TAXATION IN THE SOUTH.

In answer to some charges that the State
Administration over In Georgia. or the
democratic party. was running the State
government at "A burdcnsomc cost to the
people Governor Atkinson has furnished
an interesting table of figures relating to
taxation In the Southern States that viii
be read with interest elsewhere than In
Georgia.
The comparison Is made with the ordi-
nary or regular taxes, excluding the spe-
cial taxes FOR public schools and pensions
granted by the State. The table furnished
by tho Georgia governor is as follows. and
includes all the Southern States proper:
Rats In cents per 500
mississippi. .......d5 West Virginia....so
Louisiana. .........i7,s south Carolina. 40
kcntncky.......S Florida ...,.,".. .3IiA
Tennessee. ........30 North Carolina. .2i 20
Alabama. .....,.....bO Georgia ,..,....,. b1a
virginia. ....,...,.,Sp
This is a remarkable showing for Geor-
Ella, and is but little less complimentary
to Texas. When the aggregate burden for
schools and general purposes is considered.
the taxes In Texas are lighter Than those
In Georgia, by reason OF tho fnct that our
splendid school fund lessons the necessity
for large collections for EDUCATIONAL nc
count. But Texas has nearly iye times
tho area of Georgia for which courts and
police protection must be furnished and
without any proportional compensation
through taxation, owing to the low values
Of tho lands and sparae population In fully
third Of the State, A larger State gov
eminent, In wcrd, is required IN Texas.
and innumernble items OF expense are nee
essary that do not burden the Georgians
Compared with any other OF the South
crn States than Georgia the tax burden In
Texas is suildngly light and compliment
tary 10 the good management OF public af-
fairs by the admirable democratic admins
trations which this State has enjoyed for
years past. There are not more than
half dozen States in tho Union that show
lower taxation than here, Notwithstanding
our many items Of necessary expense that
exist nowhere else in the United States
Certainly the people could expect no bet
ter record than this--uor do they seem dis
posed TO. For the amount OF government
and the character of government we eet In
Texas thoro can be no just complaint ON
tho ground of cost, Those who are eager
to sympathize With over-burdoued and tax
ridden communities can transfer their in
terest to Mississippi. or Alabama or Louis

slors, stamp taxes, including postage and telc.
grsoh. and their lotteries II is doubtful u
the world presents similar example OF auch
thorough and burdcDsome taxation TO that
under when Cuba has been placed.
Think OF Texas being taxed to the extent
of $4,000, 900 year to maintain Federal o.
flee holders and receiving not tenth OF
the sum for internal improvements. And
yet we have six times the area and now,
possibly, three times the population OF
Cuba. Either every man who could get
away would leave the State or there would
be revolution here In spite OF the numbers
against us!
The Commercial Appeals correspondent
continues:
Throughout the system OF government which
waa imposed upon the Island and tho VAST
majority of It's inhabitants were incqnity,
suppression OF the popular viii. an utter an.
soiicc OF democracy that was sure to breed
iiisurfcction, 10 sure as any apprecianic mum
Der OF the oppressed should become sufficient
ly intelligent to appreciate the Injustice and
courageous enough to nnugurato struggle.
Not only have the Spaniards conducted
since the beginning Of the revolution the
most barbarous and cold blooded war IN
modern times, but their treatment of the
island before the instruction, as VIII be
seen, was the most extortionatc, the rotten
est and the most Inefficient government
under which any civilized people We're liv-
ing No roads, no sanitation no justice in
the courts, no representation except the
fantnst shadow of minority representa-
tion, no police protection against the dom
nant robbers, none OF the ordinary benefits
of governmont-but taxation and oppression
everywhere!
The Cubans were justified by all laws of
and right and justice in rebeling
against Spain, and they have since been en-
titled TO the fullest sympathy and recogni-
ton OF the civilized world.

CARTAS CORTAS

Capital, Nbre. 15 de 1898.
Hemos tenido crisis ministerial:
la pri nera que ocurre en- Puerto
Rico.
Aquella carta de don Julian
era, naturalmente, precursors de
una dimisi6n inevitable. Ell Ge-
neral Brooke, despues de estudiar
ell problema, acepto la renuncia.
Y, s las diez de Ia manana, en-
que escribo, acaso Sc firme ell nom
bramiento del doctor Coll y Tos-
te para la Secretarfa de Hacienda.
En- cast todos los cfrculos, y So
bre todos en- los americanos, sc
juzga NAL la conducta de don ,Ju-
liam Blanco. La question tiene
dos terminus, de los cuales no Sc
puede salir.
-Si don Julian Blanco, segun
dice, escribio una carta fntima,
sin Ell proposito de que Sc publica-
Sc; 81 en- esa carta conspir6 con-
ira sus companeros del Gabinete,
reyelo asuntos reservados e inten-
to desprestigiar al Gobierno mis-
mo d que pertenecfa. mientras en-
frente l'amaba sus amigos d Mu-
noz, q Hernandez y & Carboneil :
Sc mostraba con ellos cordial y
afectuoso, don Julian Blanco es
REQ de una accion que no califco,
pero que los buenos cabaileros Ca
liicaran sin duda alguna.
-Si ell senior Blanco escribio
su carta-y no 10 creo-con ell de
SEQ de que viesc la luz, y de que
produjese un escandalo, y de que
trajese Ell descredito de sus cole
gas, Ell seIlor Blanco correspondio
de un modo infcuo . la confianza
de Munoz Rivera, que lie llevo al
Consejo y que lie ofrecio un puesto
al lado suyo, reivindicando la in.
justlcia que con el cometieron sus
amigos al relegarle, sin recordar
su historic, 4 una Subsecretarfa,
cuya dignidad no corresponds la
figura del sefor BIanco.
Entire la tacha de ingrato y la
otra tacha, que es mas grave, ell
senior Blanco parece preferir la
Ultima.
No 10 cnvidio.
Y no lie envidian tampoco los
que juzgan frfamente su proceder
y proclaman la correction exqui-
sta del senor Munoz Rivera, en-
tanto que no sc atreven i hablar
de la correction, menos que dudo-
sa, del senor Blanco.
La crisis quedo resuelta anoche.
Ell General Brooke, en- uso de
su poder supreme, y despues de
meditar I'M dfa y una noche con
sagacidad profunda y con sereni-
dad completa, prescinde del seilor
Blanco y ratifica su confanza d
Munoz Rivera.
Y Ell General Brooke no es un
fanatico; no es IN apasionado.
Els un testigo de cuanto ocurre;
de las miscrias que SO agitan; de
las turbulencias que Sc yerguen;
testigo impartial, mas alto que
los luchadores del pals; sin uin-
gun interes en- la contienda; sin
otra mira que la de servir bien 1
la gran patria que lie envio i esta
isla y al pats, que taEto espera de
su rectitud y de su talento.
Pasaran las discordias presentes;
vendran los tiempos en- que Sc
restabiezca la paz, Y la tigura del
General Brook, por encima de los
