Mr.. o. ]. HA1uIs, the owner OF Village

special confidence in the produce OF unrsoed

HA1nM is ready to test his theory, n Tor

Phallas, with q record Of 2:1stt, and the
owner Of Jerome Eddy. whose mark is 2 :16l.
It must be said that this theory regard
ing the particular qualities Of untracked
horses Is not new. Many turfmen Of expo

take the brother.

Foolish Amendments to the Tax Laws.

Ever since the existence Of the State Of
New York we believe that real estate has
been taxed in the city or county In which 1t
was situated or located. That Is to say that
the situs OF lands and tenements has deter
mined the place Of taxation. And personal
property has always been taxed In the State
OF New York In the place deeme d to be the
legal residence Of it's owner or possessor.
1t Is alleged that under our present tax
laws Il large portion of personality escapes
taAation. This is probably true, but it Is
equally true Of any othor large city In the
Federal Union, and capitalists doing business
In the city of New York or having business
relations with this city cannot in any legal

THE COUNTY JUDGEsHIP.

Voters of Austin and Travis county will
find it to their interest to read the state
ment of the eight gentlemen who have
made a critical analysis of certified copies
of the records of the administrations of
Judges Fillmore and Breckenridge, pub
lished in this issue Of THE STATESMAN.
This document deals in no argument,
but presents cold figures and state
ments. 1t is for the voters to de-
eide whether the county has profit
ed proportionately with the outlay
of money declared expended. Other than
the improvement of the Jail and courthouse
has anything of a material character been
accomplished calling for the expenditure
of so much money? Has the administration
of the important Office of county judge
under Judge Breckenridge been extraVa-
CANT Or not? Has it been business like?
Has it been profitable to the county? 1t
is the duty of the taxpayers and voters to
decide these questions. If the admins
tration has not been in these res
poets what was desirable, is it the
intention of the people to con-
tinue the present judge in power for
another two years? If his policy is
wrong, it would seem the sooner it is
changed the better for the county. The
interests of Travis county are varied and
valuable and require the most careful at
tention. The records are before the peo-
pie and they are the judges, they have the
power to speak, and to them the question
is relegated for decision.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-10-18
DEMOCRATIC DUTY.

The democrat in this county who does
not next month vote the straight demo
cratic ticket, from top to bottom, should
have very good reasons for not doing so.
With the parties as nearly equally divided
as they are in Travis, if party orgsniza-
ton amounts to anything it should be
strictly enforced and honestly supported.
No one can dispute the patent fact that
the ticket put out by the democracy is a
thoroughly good one, But, if it were not,
is the opposing mongrel ticket any bet
ter? That ticket represents nothing but
the gentlemen whose names are on it.
For the important county offices they
have named two republicans, while for
tho other offices stand political monde
scripts, without party or pledge except
ance. Between the two tickets the choice
should be easily arrived at; and, when 1t
is remembered that behind the demo-
cratic ticket stands great political party
pledged to see that its candidates mann
tain the dignity of its record and uphold
its pure and strictly business-like history,
then all doubt as to a democrats
duty should be forever dispelled'
Travis, in her relations with the other
counties of the state, cannot afford to
acquire the name of republican county.
She has too much to ask at the hands of
the legislature for her not to be en- rapport
with the overwhelming political sentiment
of the state. The seat of the state gov
eminent, she should be source of polit-
ical inspiration, shining example of I'M
swerving adherence to the political faith
in which the state glories, and which
crowns her history and welfare with such
wreath of work we'll done. The mass of
the voters of this county may not think
of this and see its Importance. 1t should
then be the duty of our political club and
the leaders of the party to lose no oppor-
tunity to bring home to them all the
crucial necessity for wheeling Travis IN
mistakably into the democratic lines and
keeping her there. 1t is to the county's
advantage IN her self-government and her
relations with the state,

against him, and have had sent from here
certified copies of suits now pending in
the federal court at Austin against Colonel
Taylor for the importation of Scotch
granite cutters, and also copies of
contracts made by him with the
state for the uss of her con.
victs in quarrying stone and granite
for the capitol building. 1t is understood
Colonel Taylor has been anxious to have
the building accepted by the capitol
board, so as to get clear receipt from
the board for the building, but that ques-
ton is still held in allegiance, and will not
probably be taken up for consideration
until about the first of November.

STATE NEWS.
Items and Comments Culled From
State Exchanges.

For the past few years the farmers of
the Kempner neighborhood have been
suffering from drouth and the failure of
crops.
Friday second roller mill opened up
for business in Decatur, and will run night
and day, with capacity of $50 barrels

A third vote on incorporating was taken
at San Angelo on the 10th. The cleo
ton resulted in the proposition being
defeated by vote of 2O2 for and 2O4
against incorporating.
Thursday evening as Mrs. j. W. Thomp-
son, Miss Lulu Thompson and Bessie
Thompson we're out driving near the rail-
road depot, in Chapel Hill, an unhitched
team of horses became frightened, and,
dsshing against the buggy, overturned it,
throwing Mrs. Thompson and her two
daughters violently to the ground. Mrs.
Thompson and Miss Lulu were consider
ably bruised, but not seriously hurt.
When Mrs. Thompson arose she found one
of the buggy wheels still resting on Miss
