THE Democratic papers have had much to
say about the vast reduction in governmental
expenses which the present Congress has ef-
fected. They claimed as much as $40, ,000,-
600 when they began to boast, but when last
heard from were compelled, in the light of
hard, plain facts, to call it not more than
eleven or twelve millions. And now they are
confronted by table prepared in the Office Of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
which shows that, owing to the maladroit ac-
tion of Congress, to its ignorance and unwar-
rantable interferences, the receipts from To-
ternal revenue taxes for the present year will
be S10,0O0,0O0 less than they were estimated
at. Commissioner Raum declares that letters
received from various collection districts indi.
cate that the decline in the receipts is not
owing to the stagnation of business, since
there are indications of revival of trade, but
to the agitation of Congress in relation to the
tax on whisky and tobacco.

sessro on the no.lon waiter Girls.

From the Boston Transcript
There is no more striking likeness OF
chaos than a table set by a girl in most
Boston public dining-rooms. The cream
pitcher is at one end of the festive board;
the sugar bowl at the other; the napkin
lies half in half out OF the meat dish, and
soaks up the gravey; the butter Is a yard
away from the would-be-dinnor, and the
bread plate occupies the place that should
be held by the dinner plate. As for the
castor, knife and fork, potatoes and salt,
they are dropped in anywhere, PRO
miscuous like" and it is not easy to refrain
from rising and deliberately setting the
table over again. Even II all the girls be
duchesses in adversity, and do have to
submit to u great deal Of impertinence
from rude women, there is no reason why,
having undertaken to be walters, they
should not do their work as well as men.
They can host prove that they are ladies
by surprising those who claim 10 be good
servants.
