THE ABLE SOLONS.
SOME OF THE MEN WHO WILL.
FIGURE PROMINENTLY in
THE NEXT LEGIS-
LATURE.
The Great Financial Question That They
Will Be Called Upon to Discuss.
Some Interesting Data Con
corning the Past That
Must BE Needed.
THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.


| One most important question that 7hiS
| legislature will have up before them is
| the financial question. The present enOr.
nous deficit that is staring us in the face
| is due to the fact that the last legislature
did not pay enough attention to the comp
| trOller's estimated receipts for the two
succeeding years and consequently the
| legislative appropriation bill far exceeded
the receipts, in consequence of which.
Notwithstanding Il veto of over 100000
by Governor HOgg there necessarily re-
suited a deficiency, and this deficiency
is what the legislature will have to CON
slider when they meet next month.
The existing state of affairs is due sole
" to the reduction in the state taxes, for
had the same rate in vogue during Gov
ernOr Ross term of office been main
tanned there would have been collected
the following additional amounts from
the people each year:
1891, with tax of 1G 2-3 reduction
of ; 1-3 cents, $235.000.
1892, with tax of 10, reduction of )
cents, $350,000
1898. with a tax of 10, reduction of
of $3GJ,000.
1894, with a tax of 10, a reduction of
. cents, $3.50, 900.
Making total of $1,3O5,OOO saved to
the people of Texas by the reduction in
taxes, which, had it been collected, would
leave surplus now in the treasury.
There are those who claim that the
expenditures were eXtravagant and yet
figures secured from Chief Bookkeeper
Virgins of the cOmptroller's Office shows
to the contrary.
From matter secured from him it is
shown that during the four years ending
Aug. 81, 1894, there was received on ac-
count of state revenue SIS, 731, 76S.63, of
which $7,939,32O.5 80 was from taxes:
$3.50, 2O1.56 from Office fees of the several
state departments; $145, 0S7.1S balance
from the United States government on
indemnity fund; ST., 1913 from proceeds
of farm and other products of the state
penitentaries, and the remainder from
items. There was expend-
ed during the same period 81, Jag, 947.44

awards for agriculture has been directed
He brands the claim of this pretender us
false, declaring "Neither the records OF
this department nor the official catalogue
of the Worlds Columbian Exposition show
that this New York company was an eX-
hibitor; consequently it could not receive
an award at the Worlds Fair"
Those who have fairly won their honors
at the Fair seem disposed to treat this
fraud as any other fraud should be treat
ed The Price Baking Powder company
of Chicago, having received the highest
award, say they are convinced their
claims, and those of all other holders of
rightful honors will be indicated by the
public.

CRISPI CRITICISED.

Rome, Dec. 1G.-A royal decree pro-
rouguing the chamber of deputies was
published today in the official Gazette.
The Gazette also contains the repOrr Of
Prime Minister Crispi to King Hum
bert. Signor Crispis coup has caused
the most intense excitement throughout
the country. Sensational rumors of all
kinds are afloat. Don Chiscotte says
that the prime minister's action is the
gravest constitutional error that has been
committed since the foundation of Italian
unity.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1894-12-20

ditures over the receipts. Surprising
these extraordinary expenditures had
not been made there would now be a
very large urrlus in the state treasury
with the tax rate remaining at 10 cents,
or on the other hand had the tax rate
remained at 20 cents these expenses
could have been met and there would
still be safe surplus. In view of the
fact that this tax was not maintained,
however, we are called upon to face a
deficiency and as to how we are going
to get around it, remains for the next
legislature to decide when they meet
here next month. ".I

In the British naval estimates for the
current year it is expected that there
will be total of 1902 vessels in commits
sion in November, as against PSI at the
corresponding period of last year. The
first class battle ships will be increased
from II 10 IS. The greatest change in
any squadron will be made in the chan
mel fleet. For a long time past the adj
miralty has recognized the necessity of
strengthening this squadron, and during
the past twelve months several changes
have been made, the principal one Of
which has been the substitution of ves-
sells with high freeboard for those with
low freeboard The squadron, which
now consists of four battle ships, three
cruisers and a torpedo gunbcat, is to be
strengthened by the addition of the Re-

ships of the largest type in the world,
each having a displacement of 14,150

THE MONTEREY AT SEA.

The Monterey, on her trip from the
south, encountered a heavy blow from
the northwest and great waves that
gave the monitor an opportunity to
show her qualities in stormy weather.
Az times the forward part Of the deck
was six or seven feet under water, and
looking from the bridge or the pilot
house, water only was in sight, the
front part of the ship being covered by
the waves.
While this watery commotion caused
inconvenience and annoyance to those
who were exposed, the officers and. the
men below were having a comfortable
time. In the wardroom the motion was
so little noticeable. even during the
heaviest seas, that inkstands and glass
fruit dishes were not removed from the
polished oaken sideboard.
When the waves were at their height
the Monterey was turned into the trough
Of the sea in order to test her roll. Al
one time the roll was 2l degrees, and
the usual roll in the trough Of the heav-
lest seas was II or IS degrees. The usual
roll of a vessel in such seas is 40 de-
grees.
The great guns, Big Betsy and her
mate, were tried in the toughest wealth
er The firing test was thoroughly sat
isfactory. The guns were firmly held
without injury to any apparatus, and
the recoil was not noticeable on board

NONSENSE AND ANARCHY.

The resolutions introduced by the Pop.
ullst Senators are travesties on legisla
tion. II is humiliating to know that
we have men In this country who under
stand 80 little OF the principles Of our
government as to suppose that it Is
part Of It's duty TO furnish employment
for anybody. But It is still more humili
eting TO know that we have Senators
who, for dema gogy even, will intro
duce bill ito provide work for un-
employed persons in the District Of
Columbia
Senator PETER OF Kansas, has intro
dueed such bill into the Senate Sena.
tor Allen, OF Nebraska, the long. .wlnded
Populist who made the phenomenal
record for drawn out drivel In the silver
debate, introduced a resolution which as
serts the right Of citizens Of the United
States to assemble In the city Of Wash
ington for any and all pesoeable purposes
and to enter into the Capitol and upon
the Capitol grounds" Senator PETERS
bill was referred Senator Aliens reso.
ution was deferred.
Both will be rejected As attempts at
legislation. however, the first Of these
papers is dangerous; the second is non
sensical
The idea that national legislation must
be adopted to enable man to 20 upon
he Capitol grounds when he has bust
ness there, seems too silly TO argue
about, There is no sense In it. Anybody
who is entitled to be there, anybody who
has any right to be there. anybody who
aas any pursuit, any interests Of work ol
Of pleasure there, can go Freely, without
let or hlndrance On the other hand, Il
is not only right, but necessary, that the
officials Of Congress should have supreme
control Of the Capitol grounds. Legisla
tive business could not go on in an or
lerly manner II that were not the case
The principle Of Senator PETERS bill,
proposing to provide work for trsmps /,
aot only inimical to the genius Of oul
government, but Is one Of the most
dangerous forms Of socialism anc
anarchy.
Senator Aliens resolution is pur,
demagogy. Senator PETERS resolution
IS tantauount to anarchy
