The Virginia Legislature has the right to
consider itself q reform Legislature, 1t has
reduced its expenses to certainly one-third OF
what they have been In past years. First, the
Legislature has been reduced in numbers, the
Senate losing five and the House thirty-three
members. This will leave House of only
100 members. one-fifth smaller than ours.
Virginia contains ninety-nine counties and
Louisiana only fifty-eight; its population is at
least 90 per cent greater than that OF this
State, vet it will in future boast of 8 much
smaller Legislature.
Not satisfied with this reduction. the Legis-
lature reduced the compensation of members
also one-third, and finished its work of reform
by passing an act making its sessions bien-
nial Some of these provisions do net, of
course, go into effect at once. Biennial ses-
sions, for instance, will not be inaugu1ated
until 1879, nor will the reduction in numbers
take place until the next election. The de-
crease In compensation paid members, how
ever, goes into effect at once. The cost of
legislation in Virginia will be, therefore,
scarcely one-third what it has been.

The silver question has found its way into
most Of the State Legislatures. The New
York Legislature took up the Bland bill the
other day, but after discussing 1t at length,
nostponed further consideration of the matter
10 some other time.
The Legislature, however, has been wise
enough to repeal its State resumption act,
passed In 1875. On the other hand, West Vir-
ginia has inaugurated a new movement, by re-
monetizing silver and making IL legal tender
for State taxes A similar bill is now before
the Legislature Of Virginia, and will undoubt-
sdly be adopted 1t.
Some eight or ten State Legislatures have
already pronounced in favor of the remoneti-
zation and two pronounced against it.

The fruit Of Beecher's "hcll'' theory Is at
last ripening No sensational idea or Theory
has ever been started in this country but that,
after short course, it has illuminated in
reign IF insanity Wehave carefully watched
the columns of the Northern papers during
the past two weeks for the account of some
man driven mad by desoting too much OF his
mind to the consideration Of Beecher's "hell'
theory. Strange to say, however, although
month old. this theory has up to this time pro-
liced only one vettable maniac. The unfor-
tunate victim Is George Vroom German
shoemaker, Of New York city. Vroom was
until quite lately an industrious and sober
workman. but during the past few weeks
he has become wild though not dan
gerous mailman According to his story,
after retiring TO bed the other night, ponder
ing over Beechers "hel'' sermon, he was
carried upward In the air by some unseen and
mysterious power. until reaching great
height. there was spread beneath him. before
his gaze he'll. with all of its horrible sur
roundings-a scene of horror too fearful al
most for tire human mind to comprehend.
Lurd flames darted from the midst Of the
bottomless pit and were swallowed up In
thick clouds Of suphurous smoke that
hung around when these parted he could
see the miserable forms of the damned
struggling and wriggling in the fiery pit
and hear them crying out In their agony.
While gazing, spell-bound, at this terrible
sight. loud voice exclaimed: "Go and preach
what you have seen to men" The voice
awoke Nroom, who found himself on the floor,
with Bible open before him at the passage
from st. Luke, "And he sent them to preach
the kingdom of Heaven"
From the moment that Vroom saw this
vision of hell in his sleep he was n mailman.
DESERVING his business, he tramped all over
New York. preaching the doctrine of hell ut
every street corner Last Saturday he in
vaded the residence of one Jacob Helm, a
stranger to him. and preached his "hell'' ser
mon so loudly that Helm called in the police,
and Vroom was carried to the station. On
the way there he continued his sermon, and
even when in jail Iectured to the officers.
From the station he was sent to the Tombs
to have his mental condition ascertained. In
the Tomhs he continued TO rave wildly and
preach to the reporters of hell, that was
burning burning. burning forever and for
ever for the wicked"
Poor Vroom is the first of Beecher's victims
but certainly not the last. Now that the thing

In view of the increase of municipal and
State Indebtedness, and of the expenses
of government, State and city, new taxes have
become necessary. 1t Is impossible now-a-
DAYS to place all the burdens Of government
on real estate-that Is almost completely
sucked dry already by taxation; nor are
licenses and the other resources of ordinary
taxation sufficient to meet the ever increasing
demand of the government for money. The
man, therefore, who can invent a new tax is a
public benefactor and worthy of the greatest
honors the State can bestow upon him. Dir.
Moffett. the inventor of the register, has been
made somewhat of a hero in Virginia, to whom
his little clockwork machine gives an annuity
of half million. But, ingenious and prodnc-
tive as the Motfett Register Is. 1t Is evidently
only the beginning OF an entirely new system
of taxation. glance at France will show q
Thousand taxes collected in that country. in
nowse burdensome, which suffice to furnish
the government with the greater part of its
funds.
The city of Paris, forinstance, receives more
money from taxes wholly undreamed of in this
country than all the receipts of the largest
American city from every source of taxation.

The city owns the gasworks, furnishes the
citizens with gas at cheaper rates than it is
furnished anywhere in this country, and yet
yearly receives this immense dividend from its
gasworks investment. The uonie and street
sweeping taxes furnish 81 100000 year. All
new buildings pay two francs metre on their
frontage and one franc square metre on
their area. There Is also a tax on balconies,
blinds, awnings, bay-windows, signs and
lamps. The tax on hacks, street cars and
cabs furnishes 100000 annually. The item Of
locations yields Sill $40, the larger part being
contributed by proprietors of restaurants for
the privilege of putting chairs and tables on the
sidewalk The chairs In the squares and on
the boulevards yield $4,000 q year, and the
right of posting bills $4,000. The Bots de
Boulogne pays $38,02s for the rent of ice
houses and the grass cut from it, its race course
is rented each year for S3,2sO, while permits to
fish in the pond bring in 500. The Bots de
Vincennes and the Champs Elysee furnish
almost as much from similar sources.
These are only q few of the many taxes laid
in Paris. From things that are wholly neg
lected in the United States the French capital
derives the greater portion Of its revenue; II,
however, these do not suffice to recuperate

The vital statistics of New York city show q
queer difference of vitality In the various races
inhabiting that city. This point has been
noticed before, and nowhere was more appat-
eent than In our great yellow ever'epidemic of
1853. when some races, as the Irish, seemed
peculiarly liable to the disease, and others
were quite free from danger. The Germans
seem to be by far the healthiest race in New
York, and increasing far more rapidly than
any of the others. The death rate among
natives OF the United States was 1903: among
the Irish, 22f24; among the Germans, 15lS;
that is, the rate of mortality among Germans
is So per centrpelow the average, and 40 per
cent less than that Of the natives of the United
States.
The registry of births presents the same
extraordinary features. While the Germans are
under one-sixth.of the population of the, city,
the records show that 81 per cent of the births
registered had German fathers and 81 per
cent German mothers. The natives oansti-
tute GO per centSof the population, but the
native fathers numbered only a7.5 per sent
and mothers 26 per cent. The Irish, who con
stit,rse oneslifth Of she population contribute
on the part of Irish fathers only 206 per cent
per cent. Innarriages the Germans figure
just as conspicuously. Out of 7l29marriages
there were 2a52 German grooms and 1866
German brides the IRish grooms Were only
7o7 and brides SIS; the native element fur
nished 5000 grooKls and 1878 brides.
These Figures make an extraordinary show
ing, showing that can Gowhere else be seen.
The inner workings of 3 people cannot be
seen from the outside, but only through sta
tistics Ike these These figures show such an
extraordinary rate of increase in the German
popuIatiop of New York that Manhattan must
soon lose its reputation of being an Irish and
become German city, for its German inhahS-
ants are Increasing at least 100 per cent more
rapidly than the other races, marrying Of
faner. diving less often and raising more chill
firen.
The natives of the United States appear at
a staudstiil in point of population, marriages
and children among them being eompara-
tiyely infreouent. 1t would appear also that
American men are not of marrying KIND,
as six native born women are married to
every five native born men, theextra woman
beooming the wife of German.
These statistics ought to set at rest the Oft
disc,ssed question whether the Irish or Ger
mans are increasing more rapidly In thus
I <,,.,ntrv. The country is evidently receiving
& !. far greater amount of Teutonic than Irish

WOLVES AROMATIC SCHIEDAM
SOHNAPPS.

We speak by the card when we add our testi-
mony to the host Of others, who admit the SUI
periorty of Mr.. WOLVES AROMATIC SOHIb-
DAM SCHNAPPS over all other kinds OF gin.
From time immemorial medical men have re-
garded gin as one Of the best diuretics; and the
disuse 1t has fallen into Of lAte years must be
attributed rather to the ineriority OF the article
In the market than to the flckleness OF physi-
clans in substituting some other remedy for 1t.
We know there are many physicians who pre-
scribe alcohol as n remedial agent In every
disease, and under all circumstances. II Ia not
our intention, however. to discuss this aues-
ton now, but simply to confess our prediction
for stimulants In very many Diseases and are
certain TINT we have saved many lives by their
administration which would otherwise have
been lost. Mr. Wolfe, we consider, has supplied
a desideratum, the want OF which has long been
felt by the profession land we might also say by
the pubic) in importing an article of gin supe-
rior to any other we have ever tasted. and we
have no hesitation in recommending it. In
several cases which have come under our
charge requiring diuretics we have prescribed

devised and passed it. But II this session
passes without the repeal Of this act, and
without other measures of relief to the State,
the Democratic members of this Legislature
will then in truth have incurred RESPONSE
blity for these things weightier even than
that which rests upon the Radicals, because
more is duo to the State from them, and more
is exneptpd from them.
