A Great Literary Treat Last
Night.

Perhaps no entertainment ever
given in Bryan afforded the audi

perienced by those who were at
the opera house last night, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Labadie presented
IAN Original Idea" under the
auspices and for the benefit of the
popular local Knights of Pythias
Lodge. Mr.. and Mrs. Labadie are
possessed of high and refined dra
matte ability, and their character
delineations are artistic and pleas
ing in a very marked degree. The
entertainment is appropriately
named, and cleverly described as
"a dialogue embracing selections
from the great authors, with a
theme running throughout" The
musical numbers were well rend-
cred and highly appreciated.

A REMARKABLE SITUATION.
Facts In Regard TO the Pet bsnk
FinancierinE of the secretary
of the Treasury.

A beautiful system of financering
used by Secretary OF the Treas ury Gage
in dealing with pet banks" is wildly
illustrated in the story OF the safe OK
the old custom house in New York CITY
to the National City bank.
The custom house was sold to the
hank for the sum Of $3,2G5,O60. The
hank credited the United States on its
books with the sum of S3,2l5,000, leaving
$4,000 still due, stipulating that SO
long as the balance remained unpaid
and the government remained in pos
scssion-at an annual rental OF $780,
6oo-the bank should not be held liable
| for taxes or water rates. Secretary
Gage assentcd to this arrangement. NO
| deed has yet passed.
Now the tax commissioners OF New
York city have assessed the custom
house at Sc, O0O, 600 and called upon the
bank for the taxes. The latter replied
that the property still belongs to the
| United States, and is therefore exempt
| from taxation.
The following. then, comprises the re-
| markable situation:
The bank has credited tne SoVerh-
| ment with SO 1000. but IL actually re-
ta;ns the money and has the use OF il
free of charge
The government is paying the bank
an annual rental OF 900, or, rather,
Mr.. Gage has agreed to pay that
amount.
The baak. while charging rent for
the custom house. objects TO payin g the
taxes. on the ground that the custom
house is still the property Of the
United States.
The bank cvades the tax. amounting
TO SAT 900 year.
The bank charges an annual rental
of si3o.60O for the use of property
which. il tells the tax commissioners,
still belongs to the United States.
The bank has paid the government
s3,2i5. 00O which the government kind
lv allows il to keep and loan out TO its
customers at the ucual interest rates.
The govern meme pays the bank rent
money on piece Of property which
the latter maintains still belongs to the
government.
OF such is the kingdom OF republican
net bank fnancering. And the dear
! people pay the freight.-Los Angeles
