Soldering At West Polnt.

Gath" tells in the Cincinnati En-
quirer how they make soldiers ct West
Point
There are NO pockets in the trousers Of
the West Point cadets, not in their coats
either. The cadets wear no vests and are
trained to do without pockets. They are
left free to choose between putting their
handkerchiefs in their caps or breasts.
The autho' tiles say they must not nae
tobacco.
They are not allowed to carry money,
and the ones who govern them do not see
what need they have for pockets. When
the ''plebs" first arrive. they swagger
around with their hands in their pockets.
and, in fact. do not seem to know what
to do with them. One of the secrets Of
making soldiers at the Military Acade-
my is depriving the students Of pockets
and compelling them TO allow their
hands and arms to seek the center Of
gravity.

REDUCING INTERNAL TAXES.

The question Of reducing the taxes on
whisky and tobacco is about to become
the leading topic in the Congressional
debates.
The New York Times says that the
programme Of those who favor reduc-
ton is beginning to assume definite
form. Referring to the bill Of Mr.. CAR
Isle, of Kentucky, which proposes to
reduce the whisky tax from 80 cents a
gallon to 80 cents, the Times thus dis
.eusses the effects of 4 reduction on these
two articles. 1t says:
iIt is proposed to reduce the tax on
tobacco from Is cents to 10 cents per
pound, on cigars from S. to 81 per 1000,
and on beer from 81 to go cents q barrel.
We hsve.an official estimate of how
much this would cost the Treasury.
The reduction in the whisky tax is esti-
mated at SIS, 100000, in that on tobacco
at $3.50, 900, in that on cigars at S $780,
900, and in that on beer the samoa
snug total of s47, 400, 900. 1t is contend
ed that some of this would be made up
by the increased consumption caused by
lower prices. But a moments reflection
win show that this is not likely to be
the case, except to a very limited extent
