AFTER PATIENT WAITING.

Yesterday the House passed tie joint
resolution proposing an amendment to
the Constitution, restricting the right
OF suffrage to those predicting their
poll tax receipt for the previous years
taxes at the polls. Tnis resolution
will be adopted by the Senate, and at
last, after yesrs OF waiting, the people
of Texas will have the right to say
whether those who do not sssist in
supporting the State government shall
have a voice in its conduct. o her
States, where this healthy provision in
organic Law has been tried, attest rs
wonderful effect IN producing good
government. Had the s x.eenth Lsgis-
lature no other act than this to place
it faVorably before the people, this one
alone might be accepted as sufficient
compensation Tor every expense it en-
tails. The people OF Texas will accept
it as tribute to justice long deferred,
and st the next genera! election they
will make the resolution lasting fun
damental principle in their govern
ment. l. VIII meet with the hearty
approval OF all good people, without
regard to race, color or previous con-
dItion, and it will be supported at the
polls, as in the House, by colored peO-
pie as well as whites. Tae honest,
Woodworking colored voters of Texas.
who support the State's machinery, as
all good citizens should, will vote al
most to 4 man for the mea,ure, as did
Representative May on yesterday. For
many years the STATESMAN has lsbored
in this behalf, condemned by deme-
gogues and political tricksters, and it
now lives 10 see the Legislature per-
form duty paramount TO every othoi
question before it.

JUSTICE STR ,NG's opinion, delivered
in the celebrated Scuth Carolina Case,
Murray v. The City OF Charleston, G
Otto Reports, contained the following ::
What, then, is meant by the DOC
triDe that contracts IRE made vi, II
reference to the taxing power resi-
dent in the State and IN suborii
ton 10 iil Is it meant that when d
person lends money To q S ate, or to q
municipal! division of the State having
the power of taxation, there Is in the
contract tacit reservation OF right
in the debtor to raise contributions cut
of the money promised to be paid be-
fore payment That can not be, be-
Cause if it could the contract, In the
language of Alexander Hamilton,
would involve two contradictory
things, an obligation to do, and Il
right not to do, an obligation to pay a
certain sum and a right TO retain it in
the shape OIL tex. 1t is against the
rules, bo'h OF law and OF reason, TO
ADMIT by implication in the construc-
ton of Il contract, principle which
goes in destruction of it. The truth is,
States and cities, when they borrow
money and contract to repay it with
interest, are not acting as sovereign
ties. They come down 10 the level
of ordinary individuals" TINS
opinion without a doubt settles the
mooted question as to the power Of the
State to tax bonds in the hands of in-
divIduals.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1879-03-13

IT Is an accepted maxim with Texas
that "there should be no taxation with
out representation" Even clear-head-
ed women, when taxed to maintain
city schools, have asserted this simple
principle, that if they must pay they
should also govern. Nothing Is more
just, and none have dissppr0ved or
condemned this maxim of our fathers.
but if no man should be taxed who is
not suffered 10 vote, should men vote
who pay not farthing2 Governments
protect life and civil and personal
rights, and by different code do they
protect property, and yet the citizen,
who tolls and saves and has property,
alone pays the tax upon the person.
He pays not only his own, but the poll
tax of the tramp and vagrant. The
sum of taxation imposed upon each
poll is increased as defaulting polls are
multiplied. Taxpayers thus pay for
themselves and for non-taxpayers, and
yet the State and It's laws and their
expensive operation and enforcement
are used more to punish and protect
Migrants than industrious farmers or
mechanics. The whole practice of
Texas is wrong, while its theory, that
taxation and representation should be
concurrent, Is faultless, and the reverse
of the proposition is as true as when
in its original shape.

To Subscribers

By postal card, other means being
too expensive, subscribers TO the
STATESMAN will be rendered accounts,
showing amounts due, or soon to be-
come due, on subscription. 1t is a
time Of the year when all may settle
accounts, and subscribers are request
ed, in receipt of statements, to remit
at once. By the first of January it is
proposed to have all outstanding mat
ters closed, and prompt reply will
save further trouble in collecting bills.
Our friends, regarding this as bust
ness, will not fail to respond.

No INTELLIGENT, property educated
gentlemen, to say nothing of Chris
tisns, can approve killing for mere
words. No verbal insult justifes, in
the laws eyes, any assault, and yet
half OF the men and boys of Texas
towns 60 about armed for ready muir
der, and word lie followed by blow
ani the knife or pistol do the rest.
Half-grown boys about the streets have
pistols about their persons, and even
school children are apt to produce
them on special occasions. From early
youth they are accustomed by the use
of implements of murder to contem.
plate the preparation of bloodiest,
most dastaIdly crimes, and society as it
exists is school for murder, and muir
der becomes fac art. Ballies, cow
ards and assassins of course go armed,
and against these the law makes
threats in vsio, but the law fcrgets to
p-eveht the sale of pistols and knives
OF murderous intent to minors. The
pistol mania is all-pervading. It desc
crates churches aud schools and dreams
Of bloodshed at our fresides. He Is
blind who saunters Idly into Texas
court room, even where a murierer's
trial progresses, and does not see that
two-thirds of the lazy, listless, loung-
ing loafers and swift witnesses are MI
gratory arsenals. 1t were wiser to re-
peal the anti-duelliug code than pro-
tract systems of street and bar-room
fighting now in vogue. Every impulse
of Christian virtue aud of humanity
protests against the honorable" mode
of committing murder, but this street
fighting and corner-grocery mode of
"getting the drop" when victims are
half drunken, and then proving ''self-
defense" or an alb, are intolerable and
. suggestive of reforms in existing laws.
Rather than perpe,uate popular habits
of to-day we sh0zlj re-enact the duel
ling code of by.gone age. 1t were
infinitely to be preferred to present
modes of adjusting matters of ''honah."
Chivalrous strut and buster are to be
applauded rather than the sneak thief,
pocket on the hip. When the ''code"
was observed there was cooling time,
and friends interposed and many diff
fefehces, otherwise fatal, were adjust
ed. There was at least fairness OBJ
served by those having deliberate
murder in their hearts. There was
courtesy, too, and this brutality in
which even the young are educated
was unknown. We are training the
country in modes of assassination that
cursed the dark ages, and inventive
genius is absolutely stimulated as never
before In perfecting the deadliest
weapon that can be most perfectly con-
csaled. Tits bsser than Borgia's sys-
TEN OF poisoning, and yet the Legisls-
TUE cannot set up the whipping post
to drive villains ana men bearing these
infallible evidences of criminality from
the land. The use OF murderous as
sassinS tools should alike be prohibit
ed by the lssh.

A CONSIGNMENT expire s5es surprise
that Governor Roberts, understanding
as he certainly does the theory of edu-
cation, should have given his sanction
to 40 awful wss,e of money upon this
miserable system ofpublic free schools
Experienced educators sgree that the
course of so-called free school educa-
ton il Texas not only cripples
legitimate and proper instruction,
but that it opens the way to
public wrong in the interest of worth
less adventurers, who draw the school
money and then abandon commIni-
ties to hunt other soft places. The
system is rapidly destroying legit-
innate instruction, and placing the
children of the State under tutelage
winch will shortly produce the great
est evils IN society. 1t is upon
such s system that the State has
just tquandered 5000, 600, and upon
which, II continued, million of tax
money annually hereafter must be
throwa away. Il is the maintenance
Of these schools, and OF war depart
ment in time of peace, that has added
70 obligations already assumed by the
people Of Texas million snds quarter
Of dollars annually. Itls thus vast sums
Of money are thrown away, while
appropriations for salaries of officers
and Tor the legitimate expenses of q
State govsrnment and for pensions to
old soldiers have not given to Texas
the woes Of = bonded indebted
ness. Il IL all this, with conse-
euene present deficiency of $780,
