termination OF this remnant Of Gods children.
Mr.. Wolff said that there was q material as well
as moral consideration In this question. Out OF
the $5O,Ooo,ooO donated by the government
for this question fully $45,OO0,ooo was
spent on the Indians themselves. Judicious
management could reduce this to $1o,ooo,o 900

Liability or Canal Boats and Barges
to Enrolment and Liccnses-Importan
Decision.
In case Of lioel OF the scow General Cass for
tonnage, in the United States District Court for
Michigan, TO test the question whether
water craft OF the class to which the
scow belongs are subject to the Naviga-
ton laws, Judge Longyear recently held
that scows and similar craft even though
having no means Of propulsion OF their own, are
treated as vessels In various acts OF Congress- and
are therefore subject to the navigation laws Of the
United States. The Judge says :--"By the act OF
July 20, 1s46, canal boats without masts or
steam power are expressly exempted
from payment OF the hospital tax required
OF registered or enrolled and licensed vessels and
also from liability to attachment for seamen's
wages. II such boats without masts or steam
power were not included in the general provisions
OF the law requiring the tax or OF the maritime
law making them subject to attachment,
what was the necessity OF exemption 2
The Judge also referred to the act or
March ., 1891, which exempted RATS, mats, boats
or vessels from custom house fees, as by lmplica-
tion conveying the idea that such craft were
subject to general laws in relation TO
vessels. II would seem from this decision
that canal boats, barges scows and similar craft,
when employed on the navigable waters OF the
Unked states and Of the requisite tonnage, are
subject to enrolment and license or II not so en-
rolled and licensed, are liable to vessel tonnage
tax.

closely shutting lips, and she has q trick

think how much trash l have been guilty
OF sending out into the world" She has
written for the New York Ledger twenty
years, and casually learned from others
that her income was six thousand year.
1t may, however, be'more, or less, She
was suffering from weak eyes the evening
We called, from having taxed them too
heavily during the week. She said they
never had troubled her before.
