fvamcss of our present organic law .recognizingthe fact that however much it might be re-garded as au improvement upon aU precedingstate constitutions, it, like all other hiunanproductions, would be found by experienceand trial to be in some of its parts at least,imperfect, and that amendments theretowould in time be demanded by the b"est inter-ests ol the state, by the mode aud manner bywhich it might be amended, as follows: Sec"1, article 17 The legislature, at any triennialsession, by a vote o two-third- s of all theuieuiiicrs iected to each house, to be enteredby y-a- s aud nays ou the journal, may proposeamendments to the constitution, to be votedupon by tiie qualified electors ior members ofthe legislature, which proposed amendmentsshall be duly published once a week for fourweeks, commcucmg at least threemonths before . an election, thetime of which shall be specifiedby the legislature iu one weekly newspaper ofcacn county iu which such a newspaper is pub-lished : and it shall be the duty of the severalreturning officers of the said election, to opena poll ior "and make returns to tlie secretaryof state of the number of legal votes cast atsaid election, ior and against said amend-ments: and if more than oue be proposed, thenthe number of votes cast "for aud against eachot thein: and if it shall appear from said re-turns that a majority of the votes cast havebeen 111 favor of any amendment, the saidameuoment so receiving a majority of thevo:es cast, shall become a part of tne constitntion. and a proclamation shall be made bythe governor 1 hereof."

In conformity thereto, the eighteenth legis-lature have siibniiited for your approval or re-jection the following joint resolutions, each ofwhich contains a proposition to amend thesection or sections of the cousl ltution thereinreferred to. We will present t hem iu their or-der First, joint resolution No. 2 proposesamendment to sections 4 aud 6, of article 7, ofthe present constitution, which require theinvestment of all the proceeds of thesales of the school lands bel ngingto tlie state, and to the several counties iuTexas, in state bonds, or In United Statesbonds. The amendment proposed so changessection 4 as to empower the comptroller, underinstructions of the Boar. I of Education, to in-vest tlie proceeds of the sale of tlie state schoollands in Texas state bonds, in United Statesbonds, Texiis couuty bonds, or such other se-curities a may be provided by law, audmakes the state responsible for all invest-ments : and section 6 is so chauged that theproceeds of the sale of couuty school bondsmay be invested iu state or United State bonds,or such other securities as may be prescribed by-law, and makes the comities responsible forall investments. Tlie interest thereon, andother revenue, except tlie principal, shall bethe available school tund.

The purpose of the legislature In proposingthis amendment is made mauifest by the con-sideration of the fact that the premium of bothstate and federal bonds is so high as comparedto the rate of interest they bear, that to con-tinue to invest the funds in eitherwould be destructive to the primeobject for which the investment is madetiiat is, the security of an available schoolfund. i

Second, Section 9, article a, of the present 'constitution, authorizes the levy ot not more j

than '.0 cents on the (luo valuation, exclusive,of the tax to pav the public debt, and nocountv, citv or tow n shall levy more than one- - (

half oi said state tax, exit-p-t for payment of j

debts already iucurn-d- , and for the erection ofpublic buildings, not to exceed 50 ceuts on the i

Siuo valuation in any one year, and except as ;

in this constitution is otherwise provided.Tiie amendment- proposed to the foregoing by

resolution No. 4 is iu substance as follows:i ii tax o:i proi-erty-

There is such ambig-uity iu section e as it now reads, that tin-r-

is great diversity of opinoin as to tlie maximumrate of taxation permuted to counties, citiesand town, which question will be definitelysettled by the adoption of the pnxsi-"- lamendment. It also authorizes the levy l.vthe county commissioners' court of a tax' notto exceed fifteen cents on oue hundred dollarsvaluation, for roads aud bridges, a powerwhich the legislature thought might well belodged with tlie court for that purpose.

Third: Section 3, article 7. of the presentconstitution, reads as follows: "Tnere shallbe set apart annually no more than one quar-ter of the general of tlie statedaud a poll tax if one dol-lar on all male inhabitantsof the slate between tin-- ages of aud soyears for the benefit of public free school 6.Joint resolution No. a proposes to amend saidsection so as to hereafter read as follows:Section 3 "One-fourt- h of the revenues de-rived from the state's occupation txe and apoll tax of one dollar on every male inhabi-tant of this state between the ages of 21 and 00years shall be set apart for tlie benefit of tliepublic schools of the state, and iu additionthereto shall be levied and collected 'an advalorem state tax of such an amount not to ex-ceed twenty cents on the one hundred dollarsvaluation, as with tlie available school fundarising from all ottier sources will be sufficientto maintain and support the public free schoolsof tlie state uot less than six mouths in eachyear, and the legislature may provide for t In-formation of school districts in all or any oftue counties of tills stateig--,

Tli-- i limitation upon tlie amount ofthe district tax herein authorized shall not ap-ply to incorporated cities or towns, constii g

were more h:rmouiously united thanthat of the great wisdom of the establishmentand maintalnance by the state of an efficientsystem of public free schools, the attainmentof this desideratum by legislation, workingunder our preseut orgauic law, has been dem-onstrated by experience of vears to be impos-sible, except by the keeping of the state advalorem tax at such figures as will draw fromtiie pockets of .tax payers largeiv in excess ofthe a mount lii.cessarv to carry on the exwnsesof the state government, economically admin-istered. In otaer words, your legislature foundit impossible l reduce the State ad valoremtax to the miuiumut-iieei-ssnzylb- the suppoi tof the government, without at tlie same timeincurring the mortification of having to starvethe schools, uemembering the fact that

of Texas, of all parties, with remark-able unanimity during the last political can-vass iu tlie state, demanded of their candi-dates for legislative favors that toe- - shouldsubmit to them a proposition toso amend the constitution as to enable thelegislature hi the future to separate the schooltax from that land for the support o tiie rt

to ihe end that tlie st.-t- tax might bereduced to the proper figur. s, without detri-ment of schools and to the elimination, ior thefuture, to' a very great extent of the schoolquestion from the field of politics: in responseto which demand, tiie legislature submittedtiie foregoing amendment. The legislaturewas of tiie opinion that the maximum, allowedto be levied by the promised amount would bssumcieut, with the addition of the revenuesfrom other sources to which schools are en-titled, to give the very best of school facilitiesfor at least six months in the year, vvhi- h, inthe opinion of a majority of them, was as longa time as free schools should be now supportedby general state taxation, from the fair thatthe agricultural classes, who pav the bulk oftaxes, in consequence of being compelled toutilize the (ahor of the children of scholasticages in the cnltiv tion and harvesting of theircrops.cannot ,as a general rulcavail themselvesof the benefit of a longer term ol school thansix months in the year This joint resolutionwas passed by an almost unanimous votethrough both branches of tlie legislature, un-der the firm couviction that it was demanded,not only by all political parties, but bv thevery best and highest interests of the state.

Fourth: Joint resolution No. tt proposes anamendment to artiele 5, of the constitution,adding section 8, which simply has the effectof authorizing tlie county commissioners'courts of the several counties to reduce tlienumber of terms of county courts to not lessthan four terms iu any one year for both civilaud criminal business, instead of at least sixterms for civil and twelve terms for criminalbusiness, as the constitution now requires,which amendment, it was thought, would re-duce tlie expense of tlie courts without preju-dice to tlie efficiency of tlie judicial system.The legislature, realizing the difficulty ofhaving the changes which are sougfit toIre effected in the present constitution, andthe reasons therefor sufficiently advertised togive tlie people a fair understanding of theirimportance and purpose, and knowing thatthe people of Texas, in consequence of theirconservatism, for which they are so much dis-tinguished, are disposed to vote agaiust anvchange in their organic law which they do notfully and clearly uuperstand, adopted the fol-lowing concurrent resolution :

" Resolved, That a committee of three mem-bers from the senate aud three from the housebe appointed Ut prepare an address to thepeople, touching the constitutional amend-ments adopted bv the eighteenth legislature.fiviug reasons for changes therein proposed in

law, and the explanation of theirpurposes, 10 me enu mat tue great oouy 01 mepeople may be fully informed with referencethereto, aud better able to vote understand-ing upou the question of their adoption orrejection-- "

The undersigned were appointed such com-mittee in compliance with the foregoing reso-lution, and, iu jierformance of the duty im-posed, thev present the foreeoine exnbmationof the Joint resolution by which "the proposedamendments are offered for your adoption orrejection, aud some of the reasons wdiich in- -nueucea ine legislature in submitting the samefor your ratification.

The Source of Those MysteriousTroubles that Come to EveryHousehold Explained.The following article from the

Democrat and Chronicle, of Roches-ter, N. Y., is of a striking nature andemanates from so reliable a sourcethat it is herewith en-tire. In addition to the valuablematter it contains, it will be foundexceedingly interesting:To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle:

Sir My motives for the publica-tion of the most unusual statementswhich follow, are, first, gratitude forthe fact that I have been saved froma most horrible ?eath, and, secondly,a desire to warn all who read thisstatement a?ainst some of the mostdeceptive influences by which theyhave ever been surrounded. It is afact that to-da- y thousands of peopleare within a foot of the grave andthey do not know it. To tell hovi Iwas caught away from just this posi-tion and to warn others against near-in- g

it, are my objects in this com-munication.

On the first day of June 1881, 1 layat my residence in this city surroun-ded by my friends and waiting fordeath. Heaven only knows the agonyI then endured, tor words can neverdescribe it. And yet, if a few yearsprevious, any one had told me that Iwas to be brought so low, and by soterrible a disease, 1 should have scoffedat the idea. 1 had always been un-commonly strong and healthy, hadweighed over 200 pounds and hardlyknew, in my own experience! whatpain or .sickness were. Very manyVeople who will read this statementrealize at times that they are unusu-ally tired and cannot account for it.They feel dull and indefinite pains invarious parts of the body and do notunderstand it. Or they are exceeding-ly hungry one day and entirely with-out appetite the next. This was ju?tthe way I felt when the relentlessmalady whicn had fastened itselfupon me first began. Still I thoughtit was nothing; that probably I hadtaken a cold which would soon passaway. Shortly after this I noticed aheavy, and at times a neuralgic, painin my head, but as it would come oneday and be gone the next, I paidbut little attention to it. .How-ever, my stomach was out oforder and my food often failed to di-

gest, causing at times great inconve-nience. Yet 1 had no idea, even as aphysician, that these things meantanything serious, or that a monstrousdiseae was becoming fixed upon me.Candidly, 1 thought I was sufferingfrom malaria, and so doctored myselfaccordingly. IJut 1 got no better. In xt noticed a peculiar color and odorabout the fluids I was passing alsothat there were large quantities oneday and very little th." next, and thata persistent froth and scum appearedupon the surface, aud a sediment set-tled ia the bottom. And yet I lidnot realize my danger, for, indeed,seeing these symptoms contin ually, Ifinally became accustomed to them.and my suspicion wai wholly dis-- jarmed by the fact that I had no pain

j in the affected organs or in their vi-- ;cinitv. Why I should have been s.tblind I cannot understand.

There is a trri! Ivtire n'l

cul condition, and amused inysvlf loven-nin- e it. And. oli! how hard 1

tri i!! I eonsulted I hi best nied'i- - ilthe land. 1 visited all tin-- 1

imminent mineral springs in Americaiiiil traveled from .Maine to California.Still 1 grew worse. o two physi-cians agreed as to uiy malady. Onesaid I was troubled wiih spinal irrita-tion; another, nervous prostration;another, miliaria; another, dyspepsia;anothi r, heart disease; anot er, gen-eral debility: another, congestion ofthe base of the; brain; and so onthrough a long list of common dis-eases, the symptoms of all of whichI really had. In this way severalyears passed, during all of which time

was steadily growing worse. Mycondition had become pitiable. Theslight symptoms I at first experiencedwere developed into terribledisorders the little twigs of pain hadgrown to oaks of agony. Mv weighthad been reduced sro'm 207 to 130pounds. My life was a torture tomyself and friends. I could retain nofood upon my stomach, and livedwholly Dy injections, I was a livingmass of pain. My pulse was uncon-trollable. In my agony I frequentlyfell upon the rioor, convulsivelyclutched the carpet, and prayed fordeath. Morphine had little or noeffect in deadening the pain. For sixdays aud nights I had the death-premonito- ry

hiccoughs and constantly.My urine was filled with tube castsand albumen. I was struggling withBright's disease of the kidneys in itslut stages.

While suffering thus I received acall from my pastor, the Rev. Dr.Foote, rector of St. Paul's church, ofthis city. I felt that it was our lastinterview, but in the course of con-versation he mentioned a remedy ofwhich I had heard much but hadnever used. Dr. Foote detailed to methe many remarkable cures whichhad come under his observation, bymeans of this remedy, and urged meto try it. As a practicing physicianand it graduate of the schools, I cher-ished the prejudice both natural andcommon with nil regular practitioners,and derided the idea of any medicineoutside the refir'jfac channels beingthe last bent ficiiij"- - So solicitiouf.however, Dr. dPDote, improvpromised I would jwaive my prejudice K-e- Yorkaut n.y iic reuieuj ne ho mgtuy re-commended. I began its use on the1st day of June and took it accordingto directions. At first it sickened me;out, inis 1 tnougnt was a good sienfor me in my ilebilitated condition.I concluded to take it ; the sickeningsensation departed and I was able toretain lood upon inv stomach. In afew days I noticed a decided changefor the better, as also did my wifeand lnends. My hiccoughs ceasedand I experienced less pain thanformerly. I was so rejoiced at thisimproved condition that, upon whatI had believed a few days before wasmy dying bed, I vowed, in the pres-ence of my family and friends, shouldI recover I would publicly and pri-vately make known this remedy forthe good of humanity, wherever andwhenever I had an opportunity. 1also determined that I would give acourse of lectures in the CorinthianAcademy of Music in this city, stat-ing in full the symptoms and almosthopelessness of my disease and theremarkable means by which I havebeen saved. My improvement wasconstant from that time, and in lessthan three months I had gained twenty-si- x pounds in tiesh, became entirwly tree from pain, and I believe I owemy life and present condition whollyto Warner's Safe Cure, the remedywhich I used.Since my recovery I have thoroughly

the subject of kidneydifficulties and Bright's disease, andthe truths developed are astounding.I therefore state, delibeaately, and asa physician, that I believe more thanone-ha- lf the deaths which occur inAmerica are caused by Bright's dis-ease of tne kidneys. This may soundlike a rash statement, but 1 am pre-pared to fully verify it. Bright's dis-ease has no distinctive symptoms ofits own, (indeed, it often developswithout any pain wha ever in thekidneys or their vicinity), but has thesymptoms of neary

tt jevery, other known.

compiami. nunareus 01 people aredaily, whose burials are authorized bya physician's certificate of "heartdisease," appoplexy," --paralysis,""spinal complaint, "rheumatism,""pneumonia," and other common disease, when in reality it was Bright'sdisease of the kidneys. Few -- physicians,

and fewer people, realisethe extent of this diseaes or itsdangerous and insidious nature.It steals into the systemlike a thief, manifests its presence bythe commonest symptoms, and fast-ens itself upon t ie constitution beforethe victiiii is aware. It is nearly ashereditary as consumption, quite ascommon and fully as fatal. Entirefamilies, inheriting it from their an-cestors, have died, and yet none of thenumber knew or realized the mys-terious power which was movingthem. Instead of common symptomsit often shows none whatever, butbrings deatn suddenly, and as such isusually supposed to be heart disease.As one who has suffered, and knowsby bitter experience what be says, Iimplore every one who reads thesewords not to neglect the slightestsymptoms of kidney difficulty. Cer-tain agony and possible death will bethe sure result of such neglect, andno one can afford to hazard suchchances.

I am aware that such an unqualified statement as cms, coming fromme, known as I am, throughout theentire land as a practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the surprise andpossible animosity of the medical pro--

tession ana astonisn all witn whom Iam acquainted, but I make the fore-going statements, based upon factswhich I am prepared to produce, andtruths which I can substantiate tothe letter. The welfare of those whopossibly may be suff rers, such as" Iwas, is'an ample inducem. nt for moto tiike the step 1 have, and if 1 cansuccessfully warn others from thedangerous path in which I oncewalked, I am willing to endure allprofessional and personal c6nsequen-ce- s.

What Men Seed "Wires For.Market Journal. J

It is not to sweep the house, andmake the beds, and darn the socks,and cook the meals, chiefly that aman wants a wile. If this is all,when young man calls to see a lady,send him him into the pantry to tastethe bread and cakes she has made;send him to inspect the needle-wor- k

and g; or put a broom intoher hands and send him to witness itsuse. Such things are important, andthe wise young man will quietly lookafter them. But what a true manmost wants of a wife is her compan-ionship, sympathy and love.

The .way of life has many drearyplaces in it, and man needs a compan-ion to go with him. A man is some-times overtaken by misfortune; hemeets with failure and defeat; trialsand temptations beset him; and heneeds one to stand by him and sympa-thize.

He has some stern battles to fightwith poverty, with enemies and withsin, and he needs a woman that,while he puts his arm around herand feels that he has something totight for. will help him fight; whowill put her lips to his ear and whis-per words of counsel, and her hand tohis heart and impart new inspira-tions All through life throughstorm and through sunshine, conflictand victory; through adverse and fa-

vorable winds man needs a woman'slove. The heart yearns for it. Asister's and a mother's love willhardly supply the need.

Yet many seek for nothing furtherthan sue ess in housework. Justlyenough, half of these get nothingmore. The other halfV surprised abovemeasure, obtain more than theysought. Their wives surprise thembv bringing a nolilerideaof marriage,and a treasury of courage,sympathy and love.

Note. The above Diaobam illustrates the comparative worth of various BakingPowders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Bchedler.A one pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume ineach can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth byProf. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal BaktarPowder know3 by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per poundmore than ordinaiy kinds. It is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advan-tage of better work. single trial the Royal Baking Powder will convince anyfair minded person of these facts.

While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degreeof strength than other powders ranked below them, it Is not to be taken as indies- -ting that they have any value. AU alum powders, no matter how high their strenata.fe-tobe avoided as dangerous.

If you would not have trouble withheaves in your horses be sure thatthey are fed no dusty and dirty hay,which is the prolific source of this an-noyance. Ordinary clean hay can al-

ways be fed with safety if properlycut up, moistened and mixed witngrown grain; but to feed the mustyor dirty sorts is very injurious. Clo-ver, owing to its liability to crumble,often gets dirty, even after storage,and should never be fed without be-ing previously moistened.

Frofessor Arnold says the points iafavor of dairying are: First, a dairy '

farm costs 10 per cent less to operatethat grain growing or mixed agricul-ture. Second, the annual returns av-erage a little more than other branch-es. Third, prices are nearer uniformand more reliable. Fourth, dairyingexhausts the soil less. Fifth, it is ,more secure against changes in theseason, since dairyman does not suf-fer so much from wet, frost and vary-ing seasons, and he can, if prudent,protect against drought.
