a decision which de
' attempt to interfere With
" ~ of Federal courti nn
act in
'W
yond the tacidental prohibition
against transfers of canses to tbe
ta. The act is not an
derstood to be invalid because one
jrtfplfr in it is invalid and nugatory.
There remains in foroe and effect the
following provisions at least, viz:
Section 1. Be it enactcd, etc., that
any corporation for pecu-
profit organized under the laws
of ray other SUte or of any Territory
of tbe United States, or of any foreign
Country, desiring to transact business
in this SUte, shall be "and is hereby
lired on and after January 1,
to llo with the secretary , of
State a certified copy of its articles of
incorporation, duly attested, accom-
panied by a resolution of its Board of
Directors Or stockholders authorizing
the filing thereof, and also authorizing
service of prccess to be mado upon
ioy of its officers or ageuts io this
State engaged ia transacting its busi
ness in this State, said application to
oantain a stipulation that said per
mit shall be subject to ea?b of the
provisions of this act. And thereupon
the secretary of State shall issue to
such corporations a permit for the
general transaction of the business of
such corporation j and upon tho re
ceipt of such permit such corporation
shall be permitted and authorized to
carry on its business in this State.
Section 2. No foreign corporation
which bos not in good faith complied
with the provisions of this est and
taken out a permit shall hereafter be
authorized to exercise tho power of
eminent domain or exeroise any of
the righis and privileges conferred
upon such corporations until it has
complied herewith and taken out such
permit.
Secton 3 contains tho provision de
dared unconstitutional. Sestion 4
prescribes the penalty for doing busi-
ness without a permit, and defines a
foreign corporation within tbe meau
ing of the rot to bo "any corporation
not organized undor and by vlVtue of
the laws of this Stats." It appears
that any corporations organizad in
other States and foreign oountries
may, under this act, incorporate in
Texas. They may acquire the right
to exercise the power of eminent do
main and the rights and privileges
conferred by charte s granted else
whore which in effcct are renewed
here as Tesas charters. Any cor-
poration for p cuniary profit will in-
clude a railroad or a telegraph com-
pany, which may exercise the power
of eminent domain in Texas. The
constitution prohibits a railroad oo*n-
pauy organized under tho laws of
Texas from consolidating wity any
railroad company organized under
the laws of any other State, or
of tbe United States, but this
act permits any compauy, organized
under tho laws of another State, to
raild, own and operate a railroad in
this State. The legislatures recently
Javo been disposed to prohibit tho in
corporation of land companies in this
State; but the inhibition is of no avail,
since this new not permits a land cor-
poration of another Stato to transact
busineas and exercise and enjoy all its
corporate rights and franchises in
Teias. The oit prescribes no offico
fees, but inakeB it the duty of the
secretary of Stat a to iisuo tho permit
when it is applied for in the manner
tho not preeciibes. So whore tho char,
tor feos in another State .e less than
they ore io Texas, companies may ob
tain charters in such State with the
sole purpose of doing business
Texas. This act is certainly a very
friendly measure to the corporations,
coming as it does from a legislature
iufeoted with an aggravated tj pe of
ohaiter phobia.—Dallas News.

There seems t-> be a droad woigh
ing on the minds of many that there
will be a return of tbe dongue this

followed by most disastrous results.
This is considered doubtful by pby

there have been too many raion

As to the origin, cause and
general workings of the epidemic
we have no knowledge, but we are
satisfied that about 9,000 people in

••I saw one of the most splendid of
compositions in the English tongue
written," said ex-Congressman Ed-
ward McPherson, while chatting
about some of his recollections of Lin*
coin recently. "I believe that it is ad-
mitted now by scholars that for sub-
limity of thought, simplicity and yet
elegance of expression, lucidity and
purity of diction, Mr. Lincoln's brief
oration at the dedication of the Na-
tional Cemetery at Gettysburg takes
place with tbe loftiest specimens of
oratory. Many regard it as the one
oration of this century that will be
preserved with tbe English tongue.
Vet Mr. Lincoln wrote it on his knee
in a railroad car. It was practically
an extemporaneous composition; that
is, in tbe sense that it was wholly un-
premeditated. He simply committed
to paper the thought that was upper-
most in his min^and he had on idea
whatever that he tiod written uy.
thing more than a passing thought in
the event that he was to assist in
commemorating.
"I represented the Gettysburg die-
drlct in Congress at the time of the
battle','and at the dedication of the
cemetery Mr. Lihcoln was my guest.
He was not sure that he could be
present when lie was first asked, but
said that he should go to Gettysburg
if possible. I think he was not pre-
pared to sivy positively that he would
go until a very few hours before the
time set for leftvjpg Washington. So
he could not have given any thought
to the oration before, I was his seat
mate in the car, and thouah he talked
pleasantly, and spoke of the country
through which we were passing, yet I
thought he was laboring with one of
those spells Of profound melancholy
With which he was at times afflicted.
He spoke of Mr. Everett, who was to
deliver the chief pration, and said
that Everett ought to .be ftt his besfc.
I knew that Mr. Everett hod given
even more than his usual care in pre-
paring this oration, and looked upon
nis work as a masterpiece, and
I believe I told Mr. Lincoln
so, and he said that the theme was
gpeat enough to inspire such an ora-
tor as Everett tq his best. Mr. Lin-
coln, I think, had not thought flf say-
ing anything himself, but 1 told him
he would be expected to make a few re-
marks, for It would not be permitted
him to be silent. He eat for some
moments absorbed in thought, and
at last began to feel in his pockets,
as if tor looss papep. J asked him if
he wanted paper OJid pencil, and he
said "Yes, a scrap of paper," and J
opened my valise and gave him two
or three sheet* of note paper, He
drew up his long knees, and, putting
a book on them, wrote, jotting down,
as I supposed, a few heads or sugges-
tions. He wrote right along, without
hesitation pr prMurSi and tilled one
page and part of anotliui.- Thui) )ui
folded it up and put it in his pocket,
simply Baying that he had set down a
few lines that had occurred to him to
say.
"At the cemetery, at the proper
time, he arose, put on his spectacles,
and drew these nlieets from Ids pock-
et. 1 do not think he had looked at
them again after writing t hem in the
cars, and in a low voice, which could
be heard but a few feet away (rom the
stage, he read those nplendid lines.
Tho few who heard him were most
profoundly inpressed, but upon the
vast throng who saw 1dm the oration
made no Impression whatever, be-
cause (hw heard It. No proper report
of the oration was mado, and Mr.
Lincoln crumpled the manuscript up
and would very likely have thrown it
away if I had not auked him for it.
It was not until it had been printed
in a newspaper and then widely copied
that its wonderful beauty, both ill
thought and literary workmanship,
was recognized, and Sir. Lincoln was
very much surprised to loarn that
scholars were quoting it as the best
model of plire English and true olo-
quence the language had furnished, at
least in America."
There is no doubt, according to Mr.
McPherson, and others who knew
Lincoln well, that he was very greatly
gratified with the evidence that he re-
ceived in the last years of his life that
scholars and cultivated writers were
paying the highest tribute to his
charms as a writer of English, But
he was even more surprised at It. He
knew that cultivated men, even after
his debates with Douglas, and after
his first inaugural, were of the opinion
that he was utterly without other lit-
erary powers than those of good Stump
speakers. Ho was believed to be a
man of strong character, but wholly
without literary polish, and it was
centrally believed that such polish as
nis greatest speeches, such as that de-
livered in Cooper Institute in the win-
ter of 1880 revealed, was the work ot
some cultivated irlends or some skill-
ful secretaries. He had advanced far
in his first term before his literary
abilities began to be admitted by
scholars, but his second inaugural, a
very hastily written composition, and
tke Gettysburg oration Drought the
long-delayed tributes. One of his his-
torians points out that long be-
fore Lincoln had more than a local
repute he liad given proof of great
literary abilities. This historian
quotes Lincoln's speech made while
In Congress in 1848 on the subject of
the Mexican war, says: "With this
speech on record, it is strange that
tne genuine literary abilities of the
man were so long and persistently
ignored by literary people. Thei e
were men who voted for him for tl.e
Presidency more than ten years after-
ward—twelve years of culture and de-
velopment to him—who were sur-
piised to find his- messages gram-
matically constructed, and who sus-
pected the intervention of a secretary
whenever any touch of olegancs rp-
peared in his waitings." Mr. McPher-
son says that there were men of cul-
tivation who seemed dumfounded
when sortie of Mr. Lincoln's speeches
were given to them to read to rWhte
their assertion that he was an illit-
erate boor, and some of these could
not believe that Mr. Lincoln could or
did write thsas speeches.
