Austin. Texas October 3O--Notwith-
standing that arrangements had been made
to hold last nights joint debate between
Albert Buiieson and Wash Jones in the
capitol yard, an attempt was made by the
auters managers TO induce him TO go back
on the announced programme and speak
in the court house instead of in conjunc-
ton with his democratic opponent. Finally,
however, he came TO the scratch and ac-
quilted himself as credltably as possible In
his case. But, determined not TO do the
square thing, his crowd endeavored to en-
barrass Burleson as far as possible and
stationed several bos,elous negroes In the
audience with instructions to interrupt
and "hurTah' him while he was speaking.
The Instructions were followed an right
enough, but the effect Of having them
Obeyed was anything but satisfactory to
Jones hackers. The crowd caught on and
cheered Burleson TO the echo as an Offset

Chicago Times Herald: The amend
ment to the. constitution proposed by
Senator Hoar changing the date for the
commencement of the presidential and
senatorial terms from March 4 to April
30 has been the subject OF discussion
for many years. There Is no doubt
that the change ought to be universally
favored. The particular reason, OF
course, for advocating the change is the
inclemency OF, the early March weather
in Washington, which has spoiled SO
many Inauguration ceremonies. In the
latitude OF Washington 1t Is rare
thing to have weather that Is favor
able for outdoor festivities on March !.
To the younger generation. which do
not take the trouble to look into his
tory. the selection OF clustering day
in March instead OF a balmy day in May
or June for Inauguration has always
been a subject OF wonder. II came
about in this way. After the present
constitution was adopted the old con-
Sress fixed the first Wednesday of Jan
uGry rs the day for the states to elect
presidential electors, the first Wednes-
day In February us the day for the
meeting of the electors to elect the
President and Vice president, and the
first Wednesday, in March for the In
auguration of the new government. It
happened that the first Wednesday In
March fell on the 4th, and hence this
order. not the constitution, has fixed
the 4th, of March as the commencement
OF the presidential term. The constitu-
tlon Is silent as to the date OF Inaugural
tion. 1t merely decSares that Pres
ident shall be elected every four years,
1t happened, however, on account OF
the poor facilities for travel In those
days that the senators ana representa-
tives were not able to organize congress
promptly on the date fixed by the old
congress, and General Washington WAS
not lnaugurnted until April 80, 1889.
There are those who believe that Gem
eral Washington could have served four
years from the date Of his inaugura-
ton thus brlnlng all subsequent in
augiratlons upon more proplt!ous
day. It Is the date OF Wnshington's In
auguration TINT has suggested the
change embodied In Senator Honr's res
olut!on, and It's adoption would tend TO
recall every four years the Interesting
historical associations surrounding the
Inauguration Of our ilrst President.
