The old social traditions about the
Presidency have suffered a good many
shocks of late years, and, apparently,
Mr.. Arthur proposes to give them the
finishing blow. Till Grants day the IN
written law Of the White House forbade
its occupant to accept an invitation to a
private residence. Grant broke the old
rule aud Hayes went still further by not
onlv accepting invitations to private
dinners, but by going out to mSke calls
on people he wished to consult, instead
of summoning them to the White House.
Arthur has capped the climax by calling
on the wife of one of his Cabinet during
her weekly reception on Wednesday,
one of those receptions which anybody
i privileged to attend. However, the
new President makes up for his innova-
ton in this direction by introducing
more vigorous rules about the admission
If people to the White House and about
the hsnd.shaking nuisance, so that per-
haps, he is averaging things.

Among the many propositions which
the high tariff adherents advocate IN
order that protection may be maintained
for the benefit of the few at the expense
the many, is that the tax on whisky,
from which so much of the surplus
revenue" realized by the country last
year was derived, should be removed.
Such a step would be an set of the most
fragrant injustice, for not only is
it patent that the revenue should
be derived rather from such articles as
spirits and tobacco, which are for the
most part luxuries, than from articles of
prime necessity, but the price of whisky
would not, in the slightest degree. be
lessened thereby, since experience has
shown that drinkers of whisky will al
ways purchase it at distillers' and deal
ers' figures, and that distillers and deal
ers will always demand for it the high
est prices which they can receive. To
remove the tax on whisky, therefore,
would not help the people, but would
simply be taking that much money from
the public treasury and placing it in the
pockets of distlllers and whisky dealers.
The Chicago Tribune, recently discuss
ing this subject treats it sensibly and to
the point Speaking of the efforts now
being made by the whisky men to secure
a repeal of this tax, it says: "The i'm.
pertinence of the position taken by the
whisky men is notably increased by the
facts that there is still a national debt
amounting to $4,000, 900, 900, that the
people of the United States are Cypress.
ed by excessive taxes on many of the
necessaries Of life, that direct tax on
farms and homes is levied 10 support the
schools, that every government in the
world maintains an excise on the man
ufacture of whisky, that any abatement
in the whisky tax would go to the dis
tillers and dealers and not to the consul
mers, and by number of other circum-
SldLCGS hulCu SuOUIu always udhC
whisky the very first thing to tax and
the very last thing to release
from taxes so long as taxation
shall be necessary to the support of the
government. 1t will be interesting to
note what influence the whisky lobby
shall be able to exert by appealing to
the private ear of Congressman; but,
in the meantime, every member of Con-
gress may rest assured that the PROPOSE
ton to reduce the whisky tax will be
condemned by nine people out of ten,
including even the whisky drinkers, and
that every Congressman who lends him
self to such a scheme will be subjected
to suspicion of improper influence,
whether from a desire to favor a class
which has earned a reputation for dis
honesty by fraudulent evasions of the
tax, or with the purpose of saving ex-
cessive items of tax on other products
for the benefit Of some other special
class"

A suit has recently been brought in
New York to recover a tax levied by
that State on immigrants. The Legisla-
ture last spring passed an act to the
effect that an alien was an import sub
ject to the inspection laws of the State,
and providing that the persons and eff
fects of all persons arriving by vessel at
that port be inspected, and such as were
allowed to land and remain were to pay
a tax of 81 so a head. 1t was claimed
that this procedure was legal. as the
United States Constitution permits q
State to levy tax on imports and ex-
ports when such tax is necessary for ex-
ecuting the inspection laws of such
State, and hence by making the alien an
import subject to inspection the afore-
mentioned tax might be collectable.
Judge Blatchford, however, has decided
the law unconstitutional.

Ex-Governor Vance, Of North Caro-
lima, spoke forth the words of solid truth
and soberness in the United States Senate
Wednesday when he said ''the burdens
Of a high protective tariff fall with the
greatest weight upon the agricultural
classes, and 50 do more to retard
the growth and impair the wealth
Of the South than any other
cause" The planter has to pay a
heavy tax to the protected manufacturer
on everything he buys, whether il be
plowshares, machinery, hoes, farming
utensils generally or clothing for his
family and himself. Yet although he is
so heavily taxed in the production Of his
crop. when it IS produced he has no pro-
lection for himself, but has to bring his
productions in competition with the
world. No wonder Southern planters are
all the time kept with their noses TO the
grindstOne. Senator Vance hit the nail
square on the head.

The St. Louis Republican states thai
the extensive surveying going on in the
southern counties of Missouri for pro-
jected railroads has brought into notice
immense tracts of fine timber, whose
existence was hardly suspected before,
and it hears of large purchases of lands
in those counties by parties who will
turn their resources to account. 1t says
There is more fine timber, oak, pine,
walnut, ash and hickory in Southern
Missouri than in any other region Of
equal area ia the West; it has not been
chopped over and thinned out, as in
other regions, but exists in its ancient
and unmarried symmetry. In a little
while saw mills will be erected for con.
verting the trees into lumber and dimen-
sion timber, and as soon as the railroads
are built the product of these mills will
be sent to market in large quantities"

Mr.. Davidson, of Florida, recently
made good point against the SeatOn ap-
pOrtiOnment plan. By that method Flor
ida is to have but oneIepresentative. and
Mr.. Davidson shows that while New
York has but nineteen times the pOpula-

In excavating for the new Produce
Exchange building in New York many
relics have been unearthed, which, it is
thought, have been buried ever since the
demolition of old Fort George, on Bowl
ing Green. Last Friday a six-pound
solid shot, with the old English broad
arrow cast in it, in good state of pres
ervation, was dug up on the Beaver
street side, and also underground
solid shot badly corroded. Both were
exhibitedfn the Produce Exchange. A
small keg, with about shoveiful of
English half-pennies, bearing dates
from 1873 to 1745 inclusive, was also
found. The coins are in good state of
preservation.

Thomas Arthur, a ST. Louis horse
dealer, died suddenly of apoplexy at his
breakfast table a few days ago. The az
fair attracted unusual attention from the
fact that ArthuI's parents came from the
same county in Ireland in which the
Presidents ancestors resided, and it was
rumored that he was either q first OF
second cousin of the President. This
report gained additional credence from
the fact that the deceased was an EpiscO-
paliar.

Representative DezendOTf, of the Ports
mouth CVa) district, has published a
card in regard to the bestOwal of Federal
patronage in that State. He says it looks
'Just little bit unreasonable for Mr..
Malone to step into the two Republican
districts IN the State and single out his
political victims" Commenting on Mr.
DezenfOrf's vail, the Washington Post
says when Mr. Malone sold Virginia
heidi not sci, it by counties nor by square
miles. He transferred it in a lump,
mountains, cities and towns. Nothing
was said about districts in the bargain.
The entire State was offered up as a sac
riice to political greed, very much as a
butcher would sell fat calf, and it is as
reasonable to suppose that Mr.. Malone
could give up a district as that the butch
ers should agree that the tail of the calf
should not be included in the general
barter"

On the death of Chief Justice Marshall,
nearly fifty years ago, the lawyers of
Philadelphia moved for a monument.
The project failed at the time, as is
often the case, and only $1,000 was con-
tributed. The matter was soon forgot

viving trustee of the fund died few
days ago, and among his papers was
found a carful account of the money,
showing that by investment it had
grown to $4,000. The monument viii
