A MANS ARGUMENT CRUSHED.

There was nothing dull about the pro-
ceedings of the woman suffrage meeting
in UniOn-square Ball yesterday. Indeed,
during the afternoon session things got so
lively that the audience congratulated itself
upon being there to take part in the excite
ment.
The days proceedings opened at 10
o'clock. Miss Hamlin, the first speaker,
thought that suffrage should only be
granted to men or women possessing
enough education TO exercise judicious
judgment. Mrs. Laura de Force Gordon
stated that at the next election the people
would be called on to vote for or against
an educational qualification, and a discus

the support of the institute, and their
efforts on this occasion proved deserving
of much praise
Flowers and choice foliage were lavishly
used in identifying the platform. while
huge flags hung from the bare walls and
draped In beautiful manner amid a pro-
fusion OF green and maritime emblems.
There were over two hundred present
when Mr.. Guthrie opened the ceremonies
with few words OF welcome to the guests

gramme was rendered, much TO the delight
of all.
Miss j. NJ. Olsoon, u. Myrtle and How

solos during the evening. evoklng much
well-deserved applause, while Miss Judd
delighted her hearers with whiSrling
solo. REGULATIONS by Fred Head and John
Mccullough awoke much interest, as did
the coster songs rendered by Mr.. Barber
of the ship Drumcliff. The Misses Pearl
and Maud Noble played comet and from

with "shanty" performance by the sea-
men.
Captain Davis of the ship Drumcliff pre-
scented Chaplain Gill with an elegant gold
watch as a token of friendship from the
members of the institute. The recipient
responded with fitting words and was
loudly appiauded.
A tempting repast was served at the con-
clusion of the concert, and it was late
hour before the gathering dispersed.

Are Often impaired and Even De-
SfrnNed hV CafarrE

Drs Copeland. VIM and Neal are daily
brought into contact with many patients suffer
Ing from impairment OF four of these senses
from catarrh.
The eyes are inflamed and liberated.
The uOstrils filled with foul scabs and dis
charging sores.
The ears liberated and affected with roaring,
buZZnG. kissing noises.
And the hearing either greatly impaired or
entirely destroyed.
From this catarrhal Inflammation The delicate
sense OF smell and taste are also ilher impaired
or entirely lost from liberation of the nasal and
Oral mucous membranes, extending even to the
throat and bronchial tubes.
The patients from their continual blowing,
hawking and splitting and emitting foul odors,
become objects of misery to themselves and
lOathing 10 their friends and associates.
How can sensible men or women be content
to become source OF disgust to themselyes
and loathing to their associates?
How can parent see child grow up with
these senses impaired or destroyed and be-
come an object of misery TO itself aud loaIh-
lng TO its comrades, when, by the proper treat
ment at the pl oper time, all this could be pre-
vented?
1t is the mission of Drs. Copeland, VIM and
Neal 10 prevent all this suffering and misery
They are treating daily hundreds of such cases
with the greatest success, and their rae OF
treatment is only S5 per month, all medicines
included.

Tor collecting, The law prescribing the
lees of collectors allows a much higher
per cent ON collections for the the state
than is allowed on collections TOR the
counties. '1e
Inc expense of assessing and collecting
me taxes should be prorated between
the state and counties in proportion TO
the interest each has in the services
rendered by the assessors and collectors.
n proper adjustment of the expense of
assessing and collecting the taxes and ap-
portionment of the same between the
state and the counties, would save to the
treasury annually from 100000 to 1925
OOOln revenue and available school fund.
;. The effect of the present law is to re-
lleve the counties by general taxation of
burden that should be borne by each
county.
In some of the older states nothing is
paid from the state treasury for assess
ing the state taXes-the counties bear the
whole expense.
Since the passage of the act of March
-, 1888, fixing the rate of fees allowed
for assessing and the basis upon which
the same shall be calculated, the expense
OF assessing state and county taxes has
increased over 100000. The following
table will show the increase snce 1883 in
eight Of the largest counties of the state:

AND COUNTY TAXES,

from the date of sale, in January follow
ing, the comptroller is required to fur
niSh to the tax collectors q list of all
such lands, and the collectors are directed
to sell the same for cash to the highest
bidder as property of the state. At the
sales of 1877 large amount of property
was bid in for the state for taxes due as
far back as 1873, and under the provisions
of the law the lands bid in for the state
and not redeemed within two years from
the date of sale, should have been sold to
the highest bidder for cash as the prop
erty of the state; but before the proper
list could be prepared by the comptroller
and transmitted to the several tax collec-
tors, an act was passed by the legiSla-
ture, March %, 1879, for the relief of
all persons whose lands had been bid off to
the state at tax sales, extending the time
one year in which they might redeem said
lands This act suspended all proceedings
to force the collection of taxes due the
state on such lands as had been sold to
the state for taxes. Similar acts have
been passed by the legislature from time
to time, so that from the adoption of the
constitution in 1876 up to this date the
state has made no effort to enforce the
collection of the taxes due on lands bid
in for the state at tax sales and not re-
deemed, but has for 16 years suspended
all summary process to enforce the pay
ment of the amount due on same.
Lands purchased for the state at tax
sale cannot be offered for sale by the tax
collectors for the taxes of any subsequent
year until the lands have been redeemed
or sold by the state as state property.
The collectors each year make Il list of
all such lands appearing on the tax rolls
in their hands, with the amount of taxes
due on the same and return the lists for
credit in their settlement with the state.
The following table shows the amount
of revenue and school taxes due the state
on lands bid in for the state at tax sales
and not redeemed, viz:
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1894-12-20
AND COUNTY TAXES

The fees paid for taking statistics are
not included in the above.
The act of 1883, fixing the compensa-
ton of assessors, provides that they shall
be paid a certain per cent on the total
values assessed, and fixes no limit to the
amount of fees they may receive-as prop
erty values have increased, the fees for
assessing have increased until in the coun-
ties of Dallas and Tarrant the cost of
assessing is largely more than double
what it was in 1893.
From three fourths to four-ffths of the
increase in expense is due to the growth
in the values of real estate and especially
to the increase in the value of city and
town lots.
The expense of collecting has likewise
increased greatly since 1898.
The following table will show the in
crease in the fees paid by the state for
collecting since 1888 in the eight coun-
ties before mentioned:

THE STATE REVENUE.
STATE REVENUE AGENT HART.
SONS ANNUAL REPORT.
A Most Interesting Document Showing
the Condition of the State Reve-
nue. Derived from Various
Sources.

State Revenue Agent 4. S. Harrison
has issued his biennial report, showing
the condition of the department during
the past two years. The report is intro
duced by a statement as to the cost of
getting the revenue into the treasury. 1t
says:
The annual expense of assessing
and collecting the taxes has not
been so prominently in view
OF the legislature as other expenses of the
government have been for the reason
tnat the law requires no appropriation
from the treasury to pay these expenses,
but directs that the fees of the tax as
SCISSORS shall be paid by the collectors of
the several counties, on the order of the
comptroller, out of the first money collect
ed for the year, and authorizes the tax
collectors to retain their commissions
out OF the taxes as they are collected, so
that the money paid out for these ex-
penses never reaches the treasury, and
IS not paid out under an Appropriation by
the legislature as other expenses of the
government are paid and hence this sub
lect has escaped that close scrutiny that
is usually given to items of expense en-
braced in a general appropriation bill.
The following table made from the
comptroller's records will show how much
is paid by the state for this branch of
the public service.
The tax rolls of 1892 which were closed
by settlements in 1893 are considered be-
cause the records for the taxes of that
year are complete.

local option, for the whole or parts of the
county, during the past year. This fact
indicates a rapid growth of public senti-
ment in favor of local prohibition.
The gross amount received from the fax
on the sale of liquor for the year ending
April 80. 1894, as shown by the settle,
ments of the tax collectors, was S66S.-
$4,000. After deducting the cost of col.
lecting, one-fourth of the tax is set apart
by the constitution as available school
fund. and the remaining three fourths,
which amounts to over 20 per cent of the
revenue receipts from all sources. is used
to pay the current expenses of the gov
eminent.
Summing up the occupation tax receipts
from all sources during the wear inst
closed, as compared with the year
previous, the result is as follows, viz:

The above table includes only the fees
paid by the state. If to that is added the
amount paid by the counties the fees
paid for collecting the state and county
taxes for the year 1892 would be approx
mately as follows:

can be no other result than a necessity,
