VIENNA. Feb. 20.-There was a repeti-
ton to-day of the turbulent scenes mark
ing most of the recent sittings OF the
Reichsrath. which compelled the President
10 close the session. The trouble to-day
arose over the Presidents statement that
he proposed TO use the right Of censorship
I'm regard TO interpretations. The Czechs
end Germans simultaneously attempted 10
make speeches In their respective Ian
euages. Pandemonum followed and OBJ
jectionable epithets passed freely Finally
the young Czechs forced their way 10 the
presidential chair and b0mbarded the
president with paper balls. whereupon the
sittings were suspended amid scenes OF the
greatest uproar.

THE DOG TAN.

The dog tax has been much dis
cusSed in Virginia, and while there
are some in favor OF taxing the ca-
nine there are others who oppose it.
The idea is not a popular one. at
least. There are supposed to Oe
100000 dogs in the State-Some
of value. being absolutely worth
less. The friends of the dog tax con-
tend that tax would reduce the
number and thin out the worthless,
but there is reason to doubt the cor
rectness Of this contention, Tor there
are men who would stint themselves
to pay the tax on a dog that is re-
garded as a nuisance by everybody,
save its owner. In France every dog
is taxed, and. yet, there are more
dogs in France than there are IN the
United States
We admit the value OF a useful dog,
but when We call to mind the number
of dogs there are in the State, each
one consuming food that might be
fed to hogs to the profit OF our farm
ers, we are inclined to the belief that
some law calculated to reduce the
number of the canine family would
prove beneficial to our people.
More. the farmers sheep are taxed
as personal property, and 1t is the
duty of the State to protect them
from molestation, as it does other
taxable values. Then, too, a small
tax on such a large number OF dogs
would fall comparatively easy on
people who desire to keep them
while it would yield considerable
revenue to the State.

ample faith in the ability Of their

cause them to legard a contest as

have put on renewed activity in the

are that the cOntestN u be a hot one

should JOINT discussions be decided
