men.
We are peculiarly fortunate in that we
are to legislate for a commonwealth into
whose lap it would seem nature has
poured to overlooking her richest treas
and her children by the blood of martyred
heroes; and commonwealth to whose
service has uniformly been consecrated
wise and patriotic craftsmanship. There
fore, succeeding to this glorious heritage
our acts should be those born of wisdom
and of public virtue. For, aside from its
natural environments, the prosperity and
material welfare of commonwealth are
no little dependent upon and attributable
to the enactments Of It's legislators.
And in this connection l may be per-
mltted to observe that while laws for the
protection of the people against the un-
warranted usurpati0ns of aggregated
capital can not fail to enlist the endorse
not be blinded to the potent and far
reaching influences for good of capital
properly applied and regulated. For
both labor and capital are component
parts of our industrial system; they are
the compliments of each other; they are
the landmarks of all material progress
Possessing manifold and diversified re-
sources which need but development to
convert them into veritable mines of
wealth and prosperity, l can not but feel
that all laws which tend toward the con-
servation of this end are conceived for
the best interest of our whole people.
Speaker Dashiell announced that the
business of the joint session was at an
end, and, on motion of Senator Lewis,
the senate repaired to its chamber.

WANT THE RANGERS.
The Women Folks Are Asking for
Ranger Appropriation.

The following letter to Adjt. Gen.
Mabry, relative to the ranger service, is
fully explanatory and will prove of in
terest to the solons:
San Saba, Tex, Jan. 1, 1897.
Adjutant General, State of Texas:
Strive apprehend that the fact that
women would presume to write advising
the state departments as to needed legis-
lation will of itself be sufficient to show
how exceedingly vital and important they
feel such legislation to be.
We will, therefore, proceed on the pre-
sumption that every courtesy and consid-
sideration will be accorded this commu-
nication that it deserves.
We are not unaware of the fact, how
ever, that no such Importance will be
attached to what q few obscure women
from remote part of the state will say,
as would to the better and more mature
ly considered suggestions from our hon
orable legislators or noble governor. Yet,
experience teaches that it frequently oc-
ours that actual contact with that which
makes it necessary that certain things
should be done or not done gives us de-
cidedly superior ideas on that subject to
those who otherwise would be infinitely
our superiors.
And we feel fully assured that we need
not ask if our appeal to yourself, our no.
BILE governor or our grand legislators will
receive other than the most respectful
treatment. for we believe adverse criti-
cism of these weak though earnest APP
peals-appeals born of suffering, and we
trust sanctified by no other than the
purest of motives of which woman's ma
ture is capable-is something foreign to
whom they are addressed.
Taking for granted, therefore, that we
will be judged kindly. we will say that

AN IMPORTANT BILL.

The bill regulating the time and man
ner of making returns of elections for
presidential, electors, introduced by Rep
resentative Seabury Of Starr county, is
of the greatest Importance to the state,
as it removes q serious inconsistency in
our election law, that might well cause
the throwing out of the total electoral
vote of Texas in case of close and bit
ter race for president 1t requires coun-
ty judges to make returns to the secre-
tary of state on the Monday after the
election or whenever thereafter the COM
missioners court estimates the result of
the election in their county, instead OF
at the impossible time of four days after
the election, as in the old law. Returns
are counted by the secretary of state
ON the fortieth day after the election and
the electors meet on the second Monday
in January, these changes being in con-
formity with the laws of the United
States ON the subject. These little err
rors in laws are always sure in the long
run to produce the gravest consequences
unless promptly remedied.
