COSTA RIcA's latest scheme for raising
money and the purpose for which it is to
be raised are novel, to say the least. A
new theater is wanted at the capital, and
an export duty has been PLACID by congress
on coffee in order to raise the necessary
money. However, as only 5000, 900 is
needed for the purpose, the tax will not
last long.

DR.. J. b. Gambrcll, Chairman of tho
Mississippi Prohibition Executive Com
mittee, has issued an address t. the Pro-
hibitionists of his State. The interest
there is conferred upon the prohibitory
provision aimed against liquor and lot
tcries, which it is hoped the Constitu-
tional Assembly that meets August IL
will incorporate in the constitution. In
his address Chairman Gambrcll makes
some very encouraging statements. He
says:
81 must congratulate you, my fellow
workers, chat the scheme OF the WHISKY
combine to pack THO Constitutional Con-
vention with men committed to the liu-
uor interest has signally failed. From
the nominations that have been made it
is certain that the convention will be a
very able body of men, u majority Of
whom are favorable to the principles of
Prohibition. Nor have any Of the evil
effects predicted of calling public atten-
ton to the scheme Of whisky leagues
been realized.
"The people were never more thought
full nor more disposed to act periodically
and on high moral principle. The con-
vention will meet under exceptionally
favorable circumstances"

But there is one thing disclosed in the
interview about which there can be no
mistake, tO-wit; the robbng of the peo-
pie under the guiSe of legal forms, which
was committed. The alleged repairs to
the Wheeling Custom House are simply a
botch. The money )Ss7,OOOl appropri-
ated is gone and what is 10 show for il .

thing decent 20 show for it. However,
the present spectacle has it's object les
son. our eyes cannot look upon it
without vivid reminder Of the rotten
ness connected with the alleged
repairs. First, there were the
protests forwarded 90 Washington
by the local superintendent
against the disregard of the contractors
in executing the work according to
original plans and specifications. Then
followed the threat OF the contractors TO
have the local officials head cut OF
under his ears IL he became too meddle-
some and offensive; and sure enough,
their "pull" upon the Washington end
of the string was SO powerful that his
head did 90 of, and they went on with
the work as they pleased. IL would
seem that when they got through with
their job the local inspectors official
head was stuck on again, showing that
the relations between the powers at
Washington and the contractors on the
Custom House job were just too init
mate and strong for anything % disturb
them. In the meantime the Republican
politicians were at their wits end to
bring the public scandal TO am end. The
hurrying and Scurrying TO and from
Washington with complaints, afidayits
and petitions were the towns talk;
meanwhile the misunderstanding be-
