that of El Paso county at a time fonr
years ago when the tax rate here was
tbs highest ever reached since the
oounty was organized. He does not
tell us the bonded Indebtedness of the
counties he names. He ignores whether
the bonds of other counties run for a
longer or shorter period than those of
this oounty. He does not take into

amount of litigation in El Paso oounty
where the oost of juries in one year Is
nearly $10,000. Bis purpose is to
reaoh a conclusion that we must haTe

Then this same fluaqoier Foster com-
plains of the “expense of county gov-
ernment” and takes his figures from
the same commissioner's report for
1890, acknowledging in his last quota-
clou in regard to Tsrrant oounty that
;he figure is “evidently a mistake.”
Now Mr. Foster knows, or he ought to
know, that oounty treasurer's differ
materially in the manner in whioh
they answer Commissioner Hollings
worth’s question: “What was the total
aoiiount expended for the support of
the oounty government?” Here are
three extracts from the latest report
for 1892.

That is proof anoogh that the treas-
urers do not understand the question
alike. Yet Mr. Foster wants to make
oapital out of snoh figures.
In 1892 only two counties in the state
had a total indebtedness that approxi-
mated that of this oonnty. Others
were either muoh greater or muoh less
El Paso oounty’s indebtedness then
was about $190,000 and its oonnty tax
levy 55 oente on $10,746,096. Harrison
oonnty’e indebtednee < then was $195,-
542 40 and its oonnty tax levy was
$1.02^ oents on $4,113,733. Marion
oounty’s indebtedness was $244,000
and Us tax levy $1,10 on $2,015,600.
Without deducting the fees of col-
lecting officers and the amount of de
lloqulnoiec, Dallas oonnty levied a tax
of about $200,000; Bexar levied about
$160,000; Travis about $79,000; El Paso

I heard a good story that brings out
Russell Sage’s laying up for a rainy day
hobby. It seems that Russell seldom if
ever misses the directors’ dinner, spread
every day in the Western Union build-
ing, after which he is not averse to an
inexpensive cigar, and just here it is
not amiss to suggest that Russell should
smoke tobies, which would furnish his
tobacco solace for the small sum of three
for five, which is just in his line.
While fit the cigar stand, fishing around
his not at all fashionable costume for
the requisite coin, an acquaintance ar-
rived mid planked down 15 oents for an
imported weed. The conning old manip-
ulator of the destinies of Wall street
lambs saw an opportunity here to make
a turn in the cigar line. Producing a
dime, he laid it beside the acquaint-
ance’s 15 oents and then suggested to
said acquaintance to order two fora
quarter. As the brand the gentleman
wanted retailed for 15 oents straight at
two for a quarter the foxy Russell se-
cured a 15 center for 10 oents. This is
a lesson in economy, so there’s no use
saying anything about the other phase
of the deal.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

The light of tee "Lightning Bog.”
Of late the naturalists have been los-
ing sleep and filling a great deal of val-
uable magazine space in discussing the
causes that produce the light emitted
by fireflies. As is generally the case
where much study and investigation is
involved, there is a Wide difference of
opinion. One school of scientists trace
the phenomenon, to the nervous system
of the insect; another to his respiration,
while a third school have prepared an
article of 6,000 words to prove that the
light is entirely dependent upon the
poor bug’s circulation. The burden of
evidence seems to be in favor of those
who claim that the luminous tissue is
made up of fat globules, which are in-
termittently acted upon by the oxygen
of the air and.the phosphorous of the
creature’s body.—St. Louis Republic.

The Car Core.
We do not know, but we strongly
suspect, that our el sctric railways are en-
couraging the car cure. In fact, Eu-
ropeans are gravely discussing the effects
of electric railways on rheumatism, and
many sufferers take the oar cure with
regularity and supposed benefit- They
get as near the motor as possible and
cast longing eyes on the trolley. As a
noted and eminent English physician
gave as the result of his life’s observa-
tion “that fully two-thirds of the ail-
ments of humanity were purely imagi-
nary, ” we can readily see how the car
oure for rheumatism iB very efficacious.
