 The repeal of the drummers' tax law in Texas, which will necessarily follow the re- cent decision of the Supreme court, has sug- gested the wisdom of making other changes. No less than sixty-two occupations in Texas some of these, it is said, will not repay the State for the printing and the work done in reporting collections. According to the last report of the controller the clairvoyants paid $45 into the State treasury, the bill posters contributed SIP, the pool sellers $20; there was received the licenses of ship mer- chants $7, and among the other sources of revenue were taxes on cock fights, gas com~ panies, hacks, telephones and wagon yards.
 The Nashville American was foolish enough to say the other day that northern men and northern capital have had but little to do in developing the South. The Chatta- nooga Times thus atly rebukes the Ameri- can; Such talk is stupid, false and mis- chisvous to the last degree. The bonds and stocks of our railroads, furnaces and manu- featuring corporations represent money paid for them by northern investors, and that money is the foundation of all of our great enterprises. We want more northern money, skill and experience, and we shall get less of them if we tell these who own and control these essentials that their millions and exers tions in the past are mere bagatelles not worth mentioning.
 M. Anatale Biguechet has been the defend- ant in a suit before Paris magistrate, in which marble cutter named Boulingrin sought to recover S30 for composing and putting upon marble sn elegy to the late Mime. Biguechet. The elegy was read in court by the marble enter and seemed to be all right, but when it came the turn of the defence Biguechet declared that it was ali a | lie, and said that after giving the order for the elegy and tombstone he had found com- promising photographs in his wite's writing desk and unmentienable letters in her empty ! jam pots. and discovered that she had long been untrue to him. He said he would go the scaffold rather than pay $80 for mon- ument to the memory of such woman, but the court decided that he must pay it, nevertheless.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Decisions Rendered by That Tribunal
Yesterday-An Arkansas Case.

ioebeiuuy- AL AIhhuSdS Ease.
WASHINGTON, April 90.-The supreme
court of the United States today rendered
an opinion in the cases OF the people Of
the State Of California vs.. the Central Pa
cific Railroad company, the Southern Pa
cific and the Northern Railroad companies
and the California Pacific Railroad com
pany. These cases are commonly known
by the name OF the California tax cases
and have interest not only in California
but in financial circles in the east.
The suits were brought by the State Of
California to recover the State and county
taxes laid on the railroads franchises and
rolling stock OF the several companies, as
assessed by the state board OF equalization
and do not involve the assessments made
by the county boards nor assessments on
the lands OF the companies, the taxes on
which were duly paid The companies
also rendered and paid GO per cent. lin
one case 80 per cent, OF the taxes
sued for without prejudice on either side
as TO the remainder. The defenses set up
in the present suits were much the same
as in the similar suits decided two years
ago. They were, first, an alleged discrim-
ination against the company contrary to
the fourteenth amendment to the const-
tuition, in disalcwing n deduction for
mortgages which is allowed to all other
citizens; second, that the assessments in
cuded property which by the
State constitution, the State board
OF equalization had no right TO
assess, but which was assessable and actu-
ally assessed by the county boards; third,
that the assessments in some OF the cases
included franchises granted TO the COM
panies by Congress such as that OF con.
structing railroads in the United States,
Territories as we'll as in the State. The
circuit court found these deienscs to be
true in point OF fact, and the SUI
preme court, without expressing any
| opinion on the first ground OF
amendment, sustains the other grounds
court. The decision conforms TO the
former decision OF the court made two
years ago in reference TO similar taxes on
some OF the same roads, the only new
point being the illcgality of taxing fran
chises granted to the companies by Con-
gress The judgments Of the circuit court
in all the cases are affirmed. Justice
Miller disscntcd.
An opinion was also rendered in the
case OF the United States appellant vs..
Chas. W. Beebc ct al. Appeal from the
circuit court OF the United States for the
eastern division Of Arkansas.
This is a suit in equity brought by the
! Attorney-Gcncral on behalf OF the United
States TO set aside and cancel certain pat
ents issued in favor Of Roswell Beebe, in
1888 and 1899 Tor about $50 acres Of land
upon which the city Of Little Rock, Ark.
is partly built The court sus,ains the

and America M being further developed TO
the advantage OF both nations.

The humble of Grasshoppcrs Getting Ready
TO Hop on to No. / Hard.

The Number of Grasshoppers Getting Ready
20 Hop on to No. ! Hard
ST. PAUL, june 1.-THE rumors of
g%rasshoppers in Otter Tail county have
been confirmed by Investigation just
completed by Prof. ,Luger of the State
Experimental farm. There are thou
sands of millions of the pests Matching
out in the neighborhood of Pcrham, and,
not only that, but already there ara
many of them big enough to jump, and
jump vigorously. Some days ago Gov
ernor MoGill sent Luger up to Purham
him with instructions to make a thor
ough examination. He reported to the
governor confirming the reports. Prof.
Luger says there are a number Of town
ships which are literally alive with the
grasshoppers just hatehing out. They
are the genuine Rocky mountain variety
that did such great damage a number OF
years ago. The professor says: aWe
have purchasedf four car loads of material,
which will be shipped at once to Perham.
1t comprises ooal.sar, tin, sheet-iron, and
muslin which is used to builG machines
by which grasshoppers are caught and
destroyed. Governor McGill acted with
c~onmendable promptness in the matter
and was hard at work all the morning
in connection with Prof. Luger making
purchases of supplies and attending to
shipment to the locality which seems in
such imminent danger of being the start
Ing point of the dreadful scourge.
