INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTION.
The Consolidation Of Districts and the Re
6mctiON Of The EOrce Discl.aae1.

The Consolidation Of Districts and the Re
dWcttOR Of the Force Discussed.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says: 1t is known that
as soon as the new law was passed promi-
nent Republicans il both branches of con-
gress represented to the president that it
would be an excellent stroke of policy to
reduce as low as practicable, with due re-
gard to the public interests, the official
force employed in the collection Of in
ternal taxes. The house, with Repub-
lican majority, had voted to reduce the
number of collectors from 126 TO 80, and
it was urged upon the president that unless
he should exercise his authority IN the
premises the next congress would Ill all
probability take action and thus gain the
credit. There have been indications taat
these and other arguments have caused an
investigation with view to ascertain how
great reduction can be safely effected.
In this matter Commissioner Raan is
naturally inclined to a very conservative
course, and, while he is willing to admit
that some reduction is practicable, he
would be very 10th to recommend one
nearly so great as that for which the house
recently voted. He would regard nineteen
or twenty as the maximum reduction
which could be made in the number of col
lection districts and collectors, and even
then would probably consider it necessary
TO increase the force of deputy collectors
by the same number. Others, who are per-
haps as fully and thoroughly conversant
with the necessities of the service as is
Gen. Raum, hold the opinion that the
number of collectors need not exceed
ninety, and that the force of deputy col
lectors-whlch now numbers nearly LOCO
might also be considerably reduced, not
only with safety but with actual advantage
to the service.
The following table shows, in the first
column, the number of collectors in each
of the states named. In the second col
umn the greatest reduction which, it is
thought, Commissioner Raum would favor,
and in the third column the reduction
which other well-informed persons believe
could safely be made, with due regard to

SELLING THE DEAD PAUPERS.

Gov. Butler Showing Up the Brutal Per
fOrmances in the Massachusetts State
Aims House at Tewksbury.
Boston, March 2S.-There was a very
large attendance at the investigation by
the legislative committee on public char
liable institutions, of the charges of Gov.
ernor Butler of Encouragement at the
Tewksbury aims house, the selling of
bodies, etc.
E. ?. Brown, counsel for the officers,
denied the specific charges. Governor
Butler said this was not trial. He was
not public prosecutor, but was present to
give evidence by witnesses who knew
whereof they spoke. adding Il have neither
whitewash brush nor blacking brush to
use as weapons.
DR.. John Dixwell, a graduate of the
Harvard Medical school, testified that
students received large number of infant
bodies which they bought from William
Andrews, janitor, at from three to five
dollars each. Andrews said he obtained all
the bodies from the aims house. Andrews
has since killed himself. Dissection showed
III many cases that the infants had no food
for twenty-four hours before death. Wit
ness gave the same testimony before the
grand jury some five years ago.
Gov. Butler quoted the law providing
''giving" bodies to medical schools, and
requiring ultimate burial of the remains.
Witness said the bodies dissected were
on the same table with animals, and the
remains were swept into the same recep-
tacle. Adult bodies cost so much that
students ''chip in" to obtain them.

tanning large number of bodies from

Marsh, the assistant superintendent, say
that he received so for adult bodies
from Harvard and So from the female
college. There were between 800 and 400
deaths q year. Bodies were picked in

[Augusta Chronicle


Here we have man of affairs and wealth
who is vigorously honest, lover and stu
dent of the constitution, strict construc-
ZIONIST OF moral andpoliticai law, born
leader OF men, and one of the highest, no.
blest, and truest incarnations of American
citizenship. Such man deserves TO be
nominated by the Democratic party for
the presidency of the United States: and,
what is more, We believe be could over
come any Republican candidate for that
high Office with the same ease that he over
threw Astor for congress. It is with some

In one or the New YORK districts the col
lections last year amounted TO less than
100000; in three districts the collections
were less than 100000 each; in one dis
trict less than 100000; in two districts
less than 100000 each, and the aggregate
collections in these seven districts were less
than 100000, while the Brooklyn dis
trict yielded nearly $3,000,00O, and of the
New York city districts one yielded ST.
100000 and the other Sc, $4,000.
There are said to be objections against
making the same collection district en-
brace two or more states, although Della
ware and portions Of Maryland and Yir-
GINA are now comprised in the same dis
trict. 1t is pretty difficult, however, to see
any business reason why Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, for exam pie,
should not be united in a single district
instead of forming three separate districts.
The aggregate collections in those three
states last year were only $491, 6f4, while
| there were thirty-seven collection districts
elsewhere, in each of which the collections
amounted to more than $1,0O0,000, and
seventeen other districts III each of which
the collections exceeded 100000.
| In the foregoing table Missouri is not
mentioned as one of the states in which
the number of the districts might be re-
duced. In the Second district of that
state only $4,000 was collected last year,
aud the Fifth district yielded only $685.
coo. The amount collected may not be in
every case the only reason why a district
may or not be prodtably continued, but it
certainly has an important bearing; and,
moreover, the salaries Of the collectors
and the number of salaries Of deputy col
| lectors are gagged by it. 'Ghore are fifty
four collectors whose salaries range from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year, ana none Of the
districts held by them yield more than
! $275,000 q year of revenue.
! The number of deputy collectors in SER
vice last November was 976. The salaries
paid them vary widely. One receives
! $4,000 ayear, 10 receive $4,000 each, 293
receive from $500 to 1850 each, $40 re-
celve from $1,000 to $1,450, and the re-
mainder receive smaller salaries.
! Of the 3.511 persons employed in the in
ternal revenue service outside of the

OPPOSITION TO THE N. r, X. II,

The following rather funny paragraph
We take from the Butte (Montana)
Union Freeman of May 9th:
The Northern Pacific Railroad is such
a valuable and moderately taxing rail
way corporation, that private passen-
ger and express wagons are now run
ming opposition to it from Walla Walla
to Dayton, the two principal towns in
Eastern Washington. The Washing
tonians are becoming almost as inde-
pendent as the Montanains were in put
ting on line of prairie schooners from
Butte to Corinne, $50 miles by the side
of the narrow gauge railway and thus
reducing the rates. Now Washington
should build a wagon road to Seattle
from the upper country. Wagons can
haul in enough merchandise to make
the railway company sick, and after q
little the road can be sold to the Chicago.
Milwaukee d st. Paul or to the Chicago
h Northwestern, or to the Ogden branch
of the Denver IL Rio Grande, one of
which will probably go down the Clear
water, another down the Palouse and a
third down the Snake to Ainsworth and
all OF them up the Yakima to Puget
Sound. The Northern Pacific had to
contract the building of a wagon road
200 miles through the CRur d. Alene
forests, and such road over the Cas-
oades would command premium. The
railway construction from Rathdrum to
Missoula was considerably delayed for
lack OF the wagon road being ready in
time.
