WORK OF DEMAGOGUES.
Ifoeville Bee,
There is a deficit in the State
treasury—a hole, so to speak.
The present reduced rate of tax-
ation is insufficient to fill up
this hole. A majority of the
legislators propose to fill up
this bole with a tax on intangi-
ble property.
Webster gives the definition
of “intangible” to be “not
tangible; incapable of beiug
touched.”'
Here we have the remarka-
ble mathematical proposition of
filling a cavity of definite pro-
portions with something ethe-
rial and uot capable of being
touched. Wise statesmen are
those fellows who propose to
pay the debt of the State with-
out taxing anything or any-
body. Iu truth, the “intangi-
ble” bill is designed to filch
from the bloated corporations,
the object of so much hatred,
yet the source of so much reve-
nue to the legal fraternity. The
bill will fall short of its object.
Indifferent lawyers as the legis-
lative tinkers are, the bill will
admit of several stage coaches
being driven through it. It
will raise little if any revenue
—an indefinite sum at least.
The public finaucesol this pros-
peious State, already deplora-
• bly bad by reason of bad legis-
lation, will be worse. The
State’s creditor’s will be com-
pelled to hawk their warrauts
among the money shavers. The
8tate will have to pay a full
hundred cents on the dollar
some day, when it gets a busi-
ness Legislature that will see
the necessity of putting the ad
Valorem rate back to where it
was ten years ago. Or else the
Governor will have to call the
solons of t he preseut back iu ex-
tra session to remedy the evil
they wrought, and they will gat
some more mileage on free
passes and some more five dol-
lars per diem.
If the Governoi stands pat,as
be should do, the responsibility
will rest where it belongs—^on
the demagogues sent to the
Legislature, by Northern and
Eastern Texas. Perhaps the
people of that politically*iadif-
fvrent section will see the error
of their ways some good dgy,
and send a few business men to
represent them at Austin.

NAME CHANGED.

Mr. F. C. Hendrix, of Dris-
coll, was in town Saturday. He
informed a representative of the
Echo-tbat the name of the rail-
road station tjjera. has been
c ding'd from Dris-cojl to Al
tied, but the postoffiqVs contin-
ues to bear the naip&of Dris-
coll. This is not pleasing to
the citizens, as it leads to much
confusion. It is probable that
the name ot Robsttjwu will
shortly be changed to Driscoll.
