cHURoH AND FINANCES.
Two of the Important Issues Now
Before the People of Germany.


Before the People of Germany.
BERLIN, May 29.--The committee
appointed in the Reichstag to consider the
subject OF taxation of liquors, has decided
to increase the spirit tax generally, but
will propose further modification of the
tax on malt liquors. The report OF the
committee Is not ready, and will not be
presented TO the Reichstag until after the
Whitsuntide recess. Herr Wlndthorst
and other members OF the Centre
party desire TO postpone dis
cussi0n OF the bill until
autumn. They concede that provisional
law is required in order to meet with the
pressing financial exigencies. The Pro-
gressists and Socialists will support the
demand OF the Centre party for postpone
ment of the debate on the spirit measure.
The conservative members of the icom-
mittee urge that further notifications be
made, alleging that the project in It's pres
ent form would be fata TO the agricul-
tural interests Of the country.
Herr ScholE, the Prussian Minister OF
Finance, refuses to give the committee Il
detailed statement Of the financial wants
OF the government on the ground that 1t
thoroughly understands the position ia
which the government is placed. Among
Cne signs indicating the end OF the hult-
urakampfare are the facts that the
Bishop of BresIau has sent to
the Presidents OF the provinces OF Si-
lesia and Brandeuberg and Pomerania
lists OF the names Of the priests about to
be appointed TO parishes in those provin-
ces; that the Bishop of Lumburg has sent
a similar list to the authorities Of Mas
sau; that the Catholic seminary at Bres-
lau has been reopened, aud that all Cath
olic colleges for boys throughout Prussia
will soon De open.

CHICAGO, May 29.-It is learned that
Spies, Schwab, Fielden, Parsons, Fischer,
Engel, Lingg, Seliger, Schnaubel and
Neebe were indicted under six charges.
The hrst two are contained in two volum-
inous indictments in which the defendants
are named collectively. One of these is a
''bOmb" indictment. which charges them
with willful murder in igniting iuse and
casting a bomb into the ranks of the pO-
lice. The other is the same, except that
''reYoiver and bullets'' is used IN place Of
bomb. Besides these there is an indict-
ment against each OF the ten men named
charging them as individuals with the
crime OF murder by bOmb throwing, and
also another set Of indictments charging
them with murder by pistol shots.
ANOTHER SERIES.
In addition to the two series of indict-
ments charging the defendants with mur-
der there is also series charging the ten
persons named with "consDiring to mur-
der" These words ''conspiring 10 muir
der' taking the place in this series Of the
words "kilP' and skill and MURDER"
which are mentioned in the first two
series. The six conspiracy indictments

Will the Press tell us what Councillor Chase had
to do with tabulating the returns from the town of
Ashland? Those returns were not inspected by
him-Argus.
Councillor Chase was a member of the cons
mittee on elections which tabulated the re-
turns and signed their report. Whatever
that report contained he made himself re-
sponsible for equally with the other members
of the committee. 1t is rather late for the
Tabulator to attempt to saddle the response
bility of all the crookedness of the count-out
on to his wicked partners. Now, will the
Argus be kind enough to tell us if it thinks
it was in accordance with the strict letter of
the law to count votes thrown for Isaac F..

to count votes thrown for John Burndn for

The new tariff bill has peculiar interest

The new tariff bill has peculiar interest
for the people of Maine, for if it becomes a
law lumber, dressed granite, hay and pota-
toes, nearly all of Names staples, will go on
the free list. The duty on dressed granite is
now 20 per cent, on potatoes 10 cts. per bush
Ell and on hay So per ton, and on manufac-
tured lumber from 10 to 20 per cent, accord
ing to the variety. Take these duties off and
our farmers and lumbermen will be subject
ed to the ruinous competition of Canada.
Our fishermen understand what that means
by bitter experience, and our farmers and
lumbermen would soon know if this
bill should become a law. The great number
of laboring men who are dependent upon
the wages derived from our farms, our saw
mills and our granite quarries, too would
very sensibly feel the effect of this proposed
cut down. Luckily a Republican Senate
stands between them and this raid of the
Democratic free traders on the industries on
which they depend for their support.

San Francisco naturally enough was not
pleased at the way in which Seattle under
took to dispose of its Cinnamon. The Post
of that city says:
Seattle is unable to endure the presence of
400 Cinnamon, but we, who already have 3d.
600, and whose circumstances make resort
to force out Of the question, are expected to
accommodate all that other places see fit to
send us. San Francisco has become the
dumping ground for the Chinese offal of the
whole coast. This is not fair, and it is not
to be endured. Shifting the unwelcome
Mongolians around from one place to another
may serve the purpose of making it so un-
comfortable for them that they will either
return home or move eastward; and the re-
ports of these doings NAV deter others from
coming from China. To this extent the up
risings and boycottings are to be counted for
good, but the evil is too deep-seated and
general to be thus cured. What is wanted is
an act from Congress prohibiting further
Chinese immigration. There never will be
peace until such law is made and enforced.
