Gilbert s. Williams has been appoint ed postmaster at Mansfield Center.

Deputy Collector Dexter, of Norwich, reports to Internal Revenue Collector Troup remarkable case of evasion of the revenue taxes. While investigating af- fairs in this district, MT. Dexter learned that Charles A. Royce, proprietor of a large country store m Gurleyville, in the town of Mansfield, was not paying to- bacco tax, as required from all persons who sell tobacco and cigars. He wrote Mir. Royce, who replied in 8 frank letter, in which he said that he had been in trade for twenty years and had not only paid no tax, but had no idea that it was necessary toa doDso The case was referred to Col lector Troup, together. with MT. Royce's letter, and he has referred the case to Washington. The usual course of the de- partment is to require payment of the arreafss ofdtaxes and apenalty of 50 pel cent. In MT. Royce's case, the rate oi taxes having varied, he would be indebted to the government Two years at SIG each, fourteen years at $5 each and four al g 40, making $99.6O, which, with the 5C per cent. penalty, would amount to $149. 40, due Uncle Sam. The collector is obliged to report the case for prosecution, but such an instanees asc this would probably recommend that it be settled on payment of taxes and penalty. Deputy Collector Dexter reports 2 similar case iu Stonington, where 8 MT. Dennison has paid no tobacco tax for six. years.s fssss

d at
 It is said the Chinese must go. If the Chinese mus go let ns say also that. the an archist must go; the boycott and the strike must go the mormons mustlgo. <. fs F The political corruptionists, the ballot box suffer, the bribe taking judges, and the poodle aldermen must go. We have had enough, ,and far more than enough of these There must be an end once for all of Tweed rings, Ku-klux Klans, carpet ba9gers. ma- chine politicians, Jaehnes, Maloueys, and all that tribe. The legislators who are false to their trusts the servants of the people who serve themselves only the magistrates who sell their opinions and judgments for money or favor-all these must go. The voice of the people has long enough beeu stified by the wranglings of politicians, ea- ger for the spoil the interest of states, cities and communities has long eauugh besn entrusted to the hands of men who have neither the desire nor the capacity to govern wisely or well. All these should go, aud go forever.
 Aud lastly, the saloon must go.. It would be better, perhaps, if the saloon went first, for where the saloon goes there the anti Chinese mob leaders, the anarchists, the socialists, the boycotters, the political cor ruptionists, and most other people whom we do not want would be sure to follow. where the ssloon is, there these mob lead CTS and their kind gather together. If it were not for the saloon there would be lit- tie reason for asking any one to go. The saloon Is the chief breeder of all those things on which anarchism and all social and pe'li' ioll heresies take root and feed
 Idleuess, Ignorance, poverty, and unclean- Illness are the soil which the saloons pre- pare for the nourishment of crime and ev- cry public evil The saloon has no right full place in our industrial system, no good cause for being anywhere Its prosperity means rnin to all things else it's increase means decrease to all things right aud good. It thrives on decay it fattens on ruined homes and lives The saloons must go. The people of Maine and Kansas, If Iowa, Rhode Island. Vermont, and Georgia, have said it; thousand times ten thousand men and women in Christian lands are say ing it today. The saloon must go. The prayers of generations of wives and mothers whose lives have been darkened with the woe of strong drink shall be answered at last-fully and completely answered. i t
