WASHINGTON, June N.-Representative
Reed, of Iowa, has prepared on behalf of
the judiciary committee a report on the sub
stitute for the senate original package bill.
The senate bill is applicable to Intoxicating
liquors and the house bill to all articles of
commerce. The report says that in the
opinion of the committee all property which
has been imported into state and kept for
sale there ought to be subject for all pur-
poses to the Jurisdiction of the state, and all
persons who engage in traffic within state
ought to be subject TO such rules as it may
enact for the regulation of that traffic.
States are proper judges of the needs of their
own citizens and they ought to be free to en-

best adapted to their situation and best cal

A Night Hawk in Church.

A big night hawk flew into the Ger
man Lutheran church at New Haven,
where Professor J. E. Whittecker, OF
Rochester, was lecturing on The Fol
lies and Foibles of Modern Life" and
for fifteen minutes excitement reigned.
A night hawk is laundering creature
in its flight, and as the wide winged
bird darted back and forth in the sane
tuary in great sweeps and circles just
above the audience, its spotted pinions
cleaning specter like as it hummed
through the air, women screamed and
darted about the pews, and finally the
lecturer had to stop talking for fifteen
minutes.
Every one was sfraid of the bird, for
as it skinned along the gallery front
and shot among the heads of the peo-
pie, once passing SO close to the face of
Professor Whittecker that it fairly took
the words of his text out of his mouth,
it went with the speed of rocket, and
it seemed it must go slambang into
somebody or something in its dizzy
turns Once a wise man shouted,
Catch that birdl" and the profound
advice set the congregation to laugh
ing. Finally the hawk, in a random
dash, accidentally scooted through the
window, and then the lecture went on
again. New Haven News

The Tariff Not a Tax.

We hear so frequently the state
ment that "the tariff is a tax" that
We take pleasure in publishing the
following. taken from the Marion,
Qowa) Register, which plainly shows
up the absurdity of the statement.
Wecommend its perusal to Democrats
and Free Traders generally
If the Democratic theory that the
"Tariff is a tax" is correct, why is
not the price of goods upon which
duties are levied increased in value to
the full extent of the tariff?
If the tariff is tax, why is it that
salt is selling at IS cents n barrel at
the works, with a duty of "A cents per
hundred, when in 1860 it cost 81 per
barrel and no duty?
If the tariff is tax, why are steel
rails selling at $3.50 to $50 per ton,
with a tariff duty of SIT per ton,
when they cost from $40 to $160
per ton before the duty was levied?
If the tariff is a tax, why is it that
plate glass, with a duty of about So
per cent, can be bought for nearly
one-third less than in 1860?
If the tariff is tax, why is it that
more pottery can be bought now for
$3.50, with a duty of 50 per cent,
than could formerly be bought with
four dollars?
If the tariff is a tax. why is it that
nails and pig iron are nearly one-half
cheaper now than before a tariff was
levied upon them?
If the tariff is a tax, why is that
saws, which were not made in this
country before a duty was imposed,
are now cheaper than they are in Eu-
rope? A million dollars worth are
imported to Europe annually.
If the tariff is a tax, why has spool
cotton thread been reduced in price
from 50 cents a dozen, before the duty
was added, to 80 cents under duty
of Is cents?
Ii the tariff is a tax, why are cotton
9rints of American manufacture sell
ftrs st . cents a yard, when the tariff
on those of English is cents? If the
tariff is a tax, should not ten cents a
yard be charged for American calicos
instead of five? Prior to the war, in
the good old Democratic days-and
in the period of low tariff or no tariff
the same calico retailed at 10 and
y cents.

There is great deal of detail about
this and it will be difficult for the
treasury officials to perfect all their
plans in time for the early spring
crop; but if congress provides the
necessary appropriation for the help
which will be needed, the commission
er thinks he will be able to get the
papers at any time, although he pre-
fers that the whole thing should be
transferred to the agricultural de-
partment.
The farmers who desire to avail
themselves of the maple sugar boun-
ty will probably have to report to
the commissioner of internal revenue,
or a chief officer may be designated
to take care of the matter in his
place, just how many trees they pro-
pose to tap, the situation of the
woods in the matter of exposure, the
character of the appliances used for
evaporating the sap and other min
or details which will be used to guide
the officials in deciding that the re-
port is square and legitimate.
Then probably, in each county or
in some central point in several
counties, an agent will be stationed
with a polariscope, who will make
the tests, and that which is
passed by these agents will be paid
for by the government at two cents
or a cent and three-quarters per
pound, according to the result of the
test of richness in saccharine matter.
Pure sugar only, of course, will re-
ceive the bounty, and if any honest
and enterprising farmer undertakes
to increase his production by the
adulterating process he will probably
be hoist with his own petard.
