AUSTIN, TEX. March 22-In his prayer
in the senate this smorning DIR. SmooJ be-
sought the Almighty to look with favor
upon the great work before the legislature
today, and TO so guide the work that the
body might act not only in accord with di-
vine viii but in direct obeyance to the ex-
pressed viii of a great and free people.
The first business before the senate was
the receipt of the favorable report of the
educational committee on the bill in regard
TO the issuance Of teachers certificates. On
motion of Mr.. Clemens the bill to allow for
the payment of all contingent expenses OF
the extra session was taken up and passed
finally. The bill in regard to teachers Ger
tifcates was also passed finally.

Mr.. President and Senators.
There are times in the history of all
countries when. great principles are put

demanded Soon after the formation of
our lpvernment Capitalization stalked like
q grim spectre in the executive chamber
aud in The nails of congress. The doctrines
against which our forefathers revolted
again asserted themselves in the citadels of
power, and a government of the people was
rapidly giving way to political aristocracy.
Republican principles were upon trial and
everything depended upon leadership. In
that trying hour all eyes were turned to
Thomas Jefferson, and he, like Cincinnatus,
was summoned from his retirement to lead
the votaries of a-pure Democracy. Again,
in lS2S, when the. same issues were facing
each other in national politics, the i'm
mortal jackson rose up to lead the
peoples cause. And when the people
Of the South, unwilling to longer
submit to the encroachmentS
Of the general government upon the re-
served rights of the states, were denied the
right to peaceably withdraw from the
Union, and at last appealed to the god of
battle in defense of their homes and their

It's consequences, the conflict still RACES.
Parentalism is graphing to control the
policies OF the general government, and to
strangle to death the Democracy of Jeffer-

is being filed with millionaires who have
