The Pennsylvania House of
Representatives have decided tol
report a bill for an appropria
tion of $&,C00,000 for the border
counties to pay losses by Con
federate raids during the war.
Tijebe seems to be a diversity
of opinion on the proposed re
duction of tho- tobacco tax. The
best advised authorities at
Washington favor keeping the
tax up lb its present standard.

The Dos Tax.
The Rockdale Messenger says
that the dog tax has inside mm-h
trouble .iir-JIilanv county. Jt
seems that a number of tax
payers have""fa5ledto pay their
dog tax, and in consequence
thereof some three hundred
capiasas have been issued. The
law is quoted as" tollows :
Section 3. That if any per
son shall keep a dog that has
been assessed for taxes under
this act. and shall tail to pay
the tax ou the same on or be
fore the 1st day of January next,
atter said assessment is made,
he or s-he shall be guilty ot a
misdemeanor, and upon convic
tion thereof in any court ot com
pet cut jurisdiction, shall be
fined not less than five dollars
and costs for each dog so kept,
and it is hereby made the duty
ot county attorneys-to prosecute
on Ins own motion all delinquent
tax payers under this act.
Upon. this the Connty Attor
ney filed complaints against
some three huu'dred delinquent
dog tax payers, and the tonse
qnence i9- they are having- a
very lively time in Milam
county, and no good feeling to
wards the officials.
----
The Insane. '
The Waco Telephone has a
good word to say in behalf of
the insane. But a day or two
ago the Bannks recorded the
-fact that the sheriff of Harris
county took an ipsanc person to
the State Lunatic Asylum, and
had to return with an incurable
patient. Here in Brcnham we
have fo'ur insane" persons con
fined in the 'jail for the simple
reason that the State is not able
to tike care of them. The
facilities afforded by the ordi
nary county jail are entirely in
adequate to the case of this un
fortunate class of people. It
usually happens that when a
person becomes insane that
their relatives are disposed to
abandon them. There are now
in the connty jail three insane
persons, and the grand jury
would do well to investigate
the circumstances under which
these persons are kept at the
eountys expense.
Hktil Texas ceases to be an
exclusively agricultural country
we will not have that degree of
prosperity that should mark our
fine farming location. This
county is beyond any doubt the
garden spot of Texas. We can
and do raise more cotton than
perhaps any other county in tho
State. What we need es a di
versity of crops. It is presumed
on the part ot farmers that they
understand their Dnsiness much
better than newspaper men.
Perhaps they do. Tbe news
paper man has an every day ex
perience with them. We, as
-newspaper men, do not propose
to dictate to them, bnt our ex-
-perience from one yearto anoth
er proves to ns that we, so fer
as -our information goes to show,
are right. Whenever there are
manufactories cstablisiied at
home we will have prosperous
times not before.

Senator Toraecs' Speech.
(St. Louis Republican.)
Senator Voorhees' speech on
tlu- silver question took a very
w ide range It went far beyond
the -ilver question, and took in
the whole monev question, with
all the phases it presents now
and all that it has presented in
the last ten years. It foreshad
ows that expansion of the issue
which we shall see take place it
the popular demand for silver
dollars shall be thwarted by a
veto ot the bill now before the
Senate. Mr. Vorhees hrimrs
tip that monstrous and indefen
sible act ol a Republican Con-gres-,
the conversion ot the live
twenty greenback bonds into-
coin bonds, and denounces it in
unmeasured terms. He says ot it:
"In the whole financial histo
ry of the civilized world no par
allel can be found to thi auda
cious deed ot broken faith, de
liberate treachery to the people
and national dishonest'. It
stands out by itself, towering
high above all common frauds,
.and dwarfing them in compari
son with its own vast propor
tions. It will bear the names ot
those who enacted it to distant
generation v amidst the groans,
curses and lamentations ot tho-e
who toil on land and on sea, and
more deeply engraven than any
other name will be forever tonnd
that of the secretary of the treas
ury "as the author of what he,
himclf, said constituted the
two-fold crime of repudiation
and extortion."
Mr. Vorhees, in support of his
position, quotes the language of
Senator Morton in 1S69, as fol
lows: '-1 combination of stock-jobbers,
as destitntc of conscience
as pirates, and inspired alone by
greed tor money, successfully
thundered at these doors and
finally deceived this government
into the most stupendous act of
bad faith and legalized robbery
ever practiced upon any people
since the dawn of history."
This is strong language, but it
is not stronger than the-case de
mands; it expresses the opintous
of a distinguished Republican
now dead and a distinguished
living Democrat and it would
not be out ot the way, perhaps,
to say that it expresses tlie.opm
ions of a majority of the Demo
crats and Republicans of the
country at this clay.
Mr. Vorhees demands the re
peal ot the resumption act, the
abolition of the national bank
system, and that legal-tcndci
greenbacks be made the sole pa
per currency of the country, to
be issued to an amount indicated
by the wants of business, and to
be receivable in payment ot all
debts, public and private, incbi
ding interest on tbe national
debt and custom duties. These
are wild propositions. They em
brace the policy vit tiie green
back party, as it is called, and if
adopted would bear us away
from the safe anchorage into
which we have Iweii tending for
the iast three years, and forces
ns to try the inflation experi
ment over again. It is signifi
cant, however, that these wild
schemes have found a champion
in the senate at last The fact
is suggestive, and prophetic It
shows the strong popular exas
peration wbieli tho harsh meas
ures of the creditor classes of the
East are inciting, and it indi
cates the violent and extreme
retaliatory forms which this ex
asperation will exhibit if the
senseless provocation shall be
maintained.
