between the young couples, as directly
after the dance the gentleman must trot

IN the House on Sal urday there was a
motion made by Mr.. Morrison and op.
posed by Mr.. Randall, the effect of which
was to secure consideration of the bill to
give the distillers who have quantities of
whisky in bond further extension of
time to pay the internal revenue tax on
1t, which was long since due and which
the government has only deferred col
lecting by reason of the special riyileges
OF an act passed some time ago, giving
the whisky men extra time. AS this is
about elapsing they want more, simply
because 1t is to their interest to get it.
Very naturally such special legislation is
repugnant to thoughtful and conscen-
t.ous legislators and the proposition to
take up the bill was voted down by q
majority which would have been more
decisive had the bill itself been on pass
age.

some explanation Of the remarkable
report of the finance committee of coun.

thereabouts, has been regularly appro-
