aud of course changes the complexion Of things
greatly. But there is another side to this matter
that is not so pleasant to view. In years past
many have sold without payment Of special
taxes, but never before so many as now. In
former years each collector has had in the field
detectives paid from 4 fund appropriated for
that special purpose. The present collector
neglects entirely to do this, and the result is
more are selling without payment Of special
tax than ever before. The government is
losing in this way Il large revenue, and perhaps
the collector is trying i'll this way to reduce the
surplus. One gentleman whose business is
largely with saloons, and who is as well stuat-
ed to know as any man in Maine, said recently,
'Those who have paid special taxes are so
promptly hunted down by State officials, that
to-day judge there are as many selling without
having paid special taxes as there are that have;
and another year, if Page does as he has done
this there will be no revenue from LIQUOR deal
ers special taxes paid in Maine; not because the
saloons will all be wiped out but because they
had rather run the slight risk Of being caught
by the United States authorities, than the
greater of being caught by State officials. Page
not only does not make any effort TO detect
violators Of the revenue laws. but he seems
not to want to do 20 even when proof is given
him.
This gentlcman'> statements are borne out by
these of all officer in Bath, who says: ''In NV

interests, and tleties law and impoverishes the
government in defence of his patrons. This is
a matter that should strongly interest all for
by Pages course the government is losing
thousands of dollars in revenue, and the saloons
are being protected. 1t is said that Page has
gone far as to write letters of rebuke to
officers who have prosecuted parties selling
without paying special taxes, and letters Of
sympathy to those prosecuted. and has refused
TO take notice of complaints made to him with
proof. lie alone has power to sign complaint
for violation of revenue laws, and is very ur-
willing to do it when runlscler is concerned
Were we under any other than a democratic
administration, such an officer would straight
way be removed, as he deserves. There is
food, and abundant food, for thought in these

RIpGIING 4IiE PRESIDENTS MESSIAH. AT

practical talk on the Presidents message and
ihe free trade programme i'll The House. which
brought ot.t the uuu,ual complime III of applause
from both senate and galleries when he had
finished. He attacked the falIacics in the docu-
mpnt> that the President and Secretary of the
Treasury sent to Congress, gave Il practical en-
position Of the benefits of protection, and end
ed with his OWN proposition for reducing the
surplus.
After quoting from the message the recon-

the Customs duties and showing some of the It
suits of such 4 proceeding. he Went On TO say
that til, OIL, industry in this country that the
President did moi threaten has been discovered

The secretary Of the Treasury proposed free

Nineteen large cities and towns have $40 of
the total 101; and though they contain less
than one-fourth of the population, yet have
more than three-fourths of the saloons. On
an average through the State there is one
saloon for SOB inhabitants, yet in the cities
mentioned the average is one saloon for 265 in
habitants, and outside of them one saloon for
30lS inhabitants. Portland and Bangor alone
contain more than one-thrd of the entire num-
Der in the State, though containing less than
onc-tenth of the population. Bangor has one
saloon for every 80 voters, s saloons for every
minister, and for every teachers.
While this showing is bad enough, we must
remember that the number this year is not
nearly SO great as last and another fact that
should be very distinctly kept in mind is that
very large number are not now being used.

more than one or two are being used, and

The Indians Side of the Indian Question
by William Barrows, d. d. The author be-
lieves the Dawes Bill brings such an opportuni-
ty as never before existed for saving the In
dian peoples and making self-sustaining, self
reliant and capable citizens of them. But he
believes that the law will amount to nothing
without the systematic, persistent and watch
full cooperation of friendly Americans. They
are not the Indians neighbors. The Indians
neighbors are not his friends. Frontiersmen
have got to be held in check by the law and
public opinion behind the law. With a view to
bringing about that accord, he reviews the
whole history of Indian management briefly
and in business-like manner, with continual
citing of authorities. This is Indian history
with purpose; and this short book is means
of intelligence on the whole question, which
within year has taken on so new phase that
it needs to be studied anew. The book is the
readiest means of information We know of.

Proving His Assertions.

PORTLAND, Me-, January 25.-Tbe start
ling revelations OF the Rev. Mr.. Bayley, in
his prohibition sermon a week ago, bave
created great interest here, where for years
efforts have been male te show that there is
as little drunknness as there Is in any city
In the country. MT. Bayley said that the
records showed more drunkenness here tt an
ever. and gave plenty of instances and fig
ores to confirm his allegations.
The principal authorities at once began
to make an Investigation, and Mayor Chap
man spent two or three days in gathering
material to retute the charges. Mr.. Bayley
said that there was drunkenness in the pri-
mary and kindergs rten schools, and the au-
thorities visited all of them, giving the re-
suits of their investigations to the news
papers. Leading temperance men wrote
| communications to the paper, and T. e.
| Woodbury., prominent advocate, said thai
after a long trial prohibition was failure
! and that people here had better be about
something else than trying to make it sue
! cessful.
Interest was renewed yesterday when thu
police were called upon to remove Johnny
DcDough. a drunken IL. year old boy, from
the Center street primary school. He wa:
so drunk that when he reached the station
he sank into a deep. rum sleep. On awak,
ening he was stupeied and did not know
J what day 1t was. The previous night the
! Portland school committee had passed reso
lutions that there was no drunkenness il
! the public schools.

THE PEOPLE WANT TARIFF RE-
VISION.
The Sober Words OF an Iowa Republican
Protection Organ.

1t cannot be too strongly urged by the
Republicans of the country upon the
Republicans In Congress that an aggres-
sive Republican policy in regard TO the
surplus and reduction OF taxation and
tariff should be adopted at once and Wig
orOusly push I'd. Ii is not enough in the
minds OF the Republican people simply
To antagoniZe The Democratic policy and
party negatively. They want an affir-
native and aggressive Republican par
ty The people want reduction in taxa
tion and ali public burdens wherever it
Is possible and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in
internal revenue taxes wherever 1t can
be done safely and reduction in tariff
whenever it is practicable and the
American policy protecting American
industries will permit.
They want positive, direct and mate
rial reductions, both in taxes and tariff
They DO not want policy of defense of
the surplus and policy TO project Iegis-
iation, which will require appropriations
large enough to prevent the accumala-
tiOn of surplus IN the Treasury hereaf-
ter. They want new system OF inter
nal revenue taxation OF decided reduc-
tiOns under the present system, and they
want such reduction I'm tariff and the
placing Of enough articles on the free
! list 20 make a lower system of taxation,
! and one which will prevent a surplus,

parent of extravaganza.
Had the Governments revenues not
been in excess of its needs does anybody
suppose that Congress would have pro-

that will incite Congress to institute

Labor Riot In Pittsburg.

| PITTsBURG, Feb. 6.-There was blood.
shed Saturday evening as the result OF
/ the non-unioniZing Of the Solar Iron
! Works of Clarke " Co, on Penn avenue.
/ The mill had been idle for two months
because the firm and employees differed
| on the question Of allowing William
\ Simms, roller. to retain two jobs.
/ The woIkmen wanted Simms to divide
| the work with another man. SimmS
| still holds the fort and saws he has been
/ admitted TO the firm. Friday morning
| the mil. was filed with non-union ne
groes, the furnaces lighted, and the
machinery set in motion.
Saturday afternoon at O'Clock work
| ceased tor the week, and eighty OF the
negroes, escorted by a score of police
men, started for their homes. They
were followed by a crowd of about three
hundred men and boys. A short DIS
tance away from the mill one of a crowd
of boys threw a brick, which hit a po-
liceman. Nearly all the negroes drew
revolyers and fired at the boys. A pO-
licemen also fired one shot, and the
boys scattered in all directions. Joseph
Kenna, aged seventeen. was found un-
concious in the street. He was shot IL
the face. Two other boys are said to
have been wounded and spirited away
by their companions. One OF the escort
ing policemen grappled with the negro
who shot kenDa, and, after severe
tussle, took his weapon from him. He
did not arrest him, and afterwaId told
his Lieutenant, who censured him, that
he had forgotten TO do so.
There has been no further tro1bIe at
the Solar Iron Works, the scene OF the
serious outbreak on Saturday. The
mill was closed Yesterday, but started
up this morning with an increased force
of non union men. Over one hundred
men, all coloIed, are now at work, aud
the firm expects to have every depart
ment IN operation within the next few
days. The mills and yards are closely
guarded by sentinels and policemen, and
no person, not even a boy. is allowed
upon the premises unless he can prove
he has business there. The strikers are
very bitter, and smother collision is
feared when the non union men leave
the mill this evening. Those in author
ity and those who have the coolest
heads advise the workingmen to Lot
molest nor ;nteTfere with the colored
men, but Others cry for revenge. They
threaten death to the non -nuIon men
and hint of the firing of the mill.
Young kenna. who was shot on Sa:ur-
day, is believed to be out of danger.
In compliance with a request from the
prOprietoTs of the Solar Iron Works for
protection, Sheriff McCandless issued a
proclamation to-day ordering the riot
eTs to disperse and keep the peace under
penalty of arrest and Imprisonment.
The strikers, however. continued 10
loiter about the mill until noon, when
they were ordered away by a squad of
police.

THE benevolent efforts of William f.
Chandler, The New Hampshire dema-
gogue in the United States Senate, to
protect the negroes IN certain Southern
States IN their right OF sUfT age which
he assumes they don't now enjoy, are
not meeting with the enthusiastic in
dorsement by the colored people OF that
section which he anticipated. Florida
Is one OF the States which Chandler pro-
poses TO take under his protecting wing
through Federal interference liz her
elections for the ostensIble benefit of the
black voters. 1t Is the same State in
which he acquired such an Immortality
of infamy in stealing her three electoral
votes in 1876 and foisting Hays into the
White House. The Southern Leader,
Republican paper, published by colored
men at Jacksonville, Florida, seems to
have taken the proper measure OF
Chandler and to estimate him aI his
proper worth. Speaking of his election
bill that paper says:
The race has enemies in all parties. and
we are always ready 10 fire at them, wheth-
er they be found amSng Democrats, Repub.
licans or knights OF Labor. We are oppos-
ed to political tricksters like Bill ChardIer,
because that class Of Republican leaders
would wink at the slaughter of fye hundred
negroes in the South in order 70 insure a
solid Republican North. II this poIitica
pigmy becomes the chief boss OF the Repub-
lican party. the re election OF Cleveland is q
foregone conclusion. The mission OF the
party ends Just where Chandler begins.
