An Estimate of Arthur.
Baltimore Day lDsns.

Mr.. Arthur is cultivated gentleman and
one Of the est-mannered men that have done
the honOrs for the Presidential mansion. He
Is courteous, entertaining and full of social
tact. Yet he has never risen TO the dignity OF
his accidental calling. but rather follows the
bent of his early training. even in the midst
Of the mOmentous questions which are sup
posed to demand his attention. As a manlpu-
istor OF votes he gained prominence and
place. and he Is likely TO retain it by manipu-
lation of votes If nj ALL

Gen. Hancock has changed his mind
about the tariff question again. He does
not now think it is entirely a local issue,
but says it ought to be settled outside Of
politics. The pulpit might be a good
place to discuss it-On texts against Op-
pressing the poor and robbery.

4 Worthy Candidate.

Instead OF putting John c. Fremont on the
retired list Of the army, how would it do for
the Republicans to nominate him for Presi-
dent again. He was one Of the founders of the
great party. He was a Pathfinder. He has
been mixed up in some queer financial opera
tions, like a true Republican statesman, but
his name might still awaken old recOllectlOns
and IRE the party with zeal. Perhaps this is
the meaning of the nice biographical sketch in
Brother c yrus Fields newspaper.

THE LIQUOR DEALERS
And the sum they Pay in Tax,

Considerable comment has been caused
among liquor dealers In consequence OF the
statement made by Mr.. u. H. Warner IN his re-
marks Sunday at the meeting OF tho tomper-
ance people, wherein he stated that they (the
liquor dealers) claimed that they contribute
more than their share OF the taxes, but that
only $4,000 OF the three million required TO
run the District government for the last fiscal
year was paid I'm by them.
Mr.. Horatio Browning, OF the firm of Brown
ing & Middleton, in speaking OF this matter,
said:
81 am not prepared to say that tho men who
deal I'm liquor paid moro than the amount
mentioned by Mr.. Warner, but that ia more
than was contributed by any other one inter-
est. The liquor dealers do not claim that they
pay moro than their share, but that they pay
a larger percentage The real estate men
handle more money In a year than liquor
dealers, and their tax amounts to very little

The PIeuro.Pneumonia Scare.

The sensational reports of the prevalence OF
pleuro-pneumonia among the cattle IN this
District and the surrounding counties of
Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania are de-
MED by tho local authorities.
AT the Health 0nice this morning It was as
certained that no cases OF the disease have
been brought to the attention OF the sanitary
inspectors for several weeks, and they assert
that no large number OF cases can exist and
the stables or stock.yards without the knowl.
edge of the inspectors.
A report on all the cattle in East Washing
health officials In November, showed only ono
case which could be supposed to be pleuro-
pneumonia, while all the remainder OF the
cattle were In a healthy condition. Since that
time no inspection has been made as no sus-
pected cases have been reported, but acting
upon tho statements OF Representative Wilson
an inspection OF cow-stables Will be ordered.
There is no alarm among the local dealers
and little among the purchasers concerning
the alleged prevalence. of the contagion. -
