al amendment and could only author
ize the capitol board to make n new con-
tract for the land remaining, or put the
land on the market for sale and let the
work stop until the land was sold.
Tho truth is, our constitution goes so
much into details that every important
issue, likel the school tax question,
must result in question of constitu-
tional amendment, and is legis-
latiye issue only as regards the submits
sion OF the issue itself, and il requies
twolthirds legislative vote to submit,
and to get this on any question requires
That the people be- practically uuau-
imous in fayoring the proposed amend
ment.
These restrictive constitutional pro-
visions make change of policy very
tedious and slow, but possess the merit
OF requiring tull discussion by the leg
islature, and then before the people, of
all important issues.
When the peniteutiary problem ia sat-
iSfactorily solved, and the capitol built,
there Is not likely to arise any necessity
Tor any extraordinary expenditure Of
money.
So far as the use of Indiana stoneis con-
cerned, II 1t is as good or better than
native limestone, as business PROPOSE
ton the State could not we'll object to
its use. As q matter of State pride as
well as local financial benetit,it would be
preferable TO have the capitol built of
native stone. There is too much in
volYed in this contract for the capitol
board to consider political or probable
local effects What the State at large
wants, is the capitol built according To
contract, no matter whore the labor or
material comes from.

To the Afnicted-The Blind Restored To
Sight.

We, the undersigned. OF Terrell, Kaufman
county, Texas, have personally known DR.
j. IL Payne for some length of time as an
expert Ocullst, and having observed the ex-
traordinnry success which has resulted in
his practice In Ophtalmlc diseases, Il Is with
pleasure we voluntarily and uuhesit tingly
commend him to the confidence OF the pec.
pie as trustworthy md skillful oculist;
and his success In many seemingly intracti-
bic cases has been really marvellous.
We are oognizant OF the fact that many
patients have come TO Dr. Payne for treat
ment who were objects of commensurntlon,
VINO had been under treatment by some
of the moro distinguished ocullsts In North
and East Texas without being benefited,
but by the skill and energy OF DR.. Payne
they were restored to sight. These are
irreiragable facts, and competent testimony
can be produced at any time II desired.
In the treatment Of Granular Conlunc-
tiyitis, Pannas, Films, opacities OF the
Lornea, diseases Of the Fibrous Tunic and
Pteryglum he Is without n peer. And his
method of treatment In Exophthalmia is
really novel, without enucloation an
operation new and painless and guarantees
success.
We can conscientiously state that any
one WHO'S suffering with diseases of the eye
VIII find DIR. Payne thoroughly competent,
faithful, careful and prompt.
We cannot, without appearing panegyri-
cal, say more for him than we have said. We
could not In Justice 10 TO the reputation he

abroad, say less:
