Orleans in October Of this year. II
will also be noted he expresses the
hone that liberal appropriation VIII
he made to secure creditable representa-
ton of Texas. her products and re-
sources. on that occasion. The gov
eruor is esteemed quite competent
Judge of law, constitutional as well as
well as common. 1t Is significant that
in making the suggestion above al
Iuded TO he does not refer to any con-
stitutional difficulties in the way OF
making such an appropriatioii-any
prohibition of such expenditure OF
the public money. 1t will hardly do
to assume that the governor would
have made suggestion which he
knew the legislature could not adopt,
because not within the purview oil the
fundamental law. To do this would
be to expose himself TO criticism. III
is evident that he believes the legisla-
ture has full authority to make this
appropriation, Just as it has appropri-
ated money to buy the y lamo, to erecta
monument at Goliad, ~ buy portraits,
etc, all outside the current expenses OF
the state government. And in so rea-
soning he will afford qualification TO
that large and progressive element In
the state which declines to regard the
constitution as cast-iron instrument,
standing in the way of the most laud-
able aspirations of the people who
framed and adopted it; which recog-
nizes in the cotton centennial rare
and grand opportunity to so advertise
Texas that she will attract capital and
industry, to q greater degree than can
be done through any other means.
Will the legislature see it in the same
light? The GAZETTE hopes so. This
exposition to be held at New Orleans
is no questionable or catch-penny at
fair, 1t is to DO what its name implies

having the additional and interesting
of marking the centennial

Fence-Cu ting Remedies.

Whatever course the Legislature may
see proper to take for the suppression

doubtless have the sympathy and sup

east and south of the crlme-cursed ter
ritory, and possibly the hearty in.

of all right-thinking men within that
belt, but ere are serious ap-
pIehensions that impracticable coun-

the nultitudinOus remedies suggested
through the fence-cutling literature
that las flooded the press of the state
for month or two past, and occupied
the minds of the coming statesmen
