GENERAL NEWS.

.Bradstreet's says: An unusually
wide range is covered by Secretary
Morton of the department Of agri-
culture in his annual report just
submitted. Naturally enough, some
discussion is devoted, to the recent
prohibitions of American meat and
cattle by foreign governments, and
the suggestion is made that in case
the practice is continued the gov
eminent of the United States might
properly demand that all imports
from foreign countries for human
consumption, whether edibles or
beverages, should be certified by
foreign governmental authority as
wholesome and unadulterated be-
fore being permitted to be sold in
the United States. The secretary
expresses the opinion that corn and
not wheat will be hereafter the sta
pie cereal product of the United
States. Secretary Morton gives
some space to the Importance to the
American agriculturlst of "prime"
currency in return for prime" beef
and "prime" pork. The secretary
takes strong ground in favor of dis
continuing the distribution of seeds,
which now costs over Sl20,000
year. He says that it is difficult to
see how any practical statesman
can advocate an annual disburse-
ment of that amount for the pur-
pose of seed distribution. The ira.
ditions of the department have not
succeeded in making the present
secretary uninteresting. He i'm
presses one as scarcely having an
adequate field in his present post.
Considerable space is devoted by
Secretary Smith in his annual re-
port on the interior department to
the duty resting upon the United
States Of preserving law and order
in the Indian territory, where at
present state of lawlessness pre-
walls. The secretary rightly takes
the ground that if the right to en-
force the law cannot be obtained by
agreement with the. tribes the law
must be enforced as matter ofduty
without regard to- the wishes of
those who control the tribes. The
secretary does not specifically re-
commend the organization of a new
territory, but he does urge that the
courts in Arkansas and Texas be
abandoned, and that thejurisdiction
of the United States court be ex-
tended over the territory without
regard to citizenship. This, he
says, would give all opportunity for
the members of the various tribes
who feel that they are deprived of
their just quota oflands to petition
the United States courts for allot-
ments in severalty Of the portions
to which they are respectively en-
titled. By resort to such means
those Indians who wish their lands
in severalty could obtain them, and
thus gradually, at least, the holding
of lands in common would pass
away, and they would be held by
individuals. The question is one
which must be dealt with In the
very near future.

ton regarding ample supplies of
wheat throughout the world in 1894
is considered and the extreme con-
servatism, particularly Of British
wheat importers during the last
sixty days is remarked, some ex-
planation may be cleaned as to the
reluctance of wheat prices to ad-
vance sharply. That this staple
should continue for any consider
able length of time at anywhere
near the extremely low figures at
which it is quoted at present is
neither suggested or believed, but
that we are to have anything like
what was few years ago regarded
as fair price for wheat in this
country in the comparatively near
future may, in view of the forego.
ing, be regarded as doubtful.

Hon. G. B. ("Buck'') Kilgore of
Texas, in an interview with the
Republic the other day, said:
Il believe the matter of taxation
will take precedence, as an issue, in
1896, over everything else, The
solution of that important question
has never yet been found, and the
man who does discover a system
whereby the federal government
can impose taxes with absolute JUS
tice to all the people of the United
States will need no monument to
perpetuate his memory: The vari-
GUS states, by their system of adva-
loren taxation, have solved the
problem in a measure; but how to
apportion the burden of taxation
upon every man according to his
ability to bear it is something the
fed raj government has yet to
learn.
"ir. Morrison said during a
speech he made before the for ty-
ninth congress that the tulk Of
taxes paid to the federal govern
ment came from the pockets OF men
whose incomes were under $500
per year. This statement aston
ished many people at the time it
was made, but it was based on
authentic statistics and not subject
even to doubt. Every student of
this subject recognizes the fact that
the true American theory of taxa
ton is absolute uniformity, and that
the burden should be chargeable
solely to the wealth of the nation" /"
Mr.. Kilgore says further: "My
opinion Of the financial question is
that the Treasury Department of
the United States should be dis
associated from the banking inter
ests of the country. In other words
the Government should cease to be
the banker for the banks. Those
institutions now put upon the Gov
ernment the responsibility Of keep
ing in this country the amount of
gold needed in our financial system.
Suppose this burden should be
loaded on the banks?
"Do you know that l never saw
a stronger indication of faultiness in
our system of finances than the sue
cess New York broker has just had
in raising over $50,00O,000 in gold
in few days for the purpose Of
taking the late bond issue. In my
mind the success Of Mr.. Stewart is
proof positive that any man or set
of men who control enough of the
yellow metal, can force the Govern
ment to issue bonds at any time il
pleases them. This, however. could
not be done under bimetallic sys
tem."

SENATOR C0Ke'S RETIREMENT.

The announcement of ; .nator
Coke, published last evening in
The WACO EvRNlSG News aud IN
the morning papers this morning,
declining to be candidate for re-
election to the United States senate
settles positively the question of his
retirement from Office; but it )es
not follow that his interest in state
and national affairs will cease, or
that the Democratic party in this
state will lose the wisdom of his
counsel, the inf renee of his great
name, or be deprived of the per-
suasive ip 4 1ence of his clear and
convincing logic. The News
hazards nothing in saying that
Senator Coke, who ha. been so
greatly and so often honored by the
Democracy of Texas, will still be
ready, as of yore, to champion its
cause and help with all his dauntless
courage and conceded ability to
keep its banner fl Eating in triumph
over every foe.
For over quarter of century
Senator Coke has held prominent
place before the eyes of the people
of Texas and the nation. Standing
near the head of power, the light
which reveals the secrets of those in
high station has told the world his
history and presented record in
vulnerable to his enemies, the pride
Of his friends-a record so pure ia
its uprightness, so loyal in its
patriotism, so true to those who
called him to serve them, that those
who have diff ared with and distilled
him will follow him, when be re
tires from office, with their
unfeigned respect; while the hosts
which We has SO often led TO victory,
the men who have followed him,
who have hon pred him, and have
loved him, will bless the home of his
retirement with their choicest bene-
dictions.
