TIE BACK TAX QUESTION.

There seems to be practically unanl-
nous sentiment in the city that statute
OF limitations should be made TO apply 10
the collection Of the city taxes. The point
OF disagreement Is whether under OK
listing conditions IN Houston retroactive
statute should be passed.
II must be admitted that It looks like
an unjust discrimination in view of the
facts TO relieve from their back tax debts
portion OF the citizenship while another
portion have already been made TO pay
these old claims, or have judgments pend.
Ing against them for such taxes. But ii
must BIO remembered at the same time
that this apparent discrimination is the
misfortune of the one portion without being
the fault Of the other. Such seeming in
justice always exists and In nearly all the
affairs OF life.
The one great point to consider IA this:
Us IT possible TO prevent the inposition Of
this serious back tax burden except by a
retroactive clause in the provision for a
statute OF limitations? 1t Is admitted with
practical unanimity that the collection OF
these old tax claims, some OF them twenty
years overdue, Is a particularly heavy
burden Just AZ this time and In the man.

tho relief Is not made retroactive the real
cause q complaint is Of course not reached

Friends Well Met.

When true-hearted men in north and
south met and understood each other,
there was never real enmity between
them. A certain Virginian lived near
the field of Mechanicsville, where Nc
Clellan fought one of his severe battles
in the summer of 1862. This man went
out to the field, after the northern
troops had retired from it, and noticed
little fellow lying, wounded, in the
hot sun. AS he looked pityingly at
the boy, the young fellow gained cour-
age to make request: ''Neighbor,
won't you get me drink of water?
I'm very thirsty" "Of course, WILL"
said the man, and he brought the
water. The little fellow was encour-
aged by this, and he asked again:
Wont you get me taken to the hos
pital? I'm badly wounded" well,
now, my boy" said the man, IF I get
you taken care Of, and you are we'll
enough to go home again, are you COM
ing down here to fight me and my folks
once more? How about that?" 1t was
a hard test for a wounded prisoner, but
the boy stood it. He looked his captor
firmly in the eye, and said: "That 1
would my friend" 81 tell you," said
the Virginian afterward, ri liked his
pluck 1 had that boy taken to the
hospital and he had good care"
