q. s.. INTERNAL REVENUE = LAST
asssta -. YEAR AND THIS.


A comparative statement, showing
the collections of internal revenue for
the fiscal years ending June 80, 1870 and
1871, was completed at Washington on
the 18th, from which the following facts
and figures are taken:
The entire amount of collections from
spirits for the year ending June 80, 1870,
was $55, Coz, 094, and for the past fiscal
year, SAG, 2S2, 1853 There was an increase
of $4,000 from spirits distilled from
traits during the past year, and de-
crease of $4,000 from spirits distill-
ed from materials other than fruits.
The per diem tax on distilleries also de-
creased $500, 600, and the special tax on
distilleries $4,000. The revenue from
tobacco during the past year was $685.
5S7, 587, and for the year before $3l $50, :
107-an increase of over $1,000, GOO,
about equally divided between cigars
and chewing tobacco. In fact there was
an Increase of revenue on every article
under the head of tobacco. On fer
mented liquors the increase over the last
fiscal year was 81, 07O, 900, and on banks
and bankers the increase was S623, 600.
The income tax shows falling off du-
ring the past year of nearly S19, 000, 600.
The income from indiyid1als for the
fiscal year ending june 30, 1870, was
S28, %, 572, and for the past year S15,-
220, 462. Bank dividends and undis-
tributed profits for 1870, S3,573,472, and
past year, l,514,5 sal. Railroad compa-
MES dividends and undistributnd prof
its for 1870, $2,S9S,S02; past year, ST.

past year, S1,OO3, ATT Insurance COM
panies' dividends and undintributed

cheeses, is product ct the richest pas

@Chesire cheese, one Of. the very best
of English cheeses, is the product of the
poorest land. Its weight is often as
high as one hundred to two hundred
pounds, and one pound of cheese to
each COW daily throughout the year, is
considered a fair average yield.

GDunlop cheese is the choicest Scot
tish product, and made much in the
same way as Cheshire.
"The Shuftolk cheese is made from
skim-milk, and weighs twenty-five to
thirty pounds.
s'The Edam cheese of Holland owes
not little of its popularity to its small
ness and form. In making it at certain
seasons the milk is partly skinned /;
the cheese is colored yellowish red
for the English market, and red for the
French; the weight is about four
pounds, and each COW in summer is ex-
pected to yield two hundred pounds
skim-milk cheese and eighty pounds of
butter.
SThe Roqnefort is the chief cheese of
France. 1t is made from the milk of
sheep and goats, half of which has
been skinned its weight is four to
five pounds, and it is believed to owe
much of its peculiar character to the
natural vaults or assures in the neigh
boring rocks, where the ripening is
performed, and which are constantly
filed with cold air from subterranean
recesses."
Very many of these brands are now
successfully initiated by American
makers, so that the day is not far dis
tant when America will furnish not
only as much but as fine cheese as any
country in the world.

KENTUCKY BOURBONISM.

| The New Orleans Times has the fol-
lowing significant editorial upon the
recent election in Kentucky. Coming
as it does from leading Democratic
paper of the South, it is illustrative of
| the progress of liberal ideas in that Sec
ton:
The Democratic politicians of Ken
lucky have illustrated their incapacity
to direct a great party in a popular
election, by what looks like a virtual
defeat in the recent contest in that
State. 1t was obvious to all impartial
| outsiders that the party was being led
to destruction by the woful lack of sa-
gacity or courage of its accidental
chiefs. The idea of State, which
played the part of a neutral during our
civil war, refusing to accept the conse-
quences of the victory obtained over
the South; opposing the establishment
of schools for the negroes, and even
the admission of their testimony in
court, in which white men were part
les, was one which was alike discredit-
able to intelligence and enlightenment,
and vastly damaging to the party, in
whose name it was maintained. A
shreWd, able and courageous Kentuck-
ian, of one of the ancient families of
the State, boldly put himself forward
as the champion of the opposition, and
though disclaiming all identification
with the extreme views and abominable
practices of the Radicals in the other
States, was wisely accepted as their
candidate for Governor. The election
returns indicate enormous gains for
Gen. Harlan, and seriously threaten the
immense Democratic majority of the
State. They are sufficient at least to
demonstrate the weakness, we might
say, indeed, the Stiffness, of the men
who have controlled the Democratic
party in the contest.
The pretence of the Democratic cam
didate in his speeches, made all through
the State, that Kentucky, financially
the best conditioned State in the Union,
could not afford to appropriate a few
hundred thousand dollars to the educa-
ton of her negro children, who were to
grow up citizens and suffragans; the
Irrational and demoralizing prejudice
against the admission of negro testi-
mony, which was received in the courts
of this State even under the slavery
regime, might well have insured his de-
feat and certainly suggests the neces-
sity of a reorganization of the party
on grounds more in accordance with
the spirit of the age, as well as
with reason, justice and sound states

CHEESE FACTORIES IN NEW YORK

Within the last twenty years the man.
ufacture of cheese in the United States
has developed into an extensive indus
try, so that from being dependent upon
other countries for our supply of cheese,
we are in fair way of becoming the
chief source of supply for that article.
In 1853 we imported a million and q
half pounds of English cheese, and ex-
ported a million pounds of our own.
In 1870, however, we exported fifty
million pounds, and had an abundant
supply for our own wants. The CO.
operative system has been found so adj
vantageous in the manufacture of cheese
and butter, that it is estimated that
there are now nearly a thousand of these
cooperative factories in New York
State supplied with milk from a quar-
ter of a million of cows. 1t is expected
that the milk from every three thousand
cows will yield q million pounds OF
cheese, or moro than three hundred
pounds of cheese and three hundred
gallons of milk for each cow. The fac
tories in New York State are distribu-

EDITORIAL TRIALs.-Web. Wilder, of
the Fort Scott Monitor is in trouble.
Addiction has 'got in on him" in a new
place. Hear him:
The bore of the season is our fruit.
There is too much of it. 1t is too free
and frequent. Nearly all of our time is
taken up in visiting wagons, inspecting
grapes, trying peaches, measuring wat
ermelons, taking home potatoes and
distributing peaches among our typo
graphical fellow labOrers. We have
got tired of carrying bags and baskets
and boxes, and feel ike resigning our
position.
We read in the papers yesterday that
the terrible drouth in Kentucky was
continued, and that the farmers in the
blue grass region despaired of raising
one-eighth of a crop. We wished that
we were in Kentucky. 1t must be a
delightful State to live IN. Editors
there have time to write on politics,
news, literature, business. Here we
can do nothing but record the triumphs
of cucumbers and sky blue squashes.
There has not been q dav since the first
fatal peach came-July first-that we
have not been surrounded with the VIC
tins of the kRnsas fruit mania.

A little simple knowledge would go
a long way this warm weather in max
ing people more comfortable. Here is
party coming home in disgust on ac-
count of mosquitoes, and there are
thousands of stay-at-homes who find
life almost uncomfortable on any terms
for flies. If people knew it, carbolic
acid is the sovereign remedy for all
their troubles. A few drops evaporated
in room or poured upon the clothes
will keep the winged pests at q safe dis
lance; and if the pure crystalized acid
is used no great annoyance will result
to human beings. Restaurant keepers
ought to know this, and keep the
swarms of flies away from their win
dows, where they settle and buzz TO the
torment of passers. The bad taste of
the water complained of by those who
are trying to make its acquaintance may
be corrected by throwing few scraps
of sheet iron into the water tank or
cooler. This prevents water from de-
composing and keeps it pure and sweet.
1t win even preserve the water from
growing unwho1esome and offensive on

all they need for safety and comfort is

Now, want to let ''the whole world

GERRIT SMITH ON THE PRESIDENT.

Hon. Gerrit Smith, practical phi
| lanthropist, and an independent inf1u-
entail advocate of progress and reform,
has recently issued a circular to the
people of New York upon the temper
ance question, and alludes to the Re
publican party and President Grant as
follows:
sit is but too probable, however, that
the Republican party will sink down
into low chase with the Democratic
party after votes. So far from going
forward and making itself more and
more q reform party, its murmuring
against President Grant, and frequent
signs of disaffection towards him, re-
veal its declining appreciation of even
those great ideas it had already espous-
ed. For to which of the grand under
takings and precious interests of the
Republican party, at the time of his
election, has he been found unfaithful
To not one of them. Identified, there
fore, as he is, with them all, and the
most prominent upholder of them all,
every one of them is necessarily dispar-
aged when he is traduced or underVal-
ued. For the Republican party To turn
its back upon President Grant, is to
turn its back upon its honorable past
upon the past of it's better and more
patriotic days. He remains the same
man he was in those days. He has pro-
ven himself TO be free from the aecursed
spirit OF caste, and true to the equal
rights of all men-Of the red man and
the black man as well as the white man.
He has deferred to the popular will, in
stead of moulding and fostering poll
cy of his own. He has proved with
what entire sincerity it was that, in en-
tering upon his office, he expressed his
desire for peace. The late treaty be-
tween England and America, in the
credit of which he shares so largely, is
the grandest and most suspicious peace
measure the world has ever seen. The
rapidity with which we are paying our
national debt is a high proof of his
wisdom and honesty. And yet, such a
President no very small share of the
Republican party-certainly no very
small share of its leaders-seem willing
to dropi We hear them say that Gen.
Grant cannot be reelected. But if he,
who cOnfessedly did more than any
other man to save the country in the
perils of war, and whose great influence
in peace has all gone to make the peace
more perfect and more blessed, cannot
be made our next president, what Re-
publican can be? Manifestlv, either he
or the Democratic candidate will be our
next President; and if the Democratic
shall be, and shall represent
and be specimen of the bad, very bad,
Democratic party, what then can save
this country from ruin3
