OLYMPIA. FRIDAY NE\lNG. APRIL 4. NV
Same Good Congress has Done.

The new law passed by Congress
reduces both the internal revenue
and the tariff. The principal change
in tue former is i'll the reduction OF
tbe tax on tobacco from Ii TO cents
per pound, and of the annual hceh'e
in deaiers from - to - 40. The
two-cent stamp Oh bank checks, the
one.cent on each bunch Of matches,
stamps on perfumery ana patent
medicines. and the tax on the capital
and deposits of banks, are abollshed'
The tariff bill reduces the d2ty on
sugar, which now amountstos'ooo w.
600, annually, or one dollar upon
every man woman and child III the
country. The decrease will be about
one fifth of this amount, and should
result liz an appreciate decline III
price of this staple.
Tue duty on steel rails is cut down
from $2S to ST. per ton; that upon
cotton of cheaper grades is reduced
and on better classes slightly aug
mented, and the same is true OF
woolens. There are some reduc-
tions in silks and linens. The rates
on crockery are slightly increased.
The changes in the tobacco tax go
into effect the LIST of next month; the
new duty on sugar is to he collected
from the LIST of June; but the main
provisions of the tariff bill do not sc
into effect until the LIST of July.
Another important change, affect
ing as it does the whole people, is
the reduction of letter postage tc
two cents, which law goes into
effect the first OF October. A provi'
sion of scarcely less moment revises
the postal order system, and allows
the maximum amount OF one order tC
be 500, and by the use ofpostal notes.
small amounts can be sent at a re-
duction of the minimum rate.
As the surplus collected 10y the
Government amounts annually tc
$3.50, 600, 900, these reductions which
it is estimated will not amount to
$40, 900, 900, can we'll be sustained
without any detriment to the public
service, and the effect really is to
return to the people nearly one-hali
of the high taxes imposed when
there was necessity to raise revenue
to perpetuate the life of the nation.
The remedy comes late and is only
partial, but it will be placed to the
credit of the Forty'Seventh Congress
and pave the way for more through
reform.

A TIME TO BE CRAVE.

There are times when we should be grave. In he face of such a loss as the city has sustained in the destruction of our exposition building. together with such personal hopes is were based on 4
 large advertising contract which. he same, fell in with the roof-we feel that this IS such time.
 Ne stood and watched the magnifcen, building in the resplenden, glory of lts last moments. Tempered with thoughts of the vas, destruction that was being wrought, the incompatible grandeur of the scene, me great saeets oi flame that shot up into the very doom of heaven. dispelling from the earth for miles around the shadows of the night. the rushing whlrlwinds of fire. the falling in of the grea, engines of Machinery hall, the surging of the crowd, and the shouts of the iremen, all were power,ess to awake in us that excitement that is usu- ally born of such scenes, and under which men dare to do brave deeds. No. We stood and saw the man rush into the seething furnace make his way past the rare coin display. the exhibits of two
 jewellers where were thousands of dollars worth of diamonds, past the display of costly seal-skins, and from the very brink of an awful death selze d coil of wire and make his way out n safety. We stood and watched man rush down from the crowd on South avenue. with bridle in hand and endeavor to lead away from danger the wooden 'ying-horse ,ha, stood with head thrown back from the terrible heat. apparently powerless in fright. Ne stood midway in the quarter of a mile of splendid buildings while only the raf,ers and s,udding posts remained outlined Tn tre. and saw six men labor with aN and erowbar. as though il was to save the universe, and they wrenched fsom it's place single length of the rail- ing that divided the race-,rack from the eah ground. The effect was to check. by breaking connection. the ire ,ha, was leisurely making its way along this rail- ing. We saw little man who had sS,eoo in ,he' burning building stand. aad with calm bu, malignant eyes, pa ,iently and fNedly watch these laborers until they had loosened the old rail and thrown i, down upon the race-,rack We saw him then go and stoop down before the men. while they breathed heavily from their exertions. pick up the rail and carry 1t carefully away to the fire and cast l, in. We saw the great buildings fade away while the delicate trellis work where had been the fiery bombardmen, of Alex andria a few hours before. remained within stones throw. intact and un- soa;hed. We stood on Rebecca stree, amid a crowd of female college girls. and when the capalo fell in, saw them weep aye, weep-for the destruction of beauii- tul lace shawl which they knew 10 be on exhibition. We stood and saw all these things unmeved. for we felt ina, Il was a time 10 be grave.

boy iH the hamlet seemed to appreciate the story of sacrifice brought in the letter, and not know what illness and death among strangers in the bare wards of an army hospital would be to the old man whose life lay so deeply-rooted among his home and neighbors. In the five days that passed before he came, every one of these old neighbors was busy in preparation for him. Every comfort which house-keepers in Tarrytown had accumulated for generations was carried down to the Dowrex house, and without Aunt Sarah's knowledge a sum was raised to bring the most skillful surgeon m Philadelphia to meet him on his arrival. Aunt. Sarah, as the tension on her grew extreme, only became mere quiet. She moved about, gently arrang- ing his chair and the pipe beside i, for the thousandth time, saying, "Only let him get into his own chair and it will be all right. It's home Abel wants" When they carried him in and placed him on the old sheep-skin cushion he looked at Sarah, and then at the pigeon holes, and then at the crowd of kind faces around him and nodded, closing his eyes with smile of unspeakable content.
 It's the hrst look of real lite he has given" said Squire Plunkeu: II shouldn't wonder fl we sep, him after all."
 We did keep him. Whether l, was ,he skill ofthe great surgeon. or the care oi i the old neigh5ors. or the mere air of the home that cured him, l do no, know. But at the end of six moths he was going up and down the shady streets as hale and hearty as ever.
 But all this was twenty years ago. Abel and Aunt Sarah long ago have gone on 10 join their old friends, who live beyond the silence.
 Since then have seen the workings of christianity in large communities. and among people of culture and powerful in tellects. But whenever on Sunday hear that cantiele which tells of the holy and humble men of heart who praise the Lord. and magnify Him forever" l go back to ignoran, old Abel Dowrex. and the irrcvoea5,e tie with which he bound together the people of his native village.
