ReIating 10 yinegnr nEnnufac1urer..


The Senate committee on finance today
reached an adverse decision upon the bill re-
Iating to vinegar manufacturers. The meas
ure had for its object the repeal of statutes
which authorize white wine vinegar makers
to distil spirits used in their business without
paying a revenue tax thereon. 1T was urged
in support of the measure that vinegar makers
under cover of the statute were making and
selling illicit spirits, and the course of the dis
cussion in committee gave reason to believe
that a measure providing more stringently
against illicit dstllation and sale of spirits by
vinegar makers would meet with approval,
and such measure may be reported hereafter.

The London Times, commenting on
the London Brige explosion, speaks of
the ''impunity' accorded by American
law to men who make no secret of
their murderous intentions, referring,
possibly, to the failure to imprison
O'Donovan Rosa, whose chief con-
nectlon with explosives is the exr loslon
Of his mouth. But what about the
"impunity' accorded by the British
law to the men who actually carry out
their murderous intentions. With the
best organized police force in the
world London was not only unable to
prevent the attack on the bridge but
has wholly failed to catch the perpe-
traitors. 1t is comparatively difficult
matter in country where free speech
exists to reach :he possible assassin
who has used no other weapon than his
tongue. 1t ought to be comparative
ly easy matter. in country where au-
thority counts for so much and where
arbitrary proceedings are tolerated if
not favored, to reach the actual as,
sassin who has committed an overt
act.-Free Press.
