CongFessmen almost broke their necks
Thursday in their eagerness to eject po.
lygamist Roberts through the breach
they tore in the Constitution. The vote

resentatives can be stampeded by wave
OF sentimentalism to commit an un.
necessary FOLLY.
That the election of Roberts was an
open affront to the popular sentiment
against polygamy does not admit Of a

it was his constitutional right to take
bis seat, from WHICH be could have been
Instantly and ANONYMOUSLY expelled.

To-day Roberts can stand before the

that local officials cannot or will no,

methods. Another thing, MIR. Temple
overlooks the fact that once tax

him to dodge his taxes in the future

TEXAS HAS BEEN UNDER SIX FLAGS,

Scarcely another state in the Union
has as remarkable and interesting a
history as Texas. In one respect at
least it occupies a unique position in
the history of American States. Since
its discovery six different governments
have at different times claimed its al
legiance and as many different flags
have waved oyer it. those Of France
Spain, Mexico, independent Texas,
the United States and the Coafeder'
ate States. The foundation Of Texas
statehood was not laid as British
colony, nor under the grant or contro
Of the British crown, as were those o.
the original thirteen states, Its first
settlement dates back more than two
hundred years, and Its first American
colonists went there under terms anG
conditions imposed by foreign state
to whose lanuage, laws and institu
tions they were total strangers.-St

Senator Penrose has introduced a
ILL to omend the code relative to the
collection Of taxes for the building OF
sidewalks, The bill provides that the
city clerk shall certify to the county
auditor the expense Of constructing
permanent sidewalks, where The same
is done by the city, and that the ex-
pense shall be taxed up against the
abutting property, the same as has
been done in the case of paying and
temporary sidewalks. The present
code provides no method of collecting
for the building of permanent side
walks if the property owner refuses to
pay.

to be a stumbling block in his eanvass
