giuiR Notes.
From All Occasional Correspondent
WASHINGTON, December S0.-A compara-
tive statement prepared the other day by
Deputy Commissioner H. G. Rogers, Of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, demonstrated
the fact in four Of the largest tobacco tax
producing districts in the United States
viz: the First, Second and Fifth Virginia
and the Fifth New Jersey-the revenue for
one month, as compared with the same
period last year, shows decrease Of from
33 TO IS per cent. Mr.. Rogers attributes
the falling off to the agitation OF the tax
question in Congress. The Fifth New Jer-
sey District is the one in which the Loril-
lard's do business, and it is said that OF the
81 900 900 annual revenue collected in that
district the firm mentioned pays about
seven. eighths.
The Hon. VIM. r. Morrison, OF Illinois,
was asked within earshot OF newspaper
reporter at Willard's, the other evening,
what the Democrats meant by permitting
the civil service bill TO pass, with its ten
,ure OF Office provisions. "Oh," said he,
laughing, i've propose 10 leave in Office all
the honest Republicans we find in the de-
partments," and after brief pause he
added Significantly, but we don't expect
10 find any honest Republicans in office"
The distinguished gentleman was jesting,
Of course, but he sized Democratic senti'
ment on ciyil service reform, nevertheless.
