Pan Antonio, December G.—A self-constituted
ex< cutive committee invited 100 Democrats (oro-

re om to-night,and fifty responded to the call. The
object of the meeting was explained to be the ap-
pointment of a committee of five to co ope rat, •
wiih a like committee of llep iblic in<, who woul I

executive committee and a candidate for mayor.
Ms ted in suhssance that as couv 'iiti >n* were man-
aged by rings this mode of making nominations
Ma determined upon to prevent it
C. V. Merrltt, a memb rof the executive cim-
mittte and an« ii»er candidate for mayor, held that
none but r roperty-holders should have a voice i i
iteming the candidates who are to administer the
ofTai-s of the city, hence he favored this way of
making nominations.
Of car Bergstrom was opposed to this mode of
nam ing candidates, as it would be unjust to nomi
rate a ticket for the people ir. espective of party,
in the select!' n of which no one would have a
voice but a few select property-holders. He ad-
vocated the hoidh g of mass primaries, which
would select delegates, irrespective of party, to a
on.-political convention that would name tlia can-
didates.
'Iliis was regarded as high treason by Mr. Mer-
rltt, who denounced the ina-s-conveution method
as heir g ring rule in disguise, and demanded to
kticwbywliat right Mr. Bejg-urom had licensed
h.msclf to address the meeting.
Ir trat spired, however, that Mr. Bergstrom had
let n invited to be present by the committee.

The New York fc»uu on the Decrease of the Na-
tional Bunk Circulation.
Niw Ycbk, December t».—T,he fciua, iu a
notatle double leaded editorial, discusses the
question of our coming national currency, an I
rt aches the conclusion that the national bank
currency n tst go, and give place to a govern-
ment currency of com and paper money. The
rrticle notes carefully the rapid decrease of
the national bank circulation, and the more
i apid increase in coin ami coin certificates,
and bh)s: "This will give us, by
lfclil, a grand total of $1,loo,000,00.) of
pi vemment currency, against not more
than one hundred million dollars, and proba-
ta } /«ss. supplied by the banks Of course m ich
nmy happen to modify <>r prevent this result.
I he conduct of men can not be predicted so
confidently as that, of inanimate things. The
legal-tenders may be redeemed and withdrawn,
the coinage of silver dollars may be suspended,
ar el the supply e.f gold may he diminished at
the mines, e,r be drained away to foreign
ce untiicp. The decrease of national bank cir-
culation may on the other hand be checked
ly favoring legislation, but the probabilities
me greatly aguima these eveuts, anl
as we said at the outset it is much more likelv
that rational bank notes will be driven oat of
use altoge'fcer and their place taken by an ex
' lmivejs government, currency. The existence
ed a national bank circulation, it must be re-
numbered, depends entirely uoou the profit k
> ields the banks. Those institutions are con-
ducted upon commercial, not upon philan-
t» ropic principles. 8o long as the bonds, re-
quired as security for their circulation, bear
a frnlEciently high rate of interest they will
is-eue the notes, but so soon as the rate falls
below the paying point the circulation will be
withdi awn. At present t here are enough.'] per
cents to be bad at about pur to make it worth
while to take out circulation upon them
but these bonds, as we know, will all soon bo
1 aid off end the comptroller of the currency
tells us that the 4s ami are alreadv
too high to make them a profitable basis for
circulation. The 4)<b will surely be redeemed
at their maturity in 1891, and the 4s are ris'.ir?
in price continually under the competition for
them by executors, trustees, savings institu-
tions and timid investors. That the pe>ple of
the United fctates will for the safe of the
t anks sanction any legislation by which either
the n&tioi al debt shall be pro'ongerl or the in-
terest upon it be iucieas«d ic is idle to sup-
pose. That they will permit banks to issue cir-
culation on any less secure a basis
tb».n United States bonds is equally
incredible. There is no cscape that we can
f-ee from the bard logic of facts—the national
bank currency must go, and that pretty soon.
Of the possibility of the retirement of th-*
legal t'.neier notes by redemption and cancella-
tion there is no ineication. The contracting
of ihem in this way was stopped in 1878 by
popular clamor, and as we have already re-
marked, they have remained fixed at their
present amount ever since, without efforts of
either pai ty to reduce it. The same may be
taid of the coinage of silver dollars. Every
attempt to check or to suspend it has hitherto
I e< n abortive. The West almost unanimously
favors it and will support it to the last.
As to the danger that the wi:hdrawui
of bark circulation may cause a momentary
stringency, concerning" which so much solici-
tude has been expressed in various quarters, it
need only be remarked that the coinage of
gold and silver alone will more than fill any
vacuum thus occasioned. Whether the coin
goes into circulation as coin or as government
r» ce ipts for coin de'ivc rable on demand is im

I'oiMtltiitlvual and Valid liy Hie Court
of A 1'peal. - Full Tfil or the
Opliilon or .ludge WIIN n
By tbe act of May 4, 1883, »bich provides
for levying occupation tux en, it is provided
tlat there thall be levied on and collected
"from every person, firm o;- aHsociatio i of
persons selling or ottering for sale i he Illus-
I rated Poltco News, Police Gnze'te und other
illustrated publications of liko character, the
ftmi of if,00 in each county in whioh such sale
may be mode or offered to be made." [(Jen.
l aws called session 17th leg., sec, 8, p. 30 ]
This conviction was had upon an Iudlct-
liiint which chirpes the defendant, in proper
foim, with following the occupation and busi-
ness of selling and olferine "to sell the Illus
t rated Pol toe News aud Police (Mzotta with-
cut paying tbe tax prescribed by law.
There ik but a single question presented by
Ihe record tor our determination, and that is
Ite constitutionality of the above qaoled
stntutorj provision. Counsel for appall int
contend tliat said lnv is unconstitutional for
two rtasoi s: 1. That the tax levied by it is
not "i qual anil uniform ii|s)n the same clas*
of subjects." [Const, art. 8. sees. 1-3.] 3.
ihst it is oppressive, vague, uncertain, in-
definite nnd bevond the power of the legisla-
ture. We will consider these propo.-it.ioU3 iu
ibi Ir order.
What class of subjects is embraced In this
low I Jib language plainly answers the ques-
tion, "Ihe illustrated Police News, Police
Gazette and other illustrated publications of
like character." Whatever the publication
n ay be, if it be illustrated and of like charac-
ter with tbe two named puh'icatjons, it Is In-
cluded in the clusg of publicat<ous made sub-
ject to the tax. This character of publica-
tions constitutes a particular class uuder the
law, distinct from other publications, the olass
being known and determined by the chirac-
teristic features of the two publications named
ss examples. It is immaterial what may be
tbe number of publications, whether few or
many, which come within this class; still if
the tax levied reaches all belonging to the
j articular class, it is not obnoxious to the ob-
jection that it is not equal and uniform. It is
only when individuals of a class are sia^led
out for exemption that this objection can ob-
tain. [Cooley on Taxation, 138; Burroughs on
Taxation, fees. 53-54.]
This law exempts no publication belonging
to the class lepiesented by the two named
publications, from tho tax levied. We con-
clude, therefore, that the tax levied i* equal
and uniform—applicable to all publications
condtig within the class designated.
Tbe second objection is also, in our opinion,
unterable. The taxing power must be left to
that pait of the government which is to exer-
cise it, that is, the legislature, and " it is only
where statutes are passed which impose taxes
cn false and unjust principles, or oporateto
uoduce gross in' quality, so that they cm not
ie deemed in any just sense proportional in
their tffecfc on those who are to bear the pub-
lic charges, that courts can interpose and ar-
rest the course of lfgislation by declaring such
enactments void." [Com. vs. Savings bank,
Allen, 428; Cooley on Taxation, 136 137.j
Mr. Cooley says: "Tbe power to impose taxes
is one so unlimited in fores and so "searching
in extent, that the courts scarcely venture to
declare that it is subject to any restrictions
w hatever, except such as rest in the discretion
of the authority which exercises it. It reaches
to every trade or occupation; to every object
of industry, lite or enjoyment; to every species
of possession." [Cooley on Const. Lim , 593 ]
And it wes said by that great jurist, Chief
Justiie Marshall, that it is "unfit for the ji
dicial department to inquire what decree of
taxation is tbe legitimate use, and whit de-
cree may amount to the nbuseof power."
[SicCiillock vs. Maryland, 4 Wheat., 430.] It
is not for this court therefore, to say whether
this tux is oppressive. That was aques ioa
for tbe legislature to pass upou, and the fa
di( iury bus no right to inquire in to it. It, is" to
be conclusively presumed that tue legislature
bed good and sutlicient reasons for imposing
this tax upon persons selling, or offering to
fell, the publications named, and all other
piiblicatlous of the same character.
"iheluw is, in our opinion, sufficiently defl
rote and ctrt. in. It. is leveled at a well known
( lass of publications which were r, girded by
tbe legisla'ure as immoral, and pernicious ia
their tendency, and there can be nj
ii i>un(ierstat)g as to the diss of publini
tiotis intended to bo embraced in the
el. In construing a statute, we must look to
the inttnt of the legislature in enacting it. and
rot alcne 1o its language It is a matter of
r.otoiieiy ibat. when this law ivts enacted au
illustrated publication known as the Police
News, and Brother known as the Police
zette, w ere offered for sale und wer" soli in all
tbe cities of the State and upon the passenger
Inline cf oil tbe railroads in the State; anl
further, that these publications were of aa in-
decent, immoral and pernicious character,
and Ibat many of the citizens of tbe State de-
manded some legislation that would prevent,
re-triet or regulate this class of publications.
These are tacts of such notoriety that the
courts will take judicial notice of them iu ar-
riving at tbe meaning, scope and purpose of
tbe act in question. [I Whart Ev., sec. 33J;
Stem IK S vs. the State, 31 Texas 705; Allbrocht
vs. the State, 8 Ct. App. 310.]
Tie tax impii-ed by this law is not a tax
upon property, but upon a privilege, aa i is a
iiolice regulation as well as a tax tor revenue.
Ibe po«e r of tbe legislature to levy such a tax
in tbe language of Justice Miller, " is, and
must be, from its \ery nature, incapable of
any very exact definition or limitation. Upon
it depends the security of social order, tha life
and health of the citizen, the comfortof an ex-
istence in a thickly populated community, t*ie
enjoi meut of private and social life, and the
beneficial use of property. It extends to the
protection of the lives, limbs, health, comfort
ar.d quiet of all persons, and the protection of
all piopeity wiihiu the State; and pers ins and
property are subjected to all kinds of restraints
and burdens, in order to secure the general
comfort, honltb and prosperity of the State.
Of the perfc. t right of the legislature, to do
this, no ques.ion ever was, or, upon acknow-
ledged general | riucip'es, ever can be, made,
so far as natural persons are concerned."
[Slaupbte r bouse c«8-*s, 1(1 Wallace, 03.]
In support of our view that the law in ques-
tion is valid, that it wasfully within the power
of the legislature to enact it, and that it is not
obnoxious to any of the objections made to it,
we cite the following additional authorities:
Ccoley on Taxation, 3!Xi. 403, 401; Cooley on
Const. Lim., 713, 725,748, 749; Burroughs on
Taxation, section 77; Languille vs the State,
4 Ct. App., 313; Higgins vs Rinker, 47 Tex.,
oJo,
It is no sufficient objection to the law levy-
ing tbe tax that there exists another statute
for the prevention of tho circulation of inde-
cent and immoral publications. [P. C., art.
£43 ] It was within the discretion aud power
of tbe legislature to enact as many statutes
upon the subject as were thought by them to
be necessary to regulate, restrict or prohibit
tbe evil which they wei e seeking to remedy.
We are of the opinion that there is no error
in the conviction, arid the judgment is af-
firmed. Affirmed.
