Mrs. McGee i'm Editorial Room.
Houston Post. ]

lHOuStOn BOSt.
Yesterday the whole editorial corps
of the Post, with one or two visitors,
were sitting in the editorial apart
mentS of the paper, cOnverSing over
matters generally, when lady ap-
peared at the door, yelled and dressed
in black. She held folded copy of
the Post in one hand. After hesitat-
ing for moment, she advanced to-
ward the desk of the city editor, and
at the same time holding out the pa
pef,said: "Did you write this arti-
cle?" pointing to an article that APP
peared the previous day, in which her
name appeared rather prominently. He
replied us politely as he could, mo,
madam" She insisted on his being
the party who did the writing, while
he was polite, but not positive that
she was in error. The other members
of the corps had in the meantime be-
come very quiet. She continued by
saying that that part of the article
which stated that Marshal Wichman
had threatened to arrest her was "a
lie" and she wanted it corrected, and
it must be corrected, or, she cOntin-
ued, 81 will kill the man tomorrow
who wrote it," The city editor as
sured her that no injustice was in
tended, nor would the Post, under
any circumstances, do any one injus-
tice, especially if there was any chance
of any editor being killed for it, and
that he would take great pleasure in
giving her statement that no such
threat had been made, and also would
add her statement that Marshal Wich-
man address ed her in most polite
manner and just as he would talk to
little girl, advising her to let the
matter rest until next week, when he
had no doubt she would recover her
property. She further said if any one
doubted her statement she would
take him to the marshal and prove
what she said. The G. Z. did not
doubt it, and did not want to put her
to so much trouble.
Other members of the corps by this
time took part in the conversation.
The lady said said she WAS Il lone
woman, but would defend herself
from being imposed on by any one.
She was again assured that there was
no intention of doing her an injustice,
and the G. Z. hoped that she would
disabuse her mind of that idea, and he
was glad of having an opportunity to
make the correction in her behalf.
There are said to be held in bond S4.-
100000 gallons of whisky. OF this
quantity 80 cents per gallon gov
eminent taxes will be required to be
paid this year on but 100000 gal
Ions, and this quantity is estimated as
about the usual annual consumption
of our country. The hardest expert
ence will therefore inevitably be felt
in 1884, when the government tax
will be due and required upon 49,
100000 gallons, which is equal to
nearly three years consumption. In
1885 the tax will have to be paid on
upwards of 100000 gallons more.
If these figures are correct, and doubt
less they are, as they were used by the
distillers and others before the late
congress, they evince that, in the alb
sence of demand for export, the pres
ent stock of whisky in BOND will
suffice for our country's supply the
next five or six years.

Editor of Evening Prees -
DEAR SIR-Feclmg deeply grateful for the
great benefits which have received from the
use of a very valuable article which has its
origin and home in our beautiful city, and
hoping that others who are afflicted as have
been may find like relief from its use, l beg
the indulgence of Il few lines in your valuable
paper for the privilege OF communicating it TO
you IA brief statement of facts, for the benefit
of the mu titude of sufferers TO be met with on
every side. Many of my friends well know
that ! have been very severely afflicted with
heart disease for number of years, and have
suffered from it as only those can suffer who
have that disease; it reduced my strenth so
low that I could scarcely walk across my
room, and the least exertion rendered me so
shOrt-breathed that | dared scarcely move,
and life seemed very burdensome. l was
treated for my malady by the best physicians,
and derived no benefit from their treatment
or prescriptions until | was advised by my
family physician to use Hunts Remedy, as my
trouble was caused by inactiOn of my kidneys,
which affected very seriously the action of my
heart commenced taking it (having little
faith in it or any other medicine), and it has
helped me wonderfully, and am now great
deal better, and have been ever since began
its use. In fact i have.t taken no medicine that
has benefited me so greatly. My breathing is
easy, and l have gained in strength SO much
that am able to do my hOusework. 1 cheer
fully recommend Hunts Remedy to all who
may be afflicted as l have been, or who are
suffering from general debility and nervous
prostration. Respectfully,

INTER STATE COMMERCE Accord
ing TO a recent decision in the u. s.
Supreme Court, Judge McCrcary
dec ded that the State of Iowa had
no right to regulate the price OF
fares or treights carried beyond the
borders of that state into the state
Of Wisconsin, such interstate reyu-
lntiQn devolving exclusively upon
Congress. under the law of 1924,
which grants To Congress the power
",o regulate commerce with foreign
nations, and among the several
states Yet the states may sever
ally exercise the same power within
their respective jurisdictions. This
settles the point that the powers OF
the states begin and end within
their respective limits. and whats
ever is carried beyond such limits,
comes under the regulations of Con-
grcss.
