TION.

REPRESENTATIVE Burney yesterday
morning introduced joint resolution IN
the house which Is intended to be submit
ted tothc people ut the next general cleo
ton which provides for the election of
congressman and other officials by the
method of proportional representation.
The resolution is in compliance with one
of the requests of the Populist platform:
This joint resolution proposes to amend
the constitution by adding to article vi
Of said constitution the following, to be
known as section 4:
Section 4. That the state of Texas
shall constitute one congressional dis
trict for the election of congressman by
the method of proportional representa-
ton. Every qualified voter i'll the said
state of Texas shall be entitled to vote
for aS many congressman as may be
by law to the said state of Texas at any
general election. The electOr shall pre-
pare his ballot for congressman by mark
ing | (one) opposite the name of the can
didatc who is his first choice for congress
man. He shall, in like manner, make the
figure two opposite the name of the
candidate who is his second choice for
congressman. and the figure > (three)
opposite the name of the candidate who
is his third choice, and so on i'll regular
numerical order All marking of the
names of candidates beyond the number
required by law to be elected shall be
void and of no effect. The number OF
votes required to elect II congressman
shall be called the quota. The quota for
congressman Shll be asccrtained by dl
viding the whole number of votes cast
ut given election for congressman by
| the number of congressman to be elected
at such election. All ballots cast fol-
congressman in the state of Texas shall
be collected ut the place provided by law
| for CanvaSSing election returns Tor the
purpose of counting them. Every candl
date for congress whose name is printed
on the official ballot shall have II sep
arate file prepared for the reception o.
the ballots east in his favor. AS eacl
ballot is opened the words "Figure one
shall be announced, followed by the nam'
of the candidate opposite to which tn,
figure | (onc) is marked. The ballot shal
then be placed on the file belonging t,
such candidate without calling off an.
other names on the ballot. This pro
cess of distribution shall he continue,

A TICKLISU MOVEMENT

Whle the conservative members of the
legislature have made every possible eff
fort &c pour oil on the troubled waters
that were so badly agtated by Governor
Culberson \ message, the truth still stands
glaringly to the front that the message
has brought about a rupture between the
members of the legislature and the chief
executive. This fact was brought most
prominently to the front yesterday in the
house at adjourning hour. A motion to
adjourn until $50 this morning was made
Another motion was made to adjourn
until s O'Clock last night. Speaker Smith
reminded the house that the governors
reception had been announced for last
night but the motion was not withdrawn.
The vote was taken on the longest time
first and it was intended that /; should be
a viva voce vote. Some of the friends of
the governor discovered Il trap just in
time and demanded the yeas and nays on
the $3.50 adjournment and it carried,
though u voted against ii. Had not the
yeas and nays been demanded it was the
intention of majority portion of the
house to vote down the $50 adjourn
mcnt and take recess until o'clock last
night. The yeas and nays and "thc
record" attendant thereon made num-
her of the legislators weaken, however,
and the $50 adjournment was carried,
thus thwartng the scheme of number
of representatives who intended to hold n
night session and ignore the governors
reception and by so doing offer him n pub
lie affront. The governors friends i'll
the house were very badly worried AT
the action of the house and say they re-
greet exceedingly that they should allow
their passion 10 get the better OF their
Judgment

GRANDMOTHER'S DOLLARS.
What Her Descendants Might Have Had
in Interest from Them.

What Her Descendants Might Have Had
in Interest from Them.
A woman recently died in q neigh
boring town, and besides a grand
daughter and her cynical husband she
left few relatives and eighty dollars
in gold, with other things. The wom-
an was over ninety-five when she died,
and the eighty dollars included her
wedding presents. Like many persons
in those days, she held fast to the shin
ing eagles, and had had them for near
ly seventy years. When she died, OF
course, the birds were distributed
among the heirs.
The cynical husband, who was mar
ried to the old lady's favorite grand.
daughter, unused upon the eighty dol.
lars in gold and stripped his thoughts
of all sentiment as he specialized in his
mind what might have been. He is
not quite through with his figuring
yet, and his constant query is, il
grandmother had only put that eighty
dollars in the bank when she first
got it what clutch of golden eagles
we would have now! He unused on
this as he got ready on cold mornings
to go to work, and his favorite topic Of
thought was suggested as he jingled
a nickel and bunch of keys looking
for his car fare. Then he began to fig
IRE that money at six per cent. doubles
in about eleven years, and he lost
sleep as he thought how many times
eleven years went into seventy-sever
years. When the cynical husband
finally referred the question of hislosses
to bank man he learned that in fifty
years the eighty dollars in gold would
have amounted to 1,473,6O Without
figuring any further on the problem
the bank man said he would easily
consider that ten thousand dollars wa
lost by saving the eighty dollars

DASHED ON THE GOVERNOR

a Statesman reporter yesterday met
Representative Dashiel and during the
course of Il conversation on the governors
message that gentleman expressed him
self very freely on the message and the
author thereof. Mr.. Dashiel said that
the message was untimely and decidedly
uncallcd for. That if the governors rec
concentrations had not received that care
full attention that he claims they should
have received he alone is to blame for it.
The board of public works has wisely
with the members and has on all occa-
SOns held himself aloof and his bearing
has been distant and unfriendly. An
other reason given by Mr.. Dashiel why
the message is uncalled for is that it is
| without precedence. In the Twenty
| econd and Twenty third legislatures there
was not Il single administration measure
passed until after the expiration of the
first 60 days and such was generally the
ease and yet there had been no kick.
| That in this instance Governor Culber-
son was II little previous. Again, said
the speaker, he says we have not complied
with his recommendations or the plat
| form demands. In this he crrS. We have

ton of two, and all the platform demands
fully covered in bills now before this house
and which we intend to give consideration
to before we adjourn. The governor
would have done well to investigate mat
tiers little more thoroughly before he
jumped on us and then he might have
been let down little easier than he vii

He Was.

A dudish-looking youth was walking
down the Bowery, looking in at the
snop windows. A Bowery sport, intent
on having fun with him, tapped him on
the shoulder and said:
Say. young Teller! Are you wild me
or a0'in me?"
- NJ wild you, and ag'in you, and on
to ypu!" replied the dudish-Iooking
youth, and when they picked up the
Bowery sport and carried him away he
looked as if he had mistaken a cable
car for an all-night owl lunch wagon.

WANT INTER.MARRIAGE.

The readers of The Statesman will
doubtless remember the fact that not long
since the hall of representatives was
given to the colored people for the pur-
pose of holding memorial services in honor
of Fred Douglass. At the time it was
argued by some members that this would
be construed as an endorsement on the
part of the legislature of the life and
doings of Douglass This idea was
hooted but it now comes about that II
had more in that anyone thought.
The rumor is now going the rounds of
the capital that the negroes of the state state
are arranging to petition the legislature
IN mass n law amending the present law
which prohibits inter-marirage between
the Caucasian and black race. The ne ne,

THE LITTLE WORD NOT"

In the report of Speaker Smiths speech
in the House caucus Wednesday evening,
the omission of the small word mot,
made quite difference in the meaning OF
the speech as.printed in yesterdays States
man Speaker Smith during his speech
said he did not thin that Governor
Culberson intended to insult the legisla'
ture in his message As printed through
an oversight the sentence read that he
did believe that the governor meant to in
suit the legislature" This was far from
what Mr.. Smith said or meant, and as
the omission of the word mot did the
damage the correction is cheerfully made
