A Small Sensations.

Washington, 81. - Some excitement
has been created, especially in senatorial
circles, by publication in the Post of to-
day Of articles in relation to personal
differences between Senators Sherman
and Hampton. The Post articles alle0e
that an employe Of the treasury nsmed
Kirk was the author of letter published
IN Charleston paper, over q year ago,
making grave accusations against SEN
ater Hampton; that when Hampton came
here at the meeting Of Congress he began
an investigation Of this publication. and
found that Kirk had written q letter by
direction OF Secretary Sherman, and said
he had letter from Sherman virtually
directing him TO make the stack on
Hampton. A western Associated Press
reporter, this afternoon. asked Secretary
Sherman ifhe had anything to say about
the matter. He replied be had not, ex-
cept to express contempt for it. He said
he did not believe Senator Hampton WAS
responsible for the publication in the
Post. II be was he had put himself In a
very ridiculous attitude. The Post ar
ticls said Kirk bad refused to give copy
OF the letter he claimed to have from
Sherman. Senator Sherman said this
morning, that If anybody wanted copies
Of any letter he had written, they wers
welcome to them, and could geG copies
without any difficulty. Senator Hampton
said be had not talked about the mstter
and did not know how it got into print.

OCCUPATION TANES.

The EXAMlNEH is glad to note, as
the legislative session d.aws near the
disposition OF the state rrcs- to ven
turc upon dispns-ionate con.idcra-
tion OF the occupation tax system, as
it exists in Texas. We hope to see it
discussed more thoroughly yet, As
matter OF political economy, of
equity In taxation, the occupation
tax ought not To have any place in
our governmental sy4tcm II is not
democratic nor is it republican IN
p @. The comptroller has
shown, months ago, that the state can
meet all the legitimate cX-
penses Of government without
lcyying a dollar ut uccu-
patron tax. We do not suggcst AN
ont and out ahulishmcut Of HE system,
There are uvocntions nnd undcrtuk-
ings that would fail to make Any
commensurate return for the privi.
lcgcs aud opportunities they enjoy
in TcNas unless they were reached by
the license system II ia entirely
practicable TO draw u line of Just dis
crimiuatiun. But, ns u matter OF
equity and domestic economy, why
should merchant, or Il lawyer or a
doct r, doing business permanently
IN Texas, paying m adyalorcm tax
ON all the rcm and personal property
hcposscsscs, he taxed for the privilege
OF conducting sucn busncss, while
other nvocations, not an iota more re-
spectacle and useful, go scot tree?
The system, in general, is clearly cr-
roncous, aud in several states of the
/ union it has been abolished. While
we do not venture, as yet, to hope for
such II radical measure ~ that, the
| time is at hand tor material rcvirions
and reductions. The Legislature
| might take valuable hint from the
spirit manifested in congress with
reference to customs and excise
duties. We have not half the excuse
for our heavy occupation duties that
the national government has for
keeping up its internal revenue sys-
TEN and tariff.
