Lmnatic Asylum Frauds.
From the Houston Auel

From the Houston Age.l
We have not, been able to learn
the nature or extent of these frauds,
except that they are in the nature of
forgeries, false store accounts, and that
some late state officials, along with a
merchant or two, are implicated in
them. Green, the late steward, has
been arrested, tried before an examin-
ing court, released on bail and after
wards rearrested at the instigation of
his sureties. 1t seems to us that If the
authorities are working up the case,
are seeming out evidence that they
ought to keep silent, else the guilty par
ties might betake themselves to health
Ter climates.
we haven't the slightest doubt that
some of the late state officials had a
hand in the frauds, and helped to ma.
nmuvre them to consummation, but we
very much fear that they have so
shrewdly covered their tracks that no
one will suffer but Green, the cats paw.

In ordertoi enable the governor to

RECENT evidence about the last allied
war with China shows that ut the taxi
ing of the Summer Palace one building
was full of silks, the produce of tax
which requires every manufacturer to
send in the first piece he makes of each
sort. A part of these was used instead
of ropes, which We're wanting to picket
the French horses. Then there was a
palace full of drawings, series of four
thousand, illustrating the whole his
tory of China. The soldiers, ignorant
of their value, trod them under foot
and used them for kindling fires.
Scarcely two hundred were saved.
Then there was the carriage palace, in
which were found the magnificent
coaches which We're presented to the
emperor of China by the English en-
bassy in 1918. The iron work was loose,
and the leather had become as hard
and brittle as wood. One palace was
full of furs.

1t is the opinion Of nine-tenths of our
people that Mrs. Robinson is the victim
of deep and well-laid scheme of most
diabolical nature, and those who have
conversed with her believe that she is
uow insane, and are, therefore, the more
determined to see that she is hot foully
dealt with.
Mr.. Robinson returned this morning.
He has left his wife at some place in Mich
igan and it is not known where. He says
that the Inter Ocean Is the only newspaper
that has published the scandal, and that
he will prosecute the proprietors for libel.
Henry Martin made statement TO a CON-
mitee of five last night, stating that the
affidavit which was obtained by Duress
about the fifth day of last March was false,
so far as refers to his using violence, but in
addition admits that he did have criminal
connection with Mrs. Robinson at four
different times previous to the 1st day Of
January, 1874, after being solicited by
Mrs. Robinson several times and reftis-
ing, the latter part of which statement
none of the said committee believe.
Martin is reported to be nephew OF Rob-
inson, but the report lacks confirmation.
Martin also further states that lie had
been member of the Robinson family for
a long time previous to the said statement
and that even since the compulsory max.
ing Of the statement Robinson has, up to
the present time, treated him with great
kindacss and consideration.

ty, Ey 100000 on "off years" and by
$500, 600 on Legislative years." and the
restlt was that the Democracy left the
State deep in debt for just those expenses.
to say nothing of debts held valid by the
courts, and other exl enses as indispensa.
Die, as salaries and interest on the bonds
held by the school fund. Thus while the
Democratic local administrations were
putting upon their taxpayers one-fOurth
more burden than the Republicans did,
the Democratic State administration was
running the taxpayers in debt at the rate
of 100000 to $eO0,oOO year for current
expenses, and leaving all legal and honest
debts unpaid, by making the tax rate too
little. 1t is not often that set of men
manage to miss on both sides so com
pletely, to pull too tight at one end of their
policy and too loose at the other, but the
Democracy has done it in their local or
county administrations, and their State
administration. The Republicans have
had the State Democratic debts to pay.
and that is the way they came to raise the
rate of taxation for State purpose. Twen-
ty seven Democratic members of the Leg.
islature agreed with them and voted for
the fifteen cents tax in 1873. And Cover
nor Hendricks agrsed with them, for he
approved the fifteen cents tax bill. He

thought the rate NECESSARY. BY the way.
that eleventh resolution of the Democrat.
lc State Convention, denouncing the in
crease of the State tax, must have sound
ed as sweetly as rItusic in the ears OF the
President. who as Governor had approved
the act thus denounced 1t is much to l,c
regretted that his elaborate opening
speech did not contain some allusiOn To
this tax bill, as it did to the Baxter bill.
Fear of the effect of our exposure of the
merciless way Democrats stuck local tax
es on. made the convention adopt a reso-
luton in favor of a limitation of these
taxes. both In counties and cities, but 1t
stole the policy bodily from tie Bepubli-
Tan platform of the 18th OF June, and from
the JOURNALS articles urging that policy.
The only sensible thing it did about the
whole matter of taxation was what it
stole from the Republicans. Its own ab-
solute PROPERTY in the way of tax policy
is the proclamation that five cents must
be the utmost extent of State tax. That
rate upon S95O,OOO,OOO, as we have re-
peatedly shown, won't pay common year
ly expenses by an average of $5o0,0OO s
year-$4OO,OOO in "off years." $6OO,OOO in
Legislative years"-and the effect will bc
a steady growing State debt which will
run out the whole revenue of five cents
tax for interest alone in ten years. Men
who deliberately propose asystem of con-
stantly increasing State debt are not fit TO
manage State affairs. No business nan
alive, no railroad company, would keep a
set of clerks or managers who allowed ex.
penses te exceed incomes, year after year,
eating up hi S stock as we'll as profits, and
making the way ont Of trouble longer and
harder every day The people will do
pretty much as sensible business men and
corporations would.

Democracy at Both Ends.
S. j. NIcOLEs,

j. W. JACoBY,

The average local taxation in the Dem
Ocralic counties of this State is Sl09 on
800. The average in the Republican
counties is SS cents, or u cents less than
the Democratic rate. The difference
against local Democratic administrations
is twenty five per cent, nearly, of the Re-
dental difference. 1t is steady, ersistent,
and pretty nearly invariable. For the
past ten years, at least, and how much
longer nobody knows. the Democratic
average of county or local taxation has
exceeded the Republican from one-fourth
10 one third. Local taxes, as appears by
the tables published by the State Auditor,
form three-iourths OF all the public bur-
dens the people have To bear. Here is
the statement:
Total county taxation. 1873. IS s5s, ,45e
=. State Z" ...,......-... 3,2lS, 900
Aggregate ...................... -. ST., Ia, ,5l9
tthis aggregate, it will be seen, the
State taxes form but little more than
one e-lourtb, the other three-fourths being
made up of county or local taxes. Now
of these the Democratic counties assess
one-iourth more than the Republican.
The two assess near.y $9,000,000 Con-
scquently the Democratic counties assess
$4,000, 600, the Republican $4,000, ,O00, the
difference, 1000, $50, being one-iourth OF
the Republican assessment. The Demo
cratic local taxes of the State exceed those
OF the Republicans $1,00O000 per year.
This is more than the whole revenue that
would be obtained from State tax of 10
cents on 800 at the present valuation,
and little more than tax of 10 cents
would yield on the old valuation. In 9TH
er words, the Democratic counties of In
diana tax their citizens more than the Re-
publican counties do by enough to pay
the whole State tax at 10 cents on the
present valuation, and more than enough
to pay it at Is cents on the old valuation.
This fact is worth thinking about in an
election which is to trust one or the other
of the parties with the taxes and business
of the State for the next two years. Now,
by the way OF ofsetting this enormous
excess OF Democratic local taxation, the
Democratic Legislature OF 1871 thought
to do big thing for the party by cut
ting down the State tax. 1t would make
a capital campaign cry, "The Democrats
have reduced your State tax from 10 to q
cents to cents. That's the way the De.
mocracy treats the people" 1t is nice
way. in the talking, but it don't look
half SO well in the doing. The cent tax
would not pay common yearly expenses
under the old valuation of taxable proper
