WHY ABLE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
GENERALS ARE NEEDED.
TREASURER WORKMAN AMUSED.
ADJUTANT GENERAL MABRY's
LETTER FROM MARIA, WHERE
A FANATIcAL SET OF MEXlcANs
ARE CAUSING TROUBLE.


While the reformers of the house of
representatives were expostulating this
morning upon the extravaganza OF hay
ing so many lawyers in the attorney
generals office. Mr.. e. +. Hi, the
bond attorney of that department,
whose salary was sought to be reduced.
was In the midst of one Important ex-
animation, Involving the validity OF
BeXar county bridge bonds, amounting
TO $4,000. These bonds go up into the
hundreds of thousands, and the state
by It's bond law is pledged to see that
no bond, municipal or county, is put
upon the market unless 1t conforms
to all the requirements OF strict le-
gality. Yet AIR. Burney, Populist
member, says that $3.50 per year, IN
stead of $1,000. Is sufficient compensation
to pay n competent professional eN-
pert.
It seemed to amuse Treasurer Worth
am this morning when the Hon. Mann
Trlce mentioned the discovery he had
Just rKide that no warrants would be
issued for his salary. Mr. Trice, who
Is assistant attorney general, has been
absent some time on official business
and came in expecting that, as Treas
urer Workman mad announced that the
state was now on a cash basis after
long period of registered warrants, he
would receive a warrant which would
be honored upon delivery at the cash
window OF the state treasury. of
course Mr.. Workman is too familiar
with such matters to have overlooked
the fact that after March ! no war
rants would issue from the comptrol-
lers office, and he was safe in an
nouneing to the public that the gre0a
state OF Texas rs now on cash basis"
1t was amusing to see how much
amused Mr.. Workman was and how
nonplussed appeared the assistant at
torney general.
AdJulant General Mabry has received
the following from Ii, IL. Fitzpatrick,
cocnty judge of Preside county:
Maria, March 80 1895. -Adtutant
General Mabry, Austin Tex; My Dear
Sir-CGptain Hughes is just arrived
from Ysleta, having been requested 10
come here and assist our sheriff In
protecting the citizens living on the
Rio Grande. There is now a fanatlcal
war In progress there. Armed men,
followers of a wooden image called a
saint, are banded together and as
banded together are libale to commit
many grave Otfenses against the laws.
As yet their acts in violating the laws
are confined to minor otenses. such as
would come under the head Of INSIDE
meanors. Only this morning 1 placed
in Captain Hughes hands four war
rants, and although the ofrenses they
charged are only misdemeanors, yet
the execution OF the said warrants are
attended with great danger.
Let me congratulate you on having
such brave officer as the captain, and
l hope that his work on the river Will
materially add credit to the already
merllorious service of your well-con-
Quoted department. We out here are
grateful for the work done by the leg
islature and although the amount APP
proprated for the services is inade-
quate, when considering the great good
accomplished, yet small favors are
thankfully received. Yours respectfully,
II. II. FITZPATRICK.
