"a Texas Steer Is the best comedy
that has come from the pen of Charles
Hoyt. and will be presented at the opera
house next Thursday. 1t is most laugh
able satire on present day politics, and
the story opens in Texas, with the cleo
ton of Maverick Brander, the cattle
king, to congress. Brander is modest
man, and does not seek office. The cleo
ton takes place during his absence from
home, and is brought about by the am
bition of his family for social distinc-
ton and preferment and the desire to get
out of the dreariness of life on a cattle
ranch and In frontier town to the gayer
and more fashionable circles found at
the national capital. The first informa-
ton that Brander has of his election that
has been brought about by the the instru-
mentality of three local politicians,
Messrs. Yell, Bragg and Blow, Is when
he is "yanked" off his wagon on his
peaceful way home, crowned with laur-
els, as was Cincinnatus, and brought in
on the shoulders of sour men, followed by
the riff-raff of the frontier town. There
is some difficulty in getting him to serve,

approved February 5. ;Sl5. "ro regulate

in has been construed and defined by this
court, is not sufficiently broad and COM

Incurred in the :,;.-ss :, :.sc. "ial and

are indeed obviously more foreign to the

of section 81, which provides when the

and when to hard labor for the county,
and which was held to be upconstitut1on-
al, because not expressed In the title or
the act, in ex parte Gayles, 10S Ala. 514;
and upon. the considerations adverted
to in that case, and the authority of it.
we hold that sections, 81 and IS of said
act are unconstitutional and void.
The caption of the act, approved Feb
ruary IA, 1893. in relation to convicts. Is
as follows: ITO create a new convict sys-
tenn for the state of Alabama, and to
provide for the government, discipline
and maintenance of all convicts in the
state of Alabama" The second clause
of this caption, land to provide for the
Eovernment discipline and .maintainance
of all convicts In the state of Alabama"
is in substance the same as the entire
canton of the act of 1895. ITO regulate
the management of state and county
eonvicts." So that the difference between
the captions of the two enactments lies
in the absence from the caption of the
later act of the first clause in the caption
of the earlier one. viz: To create new
convict system for the stateso Alabama"
These words are manifestlyt much broad
