The author of the "People's Drug
Store" and other romances, finds col
umn of last nights Tribune at his ser
vice, to give US taste of his quality
We feel greatly eggrieved at his saying
that he "has no CONFIDENCE either in our
honesty or integrity" Some dozen
leading citizens of this place have pretty
near the same opinion of the chief con-
tributor to the Tribune of last night.
Any man of ordinary modesty would
have kept quiet after tho verwhelming
rebuke he received at the polls, last No.
vember; nor does the fact tnat three in
telligent juries refuse to convict any
body on his evidence. and that of his
pal" seem to bring him to his senses.
We have already stated that he is bill
of expense to the county and will cite
the fee book of Mr.. Justice Se,ye's
court to prove that an expense of at
least seventy five dollars additional was
fastened on the county there yesterday.
in addition to the three trials that took
place before Judge Lewis. As far as
our personal animosity towards him,
we have none. There can he no quar-.
els for us with a man whom the Chief
Justice accused of perjury and whom a
dozen of our best citizens decline to be-
iieve under oath.

Should be Abolished.

One of the greatest needs of the i'm
coming Congress. elected specially up
on q reform platform, is the entire abol-
ishment of the so-called Internal Reve-
nue. department of the Government.
While the war lasted, the thing was
we'll enough but now the national debt
is greatly reduced and this internal rev.
enue tax ON many industries serves
only to enable foreign manufacturers to
undersell those of our own country and
stifle local enterprise.
The returns of the Internal Revenue
bureau for tie States of Texas, Ar
kansas. Mississippi. Florida. Georgia.
Alabama and the Carolinas, show that
the expense of collecting the Internal
Revenue in those States. exceeds the to-
tai receipts by several thousand dollars
Under an honest administi alton, such
an institution would be abolished at
once. as Improbable for the country;
but for the sake of keeping up party
machinery and supporting the lackeys
of the administration. the Internal
Revenue is kept up, year after year.
Another Objectionable feature of the
concern is the way in which its work
ings are conducted. Its officers affect
to themselves powers not only OF ar
rest and seizure, but of trial as we'll
The way in which men holding posi-
