WANTS CHURCHES TAXED.
A Business Man Gives His Views n,
the Question,

the Question.
"There is question that is now
being agltated in New York city
and 1t is one that is attracting con-
siderable attention from all parts
OF the United States" said a practi-
cal business man to a reporter for
the LIGHT yesterday. "The ques-
ton is: Shall churches and schools
be exempt from taxation% l be-
lieve the way matters are being
conducted now is an imposition
upon taxpayers. | am not op-
posed to churches or ANYTHING
in that line, but / do be-
lieve that churches ought to be
placed upon the tax list Just as
well as any other property. San
Antonio has some fine property
that is being occupied as churches,
from which the city derives not
one cents worth Of benefit. This
property is protected and taken
care of by the city and is not taxed.
How many poor people are there in
this city that own a little property
and would be glad to pay tax, but
are unable. They are, however,
compelled to come to the
scratch and hustle up the
necessary taxes, while church
buildings costing from $4,000 up
wards are allowed to stand with
out paying a cents worth of tax. N
church has its pews. and those &C.
cupying them must pay for same,
or else they will be intruding up
on the chnrch's property. L believe
if a religious denomination is
wealthy enough to erect a $4,000
church, they ought to be made to
pay taxes for their building. l
would like to see this question
taken up in San Antonio and dis
GUESSED. It's worthy one"

A Discovery in Perfumes.

From the Baltimore Gazette.
The odoriferous principle of the
essence Of roses, called by chemists
rhodinol, has been found also in
other flowers by the French chem
lists, Bonnet and Barber, notably
in the essential oil of the pelOgon-
ium, where it is quite disguised,
by mixture with other substances.
This result is important, as rhodi-
mol, hitherto a rare aud expensive
substance, can now be prepared
easily in comparatively large
quantities.

VICTORY IN SIGHT,

From all accounts, telegraphic
and otherwise, to-day's session in
the National Congress, will prove
one of the most memorable in the
history of that body, during the
past decade Of it's existence, The
struggle, which promises to be
crowned with a full measure of
Democratic victory today, has been
a lasting and bitterly contested
one, at every point, 1t has, indeed,
been a hard fight, butit is now well
nigh over, and, if the whole legisla-
tive theory is not at fault, before
another sun shall rise, the bright
plumaged bird of victory, will have
perched upon the banner of Democ-
racy and two of the greatest legis-
lative reforms Of the age, will have
been accomplished, those of 'Tar-
if Reform and an Income
Tax" At last accounts, yesterday,
the outlook for the passage of both
measures, today, was more than
favorable. Indeed there has never
been a moment of doubt in the
minds of Chairman Wilson and the
democrats who have been associat'
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1894-02-01

ed with him in leading this fight as
to final success, and the number of
doubters has been gradually lessen
ing since the Democratic caucus Of
last week endorsed the proposition
to make the the income. tax an
amendment to the Wilson Bill.
There are some hard fighters among
the Democrats who have refused to
be bound by the action of the eau
Gus and the opening of the debate
on the Income tax amendment
shows a bitter state of feeling,
which will probably result in lessen
ing the majority by which the Will
son bill will be passed by about
twenty votes, but the object long
sought for will be obtained; it will
be passed.

Its excellence is due to its presenting

beneficial properties of perfect lax

JURY CAN'T AGREE,
Fate Of the Third 0lyphant Train Rob
Der Hangs in the Balance.

The trial of Albert Mansker, one
of the four Olyphant train robbers,
and the third of that number to
face the outraged laws of his coun-
try, at the bar of justice, was re-
sumed in the Circuit court at New
port, Ark, yesterday morning, The
story of the robbery, as known by
Engineer Hewitt, Fireman Quarles
and Baggageman Chittam, was told
by them for the third time on the
witness stand 1t was precisely the
same as that told in the cases of
Brady and Wyrick.
DR. John B. Bond, of Little Rock,
testified that, when McNaly was
shot, that he must have leaned for
ward as the bullet ranged downward
and that the orifice of the exit was
about two inches lower than the or
ifce of entry His evidence had a
visible effect upon the jury, Super
intendent John E. Rose, testified
next, and as he came upon the stand
was recognized by Mansker, who
nodded his head to him Mr., Rose
first met Mansker at Newport and
afterwards in the Penitentiary, -
Mansker complained of being sick
while in the Penitentiary, and he
(Rose) interceded for him to get him
in the prison hospital. Manskel
told him that he did not shoot to kill
anybody, and stated Furthermore
that from the places where he was
during the robbery, it was impossi-
BILE for him to have shot McNally.
He stated further that after the
arrest of Brady and Padgett near
jamestown, the Sunday morning
that the others abandoned their
horses, that all the uncaptured men
save himself resolved to resist ar
rest and fight it out
He did not agree with them, and
left them at the forks of the Clarks-
vile and another road, and went up
through Searcy County, where de-
tective Charles Copeland arrested
him.
The jury in the case of Albert
Mansker having failed to agree on a
verdict at $50, having then had the
case four hours, the judge called
them into the court and took the
case from them until this morning,
He swore in three special deputies
to guard them until the hour for
convening court today.
