AT the recent Brewers Congress, at Cleye-
land, Ohio, the fact was prominently developed
that the beer interest in the United States IL
one OF great magnitude-even greater than that
of the distilleries; and that we drink more beer
than do the inhabitants of the entire North
German Confederation. This will doubtless
surprise many, but figures "cannot lie,n and
they show that in Germany in 1866 the con-
sumption of beer was 2l.23 quarts Der head.
and that in the United States last year the con-
SUMPTION VI the same beverage was 25.4I quarts
per head. 1t is true there is difference of six
years in the dates given, but il is unlikely that
Germany has caught up with Us yet, as her
population increases but slowly, while our own
Is augmented by millions every few wears.
Among other statistics brought out at the con-
yention were the following:
In loos the North Germans consumed 4.,s2-
zol barrels OF beer against about 5. SOC 4oo
barrels consumed here. The number OF brew
cries In the United States for the fiscal wear
ending june 80, 1872, was SOL, against q 900
Ior the preceding year. The amount of beer
ana ale made during the year was s,OO9 96s bar
RES, against ,l59, 40 barrels for the wear be-
iore: The products of distilleries IL estimated

The efforts of our government TO effect the
return OF the KickapOo Indians. now in Mexico,
to the United States, is doubtless a source of
considerable surprise to many in view of the
trouble, expense, and loss of life sustained
yearly in paciEcatlng the savages of the far
west The matter is easily explained. however.
The kiekapoos formerly lived on a reservation
in the United States, and, being natural thieves
and depredators, emigrated to Mexico some
years ago, after having picked up enough of
international law to know that they could raid
Texas from their new stamping ground when
ever they chose to do so, and, crossing the Rio
Grande, would be shielded from punishment
for their outrages. In connection with Mexican
banditti they have continued to make these
raids almost monthly ever since they moved
across the Rio Grsnde, and il was on their last
predatory excursion that Colonel Mckenzie
goaded to desperation by their insolence, forded
the river with his cavalry, and, pursuing the
robbers and murderers, cut many of them to
pieces in their own camp. The government
simply desires to get these Indians back on their
reservation in the United States in order that
hereafter they can be kept under the eye Of the
military and promptly punished tor any out
RACES which they may commit. Possibly the
late drubbing they received from Mckenzie
will shake taeir confidence in the power of
international law to give them immunity from
punishment for their outrages, and induce them
10 accept the overtures of our government.
