WHAT would the country do for revenue if
it were not for lovers of the weed? Smokers
of cigars alone make. up the following hand
some aggregate of taxes, which others es-
cape. Tobacco and patriotism bear grievous
burthens, as will be seen by the following
official statistics:
ut appears by the Internal Revenue books
that the tax on cigars in some of the leading
tobacco districts for the first six months of
the present fiscal year, was as follows: Third
New York City, $5O.418, 73s; First Califor-
MIA, San Francisco, $20,640, $50; First 1lli-
nois, Chicago, $40, 1854, ,975; Sixth Kentucky,
Covington, So, 1O1, rs; First Missouri, St..
Louis, $8,0S1, $50; First Ohio, Cincinnati,
$40, ,0O6, 800; Eighteenth Ohio, Cleveland,
$4, ,465, ,562; First West Virginia, Wheeling,
$4,000, $50.
A gross sum of 1926, ,9S2, 800 that goes up
in cloud of incense. And yet non-smokers
are not happy.

THE personal fued existing between his
Excellency, the Governor, and the Territorial
Auditor, wakes warmer as the summer SOL
stice approaches. His Excellency, the Gov
ernor, officially designates the Territorial
Auditor as ''tais man," and the Territorial
Auditor abruptly accosts bis Excellency, the
Governor, as Potts." The wrangle between
these two functionaries has little interest for
the general public, except as it illustrates the
boorish treatment of an inferior officer by 4
superior, and the bad taste of the inferior in
retorting in kind. As the controversy now
stands the Governor has undoubtedly the
best of it. His Excellency has shown him
self ungracicus and ungentlemanly, but he
cannot be held accountable therefor, for the
reason that he don't know any better. The
Auditor has been ungracious and ungentle-
manly, and sciu be held accountable, because
he does know better. .r e-. a

In his personal organ of last week, Gov.
Potts prints his notorious message Eetoing
the Railroad bill. climber jim" is prompt
to echo the Governors voice, and ventures to
concur with his Excellency in the avowal:
~ do not 6e!ieue that the bill meets soSth the
honest cieacs entertained By a majority Of the
Legislative assembly," and that ''its passage
acas secured against the better judgment Of a
large majority Of its members" That is to
say, more than two-thirds of the Legislature
were either not in their rational minds, or
they were actuated by corrupt motives, in
voting to submit the railroad proposition to
the people. Such contemplate allusion to
the peoples representatives fairly depicts the
gulf which widely separates the Governor
from the masses in all matters Of public veal
And Timber Jim shouts exultingly, re-
joicing that the Executive, temporarily bill
leted upon Montana, has the brute courage to
thus insult the people!

PEACE hath her heroes as well as her vic
tories. One of the noblest American mari
ners, whose quiet heroism, if displayed in
battle, would have emblazoned his name
high up on fame's scroll, recently died in
Brooklyn, N. Y.-Capt. George G. Stouffer.
He was born in Baltimore in 1922, and was
bred to seafaring life. While command
ing the New York and Liverpool packet ship
Antartic he rescued 25o persons from the
steamship San Francisco, having persisted in
lying by that ill-fated vessel for three stormy
days, during which he could only communi-
cate with the anxious and helpless multitude
by displaying board, on which was written
the words, ''Be of good cheer, will stick
by you" Capt Stouffer's gallantry and hu-
manity were recognized by Congress in a
vote of gold modal and about $4,000 in
money. The city authorities of New York
and Philadelphia also presented him with
gold medals, and his services were recognized
in Liverpool and by the Merchants E1-
changes of New York and Boston.

IT is not many years since Russia was in
tested by the grasshopper plague, and its
broad wheat lands devastated year after year,
as completely as Utah has been devastated
by them during late years. The Russian gov
ernment has enlisted science to aid it in car
rying on the war of determination against
the grasshopper, and has succeeded SO well
that the armies formerly hatched in the
plains have totally disappeared, and but few
of these incubated on the great steppes of the
Ural Mountains ever reach the valleys. The
mode of warfare is as simple as it is effective,
the insects being captured before leaving the
Matching grounds, by small boys with fly
nets. Experienced entomologists are en-
ployed to ascertain the locality where the
grasshoppers eggs are deposited and the time
when incubation will take place. If by these
simple means the grasshopper plague can be
expelled from the land. it would certainly
seem desirable that the experiment should be
tried. It would be yearly saving of mil
lions Of dollars worth of produce, which is
now devoured by this ravaging insect.

Our foreign news budget, giving in detail
the particulars of the recent revolution in
France, by which the deposition OF Ihlers
and the election of MacMahon as his success
sor to the Presidency was brought about,
will be found unusually interesting. A
peaceablc revolution in France is an anomaly
which that nation, under Monarchy or En-
pire, never accomplished, but which the
French people have shown to be possible un-
der the Republic. How this doing away with
Thiers and the taking up of MacMahon will af-
feet the future form ofgovernmcnt of France
it is difficult to say. The new administration,
with Duke de Broglie at the head of the min
istry, would seem to point to Monarchy,
though nothing is now spoken Of except an
advance from the provisional to the estab-
lshcd Republic. We will wait and see.

In Gov. Potts veto message OF the ranroad

IN Gov. Potts veto message of the railroad
bill he says:
81 do not believe it to be just that ma
iority should govern elections where the peo-
ples property is to be voted away"
When news reached Montana OF the pas
sage in the House of Representatives OF Mr..
Clagetts property qualification bill, Gov.
Potts took pains to write letters to gentlemen
of this city, inveighing in strong language
against that measure, asserting that it was
"against the spirit of the age in which we
live;" and that majority was the most
that could be reasonably and safely required
of any community wishing to encourage or
aid in the construction of railroads to the
country. But Gov. Potts is so perfect an
embodiment Of contradictions, that it is dlf1l-
cult to follow him, and it seems little less
than folly to attempt to point out the conflict
ing expressions and declarations which dis
tinguish his voluminous public and private
writings. If there is anything that his Ex-
cclency sticks straightforward to-, except his
pipe and jack-knife, will some one apprlse
us of that fact? We want to do the Gov
ernor cven-handed justice, always.

The Idaho World of late date says the
weather for some time past has been most
favorable for mining operations; and, al
though the mining season opened later than
usual, the prospects are excellent for pros
porous run in the Boise diggings this season.
The usual spring floods have not injured the
bitches, and the snow on the surrounding
mountains is disappearing slowly, assuring
an abundant supply of water for mining

A GENTLEMAN, formerly connected with
the British Consulate in New York city, says
that at sea Captain Hall, the Arctic explorer,
was known to be Of very obstinate disposi-
ton. and was considered to be rigid marti
net. He was bound to achieve his end at any
and all risks, and without consulting the feel
inps of those under him. Brave to reckless
ness, he rarely weighed consequences, and
felt that everybody must share his own san
guine enthusiasm. This disposition would
account for his quarrel with Captain Bud
dington, his sailing at Upernavik,
which was only settled by the interference OF
the Captain of the United States transport.
The gentleman volunteered the following in
formation, which had come to his knowledge
in his official capacity at the British Consul
late. namely: That on his last Arctic voyage
Captain Hall had shipped two Englishmen.
Before reaching Newfoundland these two
men became little rusty. They were afraid
of the voyage and they went into Captain
Halls cabin and told him SO. CHOW, men"
he said, II have treated you well up to the
present, and mean to treat you well to the
end: but come with me. You must, now.
You have signed the articles" The two men
went to work little Modified, but still dis
satisfied. Two weeks after one of them re-
fused to work any longer, and Captain Hall,
drawing his revolver, shot him dead

UNTIL his constitutional doubts are re-
moved, it is safe to say that Gov. Potts will
continue to interpose his objections to rail-
roads. Once it is decided that 'dead
head" pass, issued to Governor, cannot be
taken up and fare exacted, his opposition to
railroads ends. s'

KEEP OUT OF DEBT.

Half the perplexity, annoyance and
trouble that men have in this world is
in consequence of getting into debt.
1t seems to be natural for some people
to buy, and incur obligations without
measure so long as they can a void pay
ing ready cash. Give one of this sort
to buy on credit, and the questions of
payments are matters that he cares but
little about. But whata crop of trouble
springs up from the seed Of debt How
many gray hairs it brings, and how
often it shortens life; some times lead
ing men to commit suicide or murder.
And yet how easy it is to keep clear of
this terrible monster. Every young
man should form Il fixed and unaltcra-
BILE determination, before commencing
his active business career, not to incur
one penny ofindebtness, under any cir
cumstances. Never buy anything I'M
less you have the money to pay for it
at once. Pay noattention to the "splen-
did opportunities, "rare chances"
"bargains," and the like. Such are
only traps set to catch victims. If you
see any thing that you would like to
accept, look first at your money pile,
and mako the answer depend upon
that. Always pay as you so. If you
are short of money gauge your dia-
monds accordingly.

BEHIND THE TIMES.

A prominent Democratic politician Of
THIS city suggested to us, some weeks
ago, that it would be good thing to
buy some tickets for Grants Inaugura-
ton Ball, tho Ath of March, and give
them to some 'IiSely darkics," and
thus surfeit the theoretical Mons rels ut
Washington with tho concrete article.
Alas for our bcnightcd friend-thc
"process' crowd ut Washington would
not have seen the joke ut all. Not
only were niggers and niggercsscs
hohoreu participants in the s'rcjoicings''
OF the occasion, but u lot of nulatto
prostitutes figured there extensively.
of course most of these people would
nave "turned up their noscs'' mt white
women from Greene street or Five
tolnts, but tinted with II little nirgcr
blood, like the dcmoisellcs Rollins
from Columbia, S. c., no questions arc

KILLING LOVERS.

Its fashionable for lovers, very young
lovers in particularly, to kill and DO
Killed. "A mere boy down in Il town in
Maryland recently shot the "girI of his
choice,' in the course of walk homo
With her from school, and because she
had not maao just such response to
his many love letters as he thought
they deserved. Then he ran to the
woods, and after Il time emerged and
threw himself under the wheels of q
passing train. And there ends the story.
But the lesson is n much longer one.
These Juveniles are become too forward
and bold; they are hatefully precoeious;
they attempt to play the parts of men
and women before it is time to put on
the clothes that are the tokens of man
hood and womenhood. That is, the
matter. What they want is to be
severely let alone and not petted and
pampered so much. They want to feel
that they are nothing but children.

THE STORY OF A CAsTAWAY.

Foster, the "car hook" murderer of
New York, whose execution was con-
sun1ated yesterday at the Tombs, has
asad history. His parents, wealthy and
piOus people, took his marriage with n
poor girl some years ago in high dud
geon land turned their backs on him. A
shiftless, aimless, dissi pated life follow
ed, as might naturally be expected in
the case of ono brought up, in the first
place, as too many rich mems sons are,
without special reference to any en-
ployment or business, and then harshly
treated in n love affair by his own pa
rents, who had previously given him
cxtravagant indulgence. Since the COM
mission of the murder, two years ago,
Fosters parents overlooked his offence
against them, and expended in his de-
fence, it is stated, a half a million of
dollars. The publication Of appeals in
newspapers in Fosters behalf since his
conviction, which were intended to
stir up public sympathy in his favor,
cost over a hundred thousand dollars
In this respect the case has been q very
remarkable one, as money has usually
been considered a potent and effective
agency in the administration of New
York justice. Most of the jury which
condemned him, and Il large number of
ciergymen, including the family pastor,
Rev. DIR. lying, besought the Govern
ment to change the death-penalty into
imprisonment for life, but that officer
was -Courier-Jou,mu1.
