TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESEN.
TATlON,"

The population Of Texas in 1880 was
1851 ,S49' ibis was nearly double the
population of the State by the preceding
census. 1t was an increase of nearly 100
per cent. in ten years, AS great as was
that growth, it looks from recent figures
as if we were forging ahead of it now
ana ming up our waste places at the
rate oil P.oout Is per cent. increase of pop
ul%dCn annually. Such is the conclu-
sion from the scholastic census just pub
lished. If this be the case, Texas ought
to have now nearly if net
cutie 100000 or 100000 more
than she had in 1880, and if
the growth continues until 1890, we
should have about 50 or 80 per cent.
more, or at least 4,500,0OO. If the basis of
Congressional representation is enlarged
say $4,000 to the district, Texas will stand
in the House of Representatives with
twenty congressman after 1890,
But how oppressivoly and unfairly
after all does the present time and
method of apportionment work! Here
are 100000 men in Texas VINO are
not properly represented either in
Washington or Austin. Every l54,OOO
people in round numbers are entitled to
a Congressman for instance, under the
present law, and yet with population
of 100000 we have only eleven, while
| . hn Iat1 10 giN
this 200 900 unrcpresented people, grow
ing all the time, must wait seven years
yet before they will have voice in the
National councils, so to speak. Other
communities are perhaps in the
same condition, but not all. If all
then practically there could be no in
Justice done. But States that certainly
have not increased their population so
rapidly retain their strength and vote
equally as strong as Texas. Kentucky
has eleven Congressman under the APP
portionment of 1850, and will remain as
strong in Congress as Texas until 1891,
and yet for years We will have over
l,OOOOOO more population than Ken
| lucky.
The same is true of communities in
States. One county in Eastern Texas
with one representative in our Lower
House in 1880, had population equal
to six Western counties. BY this time
perhaps four of those six counties would
each out vote the Eastern county, and
yet they must remain as weak at Austin
collectively, as that individual county
over next to Louisiana with but one
fourth their population.
Practically and really, therefore, mil
lions fthe people of this country remain
without just representation either in
the Federal or State councils for five OF
six years ont every decade. Practi.
cally, in other words, millions are dis.
franchised half the time. Itis taxation
without representation, wherever the
community is attractive and prosporou,
enough to ill up rapidly with popula
ton, while the stagnant and nonprogros
sive communities are kept as strong a,
ever under our peculiar system of ap
portionment.
1t is a remarkable circumstances there
fore, that the more progressive a com
munity the less political strength it ha,
for Mt least five years out Of every ten
Here is a practical problem for our So
Ions to handlc-a reform i'm method,
worthy OF the name of reform.

man a. }. Montgomery; he resided in
Hearde. From Information given The
negro was crazy, and has been taken off
the track three times by parties to keen
him from being killed. This verdict
was q surprise to many, and was rem
dered on circumstantiSi evidence which
IN the main, was as follows: That
the deceased was seen before the freight
train was due, walking on the railroad
and he inquired the way to Hearne,
which was shown him. lie was then
going toward Hammond and continued

A YEAR OF two ago, all kinds Of live
stock, cattle, sheep and horses, attained
to fictitious value. Shrewd stockmen
knew that prices could not long be
maintained, bnt still held on to all they
had. The same feeling held good all
over the cattle growing districts, from
Montana to Mexico. In the last twelve
months prices have declined from
twelve to twenty per cent, and it is
very doubtful if the bottom has yet been
reached. Had JAY GOULD owned large
herds of cattle two years ago, it is safe to
assume he would not own hoof or q
horn to-day, for he holds on to nothing
when it gets above it's value and buys
only when below the cost of produc-
ton. Bnt cattlemen are not all JAY
GoULDs, and that is why so many have
large herds on their hands to-day.
There may be soon an over-production
of cattle, as has been demonstrated in
almost all other profitable enterprises.
