In referring to the farmers InSu-
tutes of Wisconsin, the Lancaster Tel
Ter asks the pertinent question:
And are they not having a deter
Grating effect? Are they not tending
to close the eyes and tying the tongues
Of the industrial classes from seeing
their true dangers and from speaking
out on subjects where light IS needed! y
The Teller has reference to the pre-
vcntion by the institute conductors of
the discussions Of the tariff and other
questions of burning interest to the
farmers Of the northwest. And there
is certainly just ground for complaint
upon this score. 1t would not he SO
very bad if the policy Of furnishing
only good instructive lessons in practi
cal farming was strictly adhered to.
But while on the one hand any refer
encc to high tariff taxation, trusts,
manopolics, ext prtionatc transportation
charges, and kindred evils, are inyari-
ably frowned down, Hon. j. w. Rewey,
Of this county, has been put into the
10 tell the people of the state that they
pay no state tax and who pays the
taxes collected and what becomes Of
the money Now, The Democrat is not
disposed to find fault with Mr.. ReWey
for his strong convictions ~ the sub
iect of assessment and taxation, nor
for giving his views vigorous expression.
But if it is fright and proper to consider
and discuss ut length the subject of
sta'e taxation, why is it absolutely
wrong to even refer to federal taxation?
II Mr.. Coleman, the national commits
sioner of agriculture, should send out
tariff reform emissarics to tell the far
mers Of the land who pays the tariff
tux and what becomes of the money,
how would the protcCtionistS like 1t?
But this would be pre-cminently fair
compared with the course of the con
ductors of Wisconsin farm institutes
in discouraging concert of political
action upon the part of farmers, while
trying to persuade them that they are
indebted to the republican party for
exemption from the payment of tax
for general state purposes. Was ever
before such an attempt made to deceive
the people? Why, every voter ought
to know that it is owing to the mem
orable revolt of Wisconsin farmers
against the republican party in 1873
that we are now free from the burden
Of general state tax The legislature
elected at that time adopted system of
taxing corporations which has each sue
Cecding year yielded an increased rev
enue, which, in spite of cNtravagant re
publican administrations, is now amply
sufficient to defrav the general state eN-
panses This is fact of which it might
be well to remind the people occasion
ally; but is scarcely Mr.. Rewey'S object
in talking to the people about the no
state tax matter. 1t is too much, how
ever, too expect the advocates Of the
falloai,,,c doctrine If 1,rntnatjrD IN

Schmidt Case--A Compliment
TO the Light--A One-Sided
View of the Situation.
AUSTIN, Feb. %.
Editor San Antonio LIGHT:
l am more and more convinced that
the "LIGHT" practices what it breaches
Free speech" We have read the
Rosa Schmidt case very closely to see
how it would end. 1t clearly demon
strates that there Is moral tendency to
uphold the majesty OF the law. l. That
the law has penal sanctions. 2. That
trespassers cannot, without provoking
the visitation of that penalty Of the law
upon their pates, violate 1t with impu-
nifty. The case before US ia cloudless
one; the indictment must have been so
clear as to make 1t possible for the jury
to render the verdict, guilty" etc.
The court passed sentence, everything
was made 80 plain that it seemed i'm
possible for counsel to lay any
claim whatever to executive clemency.
The idea prevails that governments and
nations exist for the common veal of
the whole people. This sentiment pre-
vailed In the case under consider alton,
But 1t ia equally clear, that something
ridiculous must be done, to veil the ter
rible face OF the law, that its fury
might be turned away. And something
viot was chained to "burly Niger"
In Thinking manila fhia ot tto
purpose well. she being chained to
white male eonvicts, cut no figure In the
case, that "burly Niger" Is the center
OF all attraction. A monster mass meet
ing was held; this "burly Niger"
is made the soapegoat, and the
safe conductor OF the electric fury,
and his race is made to share,
and to stand sponsor for ali
crime. Indeed black face is consider
ed nowadays, to be the unerring index
Of black heart. This dramatic farce
had its dreadful effect. The young lady
is set at liberty, her friends ought to feel
satisfied. Officer Winter has been dis
charged, so that peace might be re-
stored. Everybody knows, or ought to
know, that that "burly Niger" never In
his life done better service than to walk
three quarters of mile in chained
gang OF conyicts, among which one was
female. We have read Mr.. j. X. Davis
article in the Texas Citizen, but as we
did not examine 1t with philosophers

was pleading for "miscegenation." Da-
Wis, II you did 1t will tell you In plain
words II God allows us to draw one
more breath that you did very ignor.
ant thing. If a man has chance to draw
only one more breath on earth, to utter
one word more, let him utter the truth.
If he has black face 1t will not matter;
truth crushed to earth will rise again"
and stare you In the face. To lovers Of
truth It makes bus little difference on
which side Of the line 1t flashes it's light
into the faces of its haters. Heavens

Two Ways. Choose Which

There are two usual ways of doing what ma
ture sometimes does incompletely, namely, to
relieve the bowels. One is to swallow dras-
tic purgative which evacuates profusely, alb
ruptly and with pain, the other is to take Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, the effect of which
is not violent, but sufficiently thorough, and
which does not grippe the intestines.
IL the first is selected, the person
employing it need not expect permanent ben
eft, and he cannot hope to escape the debili-
hand, he resorts to the Bitters, he can rely
upon the restoration of a regular habit
of body, consequent upon renewal of a
healthful tone in the intestinal canal. Be-
sides BEAUTIFULLY relaxing the bowels, the Bit
tiers arouses a dormant liver, imparts bene-
fetal impetus to the action of the kidneys,
and counteracls the early twlnges of rheu-
matism, tendency to govt, and malaria in all
its forms.
