CHARLESTON, w. VA. February ca
The tables were neatly turned to-day
on Princes tax bill and the enemies of
the measure won victory, but the final
result is still In doubt. The bill was
passed TO its third reading yesterday
and this morning came up in regular
order for consideration.
Senator Dorsey moved to make the
bill a special order for tomorrow morn
ing at 1920 o'clock. Senator Stewart,
speaking upon the motion, said he
wanted further time to investigate the
subject, as the Governor and Governor
elect now say it will be impossible TO re-
duce taxation.
Gen. st. Clair opposed the motion.
The general appropriation bill would be
up for consideration then, and the
Prince bill could not be reached. Every
member was in mis- opinion as well pre-
pared 20 vote on the bill to-day as TO-
morrow.
Senator Whitaker regarded the mat.
ter as very important, and was opposed
to making a leap in the dark. 1t
was purely business proposition,
aud he deied contradiction Of
the facts and figures which he
presented yesterday. The State was
confronted with a clear deficit Of
S35O,GOO for the next two years.
Hs thought the Governor displayed
more manlipess in admitting that the
reduction cannot be made, than the
members who we're trying to force the
bill through, in the absence OF informa-
tion upon the subject.
The vote to postpone action until to-
morrow morning was Is to II. Those
voting aye were: Messrs. Dorsey, Earl,
Furbee, Gall, Garrison, Henderson,
Marcum, Parks, Stewart, Tarr, Whita-
ker, Worley and Mr.. President.
This vote can hardly be regarded as
test OF strength upon the final pass
age, but 1t is significant. 1t is the evil
dent purpose OF majority OF the mem
bers TO let the measure go by default.
Several are placed in embarrassing po-
sitions by having constituencies which
are divided upon the question. An
other factor which probably influenced
members to vote to postpone action Is
the threats of retaliation made by
friends of the bill.
The fight upon this measure has been
the most bitter OF the session, and IL is
not yet finished.

- Lrn1sLAruRr ANp THE LEvY.

THE LEGISLATURES AND THE LEVY.
Those members OF the Legislature
who are determined TO have the State
school levy increased TO Is cents, and
the general levy reduced TO 20 cents, In
order that there may be no increase In
taxation. are still sticking to Governor
FLEmvc's recommendation In his mes
sage % the effect, that ia view OF the
healthy condition OF the State treas
ury and the probab.e increase
IN revenue. the levy could be
reduced. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. he has recon
..dered thar recommendation. Cover
nor FLEuING expressed those views two
months ago. and before be could posi-
t.y know the extraordinary appropria-
r1rs proposed by the Legislature Tor
ire hospitals for the insane, Worlds
Fair. executive mansion, new criminal
courts. etc. Ia view Of what be now
knows he has very sensl6'y changed
bis mind and believes the the levy had
better stand as 10 is he is Joined in
This view by Goyernor-e,ect Mac Cor
ELr.
Why, then, will members ignore the
facts which couiron; them and cling TO
an exploded opinion that if put In prac-
tIce would result in serious embarrass-
meut 10 the State excheQuer? Such a
course is not ordinary business prudence,
De, alone being right and candid with
she taxpayers. II the members
deem il essentially necessary TO
make extraordinary appropriations for
the oettermenJ aud enlargement OF the
Insane asylums, the educational and
other institutions to the extent Of $685.
600 or more for the next two years and
that too without Increasing taxes for
either school or general purposes, do it
and we warrant you that your constitu-
ents will commend your course when
you return home.
The great danger lies in the possibili-
ty that you may increase the tsx-not
that il remain where it is. The general
alarm is not because you may let the
two leyies remain as they are, but that
you may increase one Of them. Avoid
this dangerous rock and the danger is
past.

is gaining strength. A number Of Sen
ators express the opinion that the House
is trying to force that body TO pass the

an extension and an extra session, the
general opinion favors the former
for the reason that pending

When Pezon, the lion.tamer, was at
Moscow with his menagerie he had
occasion to employ a moujik, a fine
specimen of a Cossack, to clean out
the cage of the wild beasts The
Cossack did not understand a word of
French, and the terms of contract were
settled in dumb show.
BY way OF instructing him in his new
duties, Pezon went through 1 sort of
pantomime with the broom, sponge
and water.bucket The moujik watched
him closely, and appeared fully to un.
derstand the details of the lesson given
Next morning, armed with a broom, a
bucket and a sponge, he opened the
first cage he came to and quietly
stepped in, as he had seen his master
step on the previous day into two cages
of harmless brutes, but this one hap
pened to be tenanted by splendid
but untamed tiger that lay stretched
out on the moor last asleep
AT the noise made 10y opening ana
closing the door the creature raised It's
head and turned It's green eyes full on
the man, whot all unconscious OF his
danger, stood IN a corner dipping his
big sponge into the bucket AT that
moment Pezon came out OF the caravan
and was struck dumb by the terrible
sight that met his gaze. What could
he do to warn the man OF his Danger
