Decrease i'm Revenue Receipts.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-The fact that the
falling off in the spirit taxes for July and
August, as compared with the same months
in 1884, was due to the extension of the
bonded period by Secretary McCulloch,
and not the increase in illicit dis
tilling, is amply shown by the re-
turns for September and October.
In July and August the taxes on spirits dis
titled from grain showed a falling off OF
1851, 600, as compared with the same
months of the previous year. In spite OF
an increase in the beer and tobacco taxes
this large reduction made reduction III
total revenue for the two months OF more
than a million and quarter. The total
internal revenue receipts, however, Tor
September show a gain over September,
1884, of 81, 10, 600. and the receipts for
October will show a gain Of 81, 400, 900 over
the receipts for October, 1884. The seven
months added to the bonded period by the
order of Secretary McCulloch enabled the
holders to defer payment of taxes on
large part of the spirits, the three years
period of which expired between last
January and August. This order was
rescinded by Secretary Manning
last August, and consequently
in September all spirits that had been in
bond three years had to travel abroad to
pay taxes and evidently good part of it
paid taxes. There were ON the rolls Of the
bureau many storekeepers and gaugers
who were not assigned to duty. Under
this provision three or four hundred per-
sons who were doing nothing and getting
no pay were dismissed. 1t did not reduce
the expenses of the bureau or impair the
bureaus ability to collect the revenue and
prevent frauds upon the government.

A Station Agent Goes Wrong.

Special to the Globe.
WATERLOO, Ia, Oct. 29.-An investi-
CATION into the affairs connected with the
management of the freight department of
the Illinois Central railway, in this city,
has just revealed quite a sensation. 1t is
charged that the station agent has been in
cOlluSiOn with local dealer, and has put
coal which came here for the use of the
railroad company in the yards of the dealer.
where it was sold and no account of it ever
made to the company. The agent has been
in charge of the station about twenty years,
and it is claimed that this work
has been going On for long
period. J. F. Titus of Chicago trav-
cling auditor, and several other officials
of the road and a representative of the
Guaranty Company of North America We're
here and examined the yard men employed
here, and oIfe of the witnesses stated that
for the past three years about one car per
week Oh the average was lost to the COM
pany in that way. Another scheme was to
have the coal belonging to the dealer come
in fifteen-ton carloads. while the c0mpany's
coal came in twenty-ton loads. and cars
would be exchanged, thus giving the dealer
the extra five tons. An examination of the
books in the agents Office showed no crook
edness there. He was released yesterday
and another agent appointed. A prominent
official of the Iowa division states this morn
ing that careful estimate placed the loss
to the companyat fully sos, 900. He also
said that the deposed agent had paid over
large sum of money, and it is probable
that a settlement will be effected and no
legal proceedings Instituted against him.
The scheme was discovered by checking off
all the cars of coal which came west through
Dubuque and comparing wi tn reports from
this point. and the matter has been watched
for six days.

Enthusiastic Democrats.

New YORK, Oct. 29.-At large Dem
ocratic mass meeting in Brooklyn tonight
ex-Gov. Daniel Worries of Indiana was
the principal speaker. In his opening sen
tences he alludes to the death of Gen. Nc
Clellan in feeling manner. ''The heart
of the nation will, " he said, ''beat heavily
to his tomb when he shall be buried, and
tonight the cheeks of many veteran are
wet with tears" Speaking on political
subjects, he referred to the question asked
by Judge Foraker of Ohio at the recent Re
publican, meeting in this city, as to what
the Democratic party had done to restore
business prosperity. The speaker would
reply by asking, ''What has the Republican
party done to destroy it?''
The Democratic party has not had an op-
portunity, he said, for quarter of CEN
tury to make single law. 1t had begun
its work and he thought that about twelve
years would be required to complete it.
Then he proceeded to arraign the RepubIi-
can party. Mr.. Worries was followed by
George L. Converse of Ohiy, who delivered
substantially the same address as that of
Tuesday evening before the New York
county Democracy. AS Mr.. Converse con-
cluded, Gov. Hill, the Democratic candidate
for governor, appeared on the stage and
was most enthusiastically received. He

his action III regard to payment for ocean

mistaken. The postmaster general did not
take the action he did without very care
fully examining the whole matter, and
his annual report will pres ent to con-
gress such an array Of facts that the con-
greSSonal advocates of steamship pools will
ind it very difficult to make even show of
attack. Two mails a week to Cuba are all
that have ever been furnished the business
men OF New York. The department now
furnishes six mails a week from New York
to Tampa and three mails a week from
Tampa to Havana. a steamer is now be-

Tampa and Havana line, giving four mails
a week. and the service viii be increased to
six times a week before long. The time

in progress are completed from four days to
SiXty-eight hours. To Nassau there has
never been more than one mail month.
Arrangements are now being made which
will give a weekly mail to Nassau. In some
respects there has been more difficulty in
arranging the mails for Northern South
America than for any other region, but the
department is already sending mails
four and five times a month to Venezuela,
instead OF three times as was the former
practice. When congress meets it will have

service before Aug. 1 last and since then

port, and the length of the trips, and the
Pacific Mail and the New York Tribune

thus be made. At the same time the post
master general is ready at any time to pay
any American steamer very handsomely for
carrying the mails when its owner will con-
sent to be reasonable and allow the com
pensation TO bear some ratio to the amount
of service rendered.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The elections
which occur in New York and Virginia
next Tuesday are the principal topics here.
There are to be elections in nearly dozen
states On chat day, but the greatest interest
centers in these two. In New York, be-
sides the governor, there are to be elected
other state officers, five supreme court JUS
tices and the legislature. Iowa, Missis-
sippi, Virginia and Massachusetts, also elect
governors and legislatures. Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut
also hold elections on that day. The great
interest, however centers in New York
and Virginia, for in each Of those status
efforts are made to not only reverse
the politics of the state generally,
but to send Democrats to the United States
senate to fill seats now held by Republicans.

Shern,an,s speech.

Special TO the (IlODe-
PETERSBURG, Va, Oct. Ex-senator
Sherman, in his speech here tonight, pro-
tested that he had not waved the bloody shirt
in Ohio, and claimed that he had only insisted
that the fruits of the war should be pre-
served. He said that he contended against
the war on the purity of the ballot box and
not against the war of the Rebellion. 1t
was of the present and not of the past he
would talk. He appealed to men of all par
ties to insist upon fair election on this Oc-
casion in Virginia. He then reviewed the
lifework of John Marshall and Thomas JEFF
ferson, holding that the one laid down and
maintained the principle of unity, while
the latter insisted upon the false and per-
nicious doctrine of state rights. These men,
he contended, labored to engraft these
principles onto the governmental system for
the first half Of the century, but Marshall
won. But when the question of slavery
obtruded itself under the leadership of j ohm
G. Calhoun, the Jeffersonian idea in more
contracted form gained ground. Sherman
then reviewed the resources of Virginia,
and said they exceeded those of Pennsyl-
vania or any Western state, and argued
that national unity was necessary for their
development. Then followed the usual Re-
publican protection dogma, always ad-
vanced in manufacturing states,
ON THE THEORY
that it is alike conducive to the best inter-
ests of both capital and labor. AS to ap-
pointments Sherman said only the offensive
partisans had been put out and rascals had
been put in their places. AS to the surplus
in the treasury he denied that any had been
paid out as Mr.. Hendricks and others had
pledged should be done. He insisted that
the Democracy could not contest with the
Republicans any question of the past
or of the present. He argued
that the only achievement of
the reform administration was the bank
ruptcy of John Roach, the head of the
greatest ship-building house on the conti-
nent and one of the greatest in the world.
On finances he said the Democracy had eX-
cluded fractional silver from the count as
money, done all they could to depreciate
silver in the market and now openly oppose
the coinage of a silver dollar that will cir
culate side by side with the gold dollar.
No burden of the people had been lessened,
he added. by this administration. Then
he contrasted this with the policy of the
Republican party. In conclusion he said
he felt deep interest in the election of
Wise and the reelection of Gen. Malone,
both ex-Confederates of tried valor, and
added that he had confidence that the end
of sectional animosity is at hand and the
country Oh the eve of an unbounded prosper
ity.
