levied a tax OF " on high wines for
the purpose of revenue. She soon
changed it to 80 cents. More whisky
was made under the S2 tax than is
made to-day under a 80 cent tax, yet
the revenue is greater under the
lighter tax, as it is now generally paid
and little attempt made to evade it.
Now with regard to sewering Mem
phis, | believe that a thorough system
Of sewers, such as st. Louis has,
which would thoroughly relieve the
resident portion of the city Of seep
water which permoates our cisterns,
privies and cellars, causing poisonous
gases to arise during the tropical heat
of June and July; such system l
believe would relieve us of yellow
fever, if anything would. And to carry
out such a system | would favor such
a tax as would be most practical in
its operation to carry out the end
desired. | would even be willing to
favor a tax as high as one-half or
three-quarters of one per cent. for
term of years, which l am satisfied is
the greatest limit which the people
can pay under the great load of tax
alton for other purposes.
With regard to the matter of cost
for the purpose of information | spent
half hour with the superintendent
of sewers of this city. He gave me
a great deal Of information, from
which | learned that St. Louis
has been many years building
her sewers, her city is not more
than half severed, has l8S miles
in operation, has spent S6,OO0,0O0;
seven square miles are severed at a
cost of S9O0,0OO FER square mile. 1t
is paid for by two kinds of taxes one
a general tax for main sewers and the
other special tax against the proper
ty, to pay for connecting with the
main sewers. The average special
tax on each piece Of property aver
aging twenty-five feet front is $3.50 to
$500, besides the general tax for
main sewers. He smiled at the idea
Of sewering a city in a year, and es-
pecially city like Memphis Of such
vast proportions and limited wealth.
ST. Louis has only severed the densely
populated portion of her city, and
this is not the portion Of Memphis
which is most in need of them. From
this interview | learned enough to
satisfy me that any system of sewers
which will be of any practical beueft
to Memphis will cost more than one
million of dollars. Any system which
will not relieve the soil of seep water
will be money thrown away in Mem
! phis. The people of st. Louis have
shown the highest regard for the
citizens of Memphis in their midst
and are strongly in favor of theil
+ locating permanently here. Not more
! than two or three will remain, but
return to excessive taxation in Mem.
! phis may cause many to eventually re
turn to stay. Business in all depart.
ments is better than it has been fol
; years. We are all expecting in very
few days to return to old Memphis
when the great hustle of business ac-
: tivity which will set in will cause the
history of the past three months to be
almost forgotten. And until then
adieu. HARLOW Dow.

Emperor William on the Sab
bath.

BERLIN, October 25.-The Protest
ant Synod of Prussia has passed a
resolution condemning the practice of
holding military reviews on Sunday.
Emperor William has been highly in
dignant at this action of the Synod,
and has hotly rebuked the members.
They should remembar, he tells them,
that He who instituted the Sabbath
has declared that the Sabbath was
made for man, and not man for the
Sabbath, and that the Puritanical and
Calyinistic conception of Sunday as a
day of modification and penance is
altogether alien to the traditional
feelings and tastes of the German
people.

Jones, OF New Han, pshire.


New Hampshire politicians say that
ex-Representative Frank Jones, Of
Portsmouth, who is possessed Of great
wealth, is quietly laying his plans to
run for Governor Of New Hampshire
next year, and that he intends to spend
money freely IN order to bs elected. He
is warm personal friend of Speaker
Randall, and with an eye to the main
canoe contributed large sum Of money
a year ago 70 aid in Randall's election.
Personally, Mr.. Jones is popular man,
but while in Congress he gave great
ofense to large number of Democrats
In his district, mainly'fshermen living
along the New Hampshire sea coast
south Of Portsmouth, by discriminating
against them in the distribution Of
public documents. lie had fifteen
hundred copies Of Congressional Direc-
tory bound in cloth with gilt edges,
which he sent to the better class Of
Democrats in his district. Every Dem
ocrat who did not get copy regarded
Il as slight or affront, and when the
next election came around Mr.. Jones
wisely declined to be a candidate again,
and thus prevented the disgruntled
Of his own party from slsugh-
tering him at the polls, as they certain
" would have done.

scott Revival.

A considerable degree of interest still
attends the protracted services at Scott
church. Nearly thirty persons thus
far have sought peace in God, the most
part of whom have professed faith in
Christ. Last evening. five knelt at the
altar of prayer, duplicating the devine
mercy.
The meetings will be continued next
week, and amid the holy memories Of
the Christmas season, it is to be hoped
that the members will show the appre-
citation Of Christ by consecrating them
selves to his services. The public are
invited TO attend these meetings and
help in this good work.

for their unique designs and fine orna-

Bile for present. Those not inclined
TO purchase are invited to step in and
