AuSDEAfEANOR IN ARKANSAS.

Little Rock, Sept. Ex-Governor Clarke
has received the following telegram from
Governor Culberson of Texas:
SIS prize fighting misdemeanor or
felony in Arkansas"
The governor replied that it is a mis-
demeanor citing the statutes which im-
pose a fine of not less than $1,000 nor
more $500. Under the law it would
be cheaper to have the fight in Arkan-
sas, as the maximum fines could not ex-
coed a few thousand dollars. Governor
Clarke, however, has heretofore ex-
pressed himself in no uncertain terms on
the question.

To whom it may concern-Whereas,
a decision of the presiding judge of the
court of criminal appeals lately rem
dered will embarrass the execution of
the laws of the State against prize fight
ing and other associated infractions of
good order and public peace, now i'm
minent and threatened; and whereas,
there is no certainty of a determination
of the soundness of said decision by Il
court of final resort in time for existing
emergencies; and whereas, it is proper
in avoidance Of every preteXt for disre-
garding the laws that all controversy re-
speeding them should be removed by
legislation and all reasonable pacific
means resorted to in the first instance
to enforce them; and inasmuch as the
present legislature unanimously passed
such a prohibitory law on the 10th and
9th days of April, to become effective
August l, 1895, as part of the Penal
Code, it should require session of only
u few days at u small cost to remove
any possible defect and put the law into
immediate operation, an extraordinary
occasion has arisen requiring the legis-
lature to be convened in special ses-
sion.
Now, therefore, |, Charles A. Culber-
son, governor of the State of Texas by
virtue Of the authority vested in me by
the constitution thereof do hereby call
a special session of the Twenty-fourth
legislature to be convened in the city of
Austin, beginning at noon Tuesday, Oc-
tober 1, 1895, for the following pur-
poses
First-To dcnounce prize fighting and
kindred practices in clear and unam-
bguous terms and prohibit the same by
appropriate pains and penalties, putting
the law into immediate operation and
making necessary provision for its en-
forcemcnt, so that proposed exhibitions
of this character within this State may
be prevented, the undoubted will of the
people upon the subject respected and
this affront to the moral sense and en-
lightened progress of Texas ayerted.
Second-To consider and act upon such
other matters rs may be presented pur-
suant to section 40, article 3 of the CON
stitution.
In testimony whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of State to be affixed this the 10Th day
of September, A. d. 1895.

Ninth "A reasonable prospect OF the
enactment of such legislation as is ad-
vocated by the silver men would pre-
cipitate an era of forced liquidation
certain to yield calamitous results.
Tenth. All experience with de-
based currency abundantly proves that
under such a regime commodities
promptly advance in price, while the
advance in wages is always less prompt
and in the degree of advance less per-
fectly compensates for the decreased
purchasing power of the circulating
medium. To add so per cent to the
workingman' wages and 100 per cent
to his expenses will be sorry measure
of relief. SAMUEL DICKIE.
