THE LATEST WHISKY SCHEME :.

THE AAVESV WHISKY Y SCAEmE
 The performances of the whisky men and some of the authorities in Washington are not receiving the attention they deserve. Last month about $9Oo,OOO in taxes on whisky became due the government This month $1,148,828 will become due; next month $1, ,554; and during the year about $38, 900, GOO. In order to evade the payment of this large amount the distillers asked Commissioner Raum and Assistant the Canadian government that the United States would have no objection if, the law of Canada were so changed as to allow the whisky to be sent there
 MT. J. T. Pratt, Secretary of the National Wine and Spirit Association of the United States, wrote to Commissioner Raum, March 23d and asked him to telegraph to the proper officer in Canada that the Internal Revenue department of the United States would have no objection to change in the regulations in regard to the size of the package for im- ported spirits. General Raum forwarded this letter with his indorsement and then As- sistant Secretary French wrote a letter to Secretary Frelinghuysen. In this letter he explained the situation and gave his views as follows: The regulations of the Canadian government prohibit the importation of these distilled spirits in packages of less capacity than one hundred gallons This is bar to shipment to that Dominion of the spirits re- ferred to which are put up in packages of less than one hundred gallons. It is further alleged that the Dominion government would have no objection to modifying it's regulations so as to permit the importation of distilled spirits in smaller packages than one hundred gal Ions, if this department would not regard such an act as one designed to encourage evasion of tax, and as an unfriendly enc to- ward the United States. The commissioner of internal revenue, in his indorsement upon MT. Pratt's telegram, expresses his views that there is no substantial ground for objec- tion on the part of the United States to the proposed modification of the Canadian regu- lations so as to permit the importation of packages of two gallons capacity or upward, and concur in the views expressed by him, inasmuch as the right to export spirits to any country which will receive the same is one not within the discretion of this department. but one absolutely guaranteed by law and encouraged by recent legislation. shall be I pleased to have you convey these views through the proper channel to the authority of the Dominion of Canada, and as the Cana dian parliament is now in session, and may soon adjourn, prompt action is desirable.
 Of course ne one will suspect Mr. Raum and MT. French of being actuated by motives which would not bear the light But it does not seem just the thing for government of fcials to openly encourage a scheme to de- prive the government of revenue

Ex-Postmaster General Creswell, of Mary land, in speaking the other day of the prog ress of the negroes since their emancipation said: They have sometimes submitted to the domination of bad leadership; they have been deceived and used by designing men to accomplish personal and discreditable ends in some sections but, in the main, I think they have done well and made substantial progress; and looking now back over the nineteen years since voted for the Thir- teenth Constitutional Amendment, which that if were called upon to reconsider that vote should cast it as I did in 1864. I think it was the part of wisdom as well as humanity to manumit the colored man, give him the ballot with all other rights of citi zenship, and then start him upon the race of life with accountability except to his own conscience, the law, and his God.
 NJ. de Lesseps has been speaking very free ly as to the prospects and details of the in land sea scheme, and he thinks his personal inspection must decide it's fate. The pro- posed basin will be fifteen times as large as the Lake of Geneva. The moisture engen- dered by it's presence will bring vast tracts of desert land into cultivation, and an approach to valuable forests, now wholly inaccessible, will be facilitated. Exclusive rights over this land and the forests will compensate the company which undertakes to excavate the connecting channel. A preliminary survey has been completed by Commander Rou' daire, and there is no doubt that the level of the lakes is fourteen metres lower than that of the Mediterranean. The chief question now requiring elucidation is the nature of the soil between Gabes and the lakes. If it turns l out to be anything but rock, M. de Lesseps says there will be no difficulty in speedily carrying out the project, which, he says, has occupied his attention ever since it was sug- gested to him by the Empress of the French at the opening of the Suez canal.

AuItaIian BrIgand and Cannibal.


 The death is reported in the Genoa papers of a man who once struck terror to this neigh borhood. Giona La Gala and his brother, Cipriano La Gala, two of the most inhuman brigands who desolated this province, took refuge on board French vessel, and rather a warm diplomatic correspondence was the consequence. At length, however, they were given up to the Italian authorities an condi- ton that they were not to be executed. The reason of this tenderness was, perhaps, that they were regarded as political offenders and they were by no means unfair specimens of the masses who defended the cause of the fal len dynasty. They were accused, not merely of murdering their victims, but even of eating their flesh They were tried and sentenced to death pro foTmaG and were afterwards con- fined in the prison of Capua until they were removed to Bagno. where they were to un- dergo the punishment of hard labor for life Having a curiosity to see these monsters l procured special permission to visit them in 1864. Two guards were sent with me into the cell where the condemned men in chains were taking their dinner. With great cool ness they apologized for having begun before my arrival. After some preliminary cOnVer- sation I asked if it were true that they had eaten human flesh. ''No, 'tis false " was the answer; five only grabbed at the ear of the priest, man whom they had mutilated or murdered, and, suiting the action to the word, one of them put his handkerchief between his teeth and grabbed" it. In corner of the cell perceived some manuscripts lying, which asked and received permission to look at and carry of. portion now lies be- fore me; another portion gave to the core spondent of the PGtr1e, who accompanied me. The manuscript was a translation from French love story which they had ''amused themselves by writing out" It is needless to say that both the brothers were very de- vout and devoted especially to the Madonna, ofk SGoh a bag near the bosom, with 8 picture of the Madonna inclosed. and medal of Plus TX. Giona La Gala died far from the scene of his atrocities, which was in this southern prov ince. "He confessed" says the journals of Genoa, 'fonce fortnight always entertaining hopes of liberty" He died as he had lived, without any change in his savage instincts. His last words were ''Human flesh is the best; prefer it to all'' His body was dis sected and the government has been request ed to give permission to preserve his craHium in the Anatomical Museum of Acquasola.

Since 1863 no death sentence has been car risd into effect in Belgium. During the sev- enteen years 1847-63 inclusive there were IFS convictions for murder and 36 executions {; during the seventeen years 1864-SO inclusive the convictions for murder sank to 128. The decrease was really greater, seeing that the population of the kingdom has grown since 1863 from 1898. .O31 to 5, SIS, ,944. But it is fair to add that there has been made no little progress towards the establishment of a most efficient prison system, while it is as certain as anything can be that murderer will be convicted and punished

He was a colored infantryman, and it was specially set forth, as a conse- quence of his offence, that the strychnine which he swallowed with intent to take his life had incapacitated him for duty during several days.

Why They differ.

There are some people either too lazy
to consider or too ignorant to c0mpre
tend the broad difference in the prlnci
pies that underlie the two great parties
oil the country, and lulled into false
sense Of security they deem it of little
consequence on which side their vote is
cast This is fatal mistake, aud il is
to be hoped that this class contains few
Democrats who are unable TO give a
reason for the faith that is in them.
The dividing line between Democracy
and RepnOicanism Is becoming broader
every day, and he must be stupid indeed
who does not comprehend this patent
fact. Briefly, the Democracy would
strictly construe the constitution, while
Republicanism would bend that reposi
tory Of our liberties to suit its various
centralizing purposes. The old Hamil
ton idea that the people are not fit to be
entrusted with the power of ruling
themselves and that strong, centraliX.
ing government is the one thing ueces
sary, has ever been the foundation stone
of Republican principles. The latest
outcropping Of this centralizlng tendency
Is seen in the Republican proposition to
distribute the annual surplus among the
states for educational purposes. Here
the general government clearly trans
cends its power. Congress may levy
taxes topa the public debt, TO provide
common defense in case of war and
where the general welfare demands II !;
