.rAxATION INEVITABLE"


Suchis the heading of an article IN
the Waco Examiner, in reply to. a squlb
in the Richmond Nation, to the effect
that the "Nation" would demand a
pledge from every candidate against
the levy of any state tax.
The Examiner goes over the state
ment that this is out of the question as
the counties must levy a tax, ana the
law authorizing such tax requires that 1t
shall be not more than one-halt the
state tax.
Of course, this is the fact, and peo-
pie are bound like slaves to the
democratic state constitution, which is
dragging them along the rough road to
ruin-a road moistined by the sweat
drops of labor. The state government
has forced thousands of homesteads
under the hammer to satisfy the mons
ter of taxation.
Taxation under democratic rule is
as memorable as fate; as certain as
death; as relentless as tyranny can
make it.
The lack of craftsmanship in the
democratic party, that quality OF legls-
lation that can look into the future and
Judge of the effect of laws under varied
emergencies, has driven our state to the
verge of desperation.
We call the lacking quality in the
democratic party "mossbackiSm,' or
"bourbo0ism," it is palmer understood
when we call it "ignorance'-demo-
cratic ignorance. The men who are
running the state, and the democratic
party, are conceited, ignorant, preJu-
diced set, who have ridden on the
crest of power because they possessed
the ability to show their hatred to all
that is wise, patriotic or good.
We want the constitution, as 1t now
exists, overturned, and with it It's au-
thors.

soon as he can get his breath.
THE Victoria Advocate reports the
sale of five thousand head, (yearlings
and two year olds) of cattle, intended
for Kansas mnrket, at $40. 50 for year

IT IS really too bad for a beautiful
city like Austin to be sCourged at the
same time with the smallpox and the

Not quite so bad as that-instead
of the Legislature, it has the "Sifkings.'
THE BRENNAN Banner urges the
democrats to stay in the party and
fight for reform. Very good advice,
but the reforming of the democratic
party is a bigger job than reforming
the public abuses.

NAT. O. HENDERSON has felt it nee
essary to make an explanation. He
saws he is a democrat, but he is not
one of the undying hate sort. We
would never have explained-when

CAPTAIN EADs is confident of build
ing his ship railway across the Isthmus
of Panama, and is waiting only for the
bill for that purpose, now before con-
gress, to be enacted. But we fear the
captain is infantile in politics and not
aware of the manners and customs
prevailing in the congressional lobbies
nor how many statesmen we have who
regard it first duty in relation to any
measure to have themselves bribed.
If the captain or his friends will grease

great ship railway.
THE democrats of Iowa are heaping
honor with lavish hand upon Judge
Rhine. That benevolent statesman
had hardly had time to gather up his
remains and get himself suitably regu-
lated for the ordinary duties of life af-
ter the unilateral fight for governor,
when the democratic members of the
Iowa legislature called upon Rhine to
carry their little bag of grist to the
mill that was to grind out a U. S. sem
ator. In that brief excursion they sup
ported him to the large extent of y
votes. The modesty of Judge Rhine
has been exemplary on this occasion.
and he now retires with the purpose of
pasturing his own cattle till he is re-
quired to be broken again upon the
political wheel. His enemies say that
The judge just likes it. ....

ABOUT BEER.

An incredible piece of legislation
has been dragged from its secluslon In
an old volume of Massachusetts, laws,
and is being aired in some of the pa
pers given to loose and lrreverent ways.
Well, the law is very brief and shock
ing. 1t must be rather startling to
tle energetic prohlbltionlst of the good
old Puritan state, in this age OF abstl-
nence and moral reform, to find that
the fathers, of the revolutionary era,
considering that "the manufacture of
strong beer, ale and other malt liquors
will promote the purposes of husband
ny and commerce" passed in the Mas
sachusetts legislature, in I770, the fol
lowing exemption act:
'Be it enacted, ETC.: That all brew
houses that produce hundred barrels
of beer annually shall be exempt from
taxation or duties five years.
Can it be possible that it is only dis
lance lends enchantment to the view,
and that instead of sons Of the degcn-
crate sires, as we thought ourselves, we
are hereafter to look upon our sires as
degenerate and given to practices which
only the veteran and hardened beerist
can approve, and that bring blush to
the bland cheek of the sedate prohibit
ZIONIST, wherever he resides ?
Mr.. Benjamin's opinion that there is
not penny of assets of the dcfunct
confedcracy anywhere in Europe is
probably correct. He has certainly
had opportunities of knowing whereof
he writes, and whatever may be his
reputation as a politician, his character
in other respects is unimpeachable.-

Money success Is the received test
of artistic success. In case of failure
of music or dramatic performance to
paw, the world would set it down

liative assertion that artistically it was
success.-[ Cincinnati Daily Gazette.

The Cost Of the Trial.

From the Washington Post.
1t cannot definitely be learned what
Judge Porter and Mr.. Davidge are to
receive for their services as special
prosecuting officers, but from the hints
thrown out it is believed that their fee
will not be exaggerated when placed at
SI,, 900 for each of them. Including
Saturday next in the days of the trial,
it will bring the pay of the jurors as to-
lows: For five, 5000; for four, S4SS;
for three, 5000; total, I,4oS. In addi-
ton to this comes the hotel board bill,
which is presumed will not exceed
$3.50 per day per man. With this
must also be included the three ballffs
in attendance upon the jurors. This
foots up the handsome sum of S3,213
to be paid to the proprietors of the Ma
tional hotel.
For witnesses, including mileage,
there have been paid out $S,o7S.35
Of this sum, $5,IS9.85 was paid in be-
half of the government, and S2,SS9
for the defendant, and of the latter
$3So.25 went to the Guiteau family and
their connections. For reporting and
printing the trial and papers used IN
the case preparatory to the hearing, 1t
is estimated that S., 900 will berequlred.
For seven deputy marshals used in the
halls and the chamber, 81 800 will be
necessary. Then there are the mlsCcl-
laneous expenses, such as the physl-
clans charges, medicines, chairs for the
court room, and incidentals too numer-
GUS to mention, but which will take
about 81 900 to cover-making grand
total of $5o, o6I.S5.
The trouble with Georgia independ-
ents is that they are not independent
anough. They are ready to flee from
the evils of bourbonism, but not to
rush upon others they know not of in
the bosom of what they call radical
ISM" Their independence is still too
young and tendcr to be very daring.
They have chosen their captain, their
ship is ready to sail, but they are too
timid to weigh anchor and venture
their craft upon the actual ocean,

Packing Eggs.

Any material used for packing
must be perfectly sweet and dry. If
at all musty or damp it will imparta
bad flavor to the eggs. Chaff should
never be used; clean oats or fine cut
hay are probably the best materials.
Place two or three inches of the mat
erial at the bottom of the package,
then layer of eggs with the end
toward the side of the package, but
not touching the side by an inch or
more; then put on several inches of
packing, pressing down gently with
q follower-remove all but an inch in
depth Of the packing and put in
another layer of eggs in the same way
as the first; taking care that packing
is pressed between the ends of the
eggs and the side Of the pack, and
so continue until the last layer is in,
which should be covered with at least
two inches of packing and an inch
of hay, and the cover Of the packing
pressed down closely. Eggs packed
in this way can be transported long
distances without injury.

CeoIogicaI Survey orthe state.


The adoption Of Mr.. Moffett's feso-
luton providing for a COMMITTEES on
n Geological Survey indicates that
the Legislature has at last realized
that there is something in the report
that West Virginia has mineral
development in the future. 1t is
now beloved that West Virginia con-
tains more coal and iron than Penn.
sylyanin does, but until recently
West Virginia people seem to have
been perfectly oblivious to the fact.
The building Of Senator Davis
new railroad into the wilderness Of
the North Branch country has given
q glimpse into that wonderful mine
Of hidden wealth hidden away
among the recesses Of the unbroken
wilderness which covers so large an
area Of the State. The difficulty
heretofore in attracting capital from
abroad has been that our own home
capitalists have been timid in TAX
ing hold Of enterprise looking to a
development of our State, and the
additional fact that when we talked
about our immense natural resources
we could give no new authority for
our statements because no expert
ever had examineda and reported upon
them.
Now, it looks as if the tide was
turning. Both our Senators in Con-
gress = both gentlemen of large
wealth-have embarked their in
diyidual fortunes in important rail
road enterprises through the State,
and thus lend encouragement to for
eign capital to join with them.
A beginning has been made to
remedy the second trouble by the
adoption of Mr.. Moffett's resolution
looking TO geological survey Of the
State. 1t is true that this is an OPP
perfume time in one respect. A
geological survey will cost some
thing; how much we cannot say, the
legislative committee will probably
determine that fact; but the State is
in debt, and it is a hard time to get
appropriations. However, it wasin
Dictated by gentlemen favoring the
resolution that they didn't expect to
ask for a heavy appropriation this
year. The purpose Of the committee
being more particularly to ascertain
the probable cost and to devise some
plan by which the work could b.
done most economically. There is
one matter Of the utmost importance
which cannot be overlooked in order
to crown the work with success, and
that is to have it under the supervi.
sion of a thoroughly competent man.
We hope at all events that the
work of the committee will be done
satisfactorily, as we believe it will
and that good results will follow
