THE Be.ton journal has some
very timely remarks about tax
sales. 1t says the vast quanti-
ty of real estate that has hereto
fore escaped taxation in Texas
has been shown by official re-
ports on the subject, and every
one must know that the nom
collection of these taxes makes
the burdens fall heavier upon
the shoulder of those citizens
who pay to run the government
machinery. The idea that the
land is good for the taxes is the
correct one. The purchasers
of land at tax sales should be
protected in their rights; were
no protection gwen them but
few persons would pay any tax
es at all

lrcacheiics and receptions. hidden under
the insinr"rity of this popular mask.
Il issing indeed has become conventional
in these degenerate days. Excepting
alone. the sacred connubial tokens. which
purity and chastity consecrate around the
domestic shrine, and there is nothing left
i'll it, except the ceremonial and formal.
The doctors tell us, that thousands of
children die annually the victims Of infec-
tious kissing. The number OF dentists
that thrive i'll every community. and the
barrels of >oZodont hat are manufacture
ed and sold annually go to show. that the
average mouth is not i'll Il physical condi-
ton for wholesome kissing. Objcctiona-
bic as the practice really may be upon
either hy9ieni'' or moral grounds. We pro
test against the lowest type of kissing
the political campaign kind. Once up
on a time your Western politician. con-
descended to kiss the dirty face of every ur-
chin who had father living. With more
discrimination. but with a similar mo-
tive. Mr.. Tilden has recently revived the
practice. He called upon General Taylor
4 representative Southerner. a day or two
before his death. and in Il melo-,lramatic
style implanted on his forehead SUSPECT
Gus salute. He knew. that the act would
have the widest publicity given it. That
the touching episode would be telegraph
ed over the Solid South. with the hope
the tender incident would touch the heart
strings of the impulSivc SouthernerS. and
the rcsounding chords would echo in ap-
plauSe. Commenting on it. the New
York Express a Democratic paper. well
puts it:
The prediction is not hazardous that
Mr. Iildcn. the most cold and ,lnSenti-
mental of human beings. means to utilize
that kiss by giving it the widest publicity
Its only Sanctity was silence. That gone
the usufruct remains. 1t has become a
campaign kiss. and the old gentleman
will shortly cause the Literary Bureau to
work UP this melo-dranatic incident into
gushing articles for the country editors of
the South. 1t will soon he in the hands
of some smart advertising agencv for
transmission in 4 hundred forms The
scene is doubtless to be illustrated on the
sensational patent-medicine plan, and will
form Il valuable addition to Mr.. I'ilden' $
collection Of pictorial politics.
This is we'll put. The value of the salute
rs campaign kiss lies in the fact that
the deceased was 4 repre- sentative South
erner and an officer in the Confederate
army.
Inspired by the unwhole>ome example
of Mr.. Iilden. what may we not Soon
expect from the other Presidential as
iirantS. If when party spirit ran high in
England the beautiful Duchess of Devon
shire would stoop to kiss publicly in the
streets OF London the burlieSt butcher in
the market for the sake of his vote fe-
males OF uncertain age. with voting
brothers. ncphewS. or uncleS. would dc
