they can reform tariff, it will be passed.
Jap Turpen is to be appointed at last, but he
only gets messengership in the Treasury

protest was laid before the Senate in secret
session. against the confirmation Of collector
of customs in Vermont. It is signed by people
whom the Vermont Senators declared to be
worthy of consideration. The grounds of the
objections are that the collector has appointed
as deputy to take charge of station on the
Canada line, through which several hundred
thousand dollars worth of goods are annually
imported, man who has been three times in
dicted for irregularities in connection with the
customs and who has compromised the affairs
with the Treasury Department. The protest is
said to have given rise to a short but interesting
debate.

resolution Of the Senate calling for the papers

RAILWAY LAND GRANTS.
Prediction that Lands Granted TO Completed
Lines Will Not Be Forfeited.

Prediction that Lands Granted 10 Completed
Lines Will Not Be Forfeited.
Special to the indianapolis Jourral.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-Representative Pay
son, of Illinois, who has long been a member of
the House committee on public lands. does not
believe that any lands granted railroads and ly-
ing alongside completed track will be forfeited
whether the roads were completed within the
prescribed time, because the ultimate compile
ton of the work was sufficient earnest Of the
good intentions of the companies to whom were
made the grants. This practically makes the
work the Democrats are doing in Congress now,
and making such howl about, of no avail
do not mean Mr. Paysons statement makes the
work of no effect. but the fact he has pointed
out.
''If you will study the source of the talk about
land grant forfeitufes," said Western member
to-day, you will discover that little of it is in
good faith. The land question is an issue in the
States west of the Mississippi, and most of the
statesmen come into it. They are nearly all in
favor of the forfeiture of the grants because the
railroads have antagonized or refused to help
them in their campaigns, or are against forfeit
ure because the railroads have control of them
The prairie States congressman of course know
more about this business than any others, but
ought not, from local considerations. be expected
to have the control. The Eastern men can deal
more justly with the question, for it doesn't af-
think the tariff ought to be controlled by men
outside of the States strongly for protection or
free trade We already have too much of the

The Vast Scope of the Measure Proposed by
Prince Bismarck.
Washington Special.
A measure Of great Importance to the liquor
industry of Europe and the world has iust been
laid before the Federal Council of Germany for
action by the Reichstag. 1t has already passed
the government commission having such mat
ters in hand. 1t proposes nothing less than the
placing of the entire spirits and whisky industry
and trade. wholesale and retail, in the hands of
of Berlin, writes in full of the matter to the De-
partment OF State. He says:
''The Importance of this matter is understood
when it is said that the whole number of distil
leres in Germany is 80. 400 and the number Of
drinking places is $50, 900, to which must be
added many thousands of persons who sell
liquors in larger and smaller quantities whole
sale and retail 1t is said that not less than
$500, 900 people are dependent upon this traffic
The revenue from this source in 1885 reached
67,392 Isl marks, or, after deducting the rebate
for that used foT technical purposes, the net is
SO 082 l24 marks or ]. 40 marks per head of the
entire population. The annual amount consumed
is stated at 55 litres OF absolute alcohol per
head 1t is estimated that if the proposed mo.
nopoly becomes a law it will increase the
annual revenue of the government from
about 50000,000 marks to 300 00O 900
marks, whle some claim 1t Will increase
it to 100000, 000 marks. The friends of the
measure point to the United States. where the
spirits stamp-tax alone annually produces from
70,000, 600 to $50 000 000 The proposition is to
divide the net receipts among the various States
of ..le German empire, leaving it to local legis-
laon to still further the tax to suit the
wishes of their constituents. The bill is long
one. 1t provides that the manufacture of the
raw article by private enterprise remains dis
cretionary; nevertheless it is subject to the pro-
vision made in the law that the supply of all raw
spirits by the distillers and the supply of all
kinds from abroad, as we'll as the modification of
the same and its further manufacture into alco-
holc drinks; also, the further sale of liquors of
all kinds, belong to the empire, on whose ac-
count it will be carried on. A monopoly Office

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.--"Congress will do a
great injustice to the coming generation If it does
not repeal the timber-culture land entry act at

is without parallel In the history of London.
Tens of thousands of desperate men were gath
cred in the streets, and only needed some one
more reckless than themselves to lead them to
commit the widest excesses.
The report of an outbreak in Deptford proves
to have been hoax. The police, on hearing the
rumors warned the shopkeepers to close their
stores, thus adding to the panic. The rumors
spread throughout London, and crowds
of people soon expected to see trouble.
The scare originated in the fact that a
jeweler informed the police that he had been met,
in the direction of Greenwich. by body Of 500
rioters, VINO were smashing windows along their
lire of march. With the exception Of some
window breaking in the vicinity of Cumberland
Market not single case of damage was report
ed anywhere.
The Daily News blames the police for not
keeping cool heads. It says that as much harm
has been tone by their timidity as by their in
action on Monday. The control of the police, it
adds, must be placed in different hands, as the
public can never feel confident under the present
government
