Democratic Attempt to Reduce the Tax
on Whisky.
From the N. Y. Times.

A movement is ON foot to press the
reduction of the tax on distilled spirits,
and delegation of distillers from Ken
lucky is only awaiting the return of the
commissioner CT internal revenue to
Washington to urge such measure
upon him. We are not aware of the
grounds on which the proposition will
be sustained. 1t is certain that the
treasury, with the burden laid upon it
by the last congress of increased ex-
penses and diminished revenue, is not in
condition to remit taxes unless their re-
mission is imperatively necessary for rea-
sons of public'policy. The estimated loss
from the reduction of the tax on manu-
featured tobacco has been fully realized
up to the present time, the diminution in
receipts from that source being nearly
81 100000 during the two months since
the reduction went into force. So far a
good part of this loss has been made up
from an unexpected gain in the receipts
from the whisky tax, and if that is to be
thrown away it is hard to say where the
deficit can be made up. For party that
makes its boasts of superior wisdom in
fiscal matters, the Democracy seems to
have mania for releasing proper objects
of taxation while retaining numerous
costly and unfruitfu. taxes.

GOVERNOR JOHN M. PALMER, of
Illinois, now editor of the Springfield
State Register has spoiled himself as a
Democratic aspirant for the presidency,
by frankly saying, in answer to the
question, that free and fair election in
Yazoo county, Miss, was an impossible
ty, and that the same was no doubt true
of the whole state. The ex-governor
was once fighting Republican, and an
eloquent advocate of freedom; but got
bewitched, some way, and has been
training with the Democrats for the last
FIVE years. Evidently some of his old
blood has got into his veins, and is get
ting the better of his sham Democracy.
Although his name has been seriouly
coupled with possible nomination for
president, yet he doubtless knows that
he made too good record, as Republic
can, at one period of his life, to ever get
the endorsement of the heaven aban-
doned wretches of the Yazoo stripe, who
will dictate the Democratic nomination
next year.-Sheboygan Times

consideration, but warfare and goring is
precisely what we want to keep away
from the barnyard. English farmers,
where herds are probably more precious
and closer confined than in America,
have introduced the practice of unborn
ing cattle by clipping the small projec-
tons IN calves, when half an inch long,
using simple strong pair of shears. It
Is true II hurts the calves somewhat.
There will be little bleeding, but that
VIII stop in an hour or two, and the
calves will soon resume eating.

CHICAGO FAT STOCK SHOW.

The Second Annual Fat Stock Show of
the Illinois State Board of Agriculture was
brought to a successful close on the 18th
ult. The exhibits were numerous and
highly satisfactory, the entries of live stock
numbering between 500 and 600. A herd
of big steers from the Kentucky bluegrass
region; the white-faced Herefords with
their uniform deep red-colored bodies, and
the numerous entries of fancy stock, at
tracted considerable attention. The exhib-
its of hogs, sheep, and poultry were equally
fine. Much interest was manifested in
weighing the cattle or exhibition F.; three
four-year-old steers weighed 2445, 2240.
al66 pounds respectively one two-year-
old weighed 17S6 one ~three-year-old, 2l39;
one yearling, 1919; and one COW, 1886. The
DroOerss Journal says in this connection !:
TO see these cattle weighing as they do at
the ages given, furnishes a hard commenta-
ry upon the enormous waste of time, labor
and pains continually being made in the
production of common scrub cattle. Thou

that Congress will have to pay them for
