ference upon some controlling article OF
sincere belief, and not by scheming dema-
gogues without principle and indeed in
open antagonism TO such. Still sue
cess is always initiated and it is possible
that the victories of Malone may give
rise to considerable trouble and political
agitation in various sections of the country.
All good citizens have but one thing to do,
and that is to exclude politics as far as pos
sible from consideration in the South. We
have had too much in this line already, and
the two great commonwealth of Tennessee
and Virginia are suffering to-day from the
want ofinternal unanimity of opinion and
devotion tovexatious political rather than
material questions. These two results of
the late elections are likely to yet produce
the most widespread contentious and con-
sequences, and bring about an entire change
in party tactics.

Resolved, That Hon. J. C...Miller, County

to look only to one theory and that isto the
best interests of the State. In my humble
opinion it would be better to reduce the
heavy and onerous occupation tax that is
now levied upon our merchants and business
men. 1t does not look exactly right to
levy such heavy tax upon them just for
fun. lift is not needed TO defray the ex-
penses OF the government, why not redeem
it? 1t does not strike me as being the
proper plan to levy a tax one year and
nothing the next, and if any reduction
should be made at all it should be upon
the occupation taxes. Ii is true reduction
of the ad valorem would reach the interests
of the most people, and, in all probability,
be the most popular measure but
justice and not popularity should be
Another question also presents itself
just here. Texas is now improving more
rapidly than any other State in the Union.
She bids fair, at no far distant day, to be
the banner State of the Uuion. I'm order
for any State to take rank, her citizens must
he on par with the citizens of other
states in Intelligence and education, and,
while the State is making such rapid
strides, the children that are now growing
up in our midst should be kept alongside.
In order to do this, it is necessary to give
them good common school education A
good system of public schools is necessary,
And while it would not be advisable to op.
press the people in order to maintain such
system, yet it is wise 10 reduce taxation
or remit it altogether until we have suili-
cheney to maintain a good system of pub
lie schools for ut least five months in the
year. And in keeping up such system of
schools teachers should not be forced to
work for mere pittance. The remunera-
ton should be such as would command
The best talent Our people should discuss
these questions more before our Legislature
meets, so that body might have some def
mite idea of their sentiments on these uues-
ions. L. II. w.

The much advertised and
loudly boosted of prices of any
St. Louis house, without a
middle man., can all be dupli-
Gated at d. Goslin's China
Hall, on Elm Street, where
you have the advantage of
seeing the different styles be-
fore making selections and save
freight and delay. 1t can be
readily ascertained that in Sill
verware, Chandeliers and other
Lamp Goods, no house in St.
Louis or elsewhere receives a
better discount than does D.
Goslin. China, Tea and Din
ner sets are offered here in a
greater variety than in any re-
tail house West or South, and
importing them direct and in
unbroken packages brings pri-
ces down as low as anywhere.
Look at the Fancy Goods,

for yourselves whether the Chi

We learn from nearly all the more reliable
sources that almost all the financial writers
of the London press talk of the possibility
of a gold famine, and declare that there is
too little gold to 60 around. The recent
Withdrawal of a large sum from the Bank
of England created general alarm all over
Europe, and caused even Germany to raise
its rate of discount, According to the Lon
don Times: "Only the readiness with which
large blocks orinternational securities were
absorbed in London prevented a crisis
which in the delicate state of things in the
French capital might easily have passed
over into panic.N

The Complexion of Jail Birds and Night

In speaking ola prisoner who had Just
been sent back to the cells of the Butler
street police, station in Brooklin, Sergeant
Dyer said, Il don't like lis color in fact
it betrays him" When asked to explain
he said: 1--WE can nearly always tell a
newly discharged convict who has served d
long term in prison by his color, which
comes over his face because he is denied
the sunlight. Many man has been picked
up by that fact, and detectives keep it cor.
stantly in mind. The face gets a pallid
look and q yellowish cast. Al the noted
thieves who have served a long time in
prison get this hue. Some of them arc
sharp enough to try to overcome it by cos
metics, and they are as particular about
liking up the complexion, under the cir.
cumstances, as woman going to ball, for
they know the detectives will spot them 4

THE late Commissioner of Agriculture,

just as much good cannot be accomplished

A MATTER that congress ought to look af.
tel and II possible correct in its next SEES
sion is a tax imposed by the State of New

How that or any other State can tax immi,

mystery to us, and should be dealt with by
the Federal authorities, Many ofour own
citizens send tickets to their friends in
Europe to bring them here, and such tax
is simply money out of their pockets with
