upon the last proposition from the
other side providing that the repeal
bill should take precedence, but that
opportunity should be given for

ported that there was u very signif-
ctnt occurrence in the senate finance
committee on Thursday. A motion
was made authorizing the chairman
to introduce bill to so amend the
law governing the issue of the ma.

issue of notes to the par value of the
bonds deposited as security therefor.
This was agreed to, after discus
sion, by majority of one.
Then it was proposed to author
ize the chairman to report bill TO
repeal the silver purchase clause of
the Sherman law, whereupon Mr..
Vest is said to have made a speech
denouncing the proposition and no
tifying its friends that no bill which
ignored silver could pass the senate
as at present constituted. Under
| the influence Of the remarks of Mr.
Vest, the committee unanimously
| reconsidered its action on the silver

One of those wonderful religious
uprisings, such as never fail to follow
the efforts of the great Southern re-
vivalist, Rev. Sam Jones, would re-
suit in great benefit both to our city
and her people. Indeed, there is ab-
solutely no stand point from which a
reasonable objection can be based to
the proposed measure. Religious en-
thusiasm is the greatest and best of
all moral sanitation, and while Texar-
kama people are no worse of, morally,
than their neighbors, yet a general
toning up of the moral system in this
city would not, by any means, be
amiss. We are all easily interested
in the subject of providing sanitary
measures for the preservation Of our
physical being, so why not, for the
once at least, become interested in the
mental and moral welfare of ourselves
and neighbors.
