OUR WASHINGTON LETTER,
Internal Revenue Collections TIL
den's Literary Bureau--Pro-
motion Of Sugar Pro-
ducti0n. Etc.

The internal revenue collections for the
last fiscal year show how faithfully the Re-
publican officials have taken care Of their
trusts. The whole amount of internal rev.
enue collected was $113.561, ,610, and the cost
of collection $3,527, 1884. The to1al receipts
were 81, 462, ,9S4 greater than for the previous
year, and yet the cost of collection was
$728, 454 less in 1879 than in 1878. The aver
age cost of collection throughout the States
was trife over three per cent. The eleven
States which seeded paid last year $1l, ,627,-
080 of internal revenue, and the cost of COL
lection was $753, ,621, about 81 per cent, or
more than twice the average cost for the
whole country.
Signs of Tilden's literary bureau are dis
covered here as well as in New York. The
old man is determined to prove, if possible,
that he is not trying to obtain the nomination
and that bar'l is supposed to be handsomely
tapped already.
The gossips have concluded that though
Senator Ingalls, may get ''scotched" by the
investigation into his election, he will escape
Tic consequences.
The Post Office Department is determined
to make the war on the lotteries effective, so
far as to prevent the use of the mails to fur
ther their schemes. In addition to forbidding
the transmission of letters addressed to lot
terry companies, or to agents designated as
such, the question is now under consideration
of including in unmailable matter letters ad-
dressed to those persons or firms who adver-
tise themselves as dealers in lottery tickets.
1t is seen that the latter must be put under
the ban to make the effort success to keep
lottery matters out of themai]s.
Months ago l wrote about the efforts of
the Commissioner of Agriculture to promote
the production of sugar in this country sufti-
ciently to supply its own wants. He has not
ceased in his efforts and claims partial sue
cess. An expert sent to examine the culture
of the beet root and its manufacture into su-
gar as practiced in several places in this
country, has returned, and reports the exper-
iments to be promising. Maine seems best
this work, and in that State ad-
mirable progress has been made. About
!, ,250 acres of root have been grown this
year, and it is expected that the refined sugar
can be manufactured at between six and sew
en- cents pound. A safe outside estimate,
it is said, gives the cost of production and
at $40 ton of the roots, from
which 100 pounds of sugar can be made.
has raised this year about 300
acres of sugar beet, and there are beside
patches in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylva-
MIA, New York, and other States. This may
turn out to be one of the most important
subjects ever Investigated by the Agricultural
Department. PHIL.

Extrema Pnlltanass.

Tehre is such a thing as being too po-
lite. This is illustrated in the following
story by the Boston Transcript:
1t used to be told in Dreiden, in eau
seur's student days, that a range in
the city was one day crossing the great
bridge that spans the Elbe, and accosted
a native with q request to be directed tc
a certain church which he wished to
find. "Rsally, my dear SIR" said the
Dresdener, bowling low, 81 grieve greatly
to say it, but | cannot tell you" The
stranger passed on, a little surprised at
the voluble answer to a simple question.
He had proceeded but a few rods when
he heard hurried footsteps behind, and
saw the same maN running to catch up
with him. In q moment bis pursuer was
at his side, his breath almost gone, but
enough left to say: "My dear sir, you
ask me how you could fad the church,
and it panied me to have to say that
| did not know. Just now | met my
brother and asked him, bat | grieve to.

How to Get Pure Teas.

A delegation of Baltimore tea mer-
chants lately had an interview with the
Chinese embassy at Washington, chiefly
with reference to the Introduction OF
pure teas from China, to shpplant in
American markets those which are cob
Ored or adulterated. The minister said
through his interpreter that the various
brands of tea sold in America and Eu-
rope are unknown to and not used by
the tea in China. They are
specially prepared by the Chinese tea
exporters for the foreign market. They
are colored by the use of chemicals; and
the process, together with the peculiar
methods Of fixing up tea for foreign
markets, not only renders the plant less
~palatable and beneficial, but more ex
pensive. The adulteration and coluring
of teas for the foreign market, he said,
are wholly in consequence of the de-
mand which has existed for such teas;
and the minister expressed the optimism
that If boards of trade in New York
and China would have known the fact
that pure teas are not only better but
cheaper, it would benefit both producer
and consumer. There is, he said, really
only n kind of tea plant, and from
this both the green and black teas are
tsims sn" and black" Do not not
to the Chinese the color of the
tea, as in America, but have reference
to the time of gathering, "green" indi-
to them, rs in "green corn" not
q color, but a state of immaturity.
Yung Wing, who travelled extensively
in the tea districts of China, said, in an
swer to an inquiry, that he saw no rea-
son, excerpt the want Of Chinese labor,
why tea could not be proftably grown
in America. but that it is wholly \
question Of labor. Cinnamon are EN-.
even in Japan to superintend the
work of culture and preparation, and
would be 3 necessary part of the same
work here. Expert Cinnamon would,
however, not come to A merica as long az
