CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
In another column will be found
the proclamation of the Governor
ordering an election to be held on
the first Tuesday in August, same
being the 3d day of aaid month on
three different umendmenta pro-
posed to the Oonatitntion of tbe
State of Texas. Tbe first two will
In no wise affeet the interesta of
Fayette county directly, bnt does
indireotly as In a manner tbe in-
terests of one section of Texas
are the interests of all other sec-
tions.
The one proposing to amend Ar-
ticle 8, Section 20, provides that
certain people in certain counties
in tbe western portion of tbe State
can, by a vote, organise them-
selves into irrigation district and
levy a tax upon themselves to tbe
end that they may procure Irriga-
tion. Tbe people of West Texas
want tbia amendment, as they can-
not now levy a tax for that par
pose. Irrigation is absolutely nec
essary to make tbe land in those
western counties productive at
all. If their land improves in val-
ue it will increase tbe taxable val-
ues in tbe State, hence the benefit
to the whole 8tate. This amend-
ment is a good one and certainly
no objection can be raised to tbe
same.
The second amendment is to
Section 3, Article 11, of the Con-
stitution. The proposed amend-
m^it will authorize certain west-
ern counties to issue bonds to
bnlld railroads. It is tba desire of
those counties to build railroads.
It can only benefit the people of
this section that they be built.
The third is to amend Article 11
of the Constitution, by adding Sec-
tion 11. This section, which is tbe
proposed amendment, provides
for the validation of all oonnty
bonds issued for the building of
eoorthouses, jails, bridges,&c. Tbe
school fund owns many of these
bonds and it is important that this
amendment be adopted, for if it is
not, the result may be that at some
time the school fund will be loser
some three million dollars.
These amendments are impor
tant and The Journal hopes the
people of Fayette county will care
fully consider them and turn out
on eleotion day and help to adopt
them.

Blair on
- -| - UK *
The able parliamentarian, Mr.
Blair, of San Antonio, in speaking
of Speaker Daahlell’s now ruling
In tba Blackburn case, expresses
himself In tbe San Antonio Ex-
rese as follows:
Tba passage of tbe Senate fee
bill was accomplished by methods
both revolutionary and tyranioal.
It was accomplished by one rep-
resentative, the Speaker, and not
by the Bouse itself. Tbe House
could not legally pass it under tbe
rules. Tbe House could not
change the rules, for more than
once tbe House has tried to do it,
to enable them by a bare majority]
to pass this very bill and such otb
ier vicious legislation as alleged]
Demacrats might want
“The roles of tbe House pro-J
vide that no member can be exl
cased except by a two-thirds vote]
of all tbe members present. The
member from Robertson county
was absent, not excused. On mauy
motions to excuse him tbe vote
stood abont 50 to 60. Under the
rules a vote could not be had on|
the fee bill until the Hous^was]
full or absentees excused.^
‘ The resolution declaring thel
absent member suspended stood
61 to 51 aud was deolared carried
by tbe 8peaker, by authority of
article 3, section 11 of tbe Consti-
tution, as follows: ‘Each House
may determine tbe rules ofits own
prooeedings, punish members for
disorderly couduct, and with the
consent of two-thirds of tbe mem-
bers, expel a member, but not a
second time for tbe same offense.’
“The ohair thereby held that the
member was deprived of all righte|
as a member as effectually as if
expelled and thereupon tbe Housel
became and was full and the ma-
jority was authorized to pass the
fee bill. Such a ruling has no
precedent or authority in civilized|
parliamentary bodies^^^^^^^H
“But the ruling was made delib-l
erately for two purposes. First,
the Speaker was trying by apeing
Reed in bis tyrauny to gain no-
toriety; second, it became neces-
sary to pass tbe Populist fee bill,
which be fought two years ago
and which he promised wonldl
never pass, which he publicly adl
mitted was clap-trap, and in keepl
ing with his record made as Speak]
er he overrode all rules and passed|
the bill.
“It will never become a law andl
If'it does it is unconstitutional.
The Senate will not ooncnr iu the
House amendments.”
THE FOUE SEASONS.
As Viewed by tbe Doctor, Bather
Than the Artist.
Thr Waylaud fee bill passed tbe
House Friday, after the hardest
fought contest known in Legisla-
tive history. It passed alone
through the arbitrary ruling of
the Speaker of the House, who in
his desire to carry through meas
ores wbioh be himself stated were
“clap trap,” ran rough-shod over
the rules of the House, over prec-
edent, all parlimentary law and tbe
Constitution of tbe State. The bill
is a miserable make shift, full of
inconsistencies, and carrying into
effect principles that areabborent
to free government. The bill has
not yet become a law. It goes back
to the Senate, as tbe house amen
ded it. Tbe Senate will either con-
cur in the amendments or oall for a
free conference committee, wbioh
will remodel the bill and try to
rush it through. The chances are
that tbe bill will finally pass.
Meanwhile democrats must cease
to criticise E. J. Davis and his ad
ministration. His Legislature was
exonsable to a certain extent for
its arbitrary conduct, owing to ig-
norance, but the Speaker of the
present House is an able and in
telligent man, who can render no
exouse for bis conduct.
Faybttb county’s representa-
tives oame very near succeeding
in their fight against tbe adjutant
general’s department. Represen-
tative Wolters offered an amend-
ment to the appropriation bill, to
strike out the appropriation for
the department, except that pro-
viding for the pay of Rangers
The amendment wae defeated by a
majority of only ten votes. Fail-

We often see in tbe magazines
reproductions of famous paintings
representing tbe Four Seasons.
They are generally personated by
beautiful women, and the typical
spring is generally a young girl.
She is bouyant and elastic, her
eyes are full of fire, ber form lie
som and graceful. Her obeeks
flush with health and there
breathes from the canvas the Im-
pression of radiant health.
It is true, we sometimes see our
young women in such state of
health iu the spring-time; but it is
the exception. Depression and
languor are generally in evidence
and tbe drooping listless-figure of
tbe school girl, tbe dragging step
of the housewife, are seen Iu nearly
every home. Perfect health is
rare in any season, but this is es-
ecially in spring. The great ma-
ority of the people need a tonic
n the spring. There are a great
many tonics and they are all taken
by the people to a greater or less
extent. But the one that seems
most popular at this time of the
year is Pe-rn-ua. It strengthens
tbe weary body invigorates tbe
nerves and clears the mind. It
leaves no bad effeot upon tbe sys-
tem when it is discontinued. Tbe
faot of the efficacy of Pe ru-na as
a spring tonic is becoming more
widely known every spring. More
Pe-ru na is being taken this spring
than ever before. The people
have learned that it is unfailing,
and so do not experiment, but im-
mediately buy Pe ru na when the
old listlessness of “spring fever’’
overtakes them.

The Colorado Citizen, recog-
nized throughout Texas by the
press ns the leader,1‘In conserva-
tism, in its last tssne published an
able editorial on tne Dingley Tar-
iff Bill, which the republicans re-
cently passed through the lower
House of Congress. Editor Ba-
ker concludes bis article by saying;
“It muBt be borne in mind that
tbe richest people do not pay
their pro rata of the expenses of
government, hiding their means
behind United States bonds and
stocks, and that tbe supreme
court, reversing its own decisions
sinoe tbe formation of tbe gov-
ernment, now says the income tax
is nncoDStimtional. So this in-
creased tax falls npon the poor
and middle classes the most heav-
ily. These oppressions of tbe
wealth producers, depriving them
of small luxuries and stinting them
as to the necessaries, must have
its effeot in causing business de-
pression, reaotiing up from the
producer to ihe manufacturer—
affecting oil aveuues.
Tbe republicans with their pro-
tection panacea threaten to over-
do the principle, militate ngainst
tbe prosperity of the country by
undue taxation and put business
into a chaotic slate which it will
take years of wise legislation to
correct.”
it is all thrown on those who use their
land, as well in elites as in the oonutry;
it is an uujust and awfully mischiov
ous tax that could have ever beeu pul
on ua.
Every possessor of tend uses bis laud
m lie thinks It most advantageous to
himself and if be has normal sense it is
bis own business how to use It, whetb-
al
er he works it well or not at at), it he
pays the proper taxes on it he ought
to be left alone. Even under the prev-
ent system if a man paya tax on a
hundred dollar horse it would be ab-
surd to tax him too, three times as
much when be works It. If a man has
a piece of laud he ought to pay tbe
same tax whether be makeB the best
use of It or lets it lay idle, because be
is a free man aud ought to decide for
himself how to use it.
Nobody can make laud and all have
the same right to the uae of the earth.
A laud title to A moans that all the
other people will abstain from using
that laud and allow him the exclusive
use, but of course they won’t do that

priaiion bill to final passage last
week, and got through before the
Senate did.
for uotbiug.if his laud is valuable, they
will ask a yearly tax or rent just ac-
cording to its value, aud this tax or
rent, will be very inoeh less for the
farmers than the present direct aud
iudirect tax, the tariff tax, aud what
he has to pay to protected industries;
this will be seen at a glauce when you
notice that all lauds city lots and mines,
too, will be taxed according to tbeir
unimproved value and all other taxes
abolished. This will bring all valuable
lands iuto use because it would not
pay to keop them idle; non-users of
land would offer their land for use.
But as long as inau existed there al-
ways has boen a great deal more land
than could be properly used. Reut

ABOUT TAXATION.
The farmer is treated very unjust
by our present tar laws. I have often,
wbilo walking uloug between ihe plow
handles, studied about this subject
We farmers and other consumers have
not only to pay our direct lax, but we
take a good many other taxes that wo
ought uot to pay, on our shoulders.
It will be plain to any thinking man
that all those taxes on ihe merchant,
on importation iu short, all the taxes
on the middleman, will have to be
shifted to the consumer because these
taxes increase the price of goods, just
as higher freight will increase them.
This shows that we consumers, aud
most of us are farmers, have after pay
ing our direct tax to also pay iu in-
creased price of goods the municipal
aud state lax of the middleman that
be only lays out for us, aud of couse
the National expenses which are col-
lected by internal revevnue aud tariff
are thrown outo us, every one of us
paying according to the quanity of
imported or piot.ecled goods he buys,
further ou, this system of collecting
(axes makes goods cheap in the hauds
of the producer aud high for tbe ulti<
mate buyer and consumer, therefore
causiug under-consumption, or what
some of us are pleased to call overpro-
duction Of course those taxes hurt
the merchant too because it will im
povorish his customers. There is one
part of the mc-rchttnts tax he can not
shift, aud that is a part of hia laud
value tax. to explain, let there be a
vacant lot between two stores, accord-
ing to present custom the land ou
either Improved lot will he valued
higher than the vacant lot, Is really no
laud tax hut a tax on enterprise aud
will be shifted to us. But the lax that
rests ou all lots, improved or not, ac-
cording to value cou uot be shifted be
cause it has the same nature with reut
aud it is well kuown that reut can not
be shifted
But now let ns turn to the farmers
direct taxes. The first question is,
where does he gel the money to pay
his taxes? the answer will be: by labor
on his laud. We may therefore say
that all bis tu-.es are cither a tax levied
according to tlie value of his laud, or
an iudirect land tax levied according
to how he behaves on the laud, this
last tax, for short the good behavior
tax, is not paid by the laud speculator,

Facts All in a Nutshell!
An undisputed fact: MISTROT BROS* & CO. buys for the spot cash,
sells for.the spot cash ; they handle more goods than any concern in the South;
they buy direct from the manufacturers and save you the middleman’s profit. An
inspection of their stock and low prices will convince the most skeptical.
Their business at LaGrange has been daily increasing. Customers once sold
to will always cOme back and bring their friends. Their LaGrange branch bids
fair to become one of their best established houses in the State.
