We ask any candid, thinking man, what
possible good could be accomplished by re-
ducing this taxation single dollar.
\ The total receipts from internal revenue
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1884, were
Sl2l, 59O,O39s3 For the year ended June
80, 1856, they were 1921 ,121.O7. The
receipts for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1886, are not yet published.
In his last report Commissioner of PEN
sions Black says that the amount paid pen
sioners for the year ended June 80, 1856, was
s64 933,2s5. The receipts from the tax on
distilled spirits for the same period were
SG7,5ll Dos or nearly 100000 more.
If there is to be any matching Of receipts
with expenditure, the most ordinary states
mansbip would suggest the policy of making
the whisky tax pay pensions instead of
drawing them from new and most intolera-
bic form Of taxation. If TO distilled spirits
we add the s26, 407, 0ss collected last year on
tobacco and the ls,23O,7s2 collected on fer
mented liquors we viii have an ample
amount to meet the expenditures caused by
the passage Of the Equalization of Bounties
Bill, the Arrears Bill, the Disabled Soldiers
Bill, the Prisoner Of War Bill, and several
minor measures that are demanded in the
name Of justice.

The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1886-07-08

If there should be any reduction in the
interest Of the poor man if should be in this
tax, but when we remember that the tax on
cigars is but three-tenths of cent each, IN
cigarets but one-twentieth Of a cent each,
and on tobacco but eight cents pound, there
does not seem TO be any urgent cry for re-
duc;ion. 1t would be difficult to make the
tax any lower without abolishing it alto
gether, which it would be very unwise to do.
The next great division of the internal
revenue is that of fermented liquors. The

HEAVY FAILURE AT BOSTON.

large importers West India traders and commits
sion merchants, who have been in business be-
tween forty and fifty years. announce their fail
nre to day, assigning to Joseph Brussel. a conf
dental employe Their liabilities are 5000 600
direct and $500, 600 indirect, and their nominal
assets are good. The firm is the agent Of the
the Boston & Savannah Steamship Company,
which is not affected at all. The Eastern
steamship line. running to points in the prov
inces, is owned, in great part. by the irm and is
therefore affected by the failure. The cause Of
the assignment is the general dullness of the
business in which the firm is engaged The firm
is composed of Frank w. Nickerson, Alfred A.
Nickerson and Elkaniah Crosby.
Nothing definite can be stated about the as
sets. They include extensive West Indian and
other foreign interests. and other investments
which it will take long time to develop The
Indebtedness of the firm is chiefly to national
banks, on time notes and on c0llaterals. The
causes of the failure are manifold. The first
blow affecting the credit Of the firm was the
wreck of the City of Columbus. of the Savannah
line, two years ago. They have dealt largely in
hemp. sugar and other staples of commission,
and also in direct trade It is impossible to
make any statement about the probable relation
the firm hope that, with careful nursing. the as
sets will yield very good dividend to the cred
itors. The creditors named in the assignment
are Adeline T. Nickerson, Adeline N. Parker,
Priscilla s. Nickereon, Robt. Powell & Co., c. A.

BUILDING A NAVY.
The Measure Proposed by the Committee
Meets but Little Criticism

The Measure Proposed by the Committee
Meets but Little Criticism.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 3-Altogether the rough
draft of bill for the reconstruction of the navy,
which was given out by the House committee on
naval affairs, several days ago, has withstood
criticism pretty we'll Nothing better seems to
have been suggested. and it is likely that it will
be reported to the House in very much the same
shape it is now in.
1--WE only made it as a suggestion, basis to
work on" said Chairman Herbert, ''and we ex-
pected much criticism of it and to see good
deal Of serious fault found with it, but it holds
pretty we'll its form. Tt will not be many days
before we expect bill of this kind to come up
in the House We want it passed and sent over
to the Senate to take precedence there before
the regular navy and other appropriation bills
get ahead of it."
1t Is generally believed that there will be no
retaliation from the Republicans for the action
of the Democrats two years ago, when Secretary
Chandler was refused money with which to COM
plete the monitors, build cruisers, etc. The
Republicans will remind the Democrats of that
meanness, but at the same time view the pres
ent reconstruction bill impartially.

THE RICH TRAGEDY.

ST. PAUL, Minn., March 3.-Interest in the
murder of Mrs. Fanny Smith Rich, by her hus-
band, intensifes with time j. H. Shepard
Smith, Of Cobleskill. N. Y. arrived to-day.
Smiths first movements here were we'll guarded,
but early in the day he met DR.. Gale. who is
supposed to be still in the city. When asked
what he could tell in regarn to Gales history,
etc, he said: ''Gale might have been at the lat
ter's house and prescribed for Mrs. Rich"
''What was the extent of Mrs. Rich's prop
erty. and where is itf'
.'At Cobleskill, and it amounts to about $780,
900 or $780, 000"
'.How much money did Mrs. Rich bring West
with herq"
1.-TWO thousand dollars which furnished her"
Smith then stated that he knew Mrs Rich was
going to leave, in order TO 'shake" her husband,
but he did not know that Gale was going with
her until Monday. when the pair left, after
he had supplied Mrs. Rich with So 600. He
said that Rich was unbearable, but declined to
particularize further than to say that Rich had
squandered $1,000 of his wife's property during
the past year. Rich's idiosyncrasies were beyond
human comprehension. He had shotgun in his
room. which. he said. he was going to oil. but
supposed it was kept there to ntimidate his wife.
The divorce which Mrs. Rich secured from Trim
BILE, her first husband, was caused by Rich, who
represented himself as wealthy pawn-broker,
or cotton broker worth $500 600. The divorce was
q legal one. 1t would take column to describe
Richs idiosyncrasies.
