So far as heard from there will
not be a dozen delegates in that
Illinois convention who will OPP
pose the most extreme coinage
views. This is so we'll understood
that all delegates holding other
views have refused to attend and
declined to act as representatives
to that convention. The declara-
tions Of such a body give no indt-
cation of the silver sentiment in
the state, but it does show how
many free silver delegates can be
convened in one gathering. When
an assembly Of equally representa-
tive anti-free silverites is convened
then a comparison ftheir strength
can be instituted. This gathering
shows how many free silver people
in Illinois are willing to attend a
convention.

FRIDAY, NAY II, 1895

There is as much monkey bust
ness and to the full as much un-
certainty over the occupation tax
construction as there is over that
of income tax. The present con-
troller is more liberal in the con-
construction of the law in the case
irregular merchants than his pre-
decessors were, but the upshot Of
the whole business is that each
individual collector puts his own
construction on the law and levies
accordingly. There is no uniform
ity, and consequently no justice in
the levies. II some construction
could be put upon the whole bust
ness that would explain it out Of
existence it would be a good thing
for Texas. Let the business man
pursue his business unveXed by
such an obsolete levy upon his
calling and raise the revenues an
other way. Let the tax be upon
the values carried, be it in
merchandise, stocks, lands or what
not, but let the trade or occupation
go free. Taxing a mans occupa-
is remnant of the dark ages and
should be abolished in this CEN
fury.

China is truly suffering for her
sins. No sooner are the Japs with
drawn from her territory than the
Salvation Army prepares to invade
the sacred soil and plant the
standard Of their peculiar propa-
ganda upon the old broken down
wall Of Chinese eXclusiveness. If
the Salvationists with their drums
aud music and singing and noise
and flaming uniforms do not catch
on in that country the mission
aries may as well give it up as a
bad Job and turn their attention to
the hungry and half clothed heath
en- that swarm in every city on this
continent. There is more outcome
to this home missionary work in
one week than there will be to the
other in century.

A circus draws in San Antonio,
and the name of "Charity" tackled

The modiste who watched the
styles on the street yesterday must
have received a new inspiration,
several Of them.
The "little people" in the Charity
Circus parade were the sweetest
thing about it, and there was moth

Because the agitation over good
roads is little quiet Just now it
must not be supposed that the
highways of Texas are all that is
required in the interest of the
farmers. That agitation should
continue until every county in the
state had a good solid road travers.

could get to market at all seasons
Of the year. Such roads would be
worth thousands every week to the
farmers who seek the county town

is no reason under the canopy why
the more populous counties should
not construct such roads with the
work of the short time convicts
The agitation has begun for this
condition and is continually
