ADVICE TO THE LEGISLATURE.

Senator staTord's bill to accomplish the en-
forcement OF the liquor laws is a drastic one,
and vet OF the kind which most probably may be
made successful 1t proposes the resembling OF
license for every ofense, besides the ordinary
penalties in every conviction. If anything will,
such law enforced will break up violations OF
the liquor laws-PariS Adgocdts.
Hon Chris Callan would gcatly oblge great
majority of his constituents if he would conceal

There is one thing the Star would like to see
that is a joint resolution amending the consd-
tuition extending the term OF all State and coun-
tv officials TO four years. There is no earthly
reason why we should have State election ey-
cry two years. Let's change the constitution
and do it now-Bairi Star

ing the States interests against laws that would

Now that the Texas legislature has a club in
soak for the trusts the hydra-headed beast will
probably retire to the outskirts and assume an
inconspicuous postion.--GGiVeston Tribune.
Senator Paulus has introduced bill providing
that seat in a Pullman car shall not cost to
exceed cents per hour. This would be rather
| expensive on the traveller with so many delayed
! trains. AS it is now a seat costs IS cents for
every sixty miles travelled. Under the proposed
| law, passenger would have to pay 10 cents fol-
every hours delay to the trains, and in these
days Of delays there are many hours backset or
each road,--G0nesviHe Messenger.
The legislature should not forget that Their,
are many schemes calling for the peoples money
that have no merit in them and appropriations
should be confined to such things as are abso
lutely necessary or to promote the rapiC
development Of the State. Texas can not aforC

entry think OF the advantage, objections,
etc. of each detail and then make your de-
eision. In all appointment classes there
are reasons for everything. II is the dag
nosis of the small things, the minute ex-
actness and precision of the orthodox
judges in these appointment classes that
furnish considerable of the zest and fasci-

The hat should be of new style bell

il is never becoming; neither should the
old-style high crown be tolerated. for the
same reason. The bell crown hat in me-
dium heights Is the smartest looking coach
hat that can be worm and gives the wearer
a stylish appearance. In using undress
liveries always see that the hat corresponds
with the style OF the coat; if sack coat a
6erby hat, and if tail coat coach hat.
The dress body coat should always match
the upholstery of the vehicle. Some ex-
hibitors livery their man in black, regard
less of the color of their carriages. 1t is
generally conceded, howtN2r, that perfect
match is desirable. The new shade of claret
seems TO be the choice of several large ex-
hibitors both East and West. 1t makes
most rich show coloring. Body coats are
made longer in the skirt nowadays. 1t is
simply matter OF appearance. The old
fashioned shoct-skirted liveries were any
thing but attractive. Velvet collars have
been omitted. :, false vest of striped val

used full vest of scarlet is good taste.
