THewRoLE HOUSE MUST PAY DUTY.


WASHINGTON. May u. - The collector
of customs at Plattsburgh, Now York, has
informed the treasury department that his
deputy at Front river, New York, reports
that a Canadian house has recently been
moved in such a manner as to place it di-
rectly upon the bourdery line between this
country and Canada, thereby placing one
half OF the house within the United States
and the other half in Canada. In reply TO
his request for instructions as to whether
the whole house or one-half only is dutiable,
Assistant Secretary Tchenor refers him to
the penalties provided in section 3,l01. re-
vsed statutes, in cases where any store,
warehouse, or other building shall be erected
upon or near the houndery line between the
United States and any foreign country, and
there is reason to believe that dutiable mer-
chandise is deposited or has been placed
therein, or carried through or into the
same without payment Of duties and in vio-
lation of law, etc, Mr. Tichenor says
From the explicit wording of this statute
it would appear that Congress did not in
tend to deal with this matter in any vague
or uncertain manner, but that if any build
ing were SO placed as to fall both within the
United States and foreign country it must
be construed to be wholly within the United
States for all customs purposes. You will
therefore assess duty upon the whole house
with reference to its component materials
= * In referring to your statement
that you suppose there is but little doubt
that the building will be used as a line
store it may be well to say that you should
take all lawful precautions in guarding the
interests Of the revenue at that point.

M'KlNtEY TO CIRCUIT.
The Subject OF Bounty on Maple Sugar
to be Introduced d in the Senate.


Mr.. Mckinley Friday of last week
addressed to Mr.. Grout the following letter
which explains the situation The matter
of bounty on maple sugar
will now be carried over to the Senate,
where there is some reason to believe the
desired provision will be inserted in case
the House endorses the principle Of a
bounty.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, L. s.,
WAsHGNGToN, May 10, 1890.
My Dear Mr. Grout-The committee has
considered your earnest request for an
amendment to the pending tariff bill giving
bounty to maple sugar. We finally de
cided to make sugar free, and offer boun-
ty and though personally not averse to in
Guiding maple sugar, felt that we had not
the time to give it the necessary consdern-
ton and thought it best to leave the
subject to the Senate, in case the principle
Of granting bounty should be approved
by the House. The time fixed for the con
sideration OF the bill is now so short that
the committee think it unwise to multiply
amendments which might embarrass its
passage. Believing this the wisest course
and quite certain not to embarrass you in
the Senate to secure what you so much de-
sire for your constituents.
| am very truly yours,
WILLIAM MCKINLEY Jr.

A Peculiar Case.

DR.. H. G. Edmunds, of Elberton,
Ga, writes: "a very peculiar and
strange case of blood poison came
under my attention a short time
ago. A gentlemen came here from
Athens, Ga, where he had been bit
ten on the hand by vicious mule
that he was breaking to work. The
hand was in q horrible condition,
and the inflammation was rapidly eX-
tending throughout his entire syS
tenn. Every knuckle on his hand
was an ulcer that was deep and
sloughing, He stated to me that he
had consulted several physicians, and
taken their medicines without deriv-
ing any benefit. / gave him course
of Swift's Specific IS. s. S. J, and in
few days he reported to me marked
improvement, and in one week from
the time he commenced taking S. ;.
s. the hand was healed up and the
poison entirely eradIcated from his
System. 1t is my opinion that he
would have lost his life had II not
been for the llealth-giying properties
contained In Swift's Specific. He
frankly admits himself that 5. 5. S.
did the work."

was the cautious reply.
" You are off fifteen years." replied the
mechanic. THAT piano has been in use
just five years, and has been carefully
handled, but you see it was made in Ger
many. and they don't do our class of work
over there.
AN American frame will outlast five Ger

People are deceived when they buy cheap
German pianos. They don't get their
moneys worth II would be economy to
pay double the price for an American instru-
ment, for then they know what they are
getting.
This piano cost S105 in Germany and was
sold here for S2T5, which under the former
tariff gave fair profit.
The cheai est piano we can produce here
costs $3.50. You see that heretofore the

III. &. Wilson Addresses a Meeting in
Lower Metropolitan Hall.
Lower metropolitan Hall was scarcely
half filled last evening, when $. II. Dupue,
Chairman of tue National United Labor
party, called the meeting to order. The pre-
siding officer was attired in a costume con-
sisting of buckskin coat. slouch hat,
leather belt and m0ccasins. He stated that.
although the call of the previous evening
had failed to attract the large attendance
expected, the party was still in the fight and
intended remaining there until success
crowned its effurts.
W. 7. Grace was first introduced, and en-
tertained his hearers with a short history OF
the Labor party, ard lis object in the pres
cnt and future campaigns. He stated that
the two leading parties were simply figure
heads, and III principle cut no figure what
ever with The organization Of which he was
a member.
II. c. Wilson of Tehama. the nominee for
Governor on the ticket of the Labor party
regretted he was unable to be in attendance
Monday evening, but expressed hope that
his constituents were not discouraged by
his absence. He then entered into a lengthy
review Of the Silver Bill recently passed by
the Republican party, and advocated the
majority OF It's provisions, although few
failed to meet with his views. MI Wilson
stated that he was in favor of the free coin
age OF silver, and hoped to live to see the
day when the silver dollar would occupy
the position 1t deserves among the working
portion of the country.
During the speakers remarks he was fire.
quently interrupted by applause, and when
1t was announced that another meeting
would be held before the coming election
he was greeted with cheers.

had been a great deal of fraudulent register
ing. 1t is his duty as Registrar to run as
much of it down as possible, and he is doing
so. This resolution would cut off all his
sion all for naugllt. He said that number
of persons had peen fraudulently registered
from the "Rest for the Weary" He had
instituted an investigation as to that house,
and had found that number Of men who
had registered at the house had never lived
there. He had cited all of them, but the
landlord had pocketed the citations. He
asked that their registrations be Cancelled,
because the men had not appeared.
Mr.. Alderman maintained that if those
cited from the REST for the Weary" were
TO be stricken off, the same should be done
with the inmates from Al Whites house on
East street.
Mr. Smiley suggested that the whole work
from first to last had been imperfectly done,
and he believed not according to law In
this position all the others seemed TO agree
with him.
The Auditor said there is no doubt but
that the Registration Act is defective and
that the register could not be properly eX-
purged under it.
The representatives, of the Democratic
County Committee reported that all the pre-
clnct boards had been supplied but about
ten; the Republicans have great many
yet TO supply.
1t was decided that the challenge list to
be prepared by the Registrar shall state the
grounds on which the challenge is based.
Attorney Alderman submitted list of
200 names OF persons registered in Solano
County who are also registered in this city.
He said these persons had not been can
celed in either county, and he believed it is
their intention to vote in Solano County in
the morning, and here in the afternoon. The
Registrar was instructed-to cooperate with
the authorities in their end to catch
and punish any of these parties.
The Registrar found among the citations
returned to his office yesterday quite num-
her not issued by him at all. His first i'm
preston was that the cards were counter
feited by some outsiders and sent out on
their own responsibility, probably the
Democratic Central Committee. On closer
examination, however it was found rthat
the cards were not cOunterfeited, but were
