So far as Congress and the American
people arc concerned, the message will do
neither good nor harm-C Congress will pro.
vide for the deficit with tariff legislation
butit will unquestonably do much harm to
our interests in England. 1t will causs the
British to think that Mr.. Cleveland has be-
come frightened and already regrets his
belligerent message; and it will also en-
courage them to keep up their scheming to
throw us into financial panic. No posi-
bic good can be accomplished by Congress
remaining in session during Christmas
week, because even if the House had already
passed the measure which will be reported
from the Ways aud Means Committee, the

passage of the resolution would
split the Democratic party, and
addressing himself to some of
the gentlemen from Southwest
Texas who favored the reso
luton, he said that if it passed,
he doubted if they would ever
occupy their seats again.
Mr. Martin of Kinney stated
that it was unfair to make it
appear that he and Mr.. Tarver
were making war upon the
Mexican race, as they were
simply contending for purifica-
ton Of the ballot. He stated
that he did not believe that
Starr county was an exception
to the rule prevailing in cleo
ton on the Rio Grande, and that
he had it from good authority
that the gentleman from Starr
had himself stated in the house
that the only way to get the
Mexican vote down there was
to corral it on the night before
the election and hold it until
the ballots were cast. Going
further he stated that the gen
tleman from Cameron had adj
mitted to him that he opposed
the resolution because it was
impolitic and feared that if it
passed his head would fall into
the basket.
Mr.. Seabary of Cameron, ris-
ing to ask a question, said: "Did
l not say also that it was a
question of justice ~
Mr.. Martin replied: - es, he
did sandwich that in"
Continuing, Mr.. Martin spoke
of a proposition to punish lille
gal voters. lie said that when
ever such was attempted some
one invariably appeared tc
urge that it was not the poor
devil who had allowed himself
to be made merchandise Of who
ought to be prosecuted, but the
middleman who procured him
and the middleman could never

BALLOT REFORM
BILL KILLED
McBride's Joint Resolution to
Amend the Constitution
Fails in the House.

VlAO lAOOoV w UuhO u uCDIIIS
joint resolution to amend the
constitution so that final papers
will have to taken out by aliens
before they can vote, and Mr..
Blair's amendment to add the
poll tax prerequisite was laid
before the house for discussion.
Messrs. Mcbride, Turney,
Martin of Mckinney and Pat
terson opposed the amendment
on the ground that it was a
scheme to kill the resolution.
Mr.. Blair spoke in favor
of the amendment, which was
tabled.
The previous question having
been moved Mr.. Mcbride closed
the discussion and took occa-
sion to deny the charge made
against him by a local German
paper that he was Il local
optionist and that his resolu-
ton was a prohibition scheme.
He stated that he represented
more Germans than any other
member of the house, and that
he had received a large major
ity OF their votes at the last
election. He recalled the fact
that at his request consider
alton of the resolution had been
postponed to give the German
citizens a chance to protest
against it if they wished, but
that on the contrary many mem
orials and letters had been re-
ceived from them favoring it.
He said the floating Mexican
population was what was aimed
at.
Mr.. Bertram, asked Mr.. Nc
Bride if he knew what it would
cost to submit this amendment.
He replied that the end justified
the expense Of an election for
the purpose.
Mr.. Bertram further asked
him if he knew that it had cost
$4,000 to hold an election on
two amendments.
Mr.. Mcbride did not think
that it had cost that much
whereupon Mr.. Bertram gave
Gov. Hogg as his authority fol
the statement.
Mr.. Blair did not think thai
the present condition of the
states finances justified incur.
ring the expense of an election
to submit the amendment at this
time.
The vote upon the final pass
age Of the resolution having
been ordered, it resulted in s;
ayes and 80 nays and the
speaker declared the resolution
: lost, the necessary two-third'
vote not having been cast in it
