CAMERON, TEXAS, March S.-Amid
the solitude of my lonely room, Just as
the rich and beautiful sunset deepens

THE House has voted to recon
slider the Thompson Railroad Com
mission bill, which failed of passage
before the recess for want of a con-
stitutional majority, and it was
made special order for this morn
ing. We should by all means have
a mandatory railroad commission.
1t is question whether the rail-
roads shall control the people or the
people the railroads. .....

TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
The Senate.

The Senate.
The day in the Senate was a very
quiet one, and nothing of impor-
lance was transacted.
The House bill providing for the
calling of constitutional conven-
ton came up for its third reading
recommended for passage, with a
committee amendment setting the
date of holding the election for the
first Thursday in August, 1897.
Upon motion it was decided that
further action upon the bill be de-
ferred until Friday.

The House.

The proceedings in the House, as
in the Senate, were also uneventful.
Mr.. COurtney's bill, to pay a re-
ward offered for Frank Johnson,
was passed.
Mr.. Rodgers bill making the buy
ing and selling of vote felony,
was tabled.

The Legislature RecOnvened at Nash
vile Last Monday.
The Railroad Commission Bill and Con.
stitnrionaI Convention Bill Postponed
For Further Consideration.

The General Assembly convened
Monday morning at IL o'clock with
Speakers Thompson and Fitzpatrick
presiding over their respective
bodies. Refreshed by the recess of
twenty-four days, the proceedings
started off with a rush, and in both
the Senate and House there was a
regular cyclone of bills, resolutions
and petitions.

CONSTITUTIONS CONVENTION.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
The opposition to constitutional
convention have succeeded in get
ting the question into a very bad
muddle.
Governor Taylor, on some fiimsy
preteXt or other, has declined to is
sue his proclamation for the election
April l, as provided for by the acts
of extra session of the last legisla-
ture, and consequently no election
will be held under the provisions of
that act.
The Governor is quoted as giving as
his reasons for failing to make the
call, that the proclamation should
have been issued by Governor Tur-
ney and that the bill now in the leg
islature on the same question would
prevent him from doing anything
until some action on it had been
taken. Both of these reasons, it oc-
ours to us, are mere preteXts. 1t is
true that the bill as passed by the
extra session provided that the Gov
ernor should issue his proclamation
Immediately after the passage of the
act. The bill as originally intro
duced provided for the election in
about month after the adjourn
ment of the extra session, and made
it the duty of the Governor to issue
his proclamation Immediately, and
when the date for holding the cleo.
ton was changed to April LIST this
provision about issuing the pracla-
nation was inadvertently left stand
ing. But however this may be, the
proclamation would have been per-
fectly legal and altogether proper if
issued any day in time to comply
with the law in regard to the open
ing and closing ofregistration books
In our opinion it was Taylor's
plain duty to have issued his procla.
nation regardless of what Turney
had failed to do and independent Of
any speculations as to what the leg
lslature might do.
If after the proclamation issued
the legislature had changed the date
it could easily have been recalled
But whether right or wrong no cleo
tion can now be held under The
present law.
There was some question about the
constitutionality of the act passed
at the extra session in the minds OF
those who opposed the convention
because it was not named in the call
and it was the object of the friend:
of the measure to cure this supposed
defect by having this legislature
pass the same act, and accordingly
it was introduced and passed the
House and is now pending in tn,
Senate and will come up for final &C
tion to-day.
An amendment has been mad
changing the date from April LIST tC
some time in August, since it would
be now impossible to hold the cleo
tion April LIST under our registration
laws, which require the books to b.
closed 20 days before the election
In this connection the HERAL1
wishes to call the attention of our
Senator, DR.. j. P. Dabbs of Perry
especially to the fact that he pas H.

Cleveland Designed for Republican.
Exit Cleveland, enter Mckinley.
The characters are different, but the
role is the same. In person
ality, Mckinley is the more pleas
ing and Cleveland the more force
full. Selfish, egotistic, stubborn and
domineeriug, Cleveland's methods
have been to drive men and bend
them to his will by sheer force. He
has succeeded marvelously, as a
host of cringing cuckoOs will testify,
but he has also succeeded in split
ting his party in twain and making
more personal enemies than any
man of his day. Henry Watterson
measured him correctly when he
declared that "Cleveland is dull,
plodding bank president, destitute
alike of imagination and sympa-
thy" Sam Jones pointed out his
chief characteristic in the phrase
He has a backbone as big as tele
graph pole" Had his
dominating force been used in the
interests of the masses of the people
instead of the privileged favorites OF
fortune, he might have taken rank
next to Jackson in the hearts of the
multitude, but since he chose to eX-
ert his powers for the aggraudise
ment of himself and those who con.
tributed to his wealth and personal
eXaltation, he has been utterly
repudiated by the great body of the
American people of all parties. On.
ly the beneficiaries of his autocratiC
course or the dilletante mugwumT
will be able to worship his memory
Even these can have no personal
affection for character so cold and
so repellant. Nature de-
signed Cleveland for republican
and Mckinley for a Democratic
leader. Clevelaud's bulldozIng
character and methods would have
succeeded with Republicans Just a.
Gar Reed has done, but Democrat.
would brook no such despotism. Nc.
Kinley's persuasive ways woulC
have easily led Democrats, but they
would fail with the Republicans, i
he were not backed up by Hanna
who is another edition of Cleveland
though of improved pattern
