Our Washington despatch gives an

Our Washington despatch gives an
account of queer controversy be-
tween the Government and the liquor
dealers and others, in regard to the
operation of the act of March 3, 1895,
increasing the taxes on spirits and
tobacco, 1t is contended by the In.
ternal Revenue Bureau that the act
went into operation at midnight March
?, while the dealers hold that il did
not take effect until signed by the
President. The Circuit Court has
decided against the Government, and
the precise time at which the bill was
signed Is now established. 1t is not
likely that so plain matter can be
reversed on appeal to the Supreme
Court. The amount of the liquor
Withdrawn during the disputed inter-
val could not be very large, According
to the Commissioners report about
1900, 600 gallons were withdrawn
during the months of January and
February, and he says that under the
terms of the act of March 3, 1875, over
7,0OO, GOO gallons which weresleft were
allowed 10 remain in bond for a year,
subject to the old tax of seventy cents
per gallon. Had this liquor been
subject to the increase, it would have
paid 81 400, 600 into the Treasury
Judging from the statements of the
Commissioner, it is not easy to see
what liquor can be in litigation, but
the precise point of time at which the
law went into operation might affect
other interests.

No SATISFACTION, No Pathfinder
the present Ordinance, the bills of the
garbage contractor must be endorsed
by the President of the Board of
Health before they can be approved of
by the Auditor. Last month, a com
plant came in from the First Ward,
in regard to failure of the contractor
to remove garbage, and the President
did not endorse the bill until the COM
plant was attended to. Then another
complaint came in from the Ninth
Ward, when the President cancelled
his endorsement, and the contractor
got no money last month. This Is
published merely to show that the
contractor suffers as we'll as the people
when the garbage is not promptly re-
moved.

This old and reliable company. has
opened an Office in this city.
This Company appears to be removed
beyond the contingency of real disas-
ter. 1t may suffer losses, it may en-
counter misfortune against which no
human foresight could provide; sus-
picions may be engendered by rival
companies, but she goes calmly on in q
line of duty laid down by itself, and
will never abandon it if it takes the
last dollar.
Its losses by the Chicago fire were
about 1000, coo, every dollar Of which
was paid before maturity. Hard upon
this, was the great Boston fire, bring
ing loss of$1, 60QaoOO; no man had to
wait an hour for his money. Every
one who wants insurance is concerned
to know where to look for that whic his
sAFE-which after all is the cheapest
insurance. We feel perfectly safe in
saying that for insurance that is safe
there is no company ahead ofthe Act
