quire a change. Experience has shown
that in many instances, owing to party
complications and unhealthy alliances in
these territories, it was almost impossible
to select impartial persons competent to
fill the Office of governor from the state.
1t oftens happens that schemes exist in
the territories, or certain policy preva-
Ills, that congress is anxious to suppress
and put an end to, which every residen2
otherwise fit to be governor, is not only
identified with. but is exerting himself
to maintain bv force; and to limit the
selection of residents, as required, this
bill would, in such cases, amount to strife
and discord, and often in breaking the
peace and law an executive is supposed
to desire to keep and preserve and exert.
The general law has wisely left the presi-
dent free to select the officers from any
part of the country he may choose. 1t
is extremely doubtful whether any law
could limit the president in this respect.
The power of appointment given by the
constitution is broad and without limit.
The committee is of the opinion that
law could as well restrict the president
in this matter to residents in any one
state or persons of certain height or
weight or Of particular complexion.
Such a law would be manifestly impoli-
tic if not liable to exceptional objection.

LOOK OUT, GENTLEMEN

Several persons in this city, If not
more-in fact, they are numerous
should acquaint themselves with the fol.
lowing provisions of tho statutory laws
of Texas: Article 81 of the penal code
prescribes: "lf any person shall
whether before or after the happening
of any public election held within this
state, wager or bot, in any manner what
ever, upon the result of any such
election, he shall be finod not less than
$25 nor more than $1,000" Art. 1913 is as
follows "The bet or wager may be OF
money or of any article of value, and
any device in the form of purchase or
sale or in any other form, made for the
purpose of concealing the true intention
of the parties, is equal within the mean
ing of bet or wager" Any person can
appear before the grand jury
or any authorized magistrate
and inform upon any party
violating these statutory provisions.
Some of the speculative "cusses" who
expect new hats, boots, clothing or
money from their intimate friends, may
have to walk up to the captains office
and settle. II is said there are several
"chicol amang us taken notes" in this
city, and they will report to the author
tiles every man coming under their oh
serVation who bets anything. on the
coming election. After tho presidential
election there will be more than lOO,OO
individuals in Dallas who will stand in
the fear of tho law as above rocited.
1t is a nice thing that gentlemen
should bot all they have on tho results
OF this election, but they had better be
careful with whom they mako their
wagers.
