DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
WAYS AND MEANg TO IgDu0l , PAYMENT or FOIL TAX.
Meeting of Executive Committss Called for Saturday, January 16-Soms Doubt as to
 Exemptions

Ray Rushton, chairman Of the Demo mocratic Executive Committee of Mont gomery County, has called meeting oi the committee to be hsld in his office al I2 o'clock next Saturday. The meeting is called for the purpose of devising ways and means to get the Democratic voters of the county to pay their poll taxes and under the new constitution.
 q am informed" said a well known Democrat yesterday. "that less than 50 per cent of the Democratic voters of the county. who are subject to them. have paid their poll taxes This seems this tax is paid before February list the citizen who fails to do So, disfranchises himself. so far as all elections held dur ing this year are concerned. It should be borne in mind. too. that the tax for this year must in the end be paid to qualify one to vote as the would-be elector must pay his accumulated poll taxes next year before he can qualify to vote. If he fails to pay N.5o he can- not vote this year. Next year he must
 
 A.50. It seems to me it would be far better for Democrats to pay their poll taxes with each year than to allow them to accumulate"
 The call for the meeting of the Demo cratic Committee as issued yesterday is as follows:
 .'There will be meeting of the Demo- cratic Executive Committee of Montgom- cry County at my office on Saturday. the 18th day of January. 1902. at 12 o'clock m., for the purpose of making arrangements to set the Democratic voters of the county to pay their poll tax and qualify themselves as electors, and for the transaction of such other busi- ness as may come before the committee.
 Ray Rushton Chairman"
 Some doubt seems to exist in Mont gomery as to persons who are exempt from the payment of the poll tax. The new constitution provides that persons who were exempt under existing statutes are exempt under the new constitution. This exempts soldiers. who are actively engaged with the National Guard. trus- tees of townships and volunteer fremen in certain places covered by special en- actments. Persons who were volunteer firemen in Montgomery years ago are not exempt unless they have passed the age limit, 45 years.

 ''As a result of the testimony given before the Interstate Commerce Commits sion at Chicago, suits aggregating be- tween s1. .oOo, 900 and g, 900. 900 will probably be brought against the railroad com panies operating lines between here and the Missouri River to recover charges illegally made for shipping of cattle. A movement Is on foot to have the various cattle growers and shippers associations combine with a view of bringing test cases against the railroads. The suits which are contemplated will be for a re- coyery of the difference between the tariff rates and the rates paid on packing house products. The cattlemen base their hope of recovery upon the rulings of the Su- preme Court. to the effect that the same rate must be made for the transportation of cattle that Is made for dressed beef and the products from cattle"

PRINTERS ARE TOO SLOW.
The Value of Government Reports
IL Impaired by Delays In
Publication.

The public as well as the government
suffers greatly by the dilatory meth
DDS in vogue in the printing of official
reports. The value of work done by the
scientific bureaus maintained by the
government especially is lamentably
lessened by the hardness with which
the results are given to the public.
Official information does not make its
appearance until the question has be-
come obsolete or enough light has been
shed on 1t through the medium of a
more energetic press.
The delay, says the Chicago Chron-
icle is caused by the difficulty in get
ting the reports printed. In many
eases the manuscripts prepared under
the direction of the bureaus do not see
the light OF publication for three years.

HENPECKED HUSBANDS.
Celestial Literature Ii Full of HUI
mOrous Anecdotes and De1crip-
tions ON the Subject.

"Chinese humorous literature
abounds with reference to henpecked
husbands said Prof. Herbert Allen
Giles, of the University of Cambridge.
In the closing lecture of his recent
course at Columbia university. Then
he went on to tell sample story culled
from this branch of Chinese litera-
ture, says the New York Tribune.
"Ten henpecked husbands resolved
TO form a society to resist the lmposi-
tons of their wives he said. 1.-The ten
wives heard of the plan, and while the
meeting for organization was in prog
ress entered in a body. Nine of the
rebellious husbands inc ontinently bolt
ed, but the tenth one retained his place,
quite unmoved by the frightful ap-
partition. The ten ladies, merely smil-
ing contemptuously on the one man
left behind, returned to their homes,
satisfied with the success of their raid.
The nine husbands thereupon returned
and resolved to make the heroic tenth
the president of the society. When
they went, however, to inform him OF
the honor, it was found that he had
died of fright.
women have a few privileges that
men have not" continued Prof. Giles.
"They are exempt from the bamboo
punishment; no woman can be bam-
booed. And a woman is source of enx-
iety and misgiving to magistrate and
counsel in any case in which she may
be party, for no Chinaman will enter
into an agreement with a woman-not
from any feeling of chivalry at all, but
from a rooted conviction that he will
get the worst of it."
Prof. Giles continued to reveal mas
culine secrets by describing some
things which he said recently took
place at a dinner at which a number
of high-class natives and important for
eigners were present. The host ad-
dressing himself to the latter, in
quired:
"Do you fear the inner ones?"
Upon inquiry he explained that he
meant their wives, and added, with
men stood in constant fear of their
wives.
snow, for example, he does" said
the host, naively, pointing to solemn
| and rotund magistrate, who had inn
pressed everyone as filed with sense
of his Importance.
Atthis all the Europeans present burst
into uncomfortable laughter, which
rather surprised the Chinaman, who
had been seeking to acquire informa-
ton on what they thought were seri-
Gus matters.
