ROAST SHOULDER or MUTTON. - A
shoulder Of mutton weighing five pounds
requires one hour and half to roast it;
if stuffed, a quarter of an hour longer
must be allowed. Before cooking it take
out the bone and fill the space with a
dressing of bread crumbs, pepper, salt,
parsley and mauoram, mixed with an
egg and little butter. The bones will
make quart Of stock for soup.

WASHINGTON, MARCH IS, 1883.
TARIFr-sURpLUs-nEroRM

II is true, as general principle, that
the people should be subjected TO no
greater taxes than are necessary to the
wants Of Government economically
administered, but these wants are not
always correctly represented by the
amount of appropriations voted by
Congress, nor is that administration
of the Government always the most
economical which spends the least
money.
There is probably no civilized
country on the face of the earth
where taxation, great as ii is, and much
as il exceeds the public expenditures,
and unnecessary as it is in some re-
spects, is so little felt or creates so lit
tie complaint, as in the United States.
Said Mr.. Kasson in an article pub
lished in the Forum not long ago, re-
ferring to his share of the customs
duties, as an individual citizen 81 do
not feel it; do not know it; l cannot
discover when or how 1 pay it. No
visible collector calls on me for it, and
my books take no account of it. If l
die, no claim is made for it against
my children or my estate" Continu-
ing, he said:
suppose the OBJ noxious eustom.houses were
abolished, and the $3.50, 200, 900 were raised
by apportloned taxation, as required by
the Constitution. Our annual share Qowa),
which Is now paid In some way without our
knowing It, would be Ss,1oO, 900; that of
Indiana $9,s50,000; that of Illinois S15,-
$4,000, and that of young Minnesota s3,-
100000. This is several times In excess OF
our annual State taxes, and the collector
would haunt our premises till II should be
paid. This would indeed be a burden to be
known and felt; such taxation would eat up
our savings. We prefer indirect
and invisible taxation to the direct and vsi.
Bile.
Yet there are many persons who
regard even customs duties as q
species of oppression, warranted only
by the public necessities, and partak-
ing of the nature of crime when SC
adjusted as to protect the industrial
interests of the country and thereby
create an excess of revenue above ex.
penditure. But we fail to discern the
gross evil or injustice of q system OF
taxation which is neither tangible OIL
perceptible to the tax payer, which
incidentally benefits the wage-worker
which stimulates the investment Of
capital and the accruing surplus Of
which, if any there be, may be ap
piled to the payment of the public
Indebtedness.
Wherever reform of the revenue is
needed let it be had. There can bC
no objection to the reduction of wal
duties to peace standard, beginning
with the internal-revenue tax, the
3 most odious of all the relics of the
war. There is no objection to enlarg
ing the free list or TO greater equity il
the distribution of such duties as are
of protective character, but the re-
formers and revisers all proceed upon
false theory in assuming that an ex
cess of revenues is necessarily dan
ger to the Government, or that the
expenses of the Government must b'
kept down to parsimonious limit il
order TO admit of a corresponding re
duetion of taxes.
A surplus is only danger when thu
craftsmanship is lacking to properly
utilize il.

STORY or COLD DAY.
Tomorrow m
II was girl who spoke that word,
fair girl, the beautiful Ethelfriza Magin-
mis- of Whitehorsevillo, and the spokee
was none other than the naughty and
imperious John Smith, editor of the
Whitehorseville Hairtonic, weekly fam
lily journal.
"What is tomorrow" he;asked, in q
cold, hard voice; voice so hard you
could not break IL with hammer.
Tomorrow" she replied, dreamfully,
tomorrow lovers turn tender eyes to-"
"S'death," he hoarsely whispered
"what are you giving us, me ladyP To-
morrow is Wednesday"
The lovely scion Of the parent stock of
Maginnis was silent.
This Is unusual IN woman and ,forebodes
disaster.
He waited for her to speak.
Such waits are never long.
Tomorrow / will tell you, Mr.
Smith," she murmured, in tender, lubri-
Gated tones, "whether we two shall be
welded OF no."
And the tiger claws could be seen
through the cracks in that voice.
"'Tis WE'LL" he muttered, gloomily, as
he buttoned his overcoat with q button
hook and strobe away.
She had given him that button-hook
for Christmas.
1t had cost 9s cents.
A man is not always hooked so easily.
Without going into the usual parting
particulars, the lovers separated, to meet
again tomorrow.
IL is now tomorrow
Ordinarily tomorrow does not occur
to-day, but in the lovers calendar every
thing goes.
During the night General Greedy had
dumped load Office on the weather.
At noon John Smith knocked at the
created oaken door of the Maginnis man
sion.
He was admitted freely.
Editors always go in that way.
In half an hour he tore madly out
again.
He had seen the beautiful Ethelfrza.
She had seen the naughty and imperi-
Gus J. Smith.
And had gone him one better

ing to the law the Governor is guilty

IF THEY KNEW.

If only my mother knew
How my heart IL hurt within me,
She would take my face In her tender hands
And smooth my check, as she used to do

She, would smo 9TH my face with her tender
hands
II she felt the grief within me.
II only my lover knew
OF the surginR, passionate sorrow,
He would hold me close to his sturdy breast,
As once he held me the long hours through;
When we had not learned 20 live apart,
But leaned for love on each others heart;
ue would hold me close TO his heaYing breast,
II he guessed my passionate sorrow.
But II pieroes me like q knife
10 think that they do not know it:
TO think they can look IN my pleading eyes
Yet never question my hidden life;
Can touch my lips In the same old place,
Yet never look for the soul in my face.

The EDITOR OF THE Cincinnati Com
mercial is evidently trying to work up
boom for General Greely. Hear him
comparing this Capital with ohio's
capital:
In the first place Washington City is an
agreeable place, compared with Columbus, at
this time Of the year. The trees in Washing
ton begin to put forth signs of life. The
buds swell, the bark takes faint tinge of
green, and the tiny blades of grass appear.

WHAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS quite as
much as.it does q rigid pruning of the
tariff is broad and expansive policy
of expenditure, commensurate with
its wonderful growth and unlimited
resources and contradistinguished
from the frugality necessitated by the
straitened circumstances of an earlier
period in its history. There are
rivers to improve in the interest of
commerce; naval defenses to be pro-
vided in the interests of peace; har-
bors to be deepened; canals to be
built; the American marine to be
re-established; public buildings to be
erected at the National Capital and
elsewhere; possibly postal telegraph
to be inaugurated and many works
of internal improvement to be under
taken, all tending to the benefaotion
and prosperity of the people and keep
ing in healthful circulation their in
direct contributions to the mainte-
nance of the Government.

Mr.. CoLouITT made a good speech
in the Senate yesterday on the
tariff question. 1t was strictly in the
line of the Presidents Message and
an Endorsement thereof. The Sena-
tor, however, is not at all in line with
his colleague on the whisky tax. He
says no greater outrage could be per-
petrated on the people of his section
than the removal of this tax, but he
speaks from temperance standpoint
and we-cannot agree with him that a
cut in whisky would increase the con
sumption-least of all in strong pro-
hibition State like Georgia. Senator
Brown has the best of the argument
so far as internal revenue taxation is
concerned.
