Office,

Big Rush at the County Treasurer's
Office.
Ever since the middle of last week County
Treasurer Barden and two deputies have
been kept busy making out tax receipts and
taking in money and checks. Up to Satur-
day night about $4,000 had been received
at the Office. Some of it came by mail, but
the bulk of it was brought to the Office by
taxpayers. A good many of them got the
iden that yesterday was the last day before
the penalty of 10 per cent attaches, with tho
result that the treasurer and his assistants
were almost swamped with business and did
not finish checking up the books until 1880
last night. They expect a crowd to o-day
and will keep the office open until p. IN.
1t is the last DAY of grace The man who
has any taxes to pay and does not do it to-
day will have to pay 10 per cent of the
amount in addition as a penalty for putting
it off. Up to last night about $l50,00O in
taxes hau been collected.

A FREE FOR ALL RACE.

The spring time will soon be upon
us and, of course, the candidates will
bud out as usual. The question as to
what method the Democrats will adopt
to select their candidates is an import.
ant one, and should be discussed
freely and settled now pretty
soon. The primary election has
been growing less popular year by
year as its evils multiply, and its
frauds increase in boldness and there
is altogether too much prejudice
against conventions. AS between
the two THE News would prefer a
free for all race for county and pre-
cinct officers. THE News was oppos.
ed to the primary election in 1890 and
offered feasible plan for conven-
ton but majority of the Democrats
in McLennan county were
evidently in favor of a
primary and THE News accepted the
situation, The frauds SO palpable in
that election were spoken of at the
time by hosts of good citizens and the
majority of those spoken to about it
expressed preference for free for
all race next time. THE News re-
members the sentiment very distinctly
and desires now to call attention to
the same as the question
must be decided by the executive
committee before long. THE News
submits that that sentiment which re-
heoted the views of the most promi-
nent Democrats in the party at the
time the evils of the primary system
were apparent in all their
fsgrancy is the best evidence
of what ought to be the sen.
timent of the party at this time, when
another election is at hand. We de.
sire to be understood as being willing
to submit as we did before to the de.
cision of the executive committee
whatever that may be and only sug-
gest the free-for all race to precjpi.
tate discussion at the same time desir-
ing to be known as candidly ia favor
of that method of electing the county
and precinct ticket.

Obnoxious Postmaster.

VICKsBURG, Miss, Feb. efforts to
GUST the obnoxious negro postmaster.
James Hill of this city are about to come
to successful termination. Official GER
tificates have been prepared and will be
forwarded to Washington certifying
that Hill is not at present registered
qualified voter, and was never assessed
as such, though he has paid pell taxes
for the years 1889 and 1890. 1t
is generally believed that the Bruce and
Hill interest in the state will be
more than sufficient to defeat the con-
firmation.

THE PERFECT MEDIUM.

The Austin Statesman says: erich
ard Mansfield, the actor, has abar-
doned the bulletin boards and dead
walls as means of advertising and
confines himself to the newspapers. :"
Then follows a roasting of the bust
ness men for spending their money in
fake advertisements, after which the
Statesman adds;
here "Tis but one perfect advertis.
ing medium. and that is the home
newspaper. 1t is the one immigration
agent that can always be depended
upon, that is always at work, that
never misrepresents things, that gives
fair reflection of everyday life, of
improvements and new enterprises.
Moreover, instead of being looked at
once and then dropped and ignored,
it goes again and again, every day or
every week, the whole year round.
1t comes to be treated as a welcome
visitor. The strange names in it be-
come familiar, and it accomplishes a
work no pamphlet or foreign advertiser
colld do"

ABSOLUTE FREE TRADE

OF the TeNNs and Pacific, in Speaking of
Mexican Business Galveston should
Not Ask Railroads to Assume ANY Part

Freight Agent Hinton of the Texas and
Pacific arrived from ST. Louis Monday
and has left for Dallas. Mr..
Hinton attended the meeting of the
Southern Railway and Steamship asso-

things, Mexican rates. Mexican bust

in so far that interior lines will pay no
attention to Mobile and Tampico compe-
tition., In the matter of shrinkage, we
have made up our minds to insist upon
reasonable divisions with American
lines and will not consent to be imposed
upon any further. | look upon reel
procity and absolute free trade as almost
assured within the next few years.
With reference to Galveston securing
better port rates. etc, than New Orleans,
he said: "Our only aim is to put Gal
weston and New Orleans on parity as to
rates, and think that Galveston should
publicly assert her ability and hold her
own upon an even plane with other
ports and not ask railroads to assume
any part of her disability which she has
advertised so freely
