More Taxes Are Necessary
Galveston Print.1


Texas can make better financial
showing than any other state in the
Union. She has $3,051,74 in the
treasury that she has no earthly use
for, except to heap up, and her an
nual revenues SO far exceed her an
nual expenditures that the sum in
the treasury must he constantly
swelling. T9XaS is very much in the
same position us the fortunate indi-
vidual who had plenty of money and
no poor friends. There is no demand
upon her for the surplus fund be-
cause the state is so well supplied
with university and public school
buildings The insane asyIums and
other public institutions are so amply
provided for that there is no apparent
opportunity for getting rid of any of
surplus cash balance in that direc-
ton, and probably we shall be obliged
to see the cash balance continue to
swell, with no satisfactory means of
tapping it.

THE United States appraiser of tea
at New York city has recently
rejected 300 packages of tea
brought to that city from China in
the ship Flintshire. Some of these
teas were mixed-with sand and gravel
others were composed of exhausted
leaves, and others consisted of dust
and paste rolled into pellets. The APP
praiser rejected 542 packages of Japan
tea, which was mixed with dust and
some mineral substances. The re-
jected packages would have brought
nearly $4,000 in the market.

ANY ONE who reads the evidence
in the preliminary trial of Burke
will conclude that he was the thief
who stole the honor of Hattie Bay
less, and caused her suicide. A girl
who had her nerve deserved better
fate than to become the victim OF a
woman destroyer. The law of ven
geance ought to, if it does not, de-
stroy this cold-hlooded assassin of
honor and of life. Parents should
learn an everlasting lesson from the
fate Of Hattie Bayless.

The Old Ticket.

L
Tilden and Hendricks are as dead,
politically, as any of the mummies
entombed in the pyramids three
thousand years ago, and all the gal
vanic batteries in the world are pow
erless to impart to them more than a
weak, spasmodic, convulsiye move
ment. The vital spark has fled, and
can never more illume these pallid
cadavers. Being dead, these gentle
men should be reverently and quietly
inurned. 1t is neither proper nor
seemly for dead men to be masquerad-
ing before the public as candidates
for office, and as Mr.. Watterson ap-
pears to be a 'sfriend of the family"
we beg leave to suggest that a decent.

Hon. Joseph E. Mcdonald as chief

ShonIa Parties Fail.
iFrom the Philadelphia Record.


Tariff reform has made so much
progress that there is a widespread
opinion in the country that the act
which has just gone into complete
operation was not a solution of the
question, but feeble attempt to
postpone it. and that the question
presses for solution as urgently now
as If that act had never been passed.
There is now, as before, much differ
ence of opinion in regard to methods.
A great MANY intelligent protection
lists, such as some of the witnesses be-
fore the tariff commission. fear, with
reason, that sudden-feturn to affeeu
trade tariff like that of 1857 would
spread desolation among industries
that have been developed by protec-
ton. Their alarm has been increased
by the declarations of few advocates
of revenue reform, who, in their i'm
patience of the abuses of the present
ystem. would sweep it away with as
little delay as possible. The support
ers of practical revenue reform can
not keep too constantly in view
the fact that they do not
seek sudden, haSty and vindictive
change of the tariff. but gradual re-
turn to the policy which prevailed be-
fore the civil war led to the introduce
ton of the present system. This can
be better done by the next house in a
tariff bill embodyng the real purpose
Of the friends of tariff revision than
in the more or less deXt erous or sin
cere resolutions of state or national
conventions. j the house pass such
IL bill it is not Improbable that it will
be adopted by tho senate and APP
proved by the president. In this case
there will be no agitation of the tariff
in the next or some succeeding cleo
ton for president. Should the senate,
on the other hand. reject a proper
house bill the measure itself will form
a practical issue in the presidential
in 1884 and there is no reason
TO fear the Judgment Of the people
upon it. Should both parties fail in
the next congress the friends of tariff
revision will have to find oth"r polit-
ical agencies for the execution of
their demands Sensible projections
lists cannot believe that their system
can last forever when its iblest adv6-
Gates have claimed that il WIS but y

ment of .:inf;ihty Industries It is the

The Fraud of a Bob.
[PhiIadelphia TImes

While the renowned Col. Ochiltree
is in Europe a fellow Texan has
come up to Washington with the
avowed purpose of stealing away the
laurels he has garnered in the shape of
patronage as Il member of congress.
This man is also colonel and his
name is Taylor. He belongs to that
mythical type of person known as the
original Southern Republican, a genus
that is almost extinct. He now says
if the president will give him the pat
ronage of Texas the Republicans will
have-a good show of carrying it in
1884. He also insists at the same
time that if 0chiltree retains the of
fees the state will go Democratic by
majority of 125,000. If this is true
it is quite evident that the president
should throw Col. Ochiltree over and
accept the advice and guidance of Col.
Taylor. in spite of the fact that it is
hardly fair to attack the former while
ne is in Europe holding up the insIi-
tutions of his country with all his ma
tive vigor and red-headedness.

blessing. There will now be good
grass from one end of the state to

OF course, the rains have also been
vastly beneficial to all growing crops.

THE acceptance, on the part of the
English bondholders, Of the PROPOSE
tion of the Mexican government, re-
garding the refunding of the bonded
debt due them by Mexico, may be
looked upon as a decided relief to the
sister republic. The settlement agreed
upon raises the financial standing of
Mexico, and with its increasing pros
per1ty and its enhanced revenues,
even with all its railway subversions
it may now bridge over all its finan-
cial troubles. Under the agreement
with the English bondholders the
Mexican government takes up the
debt at varying rates, coupons and
all, and issues in place of it new 3
per cent bond. How much the debt
amounts to on these terms is nowhere
stated, but the republic issues a new
loan of 920,OOO,OOO, Of which fully
917,OO0OO0 will be required for re-
funding. Thus about 100000 will
be required for interest, and about as
much more for interest on the do
nestle debt to make the republic
square with its creditors. 1t now has
a revenue of over $25,OOO,OOO. Those
who are pushing the development of
the country believe that it will he
able, with tranquility and growth, to
| nav tho iDtprpSt and mpnt ifs CnbSi-
dies to the railroads and all other
charges. What remai-s to be seen is
whether Mexico will expand its pro-
ductive industries, and whether in
the default of these qualities the
American people will pour in and fill
the opportunity of the Spanish and
native races. The latter result ap-
pears to us to be the solution of the
entire question.

THERE seems to be a very general
misunderstanding as to the Scott
liquor law of Ohio One contempt
rary. in expressing it approval of the
decision, says of the Scott law that
"the measure simply provides for
licensing the sale of liquor, and dis
eliminates in favor of the use of malt
and vinous beverages" Another ex-
plains that "the law provides for a
tax graded according to beverages
sold, and hedges the traffic about with
certain restrictions. The law chiefly
provides for the division OF the liquor
sellers of Ohio into two classes the
sellers of spirits, who pay a tax of
500. and the sellers of wine and beer,
who pay 500. The constitution of
Ohio declares that mo license to
traffic in intoxicating liquor shall
hereafter be granted in the state, but
he general assembly may by law pro-
vide against evils resulting there
from. In affirming the Scott law
the supreme court of Ohio declares

THE New York Times freely ad,
mits that there is very little hope fol
Republican success in Iowa because
of rigid stand in favor of "constitu-
tional and statutory prohibition" 1t
says "they seem to forget the majority
of party as represented in conven-
tion is very different thing from a
majority of the people" and it warns
them against presuming on the pop
ular strength they have had in the
past, but which has been dwindling
in the last three years" to enable
them to carry through scheme
against which experience in Kansas
and elsewhere shows that there is a
decided reaction even among its for
mer advocates. 1t declares the posi-
ton taken by the Democrats on this
question in Iowa a wise and sound
one, and says their "tariff for revenue"
plank is also acceptable to the MAJOR
ity of the voters of that state, and
COuC1uuoS DIS lO11OWS
IF, then, the Republicans of Iowa
see fit TO make prohibition the con-
trolling issue of the canvass, there is
prospect that they will not only
weaken themselves, but they will lose
the state. Experience in older COM
monwealths shows that absolute pro-
hibition is utterly impracticable and
fosters a demorahZing evasion of the
law. 1t has done much towards en-
couraging a mischievous disrespect
for all law. Aside from the familiar
objections to prohibition as legis-
lative policy, the inexpediency of i'm
bedding it in the constitution, where
it will beget in a large part of the
citizens contempt even for the fun
damental law of the state, ought to
be-obvioqs. We do not believe that
a majority Of the people of Iowa will
sustain the position which the Re
publican convention is in danger of
assuming"
Should the Republican party be de-
feated in both Ohio and Iowa, we
may expect to see it give up the
ghost before the presidential canvass
opens. In fact, should it be SO de-
feated, the organization will at once
be virtually dead, and even before
the summer of 1884 we may see some
new ism attempt to build itself up
upon Republican ashes.

Its Disastrous Results
Philadelphia Record.

When the people of this country
are convinced that there can be no
export trade without reciprocal i'm
port trade, the present policy of ex-
cluslon will fall almost without a
blow. The country's vast and increas-
ing productions of the farm and man
ufacturing industry cannot find an
outlet to the markets of the world so
long as he protective system MAIN
tains barrier against foreign trade.
The question is whether a quick
witted people, keenly alive to their
business interests, will inaugurate the
better policy in season. or whether it
will come after a long and bitter ex-
perience, filed with the disastrous re-
suits of protection, such as have been
witnessed in former periods.
