MIR. woRTHAM's REFUSAL.
Travis County Has Lost nm Excellent
Legislator.

Austin, Texas. April 10.-Mr Wortham's
decision not to become candidate for the
| Legislature from Travis county has been
| received with genuine and universal re-
| greet. Usually the declinaton of pros
| pectiye political honor BY worthy and
popular subject creates disappointment of
a certain magnitude which is soon over
with; but in this case 1t can be said with
out eXaggeration that the people OF this
city and county will long continue to feel
that they missed being exceptionally we'll
represented in the legislative branch OF
the government when they failed to OBJ
tain the retiring State trcasurer's con-
sent to the use Of his name in the pri-
maries and at the polls in that connection.
In the legislature Mr. Workman would
have made an ideal chairman of the fl
nance committee. and for once an appro-
priation bill would have been reported
with some one able to give clear and in
telligent explanation of its provisions as
well as capable of defending each separate
item it might embrace.
And right here the suggestion OF an
amendment TO the constitution making cer-
tain State officers ox-officio members OF
the legislature presents itself. The State
treasurer and the comptroller, for in
stance, might with proprioty be given seats
in the lower house. They handle the
States finance. and. BY virtue of their Of
fetal position, are familiar with every de-
tail OF the system in vogue in Texas by
which public moneys are received and DIS
bursed and for this reason are especially
1ualified to sit as members OF the house
finance committee. With their assistance
this committee could get through It's work
quicker and more easily than is the rule
and it's ton to one that an appropriation
bill prepared with their advice would be
much more logical aud would come nearer
being acceptable than such proposed en-
actments usually are.
