The question Of income taxes has
ALWAYS been one which has been puz-
zler To lawmakers. and one which has
never been entirely satisfactory in its
workings. In Germany they have a
way Of collecting an income tax. for a
basis of which it is not necessary to
accept the statement Of taxpayers. and
must have a wonderful influence in
the cause Of economy in private life.
The officials estimate q mans income
by the manner in which he lives, the
number of servants and horses he
keeps. the style of his house end
apartments. judging of each mans
wealth by what they see instead Of by
the statements Of the man to be taxed.
The system is q novel one. but GER
tainly not without its good points. al
though by it perfect accuracy is unat-
tainable. In the end. however, i'm.
munity ia not granted to those who
are chary enough to evade their just
taxes. for If q man leaves a property
greater than the Government officials
Of his neighborhood supposed be pos
sessed. the heirs are compelled to make
up all Deficiencies.

General Alvarez The Swamp Fox
of Southern Mexico has pronounced
for Lerdo. He heads only six thou,
sand men, but a pronunciamento fairly
stamps soldiers out Of the earth. and.
next to actual war, is one of the most
popular toys south of the Rio Grande.
Apropos to this it is reported that
Lerdo has written a letter requesting
that his name be no longer mentioned
in connection with the Chief Magis-
tracy Of Mexico. which is thoroughly
a Mexican trick to obtain sympathy
that gives color to the rumor Of AL,
verez's success and fair prospects for
the future.

1t appears that Miss Holtham retired

that the poor girl had been depressed

Out of the mouths Of his own mill
tary commanders. Hayes Mexican
policy in condemned. The concur
rent testimony that Gen. Sherman,
Capt. johnson. and Gen. Ord have
Just delivered to the House committee
shows that cattle thieving has been
less troublesome since the accession o:
Diaz than ever before; yet Hayes is
massing troops on the border as If
these raids had become more frequent
instead of fewer. Sherman, Ord, and
johnson says Diaz is the best Presi,
dent that Mexico has had for years.
and is sincerely striving as none Of his
predecessors have done to crush Odt
border raiding; yet Hayes not only
declines to recognize the Diaz Govern
ment, but exposes it to popular con-
tempt by sending our troopers to VIC.
late Mexican territory.
Hayes's policy, therefore, tends to
undermine the Mexican Presiden,
who has been conspicuous fol
good faith and friendliness to the
United States. While Lerdo pro
fesses a purpose to resign all his pre-
tensions Of the Presidency in favor OF
Escobedo, and to retire to France,
Lerdo's friends are rallying both in
the two southermost and two norther'
most States, and Escobedo has body
of armed adherenis in Texas ready to
cross the river. Hayes contributes bis
quota towards Mexico's disturbance:
by choosing this time for his cavalry
raids.
When Ord was asked by the HOUSE
committee the other day. if he did mo-
expect trouble from these raids HI
said he did not, "because he had con
fdence in the honest purpose Of thu
Mexican Administration to prevent {
collision" That is. whether or no

The Mexican troubles on the border
have assumed q more critical aspect,
and as Missourians, especially, take a
lively interest in the Greasers. they
are in hopes to get one more whack at
them for old acquaintance sake. A
Washington dispatch says the Mexican
forces on the Rio Grande now amount
to 5000 men, which is regarded as a
strength far beyond the requirements
for the repression of the marauding ex.
pedltions into the United States. The
American forces are about the same
numerical strength. There is no de,
termination on the part of the
government to change the policy
hitherto pursued in the treatment Of

san Antonio Express
We asked an old Texan yesterday
If he did not think the time would
soon come when the Texans would
refuse to put up with the continual
raids into Texas any longer. He
thought it would. as the Americans
had already stood more insults than
could reasonably be expected, and
he told the following little true
story:
The way these Mexicans behave
reminds me Of something that hap
pened shortly after the Mexican wal
in Santa Fe. It was on q Good
Friday, and the Mexicans had grand
function, or q procession, in which a
Mexican carries big wooden cross,
Just like it tells of in the New Tesla
ment, and the people abuse the poor
Mexicans just ike the Jews and Ro
mans abused our Savior. Well,
there was . drunken American in
the crowd, who took more interest
in the proceedings than anybody,
About every ten steps he would g
up behind that Mexican with the
cross and just hoist him offthe ground
with his boot"
"But didn't the Mexican object
to that kind of treatment" VI
asked.
"Well. l was going to tell you.
Whenever the drunken American
gave the poor devil an unusually hard
kick. he would rub himself a little
and say quietly: "Never mind
Senior Americana, as soon rs / gel
through our Savior, I'll make
It hot for you, -Gringo that you
are"
And sure enough that night he
came around with . MOB with clubs
and that sportive American had t.
get up and get, or they would have
murdered him.
Just now the case is the reverse
II is the Mexican that is doing all the
kicking. and the American Is furnish
