THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

Governor Hogg, of Texas, a few days
ago returned to the legislature bill that
had been passed and sent to him for APP
proval, accompanying the bill with a
veto message that viii very likely bring
him considerable notoriety. The bill
was an act authorizing the superinten-
dent of the state penitentiary farms to
receive from the general government the
bounty granted by congress on sugar, a
considerable quantity of that article
having been produced by the state on its
convict farms. The governor bases his
constitutional grounds. The following
extract from the governors message will
give the reader the main points of his
objection to the measure and what il
proposed to do:
The law under which this bounty is
offered by the United States is entitled:
An act TO reduce the revenues and equalize
duties on imports, and for other purposes
by Ii the producer Is required to apply for
and procure license from and give bond
to the commissioner of internal revenue.
conditioned for the faithful observance of
all rules and regulations that shall be pre-
scrlbed by the commissioner for the manu-
facture and production of sugar Besides
being empowered to make rules and regu-
lations governing that industry, the COM
missioner is required to exercise super
vision and inspection of the manufacture
of sugar, While to my mind the act Is
clearly unconstitutional and without re-
ference to organic law is void. and would
be so held by any circumspect court. as
congress has seen fit to pass it. | should
base my action herein on other grounds
The state is sovereign OF her own affairs
and cannot be disturbed in the legitimate
exercise OF her prerogatives. If she desires
10 raise sugar by convict labor, under no
circumstances could she with propviety
ask or accept from any government a
license TO do so, nor could she yield TO
supervision of her, affairs by any officer
not subordinate TO her own laws. TODD
so IN one instance would lead to another
and finally to supervision By the federal
government over the cotton patches
wheat fields, stock ranches. lumber yards
and factories within her limit. Preced-
ents by government usurpauion become
stronger than law-the worse they are
the more difficult 10 overthrow. When
they are erected on the destrue-
ZION OF the constitution, like this
bounty act, the wrong which produced
them strengthens as the fruits of the
crime spread, until fastened forever on
the people. There can be no more reason |
10 support bounty on sugar than on the |
cotton, grain tobacco or stock Two cents |
a pound offered by the government is but |
the beginning. 1t is only q precedent |
Let IL stand and there must be premium |
on every article produced within the /
nlted States. With the premium goes /

SHUFFLING SHABBINESS.

The Kansas City Journal in a column
and a half article, Monday, attempts to
| explain that the commercial convention,
called by the Kansas legislature for
| Kansas City, Missouri, is not in opposi-
! ton to the commercial congress organ
lied two or three years ago, the next
meeting of which was fixed for Denver,
and which Denver meeting was an
nounced previous to any movement
made for the Kansas City convention,
by the said legislature. The Journal is
wasting its wind SO far as the EAGLE,
Trans-Missouri committees know that
the conventions, the objects of which
are the same, are not only antagonistic,
but that Kansas City failing to dominate
the agencies of the already organized
movement went Systematically to work
to undermine any good that such organ
ization might aim to do by distracting
the elements and interests back of it,
No explanation will do away with the
fact that the one congress was recognized

movement and that the other was
called in the face of and in spite
of that fact, the time of converting
made previous to the other call, and the
place of meeting for city that failed to
get the other congress not only, but for a
city whose manipulators very plainly
understand would never be able to con-
troll the original congress. The Missouri
town with its big drunk will probably
win, so far as destroying the chances for
good by the Denver congress, for the
simple reason Kansas City used the Kan
sas Legislature to give their counterpart
force and character with other states,
but it was and is none the less con-
temptible and on a par with the meth
DDS by which the people of that Missouri
town have always dominated every leg |
stature and commercial interest of Kan
sas. Wichita and Omaha both were to |
have meetings of the old organization be-
fore Kansas City could have a chance,
which accounts for all the milk in the |
cocoanut. Ii any one doubts, which no.
body does, let them read the following
squib from the same number of
the Journal alluded to:
Denver is to have commercial con-
yress few weeks after the one held in

Denver congress to surpass the one held

license, and coupled onto the license fol
lows federal supervision. So will end the
last vestige of state sovereignty.
1t will be remembered that when the
sugar schedule in the tariff bill was
under consideration by congress, the
bounty feature was earnestly opposed by
many Of the members, among them
Hon. S. r. Peters, upon the same
grounds, in part, as are set up by the
governor of Texas. Another objection
able feature of the bounty act that was
presented by the EAGLE at the time
the subject was under discussion,
is that it viii tend to discour-
age the sugar industry rather
than encourage it, by reason of the in
definiteness Of the provision as to how
long the bounty shall continue. Its con-
tinuance will necessarily depend upon
the temper and sentiment of each sue
ceeding congress that shall be called
upon to make the necessary appropria-
ton of money to pay the bounty, a
point that will undoubtedly be raised by
the next congress when it finds an insult
ficiency of revenues to meet the in
creased and increasing expenses of the
government.
In view of these last conditions re-
ferred to, it is clear that the sugar in
dustry in this country must rely for de-
velopment upon its own merits as profit
returning undertaking, rather than upon
any system Of bounties that may be
adopted.

THE REFUNDING ACT.

| The refunding act, passed by the Fifty
first. congress and approved by President
Harrison, makes it the duty of the secre-
tary of the treasury to credit to each
state and territory and the District of
Columbia sum equal to all collections
from snch state, territory and the Dis
| trict of Columbia, and from its citizens
| direct tax of 1861. 1t also RENTS and
relinquishes all claims for any unpaid
portion of the tax, and appropriates such
sum as may be necessary to pay the
amounts credited. These amounts the
treasurer is directed to pay. But no pay
ment is to be made to any state or terri
tory until its legislature shall have ac-
cepted the sum credited to it, assumed
the trusts imposed by the refunding act,
and authorized its governor to receive
the money in full satisfaction of all
claims relating to the subject.
States and territories which paid their
quotas out of the public treasury are re-
imbursed without condition. But where
any part of the refunded tax was col
lected by the United States from indi-
viduals, it must be held in trust by the
state, territory, or District of Columbia,
for the benefit of those individuals or
their legal representatives; and none of
the money is to be paid by the state.
territory, or district, to any attorney or
agent for services rendered upon any
prior contract. These are the trusts re-
quired to be assumed.
Individual claims against any state or
territory or the district, for a share of
the refunded tax, must be made within
six years from the passage of the act. If
delayed beyond that time, the whole
fund then remaining in the custody of
the state, territory, or district, vests in it
as public property; and all private rights
are outlawed.
