SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. LII. d.
Mollanoff, a Russian resident of this city,
claims he has invented nitro-glycerine
bombs. He says he has discovered a
liquid with which nitro-glycerlne may be
mixed, making II non.exploslye, but by
adding another chemical the nitru-glycer-
Inc Is transformed to its original state.
He uses double shell, the inside one
containing the non-exploslve mixture OF
nitro glycerlne, and the other one con-
tanning the chemical which Hberetes the
pure nitro-glycerine. Mai .-Gen. Howard
says the invention is worth looking into.
Other officers have pronounced favorably
upon 1t. The French minister Of war has
sent for details to experiment on tho In
vention.

A revenue reform crisis is about TO be
precipitated upon the country by the
stern and unanswerable logic OF the pro-
cess Of facts without the need Of any help
from verbal argument. This power Is to
come from the relative positions Of the
revenues, the treasury, and tho money
markets, and no man or combination Of
men can stay H. The excessive revenues
collected for the purpose OF sustaining
the present excessively high tariff are
running at more than million dollars
day, and are creating a surplus Of more
than 9 300 900 900 year. In about four
months the last expedlent TO pay out the
accumulatlug surplus Of boarded cur
rency taken out OF trade will have been
exhausted by the final payment OF all the
redeemable debt There will then be no
alternative until 1891 between two expe-
dients--either the cutting down OF the
revenues by lowering tariff taxes, or by
q prohlgate aud ruinous system of public
expenditure and waste, based on the UNI
heard-of and thoroughly aigitous theory
and purpose OF spending, any way and
any how, upward OF u hundred millions
OF unne cessary and superfiuous taxes,
wrung from the toll and sweat Of the peo-
pie. There is no other horn TO the IL
lemma, and the people should 10 * IT
squarely In the face--it Is to be either a
curtallment OK a hundred million dollars
Of unnecessary taxation or an expansion
by over hundred millions IN the unne-
cessary expenditures Of the public serv-
Ice. There can be no possible middle
ground, and the issue cannot be delayed.

Was an Accessory.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. IL The evidence
In the express robbery case as far as made
public goes to prove that the messenger,
David S. Fotheringhem, was an access
DRY, or at least a willing victim in the
affair. The discrepancies in his state
ment 20 the detectives indicates that he
knows more Of the manner In which the
robbery Was planned and executed than
he would like TO have them know. AN
expert penman who was before the grand
jury last Saturday states that the three
letters signed "Jim Cummings" were
written by one and the same man, and
expresses his belief that that
man was Fotheringham, and that
he wrote them before the commission
OF the robbery. 1t now transpires that
the messengers trunk was searched soon
after the robbery, aud number OF sheets
OF paper were found covered with copies
of the signature Of w j. Barrett, mana
ger OF the express company. II Is sup
posed that the messenger became able 10
forge this signature, so that he might
ailix 1t TO the orders which the robber
presented, and which allowed him TO make
the ttip with the messenger. OF course,
II the messenger was in the conspiracy
his accomplces could have entered The
car any way, but the forged orders en-
abled the messenger to give the excuse
that he did. Altogether, II looks bad fol

sage was devoted entirely to state affairs.
He called attention TO the fact that Ala

the revenue she receives into the state
treasury to public schools. He also re-
ferred TO an increase Of $50, 900, 900 in the
assessed value OF the property OF the
state during the last few years. He said
that the whole amount of the tax for the
past ascal year had been collected with
the exception OF 500, a record perhaps
unparalleled in the financial TRANSACT

obligation of the state Including interest
on the bonded debt mad been promptly
