WE HAD TO DO 1T,

~
YOU laugh at him. Encouraged by this
notice from above, the kid keeps on
saying the same thing until you have
to crack his skull to make him stop.
The youth who plays at journalism
with the Crockett Courier, having at
tracted notice from THE GAZETTE IN
answer to its assertion that Tarrant
and other counties in West Texas get
more from the school fund than they
pay in to that fund, keeps on repeating
that assertion until THE GAZETTE
finds it necessary to thump the young
man on the skull to cure him OF his
foolishness.
Now for some figures. The comp
troller's report for 1890 shows that
Houston county, an East Texas county,
pays to the school tax fund S5345.6O
and draws from that fund $40, $50.
Tarrant county, from West Texas, pays
S26, 62435, and draws out S32, 46O.
These figures show that two represen-
tative Eastern and Western counties
draw more from this fund than they
pay in taxes to 1.-THE West Texas
county drawing 81 per cent more than
it pays, and the East Texas county
drawing 273 per cent more than 1t
pays.
But going deeper into the details OF
the comptroller's report, we learn q
great deal more than these figures
tell. The total tax paid by Tarrant
county is S72, 9S5.01, OF which S32, AGO is
returned to the school children. The
total tax of Houston county is SILL
| 784.12, and out of the state fund it gets
S19,956. Tarrant county pays S4O,-
525. OIL more tn an it receives-Houston
county receives S5171.SS more than it
pays.
The total available school fund for
1890 was So, 352, 1861, and Of this
amount the receipts from county tax
collectors were S993,573.14 The ex-
cess of 81, 35S, 623.63 came from a COM
mon fund that all the counties in the
| state are entitled to in proportion
to their scholastic population
this fund being drawn from interest on
land sales, on state bonds, county
bonds, railroad bonds, land leases,
and other common sources. AS
only about two-fifths of the entire
available fund comes from school taxes,
we can ascertain how much of the
available fund going to the counties is
drawn from actual tax receipts by
taking two-ffths of the whole fund.
In the case of Tarrant county this is
Sl2,9S4, and in the case of Houston
county it is 1892. There we have the
figures by which we are enabled to
make proper comparison OF the
amount of money paid to the
state by taxation and the amount Of
their pro rata of that apportioned tc
the counties. The comparison will
then show that Tarrant county pays
the state school fund in taxes S26, 624. B:
and gets back, from the tax receipts
S12.9S4, while Houston county pays the
school fund in taxes s5345.60, and gets
from the tax receipts 1892. Tarrant
county pays s13,640.35 more than is
returned to it, and Houston county
draws out of the tax fund Sl476. 40 more
than it pays. AS THE GAZETTE ha:
said, and as these figures prove, Yves
Texas is taxed for the benefcent pur
pose of educating the children of Eas
Texas.
, Now stop your foolishness.

Now that Director-General Davis

has plainly stated that Texas can make
any kind of collective exhibit of her
products and resources that she may
desire in her state building, and that

DENSE IGNORANCE.
eminent,

A correspondent of The GAZETTE
writing under date OF the 10Th instant
relates an incident which shows that
the sold forty acres and mule"
phantasy entertained by the freedmen
after the war, has assumed different
shape in the minds OF certain sub
treasuryites who dwell in the neighbour
hood of Bonham. A thrifty farmer
failing to dispose of a lot of surplus
bacon among his neighbors took 1t to
town and sold it to merchant. The
following day the farmer observed these
same neighbors purchasing the identl-
cal bacon they had refused to buy OF
him from the merchant at an advance
of several cents per pound above the
price at which it had been originally
offered. When asked why was this
thus. the bacon purchasers said they
were sub-treasuryites; that they bought
on credit, no doubt expecting that
before the debt fell due the government
would send money along for distribu-
ton among them and make it easy for
them to pay what they owed. 1t is
difficult to believe that such dense
ignorance can find Judgment in the
brains of white men who enjoy the price
less privilege of casting their votes; still
the correspondent who details the Incl
dent is reliable and well informed, and
his picture, even if bit overdrawn,
GOES to show how some of the sub
treasuryites are being deluded by their

THE New York Herald has advices

THE Ohio Republicans want to in
vestigate the election of Brice to the
senate. It will be q companion piece
to the investigation OF Payne's cleo
ton, two years ago, when proof was
abundant that a great deal Of money
was spent in the election, but there
was no proof that Payne had anything
to do with the spending Of it. Ohio is

The State Fair.

The Reno Journal has this to say
of the stock parade at the Fair last
Thursday:
The grand-stand was we'll filled
with ladies by IL o'clock. No better
recommendation of Nevada as a stock
State could be given than the stock
parade, which was excellent in every
respect. The handsome animals,
both cattle and horses, ca,leed much
favorable comment The animals are
all large and healthy. The success OF
the Winters stable demonstrates the
great possibilities of this State to
produce fast stock. The climate is
snch that Nevada raised animals are
less susceptible to ailments than the
California horse. Slowly but surely
the people of Nevada are beginning
to realize that they GIN successfully
compete with older States in the rails
ing Of thoroughbred cattle. The dis
play in this line does the State credit.
The parade began at II O'Clock.
All:the animals entered at the grounds
participated. 1t was thoroughly en-
joyed by everyone present. 1t was a
fine advertisement for Nevada.
