A Little story with n Large Moral
One Man who Knew his
own Business.

of country store to a timid little girl whose
head scarcely came up to the level Of the
counter. ''No. my dear. we haven't any red
flannel, but we have some first rate New Or
leans molasses." Softly limiting that she
didn't think that would answer the purpose
quite as well, the child went her way in
search Of the article she wanted.
"IIave you BENSON'S CAPCINE PLAS-
TERS?" asked a gentleman Of a certain drug
eist whose name could be giyen were it de-
sired. Il am troubled just now with a touch
of my old friend, the lumbago, and the Ben
sons Plaster seems to go TO the spot almost as
soon as il touches the skin"

REHABILITATION JANUARY 20.
National Republican., 1883-12-01
MIR. Binine,s Proposition.

The proposition of Mr.. Blaine that whisky
shall continue to bo the subject of federal
taxation, but that tho proceeds Of the tax
shall be distributed among the states upon
the basis OF population, is as attractive as it
is novel IL would bo but step from that to
the excellent proposition of Senator Logan,
that the revenue from that source be applied
TO the cause Of public education. There can
bo no doubt that tho federal government can
collect the tax with more certainty than could
the states, and it is also plain that uniformity
of taxation and collection would prevent ova-
sions of the tax that would follow If the states
took it under their control The central state
of group might greatly Interfere with its
neighbors if it looked with more favor on the
liquor trade than did they.
The attractiveness of tho scheme being
conceded the novelty of It gives us pause,
The raising of state revenues by federal taxa
tion-that is Mr.. Blaine's proposition. Is it
constitutional? The constitution limits the
taxing power of congress to the purposes of
paying the debts and providing for tho COM
mon defense and general welfare of the
United States. If in supplying these wants
it so happens that surplus is created, it has
been decided by congress that it might
return to tho several states the
unused taxes which their citizens had paid.
This is quite different question from the
ono of raising money by federal taxation
expressly for state purposes. To us it seems
clear that congress has now no such power.
But whenever q good thing is found to be
unconstitutional, we think the discovery
merely shows that the constitution can be
improved. We do not believe in tho infalli-
bility of the past. The law-making power of
the people can touch the constitution Us we'll
as it can the statutes. And, if after discussion
and deliberation, congress should deem Mr..
Blaines measure as wise and desirable, it can
bo engrafted on our system, even if the law
yers shall decide that it must be done by
constitutional amendment

be burned on the funeral pyre of her hus-
band, hut the laws of our states, which pro-
hibit murder and suicide, would restrain her
from performing such religious rites within
their Jurisdiction. Bigamy and polygamy
being forbidden in all of the states and by
federal statutes within the territories, and
the only remaining question being how to
enforce tho prohibition, it seems eminently
proper that tho federal, instead of the Nor
mon, courts should be vested with the iuris-
diction. The Mormons should SEQ that
they cannot hope to maintain rolygnmy
as virtue commanded by Heaven,
when the united voice of Christondom do
clares it to be vico from hell. Tho whole
subject of marriage and divorce might well
pass under federal jurisdiction, so that mari
tai relations, rights, and duties might be uni
form, and the ties of family and tho legiti-
macy of children might not bo the sport Of
loose statutes and shystor lawyers in one or
more of the states. But, whatever else waits,
polygamy, slavery's twin relic of barbarism,
ought to go.

correspondents. When young man he became
involved in Irish political affairs and fed abroad
After drifting hither and thither and suffering
severe hardships in foreign lands he started off
for Turkestan, and finally reached Merv after
series Of astounding adventures, which he related
in the columns Of the London Daily Net0s and

published in 1852 He was elcctei one of the
khans of Merv, and when he left there it was on
the understanding that he would endeavor TO
secure political assistance against Russian
encroachments ODonovans career was O
more remarkable one even than that OF
Stanley's He was selected always for the
most dangerous expeditions, and being Won

way into and out of countries where discovery was
