MAINE DISPATCHES.
THE SHAW BROS.
Talk of Removing Their Business to
Wisconsin,.

BANGOR, May Is.
Ii is understood that f. Shaw & Bros have
been making an investigation as to their
facilities for transferring their tannery busi-
ness from this State to Wisconsin. Hemlock
timber yielding bark of superior quality is
found in immense quantities there. and can
be had at low prices. Hides are one of the
great products. 1t is claimed in the western
country that the expenses of tanning is less
than here. The locality in question is in the
northwest and northarly part of the state. 1t
is traversed by railroads, and is not very far
distant from the residence of Mr.. Kingman,
brother in-law of Mr.. Shaw, and formerly
partner Of the firm, who gave his name to the
town of his residence. Fayette and
Thaxter Shaw have made personal ex-
animation of the premises, and found every
thing favorable, and are urged by the busi-
ness people of that region to form a company
with them, and introduce that new and i'm
portant industry into that country. Unless
speedy settlement is made with the creditors
on such terms as will admit their resuming
in Maine, some arrangement of the kind will
probably be made.

NEW ENGLAND TOBACCO GROW ERS.
A Movement to Secure the Repeal Of all
Internal Revenue Taxes.

HARTFORD, May II.
movement to secure the repeal of all
internal revenue taxes on tobacco, inaugural
ed BY the officers of the New England To-
bacco Growers Association on Tuesday, took
definite shape today. The executive COM
mittee and officers of the association met in
this city this afternoon. Official assuran ces
of cordial cooperation in an effort to repeal
the tax was received from the New York
leaf tobacco board of trade. S. G. Hubbard
of Hatfield, Mass, and Lawrence B. Hester
of East Hartford were appointed to confer
with the New York board of trade on Mon
day.
An.appeal to the tobacco industry of the
country was adopted. 1t will be officially
accepted by the New York board of trade at
Mondays conference. The appeal states
that the time is ripe for the repeal of all
internal revenue tax on tobacco. The United
States has a surplus income of nearly $780,
600, 900. This surplus is in constant tempta-
ton to congressional extravaganza. 1t must
be reduced. Congress refused to reduce it
by tariff reform. The abolishment of all
excise duties on tobacco is now the only prac-
ticable method remaining in which the needed
relief can be granted. This measure would
aunul $50 100000 of surplus revenue, dis
charge 1900 to 2OOO office holders and save
SZ,0Uo,OVu expense Vi CoheCuoh. he euoi
nous surplus yet remaining would afford
ample argument and opportunity for further
simplification of internal revenue. The tax
on tobacco was a war measure. The necess-
ity for it no longer exists. President Arthur's
recommendation in his message to Congress
in December, 1882, that "all internal revenue
tax save those which relate to distilled
spirits, can be abrogated." The question of
repeal is not one of politics but of finance
and of justice to the tobacco interest. Neither
party in Congress will dare to oppose the
measure in this Presidential year, and it is
required of them with Immediately organized
and persistent determination. The New
England growers have rich association of
over 1000 members. Ample financial and
political assistance is promised them from
the trade and growers of the South and West.

the Law Court Probably.

PORTLAND, May II.
In the Supreme Court before Judge Has
kell, Saturday, the solicitors for Marshal
Andrews filed a petition asking that the pro-
ceedings of the mayor and aldermen by
which his removal was unlawfully attempted
may be quashed. The court ordered a notice
on the mayor and city clerk to be served by
copy fourteen days befor June 10th at which
time the case will be heard and determined.
Whatever may be the decision of the single
justice presiding either party is entitled to
exceptions, the case there upon to be taken
to the law court in July. 1t therefore was
suggested by the marshars solicitors that
