HoUsToN's DIFFICULTIES.

The Post seems to be offended at allu
sions to the financial difficulties of Hous-
ton by some of the state papers. The
objection is not we'll taken. The question
of Houston's mammoth debt-its origin
it's magnitude, and its effects upon the
growth and prosperity of the Bayou city
is Legitimate subject for newspaper
comment, and one that may be prOftably
ventilated as warning to other corpora
tions that would pursue the same course
that has involved the municipality of
Houston in hopeless bankruptcy and
| financial ruin. We can do SO, "withOut
malice aforethought," or any intention
whatever to injure the city which bears the
name of the father of rexas.
Indeed the fact as intimated by the
| Post, that the power of the federal
| courts has been invoked by the
bondholders to compel the council to levy
special tax for payment of the enor-
nous accrued interest of vast debt of
two million collars, makes it matter of
friendly solicitude throughout the state
So long as this immense municipal debt
existed without correspondingly in
creased rate of taxation-the limit for
Houston by its charter being two per
cent, one per cent of this being for the
bonded interest-the unfortunate property
owners felt no alarm. If, however, the
forcible levying of a spe-
cial tax to cancel the inter
est becomes an open question, then the
Houston taxpayer may well feel un.
easy.
The fact is, that before the first bond
consolidation contaminated under Mayor
Wilson, there were grounds for the re-
pudiation of axlarge portion of a debt
created by negro republican aldermen-a
VIGOROUSLY corrupt council-appointed
by Gov. Davis, debt for which the tax
payers of Houston are really not morally
responsible. But an enthusiastic, short
sighted council threw away the chance by
entering into new contract, sealed by the |
legislature-a contract in which the pro-
perty owners were bound hand and foot,
but the bondholders assumed no new obi |
cations.
AS it is, the future of Houston as a cor
poration, does not look bright. If the
federal court has the power to force the
council to impose special levy, then our
Houston friends are certainly in bad fix
From communications in Fridays Post,
from Judge Hill and Others, it seems a
serious movement will be made to have the
Legislature destroy the charter and re-
duce Houston to taxing district. This
might modify the situation. but cannot |
wipe out the debt or impair the obligation
of a contract.

Tur following common sense utteranse

The following common sense utteranse
is taken from the Indianapolis Freeman:
1t seems quite likely that the Morrison
bill will at least receive some consldera-
ton from this congress. Everyone feels
that our revenue is too large, and there
fore that there must be some reduction OF
taxation. The question is, what taxes
shall be reduced? Here there is radical
difference of opinion, and upon this point
there can be no possible agreement be-
tween free traders and protectionists'
There can be ne compromise between the
friends of free whisky and free clothes.
So we don't hope for much from this con-
gress.
No compromise should be expested or
desired. When free traders discover that
between protectionists and themselves
there is no room for compromise, the day
will begin to break on the cause of com
mercial liberty. There can come no good
out of an attempted reconciliation of es'
sentially hostile principles. The fight to
the-death has to come sometime, and the
sooner it comes the better for all parties
Cease atinkering" with the tariff. Make
the fight for an immediate reduction to
revenue basis, and absolute free trade
shortly thereafter as practicable.

UNJUSTLY CHARGED.
HON. JOHN ID. M'CALL NIPS a
FALSEHOOD ON THE WING.

HON. JOHN ID. M'CALL NIPS a
FALSEHOOD ON THE WING.
A short time ago the STATESMAN sought
and obtained an interview with Hon.
John d. Mccall, comptroller elect on the
subject of removals in his department,
and also on the subject of the employ
ment of lady clerks. The statements
made by Mr.. Mccall have been fruitful
source of discussion to the press of the
state, and nearly all of the leading papers
have had something to say on the ques-
tions, generally commendatory of Mr..
McCalfs position. A charge, however,
has been given to the public that Mr.. Nc
Call intended to run the Office in the
interest of a reelection, and
one paper went so far as to say that it
had learned upon good authority, that the
new comptroller had said that he could
hold the office as long as he wanted to, or
words to that effect. The same repre-
sentative of The STATESMAN, who drst in
terviewed Mr.. Mccall, sought him again
and asked him to express himself with re-
gard to this charge.
Said Mr.. Mccall: "What is the use of
my going into print upon charge SO
silly as this? My remarks which the
STATESMAN published comprises all have
ever said to the newspapers regarding the
proposed management of the Office, and
no sane man can comfort from that inter.
view such a construction as is sought to
be placed. To my friends have invari-
ably said, that, grateful for the confidence
the people have manifested
by electing me, intend to use my best
efforts to so manage the office as will
serve the interests of the state in the full
est and most satisfactory manner. 1
have never, by word or even intimation,
given any one the least ground upor
which to base such charge as has been
made against me. 1 would not be man
if did not appreciate the good will of
my friends, and if l did not work to keep
their confidence, but in the administra-
tion of the comptroller's Office 1 shall do
my duty as 1 see it, with no thought what
ever of whether l shall be renominated or
not. hope this statement will settle
the question and nail the lie as it de-
serves to be nailed

THAT honored class known as "old Tex

the last to go over the river was Mrs. Sal
lie Hensley, who died at Patterson, Waller
county, yesterday. Mrs. Hensley was
about so years of age, and the widow OF
Rev. johnson Hensley, who died many
years ago, the two having come to Texas
before the battle of San Jaeinto, April 2l
1886. Mrs. Hensley leaves large family
