THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JANUARY s, 1888.



One Of the points made by Major Bacon
in his paper, published last Thursday,
urging the repeal of the internal revenue
taxes was that these taxes have taken an
immense amount Of money out of Georgia
He gave the total amount collected in this
State since the taxes were imposed, and il
was quito large, but it must be remembered
that good many years have elapsed since
the payment Of them began. The amount
collected from Georgia is not one-twentieth
as large as that collected from
some other States. Tho amount which
Georgia paid on distilled spirits during the
last fiscal year was only S33G, 7O5 81, while
the amount paid by Illinois during the same
period was S24, S25, 7O7 o.: by Kentucky,
$12,4l1, $50 G3; by Missouri. S1,S5s 697 Is ;
by New York, SIS, lOl ,203 o.; by Ohio,
Sl3, S96, 795 TO- and by New Jersey, 1886
lGl 56. 1t is evident, therefore, that the
Empire state of the South pays very
small part of the internal revenue tax--not
a two hundredth part of it. She had 3S
distilleries on July |, but they were all very
small ones
AT that date there were 375
distilleries, in all parts Of the country, in
operation, and their capacity was 207, 17G
gallons per day. That was decrease of
A,S23 gallons per day from the previous
month. 1t seems hardly possible that the
country consumes so much whisky-over
1000 barrels day, but it does
The only place in which rum is made is
in New England. There are six rum distil-
leries in Massachusetts and one in New
Hampshire and they have a capacity of
about 1000 gallons day.
There could be no lighter taxable burden
than the whisky tax. The whisky drinkers
pay it and they do not complain. As long
ms they are satisfied there don't appear TO
be room for anybody else to complain. 1t is
doubtful if there are 1000 people directly
interested in the thirty-eight distilleries in
this State, while more than a million
GeorgianS are interested in having the taxes
on the neceSsaries of life reduced If the
whisky tax were removed the owners of
the small diStilleries would not make any
more money than they now do, and il is
doubtful if either they or the farmers who
sell them corn would do as well
The price of whisky would decline, and COM
petition would become so great that there
would be no profit in whisky either for the
grower of corn or the distiler. The truth
is that the demand for the repeal of the
whisky tax does not come from the distill-
ers, but from the protectionists, who hope
that the repeal of the internal revenue
taxes will prevent any reduction of the
tariff taxes.

The great disaster in China caused by the
Yellow river leaving its BANKS has caused
scarcely a ripple of excitement in the
Christian world. If any general movement
is being organized for the relief of the suf-
ferers the fact has not found its way into
print. When the yellow fever ravaged the
lower Mississippi valley in 1878 a very large
sum of money was sent by Chinese to assist
tho sufferers. There are sufferers in China
who need help now, and as much help as
the whole civilized world can afford to give
| them
The first reports of the disaster were not
exaggerated. The latest accounts show that
they were far short of the truth. Those
who persisted in the food are not numbered
by tens of thousands, but by hundreds of
thousands, and there are hundreds of
thousands who are literally without food or
shelter, and without the opportunity of
earning them. The section, inundated is in
the richest portion of the country, and con-
tains about ten thousand square miles In
two provinces three thousand hourishing
villages were swept away in very few
minutes. Where little while ago were
UuSN CLUES, IlCu ldIIllS anu prosperous pbO-
pie there is now one great lake.
In thousands of instances there was no
effort to escape. The Cinnamon regarded
the flood as something that could not be
avoided. They believed their time to die
had come, and they were engulfed by the
rising waters with every indication of in
difference
The province in which the flooded district
is located is not quite as large as this State,
but it contains about 25000,O 900 of inhabi-
tants. About one-seventh of it is sub
merged. 1t is almost impossible to grasp
the magnitude of the disaster Epidemics
and earthquakes, such as the world has
known in the last few years, although terri
bic in their effects, were small affairs com
pared to this overflow in China. To the
hundreds of thousands who were swallowed
up by the flood, famine promises to add
other thousands. Should not help be given
where it is so badly neededf

Twenty Years Ago.

The sunny hours of life's bright morn,
The sunny hearts that were,
Couded are now like things forlorn.
without a comforter;
And eyes that flashed. aud cheeks that blushec
At accents spoken low,
Hold but for treasure memories crushed,
OF twenty years ago.
Memories which like the withered flowers
OF garlauds once so fair;
Tell but Of those departed hours
Dispersed bysage and care
Tell but of youth unprized and lost,
OF peerless beauty'S glow,
Bedimmed by trials, and sorely crossed,
Since twenty years ago
Yet might / from those distant years
Recall the chec6ered past
Enshrined within It's smiles and tears,
Unclouded or o'ercast;
This breast would heave responsive now
To happiness or woe,
That mantled DER the careless brow,
OF twenty years ago.
Thus realized then let it be,
Revoke the unhallowed spell,
Bring back those hands and hearts to me,
Those kindly words as well.
Return the cherished friends of yore.
Their destiny forego,
And give, Oh, give, one moment more
OF twenty years ago.
'Twould make the pulses throb again.
The sluggish blood would flow
With swifter current through the brain.
And fancy brighter grow,
Until the vista-mrrored mind,
A retrospect would show,
Extensive as the days resigned,
Twenty long years ago
Sweeter than cen the charms of love.
Or hopes perennial dawn,
Or present ties, which sometimes prove
More dear than those now gone;
Woulc be that boon, could partial fate,
Potent, one gift bestow;-
The banished joys to reinstate
OF twenty years ago.

The Cemetery Election.

The vote yesterday on the cemetery issue
was about as large as it was expected it
would be. Hundreds, doubtless, did not
take time to vote because they were certain
that there would be enough without them to
carry the election in favor of progress and
improvement.
Now that there has been a popular ex-
preston with regard to the issue, and it has
been decided by very large majority that
the old cemetery shall be improved, there
ought to be no further opposition to its
Improvement. Those who were in the
opposition because they did not want the
ashes of their dead to be disturbed ought to
be satisfied with having done what they
believed to be their duty, and those who
were in the opposition for other reasons
ought to accept their defeat in a frank way
and do what they can to encourage the
authorities to make such improvements as
will give general satisfaction.
The issue should be regarded as settled
one, and steps should be taken at once to
carry out the purpose which was indicated
by the result OF the election. There should
be neither delay nor hesitation. The people
have said that they are tired of such an lln
slightly place in the centre of their city as
the old cemetery, and it cannot be improved
too quickly to suit them Delay may en-
courage further opposition. Let the walls
come down at once, and when they are
down the place Will be improved very
quickly
