THE THEATER.
The Taxing District Government at
temDts to Collect Taxes, Not Only
Tr0m the Theater Lessees, but
from All Companies Play
ing Therein.

The Memphis Theater lessees have got into
a wrangle with the Taxing District about the
tax on theater exhibitions. The theater men
say that DR.. Porter claims not only privi
lege-tax on the Theater, but also privilege
tax on every company that appears therein.
Under the old ordinances the theater priv
lege-tax covered all exhibitions presented
therein, and, as ''Dundreary" said, ''any
other construction would be a id nuisance,
you know" Be that as it may. Mr.. Emerson
was arrested on the charge of playing with his
troupe at the Theater, without paying special
license, although the Theater had paid its
license for all exhibitions presented therein.
To enforce tax on every company appear
ing IN Memphis at the Theater in addition
to the regular hcense-tax paid by the Theater
lesSees, would break up all dramatic enter
talnments. Such construction of the law is
nonsense, and none but luuatics would so
construe it The Taxing, District govern
ment has certainlynot gone daft on the thea
ter question, If so, an inquest de lWnatico
inguendO is the next thing to call for.
After having given up the Sunday law ordi-
nance to the saloon keepers, and abandoned
all attempts to enforce the law, it comes in
bad grace to make war on dramatic enter
tainments at the Theater which are attended
by the church people and others nightly. "a
little nonsense now and then is relished by
the wisest men, but too much OF it disgusts
even the best friends of the new Taxing
District government.

THE gECElVERsHTP.
The Case Again Gone to Judge Baxter
for an Opinion on N supplemental
Bill to Bring stare-RoceIVer
MerLwether Before Court
and secure an In
junction.

In the case of the two receivers for Mem
phis-Minor Meri wether, State receiver, and
7. J. Latham, United States court receiver
some days since, notice was served upon
Stste-Receiver Meriwether that an applica-
ton would be made to Judge Baxter, OF the
United States circuit court, for leave to file an
amended and supplemental bill bringing
Meriwether and Wilson before the court, and
certain parties who are indebted to the city
for back taxes, as additional defendants. The
object of the bill is: First, to enjoin the fur
Their prosecution of the agreed case between
Meriwether and Wilson, which was recently
disposed Of In the chancery court, and has
been taken by appeal to the supreme court of
the State. Secondly, to epjoin any other suit
or proceeding by Meriwether for the purpose
of collecting taxes due the city of Memphis.
And, thirdly, to test the question whether
the circuit court of the United States will
