Texas Overlooking Treasury.

The Galveston Neus of late date
contains the following significant
paragraph:
Recent dispatches from the State
capital indicate that the cash balance
In the State treasury exceeds three
million dollars. Something over two
million dollars of this sum belongs
70 special funds, and ought to be in
vested. As has lately been shown IN
hese columns, the Treasurer cannot
now make any desirable investment.
There then remains two million dol
iafS idle until another session of the
legislature is had. In case the con-
Satuhonal amendments are adopted
and this result is not doubted-the
legislature is required to designate
Ihe kind and class of investments
desired. Until this is done the funds
u question remain idle, and, at hve
per cent, the loss is estimated at one
hundred thousand dollars per annum,
OF about one hundred and fifty thou
and dollars from the time the
amendments are voted upon until the
regular session of the next Leglsla-
elre. An extra session would cost
,ulrty-fve thousand dollars or less.
u Is then evident that this invest
nent question would justify the ex-
Pense Of an extra session"

people by the tax gatherer under the
assumption the State needed it, but
1T seems the State neither needs it to
pay any debt, nor currnt expense,
and cannot even proftably invest it.
While the State ought to have all the
money necessary to promptly meet
every legitimate demand, it ought not
to take from its citizens one dollar
more. 1t should be left with. them.
They have use, every day, for every
cent they have or can get. The
three million dollars now lying idle is
neither doing Texas or the people
any good, and ought to be distributed
back among them as quickly as it
can be legitimately done. 1t is con-
trary to the genius, as well as the let
ter of republican government, to tax
the people one mill beyond the
amount actually necessary for it's
present maintenance. Aside from its
taking money from them they daily
need, an Overlooking treasury" works
corruption and breeds extravaganza
among executive officers and legis-
lators. ...
AS the State officers can find
nothing to invest this surplus in, we
suggest the State tax be omitted until
the treasury is exhausted. AS the
State makes no public improvements
beyond the erection of a few houses,
why should several million be annu-
ally collected? If it were for educa-
ton, or anything else which would
benefit the people, this would be all
right. But to collect to hoard is
wholly unjust.-Dallas Planter and

Forests and Rainfall.
'tersburg, Va, Rural Messenger

1t is well known that mountain tops
intercept clouds, and cause precipita-
ton of moisture. There can be no
doubt but that tall forests do the same
thing. They arrest the passage of
vapor, cause the formation of clouds,
and hence lead to frequent and gen.
tie rains, rather than storms of great
violence. Where there is little or no
forest, storms are far more violent than
in wooded districts. Look at the
great prairie region of the West. Take
up any daily OF weekly of the past
two months and notice the localities
of the great storms. They happened
mostly in the woodless districts
of the West. There was nothing to
arrest the clouds and cause gentle
showers to fall, and when the forces
of the elements did gather there were
great storms and vast destruction of
property. On the other hand the At
lantic slope is very seldom visited by
storms Of great severity and never
within the history. of the white race
here have there been storms of such
magnitude and power as we read of
as occurring almost every spring in
the treelesss region of the West. Our
Allegheny mountains and to less
degree our forests, have saved us from
these dreadful visitations. The
mountains will remain, for man can
not move them. and hence it is prob
able that this section will never be
the scene of tornadoes and cyclones
of such power as to sweep whole
towns out of existence in single hour.
It is fortunate indeed for us that the
mountains are there for were they
not there, it is more than probable
that we too would suffer every spring
from those annual visitations that
sweep over the West.
But any tolerably close observer of
the weather in this region, must have
noticed tendency within a few years
past to heavier rainfalls and stronger
winds than formerly. Droughts have
been more marked, and the fall of
rain has been greater where rain did
occur than ever before. Instead of
gentle and frequent showers, the rain
holds off longer at time, and when
it comes, pours down in such volume
and force as often to do great damage
in very short time. This has been
the case more than once the present
spring. Evidently the seasons are
changing somewhat, and it is equally
evident there is some natural cause
for it. What is it? We believe it to
be the rapid and extensive removal of
the best and more elevated of the for
est trees. In large sections the tim
Der that is left is neither dense nor
elevated enough to arrest the lower
strata of vapors and clouds, they do
not larry long enough to collect, and
hence there is no precipitation OF ram.
Thus it is our people, by removing
the forests are impairing our section as
an agricultural region. Gentle show
ers, the delight of every farmer, are
becoming less frequent, and viii con-
tinue to become so till the injury to
to the farming interest will, we fear,
be untold. There is no use to urge

those are a m who is a woman, and

California, a true woman ruled as a
queen in a miners camp, and if she was
the mother of an infant, she reigned as
an empress. A good story is told by the
California Eye, which is worth repeat
ing:
Nestled close by the saloon at Grand
Forks, in the very heart Of the peaks OF
the Sierras, was the home Of Henry Mil
Ter, a brother Of Joaquin Miller. he
had a very sensible mi for a vile,
who bore him a beautiful son.
When the child was three weeks old,
MI. Miller, in a waggish way, told the
''boys' he had 'struck it rich, " and had
at that very time a nugget at his house
that weighed twelve pounds. III any OF
them doubted his word, they could call
at the house any time aud be convinced.
In few minutes a delegation Of min
ers fled out Of the saloon and made q
straight line for Miller's home.
