WHISKY TAX.

WAsHINGT Nov. THE commits
sioner of the internal revenue bur
eau will rot favor the proposed reduc-
ton of the whisky law from 90 to 80
cents per gallon In his forthcoming
report Commissioner Raum will neith-
er recommend a reduction nor will ne
advise directly against He will state
the amount of revenue devoted from
whisky, and that the proposed reduc-
ton will cut down the amount without
benefitting the producers or consumers.
Revenue officials regard this announce
ment. tor a reduction as inaugu-
rated wholly by the middle men,
who they say would make
all the profit. The whisky trade will
also oppose the reduction, as millions
of dollars worth Of whisky are held
in hand, and 10 reduce the tax would
demoralize the trade badly. The com.
missioner, in his report sent out, states
that this would be tbe effect There
will be a determined effort made to get
congress to reduce this taxing. ii il
said big lobby with plenty of money
will be here in the interest of the
movement. The influence of the trea
ury and revenue bureau will be against
the reduction

Damaging a Reputation

The reputation, originally good of many pro-
prietary a-ticles is in some instances damaged by
that most egregisus of ell business follies, fam
hoyant advertising. The public soon becomes
disguised with an article concerning which state
ments are made with the evident design Of hood
winking it, and is nauseated rather than imposed
upon by wreckless clsims TO impossible merits. Il
has ever been the aim of the proprietors of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters TO make the published
allegations relating TO it conform with reason and
proven facts. That then have succeeded in this
laudable design is shown by the fact that their
rem ,dy is not only popular but widely respected.
Experience without the aid of bombast hiss dem
onstratei that il is tonic of the first order, a
safe and thorough remedy for aud preventive of
malarial diseases salutary anti-spasmodic and
remedy for debility, and a capital corrective of
disorders of the stomach liver and bowels

Dublin is captured city. From the

tains over 5000 soldiers-cavalry, ar
tillery and infantry - besides about
2,000 police, who are soldiers in all but
name, being armed with rifles, swords,
and revolye yers. There are 1000 horses
and sixteen guns. Every sentinel is
provided with twenty rounds Of ball
cartridge. Troops in garrison are con-
fined to barracks, ready to turn out at
a moments notice. Fi-e military mag
istrates and three civil magistrates have
been specially appointed, and the city
has been divided into three districts for
the more prompt administration Of
justice. All these arrangements indi-
cate the seriou' state Of affairs and the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Geneial Sher-
man has submitted his annual report
To the secretary Of war, enclosing Of
Generals Dream and Sacket, and re-
ports fom the commanding gene Is Of
divisions and departments Gen. Sher-
man says, referring TO the reports of
latter: They all show that our compan-
les are too small for efficient discipline
and for economical service. When the
national treasury was poor and loaded
with debt, the armv endeavored to
gracefully submit To overwork, bat now
says Gen. Sherman, they appeal for re-
lief, and it is recommended
that congress repeal that clause
of the existing law which limits the en-
listment of the force Of the army to
$4,000. Considerable space is devoted
to discussion OF the subject Of officers
servants, Gen. Sherman maintaining
tnat no soldier should ever be compelled
to do menial labor without compensa-
ton or without his consent, and he
recommends that the existing law he
repealed or modified SO as to secure
this end. Referring TO the west to be
the fountain source of military educa-
ton in time of peace, i'm his judgment
the military academy at West Point
fulfills its use and can safely be intrust-
ed to prepare boys TO become soldiers
Of the future.

The length OF Human Life.

Reasoning from analogy, men ought
TO live n century, as it seems to be
general law in tho animal creation that
life should be FIVE times the period re-
quired for growth Many of the in
sect tribes mature and fructify in an
hour and die before the close of the
day. A dog grows for two years and
lives for eight; an OK grows for four
years and lives sixteen a horse grows
for five years and lives twenty-five; a
camel grows for eight years and lives
forty II man grows to twenty years
and should live to one hundred. 1t is
4 recognized fact in physiology that tho
longer q child il getting its full growth,
the longer it viii live Early ripe.
early rot" is almost proverb. Chill
dren who grow rapidly are always
weakly. In France the rich men aver
age twelve years Of life longer than the
poor Observation in all civilized
countries shows that the well-to-do
live eleven Yeas longer than those who
have to work for their daily bread.
| Those who can afford to work leisurely
in doors outlive those who have to
work hard out of doors by ten or fif-
teen years and if there was no Sab
bath it is very clear That the poor
would not live as long as they do now.

WORD FROM WASHINGTON.
what is rranspiring In the City of the
Nation From Day TO Day

! WASHINGTON, Nov SIT is said here
4 that Postmaster General James visit 10
New York viii be fraught with the ut
most importance to the public at large.
The postmaster general has .'wayS
contended that mail trains should ex-
| ceed passenger trains in speed, that the
mails should he given the right Of way
an the track rs they are given the way
/ on thnroughfares i'll towns. When the
I Pennsl vaniaS new fast train was put
upon the road General James believed
the mail service should receive some
| benefit from II, and he started Tor New
York yesterday. 1t is said that he con
templates a general Improvement in

! deavor to send out New York mail
out over the New York Central and

THE REVENUES.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Commissioner
Raum, in his last annual report. recon-
mends that the internal revenue tex be
| taken off of bank cpecSs. fric !on
matches, patent medicines, cosmetics,
perfumery, etc, bank deposits, savings
bank deposits, and bank capital. The
amount of internal tax paid on these
articles last year amounted in round
numbers to nearly Sll ,0oo, 900, and if it
| were necessary to reduce the revenue
il could be readily done in this way.
| The increase IN the revenue from spir-
ituous liquors alone III the past four
months, as compared with the receipts
the same period last year is over s., ,000,-
0O0,and funifcrm the increase this year
| will be about S2l 100000. Commission
er Raum thinks Ii possible that \ re-
| duction of perhaps $25 100000 can be
made IN revenue receipts il necessary.
| If the smaller articles in the tariff list,
upon which protection is rot needed.
| to the amount of Sl0 000,0 be stricken
from TIE schedule, the reduction in
revenue Will be S40000,000. as great u
| reduction as the treasury authorities
think could safely be made. Tariff re-
formers cannot consistently make re-
| duction OF the revenues the basis of any
wholesale attack upon the present tar
i'll. If a reduction is made il can come
far more safely 10 business interests
from the internal revenue than from
custom duties.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is learned
from good authority that President
Arthur is seriously contemplating the
question Of superseding District Attor-
ney Corkhil.
