gress that the policy of diminution of the
revenue by reducing taxation commanded
the general approval of members of both
houses. regret that because of conflict
ing views as to the best methods by which
that policy should be made operative,
none of its benefits have been reaped. In
fulflment of what deem my constitu-
tional duty, but with little hope that can
make a valua DIE contribution to this vexed
question, I shall proceed to intimate brief
ly my own views in relation to it.
Upon the showing of our financial con-
dition at the close of the last fiscal year I
felt justified in Recommending to con-
gress the abolition of internal revenues,
except those upon tobacco in its various
forms, and upon distilled spirits and fer
mented liquors, and except also the special
tax upon the manufacture and dealers in
such articles. I venture now to suggest
that unless it shall be ascertained that the
probale expenditures of the government
for the coming year have been under
estimated, internal taxes, save those
which relate to distilled : spirits
can be prudently abrogated.
This, accompanied by simplifoation OF
tho machines of collection, which would
sAA0AA O0 O0oy Va 0CCOAA p44oAs~nOAsS A.iiSS AA'
reasonably be expected to result in dimin-
ishing the cost of such collection by at
least s., Zoo, 600, and in the retirement
from Office of from 1,5OO to 2,CC0 persons
Tho system Of excise duties has never COM
mended itself to the'favor of the Ameri-
can people, and has never been resorted
to except for supplying deficiencies in the
treasury when, by reason of special Ell
| gencies, the duties on imports have proved
inadequate for the needs of the government
The sentiment of the country doubtless
commends that the present excise ta1
| shall be abolished as soon as such course
can safely be pursued. It seems to me
however, for various reasons, that so sweep
ing measure as the total abolition of in
ternal taxes would for the presen'
be an unwise step. Two of these reason;
are deserving of special mention: First
it is by no means clear that even if the e1
listing system of duties on imports is con
tinued without modification, those dutie:
alone will yield sufficient revenue for al
the needs of the government. 1t is est
mated that $1OO, 900, 900 will be required fo
pensions during the coming year, and i
may well be doubted whether the maxi
mum annual demand for that object ha

the slight surplus of $1320OO. The excess
of revenue in the next fiscal
year is likely to be $3,5OO,OOO.
It congress should approve these sugges-
tions it may be deemed desirable to sup
ply to some extent the deficiency which
must for time result by increasing the
charge for carrying merchandise, which
is now only sixteen cents per pound. But
even without such an increase I am con-
fident the receipts under the deminished
rates would equal the expenditures after
the lapse Of three or four years.
1HH DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
The report of the department Of justice
brings anew to your notice the necessity OF
charging the present system of federal
jurisprudence 80 as to e9ectually answer
the requirements of the ever increasing
litigation with which it is called upon to
deal.
The attorney general renews the sugges-
tions of his predecessor than in the inter
ests of justice, better provision than the ex-
listing laws afford should be made in
certain judicial districts for fixing fees Of
witnesses and jurors.
In my message of December last re-
ferred to the pending criminal proceed
ings growing out of alleged frauds in what
is known as the star route service of the
postofice department, and advised you I
had enjoined upon the attorney general
and associate counsel to whom the interests
of the government were entrusted the duty
of prosecuting with the utmost vigor Of
law all persons who might be found
chargeable with those offenses. A trial of
one Of these cases has since occurred. It
occupied for many weeks the attention OF
the supreme court Of this district, and was

Governor Sherman, of Iowa, who is
visiting at Elmira, \. v, said to a re-
porter there the other day: | saw Pres

spot where the martyr President was
sleeping. The Waterman in charge, on
learning whence | came and who 1 was,
asked me il / would like to see the Pres
ident. / was as greatly surprised as you
can be. He simply showed me he was
in earnest, invited me into the tomb,
unscrewed and removed the lid from
that sacred casket, and there lay Gen.
eral Garfield before me, jtst as he look
ed the day of the funeral-as If in q

those noble features. i was at once
struck with their likeness to the General
as had seen him alive. j presume
that years will pass ere the preserving
traces of the embalmer'S work will
have heen removed from all that is left
on earth of Garfield. He was great
man, and il shows in his calm though
ain-shrunken features still.
A reporter of the Herald, with the
above extract in hand, visited Lake
View Cemetery to make an inquiry in
regard to the matter, and learn If 1t was
true that the remains of the dead Presi-
dent had been exposed TO view even to
satisfy the curiousity of the Governor OF
Iowa. The sexton being Intercepted
about the matter said it was true that
Governor Sherman had been allowed to
view the remains of the dead, but thai
be had nothing to say or to do in the
ca,e. The keys Of the vault wore in

Scotch Funerals.

At Iuss the fashion was to serve out
no liquor at the house which the tuner-
al Gifted" The primary purpose for
which the company was met was rec
ogniZed as being TO get the body to the
churrhyard and buried there. The
graveyard was, however, a long distance
from the village, and the burial over the
company adjourned To the neIghbOring
stage house" for refreshments, which
10 years ago always took the following
shape: First a glass of whisky was
handed round, accom- panied by loaf OF
bread, Oat-cake, and cheese. When
that had been discussed, class Of rum
and a farthIng "cappit" biscuit for each
mourner followed. This again was sue
eeeded by a glass of wine and Il sponge,
or funeral biscuit. 1t was matter of
cOmpulsion, almost, for each person to
take off his glass each round, and many
persons still living remember with a
shudder their experience on such oc-
caSiOns. But even this fashion was
mild compared with the generation
Immediately preceding, when every
guest had 10 swallow three glasses OF

to which this immoderate drinking led
can be well enough conceived, and the
Iairds of ColquhOun, shocked at some
stories that came to their ears, offered
to provide bearse at their own expense
for all interments, to take away the eX-
cuse for so much indulgence; but the
proposed innovation was resisted for
many wears. On one occasion party
was returning after the funeral and sub
SEGMENT refreshment, and some kind
friend had lent them q cart to ride
home in. A discussion on some point.
whether political or religious | cannot

who adopted the one side of tie queS-
ton refused to ride in the same cart
with their opponents, and the weaker
side was consequently "disrupted' into
the road and had TO walk the remaindSr
of the Journey. The custom OF not sup
plying drink to the mourners till the
burial was completed was one which
might have been initiated with .advan-
taCe elsewhere. On the south bank OF
the Clyde it did not prevail. Some OF the
Inhabitants Of the district through
which the Greenock branch Of the
CALIFORNIAN Railway now runs hau

the graveyard of a village over the hills
nearer Ayrshire. Whether 1t was usuai
to give dram before starting or no, q
supply was invariably furnished to help
the party on the road. AT a funeral
which took place quite within living
memory the rests had been frequent on
the road, as had also been the applica-
tiOns to the pOcket-pistOls, and at last
the party deployed into the church
ward without the coffin. OF course,
here was great CONSERVATION, followed
