A FEARFUL LEAP.
A Covington Man Jumps from the suspen-
sion Bridge.


sion Bridge.
Mr.. Robert L. Green, Deputy Clerk of
the Circuit Court in Covington, has been
depressed in spirits to such an extent
within the last two weeks that his friends
could not help noticing it. The cause of it
they were unable to discover Yesterday
afternoon about o'clock he handed Mr.
John Dudley "a brother deputy in the Of
tcel note, with a request not to open it
until after he had gone. He then left the
office walked down TO- the Suspension
Bridge, paid his fare, went out to the mid
die of the bridge and Jumped off into the
river below, distance of about ninety-five
feet.
Several persons who saw him make the
terrible leap at once gave the alarm, and a
young man named John Shannon from
Covington, jumped into the water and
swimming out to Green caught him by the
coat collar and held him up until the ar
rival Of skiff, when they were both taken
ashore. DR.. Henderson was summoned to
attend Green, and fears that he is injured
internally. He is now at the Clinton
House, Covington, being attended by his
sisters. The note which he left with Mr..
Dudley was opened, and in it Green stated
what disposition he wished made of certain
little articles belonging to him.

In Lampasas Ira Johnson, col
ored, stole a pocket knife, worth
perhaps six-bits. He was ar
rested and tried in the county
court. His punishment was as
sessed at one days imprison-
nent in the county Jail and
fine of $40. His trial and con,
viction probably cost the coun-
ty SIS. and in addition to this
he may have been confined in
Jail for several months at an ex-
pensc of 20 cents day to hon
est tax payers. The $40 fine
he is probably unable to pay
and it will be necessary to keep
him in Jail another month or
hire him out as county convict
and let him run away, The law

plains that persons go to the

read half a dozen other papers.
There is a great deal of human

the man who complains that
there is nothing in it or that it
is of no account, He proves
his assertions by always hunt

THE shooting and killing of
the sheriff of Palo Pinto county
at Austin on the 23d inst. is
much commented upon by the.
press of the state. Both men
were peace officers and were
away from home on civil bust
ness, yet both men were armed
in defiance of the law they had
sworn to support. This case
alone should be sufficient to
cause the legislature to pass a
most stringent law against the
carrying of deadly weapons. Of
fcers should not be allowed to
carry arms unless on active duty

COUNTY SCRIP.

At present, county scrip is
slow sale at IS TO SO cents on
the dollar, and strange as it may
seem the learned county COM
missioners of the old court
made an order allowing the
county collector to receive but
twenty-five per cent. of the
county ad valorum taxes in
scrip. As there is no money in
the treasury with which to re-
deem it, and it is only receiva-
bic for taxes in limited amounts,
as a matter of course it is at 4
heavy discount ard must incvi-
tably continue to be so until it
is made receivable for taxes, or
there is money in the treasury
to pay it. AS long as scrip is
deprecated the county will be
compelled to pay from IS to 50
per cent. more for all her pur-
chases and contracts in order to
equalize the price. In other
words parties furnishing the
county anything are compelled
to overcharge in order to OBJ
tain the value of the articles
furnished or labor done.
County collector Harvin in
forms the BANNER that, in his
opinion, if scrip was receivable
for all the county tax it could
all be redeemed in less than
year, after which time, if not
issued too freely it would be
worth dollar for dollar. The
county commissioners have not
published a statement of the
county finances since last year,
and until a full statement is
published no one can know eX-
actly what condition the county
is in financially. The statement
should be full and complete,
showing the amount expended
for jurors, keeping prisoners,
lunatics and paupers and the
amount of scrip issued for the
support of paupers out of the
jail together with other items Of
general interest to the tax pay
ers who like to know what be-
comes of their money.

Salaries VS.. Feos.

The bill to abolish fees Of the
Offices Of district and county
clerks, assessors, collectors,
treasures and sheriffs and sub
stitute regular salaries will no
doubt receive the appreciation
ola vast majority of the people.
The office of collector in the
wealthy counties of Texas is in
many cases almost a sinecure.
The fees range from $4,000 to
high as $4,000 or $4,000.
Such pay is enormous and en-
tirely out of keeping with the
present hard times. The fees
of clerks, assessors and treas
urers are in many of the coun-
ties unduly large and out of
proportion to the service
rendered. In this con-
nection itsmay not be amiss
to note the salaries paid United
States officers. First-class post
masters get but $4,000 per year;
these include Offices like those
of New York.. Boston and all
the principle cities in the coun-
try. At this salary there APP
pears to be no difficulty in secu-
ring fast-elass talent. In St.
Louis, Mo-, under the fee system
the fees of the clerk of the Cir
cult court amounted to $4,000
a year; those of the recorder of
deeds to some $4,000 or $751;
900; the legislature of that state
some years ago found that these
officers had two big a thing and
passed a law abolishing the fees
of Office and substituting a slip
ulated salary, all fees over and
above the salary to go to the
state and county. This system
has been found to work well,
and there is no reason why it
should not do equally well in
Texas. The proposed bill al
lows the county courts to fix the
salaries of the Offices, but limits
the amount. Under this regula-
ton there can be no doubt but
what all the officers would be
well paid for their services, but
they could not become bloated
bondholders in very few
years.

In Missouri no license is re-
CURED for getting married. The
consequence has been that all
the runaway couples from llli-
nois go over to Missouri and
get married by justices of the
peace and ministers. A St.
Louis minister who married a
couple when the lady was un-
der age was fined $500 by the
courts and now all the ministers
want a icence law so as to be
relieved of any responsibility.

A FALSE MOTTO.

Retrenchment and re-
form" is the watch word in both
houses OF the legislature. Ev-
cry member, it is said, is anxious
to secure a record of this kind
to parade before his constitu-
ents. Many Of our readers,
says the Marshal Herald, will
regard this favorable omen;
but we do not. Experience has
shown that such legislatures
have invariably proved failures.
1t is said that never before
was there before such scram-
bic for office; there were no less
than nine candidates for chap
lain. Nearly every one of them
had friends who made speeches
in behalf of their favorite. 1t
is estimated that the house spent
$500 of the public money in
the election of a chaplain whose
salary is S. per day.
The legislature has now been
in session two weeks, and moth
ing of any importancehas been
done; there has been no legisla-
ton of any public importance.
Nearly every member has a pet
hobby supplemented by a bill
of some kind. The list of bills
presented, named simply by
their caption, already makes a
formidable showing. It's bare
ly probable that one-tenth of
them will ever become laws. In
the meanwhile public business
is neglected and the time of the
committees is spent in useless
labor. 1t is to be hoped that in
a few days all the members will
have succeeded in introducing
their various schemes, and that
the actual work of the session
will begin in earnest.
Retrenchment and reform is
a very good motto, but there is
such a thing as saving at the
spigot while the bung is leaking.
Simply cutting down a few sal
aries and perhaps impairing the
efficiency of the service render
ed is neither retrenchment nor
reform, but accomplishes just
the opposite of what is perhaps
honestly intended as a move in
the right direction. In some
instances no doubt the salaries
and fees OF officers are extrav-
agant and should be curtailedA
