TH I CONSTITUTIONAL AWCNOMatNTi.
It Is almost certain that the three constitu-
tional amendments were ratified by the people
of Texas and it now remains for the Incoming
legislature to enact laws to put them In force.
Tbe Poet congratulate th Texan electorate
upon their sound Judgment la the premises for
there can be no doubt that mech good will re-
sult from them. Tbe Confederate pension amend-
meat'ia s tribute to the generosity of th people
who gratefully remember the sacrifices the old
reterana made for a cause the memory of which
is dear to erery Southern heart. The tacreased
expenditure will aot entail a single hardship
upon the nearly 000.000 people of Texas aa the
outlay altogether will aot exceed 11 to II cents
per capita per aaanm.
But in adopting the State bank amendment
and the amendment relating to public lmproTe-
menta a progressive step was taksa. While the
Federal statute ot March 14 lhOO authorising
the chartering ot National beaks with capital
under tSO.000 hss done much good la the Bonth
it did aot meet all the deatanda. State beaks
win supply every deficiency and gin broader
scope to our hanking capital la developing the
lndastrial and eemmercial rwaoureea ot the State.
Not a few people opposed the bank amendment
la the belief that It sought to opea the way to
the oraani ratios of State banks at Issue. Of
course there is no such danger. Then an hun-
dreds of State hanks in the Northern States and
the comptroller ot the currency estimates that
then are deposited ta State basks nearly a third
of the monetary wealth ot the nation.
Wbea toe legislature hag given effect to the
sjaendnaent then win be many State banks
chartered and under restrictions which will
make them aa safe as National bank. The
hsasflt of this asncadanent will be so apparent
ta leas thaa ten yean that people will wonder
that the State had aot taksa this step before.
Aad faQy aa Important is the amendment re-
lating to certain pubUe Improvements. Under
1U terms tbe plasters of the great Brasos valley
may cooperate to prevent the disastrous over
flows which ban entailed so much loss of re-
cent years and they caa do so without saddltng
any of the exponas upon anybody els. Tbe
ewaen of the vast reaches of arid lead ta
West era Texas aad of the fertile rice leads ot
the coastal plain will be enabled at their own
i puns to develop their properties Into the most
prod active rvgioas of the earth. In other words.
this amendment simply gives progressive people
the right to help themselves st their own ex
pense without imposing burdens upon ethers.
This la admittedly a right which people should
enjoy aad it will result la vastly mcreasing the
prodnctivsness aad wealth ot the State.
So In spite of the disappointment ot Tues-
day electiOB we ot Texas have much to en-
gage our attention. We have the greatest State
la the Union and we ran proceed with the work
at making It greater and better. We bare many
gaestlons ot Importance pressing for settlement
We can therefore proceed with oar domestic
affairs wish bnn hearts and willing hands. Tbe
tatare Is full of hope for all who livs la Texas.

But The Post Intend to ma no risk ot be

to accept th remarkable statement of the
Washington correspondent ot the New Tork
rress. The Peat's Waahingtoa special ladl-
cates that the president will la good time visit
the South presumably Georgia the old home
ot his mother and make a speech outlining his
attitude toward the South. Perhaps he may
even visit Texas and he may be assured of a
hearty and respectful welcome whenever be
may choose to come. Tnererore It l wii
enough to past by some of the utterances of a
wildly partisan republican press and hear from
the prealdent' own lips what he Intend to do
with us.
And until he speaks we can afford to give
him credit for better Judgment and sounder
statesmanship than the New Tork Pre outline.

SOUTHERN
RIPRE-
CONORESSIONAL
SENTATION.
It will be mere thaa a year before the Roose-
velt administration will take up the question
of the representation of the Southera 8tstes In
ths electoral college aad house of representa-
tive. The congress elected last Tuesday will
deal with the matter probably along lines to be
laid down by the president In hi first annua
message to the fifty-ninth coagress. The New
York Press however which claims to be s
spokesman of the president contains some in-
lr eating information on the subject from its
Waahlngton correspondent
Por hastaaca. It Is said that the president'
advisers an aot united ea the question as to
whether the aegro shall vote In the South but
are united oa the proposition that if the negro
doe aot vote be shall aot be counted in the
census that make np the representation in
cotigreas.
Another natarkable proposition Is that
Southern statutes an aot to be considered at
alL That Is to say when these statutea dis-
criminate between a literate negro and ths Il-
literate negro the republican policy will be that
the vote of the aegro mast he counted la whole
or representation In eengnss shall he based
upon the white population exclusive ty. In other
words where Southern statutes already dis
franchise SO per cent of the negroes of voting
age. republican legislation will disfranchise the
other 50 per cent
This proposition. It It become the policy of
the sdmlnl st ration will be another step beyond
the limits of tbe constitution. The second sec-
tion of srtlcle XIV eoatalaa this languag:
"But when the right to vote at aay election
... Is denied to any of the male members of
such State being twenty-one yean of age and
citlsena of the United State or in hay way
abridged except for parUdpattoa to rebeUloa

therein shall be redMseala tbe pronortion which
the number of such male eltlsene shall bear to

fifteenth amendment does not repeal the sec-
ond section of the fourteenth amendment. It will

The Worst Beaten Nomln.
(From the New York Sun.)
Horace Greeley is often referred to ss the worst
beaten candidate for president ever nominated by
either of the great parties. In the November election
of liy Mr. Greeley was defeated the popular ma-
jority against him being 747000.
The majority though considerable did not record'
the full measure of the disaster of the Greeley can-
vass for about three weeks later on November ag
Mr. Greeley died and when the electors in the States
which be carried met in January only three of them
three from Georgia voted for Mr. Greeley and
the votes of these three were objected to on the
official canvass on th ground that Mr. Greeley hav-
ing died was not an eligible candidate to vote for
his death being "a historic fact."
The house of representatives refused to receive
theae three votes; the senate agreed to. As a con-
sequence therefore Mr. Greeley did not actually re-
ceive a single electors! vote but the Greeley electoral
ticket polled eighty electoral and a8oo.ooo popular
votes.
A worse Uiten candidate for the presidency than
Horace Greeley everything considered wss General
Scott the nomine of the whig party in 1851. His
military achievements it was thought would assure
him a large popular vote but he actually received
nhr forty-two electoral votes out of a total of aoe
and most of these came to him by slender majorities.

THE DEPARTURE! ef Mr. and Mrs.
Ed A. Randolph nee Miss Sweeney th
othr night on their honeymoon trip wa
th occasion of some Innocent and
mirth-provoking pranks on the pert of a
number of their friends. Th groom ha
several brother and tbe conception of
this mirthful atUck upon ths dignity of
th newly married young couple savors
of th lullan hand ot tb oldest 01 uiese.
Bud Randolph who ha a reputation aa
a practical and successful joker.
He may or may not have been ths au-
thor of a well devised scheme to let tho
passengers on tb Bt Louis sleeper and
others on the train know that there was
a young and loving couple aboard wno
had Just ocrnmltted matrimony but
whether he waa or not. this la quite sure
that the Mlsa was very successfully put
Into execution very much to th dis-
comfiture of th young coupes.
Tb l.rst thing in the Una of ths plot
waa to have tbe baggage ot the bride and
groom appropriately marked. As It lay
at th depot ready to be cheeked a skill-
ful sign painter waa called Into requisi-
tion and in the beat atyle of ths paint-
ers' art this bold inscription placed
upon the trunk:
Mr. and Mr. Newly Wed;
Bhe's got him and gone;
Now will you be good."
Then the trade mark of Cupid ths ar-
row and heart was placed conspicuously
above It all.
This was for the delectation and the
enlightenment of the bug gags men along
the route to St. Louis hut another
method was adopted to Inform the fellow
passenger on th sleeper. Neat cards
had been printed and just before th
young couple boarded the train several
young men passed through the sleeper
distributing these card. The passenger
Sll wore smiles a well aa the regulation
res when the newly married couple
entered tbe sleeper. One card bore this
Inscription: "Me and My Girl. We are
from Texas." Another read as follows:
"Ain't We Sweet Wlf and I; St. Louis
Sleeper." Btlll another announced: "Mr.
and Mrs. Newly Wed; At Home Houston

He said: "I am'ttot ths ex-SUU treas-

because I voluaUiily retired at the ex-
piration of my but term and was not a
candidate for re-election. If I had been
a candidate for re-election and had been
defeated then I would have been an ex-
State treeaurer."
1 eoalees that at first I thought Hon.

to look Into ths question cursorily and
I cam to the conclusion that Hon. Bill
