PRIOR to July, 1868, it was the gener.
al practice Of the Treasury Department.
to collect internal revenue taxes upon
only so much of dist led spirits as
were actually withdrawn from bonded
warehouses, no account being taken of
leakage. In some Instances, however,
the tax was collected upon the quantity
which was originally placed in bond,
thus collecting the tax on spirits lost by
leakage and evaporation. Senator Beck
has introduced bill for the relief of
such persons as have paid this excessive
tax. L5 directs the Secretary OF the
Treasury to refund the amounts thus
collected to the proper persons upon
submitting proofs that shall be salts

The Canada Pacific Railroad syndi

They want the British government te
buy their road, or at least to buy the
controlling stock which they hold.
If Great Britain should refuse to make
the purchase they threaten to sell ouI
to American spectators, or Jay
Gould, which is the same thing, leav-
ing IL foreign hands England's quick

one that will be likely to have a pow.

A Sense of Honor.
The Century.


There is little doubt that the thing
which must needs TO be taught this
generation of Americans by ministers
of the gospel, by both clerical and lay
instructors of youth, by all who have
public interest or private authority, is
a sense of honor! It must be shown
and insisted upon that every positio0
IN life where one person is employed
by another to do certain work, inn
poses an obligation to fulfill the duties
of the place with an honorable and
disinterested regard for TIE interests
of his employer. It must be shown
that this view of employment applies
to the cook, the errand-boy, the cash
Ter, the legislator, the governor, the
president. This is a trite, and appar-
emily simple, and somewhat stupid
view Of the opportunities of a smart"
and ambitious American of our day.
But, unless this commons place view of
responsibility is laid hold of by in
creasing numbers in the future of our
country, we will not say that our So
ciety will go to pieces, but we will say
that our calamities will increase, and
that we will get into more troubles,
and not SO soon out of them, compar-
ed with which the dangers and dis
tresses of the past will seem almost
insignificant

his patients on mere heaps of husks

dirty rags to cover them, the food has

mother with her two children were

a RAILROAD conductor who permits
a passenger to travel on his train
taking with him goous known to the
conductor TO be stolen is not liable to
an action therefor by the owner of the
goods, according to q recent decision
of the Supreme Court of Maine, in the
ease Of Randlette VS.. Judkins. The
Court, in giving judgement, said /:
''The railroad is public highway
over which all members Of the public
who are in a proper condition to travel
in q public car, who pay the estab-
lished far6 and conduct themselves
properly, have legal right to travel
with luggage. 1t is the legal duty of
the conductor to permit all such per
sons to enter the cars and travel over
the road. For sufficient cause he may
stop the train and eject a traveller
from the train. He owes no legal
duty to the public to stop his train
and eject traveller who is guilty of a
felony, or to arrest such traveller and
hold him as a prisoner, and seize the
property he may have in his posses
sion. AS citizen he may have the
right, il he sees 1T, to arrest 8 traveller
who is guilty of 3 felony, and hold
him until he can be properly prose
euted; but not being aa officer charg-
ed with the duty, and having no legal
warrant therefor, he is under no legal
duty to do so, and thereby take upon
himself the burden and hazard OF
iustifying his act. Nor does he owe
any duty to any member Of the pub
lie to arrest thief, and seize and hold
the stolen property he may have in
his possession; or TO seize and hold for
the owner, whoever he may be, goods
which traveller on the road may have
taken and is carrying away as tres
passer."

Western Land settlement.

The increase in entries of land in 1884
at some of the land offices was so remark
able that the st. Paul Pioneer Press has
obtained the statistics from the officials.
In Dakota the acres entered in 1889
amounted to 12,457, $50. but in 1884 the
entries dropped to 7,975,648 acres, and OF
these entries over 100000 acres were at
Offices not open the previous year. AT
Fargo, the entries fell from 100000
acres In 1883 to only $4,000 in 1884, and
at Bismarck from 100000 in 1883 to
about 100000 in 1884. In Minnesota the
entries were 2.749,4 acres in 1888, and
1902, 100 in 1885; the entries in Wiseon-
sin were All, 200 acres In 1888, and $780,
764 In 1884. The speeulators appear TO
have taken up most Of the land rendered
desirable by railroads built thus far in
these states, and In Dakota she increase
in entries indicates that the same Is true
to considerable extent. Bat the settle
msnt and the opening Of newfarms does
not Kesp pace with the entry OF land for
speculation, though the marked decline
In the prices of farm products might
naturally cause considerable decrease
in the number Of new farms now oceu-
pied.
