Is natural and often a wholesome virtue
often a sound check in wild and visionary
schemes. But when exercised by new
i'm migrant to state of more. advanced and
lust methods, ii is an evil-an evil that
Texas has too often ielt--and which, in
some form or other, is seen in every sue
ceedng legislature. Yet the fact is ever
repeating itself, that as newcomers, especi-
ally legal minds, become acquainted with
our laws on these and kindred subjects,
they emphaticaly fall in love with them.
Hence the grand total OF unity on such fun
d ,menta elements is as steady In growth
as Is the increase in population.
Reviewing the past, with all these IN
fuences held in view, it may be said in
the fullness Of truth that in this yea
1884, Texas stands forth as an anomaly
among commonwealth, in either modern
or ancient times, Looking at the obsta-
cles to be overcome befors any real pro-
eress could be made In two,tbirds Of oui
