The recent action OF the National
Congress OF Brewers in setting up the
beer interest as the main pillar OF the
revenue system OF the government, is
believed by the Cincinnati Times which
is doubtless informed as to the opinion
of the manufacturers Of whisky, to be
likely to stir up counter action amorg
the dealers in and consumers OF distilled
liquors. The inquiry is being made in
many quarters why it is that alcoholic
beverages should pay go large tax
proportioua,e to their value, while the
fermented productions pay so small
a tax proportionate to their cost.
The men who prefer Bourbon
TO beer want to know why
their toddy should be quite qusdrupled
in cost 10 the consumer, while The man
who takes his lager has his expendi-
ture only slightly iucreasdd by the i'm
posed tax. Since the fermenters and
brewers have accused the distillers and
rectifiers Of acting in bad faith toward
what they deem a common interest
that Of opposition to the temperance
cause.-The latter have been stirred up
to make some very pertinent inquiries
and comparisons.

TIE Senate Committee on Territories
decided on Saturday tore commend the
passage Of the House bill to admit
Mexico as State, and on Monday the
House voted, by a large majority, to
admit Colorado into the Union OF
States. Both OF these Territories have
been banging away unfortunately at
the doors OF the Union for years, aid
it would do them no harm Whatever il
they were detained on the outside for a
little while longer. There is mani
fest injustice in permitting the scanty
population of these sparsely settled
territories to exercise in the Senate Of
the United States as much power as
New York or Pennsylvania or Ohio.

Grants Trump Card.

Cuba is trump card held in reserve.
If Congress does not accept his domes-
tic recommendations, or if the laws it
passes do not answer his expectations,
the President looks to the redeeming
influence of a popular foreign war. He
has got things in such a train that,he
can precipitate a war with Spain when-
ever he chooses. The currency, the
South, and the civil service are sub
jects within the connolrof Congress.
But the foreign relations of the Gov
ernment are exempt from such con-
troll, except in the last resort, and may
be so managed by the Executive as to
leave Congress no choice as to whether
it shall defend the national honor. The
President has got the Spanish question
into such u state that 1t. can be famed
into a flame whenever he thinks it
eXpedient, and he relies on the coun-
try to support him in war in which
| the abolition of slavery in Cuba and
| breaking the yoke of colonial servitu,ie
will be the leading ideas. But General
Grant makes.a stupendous mistake if
he thinks he car play this desperate
| game with success. England has got
her claims for the Virginius outrage
| settled, because herGovernment had
no selfish ulterier objects. Our siipe-'
| riOr claims for reparatiOn have been
suffered to linger, and if it shall appear
in the sequel that the President has
nursed them in order to keep alive q
| preteXt for war to serve party ends, he
will be borne down by storm of pub
lie indignation.--N Y Herald.

Our Little Friend Across the Way.

We are sorry to see our little eve
ming cotemporary taking the HER
AIDS prosperity so seriously to heart.
While we know that the Express is
dragging along without circulation
influence, or even a small share of
public patronage or confidence, we
have avoided all allusion to the fact
preferring not to kick thing when it
is down, even though it's fall is
due to its venality and mendacity.
Still if the ill natured little concern
insists on a comparison of it's puny
self with live newspaper it must be
accommodated. We have never sent
anyone to find out how many quires
the Express works of, nor do we care
TO know We however think it
probable that more copies of the
HERALD are distributed every morn
ing than there are copies of the
Express worked in q week. Our
full kilograms are taken from
the San Francisco Eueniag Bulletin
and the Express does not usually take
any considerable amount from any
source. The facts show that the
HERALD prints nearly double the
amount of matter that appears in the
Eapress. Yesterday morning the
HERALD contained $4,000 ems reading
matter. Last evenings Express was
an unusually large paper, yet it con
tanned but Is, 400 ems-14, 200 less than
the HERALD. We are sorry our little
contemporary is permitting its envy of
the HERALD to throw it into decline.
We are neither jealous nor envious of
the Express. 1t is not in our way.
The HERALD regards the little affair
with no more concern than the OK did
the gnat on his horn--does not feel its
presence and will not know of its
departure.

WASHINGTON, December 2lst.-In
the House, Dawes reported the refusal
of Irwin to answer certain questions
relative to the distribution of the
money procuring the subsidy and de-
sired the arrest of Irwin for contempt.
The question was discussed. During
the discussion information was re-
ceived that Irwin was no longer in
the custody of the Sergeant-at- Arms,
and was preparing to leave the city.
Dawes motion was agreed to. 1t was
ascertained tonight that Irwin had n
long interview last evening with the
agent of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company and on Friday night he was
closeted with representative parties
inimical to the present management
of the Pacific Mail Company. The in
view is alleged to have been very
significant, in view of his refusal
to answer the questions of the commit
tee.

THE Los Angeles and Pacific Rail-
. road Company held q meeting yester-
day and decided to make an immediate
preliminary survey of their road. The
line of this road is directly through
the lands of the Centinela Land Com
pany and will reach the water at the
SaltfWorks, where short wharf will
give them water of sufficient depth
for large sea-going vessels. IL is pro-
posed to connect this road with the
Main Street Railroad at the western
limits of the city and run the ears in
and out of the. city by horse power.
As the Los Angeles and Pacific Rail
road Company is largely composed of
the Centinela Land Company, who
will be greatly benefited by its con-
struction, the prospect for it turning
out something more than q railroad
OH paper is very favorable.

Another Road to the Water.

It is stated on good authority that
the lighterage by which we receive
our goods costs Los Angeles $500, 900
per annum. This expense, whatever
it may be, is incurred by the people
the consumers. The freight business
of Los Angeles has become so great as
to be beyond the power of the railroad
we now have connecting us with the
water, to perform it. Our rapidly in
creasing trade will soon equal the ca
pacity of two more roads to the water.
These facts are impelling our people to
undertake the task of building a road
from this city to the coast, striking
the water at point about five miles
west of the Sea Side House, where it
is said wharf fourteen hundred feet
in length will reach a depth OF twenty
one feet of water at low tide. A lady
Mrs. LUcAs-has donated the COM
pany large tract of land the point
where the road will touch the watel
which will he laid off into town lot.

terprise is the clos Angeles Rail

is President of the company. We are
assured that this company mean BUSH
ness, that they expect to be aided by
and cooperate with the people and
that they intend to commence opera
capital stock is taken. The success
full carrying out of this enterprise will
be of immense benefit not only to the
people of Los Angeles, but to those of
the entire valley. If we had half a
dozen wharves constructed to deep
water at as many different points, and
railroads running out into the valley
from all of them it would be so much
better for the country and the people.

Panamtnt.

Mr.. w. b. CALDWELL arrived in this
city yesterday, four days from Pana-
mint. He reports the weather so cold
that ice and frost are common in the
morning. The Jacobs mill had been
running about an hour when he left.
There were great many people at
Panamint, and the arrivals largely
exceeded the departures. There was
no actual realization from the mines,
though money was quite plenty and
times lively. The town of Papamint
now contains about fifty houses and
others were going up as fast as mate
rial could be obtained. Lumber was
WORTH twenty five cents per foot.
Wild Rose District, ten miles north OF
Panamint, was attracting good deal
of attention. The lodges were numer-
Gus and many were locating claims
The new Coso mines, some forty miles
east of south from Owens Lake, hat
caused great excitement. BEAUDR1
and BELsHAw had just returned from
the district and pronounced the ledgei
