgment and
reason. All the talk about making
"the rich richer and the poor
poorer" building up the rich land
owner at the expense of the yeoman-
ry-first doubling his fortune then
releasing him from taxes" the "poor
mans pet colt" the poor widows
pet calf" and similar expressions, in
connection with report on pro-
posed legislative enactment is the
merest droSs and buncombe. The
principle of the Terrell bill is to pro-
tect the poor man as well as the rich.
Instead of being Il rich mans bill. il
discriminates in favor Of the 30.
man to the extent that it gives
him certain claim to tree
range. and would prevent the
rich from encroaching on his little
homestead. The main purpose of the
bill is to prevent owners of large herds
from maintaining them upon the
lands OF others, and this principle
every reasonable man must endorse.
The desired result might be brought
about by a better devised measure;
we believe the measure for enforcing
the law would be found too cumber-
some and expensive and unsatisfrc-
tory, but the Express objects to the
style of the minority report now under
consideration. If the gentlemen OBJ
iect to the bill because they believe
it will restrict free range, let them
say SO in plain terms; if their protest
is based on constitutional objections,
or they think the bill would fail to
secure the rights of persons and prop
erty, it would be more becoming in
legislative matters to state those OBJ
jections in plain terms than to sand
witch them in layers of stump speech
eratorY.
The poor man is getting tired of
being "mouthed" over; of being re-
garded as a puppet for politicians to
play with; he is man, asking only
his rights under the constitution and
laws. Give him these and he will take
care of himself.
