use thoroughly investigated. and finding
substantial economy in taking water
and light from the city, have made II
contract by which the institution is t.
be furnished with water and light for all
purposes at an annual cost of $4,000.
This contract was made, as stated, after
obtaining the estimates of competent en-
gineers of the cost of operating the
pumps and dynamos formerly in use, and
was made for one year, with the privi-
lege of continuing the contract for three
additional years if found satisfactory to
the State. pal
"As the institution is maintained for
the use of all races of people without dis
elimination, | have thought it advisable
to employ colored attendants for the col
0red wards, and thus far am satisfied
with the experiment 1t is needless to
say that in pursuing this course | am
not moved by sentiment, but considering
some of the disagreeabe features of the
work that attendants have to perform,
have thought that perhaps it would be
better to have colored attendants work
among the people of their own race, hop
ing thereby to improve the service and
benefit the patients, and being moved
by this consideration alone"

here is that the bond issue only awaits
the sanction of President Cleveland to be

been made at the Bank of England rela-
tive to the price at which eagles can be

THAT MAKES Personal PROP

BUT AN OLD ONE.
LETTER FROM COMPTROLLER FINLEY
Which the Taxes Are to be Collected
and by Which Tax Collectors
Are Governed.

troller Finley in reply to an inquiry made
by citizen of the State, is self-explana.
tory, and is given to the public in order
to explain that it is an old and not new
law which makes personal property liza
BILE for all taxes.
Comptroller's Office, Austin, Tex.
Dear Sir-Your favor of the - in.
slant, together with the following clip.
ping presumably from your county pa,
per- is before me.
"Tax Collector has shown us a
letter from Comptroller Finley concern
ing the collection of taxes. The new law
provides as follows:
"If any person shall fail or refuse to pay
the taxes imposed upon him or his prop
| erty by law, until the first day of January
next succeeding the return of the assess
ment roll of the county to the comptrol-
Ter, the collector of taxes shall, by virtue
of his tax roll, seize and levy upon and
sell so much personal property belonging
to such person as may be sufficient to
pay his taxes, together with all costs ac-
cruing thereon.
In view of this change in the law it
would be well for taxpayers to settle up
before the first day of January, and thus
save trouble and expense"
In reply | desire to direct your atten-
ton to the fact that the law referred to
is by no means n new one. The act in
question relative to the duty of tax col
lectors to levy upon and sell personal
property for the payment of taxes was
enacted by the Twentieth Legislature,
and approved April =, 1887. (See page
1913, Art. ALAG, laws of 1881 This en-
actment in 1887 was but an amendment
of article 4746, of the Revised Statutes
adopted in 1879, which reads as follows:
IF any person shall fail or refuse to
pay the taxes imposed upon him or upon
his property by law, until the first day
of March next succeeding the return of
the assessment roll of the county to the
comptroller the collector of taxes SHALL
by virtue of his tax roll, seize and levy
upon and sell so much personal property
belonging to such person, whether resi-
dent or nonresident, as may be sufficient
to pay his taxes, together with all costs
accruing thereon"
| beg to state further, that by refer
ence to section Is of article 8, of the
constitution of Texas, adopted in 1876,
il will be observed it is therein expressly
provided that "all property, both real
and personal, belonging to any delinquent
tnxpayer shall be liable to seizure and
sale for the payment of all taxes due by
such DELINQUENT and such property may be
sold for the payment of the taxes and pen
allies due by such delinouent under such
regulations as the legislature may pro-
vide"

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Wheat-Bid the old
year good bye with its bull hat cooked ON
the side of its head and its nose in the
air in dcrision at the discounted bears.
1t closed with gain of 3-Sc after an
early decline of 1-2c.
Corn and oats did not change their
value materially for future deliveries, but
the cash stuff was weaker.
Provisions sold off on increased re-
ceipts of hogs.
Wheat was unsettled, showing weak
ness early i'll the session and selling off
lie, but made sharp reaction later and
went up Use from the low point, but
eased off some. The only weak factor
early was the Liverpool cable, which
quoted the market as opening higher, but
losing all the Improvement. But trade
was dull, the final outlook unsatisfactory
with money said to be growing more diff
hcult to borrow and interest rates hard
ening and as tomorrow will be holiday
the longs, in view of the nervous I'M
certainty attending the market, began
TO llquldate and even up, which was an
important factor in bringing about the
early decline. Later strong factor was
found in the big clearances from New
York, nearly G0O,000 bushels and then
the shorts got nervous and began to buy,
not being willing to stand short over the
holiday, when there was so much that
was bullish in the air.
New York sent heavy buying orders
and all domestic markets were on the up
grade. The business in the speculative
department Of the corn trade was dull,
but prices were held steady by the firm
ness of wheat. The cash branch of the
business was heavy and depressed by the
anticipated effect of the adherence to
tariff rates which the railroads are ex-
pected to observe from the beginning of
the new year.
Oats-The trading in futures was
moderate only and mainly in the way of
evening up trades previous to the holiday.
Provisions, which advanced Yesterday
because of the days run of hogs being
smaller than expected, declined today be,
cause of being disappointment of totally
different character, the run of hogs re-
ported from the yards this morning be-
ing 2I,OOO head instead of 10000 as ey-
pected. Trade was of the recent moder-
ate volume and without especial signif-
canoe. Estimated cars for tomorrow.
