substance passed the House This
objection will be met by an
argument showing that these meas
ures. while they relate to the in
ternal revenue, are simply amendatory
of laws now in existence, and are
gerrEane to the fractional gallon bill. The
fractional gallon bill is strictly a revenue
measure, as it provides for new methods
for taxing the fraction gallons OF distilled
spirits, and is intended TO prevent frauds.
II does not affect the brandy interests. This
bill has passed the House and the Senate
Finance Committee. If tie Stanford
amendment should be carried the bill will
go back to the House for concurrence. In
the meanwhile, the free export bill may
pass the House, and will give another OPP
pOrtunity for Il Senate amendment.

Governor Hill and Decoration Day.
New YORK, June 2d.-The absence of
Governor Hill from Decoration Day cere-
monies here is the subject of some criti-
cism on the part of the critics, who insist
that there is personal as well as political
antagonism between him and President
Cleveland The Governors friends allege
that the imputation is utterly unfounded.
The only reason why he did not accept
the invitation was the pressure of
official duties Unfortunately for this
explanation somebody has been ransack-
ing the file of the Elmira Daily Gazette
formerly edited by Mr., Hill, to show from
its columns that he was always inimical to
the celebration of Decoration Day on
principle. His exact language as editor is
this: We deprecate the proposition by
the joint resolution of Congress to make
the 30th of May forever legal holiday for
decoration purposes. 1t could never be
national. we want no holidays in which
all the people of all the States of the Union
cannot participate.
