TARIFF REVISION.
Probable Eff cts o. Proposed Legislation Upon
Customs Receipts


Customs Receipts.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Statements of
the effects upon customs receipts by the
provisions of the Tariff Bill, as reported by
the Senate Finance Committee, have been
completed. These show that the amount OF
duties collected in 1889 upon the impOrta-
ton of all articles made dutlable in the
House bill and amendments proposed by
the Senate assessed under existing laws
was Sl61, ,40S, SIG. The duties estimated
under the House bill amounted to S206, 249
977; under the bill amended by the Senate.
S201, $50 907. The equivalent advaore
rate under the House bill is $3.50 per cent;
under the Senate bill 5L97 per cent The
reduction OF revenue by the transfer OF
articles to the free list in the House bill
Qneludng $40, 327, ,S7S reduction OF internal
revenue taxes stricken out by the Senate
Finance Committed is estimated at S7l ,064,
IA; by the transfer Of articles on the free
list in the Senate bill the reduction in
revenue is estimated at SCI, 599,343.
A foot-note to the recapitulation says:
These tables are prepared upon the plan
and theory usually followed. The est-
mates are largely conjectural and more or
less unreliable and misleading; they are
based upon the assumption that if the bill
should become a law, merchandise of like
quantity and values would be imported as
was imported during the fiscal year 1889.
This basis can only be accepted as reliable
where changes in rates are not of such
character as TO necessarily increase or
diminish importatious. The reductions
above given of S7l ,031.71 by the House bill
and SEQ, 599, ,343 by the Senate bill appear to
be certain, but If the imports should be the
same as last year under the new rates, the
reduction would amount under the House
bill to SIG, ,12S, 642, and under the Senate bill
To 500. ;}IS 2S3 ~

For some time past complaints have been
made that Ah Sing. Chinese laundryman
on Drumm street, between Oregon and
Jackson, was running his wash-house at all
hours of the night in violation of the city
ordinance. Shortly before midnight on
Saturday Sergeant Helms and Officer Hall
visited the h-house, which was in full
blast, and Hall placed the proprietor under
arrest for violating the laundry ordinance.
All Ling went into rear room to change
his clothes and on returning offered the
officer So to let him go. Hall assented and
the Chinaman paid him So 80. saying that
was all the money he had, but would pay
the balance later on. Hall. after taking
the money to book as evidence, marched
Ling off to the Harbor Station and charged
him with violating the laundry ordinance
and bribing an officer. Helms who was in
plain clothes, saw the money paid over.

New YORK, June pa press Washing
ton special says: The House Committee on
Coinage will be likely to recommend bill
limiting the purchase of silver to 4,50o,oo0
ounces monthly, the whole to be the prod
uct of American mines. The buying of such
an amount would, it is believed, insure the
accep tance by the Treasury Department of
nearly all the bullion produced in the coun-
try. This provision. limited coinage men
say, ought to satisfy Colorado, Nevada,
Ca lifornia and other Pacific Slope advo-
Gates of free coinage. According to the
terms of the proposed compromise,
Treasury notes will be made
legal tender redeemable in coin, but the
Secretary of the Treasury will not be per-
mitted to exercise his discretion in the re-
demption of silver. The bill. it is con-
fidently predicted, will be passed by the
House. In case the Senate does not concur,
a joint conference committee can be de-
pended upon to reach a settlement
Chairman Conger will call the Committee
on Coinage together tomorrow. Before the
end of the month it is expected the House
will pass the Limited Coinage Bill.

Education and Crime.

We may find upon more careful exam
ination that there is some other cause than
ignorance for this rapid growth of our
prison population in certain parts of our
country. If l am not mistaken, there are
several such causes, some of them entirely
independent of the change in the illiteracy
of the nation. One of them lies in the
transition from an unsettled condition to a
settled condition on our constantly advanc-
ing frontier; another is in the change from
slavery in the South, and a third Is in the
gradual elevation OF the standard of human
conduct, making crimes OF actions that had
been only lawful escapades in earlier times.
The first cause comes out clearly If we

HOW To LIVE.

If We Enjoy Health and Length of Days
1t Must Be by Temperance.
There are two things we chiefly wish for
while we live-health, to make life enjoya-
BILE, and length of days, to make it lasting.
To obtain both mainly depends ON our
selves.
We do not simply die; we usually kill
ourselves. Our habits, our passions, our
anxieties of body and mind. shorten our
lives.
The key to health and long life is So
briefly in living. 1t is the fashion o re-
strict the term sobriety in the use of intox-
icating liquors.
We can say with truth that the drunkard
is killing himself, but we rarely speak Of
Overeat!ng as a shOrtener of life.
A sober life implies moderation in all
things. 1t consists" says Cornan, "in
moderate eating, in moderate drinking and
in moderate enjoyment of all the pleas
ures of life; in keeping the mind moder-
tivating the affections moderately.
in avoiding extremes of heat and
cold and in stunning excessive
excitement either of body or mind. A
sober life is life of order, of rule, of tenn
perance-that divine sobriety which is
grateful to God, friendly to nature, the
daughter of reason, the sister Of virtue. the
companion of temperate living-modest,
gentle, content with little, guided by rule
and line in all its operations"
1t is an important rule to observe and
practice for health, comfort and our peace
within and without, to attack every all
ment and malady at its beginning, to arrest
the premOnitory symptoms before they take
root in our yitals, and gradually or quickly
interrupt the normal action of the organs.

the early stage, will lead to disease and
fatal consequences.
