WATERS RECEDING.

Yesterday completely ratified the high
water scare. When the morning arrived
the Little river had dropped back into its ac-
customed channel and lowered the red flag
This was decidedly good news to many who
had already suffered some inconvenience. A
few entertained themselves by threatening to
file complaints against the impudent waters
for damages already done. but others adopted
the plan of pumping it out of the cellars and
repairing damages

G. W. Palmer, prominent merchant at
Douglas, was in the city yesterday. Be was
laying in a supply of goods from our whole
sale houses and expressed himself as agreea-
bly, surprised at the appearance and bigness

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: Having
read the article in Tuesday mornings RE-
PUBLICAN In reference TO the demoralized
condition Of the Metropolitan police of this
District, and concerning favoritism exist
ING in the several precincts Of the same,
] wish to say few words In simple justice
to the lieutenant and the sergeants OF the
sixth precinct. The lieutenant has been in
command OF said precinct for more than
tN years, during which time there has not
been heard one word OF complaint as to
favoritism among the men. 1t is true, the
"tell-talen policeman or 'suckerh can be
found in this as we'll us In other precincts,
but he does not meet with favor, nor does
he secure a listening ear OF any of the SER
geants, and he would not dare approach
the lieutenant with tales about fellow
officer. IL is fact that some discomfort
existed during Maj. Dyes command on ac-
count OF the manner in which promotions
ing been made without regard to length OF
service. II can be said OF the lieutenant
that he is competent and diligent officer
and as perfect gentleman as can be
found on or off the force. And whites he
requires OF his men a strict observance Of
the rules and regulations governing the
department, an1 thorough performance
OF duty, he has for them In return undl-
vlded Kindness and consideration. The
same may be said Of the sergeants who are
attached to this station. The men are
bound to one another by sympathy and
long association; and, as a whole, every
thing runs smoothly as clockwork. The
assertion Of "The Old Ollcern that "the
police force today is In its worst form of de-
moral2atlon" is, think, slight exaggera-
ton. A MEMBER or THE SIXTH,

Remission of Tax on Sweet Wines.

The report OF the committee on finance,
on the amendments proposed to the bill
relating to the tax of fractional parts OF a
gallon of distilled spirits, has been pre-
scented In the Senate. The committee
say, regarding the special bonded ware
houses for fruit brandles that, owing to the
fact that no bonding privileges are ex-
tended to theproducts Of apples or peaches,
there Is not only great hardships expe-
rienced from the levying OF internal reve-
nue. tax upon them, but also great in
centive to fraud. SIT is therefore greatly TO
the interest, not only Of the producer and
the government, but also TO the consumer,
that the amendment should be enacted into
law. AS means to prevent fraud 1t would
certainly result In an increase Of public
revenue" Regarding the amendment pro-
viding for the use Of wine spirits distilled
from grapes, free Of tax, In the fertilization
Of sweet wines, the committee say that the
internal revenue tax collected on wine
spirits, necessarily used in the fertilization
OF sweet wines, constitutes In effect tax
upon sweet wines, and represents an in
creased cost TO the producer Of about 20
cents gallon. 1.-THE sweet wines of this
country can be produced and exported, and
maintain their place In foreign markets, in
successful competition with similar prod
ucts OF other countries II this internal
revenue tax is remitted.n
