WI. HALL For REGISTER

In the absence OF Mr.. w. l.. HALL,
one Of the proprietors OF this paper, the
HERALD, in recognizing him as an APP
plicsnt for the registry of the treasury,
has only to say that his co-proprietors
most heartily endorse him for tho posi-
ton. The Office Is one to which no state
can peculiarly lay claim, but inasmuch
as Texas IL not considered In the slate
for cabinet appointment, some distinct
i've mark of Democratic favor should DO
accorded. 1t is customary to extend
this consideration TO banner states, and
the fact that Mr.. CLEVELAND received
such an unprecedented token of popular
preference. should not cause the empire
state OF the south to escape the
pleasant acknowledgment of the great
leader who swept his own empire state
of the north with such an avalanche.
From every quarter Of the state Mr..
HALL comes recommended for singular
business capacity and practical common
sense. His general information Is sur
passed by that Of no man within our
borders, whilst his striotness in the
management of large enterprises re.
curing the utmost vigilance as to de.
tail, seems eminently to qualify him as
the man for the place. A more graceful
tribute Mr.. CLEVELAND could not pay
to Texas, nor one that would be NOR,

committees and awaiting their return OF
the bills given them. Thism may be true,
and the suggestions made by outsiders
be considered very silly, but it
does seem that if in the beginning
of legislative session GER
tain day should be set, beyond
which no farther amendment should be
made to bill, and no further bill of any
kind introduced. Another oay on
which all bills should be reported, and
that some time before the end of the
session. Still another day, up to which,
limited debate should be allowed, and
finally, the last two or three days, or
more, if necessary, devoted TO voting
alone. That much more could
be accomplished than by the pres
ent system. AS it is now,
the crowding into the last few
days of debateable measures necessa-
rily produces confusion and incoDsider-
ate voting. Abundant time should be
given for the forming of opinion before
the voting time comes, and then the
parliamentary tactic business would
have no field upon which to display its
vicious work. Let tie bills receive all
the discussion they are entitled to be-
fore they are finally committed TO COM
mittees, and then let their reports, to
be made at certain date, be voted on.

days disnatches from Washington, con-
tains an item of $4,000 for the compile
ton of the courthouse and post-office at
this place. The HERALD is glad to see
that the exertions of our energetic and
Influential congressman have been re-
warded so signally. 1t was but just, it
is true, yet the original bill appropriate
ing 10000 was so emphatic in its pro-
vision that the sum named should be

sanguine he could ever obtain more.
The high stand he has taken, however.
in congress, and his wonderful zeal and
tact, have, aided by the influence secured
by general acquaintance in the house,
where he has served three years, en-
abied him to induce congress to pass
the bill so much needed. The appropria-
tion was very quietly worked, and Mr..
WELLBoRN is entitled to the heartiest
gratitude of Dallas constituency,
whose interests he has borne so care.

ATTENTION is called to the communi-

and to the point. All that is wanted is

HOW Mr.. HALLS CANDIDACY is
RECEIVED ABROAD


The indianapolis Sentinel, the &C.
knowled leading Democratic paper in
the western states, and probably WELD
ing more influence than any other jour
nal west of the Rocky mountains, thus
speaks of the candidacy of Mr.. HALL
for register of the treasury: "CoL. w.
l.. HALL, business manager of our es-
teemed contemporary, the Dallas
(Texas) HERALD, is nominated by the
Texas Press association for register OF
the United States treasury. The asso-
citation recites as part of its resolution
that it has advice that leads to the con-
clusion that the entire congressional
and senatorial delegation from Texas,
In our national congress, will sup
port him, while he will have the en-
dorsement OF all the members OF our
state, supreme and appellate courts,
and members ofou entire state govern
ment. In view Of this, and the fact that
the Dallas HERALD was potent factor
in developing the unprecedented vol
ume Of Democracy that swept over the
state in the last campaign, we respect.
fully urge that he become candidate
for said position"
eve can say of the paper, OF which
Col. HALL is business manager, that
for 'pith and moment and unswerv
ing Democracy, it has ever challenged
the Sentineps warmest admiration. In
the campaign OF 1884 it was unsurpassed
in zeal or forceful utterauce. The HER
ALDis, in our estimation, the best paper
in the southwest, and unquestionably
contributed largely to the great Demo
cratic majority in that state"

The Old Eligibility Insue.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. GA question
has recently been raised with regard to
the eligibility of Mr.. Daniel Manning,
OF Albany, for the position of
secretary VI the treasury
inasmuch as the gentleman is
a stakeholder in the Commercial Ma
tional bank, of that city. Judge Law
renee, first comptroller of the treasury,
upon being asked by reporter to-day
for his opinion on the subject,
said: The same question was care
fully examined by Judge Folger,
when he was appointed secretary of the
treasury, and he decided that the sec
rotary might be d stakeholder in a
national bank. During the whole term
that he was secretary of the treasury he
was a director in the Geneva National
bank. Whom Mr.. Sherman was sec
rotary of the treasury, the question
was ised as TO his eligibility,
because that he was q stakeholder and
a director in railroad company and so
was interested in commerce but the OBJ
lection was entirely uniounded, and the
statute only prohibits persons from deal
ing in public securities or from
engaging in commerce and does not
prohibit him from being a stakeholder
in q corporation. The statute relates to
the man, not to the corporation. A
rule Of each branch OF congress
prohibits members from voting on
any question in which they are
personally interested, but it has always
been held that members who are stock
holders in banks or railroad companies,
may vote on questions affecting them.
