AN ABSURD MEASURE PROPOSED IN Con-
GRtss.-Mr Smith, q Representative from
North Carolina, introduced bill yesterday in
the House to repeal the internal revenue tax
on whiskey and tobacco. There is little
chance Of such q measure passing Congress,
and we only notice its introduction to show
its absurdity and the utter lack of statesman
ship in some of the men sent to Washington.
Of all things whiskey and tobacco should be
taxed to the utmost that they will bear and
that will admit of the revenue being collected.
They are entirely luxuries and their use
injurious to the people Great Britain raises
the greater part Of her revenue from few
such articles If the revenue could be hon.
estly collected it would be better to increase
than to diminish the tax on tobacco and
whiskey.

Without the aid of labor-saving machines q
newspaper like the HERALD could not be fur
nished daily to the public with the rapidity
and cheapness which are essential quail
ties of news supply to-day. Whenever an
invention is perfected which promises
greater efficiency in the mechanical de-
partment Of newspaper the HERALD
hastens to place it at the service of
the public. Some years ago we adopted
the Hoe printing press which excited wonder
and admiration by the rapidity and accuracy
with which it turned out thousands of printed
sheets by the hour. But the performance of
even SO modern an invention is surpassed by
that of an improved Bullock self-feeding
printing press, which we put into use with
good results yesterday. This machine prom
Uses to do double the work of the Hoe press.
It prints quadruple sheet Of the HERALD at
one impression, and needs the attendance of
three men only, while the Hoe press requires
fifteen to work it effectively. The Bullock
press is fed from a web, the sheet is printed
on both sides, cut off and deposited on the
receiver perfect HERALD. Twenty thousand
papers can be printed by the hour. This
wonderful machine is remarkably compact,
occupying about one-fourth the space
of the Hoe press. Every portion
Of the machinery is under the eye of the press
man, who can easily detect and correct any
irregularity. In addition to its other good
qualities it is solid and simple in construc-
ton. There are only nineteen gear wheels, SO
that the danger Of its getting out of order is
very small The process of saturating the
paper is very simple, and the delivery of the
printed sheets is effected with precision
not attained in any other system. Single or
quadruple issues of the HERALD can be printed
at pleasure, and every paper deposited on the
receiver is counted by register. If the Bull
lock press stands the test of time and proves
as efficient as our experiments give reason to
expect it will effect q considerable reduction
in the cost of printing 1t is calculated that
the HERALD will save fifty thousand dollars
yearly in the cost of printing by substituting
it for the older printing presses.

the race of children abandoned to the streets
will grow up with predatory impulses and with
the obvious understanding that society is the
common enemy.
For an occasion such as is now before US
the usual machinery of charitable aid is made
quate, mainly because it is scattered and ftful
in its operation. Our public provision for
charitable service, though large, is well nigh
worthless for any application to the imme-
date wants, because so much of it as is not
swallowed up by the army of employees that it
sustains goes to those regular paupers who
inhabit the institutions year in and year out.
Few of the casually wretched can possibly be
supplied from that source. 1t is to be appre-
hended that the large amounts given through
the many private organizations now devoting
themselves to the needy are of less service
than they might be if spent in the prosecu-
ton of some common plan. Voluntary char
ity, inspired only by the different purposes of
the various volunteers fritters away force
that, applied with some general aim, would
accomplish great results. This charity re-
minds us of the French system of carrying on
war by accidental spurts Of energy from little
parties of franc tireurs, which utterly threw
away power that, organized and poised with
military intent, would have bee. useful.
without presuming to declare exactly what
general plan of assistance to the poor should
be determined upon and carried out we may
at least remind the public that the general
opening of soup kitchens has operated with
good effect in many cities hitherto; and by
the establishment Of such places tho public is
