Bates VS.. Evans.

Quite o curious contest for the GER
tificate of election to Congress from
this District between Bates and
Evans, has been developed. The
Sheriffs of Rhea and Meigs counties
send their returns with full number
of votes cast, which gives to Evans
a small majority in each county.
Each Sheriff also certifies that in one
District of each county illegal votes
were cast for Evans and that the
election in these Districts, was, in
other respects, conducted in an
illegal manner. If the votes of these
two Districts be thrown out, then
Bates has a small majority in the
Congressional District, and is entitled
to the certificate of election. The
case was ably argued before the State
Board of Canvassers, last week, and
as it is a matter in which the people
of this county have a deep interest,
we give below an outline Of the
arguments on both sides Of the ques-
ton taken from the American; f
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1888-12-01

WE see that the question of admit
ting women to the Vanderbilt Uni
versity is again being discussed.
Mixed education we think is a very
doubtful problem. Some colleges
that tried it have given it up as fail
ure. The introduction of women in
to our male schools would no doubt
benefit greatly our young men, but
we doubt its influence on the women.
This is not the question of higher
education for women, but hOO it is to
be attained. Our female colleges have
about as high a standard, and do
about as good work as our male
schools. Our women who graduate
at them equal, if on an average they
do not excel, in intelligence our male
graduates. The fact is that the average
Of intelligence among our educated
women is higher than the average
among men. We believe in the
widest latitude of learning for women.
Other things being equal, the more a
woman knowns the better she is able
to solve the problems of life, and the
more will her influence be. But we
protest against sacrificing the best for
women, in order to help our young
men up to a higher standard.

THE State Board Of Canvassers have
divided in oppinion on the Bates
Evans contest, Gov. Taylor for
Evans, and Secretary of State, ALI
son for Bates. The question now is,
can the Governor issue a certificate at

is entitled to it.

THE DAILY
THE Judiciary Committee yesterday

THE Judiciary Committee yesterday
reported upon the petition of Bowler,
and others, asking for appropriations to
paw for certain work done on the Palace
wall and other matters. This report has
been looked for with much interest, as it
is generally understood that the work,
for which the laborer asks to be paid,
was the ratification of the Palace against
the people last year. 1t has also been
supposed that the contract for the work
was not authorized by law, ALSO that the
amount of the contract was far in excess
of the value of the work. The disap-
pointment was general when the report
came in and conveyed absolutely no in
formation as to the facts. The Commit
tee find that the question is one of
mixed law and fact, and ought not to be
passed over by the Legislature, but the
party is to seek his remedy by action at
law. The report closed with the aston
ishing recommendation that contin-
gent appropriation sufficient to cover the
claims, shonld judgment be obtained,
be inserted in the Appropriation bill
This did not seem to suit the House,
and rather strong discussion took place,
in which just enough OF the facts were
brought out to add zest to the desire for
more inform ton. Finally, Mr.. Wide
mann moved that the report be recon-
mitted, as it did not comply with rule
40, which. requires a specific finding as
to matters of fact, and the honorable
Noble could not find out from the report
what the facts were. This brought the
Minister of the Interior to his feet with
the point that the report was not in order
as not complying with the rule. The
report was then ruled out of order under
rule 40, from which Noble Smith ap-
pealed, and in his argument on the
appeal good humoredly characterized
the ruling as preposterous and absurd.
The House evidently was not of that
mind, for the ruling was sustained by

The truth is that the system of ex-
emption of various closes from taxation
is wrong in principle. 1t cannot be con-
sistently carried out and the just course
is simply to abolish it altogether. We
do not believe that self respecting min
listers and teachers wish to be relieved
from any part of the burdens of taxa
ton. We believe they would prefer to
share them as all other classes do with
out any discrimination in their favor.
Ministers are not always philanthropy
lists. When they are not, they certainly
have no claim to any special privileges,
and when they are, we believe that they
find and prefer to find, that virtue is it's
own reward. 1t is inconsistent with
the doctrine that government should be
strictly secular to make any special dis
elimination in favor of ministers. 1t is
inconsistent with the spirit of demo-
cratic institutions to create artificial dis
tinc;ions in favor of any class whatever.
If the Legislature asserts the principle
by its vote this morning, we believe it
will thus best satisfy it's own matured
judgment and that of the country at
large

The case of the teachers is little diff
ferent, but the conclusion is the same.
1t is true that they are not well paid, but
then neither do they have to work as
hard as the poor slaves down town who
keep business hours in the dust and heat
from eight to six, and pay the assessor
besides. If the teachers are not paid as
much as they ought TO be, raise their
salaries. 1t is fraud on them, as we'll
as shabby and disgraceful expedient,
to cut them down to starvation wages
and then endeavor to lay little sooth-
ing balm to your conscience, by remit
ting their taxes in the sum of Eve dol

THE bill introduced by Mr.. Townsend
about six weeks ago, relating to the ex-
emption of teachers, ministers and sol
diers from the payment of personal
taxes came up for its third reading yes
terday afternoon. The bill narrowly
escaped destruction on it's second read
ing, Mr.. Hitchcock having proved its
saviour in the nick of time by calling
attention to the fact that the teachers
and ministers of the House being inter
ested parties had no right to vote. The
fate of the bill was not settled yesterday,
as the House got all tangled up in a dis
cussion over ruling of the chair, which
ended in motion to adjourn. The vote
stood on the motion to indefinitely post
pone the bill about a tie (some votes
were disputed) when the House took a
rest.

AS for the ministers, they serve for
poor pay, as Mr.. Kinney yesterday forci-
bly, observed, in the hope of a heavenly
reward, and not for the sake. of
this pitiful rebate of five dollars a
year This financial inducement is SIM
ply stumbling block thrown in their
way, tending to confound their steps,
and corrupt the purity of their motives.
The path should be made smooth for
their feet, and it is very poor business
for the Legislature to be strewing it with
obstacles.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-07-28

On the whole the bill is right in prin-
ciple, when it abolishes the exemption
in favor of teachers and ministers. 1t is
true that both these classes are gener-
ally underpaid, but that is no reason
why they should be relieved from their
share of the public burden. They share
the benefits of the government and laws.
There are plenty of persons who are as
poorly paid as teachers and ministers.
Editors for example lead a miserable
hand to mouth existence, besides being
the patient objects of general con-
tumely. Why should not they be ex-
empt from the payment of taxes?
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-07-28

We think this bill, though not one of
very great Importance perhaps, is yet a
thoroughly good one, which ought to be
passed. The feature of it which meets
our special approval is the fact that it
abolishes the exemption of regular sol
diers from personal taxation. Why that
class should ever have been exempted is
one of the things forever inscrutable to
the reason. Anyone might we'll be led
to suppose that the regular army was
the most useful as we'll as most orna-
mental part of the community. Such
an exemption simply sets a premium on
loafng, and we confess for our own part
we would much rather see the regulars
taxed out of existence than fostered and
cherished by the bonus of So head.
