the employees of a shop with his

that he could get lot of orders up
stairs, and told him to go up in the ele-

up they stopped it, and the agent was
kept there till he Skinned up the rope
and got out. He was more eloquent
while in the elevator than ever, but his
language was full of theological quota

Important 10 Lumber Jobbers.

The question of the liability Of lum-
bermen and jobbers running camps,
who keep stock of manufactured tobac-
co to supply their men, to pay the tax re-
quired of dealers in manufactured to-
baccO is matter that has been slightly
mixed up. Sometime during the first
half of 1890 the Commissioner Of Inter
nal Revenue ruled that lumbermen who
kept tobacco for the sole accommodation
of their men and did not sell to other
parties, were not liable to the tax. This
ruling, Of course, became generally
known and many may think it still in
force, but such is not the case. In reply
to letter written by Samuel H. Taylor
to the collector of internal revenue Of
the 4th district, at Grand Rapids max
ing enquiry in regard to the matter,
A. H. Smith, chief deputy, writes that
the above ruling was set aside by the
courts and the decision given that the
law should be strictly construed. The
law reads:' Dealers in tobacco shall
each pay five dollars. Every person
whose business it is to sell, or offer for
sale, manufactured tobacco snuff or
cigars, shall be regarded as dealer in
tobacco" This includes lumbermen
and all running camps who keep tobacco
for the accommodation of their men
and it is highly important if they do not
wishto lay themselves lial l, to the pen
atty for violation of the law that they
pay their tax promptly. Mr.. Taylor is
prepared to give all interested full in
formation upon the subject.

RAILROAD NEWS.

The Michigan Central Railroad Conn
pany TAX ke Possession Of the Road and
Commence Running Regular Pas
senger Trains-Names OF Stations
Distances and Time Table.
Tuesday last the Michigan Central
railroad company took forcible posses
sion of the northern division, from Gay
lord to Mackinac City, and Wednesday
announced regular time card for pas
senger trains and commenced running
regularly, so that the long discussed
question as to when the trains would
commence running regularly has been
definitely settled. Tuesday evening the
first passenger train, consisting of en-
gine, baggage car and one coach, arriv-
ed at $50 bringing and leaving at the
different stations the several agents and
telegraph operators who are to manage
the cOmpany's business.
Coming north from Gaylord the sta
tiOns and distances are as follows-Van-
derbilt, S.5 miles; Wolverine, 1872 miles;
Indian River, 29.2 miles; Topinabee. 34.S
miles; Bnshville, 37.5 miles; Mullet
Lake, 41.2 miles; Cheboygan, AZ miles;
Freedom, 57.4 miles; Mackinac City,
63.3 miles. The following is the time
table announced for the present, to
be run on Chicago time

Cest of the Mail Service.

The cost Of the mail transportation
for the year ending June 30, 1881, was
$l9,323,S $50. The cost of the star ser
vice for 1881 was $6.957,355, a decrease
Of 4.97 per cent in cost compared with
the amount expended during 1880. The
appropriation for the year ending June
30, 1882, is 100000, being $942,647, or
1913 per cent in excess Of the cost of
this service for 1881. 1t is Thought that
the estimate for the star service can be
safely placed at 81, ,250.OOO, a decrease of
$3.50, 900 from the appropriation for 1882,
and $292, ,645 more than the rate of ex-
penditure up to June 80, 1881. In this
estimate provision Is made for new SER
vice that may be petitioned for and es-
tablished, after due investigation, look
ing to the requirements of sections in
terested and the postal facilities now
furnished. Had NO orders been made re-
ducing the star service, there would
have been needed at the rate of past in
crease, about 100000 for 1882.

There has been no announcement yet
as to the running of freight trains but
we understand that there is to be one
freight train both ways each day and
that they will commence running regu-

The water tank at Mackinaw City is

numerous and convenient between here
and Mackinaw that it will not take very
long to ballast the road and put it in
the best condition.

Death Of Under Shorif Calvin.

Last Sunday John Calvin our, we'll
known under sheriff, died from that
dread disease consumption after linger-
ing illness. He contracted severe cold
during the last term of circuit court
from exposure on trip to Rogers City
after Fred Denny Larte, County clerk of
Presque Isle county who was wanted as
witness in the Sherburne-Kitchen
Sheriff suit on trial in this circuit. Since
that time he has bsen gradually failing
and for few weeks his death had been
almost momentarily expected.
The deceased was born in Burlington,
vt. Oct. 1, 1S47 and was consequently
"a years of age the 1st of last Oct. Dur
ing the war Of the rebellion he showed
his devotion to his country by enlisting
in Co A. 1876 regiment New York vOlun-
teers and lost an arm at the battle of
GOldsborOugh. He came to Michigan
in 1870 and was married in this state,
for number of years residing at Grand
Rapids, from which place he removed to
ChebOygan In 1877. During the cam
paign of 1880 he worked actively for the
election of Charles II. Mute, the Repub-
lican candidate for sheriff, and upon Mr..
Mute entering upon the duties Of his
office he appointed Mr.. Calvin his un-
der sheriff, in which capacity he proved
an ective an efficient officer. Upon the
removal of sheriff Mute to his new resi-
dence, the latter part of last July. Mr..
Calvin moved into the Jail and took
charge of the care of the prisoners. The
deceased left wife and four small child
rem; also an aged mother, four brothers
and three sisters to mourn his loss. His
remains left here last Monday for Petos-
key on their way to Grand'Rapids where
he was buried, the funeral taking place
from st. James church in that city
Wednesday at 8. A. NJ.
We learn that next Monday their will
be change in the command of the Al
gomah. Capt. Kirby who has sailed her
since she went into commission is TO be
superseded by Capt. Ames, who sailed
the tug Mocking Bird the past season
Capt. Ames arrived Wednesday night.
Just what changes, If any, will be made
ia the rest of the crew is not known.
but we understand Capt. Ames brought
some persons with him who it is pre-
sumed will take subordinate positions
on the boat.

THE DAILY CAIRO BULLETIN SUNDAY MORNING. AUGUST T. 1881

And they have made politics where
there are no politics, nothing in the
world but pure business. The business
is very plain. II is to make New Orleans
CO. To increase the value Of her assets, to
appreciate her capital, to give her cheer
full balance sheet at every years end. There
is no sort of question here on which par
ties can be formed politically. There may
be difference of opinion as to how best to
make the corporation prosperous. Just as
there may be differences of opinion among
the directors OF bank or a railroad COM
pany as to its policy and measures. But
in neither case is it at all question of
who shall be president, or Of republican or
democrat. Every American city IS to-day
manifestation of corruption, speculation,
ignorance and imbecility. And the reason
is they are managed politically, The men
that run them are politicians, trained to
manipulate votes, the growth of caucuses
and primaries. The city government of no
American city represents the wealth or the
intelligence or virtue of the city. The
hood lum element, the hummer element,
the Ignorant element, the penniless element
are represented abundantly. 1t is almost a
wonder when leading citizen, capitalist
large manufacturer, banker or merchant
can be persuaded to be mayor of great
American city. Civic honors are passed
over to men whom no gentleman in the city
would invite to his house. The politician,
and the most offensive and malodor0us of
that bad breed tears the carcass of our
great cities as q buzzard tears at dead
horse. The remedy, and the only remedy,
Is that the business men of New Orleans
and every other city, take matters into
their own hands land they can if they wild
and manage the city on strict business
principles. 1t is not at all rash to say that
there are business men in New Orleans
who could take the city revenues, collect
them, disburse them, police the city, pay
the chool teachers, take care of the streets,
clean them, pay the interest on the debt
and do all thoroughly, and make a splendid
income out of the savings And it is a
self-evident truth to say that, put our ad
ministrators, with their methods, their in
telligence, and their business skill al the
management of the richest railroad, bank,
insurance or manufacturing corporation in
the country, and they would wreck it in six
monthsl Are methods and men, which
would be mad ruin to any other corpora
ton, safe for this one exception, the cityi"

don est spell of weather you ever saw The
question, "to be or not to be" comes very
near to us lust now, and will be still more
pertinent one later on, unless "Comet O.
brings rain. The gardens are parched and
dry, the vegetables withered spectres, pas.
lures are brown, barren wastes, and the
springs are getting distressingly low.
Good wells are valuable property just now,
and are being cleaned out and fitted up
generally-a single one often supplying
water for whole neighborhood.
Every road and cow-path is shoe deep with
dust, the trees are grey with it, and the
air IS so full of it that to breathe is no
longer pleasure.
We have little to eat now and expect to
have less next year. The yield OF wheat
was poor--only halt crop, the farmers
say, and now the fields are so hard and dry
that not furrow can be turned until after
q long soaking rain. Should this state Oh
affairs continue much longer the number
of acres to be seeded must necessarily fall
far short of that sown last year.
Corn will hardly yield a quarter OF a
crop; for, as was aptly said the other day.
