THE KANGAROO COMMITTEE.

The Blaine Investigating committee
through the assiduous efforts Of Senator
Ednunds, has fallen heir to the 100000
appropriated by congress last winter; and
the method was this; When Mr. Teller
called at the Treasury department to ar
range about the payment Of his drafts, be-
fore starting for New Orleans, he was sur
prised to find that the officials there enter
tanned different views from himself about
their authority to pay these drafts, they as
sertlng that the money was not available
for his committee. Upon referring tbe
matter to the First Comptroller Of the
Treasury, he decided against the chairman,
but when Senator Edmunds appealed to
him, he re.opcncd the case. Whether he
has rendered final decision or not, does
not matter, for subsequent reference to
the department Of Justice, brings Il de-
cision from Acting Attoncy-GCncral Phil
lips in favor of the committee, and acairst
the Treasurer. AS this is the "consumma-
ton devou,edly to be wished for" BY the
"stalwarts.' it is intended to start the COM
mittec at work without delay. Senators
Teller, Cameron OF Wisconsin, and Kirk
wood with Senator, Garland and Bailey,
Democrats, expected to leave for New Or,
leans, Tuesday night. This committee hIsI
had a good deal Of fun made Of it even byI
the Republicans. It's chairman, Mr.. Teller
is called the "Uneypected" chairman, and
the whole committee is called The Kan

THE belI-pUnch system Of liquor taxa
ton adopted in the Sate Of Virginia, has
failed to produce the results predicted. It
was believed that it would produce reve-
nue. Of at least $G000J0, or four times the
sum ordinarily realized from the license
system. 1t has turned out, however, that
notwithstanding the vast increase Of labor
and expense involved in the introduction
and maintenance Of the system, it has pro-
duccG only $4,000 more, in whole year,
than was formerly derived from the license
system. The explanation offered is no
doubt the correct one. 1t is that there is n
strong sentiment against the use Of the
punch and retail liquor dealers who neg
lect to rig the bs,i are not prosecuted.
This OF course is an evil for which there is
no cure; and number Of the leading jour.
