A WAY TO REDUCE TAXES.

A. intinated editorially a few days ago
The Post is anxious to see public scnti-
meut aroused In Texas cities that will de-
mand that fair and equitable compensation
be exacted for the use OF public frau
chises--such as grants TO street car com.
panies and other corporations. using the
public highways Of the city FOR private
gain.
This desire arises from two reflections
first, that such compensation is just and
proper. and. secondly. because such a large
sum could be realized as to cut down the
rates OF taxation by one-half In any city
like Houston, or Galveston, or Dallas, or
San Antonio. Comptroller Myers of New
York declared recently that II the city's
franchises were properly utilized New York
could absolutely be run without taxation.
Mr.. Parsons Of Boston. in presenting a pc
titon to the Boston council against the
granting of monopoles. or Of any use Of
franchises without full compensation. said:
New York has adopted the policy Of
selling. her franchises at puzzle auction
instead of giving them away for nothing
or for merely nominal consideration. az
che formerly did. In the New York an
chise was sold for s25oooO cash down and
a promise to pay ilis per cen, of the gross
earnings each year for the first five years,
and i3is per cent each year thereafter As
the company expect TO make n good profit
on a very expensive road and are willing
to give nearly half the receipts on 5-cent
fare. II Is clear hey do not think che cost
OF operation Will run above cents at the
most
That is but one road out OF many in the
metropolis, with no monopoly. for ex-
ample, like one OF our Texas street railway
companies enjoys and for whlcn---it hauls
city officials free. The cry is heard that
the companies are making no money.
Others will be glad enough to take their |
chances off their hands and pay for them. |
The trouble is that our companies have
been grossly uvercapitalized and are try |
ing to pay dividends on this watered cap |
l,alization-not one OF them but Is pay |
Ing immense profits on their assessed value
in the city. The street railways are re-
Terrcd to merely in illustration. The same
remarks apply to the use generally OF pub
lie franchises. Why should the people
continue to pay heavy, burdcnsome taxes
md give away the use OF their streets
which ought to bring In immense sums and
1ay half the expense Of city goycrnmen

This is a matter the taxpayers Of Texas
titles must begin to think seriously about

BERLIN, Sept. 12 copyrighted, 1850

The most startling instance was on Mon
day when Emperor Williams telegram
recalled the German fleet of fifty-four ves-
sells from the North sea maneuvers and di-
rected the ships to proceed forthwith to
Kiel and parade before the czar Besides
such a shower of all sorts of official deco
rations as was granted by the emperor to
the Russian visitors, was heretofore un-
known. These covered in their announce
ment almost page of the Reschsanzeiger.
All the newspapers take special excep-
tion to Emperor Williams speech in which
he characterized the Russian army as the
most powerful, and also complain of the
fact that the czar replied to the emperor
in French. when it is well known that his
Russian majesty speaks German fluently.
So far the cars tour seems to have been
frtile of misunderstandings, jealousies and
reticence and has caused great satisfac-
ton.
The newspapers of Vienna are still dis
cussing whether the Russo-German re-
union can be considered a success or not.
They think Emperor William humbed
himself unnecessarily before the Russian
autocrat. and some of them regard the
visit of the czar to Vienna and Berlin as
an effort to put an end to his isolation, due
to the Franco-Russian alliance.
The nervous twitching of the face of
the car was noted both at Breslau and
Kiel, and it is said in court circles that
it is partly due to a nervous affection
which recently declared itself, and partly
TO feeling of insecurity created by the
noticeable and extraordinary precautions

government.

Roach, missing dry goods salesman

to interrupt his own funeral services and
to prevent the interment of a corpse
that had been identified by score of
former associates as his. The body had
been picked up on the ocean beach early

respondent and given to drink, his eX-

called at the morgue readily identified
it as his body, and made arrangements
for its decent burial. While the cor

Roach telephoned from the city and
county hospital to the coroner's office
to the effect that he had. just read in
the papers an account of his death, and
that some one had made mistake. The
funeral was promptly stopped and the
body taken back to the morgue, where
it now awaits identification. The dead
man is said to closely resemble Roach

A Carson Bank Clerk Charged With Heavy
EmbeZzlements

CARSON, New, Sept 12.-The grand
jury today reported to Judge Mack five
indictments against Harry Brown, the
absconding Bullion Exchange bank
clerk. These five indictments charge
Brown with embezzlement by three
methods. First, it is charged that he
paid creditors in San Francisco by
check, issuing the same for several hun
dred dollars, while on the stub they ap
peared as $4 and other small amounts.
Also that he made collections on the
state in the name of the bank for other
parties and pocketed the money. And,
lastly, that he took cash from the bank.
The total amounts to $66, 200. The judge
at once issued bench warrant, which
was placed in the hands of the sheriff.
Browns whereabouts are unknown.

In conclusion Mr. Bryan urged his
hearers to consider and study care
fully the issues involved, and to vote
to protect their own interests and the
interests of their country.
Mr.. Bryan will not go to Salem, ILL.,,
tomorrow. as was expected. He will
spend Sunday in ST. Louis, and in the
morning will attend the Grand-avenue
Presbyterian church, in company with
John I. Martin. Sunday afternoon will
be spent by Mr.. Bryan resting, prepara-
tory to his hard days work Monday.
Among the 1900 people crowded about
the rear end of the train at Salisbury
Mr.. Bryan discovered two of the light
fingered gentry who had followed the
party through the east. Mr.. Bryan had
1ust started his speech when he stopped
suddenly and, pointing to two men
crowding through the masses of people,
exclaimed: Hold on; there are two
pickpockets operating down there"
Just then the train pulled out and the
enthusiastic people, more intent on
shaking the hand of the Nebraska
ytatesman than in attending to the
worldly goods on their persons, fol-
lowed the car, leaving the operators
alone.
The pickpockets were not left behind
at Salisbury, and started in boldly to
work the 500 people who gathered about
the train when the next stop was made
at Huntsville. Mr.. Bryan saw them
and pointed them out to a number of his
party. and, as result, they were soon
In the custody Of the village marshal.
Mr.. Bryan spoke at numerous places
along the line. At ST. Louis $1,000 peo-
pie gathered at the depot and cheered
wildly as the candidate proceeded to
his hotel.
While Mr Bryan was addressing the
meeting at Sportsman's park tonight
the platform upon which he stood gave
way. and he, together with dozen dis
tinguished citizens who occupied seats
thereon, were precipitated to the
ground. Fortunately no one was hurt
For time 1t looked as if panic would
result. There were fully 10000 people
present and the commotion was fright
full. Quiet was restored in a few mo-
ments and Bryan spoke from the judges
stand.
Mr.. Bryan's address was very brief,
as he was much fatigued by constant
speaking throughout the day, and he
said little more than to express his graf
itication that so many people were CIV
ing evidence of their lively intrest in
the campaign.
In the great audience at the Auditori-
um, where the Republican national con-
vention was held, Bryan was greeted
by over $4,000 people. The aisles were
packed, and thousands were turned
away.
1t was an enthusiastic audience, and
the nominee, during his short speech,
was frequently interrupted by tremen-
dous applause.
