THE NOTE.

is given in full and is as follows:
Commissioner of Internrl Revenue 1t
was recently stated that you had diseoy-
cred that brewerers were using improper
materials in the,manufacture of beer, assum
ing that anything beyond matted grain
and hops was deleterious; that you desired
to have full return of all raw material
used, and that you intended to place in
spectators in each brewery to watch the
process. We desire to learn if that state
ment was made by authority, and, if SO,
what you desire br ewers to do in the
premises. We are ready in the future.
as we have been in the past, to obey all
legal requirements of the government and
to assist it to obtain just revenues. We
do not object, but rather insist, that
every brewer. confident that he uses moth
ing improper in itself, should be required
to return fully the raw material used. But
before being subjected to an annoying and
expensive supervision we desire to remove
what is apparently Misrepresentation.
We trust you will pardon the liberty we
are about to take and that you will care
fully examine our statement of the facts in
the case.
THE PROCESS
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-01-23
THE PROCESS

| wolves:
1st-The conversion of the starch of the
| grain into that glucose known as malt
sugar, and
2nd-The further conversion of the
glucose into alcohol and carbonic dioxide
| (carbonic acid gas,) which, with the water,
the unconverted extractivs, the albume-
| noids and the mineral or true Jornining
salts, make up the pure malt liquor.
To convert the starch into glucose it is
necessary to have some heterogeneous sub
stance actively present. In making bread
an analogous process, the gluten of the
wheat acts on the starch, and then the glu-
cose produced is by means of yeast split
up into alcohol and carbonic acid gas, the
latter passing through and tightening the
bread, and the former partially escaping
in the baking and partly by age as the
loaf becomes stale. In brewing the
heterogeneous factor is had by malting-that
is, by sprouting the grain and then check
ing the sprouting. Any starchy grain
may be matted, but barley is usu-
ally chosen because it is rich in starch,
| cheaper than wheat and rice and consider
ed in various ways easier to handle. The
maltiug produces superabundance of
diastase, enough to convert very much
more starch than the grain contains into
SAdSOSV- LAG obJOSe V1 EuGltluk IL SOlC1N
to obtain this diastase, otherwise there
would be no need of mailing at all. It is,
therefore, proper enough, if desired, to
add portion of unmalted barley. wheat,
corn or rice, to utilize the superfluous di-
astase. The prodnct may differ in flavor
or taste. but chemically it is the same.
The greater part Of the brewers in this
country, we believe, use nothing but malt
ed barley and hops, though abroad, where
much attention is paid by governments to
| the goodness Of beer the practice is the
other way. We find our course is the
easiest and most profitable. But since the
introduction of the various and light col
ored beer from Europe. the taste of the
public has been for different looking
product; and this is to be had by light
colored malt or by the addition of the
same or a smaller grain unmalted, or by
both. Therefore some brewers use them.
There is nothing deleterious in the addi-
ton of more farinaceous matter 1t is ac-
companied by the same albumenoids, ex-
eracive and mineral salts, and merely
produces desired variations of color and
flavor.

A HISTORIC AL FACT,

which your mind will readily apply. Orig
inally other substances than hops were
used to clarity and preserve the beer of
England. Hops were first used in Ger
many and then introduced in England. At
once q clamor arose that the English brew
ers were drugging and adulterating ale and
poisoning the consumer. Parliament in
its wisdom passed an act forbidding the
use of hops in beer under severe pains and
penalties, and this law remained on the
statute book until the true nature and
effect of the tonic and aromatic hop be-
came understood.
Every modification and improvement of
a manufacturing process in the interest of
science and progress seems destined to
meet with like clamor, just as men pre-
dicted untold evils from gas and railways,
but as the real nature of the invention be-
comes understood the clamor dies out to
be revived by some object further on.
OUR BUSINESS Is
to produce pure, palatable and popular
beverage We follow the process and use
the material that tirne and experience prove
to be the best and are naturally slow to
adopt even improvements, being, as all
men engaged IN pursuits requiring large
capital, conservative. We endeavor to
follow the public taste as all tradesmen do.
but we have no desire to make in any con-
tingency an unhealthy product. Even if
we were base enough to incline that way,
1t is certainly against our interest IF we
are satisfied that any ingredient used by
any in the trade is deleterious we should
urge its abandonment at once, and use all
mems to punish its continuance. But we
do not consider it fair to have perfectly

unjustly stigmatized, and we only AJAX that
careful investigation and just Judgment,
which from our experience in the past, we
may expect from you. And we repeat
that. as no brewer should use anything in
making his beer that he il ashamed of, we
not only see no objection to your requiring
a full report OF all raw materials used. but
we desire this should be done.
We have the honor to remain your
obedient servants,

ARTIFICIAL GLUCOSE

and its operation are apparently misunder-
stood. We do not believe that any brewer
uses it in quantity. He prefers to trust to
the glucose in his malt for the strength of
the beer, but when the wort becomes weak
ened at the last drawing some may regain
the required density by the addition of a
small quantity of glucose until the sacharo-
meter indicates a sufficiency, rather than
run the risk of discoloration or affecting
taste and flavor through gaining the same
density by long continued evaporation.
The glucose used is pure in every way,
being the same used on the brewers own
table and throughout the country, under
the name of 'sdrips golden syrup" &c.
but harmless though it is, it is rarely prac-
tised.
In this connection we would respectfully
call your attention to

EDITORIAL PAEAGRAf HS.

Mrs. SCOvILLE has written Mrs.
Garfield a letter, and Mrs. G. asks to
be let alone by the Gulteau relation
ship, and we hope they will take the
hint and not trouble the stricken widow
with either their appeals or their SYM
pathy:
WE hope we will not be charged
with partially or political bias when
we state that the brightest exchange
that comes 10 US from northwest Tex
as, is the Fort Worth Republican. The
Republican is doing good service IN
awakening the dormant republican
sentiment of that section.
We submit the case to our wool
men. The sCab is a very annoying
disease, but persistent dipping IN to-
bacco juice will conquer it; the lom-
briz, you think, Judge Epson should
have examined into by con, ,ress. Now,
how about this democratic disease
which Mr. Coke has so ably promul-
gated!
THE Dallas Times says it will put
up with schools and sand bars at Gal
weston rather than abate particle of
its democracy. The Times is like Ar
temus Ward on the question of going
to the war, ne was willing to sacrifice
all his wife's relations. Dallas looks
upon Galveston as a sort of mOther-ln-
law, you know.
TIE Waco Examiner fairly goes
into duck fits over Senator Coke's
tariff for revenue only speech. The
Examiner does not hesitate to call
him the "ableSt southern senator" and
to designate him as the "big Drained
statesman from Texas He used to
be called the 'massive BRAIN" etc
The Examiner has not gotten over the
complaint.
THE Waco Examiner is so tickled
with Senator Coke's speech that it
kicks all idea of protection over in its
antics. 1t says:
While there are few interests proba-
bly, N the state that will oppose any
measures looking to the revision of
the tariff, the great mass of the people,
the producers, are in favor of and de-
mand it.
THE Scguin Times says that the
statement in the communication print
ed in the LIGHT regarding the fare
served prisoners in the Jail at that
place, was untrue. The editor of the
Times says that last May he was on
the grandjury and found the bread to
be good and the prisoners in good con-
dIhon. We are strongly inclined to
take brother Yandell's word for it, even
against his Statement-the fact that
the bread was good in May, when he
visited the Jail, does not prove it to
have been good from May until this
date; but, as we have said, we are
strongly inclined to take brother YAM
dell's statement to be correct. We
have had some occasion to learn of
the manner in which prisoners are fed,
even in our Jail, where the sheriff does
all in his power to do it well and we
are decidedly Of the opinion that the
jlil fare, as a rule in the state is not
fr food for dog to eat, and most Ger.
tainly the state pays enough for it to
be good, if II was not regarded as a
valuable perquisite of the sheriff.

THE 0. a. wrote a book and made
a motto that ''civilization began and
ended with the plow," and now Coke,
not to be outdone, declares that tariff
for revenue only is the true motto for
the grangers to paste in their hats. Its
the farmers the politicians are after all
the time.

The ridaI wave at C1eveIand.


CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 23.-Signal
Officer Newton, who observed the tidal
wave today, says at 6 10 a. IN. he heard
distant thunder to the northward over the
lake, and looking in that direction saw a
huge cloud like a thunder cloud, the low
est part of which looked like a large,
heavy curtain hanging over the wafer !;
above 1t q contorted, angry-looking con-
glomeration of clouds, and north of it Il
large stratus cloud. 1t moved very rap
idiV, and at 6 30 the wave struck the
shore.
When first noticed the tidal wave was
about quarter of mile from the shore
and appeared like a great green wall
ten feet high. The lake had been calm.
This was the first disturbance of the
surface. The wave swept along rapidly
aud silently until it reached the shallow
water, when 1t made II loud, smashing
noise and broke on the shore with a
great roar. The wave reached from
norIh-northwest to south southwest.
After it struck the shore two recoil
waves followed close together. At 9 :35,
a quarter later, after the wave reached
the shore, u shower began, which lasted
fifteen minutes, during which two and
one hundredth inches of rain fell. No
hard wind was perceptible here, though
slight squalls on the lakes are reported
by incoming vessels.
Sergeant Newlin says the cloud was
an electric cloud, like those of an ordi-
nary thunder storm, except the peculiar
tiles above described. Many of the
phenomenas are similar to what would
be expected TO accompany a water spout,
but no water spout formed, nor did a
hard storm prec6de nor follow as is
usual in cases of tidal wave
After the grand rush of water the lake
relapsed into repose, its surface as calm
as if nothing unusual had happened.
The wave was wider reaching than was
at first supposed.
Before the phenomenon occurred the
wind had been blowing gently from
the south, and soon after the cloud passed
it resumed the same direction. The
water in the lake Is about two feet
higher than the ordinary stage, and the
tidal wave at the life-saving station rose
eight feet and ten inches above the pres
ent water mark.
