stump speakers,
I the prohibition organs of the
state, indulge in the most fanatical
gash, and quote from false figures
and draw the most untrustworthy
eonoluai >ua. They tell the people
how whiskoy keeps the tax rate
up, and how prohibition will re<
duoe it; they present a collection
of figures, (to hear them quoted)
is convincing of their argument;
they tell the people that whiskey
makes ail the pauperism in the
land, makes ri h men poor, fills
our lunatic asylums, etc. These
self same stump speakers put up
their gusto and word, which usual*
ly ia not worth a bill of bSans in
their own community, against sta*
tistiot and facte and telt the peo*
proper

and after striking a basis of equal

iana. ■ -* v ••»*;---
The Tikis pesents these facts aa
absolutely taken from official re*
ports, and presents them for e*-
aminatien and consideration of all
honest and fair mindpd men. It is
not gush, or misquoted figures, but
correct statistics that we defy the
prohibitionists to refute. Gush as
facts won't stick at all, when held
op for examination.

If crop prospects keep np to
their present standard, the Tem-
pte “its so,*' Or yds, its so, “be-
cause I say so.*' Let ns take the
statement of Hon. John D. McCall
on the first proposition and see
what he says. Here is his
STATEMENT }
The amount of revenne derived
by the state of Texas from ocoupa*
tion taxes, collected from persons
engaged in the sife of alcoholic
liquors and beer, for the two years
ending June 30, 1886, was 11,024,*
600.
The aggregate expenses to the
State of Texas, from the “criminal
source”—embracing pay of sheriffs,
dorks aod attorneys' fees in fel.
ony cases; attaohed witnesses in
felony oases; rewards: pay of
olerks'fees in criminal oases in
the oonrt of appeals; salary of all they can to entertain them well,
judge of criminal distriot courts of however.
Hsrris and Galveston counties;
salary of criminal district attorney
of Galveston and Harris counties;
pay of justices of ‘the peaoe and
constables; attorney general’s fees
m felony cases; deficiency, justices
of the peaoe and constables, for
the two years ending February 28,
1887. was 8958,788.74.
I, John D. McCall, comptroller
of pablio accounts of the state of
Texas, hereby certify that the
above statement is true and cor*
rect, in testimony whereof, I have
hereunto signed my name and af.
fixed the impress of the seal of
this office, at the city of Austin,
Texas, this the 27th day of May,
1887. John D. McCall,
[seal.] Comptroller.
Leaving the neat little sum of
865,767 to the state as revenue.
Next we wish to refer to the offi-
cial census of the United states for
1880 and compare the number of
oriminals, paupers, idiots and in-
sane in prohibition Maine with
similar subjects in anti prohibition
West Virginia, two states that have
nearly the same population, and
have been settled about the same
length of time.
Criminals iu Maine as per. cen-
sus 408.
Criminals in West Virginia as
per. censu«894.
Paupers in Maine as per. census
8211.
Paupers iu West Virginia as per.
census 1197.
Idiots in Maine as per. census
1825.
idiots in West Virginia as per.
census 1867.,
Insane in Maine as per. consus
1542.
Insane in West Virginia as per.
census 982.
How does this show up for pro-
hibition?
And next lot us look at the tax
rate in prohibitiou Maine com-
pared with the tax rate in anti-
prohibition West Viiginia. These
states according to the official cen-
sus have nearly the same popula-
tion and are selected for that rea-
son. The tax figures are trom the
officers of the states themsolves.
Taxable wealth of Maine is $265,*
f 978,716, the tax rate 40 conts on
the 8100. The taxable wealth of
West Virginia is 8116,746,5-19, the
tax rate 35 cents on the 8100. It
will be seen that Maine has over
twice as much property as West
Virginia, and j et West Virginia’s
tax rate is less. The proper way
of comparing the two is to put them
ou a basis ot equal taxable proper-
ty. Here it is: Placing thorn on
the same basis the tax rate in
Maine will be 79 cents on the ham
dred dollars and in West Virginia
it will only be 35 cents.
We will next take glorified Kan-
sas and compare its tax rate with
that of the once down trodden
Louisiana.
personal and real is 8277,581,278,
the tax 411-2 centson the hundred

In this ease, as id most others, ao-
tions speak louder than words.

Yes, that’s what induces many
men to follow the profession of
publishing a country newspaper, in

The dear, easy going, venerable
old Belton Reporter has this to
say. Butweask: What did Geo.
Clark say! Ain't yon mistaken
about Bis using that bad language?
Who bas beta imposing On our
neighbor?
The Hon. Geo. Clark, anti-pro-
hibitioniat, and Hon. T. R. Bonuer,
prohibitionist, twp of tbs most
prominent characters in this cam
paign, are calling each other
Mllars " slanderers, etc. We think
thqy woffld refect much more
credit on the cause that each rep-
resent by using language of less
violent and abusive character.

Tbain robberies in Texas are
very badly over drawn by some of

feet of which is notable in the two

and who were walking arsenals.
NewsfafRR reports show that
the little city of Paris is full to
overflowing with guests, atteUd-
ing the state encampment. Peo-
ple are seen sleeping in the streets
on cots, with their olothes on.
The plucky Paris people are doing

faith and can’t be regarded as hon-

tion speech in bis month and

The Waeo Advance announces
that ‘Dr. Carroll will preach the
commencement sermon for the
State University at Austin next
Sunday.’’ That the reverend gen-
tleman has gone back to the pro*
fession of preaching will be news
to some people who thought he
had abandoned that calling and
gone into politics.
The catalogue of the Sam Hous-
ton State Normal School at Hunts-
ville, shows an attendance during
the session closing June 2nd, of 212,
representing 98 counties. Of these
138 are native Texans, and 120
sons and daughters ot farmers.
The graduating cla-s numbers 54.
Of the undergraduates 65 received
first grade, and 40 second grade
certificates. The age for admis.
siou ot ladies bas been changed
from 18 to 16. Male students, how-
ever, cannot be admitted under 18
years of age. Each senator and
each representative appoints ono
state student selected by competi-
tive examination, but a limited
number of students paying their
own board can be admitted.
The ninth session of this school
opens Sept. 20, '87, and closes May
SI,1888.
The Denison Gazette lias a good
level headed man behind it, and
the following asserts the truthful-
ness of the statement. “Experi-
ence has proven that oven children
cannot bo forced into doing right.
Experience has proven that kind-
ness can and does accomplish far
more than brutality, that it is easier
to persuade than drive. Education
is the great bulwark of our liber
ties. No sane man wishes to do
himself mental or bodily harm.

cuit gave him ihe dyspepsia and he
will change oti to more wholesome
food. Whenever honesty is made

With the doctor walkiug the tight
rope across that sulphureous burn-
ing lake, fishing for living illustra-
tions of the effects of intemper-
ance, the Advance would doubtless
be a success as an illustrated west-
ern daily.
Yes, for instance, an illustration
of Dr. Cran. himself, when cutting

Mexico, biling full of mescal. A
great success.

Glad to hear it. Thought tho
Dr. had given up the mjnistery

their friends in curing consumption
severe coughs, croup, asthma, pneu-

diseases. No person can use it with

wili relieve any case, aud we cousider
it the duty of all druggists to reccotn•
mend it to the poor, dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle; as 80,-
000 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed, was
reported. Such a medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely
known. Ask pour druggist about it.
