The prohibition question will
1yershadoW an other questions thar
win ocmc up before the two houses
The prohibstionists and the anti
prohihitionista both favor the sub
mission of the question 10 vote oi
the people This question is not cN-
pected 30 enter into the main ques-
ton. but the minor details viii be
the subject for settlement between
the two contcndiug forces. The pro-
hihitionists want the question sub
mitted In either july or August
while the autis want the date fixed
I'm either March April or May The
former believe that the greatest
number of voters, particularly tho
farmers, could be able 90 go to the
polls to vote, aud this side also be

of each house elected is necessary TO
submit a constitutional amendment.
Another important work for the
legislature will be the redistrictins
of the state for the legislature, for
district courts other courts, and for
the national house OF representa-
tiyes. The question of apportionment
for the various states has not been
determined by congress yet, but 1t is
sure that Texas will gain two con-
gressmen.
Prison reform under the new law
placing the Texas penitentiaries I'M
der a board of commissioners, and
which contemplates the ultimate abo'
lition of the present system of leas-
ing convicts will demand great
