Texas Taxes.
New Birmingham Times.


Mr.. Samuel SIosson Of Northern Kan
sas visited New Birmingham last week
and in showing him the good things of
Texas, his brother, W. B. Slosson,
showed him the rate of taxation in Cher
okee county, which is less than thirty
cents on the 500. This was complete
surprise to Mr. SIosson, who remarked
that the taxes of the SlOssOn Bros. in
Kansas last year were over six hundred
dollars, paying at the rate of So 90 on
the 500 OF valuation. If all their
property had been in Texas it would
have cost them $50 instead of $500, or
q saving of 80 per cent. This is i'm
portant to all capitalists Of the North
who are looking toward Texas as a place
for investment. 1t means an income
saved each year by the reduction in tax
alton alone Taxes mean cash on
demand. The collector never fails to
put in an appearance, and the Times
desires to respectfully call the attention
Of this low rate of taxation to Eastern
capitalists who are taxed to death and
asks them to give it their serious consid-

There is, strictly speaking, 20 pro-

special fitness for all departments OF
charitable and religious labor. Common
sense rules that she may suit him excel
lentGy well as wife, yet be endowed
with no peculiar gifts for ''leading

by an anomalous incongruity, nsepara-
bic from the situation, the next worst
thing to absolute insignihcance in her
case is decided significance. To out
shine or outwork her lord is to demon
strate his insuficiency to fill the high
and responsible office to which he was
elected. If she be p cipher, she
detracts from his worth. He can
not, after the manner of other

What WIN Dudley Get 2

Isn't President Harrison going TO take
care Of Col Dudley? There is an impress
sion in Washington that he isn't, but it
must be wrong one 1t is alleged. how
ever, that Dudley has not vet been to see
the President, and the President does not
show any desire 10 see him. Dudley is not
| mentioned for any place. 1t is doubtful if
be could be confirmed for any Office. If his
name were sent 10 the Senate the demo-
cratic senators would Immediately ask if he
were being rewarded for bis political work
in Indiana. The "blocks OF five" letter
would become the subject of an interesting
debate-so interesting, in fact, that the
whole country would want to hear it, and
would demand that it should be conducted
with open doors.
The President doesn't want a debate of
that kind, and, hence, If he means to take
care of Dudley at all, he will try to find
perhaps place for him that he can take
without having his appointment confirmed
by the Senate There is no very important
place of that kind. 1t is probable, there
fore, that if Dudley gets any reward for
his political work it will not be such a one
as will make him feel proud.
The President in his inaugural address,
said that he should not regard party service
reason for not appointing a man to office.
He could hardly have had Dudley in mind,
however, when he wrote that part of his
address. Dudley did effective service for
his party, but it was not of kind that
those who profited by it like to have made
public If there were no scandal connected
with Dudley's political work he might
aspire to almost any Office in the gift of
the President. The objection to him per-
haps is not the kind of political work he
did, but that he did not successfully hide
his tracks. There is considerable curiosity
to see what the President will do for him.

Savannah's Need.

/ The merchants of Savannah are beginning
I to understand that to extend their trade, or
! even 10 hold what they have, they must
! have quicker communication with the ter
ri. DRY which geographically belongs tc
them. The article in the MORNING NEWS
yesterday, pointing out the danger of
losing part of their trade in South Geor-
gia and Florida, by which they are threat
ened, has impressed upon them the neces-
sity fer doing something for their own pro-
lection at once. Several Of them said yes
terday that the darger was even greater
than the MORNING NEWS had indicated,
and they agreed that it was absolutely
necessary for Savannah, il her prosperity
is to continue, to have other lines of rail-
road.
One gentleman said that he was afraid
that the Central railroad system would
never be as great a factor in Savannah's
prosperity as it had once been, because he
believed that Mr.. Jay Gould had secured a
controlling interest in it, and he did
not think it was Mr.. Gould's purpose to
help the Central system in any way. He
thought the reason Mr.. Gould sought an
interest in the Central system was to pre-
vent it, through its western extensions,
from injuring his roads, and that the effect
of his influence upon the Centrals manage
ment would be hurtful rather than helpful
to Savannah. His opinion, of course, may
be worth nothing unless 1t is based
upon reliable information, but whether
Mr.. Gould has purposes hostile
to Savannah or not, it is certain that Sa-
vannah needs more railroads Even if Mr.
Gould was as well disposed to Savannah as
it IS possible for him to he, the danger
which threatens Savannahs trade would
not be averted
The Georgia Southern and Florida rail-
road penetrates section of country that
has always been tributary to Savannah,
and the effort of that road will be to in
crease the trade of Macon. Much of that
which Macon gains Savannah will lose.
There is plenty of trade within Savan-
nahs reach, however. All that she has to
do to get it is to make the right sort of an
effort, and she has too much at stake not to
make it.
Savannah ought to build three railroads,
and she ought to begin work on them at a
very early day. They are as follows: A
railroad to Abbeville to meet the Americas
aud Montgomery railroad, that is completed
to that point; an airline railroad to Macon,
ard the railroad that has ueen projected to
Columbia, s. c. With railroads on
the lines indicated Savannahs
prosperity would be assured and
her growth would be phenomenal.
There is money enough in Savannah for
a solid basis for the building of all the rail-
roads she needs. 1t is not difficult to obtain
money nowadays to build railroad that
promises to be paying property. When a
few miles of it is constructed its credit is
sufficient to carry it forward to completion.
Let Slvanuah's business men consider care
fully this question of providing Savannah
with additional railroads, and tie chances
are that weslall have one or m pre railroad
enterprises unde. way before long

That President Harrison is not a humorist is
made very clear by that passage in his in

policy for any section Of our country" An
odder utterance has never come from an
American lawyer on a solemn occasion. He
might just as well have said. Il have declined

quested, to make poker playing disqualified

Reaction.
From Drnke,s Maonzine.

From brakes Magazine.
Though young Jones was well and hearty he
would ne'er attend party,
For he said that social pleasure made him
weary, weak and sore,
Not whit cared he for dancing, or maiden
all enhancing,
What TO others proved treasure simply was
TO him bore.
He found little consolation in the art of con-
versati0n
And all natures wondrous beauty from his
careless eyes was hid;
Music painting could not please him, and high
art would only tease him,
So, as if from sense Of duty, he became an
invalid.
But l found one great attraction that would
rouse him into action.
(He'd declare he was not sickly, such new
strength upon him came),
When with every indication that he'd reach his
destination,
He would walk mile so quickly, just to join
poker game.
