The Stakeholder of June IL makes some good
points regarding sound railway properties by
giving comparison of their present standing and
that of 1873 For example, the New York Cen
trail sold at III in the 70 panic, has since re-
turned SO per cent. in dividends. and got down
to 1O44 last month. Chicago & Alton then sold
at So, has since paid SO per cent in dividends
while the lowest price of the stock in the recent
crisis was 126. Northwest then sold at 31s has
returned aggregate dividends of SO per cent,
wanna was down to 79s in 1873, has since paid
584 per cent. in dividends, and went to 80 in
the recent depression St Paul was three
times as high at its lowest of last month as in
the panic of 1873, and its aggregate dividends
have equaled $50 per cert on the price of. the
latter year.

very easy to see why high tariff men should
wish to get rid of the whole informal revenue
system, but II is strange that there should
be such diversity Of opinion as, to the effect
of extending the bonded poriod-one set con.
tending that such legislation would bring
about tho repeal of all internal revenue
taxes, and the other that 10 would perpetuatc
the internal revenue system, and both voting
against the bill for precisely opposite reasons
The same diversity Of opinion was apparent
among the temperance men. As n rulo, the
temperance people in congress aud out of
congress opnqsed the bill because they re-
gardod ID as a concession to the distillors and
wholesale whisky dealers Fran the tent
perance standpoint, tho liquor dealer is the
last person who is entitled to any special in
diligence from tho government, and no doubt
this sentiment helped to swell the vote against
tho bill But, ON tho other hand one of tho
ablost advocates of tho bill appealed to the
temperance men to vote for it, in order to save
society from being domoralized by flood of
cheap whisky.
The speech delivered by Mr.. Hewitt in
favor of the bill was, in many aspects, the
most striking that was made on either side.
lie said shat one-half tho whisky produced
in this country was used in the arts, aud,
leaving the half that is used as beverage
out Of tho question, he made an argument in
favor of removing a tax from Q domestic
product which enters very largely into our
manufactures. lie contended tho tax on
whisky is simply . tax upon raw material, and
is therefore oppressive to the manufacturers.

much effect but it was both interesting and

BALDWIN, COUNTY, Georgia, pretends to bo
greatly excited over a threatened negro Inv
surrection. A colorcd man named II. M.
Smith is charged with making incendiary
speeches. The sheriff of the county went to
one Of the negro meetings near Milledgovilo
and in attempting to arrest Smith shot another
negro in the arm. The date fixed for the up.
rising by the wicked idiots who invented
the story is about April 1. 1t Is high time
that tho decent people in the south would
put an end to this bogus instruction bust
ness. Some years ago panic was started in
Burke county, Georgia, by some Ignorant
white rufilans, which ran over two or three
of the neghboring counties, and cost several
innocent negroes their lives. IL was finally
stayed by tho frmness, wisdom, and human
ity of the late Hon. Herschell V. Johnson
presiding judge of the court in which mum.
Der of prosecutions had been instituted
against colored men on false charges. Judge
johnson dismissed tho cases and thereby
put an end to the "insurrectionp which had

the vicious white men who pretended to have
discovered It, If it had not been for an up.
right judge the state of Georgia might have
added judicial murder to mob violence in
dealing with an imaginary conspiracy. The

end to the Baldwin county insurrection by

their reason that it was clearly improper to

ALL tho hopes of cheap marriages in Mary
land excited by tho passing Of an act by the
legislature reducing the license fee from
$3.50 to 60 cents have been dashed to tho
earth by the governors veto, The state gets
about $4,000 a year from tho marriage tax,
and the governor says that this sum cannot
be spared unless the legislature provides
some other source of revenue to make up the
deficiency. In his veto message tho governor
again calls the attention Of the legislature to
the fact that the revenue is insufficient to
meet current demands, and If the amount
lowed for the sinking fund is SGT apart rs the
law directs there will be large deficiency
in tho treasury. The democratic majority in
the legislature are afraid to increase taxation
and are considerably troubled to know what
to do. When the bosses of the old state
ring" were running things they had the
sinking fund to fall back upon. whenever
there was a failure of revenue, but since Gov,

chance to cover up extravaganza, and the

THE defeat of the whisky bill is so owe

THE defeat of the whisky bill is so over
whelming as to be almost phenomenal. 1t
now remains TO be seen if the bankruptcy
predicted for the trade by the advocates of
the measure. will follow Very likely con-
siderable mbarrassment-perhaps disaster
will be the result in some cases. But the
responsibility for any such consequences is
clearly upon tho distillers and their hackers.
For their folly in producing an amount of
spirits vastly in excess of the current con-
sumption Of the country and the demand for
export they alone arc to blame. The people
have no interest in the matter beyond
that Of having the lawful revenue
collected and paid into the treasury as it &C.
crues, and their campaign to force the gov
eminent to assume their self-imposad burden
certainly savored of impudence, to say the
least However, il is not likely the matter
is finally disposed Of. large amount of the

still be an interest sufficient to lead TO fresh
