THE PLUMRD KNIGHT,S SCHEME.
Advising that the Tax ON Spirits be Paid
IN ha Gfafas

TO the States
james Il. Blaine has written letter
TO Charles L. Smith. editor of the Phila-
delphia Press, in which he advises that
the tax on spirits be paid to the states
and the money applied TO reducing state
and municipal taxes. The substance of
the letter is shown by the following ex-
tracts; II have your note inquiring if
| would be willing to give in the more
authentic form of letter, certain views
l expressed in conversation touching
the late proposition of the Republican
State Convention of Pennsylvania to
distribute among the states any surplus
in the National Treasury from a redun-
dant revenue. The first objection is the
uncertainty OF the amount redundant.
1t may be $l,000,000 or 800, 600, 900.
The state could not depend upon steady
revenue. Unless steady, it would not
bring relief, because it would not en-
able the states to dispense with any of
their taxation. There is second OBJ
lection, more serious. For the benefit
of their states Senators and Represen-
tatives would desire the redundant reve-
nue. to be as large as possible. This
would present constant temptation to
withhold necessary national appropria-
tons. Another objection is that it pro-
ceeds upon the assumption OF Il continu-
ing redundancy. This is opposed to
sound views of administration.
1.-The time approaches when by rea-
son of the terms in which the national
debt is funded, payment of the remain
der must be postponed for many years.
This will make necessary the reduction
of revenue, and perhaps the whole in
ternal revenue system will be abolished.
State taxes are direct taxes, and more
oppressive than an indirect tax like that
on spirits. which falls on the consumer
and Expresses no one. Why should not
the states enjoy its benefits according
to their population if the national gov
eminent does not need itp The amount
yielded by the tax last year was over
$50, 900, 000-about LIS cents per capita
to all the people. The tendency would
be TO increase rather than diminish.
Illicit distillers would disappear, when
every state and town should realize that
it was defrauded of its own revenue by
winking at violations of law. | have
Elected that it is wiser to tax whisky
than farms and homesteads and shops.
States that have been so oppressed by
debt as to be tempted or driven to re-
pudiation would be enabled to regain
their credit. | believe the measure
would prove great benefcence to the
people"

A New Theory of work That Prom.
8 Very Well.


A New Theory Of Work That Prom.
Uses Very Well.
]. W. Mcdonald, who has been visiting
Mineral Hill, tells the Elko Independent
that Amos Plummer, one Of the very best
of practical miners and a man Of excel
lent judgment, has charge Of the mines,
and Joseph Pringle Of Austin, a thorough
~ competent mill man, has control at the
mill. The ores now being reduced are
chiefly of low grade, and are reduced
without roasting, and under the present
judicious treatment are yielding q higher
percentage OF the precious metals than at
any prior working.
Pursuant to a theory he had long main
tanned, Mr.. Plummer, on taking charge OF
the mines, began prospecting in ground
TO the eastward Of all former workings,
at a point between the Giant and Spencer
locations, and the result ia proving the
correctness Of his judgment. Some Of as
fine ore as any previously found on the
hill has already been struck in sinking the
shaft, and all the indications are that q
large body Of 1t ia now being developed.
II this ground now being prospected shall
maintain the promise 1t is giving at pres.
emit, there is reason to believe that An
amount Of treasure will be found on that
side Of the main groupings nearly If not
quite equal to that extracted from along
their western border. II these not un-
reasonable expectations shall be happily
verified, that sequestered little camp will

Ahe Opera House TO be Provided
with n Stairway to the Street.

me OperA House to be Provided
with a Stairway to the Street.
The proprietors Of the Eureka Opera
House are going to apply to the County
Commissioner for permission to construct
q stairway from the front porch at their
building down to the sidewalk on Main
street. The idea is thus TO provide an es-
cape in case Of a panic or fire. The plan
Is to remove everything that now OBJ
structs the way towards the wide hall
Leading from the gallery to the porch above
the street, from which a rushing crowd
may easily escape down the proposed
stairway at an angle Of As degrees or q lit
tie less, the foot Of which will strike the
pavement nearly opposite the south door Of
the Opera House saloon. The outer edge
OF the stairway, made Of open iron work, is
to run from the outer edge Of the porch
above to the outer edge Of the pavement
below. The width Of the staircase is to be
three and a half feet and will extend in
wards on the pavement to that distance.
We are told that objection is made by one
or more OF the neighbors to the
stairway on the ground that it will
be an obstruction to the sidewalk and q
place Of nuisance. If this be true, it is to
be regretted, but the whole community
will be glad Of the prospect Of . n escape
from the Opera House, which is now about
as complete Q death-trap as there is in the
United States. Without some means Of
escape q terrible catastrophe is likely to
occur in the Eureka Opera House on any
occasion Of public assembly therein. OF
course no accident Of this kind may take
place, but who can say sor People would
keep or attending theaters In The Opera
House Just as it is and take their chances
Of q horror; but how much more comfort
able will every one in future audiences
feel il he knows that he will be safe in life
and limb in case OF a panic or fire. The
proprietors Of the Opera House are to be
commended for their exhibition Of humane
feeling and liberality in the proposed
building of the much needed fire escape.
1t is to be hoped that they will not be him
dered from accomplishing their purpose,
and that the Commissioners will grant
them the right they ask.
