of Mr.. c. H. Bosworth, superinten-
dent of mails in the St. Paul post

goodbye has stirred up quite a
breeze. The simultaneous disap-

was on terms of intamacy, is no
doubt explanatory of Charley's
queer freak.

THE WHISKY BILL.
Congressman Anderson Proposes to
Fight the Whisky Tax Bill,
And Gives some Statistics ON the Sub
jeet---Postai Teiegraph---Tariff
Revision - DoiHgs in Cen
gress---Other Matters.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. lin an inter-
view Congressman Anderson, of Kansas,
comes out squarely against the whisky bill.
He says: II was opposed to the measure last
session, and shall use all honest and pariia-
mentary means in my power to defeat it.
Why, did you ever stop to think Of
what they are asking us to do? Let me
show you. According to the report of
the commissioner of internal revenue,
page 1872, there were remaining in
distiilei.y warehouses October l, 1888, 49,
405, 361 gallons of whisky. Now these men
ask us to grant them an extension of two
years to pay tax on that whisky All that
whisky, according to law, ought to have been
taken ont of bond on the 1st of December
last. The request of these men amounts
to a loan of the government to
them 2 of S.22, 592, 1887. You see the
tax is 80 cents per gallon. That would be
S66, 064, S24 80. Double this, and we have
1882 l29, $40. 80 Add to this the interest on
the money at 81 per cent per annum and
we have a grand total of Sl32, 592, 103 81, that
these whisky men want Us to loan them for
two years and at the end of the two
years they propose to take the whisky
out by paying 80 cents per gal
Ion tax on all that has not been
lost by leakage or evaporation, which, at a
rough guess, would lose to the government at
least $5e0 900, and at the same time benefit
the whisky men $50, 0OO,OO0 by reason of the
increase IN value of their whisky on account
Of age. Yes, sir; am opposed to the bill, not
only for the reasons given, but for others not
now necessary to be given
