While her mother would scrub
All the while at the tub,
Never nlnding the cold or the heat.

And his tiplor may look.

IN discussing measures i'll connec-
ton with the proposed construction
of new capitol, the STATESMAN re-
CARDS them not in the light of affect
ing local affair, but as one in which
every citizen of broad Texas is-in-
terested. 1t would see the erection
of such a building made monument
to the genius as wen as the grandeur
of the Lone Star State, and it lends
itself alone TO such consumnition.
So far this has been its scope of CON-
sideration, and it is a field of duty
in which there is vast latitude. No
charge or Intentional reflection is
presented as to the honesty and in.
tegrity of those representing the state
in this capitol enterprise, The state
has made incompetent provision for
tho superintendent of such work,
and in the case of q supervising
architect the pay attached thereto,
it is affirmed. can not secure
aud maintain competent, conscien-
tious service. We know nothing
positive as to the ability of Mr.. Pres
ton to conduct such work, but we
do know that such pay as is pro-.
vided for the architect can not secure
service such as the state needs. The
Legislature should discover this, and
the law must thus be amended, and
then Mr.. Preston may be recognized
as the proper man to conduct such
work and be, paid accordingly.
These are questions eminenuy pro-
per To be considered by the repre-
sentatives of the people. As TO the
pay of supervisors. whatever it may
be, il is enough. In truth the State
board in charge of public buildings
could just as well supervise as not.
The architect in charge of the work
will report as to execution of con-
tracts, and the board would decide
in all disputes. Such truly is the
work Of supervision. State pride
or outside admiration for Texas.
may supply depressing demand for
an original and competent design
for Texas monumental building,

An OPPORTUNITY


The committee, representing citi-
zens of Gonzales, waited on Mr..
Whitney. at New Orleans. and
learned from him that the extension
of the Cuero railway cannot be
certainly considered at this time.
The company will first finish a rail-
road To Alexandria. Ia. This will
not be done before the middle of
next simmer, and then something
may be concluded as to this extern
sion, which will be either towards
San Antonio or Austin. Even now,
however, Mr.. Whitney says that if
the people of Gonzales andLockhart
and Austin, and those along the line
between these places, will offer in
ducements, by donations or other
wise, sufficient to warrant action,
that the company may thus be in
duced to extend at once. VIII the
people of Austin allow this oppor-
t,rnity TO pass? To act in these
premises would make Austin an i'm
portant railroad center. for the NJ.
X. & r. would thus be compelled to
come here. Major HARDWOOD should
visit Austin and induce our people
to cooperate with those of the
lower counties and towns.

COMMISSIONER RAUM's report
shows that receipts of internal reve-
nue. for the fiscal year 1879 were
$l13.449, 621, an increase of 81, 795,458
upon the previous year. Receipts
for the fiscal year, 1880, in the face
of the reduction of the tax on to-
bacco. were $123,9S1, 916, an increase
of S10.532, 294. Receipts for the first
four months of the present fiscal
year amounted TO 'S43.7S9.31S, show
ing an increase over the correspond
ing period last year of S3.658,213. 1t
is shown that at the present ratio of
increased revenue may reach S125,-
100000. The Commissioner SAYS.
"This large increase of revenue is
unquestionably due 10 prosperous
times. and there would seem to be
no reasonable probability Of ma
terial diminutiOn thereof Tor several
years TO come, but, on the contrary,
probability of gradual increase,
certainly, upon the ratio usual 10 the
increase OF population. Whlle re-
ceipts from taxes are thus inereas-
ing in amount, the demands upon
the treasury are being lessened by
the reduction of the public debt and
the annual interest charged. 1t is
probable. therefore. that Congress
will be disposed to relieve the peo-
pie from some of the internal reve-
mo toypE and If Such rpductiou iS
to be made respectfully suggest the
following list of taxes collected dur
ing the fiscal year, 1880, for consid-
Grafton of the law-makin9 power:
Bank checks, S2,270421; friction
matches, $3,561, 800; patent medi-
cines or preparations, perfumery.

HOW TT Is TO WORK.

The law. passed in obedience to
the constitution, setting aside lands
for the construction of State
Capitol, was followed by the passage
of another law, authorizing the ap-
pointment oftwo commissioners and
an architect to superintend the con-
structiOn of the building. These are
required by law to give bond, and
to take oath that they will not be-
come interested, directly or indi-
Iectly, with any contractor on the
work. These commissioners were
authorized, as they have done, 10
advertise for plans, and then to adj
vertise for bids for construction,
under the plan adopted, the work to
be paid for with the lands set aside.
Should no proposition for lands be
accepted, then the commissioners
are authorized TO let the building
for construction, to be paid for with
money, proceeds of the Capitol lands
as sold. The law provides that the
architect shall be paid an annual sal
ary of $500, and the two commits
sioners $500 each, only while the
work of construction is in progress.
The architect shall constantly SUI
pervise, and he shall report
to the commissioners. once a
month, progress and the man
'ner of fulfilling contracts. and
once month the commissioners
shall inspect the work of contrac-
tors. They shall also act as referees,
and shall approve or condemn
work, according TO its merits At
the regular session the law authoriz-
ed an expense ofonly $500 for plans.
At the extra session the appropria-
ton for this purpose on the recon-
mendadon of the Governor, was in
creased $500. The entire fund,
now at the disposal of the board,
therefore, is $4,000, $500 Of which is
set apart TO pay for a plan, $500 for
advertising, and the remainder Is
held for contingencies.
