INDEXING THE HOUSE
JOURNALS
Statement of Chief Clerk Saddler.
Mr. A. D. Saddler Chief Clerk of
the House of Representatives in a
communication to Speaker Foster
claims that the journal or proceedings
or March za shows that the resolution
apportioning work amonjr the em
ployes of the House after adjourn
ment failed to pass.lancl that the Read
ing Clerk Mr. Finger lnconectly
stated the vote to De 43 ayes instead
of 41 ayes and 29 noes a total of 70
votes and one less than the requisite
number. lie also claims that Mr
Finger mis-stated the ?ote on Mr
Cravens' motion to table Mr. Davis'
motion to reconsider the vote an the
resolution.
Mr. Finger he states announced
to be 41 ayes and 41) noes while the
actual showing by names Mr. Sad
ler contends is 41 ayes and 41 noes
by which under the rules the motion
to table was lost ana not carried as
announced. Only 70 members having
voted according to Air. &aaier s show
ing Mr. Finger he says made a mis
take in reporting 71 voted an error
which- jufct sufficed to make a quorum.
Mr. Sadler to quote his own words
further says; "To prevent a vote on
the motion to reconsider by which
vote I have the strongest reasons to
believe the House would have reced-
ed from its seemingly adoption of
the re3oluilon it was necessary that
the motion to tnble should prevail
Forty-ono voted aye and forty-one
voted no. as a eimpla addition of
names will verify but Mr. Finger
made the mistake ot amnouuemg the
vote as forty-one ayes and forty noes
which was jiut mistake enough to
make it appear that the motion had
carried."
"It Is enough to show that the reso
lution failed of adoption (Mr. Sadler
concludes) and ia consequently with
out legal force or euect and that
there is no authority by any other
resolution for officers or employes of
me uouse to perform or receive pay
lor services performed after adjourn-
ment. If any of them have performed
or snau assume to perrorm services as
pertaining by precedent and usage to
their several positions it will rest
with the Legislature hereafter to
provide proper compensation to those
who in its judgment have acted
la eood faith."
The above presents the material is-
sues as to the record according tor Mr
Sadler's showing divested of the per
sonal allusions of his communication
to parties concerned with him in the
issue.

MINOR MATTERS.
SCENE IN COURT.
A .Reporter Assaulted by an Irate
.Female Her Attorney Draws
A. Keyolver.
In Sunday's issue of The Daily
Statesman there appeared a para-
graph that highly offended a notoriuos
woman ot the First Ward named
Mollie Seymour. She was so highly
incensed that she went to. several
places in search of the offending re-
porter breathing dire threats
of vengeance. I3ut as re-
porters are almost always on
the go she didn't succeed in getting
an interview with the object of her
wrath until yesterday afternoon.
About half-past 4 o'clock the city
editor of The Statesman was ap-
proached by Deputy-Sheriff M. 13.
Crenshaw who told him that he must
go before Justice I'urnell and give
bond at the same time producing a
warrant for hfs" arrest. The charge
was for "imputing a lack of chastity
to a female. It seemed a somewhat
strange pretext on which to issue a
warrant taking all the facts into
consideration but the reporter went
along with the officer to Justice Fur-
nell's court room located on the sec-
ond story just above the Bank Saloon
on East Pecan street. There were
E resent the woman Mollie Seymour
er attorney It. II. Brumby and his
Honor the Justice.
The proceedings seemed rather in-
formal and as it afterwards turned
out exceedingly irregular. The wo-
man was armed with a short stick
about the size of an ordinary walking
cane. She was evidently m a rage
some talk ensued which resulted in
the reporter being placed under bond.
Suddenly the woman approached him
and dealt two rapid blows on his
shoulder with her heavy cane. It
didn't hurt him but as she kept up the
attack with an annoying perseverance
he was forced to defend himself as
best he could using no other weapon
than those of nature. At this her
lawyer. It. H. Brumby interfered by
""drawing a six-shooter cocking it
and nourishing it in a threatening
manner evidently with the in-
tention of shooting the reporter.
The justice and deputy then inter-
fered and matters were for a time
quieted. The reporter withdrew but
was followed up without being aware
of it by the irate Mollie and asjain
assaulted. The affair will probably
come up in the courts.
A BIG .BLUNDER.
About the Itaeket-Sbop BUI A Senator
Thinks It Inoperative.
On account of the late sensational
developments in regard to what was
known as tha "bucket L:op" bill it
may interest the public to know that
although the bill parsed " both houses
of the Legislature and afterwards re-
ceived the Governor's signature it is
quite likely to be of no force.
Senator Jerdone was the first to dis-
cover the discrepancy that is very apt
to prove fatal to the measure
to suppress the "bucket-shops."
On a careful scrutiny of the bill yes-
terday he saw it was entitled an act
to amend chapter 2 title 2 of the re-
nal Code by adding to article 354 an-
other article to be classed as 354a. The
iliw was seen in an Instant. Title 2
of the Fena! Code contains no such
article as 354 and article 354 of the
Penal Code which the bill seektto
amend is found under title 11 which
Dertaias to Quite another matter
is soon as ne bad sausned nimseir
of the defect Senator Jerdone called
on Gov. Ireland and asked him
if he had noticed the blun
der. - He had not done so
Supposing everything in proper shape
the Governor had signed his name to
the bUL un being reterred to tne
statutes the inaccuracy stated above
was pointed out. whereupon he re
marked "I guess that makes it inop-
erative' or words to the same ef
fect.
Thus it will be seen that after all
the efforts of the honorable gentleman
from Harris (Tankersley) the "bucket
shops" are still in the ring and the
"future business not altogether
thin ot the past. But the question
arises who made the mistake i How
did such an egregious error ever man'

dental? pr was it a sleek schemer

THE BATTLE FLAft.
Col. Stephen II. Darden was the last
man who bore the nag of the ourth
Texas Itegiment alluded to in yester
day's statesman in the battle of
Sharpsburg. This was after four
others had fallen as the standard-
bearers of the regiment. Col. Carter
of Austin who was commander ot
the regiment died of wounds received
in the service.
NOVKL 8CHEHE
A couple of Austin men intend
running a little steamer from the foot
of th Avenue to Mount Bonnell for
the benefit of pleasure seekers and
picnic parties. The have already a
force at work clearing a channel of
some 25 feet in width by 3 in depth to
give tree passage to their vessel.
There are only a few bad places to be
opened up by removal of rocksgravel.
etc. An engine has been sent for and
expected to arrive every day. The
little steamer will have seating room
for about fifty passengers. There
seems no reason way the plan should
not be a success.
A FAMOUS FLAG.
Upon application made to Gov. Ire
land the old battle nag of the 4th
Texas regiment was yesterday for
warded by Capt. W. C. Walsh who
was an officer of the command to
Baltimore where a bazaar is to be
held sometime during the month for
the benefit of Confederate soldiers.
The flag was presented to the regi-
ment by Miss Louise Wigfall (now
Mrs. Wright of Baltimore) who is the
daughter of ex-Senator Louis T. Wier-
f all. To it are attached pennants in-
dicating engagements In which the
banner was borne including the bat
tle of Sharpsburg where it was gal
lantly defended by a remnant of but
sixty of its brave followers. It will
probably be accompanied by the
touching letter of ; Col. Hood (subse-
quently Major - General Hood) ac-
knowledging its reception and the
even more touching letter of Col. Car
ter of Austin who was in command
ot the regiment when the flag was
returned to Miss WigtalJ while still
at home in Texas.

size Clifton has more law-abiding citi-
zens to the square yard than any other
town in Texas: does a larger business
in farm machinery than any other
three towns of its size in the State;
that many of the farmers thereabouts
say that the prospects for a good wheat
crop are splendid.
Several of the most extensive Pan
handle ranchmen are .preparing for
the planting of Johnson grass sor

held by the thousands at less
proportionate expense and there's

men experimented in this direction to
some extent last year and this winter
have blessed the day and wished t he
number of acres had been multiplied
by at least ten. .

Says the Toledo Bee:
There seems to be a growing dislike

among Republicans. It is claimed by
the recent standard-bearer of the Re
publican party that the difference
between uieveiana ana me nepuoii-

The great trouble with American
women i3 as a friend slightly given
to slang says "they are too big for
their boots" or to speak more plainly
thev desire to assume more than their
actual standing. This is the trouble
in pvery grade of life whether it be
that of "the working irl or the grand
dame the wife of the millionaire and
leader in society. The shop-girl Is no
longer a shop girl she is a saleslady
and verv soon the kitchen girl will be
transformed into the kitchen lady.
Not that either of these parties
may not - be as worthy of the title
riady" as the wife or daughter
of the millionaire but it seems ab
surd to tissume it or give it. We

lie Hakes to the Public a Fair Prop-
osition. In the matter of temperance writes
Bill Nye to the San Francisco Ingle-
side I may say that no one would
pick me out as a radical on either side
of the question. It is mv doctrine
that the evil of intemperance . will
work Its own destruction when the
proper time comes. We may get
ireny weary waiting ior tne day
of our emancipation but it is certain-
ly unwise to make the cause of tem-
perance obnoxious by feeding It to the
people day-times and then waking
them up in the night to ask them if
they have violated their solemn obli
gation. You may convince a reason
able human being but you can not
teach him a great truth by painting it
ou uouru ience in tne civilized world
and then running them into those
board fences till vou have smashed his
nose several times and taught him to
despise both you and the cause you
represent.
The above solemn chunk of philoso-
pny was written ior me by a warm.
personal friend who told me that
when I got tired of writine mere froth
and foam and foolishness for the
amusement of a sorrowing world and
wisnea to put togetner a rew sen
tences of sense to surprise the public
with he would be tickled to death to
.come around after office hours and
write me a few without charge.
isuc it is not on tne subject of tem
perance itself that I started out to
speak. I desire to propound to the
readers of The Ingleside a conundrum
or query. It is this: Why is it when
a man becomes beastly drunk idioti-
cally inebriated and hilariously full.
he will start out at once with what
remaining strength he may have to
hunt me up and converse with me
till his lower jaw gets loose and fall
on the ground with a sickening thud ?
Is it because I am good natured and
snow usually conversational powers or
Is it because the idea of huntinar me
up and associating with me does not
occur to a man until he is verv. very
drunk ?
However this may be. It is indeed a
chilly day when I do not spend an
hour or two in conversation with a
man who is uproariously drunk
sieepy drunk confidentially drunk
tearfully drunk affectionately drunk
maudlin drunk musically drunk in-
coherently drunk sorrowfully drunk
abusively drunk politically drunk
oratorically drunk disorderly drunk
peacefully drunk ornamentally drunk
or simpiy aruns.
He may be in a neighboring State
when the wild ungovernable desire
comes over him to put some-
thing in his . mouth
which will ultimately steal away his
brains unless he has taken the pre
caution to have them concealed about
his person but in the first stage of his
inebriety ne gets a ticket to where I
am and then he goes on with the de-
bauch. He generally finds me last
and he sails up to wh-re I am and be
gins to converse. It seems to me now
tnat a great deal of my time is taken
up conversing with parties who meet
me on the streets on the . street or at
stations or in hotels and then talk
with me several hours at a time while
under the influence of intoxicating
liquor. .
I presume 1500 men have held me
by the hand and sworn that every-
thing they had was at my service.
Money clothes houses jewelry or
anything else they had was none too
good for me. Then they would wring
my hand again and start to go away
but they would always return and
talk some more and when I would
swoon and fall over they would re
luctantly go away. When I ventured
to remind them next day of their kind
offers to supply me with funds they
most geaerain fail to call it to mind.
Semetimes they ask me in an injured
tone of voice if I expected to hold a
man responsible for all the promises
he makes to the innumerable common
fools he meets while druok.
So I desire to give notice in this
public wav that on end after this
date I shall not hold any more open-
air communications with common
drunkards and as I want to be per-
fectly fair and just toward all I am
willing to bind myself in a similar
way not to try to converse with sober
people while I may be drunk. Now if
there be anything unfair or unreason-
able about this proposition 1 am will-
ing to alter it so that no one can find
fault with it. I want to do exactly
what is right and I do not require
anything whatever of others that I
am not perfectly willing myself to
submit to.

In the "Life of Rodney" it is re
lated that at the famous victory of
the 12th of April 1782 a bantam cock
perched himself upon the poop of
Rodney's ship and at avery broadside
that was poured into the Ville de
Paris clapped his wings and crowed.
Rodney gave special orders that this
cock should be taken care of as long
as he lived.
Under the Stuarts arose a new f esh-

James statutes are full of enactments

stocks were freely threatened
but it seems seldom used.
About 1770 it became the fashion to
wear two watches. In a rhyming

A loftv cane a sword with sliver hilt.
A ring two watches and a snuff-box gilt.

It was an ancient custom among
the German race -when a case in dis

the wager of battle to refer it to

Yet even as late as the tenth century
an emperor of Germany (Otto L 983
A. D.) refused to decide certain dif

to refer them to the sword.

Spain contemplates imposing a pro

following in the wake or a ranee ana
Germany. This action can have but
little influence on Amtrican produce

Some idea of the extent of the con
