wear now, against about nine mllilons ny

The fact that the state OF limos
makes more whisky than any other does
not argue that she has more dlstliieries
than other states. There were IN opera
tion in the state of Illinois last
wear thirty-nine distilleries, while IN the
state of North Carolina there were IN OPP
Grafton 1856 distilleries; and YET tne
state of Illinois makes more whisky III
one day than North Clrolina makes IN
wear. The difference is that Illinois has
q few monster distilleries, while those IN
North Carolina are little ones, most OF
them merely used for distilling fruit
brandy. Yet there are nearly 400 grain
distilleries in North Carolina, but their
capacity Is only for about five bushels OF
grain per day each, while the Illinois
distilleries use thousands of bushels
day.
The various sections of the country
seem to ha ,e habits of their own in re-
gard to the production of intox-
icants. Illinois, Ohio and Indiana
make mostly what is known to the
trade as neutral spirits" or cologne
spirits" which can be favored and made
into almost any class of goods required.
The Bourbon whisky is really all made IN
Kentucky; Rye whisky is made In Penn
svlyania and Maryland; nearly all the fruit
brandy made in the country is manufac-
tured in Virginia, Tennessee, North caro-
lima, Kentucky and Georgia. The gin Is
made mostly in Ohio, New York, Massa-
chusetts and Illinois. The rum Is nearly
all made in New England, the state OF
Massachusetts having seven out of the
nine rum distillerles of the country.
1t may be interesting to note i'll this
connection that the average amount OF
whisky made from bushel of grain was
fraction over four gallons, and that the
amount of ram made from gallon oil
molasses is a fraction less than gallon
This may enable the curious to calculate
Just how many DRINKS are 20 be had III
bushel of corn and gallon of molassas
and how much is wasted when they are
destroyed by eating them for food instead
of saving them to be made into beverage
Of the S0,0C0,000 gallons of condensed
crime manufactured in this country III the
year, about 100000 gallons, or 10 pei
cent, goes abroad. Not so much Is sent
abroad now as year or two ago, when the
distillers were seeking to delay the pay
ment of taxes by this process. Of The
amount sent abroad during the year
100000 was alcohol and nearly as muct
more was Bourbon whisky. A very larg'
share of the alcohol went to France ant
Spain, evidently to be used for fortifyins
their wines, and probably will come bacl
to this country in high priced champagne
OF the 100000 gallons of Bourbon whis
ky that Kentucky sent abroad, over 1000,
600 gallons went to Bremen; much of it tt
lie there for while to avoid payment o
taxes, and then be shipped back home
when there is a demand for it. Some wa
sent to Hamburg for the same purpose
and some to Bermudas. New England, re

OUR PRESIDENTS SISTER.

Miss Rose Cleveland, the presidents
sister, was interviewed short while ago
by a reporter of the New York World in
reference to her disagreement with the
edition of Literary Life, and is reported
to have said:
eyes, it is true that l have dissolved my
connection with both Mr.. Elder and Liter
airy Life. My connection with Mr.. Ell
der's magazine was from July
to October. My associations with
the publisher were of an amicable
character until he broke one of the com
pacts that 1 had made with him. This 1
didn't like, and wrote him so. As time
passed on 1 saw that we could never get
along on good terms, and therefore closed
my connection with him. My disgust was
further heightened when l learned that
people whose articles l had accepted bad
not been compensated. l do not desire to
say anything more on this subject as il
pains me to think of it. My health, a;
you can see, is excellent. What my failure
intentions are l cannot as yet say. have
many offers, but have made no arrange
ments so far"

values

increase in values in this
country in the last quarter of century,
but it never occurs to them to give the
per cent. of increase. They know how
much it falls below the per cent. of the
free trade period.
If A. has $1000,000 invested and gets
$4,000 annually from it, the figures look
big: but if B. has 100000 invested and
gets $4,000 annually from 1t, while his
figures are not so many, his per cent. is
larger.
The per cent. is the only way of iudg-
ING. and when that is the crucial test the
free trade period is way ahead of the pro-
lection regime.

GREER COUNTY LAND CASE
THE STATES TITLE MAINTAINED
BY JUDGE WALKER

His honor, Judge Walker, of the district
court, rendered judgment yesterday in the
important case of the State VS.. the Day
Land and Cattle company, involving the
validity of patents to large bodies of land
in Greer county, upon which veteran GER
tificates have been located. The decision
will have wide range in its bearings upon
other similar locations of land in the same
county, amounting, perhaps, in value to
$1,000,000.
Judge Walker finds from the testimony
as to the facts, as follows:
First-That the lands described in the
petition are situated in the county of
Greer, state of Texas, and are owned by
the state, (save as affected by the matters
heretofore stately
Second-The patents described i'll the
petition were issued as therein alleged.
Third-The patentees, by deed, con-
veyed their right to the said lands to the
Day Land and Cattle company, defendant,
(save as to two tracts of 1890 acres each
the Elizabeth Henry and John W. Healer
tracts, in which there is break in the
chain of title, but the defendant has a
deed for them.)
fOurUn-IHe LAY Idllu anu OdUViO Noiti
pany, is claiming said lands through said
patents-their claim being adverse to the
state.
In matter of law the court holds:
Firstly act of the Legislature of the
state of Texas, February 25, 1879, all va
cant and unappropriated public domain
within the territorial limits of Greer county
was reserved from location.
Second-The act of March 10, 1871
/ granting the veteran land certificates, die
not limit or repeal the said act of Febru
airy %, 1879.
Third-The location of the veterans
certificates within the Greer county reser
walton was against the law; nor did tn,
subsequent issuance of patents legaliz,
the locations. Both locations and patents
therefore, are void.
Fourth-The findings at former day o
term upon exceptions and demurrer are re
ferred to, and made part of the record.
Fifth-The state is entitled to judgmen
for the land, and decree annulling salt
patents and restraining the Day Land an
Cattle company from asserting OWNERSHIP
of the land under said patents.
Judgment will be rendered for plalntlt
A. >. WALKER, Judge.
The defendants will appeal the case t.
the supreme urt, and it may be tina
pending the appeal the legislature ma
take some action in the matter.

TILE TRIBUNE ON CAkLIsLE.

1t is a rule of nature that objects take
the hue of the medium through which
they are viewed. The New York Tribune,
in long -labored editorial, attempts to
compare Carlisle with Blaine. Things
that are Numerically opposed cannot be
compared. 1t is possible to tell what Car
Isle is and what he has done, and also do
the same with Blaine, but comparison,
never. You cannot compare white with
black: they can be contrasted, but never
compared. This much for the attempt at
a comparison.
Take the following from the Tribune:
Mr.. Carlisle has distinguished himself
by causing two panics, the sudden con
traction of currency and collapse of
prices which followed the passage of his
currency bill some years ago, and the
long prostraton of industry which result
ed from his election as speaker, and his
selection of Mr.. Morrison to lead the
assault on the tariff. No doubt he hon
estly believed that his attempt to coerce
The national banks was for public good,
and that reform of tariff in the direction
of free trade would help industry. In
both cases his blunders were disastrous to
the country.
Can any one imagine what greater hon
or can be done man in this country than
to be able to say of him that he can build
up or wreck government? Can any
thing be more absurd than that Carlisle
coald do all that is attributed to him -!
This is no one-man government, which
can, by the mere act of anyone, be thrown
into a chaotic state. One man might
start revolution that would terminate
in ruin, but it must be with the combined
efforts of numberless others. The Trib
une does Carlisle much honor in setting
him on such a pinnacle of greatness
Take just one jewel from the above clip
ping "the long prostration of industr.
which resulted from his (Carlisle's) cleo
} ton as speaker" Here the whole govern

house of representatives. If this be true
| the democracy had better let all else i
politics go, the presidency, the senate, etc
and turn their attention to a majority @
congress.
We have been under the impressio
that the republicans attributed the "pro
tration of industry" to democratic pre-
ident and all his attendant "evils." Whe
did this prostration commence? Did i
inception not date from at least a yea
before the election of Carlisle as speaker
: An answer to the charge of the Tribur
: would be absurd. Since that shinir
e light has so decreed all the plaques ar

ton is held, nor worlds fair visited, but a
mighty protest is put in by mankind
against the artificial restrictions upon
trade imposed by unwise governments
Free traders may patiently wait for their
theories to triumph through the natural
growth Of mercantile requirements.

FREE TRADERS NOT ALARMED.

The hope and encouragement land the
jubilations that protectionists are able
to get out of the defeat of Messrs. Morri-
son, Hurd and Springer, and the narrow
majority of Carlisle, are something truly
phenomenal If every advocate of tariff
reform within the United States had been
cleft" by majorities unparalleled, there
would have been nothing to discourage
any thoughtful free trader in such a result.
Nothing from philosophical or historical
stand point. But when it is remembered
that republican protectionists made "a
dead set" at thoseprominent free traders,
and did their work so quietly ard skill
fully that not suspicion of their little
scheme was entertained till the dirty job
was accomplished, there is absolutely no
significance attached to the defeat of
these men. The very great probability is
that, had square issue been raised
and fought out, free trade would
have triumphed. But by way of
presenting our views of this great question
so that our protectionist friends may see
how little such election results affect ouI
hopes and purposes, we will allow that
these gentlemen were defeated by the
people, after a thorough presentation
of the issue and due notice of the time ant
place for the fight upon it-a bona tid'
defeat, in other words, at the polls W,
grant for the sake of argument.
Then we call attention TO the consola
ton that we not unnaturally derive from
the history of other great reforms tina
have met backset after backset by defeat
at the polls and in congresses and parlia
ments, often Just before complete tri
umph of the reform principle. Con
spicuous among which is the defeat in tn
English parliament, within two years o
the complete triumph. of the reform FIRE

THE RIGHT SOUND.

Most encouraging reports from Massa-
chusetts are coming in. The Boston
Globe (dem.) says that the democracy in
Massachusetts is increasing every Gay,
and adds:
"The presence of President Cleveland
made an impression so favorable that
hundreds who were on the verge of com
ing over have new fully decided upon this
important step, and thousands of voters
who cast their votes in perfunctory way
for the republican ticket are rapidly
reaching the point where they will cast in
their lot with democracy and clean
politics.

GEORGE VS.. POWDERLY.

The Denver Tribune-Republlcan COM
bats the suggestion of the Denver News
that Henry George, as the strongest,
brainiest and most popular of all the labor
leaders, being free trader, will neutral
ize the political influence with the work
ingmen, of Mr. Powderly, who has said:
Il am protectionist from the crown of
my head to the sole of my foot" This
is an insidious attempt" says the T.-R.,
''to lead the workingmen of Colorado
away from the republican party and pro-
lection" And that paper continues:
Ii is not true that Henry George is "the
strongest, brainiest and most popular of all the
labor leaders" Mr.. Powderly is. Mr.. George is
a theorlst, pure and simple; Mr.. Powderly prac-
teal energetic worker for the cause of labor and
in every sense leader Mr.. Powderly represents
the yiaws of all wOrkingmen on the tariff; Mr.
George does not.
Then it would seem that no working
man, in the late New York election, sup
ported Mr.. George, who avowed himself a
free trader, pure and simple. How to ac-
count for his $4,000 votes is the puzzle.
