TIE KoRK ACCOMPLISHED.


The legislature on Tuesday
practically completed the work Of
the session and there viii be- no
occasion for another special ses-
sion. On Wednesday the legisla-
ture adjourned. Fence cutting,
the principal cause for calling the
session, has been disposed of by
making it a felony. The unlawful
inclosing of the land of another,
or the public, public school, uni
versity or asylum land of this
state without the written consent
of the owner thereof duly acknowl-
edged, or a duly executed lease
properly recorded, is declared a
misdemeanor and is punishable by
a fine of not less than so cents nor
more thansl per acre per month
for each month so inclosed, or fine
and Imprisonment in the county
Jail for..any period not over two
years. The school bill was also
passed. In addition to the above
the road bills have been passed /;
also the bill to authorize commits
sioners' courts to fix the terms of
county courts, the same to be done
at regular session also the bill to
extend for six months the time in
which lands sold to the state for
taxes may be redeemed; the bill
giving the governor money and
authority to suppress lawlessness
the bill fixing the rate of taxation,
which does not change the poll
and occupation taxes, but simply
fixes ad vaiorem revenue tax at
IL IL cents and ad valorem school
tax at II IL cents on 500 of taxa
bleproperty bills making changes
in terms of courts in varions judi
ciai districts; bills providing for
DEFICIENCIES in appropriations bill,
amending penal laws as to conspi-
racy to commit ,offenses, so as to
include fence cutting; appropria-
ton bills and several resolutions
instructing Texas congressman.
The bills against fence cutting
and Illegal fencing were exhaus-
lively discussed, there being al
great diversity of interests to be
protected and as many opinions as
interests. As to the wisdom of
the laws passed it must be left for
time and actual experience to de-
termine. The power of the gov
ernor has been very largely in
creased by the appropriation of
$4,000 with which to suppress
lawlessness. 1t places great re-
sponsibility in his hands and
which, if iudiciously used, will |
make him many friends.
The legislature having accom-
plished what they were called to-
gether to do should not be blamed
for a waste of time, though it is |
plain that valuable time has been
wasted and bills which, had they
been formulated earlier in the ses-
sion, might have been made more
complete and effective. 1t is bad
policy to crowd all important bus
mess into the shank of the session,
SO to speak, and then: rush bills
through in hurry and with every
facility and possibility of making |
If the fence cutting troubles are
suppressed Texas will take new
start on the road to prosperity and
greatness.

EXEcU7THB POWERS.

The Austin Statesman discusses
at considerable length the question
Of Executive Powers" 1t says a
question Of most vital Importance
to Texas is whether the governor
has the constitutional power to
suppress lawless combinations for
the destruction of public and pri-
vate property. 1t has ever been
agreed by the great writers upon
government that its object is. to
protect life, liberty and property.
Then we naturally conclude that
when government is created, it
possesses this indispensable power,
and then the only question arising
is to whom is the executive of
such power entrustedl The con-
stitution Of the state is cited. It
says. eThe executive department
of the state shall consist of a gov
ernor who shall be the chief exc
tive officer of the state" He is
commander-in-chief of the military
forces of the state, except when
they are called into the actual SER
vice of the United States. He
shall cause the laws to be faithfully
executed. 1t is argued and truly
that the governor has all the pow
er vested in him necessary to sup.
press instructions. The States
man says the greatest instruction
ever known in Texas is this that
for six months has gained strength
until almost the entire state is in
volved. Lives are taken and
property is despoiled to the extent
of hundred millions of dollars.
While 1t is true that fence-cutting
has become epidemic, so to speak,
it can hardly be said that there
has been anything approaching an
instruction; fences have been cut
all over Western Texas, and in
but few cases have the county Off
Gals taken any steps to arrest the
perpetrators of the outrages. If
the militia had been called out
they would have been powerless
to stop fence-cutting, which has
not been confined to any particu-
lar locality.

The Morrison tariff bill is dis,
cussed at some length by the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, which
does not approve of any off ex-
cept the free portion. The sugar
interests of Louisiana need protee-
ton and the papers of that state
oppose any reduction in the tariff
on sugar.

TIE colored Republicans in pal-

THE colored Republicans in Dial
las are becoming tired of the way
the political cat has been jumping
they claim to have 1000 voters in
Dallas county, and only one negro
is an ofice-holder and he is JAM
tor of the federal court. They
think there should be at least two
colored men employed in the post
Office. Colored Republicans come
in very handy when white Repub-
licans are to be elected to office,
but they are not regarded favora
bly, by white Republicans when
they want offices for themselves.

SAFE robheries continue to be
reported from all sections of the
state, and it would seem that by
this time almost every owner of Il
fire proof safe should be satisfied
that they are not burglar-proof and
are not sold as such, prnaenae
would dictate tbs advisability of
not trusting large sums Of money
in such insecure places.

THE LBGIs1ATURE.


As the session of the Legislature
draws to q close It begins to do
some business. On Saturday the
House passed the bill appropriate
iiIkseO, 600 for the representation
81 1sShs at the New Orleans ex-
positi5n Tho road bin prepared
BY The s1b-committes Of the House
passed the senate with slight
aenananss and now awaits the
at,.Fe Of the governor. The
House bill owing the governor
al appropriation Of s55, zoos to be
used to employ detectives and
otherwise aid in the suppression
Of lawlessness, passed by the SEN
ate. The senate 4llso passed the
House bill permittSsg counties to
issue bonds to build jails. It is
now regarded as almost certain
that a bill covering the fence cut
ting troubles viii be passed as
also other necessary bills. It is
confidently announced that there
win be no necessity for another
called session. But very few days
now remain in which to wind up
the business of the session and it
viii be well enough to wait and
see what is accomplished before
passing Judgment on the legisla-
tire.

humanitarian motives.

The St. Louis Railway Register
says: A few newspapers foolishly
try to excite popular passion by
remarks concerning the Astor and
Vanderbilt balls recently given,
inrvhIchthey say that it is wrong to
have sneh exhibitions of splender,
while there is so much suffering in
the city. The expensive parties
giTSsn BY rich men, are good things,
because they stimulate the busl-
mess of tradesmen. Almost all
dealers make money out of balls
and parties, and nearly as much
good is accomplished as if the
amount expended was directly dis
tributed among the poor.
