Internal Revenue Report.

Internal Revenue Commissioner Raum re-
ports that during the past fiscal year SIPS,
ISL ,9l6.l0 of internal revenue taxes have
been collected and paid into the treasury
The report states that during the past four
years a well sustained effort has been made
to suppress the Illicit manufacture and sale
of whiskcy and tobacco in a number of dis
tricts in the Southern States. where for many
years these practices have been rife During
that period 1874 Illicit stills were seized
1,70S persons arrested for illicit distiilery
% officers and employees killed and -
wounded, while enforcing the law. Frauds
upon the revenue have been greatly reduced
and violent resistance to the law has practical
ly ceased in all these districts, except tina
second district of Georgia. Violations of
the law and the spirit of resistance have not
been voluntarily abandoned, but have been
suppressed and subdued by earnest and de-
termined efforts of the government, sustained
by the courts. Continued effort in this
direction will in II short time establish the
supremacy of the law in all these districts.

An advertisement of the State Normal
School at Pennington appears in the Journal
this morning. We take pleasure in COM
mending this excellent institution which is
doing SO much for the educational interests
of Maine. A thorough training is a neces-
sary discipline for teacher, and we think
the commonwealth to which we belong and
pay taxes can expend portion of its revenue
in no better manner than in providing a train
ing school for its teachers. The Western
State Normal School has now completed its
sixteenth year, having gone into operation
August 81, 1864. Thus far it has confined
its work mainly to the English branches, the
length of the course, two years. precluding
the study of the languages and higher mathe-
mt Pennington it was voted to add n
third year, which shall be open to those who
have completed the two years course, and
optional The studies to be taken up in the
third year are not yet fully determined upon,
but will include Latin with mathematics,
physical science and English literature con-
tinued from the lower course. This addition
to the facilities of the school has been the
one thing its friends have felt needful for
some time past, and this granted, the Wes-
tern State Normal School of Maine will
stand on an enviabe footing among the Nor
NAL schools of the country.

CLEVELAND, August 4. The soldiers mon

with imposing ceremonies. Speeches were
made by Congressman Congcr. Ortiz and Har
rison and others. General Garfield said
llow-citizens-I cannot look upon a
great audience in Ashtabula county, rccog-
nizing so many old faces and old friends.
without at least making my bow tn them and
saying goodbye before | go. | cannot either
hear such a speech as that to which | have
just listened without thanking the man who
made it and the people who enabled him To
make it, for after all no man can make Il
speech alone. 1t is the great human power
that strikes upon a thousand minds that
acts upon him and makes the speech. 1t is
made out of him by YOU and by what is Won
der in your square, and if | had time to stay
long enough these facts with you might make
one out of me. Ideas are the only things
in this universe that are constant IL they
are true. we build monuments to them. We
hold reunions not for the dead, for there is
nothing on all the earth that you and | can
do for the dead. They are beyond our help
and beyond our praise. We can add to them
no glory and we can give to them no immor
tally. They do not need us, but forever and
forever more we need them. The glory that
trailed in the clouds behind them after their
sun had set, falls with its benediction upon
us who are living, and it is to commemorate
the Immortality of the ideas for which. they
fought that you assemble to-day and dedicate
your monument, that points up toward the
God who leads them in the glory of the great
world beyond. Around these ideas, and
under the leadership of the Immortality Of
these ideas, we assemble to-day reverently to
follow, reverently to acknowledge the glory
they achieved and the benediction they left
behind them. That is the meaning of an
assemblage like this, and to Join in it to meet
you, my old neighbors and constituents, to
share with you the memories we have heard
rehearsed and the inspiration that this day
points to, that this monument celebrates, is
to me a joy. and for it am grateful to yon.

hardly greater than his lack of clothes. Mr.

ABOUT seven o'clock Yesterday mornin,
Tic local OF the Journal, in company with
another young gentleman, were seen weudinp
their way towards Lake Maranacook in Eas,
winthrop in an open buggy. A look of sat
lsfactlon was depicted on their countenances
"ccasioned' no doubt, by the anticipation of
glorious time at the regatta twas lit
tie cloudy when the young men started, but
not raining. They had been on the road but
half an hour, when 10! and behold, the
heavens began to leak. A telegram flashed
over the wires to the different stations on the
M. c. r. R., announcing that the re-.
gatta would be postponed until to-day
(Ihursday). But how were those two
young men to know that, when they
were six or seven miles from their
destination, and having no means of finding
out until they reached Winthrop They
drove on in blissful ignorance of the change
in the programme, probably discussing the
different races, planning how they should
lay their wagers and how they should hedge
their bets in case their favorites showed
signs Of losing their respective races. When
they reached the Lake they were confronted
with the omneus telegram, and, with blank
looks on their faces, they reseated themselves
in their open carriage, and retraced their
steps home, with the doeful consolation that
they would make up for their ducking to-day.
