Dead and Buried.
1Brenham Banner

Davis and Jones and the Green
hackers have all decided that there
Is neither occasion nor use for a Re-
publican party in Texas this fall, and
as a political organization it has
been abandoned. In Washington
county handful of politicians
seeking to hold county offices, would
make the colored voters believe
that their eternal salvation depends
upou their voting the Republican
ticket, when the party is practically
dead and buried with Davis and
Jones sitting astride OF its tomb

The Tax Burden.
New York SUM-

Seventeen years after the close OF
the rebellion we are still living IN
der a system of taxation devised to
meet the enormous demands of the
civil war waged to preserve the
Union. The commissioner of inter-
nal revenue boasts that he has col.
lected $743,a 31 OIL during the past
six years, and $146,520,273 for the
past fiscal year. He considers these
great achievements, and regards as
excellent the system which levies an
annual tax of nearly three dollars q
head on every man, woman and
child in the United States, black,
white or mixed. This inquisitorial
bureau, which offers a premium
on perjury, and which incites
bad blood and bad faith
among the people, keeps up a
standing army of over four thousand
office holders, maintained at a cost
of more than five millions year, all
of whom turn out on election day,
and are contributors to Jay Hubbell's
campaign fund.
The existing tariff was framed for
the benefit of monopolies. 1t ad-
mits the luxuries of the rich with a
nominal duty, and taxes every ar.
ticle of the poor with crushing dis
elimination. No man dares to deny
its glazing iniquities. The most pro-
nounced protectionists admit the
robbery, perpetrated under cover OF
procured law.
What have the majority done to
correct this fragrant injustice2 They
created a commission ostensibly to
collect information which was al
ready accessible, but really to con-
tinue the odious law by which COM
bination thrives and monopoly is
protected. With every fact within
reach which any commission can
possibly obtain, the Republicans, un,
der cover of a false pretense, refused
to touch the tariff, and put it beyond
the reach of reform during the pres
ent administration. The enriched
monopolists can well afford to make
voluntary contributions" to the
campaign fund for the fall elections.

eport I'm His Pocket.

Gov. Roberts evidently holds to
the opinion that possession consti-
tutes nine points of the law, and that
when he has pigeon-holed q report
in his pocket he is, for that occasion
at least, a majority of the board.
Thus the press is cheated out OF the
report of the capitol experts.

Professor j. w. Draper in the Au-
