i. One Of the most magnificent plans
ever devised by man was the plan de-
vissd by some "sminsntly respectable
gentlemen" OF this State to carry through
u Legislature q bill giving life and .
local habitation to the "Grand Cosmo.
politan Mutual Aid and Eminsntly Re
spectacle Gentlsmsa's Lottery and Be-
nevolent Association" Recent develop
ments have shown that there were moro
wheels within . wheel in the plan
referred to than ever before known.
In fact. in connection with and
linked to. the G.. @. II. A. A.
E. B. G. L. A. B. Association.
like . long string Of saussgss. were rail.
road bills, . water bill, . relief tax bill.
and other bills and schemes too numsr.
ous to mention. The "You tickle me
and I'll tickle you" game was here
played for all 1t was worth. To N IL
was said : "Aid our little scheme and
we'll guarantee that NO obnoxious rail.
road bill shall pass the Legislature this
session." To another : "Join %. and
no Law cutting down water rates shall
trouble you for two years to come"
Promises and tsfy we're distributed with
out limit. and the bill went through the
Legislature as the measles 60 through .
tenement observation-disclosures unsni-
mously.
The genius manifested BY the erigins-
tor Of the abovs.named scheme II Of the
highest order and deserves public praise
and oomm.ndation. In the coming time
he will rank in history with Dickens

stock, . figure 2 with a. many eiphers
following as the printer can put In the

But while man proposes, u Supreme
Court, II II follows . former decision,
will pretty efsotually dispose Of the
scheme prepared to aid the ''sminensly
respectable gentlemen" Of Nevada.

DIR. G.. T. LEWIS, son of u fell
Iow-citizen, Ed. Lewis, Esq, and
himself well-known to the Clarks-
Vile people as Il boy, left New
York over a month ago by an Ant
werp packet steamer for Vienna.
He had very bad weather crossing
the Atlantic. The ship was badly
injured, and lost her propeller. She
had to be towed into Plymouth
harbor, England, from which port
her passengers were forwarded by
train to London, and thence by
steam packet to Antwerp. 1t is an
ill wind that blows nobody good,
and George gained the chance of
seeing the most beautiful harbor in
England, besides his journey to
London through Il highly pictur-
esque country and such sights as he
had time for in London; all of which
would otherwise have been a blank
to him. He is, no doubt, in
Vienna by this time, where the
Emperor was obliging enough to
get up an imperial marriage for his
amusement. George was in luck.

The recently enacted laws, upon
this subject, take effect on the 18th
day of this month. AS there has
been Il good deal of enquiry as to
whether all whisky dealers would
have to pay thesame amount of tax
rs the wholesale dealers, we have
endeaVOred to get a construction Of
the law upon this point. County
court clerk MOseleyf wrote Il letter
to.the Comptroller for Il cOnstruc-
ton of the law, who replied that
the matter had already been refer
ell to the attorney general who had
not yet replied.
The Comptroller however makes
the following ruling, as his con-
structiOn of the law, that those sell
ling by the quart or more, come I'M
der the head of wholesale dealers,
and those less than a quart retail
dealers, aud that all dealers who sell
by the quart or I'VE shall pay a
privilege tax of $3.50 per annum,
Just the same as retail dealers.
Druggists may sell by prescriptions
without paying this tax, but not by
the quart.
