THE czAnANp HIS CORONATION,

Previous to the reign OF the present head
OF the Russian government there was no
event In the life of the czars which was tho
occasion Of so much rejoicing throughout the
empire, or was the synbol of the comforting
of such absolute and extensive powers as
the grand and formal coronation ut Mos.
COW, q ceremony by which the man became
almost a Con, the ear of all the Russians
aud the head Of the Greek church. So inn.
portant step was this indeed that its
postponcmcnt merely through caprice
or fear would have been regarded us an
impossibility, and in fact was farther
from no mans mind than the favored
OF fortune upon whose head the
crown was TO be placed. And then when
the booming cannon and the shouts OF the
pepulacc told that the coronation was
over, the masses Of Russia were ready to
knccl before the new sovereign with an awe
and reverence 1T only TO be manifested
toward being of superior mold than clay.
No longer ago than quarter ola century
such was true of Russia. Now we see liz
ruler shrinking from this ceremony, with ali
the glory and power OF which II is the sym
bol, as u he were a craven criminal bcinr
led to execution. Time and again has the
coronation been postponed, and upon
each occasion some nimsy excuse
has been urged, which lily con.
ccaled the fear Of personal violence rcstin,

mally crowned, in his dread of ex
posture, his burying himself from the
public gaze, lesson full of hope to human
ity. This tremendous power of the north
of Europe, extending over nearly half of
Asia and Europe, and enforcing its tyran-
rical and superstitious mandates with n
rod of iron, has been heretofore an insur-
mountable obstacle to the causes of religion
and civilization in the east and particularly
within the empire ITSELF But it has been
essentially personal power, wrapped in
the supposed sacredness with which kings
are invested, and, therefore, impossible to
approach. The nihilist, boldly, though in
blood, has shaken the iron throne, has
robbed Imperialism of its supposed
inyiolability, and stricken the shackles
OF slavery and blind faith
from l0O,0OOOOO people The next blow of
like character, and it is bound to come in a
very short while, will open this vast terrific
ryhnd its teeming millions to the influences
OF progress, religion, constitutional liberty
ana civilization in its higher forms. The
postponement, therefore, of the coronation
OF the car, arising as it does from an I'M
doubted fear of the same subjects, who, but
a lew years ago crouched humbly at the
loot OF the Muscovite throne, teaches in no
terms the great truth chat
the light of liberty and the appreciation of
the rights of man have taken hold of even
the dull intcllccts of the north and east Of
other words that man is every
where progressing to higher development
and grander destiny. In this light, there.
fore, a matter of seemingly local interest
only, but about which we constantly hear
so much, rises to the dignity and import
lnce of a subject for worldwide interest and
speculation.

The utterancos of acting city Physician,
BELL before the council Saturday night were
very unfortunate and calculated to do this
city great damage. There are at present
two or three cases of smallpox in Dallas or
rather couple of cases of the disease in
mild form and two cases of varioloid, one of
the latter being that of DR. S. w. FIELD,
who contracted the disease in waiting on
Mrs. CoNKLING. No cases could be better
guarded or less likely to produce more and
no one in the city, with few excep-
tons, those nearest the sick, feels the
least apprehensive therefrom. In view
of such facts the reporters who
have telegraphed out the state.
ment that panic almost existed here and
the physician who declared that "thc air
was saturated" with the germs of the dis.
ease, have suffered themselves, without the
slightest grounds, to grow sensational and
to do Dallas the grossest injustice Parties
in or out of the city need have no fears of n
spread of the disease, and we trust that ia,
sensational and wild rumors relative thereto
will be taken simply for what they are
worth. Almost the entire population have
been vaccinatcd, and this together with the
prompt and effective quarantine removes
all danger As true journalists, regarding
only the interests of the public, the latter
may rest assured that we will faithfully an.
prise them of the exact extent of the evil
from time to time. This much We owe and
will certainly furnish our subscribers.

A SENSATIONAL STORY.
An Alleged Scheme to steal $50 900, 900
by New Whisky Ring

~ - VOW " AAoiAg
WASHINGTON, April GA highly
sensational article is printed here on
the subject of an alleged whisky ring
embracing Kentucky Spectators and
others, including the commission on in
ternaI revenue, by which it is claimed
that $4,000, 000 is to be stolen from the
treasury. The means through which
this is TO be accomplished is the bill in
troduced by Mr.. Dunnell for the extern
sion of the bonded period for spirits IN
distillery warehouse, and the special
act of bidding is described as follows /:
Halt OF the goods are to be sold in bonds
to outside small buyers at profit sufli-
cient to cover the cost of the whole lot,
and then by premeditated default in
the renewal of the bonds the tax becomes
due, and the government, by forced
sale of the spirits, attempts 10 re-
cover the sum, when these sly individ-
uals slip around and bid in the whisky
for next to nothing, and leave the gov
eminent out in the cold, so far rs its
taxes are concerned, and then they can
reap their harvest by having protection
equal 10 the amount Of the tax against
other manufacturers.
The astute author of this article has
overlooked one material provision OF
| law. Section 1894 of the revised stat
utes provides that all spirits sold under
| distraint flor taxes shall he sold subject
to the tax, and that the purchaser shall
Immediately before he takes possession
of said spirits pay the tax thereon. The
| argument was based upon false prem
ises, and so has led he author into al
absurdity. The frieDC of the bill claim,
that ii ii was the inten. on Of any whisky
ring to make money Thu : would kill the
bill, allow the bonded oeriOd To expire
on the LIST of May, and SO force the
whisky on the market, then buy it up
at song, pay the tax, and thus hold tho
fine WHISTLES a: a price less than the
highwine producers could make them.
