questions OF nnanee ana taxes his views
are eminently wise, and meet with thaS
consideration winch their Importance
and value demand. The people of his
district and the state at large are pecu-
llary fortunate in having such a repre-
sentative.
TIE LAND BILL.
All! but there was wild filibustering
In the house Wednesday over the land
bill Mr.. Tsylor was the Ajax Te,e-
mon who for awhile would lead the
forces of the minority; then Mr.. Upton,
tho Agamemnon of parliament
tsry warfare would take command
and anon the fiery Dlephobus,sin the
person of Mr.. Henderson, would mar
shall the small but determined host.
The force stood shoulder TO shoulder
and bucklor to buckler, aud moved like
one man. There were Hectors, Parises
and Troiluses enough on the other side,
and the battle waged fierce, but
there was lack of discipline sod organi-
| cation and GOODNESS, Yet Tine minority
was oY rwhelmed by numbers after a
bard days struggle.
The Grecian horse of Mr.. Taylor. his
substitute, could not be gotten within
| the walls of the citadel and Troy sLil,
stands, but who is the Cressida is hard
TO tell just yet, nor has any waiting Gas
sandra developed, though there has
been many mounting Pactolus.
THE APPROPRIATIONS BlBL.
Mr.. Upton is bent on making an APP
| propriaion bill the special order fOI
some stated hour, and members with
bills they are anxious not to have die
abornin, rs they know they will
when the appropriation bill 10 once
passed, are opposing There Is no ques-
ton but that the legislature will ad-
journ very soon after the penitentiary
taxation and appropriation bills are
passed.
There will be a big fight over all these
bills, especially the appropriation bill a.
the two houses are very far apart II
their ideas on the matter of appropri
atoms.
THE DALLAS CITY CHARTERS.
Some legislators think Dallas "wantS
the earth" in her amended charter. They
say 1t bars everything except the consti
tuition of the state; indeed, makes
free city of Dallas. There is one thin
certain, they who never ask never re
ceive, and If there Is no wranglng a
home, the charter amendments, Il
asked for, can be obtained without ma
terial change.
cLEvELAND's CABINET.
The makeup of the cabinet Is no
very favorably endorsed by tho legisla
ture. No objection is urged to the pei
sonelle, but 1t looks like stripping to
closely the senate of It's best men. Gan
land, Lamar and Bayard. all from tn
senate, and all trained and abb
. leaders, IL is argued, will weaker

successors, although Democrats, mus
, be new and ineNperienced men, how
ever able they may be. There was dis
appointment that Thurman was not {

u NOT MUCH ENTHUSIASM.
There WAS but little done in the W
