The Farmers Journal directs attention
20 significant fact, that seems to have
quite escaped public attention, in con-
nection with the tax on distilled spirits,
viz that whisky which is used as bev-
erage, and is at best but luxury, pays
but about one half the tax per gallon
that is paid by alcohol, which enters into
the arts and manufactures and is q
chemical agent of inestimable value.
The explanation is that whisky is only
about one-half the strength or proof of
alcohol
Many seem to think that high tax
tends to lessen tie use of spirits as .
beverage This view, however, does
not seem TO be sustained by the facts or
the statistics of the Revenue Department.
Before the tax was putupon spirits fully
a3 per cent of all that was made was
u u.s. in the arts and in manufacturing.

The central departments OF
France are suffering from wolves,
and the Aisne from an influx Of
moles. In two years six villages
have been ravaged by wolves, and
from fifteen to twenty persons
have been bitten and died mad.
The latest case was that of a wolf
which, after attacking several per-
sons, encountered man, carrying
gun and was shot. The State
premiums of from six francs to
eighteen francs for the destruction
of wolves are complained of as in
adequate, yet q bill now pending
proposes to abolish them alto
gether, under the idea that they
prevent the extirpation of the. ami
malls. AS to the moles, their dep
relations in the Aisne have
amounted 100000 francs, the
district of st. Quentin alone hav-
ing suffered TO the extent OF
G, 900, 900 france. Some advocate as
the remedy relaxation of the re-
strictions on the sale OF arsenic,
but cartridges, small birds and
fowls have already fallen victims
to poisoned wheat intended for
moles.

THOUGH We have had nipping
blast from the North at intervals,
nevertheless both the grass and
grain had such q start that com.
paratively little mischief has been
done. There are strong indications
of an approaching rain; and, with
one good, thorough downpour,
crops are assured. Our leading
sheep men report abundant feed
and We have already sustained all
the damage which will be reported
from that source. On tue other
hand, the fiocks which remain will
take on new value and the price OF
sheep is liable to act like a cork in

THERE Is considerable curiosity
In Los Angeles as to just what por-
ton of the Republican party en-
dorses the dignified judgment,
formulated In Republican quarters,
that President Arthur is "double
breasted duffsr" and 'partner OF
Guiteau's." The srraignment was
characterized by greatsprightliness
rather than dignity. Not to put
too fine q point upon it, it has the
captivating ring of slang and the
merest suspicion of the Jakey OF
the Bowery. In substance, how
ever, 1t undoubtedly represents the
views Of y portion Of the Republic
an party.

We regret extremely that
quarrel of extreme bitterness has
broken out between the two organs
of the Republican party in Los
Angeles. While 1t is thus far one
sided, that cadet In journalism in
this city, the Times, nevertheless
contributes its portion to the
flames OF controversy in the shape
of specially vindictive assaults
upon President Arthur, while the
Commercial comes to the rescue OF
the stalwarts, and piles hot and
fiery words Of invective on its
young colleague. In a political
sense, in the modest arena of Los
Angeles life, we are having q fight
that rivals in intensity and posi-
BILE dire results, the hates of the
Montagues and Capulets, that once
desolated Verona, of old. On the
one hand we are treated to the
lively antics of the Half Breed
MercutiO. of the Times, while the
stalwart Tybalt, of the CONNER
cial, with his tantalizlng tongue
and ready rapier, stands an aggres-
slve and war-like champion of the
gospel of Lord Roscoe. There is a
great deal Of the aspect of genuine
tragedy in this whole BUSH
ness, and we should not
be surprised to see, shortly,
either the one champion or the
other. with hole as big as barn
door and as deep as well in his
knightly carcass. We think that
1t was the il!ustrious Watts who,
in touching verse, relegated quar-
reling to the canine race. 1t is
true that this great compiler Of
hymns addressed bis placatory re-
marks to little children; but, by
an extension of his beautiful re.
Fiction, We can make them avail
able to the cases of these warning
journalists. By strong effort Of
the Imagination, which, as the
"divine William has well OBJ
served, "bodies forth the forms of
things unseen," we can trust our
selves to the fiction that these
truculent editors are, as it were,
little children. Having thus, by q
figure of speech, brought them
back to that interesting phase OF
human life, we beg to remind
them, on Watts's authority, that
their little hands-here there is q
powerful strain or the imsgina-
ton, when regard Is had to those
manly and hirsute paws were
never made to tear each others
eyes out. Political brethren should
dwell together in the most loving

lowed to 60 down upon their
wrath, q sentiment for which we
have the authority of the founder
of the Christian religion. We
heartily trust that, before we are
called upon to chronicle down
right disaster to the editorial guild
and the Republican party, this
highly sensational quarrel will be
adjusted on terms honorable to
both parties. II necessary, let ali
