SsSenators Allison and Spooner fresh
from an interview with the President
elect, express themselves as very conf
dent that the Senate tariff bin win be
passed by the Senate and sent to the
House. II is hardly probable that the
House will agree TO that bill. but it is
possible for Congress to reduce the reve-
nue., by an agreement upon the tobacco
taxes. The House has voted an esti-
mated reduction Of Sl18Sl. l6l on the
taxes levied on tobacco, leaving cigars I'M
touched. The Senate finance committee
has reported bill which makes all the
reduction proposed BY the House. and
adds a reduction Of the tax on cigars.
raising the entire remission OF taxation
on tobacco TO S2L371 AGO The House
bin repeats in addition the special taxes
on retail liquor dealers and retail dealers
in malt liquors, which in 1887 amounted
to S4S1499 The Senate committee
made its additional reduction by propos
ing to free from tax alcohol used in the
industrial arts and anticipated reduc-
tion in revenue from this source amount
ing to $1,000, 600,
The result of these differences is that
the total House reduction on internal
revenue was 500, 1876, 1855, and the total
Senate reduction was $31 81 AGO. The
remission of taxation on tobacco proposed
by the Senate was, in fact, still larger,
because the reduction Of one-half the in.
ternal revenue tax on cigars was hold by
the Senate finance committee to justify a
reduction Of one-fourth in the tariff
levied ON tobacco, amounting TO s.. 27O.
$50, or a reduction Of the ad valorem
rate from SO per cent TO 63 per cent.
The House bill. while it made no reduc.
ton in the tariff on cigars, reduced the
duty on one grade Of wrappers by $11,
5O2, not large amount Of revenue. but
a serious loss OF protection to tobacco
farmers growing fine wrappers. In all,
then, tariff and internal revenue together.
the reduction Of revenue from tobacco
proposed by the Senate reached SCI. 500.
900, and in the case Of the Mills bill
amounted to $l7 AGO. COO.
But these differences do not touch the
root Of the matter, which is that boil
chambers are fully agreed as to the first
reduction Of $118sl, 16l. 1t is agreed
that this tax is not needed and both par.
ties are undoubtedly willing, now cleo.

Ia q number Of forms, the latest
of which is that invented by a

what would be done il both

upon conditions not defined in the case
stated. II the Electoral College has not
yet met, that body would be free to fiji
the Offices named as il saw it, It always
elects our Presidents and Vice Presidents
in theory, and for once undor the contin-
gency described it would do 50 ia fact.
Il could choose any persons whatsoever
not constitutionally ineligible. If it had
met and discharged the function for
which il was elected, and Congress in a
joint convention of House ana Senate had
confirmed its action, the succession in
the case imagined would dev0lve upon
the members of the Cabinet, beginning
with the Secretary of State II should be
remembered that the term Of the Cabinet
officers does not expire with that Of the

very dull and ordinary preacher occupied
the pulpit, and tho good old minister was
unutterably bored. When it was time for
the prayer be offered the usual petition that
the Lord would bless his servant who had i'd

Tho Mad Rush for Pleasnrn.

Only recently have we heard DR.. Richard
sons emphatic warning that whatever
quickens the action Of the heart beyond its
natural speed subtracts from that fund OF
stored vitality which alone can tide us over
the crises Of life. And undoubtedly the mad
rush for SO called pleasure is not only re-
sponsible for shortened lives; It breeds disap-
pointment as well as disease. The pursuit Of
happiness has set its weary seal on many a
face one meets. Now and then, however, the
fortunate possessor Of an independent mind
sturdily refuses to take his pleasures either
madly or sadly. He makes money to live
rather than lives to make money. Ills friends
are chosen for the delightful quid pro quo OF
congenial tastes; not upon a carefully adj
justed scale Of society values.-London Globe.
