The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1884-05-01

senate, and should be kick g / out again.
The states. separately, were quite able
70 deal with their own cattle, and
should not be interfered with. If the
agricultural department would stop
hbelllng the cattle of the United |
States, no more trouble would be |
found with the cattle business. Our |
government was not paternal, and the |
people could take care OF their own
cattle without the paternal care of the |
agricultural department. Coke would |
favor bill to prohibit the importa-
ton or expectation of diseased cattle.
but ne. would not vote for bill APP
pointing an Inspector to go smelling
around mems stables to hunt up cases
of imaginary disease. -
Williams regretted the senator from
Texas Coke had been carried so far
by the warmth of his feelings in de-
| nunciation of those who desired to
pass the bill. He, for one, favored the
bill. He wanted to know if Texas
bulls belonged to any royal race like
the sacred bulls of India? Texas
steers were tall, slab sided bulls,
laughter with horns sometimes ex-
tending seven feet in width, but with
all that they were entitled to no more
privileges in this democratic country
than the common cattle. Renewed
laughter. Williams said he was him
self stock raiser, and he knew
nineteen-tenths of all the stock
raisers in the country favortd
this measure; and, calculated Will
liams, to say there is no pleuro pneu-
monia in this country ! My God it
has been in New Jersey, New York,
pennsylvania, Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia. Williams had him
Self seen it. If that disease should
once spread upon the plains it would
be ineradicable, and the duty was i'm
perat1ve to stamp is out. Williams
had no donbt of the entire constitu-
, tionality of the action by the national
government and it was no use now
for constitutional lawyers to hang
the question up "between the
, devil and high water" laughter /
The evil had to be met.
