The "IIoly TerrOrs."

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., November 90.
The "Holy Terrors' gang was broken
up to-day by the police. The Terrors
were seven small boys, all of respect
able families, who have rugged up an
old shed as their den, and in it shared
lot of plumber stolen within the past
month from stores and houses. The
shanty was supplied with old fur
niture. all stolen The walls were
covered with obscene pictures,
and bushel of watches, rcvolvers,
knives, &c, were found concealed, be-
sides lot of pipes, cigars and cigar
cites. Bob Bowen, aged fifteen, was
chief of the TerrorS, and his word
among the others was law. They had
a typewriter code of rules hung up.
among them being: "lf any Terror
enters the shanty with muddy feet he is
fined one cent"
IF he don't mind the leader he is Sns-
pended five days"
IF any Terror SquealS he is fired"
'.If he don't divide his sweets and
solid food he is fired"
John Cuthbert, aged sixteen, failed
to divide, and was fired, and then
squealcd. The boys are now locked up,
and their parents are pleading for their
release.

domination OF the opposition? Then
the rank scandals arising out Of deals;

Grand Hotel that has scratched" many
A young man, and not few older men
have carried sears resulting from buck
ing against IL.
Night before last q new face appeared
at the hotel. 1t was on a stranger, ana
the boys took him in Colonel Tom ;
room. He had a sitting with them, ana
when he retired YESTERDAYS he acquainted
Colonel Tom with the fact that he was
one Frank Nation, a L. 5. Revenue In
spector. who had been sent to inveStl-
gate a report that Colonel Tom was dis
pensing liquors and cigars in his den
without the special-taX stamps to legal
ize it. Colonel Tom dropped to his po-
sition and Immediately proceeded 10
square matters, as he supposed,
so quickly that not a thing was
known of ii on the outside until to-day.
Nation told him the best thing he could
do was TO make application for license
covering the time he confessed TO nav
ing been engaged in it while protesting
ignorance of the enormity of his otfenSe,
and then go before Judge Wood, OF the
L. 5. District Court, and plead guilty.
The former he did, planking down
S2s.40 per year and the fifty per cent.
penalty, aggregating Ss2.20, which was
inclosed with his application for two
years license. from May, 1889, to May
1891.
But there is doubt whether he went
to indianapolis to plead guilty to-day
or to Greenville, Ohio, on hunting en-
petition. However, he confessed all in
the affidavit accompanying his applica-
ton, and Nation sent statement of the
case TO Judge Woods. of the L. ). Grand
Jury, as well as toJ. o. Cravens, OF Law
renceburg, collector of this, the Sixth
District, recommending prosecution to
the extent of the law.
Hence an arrest is sure TO follow, il
he has not pleaded guilty. and the law
leaves the penalty discretionary with
the Court as to violations OF the tobacco
clause. There is no latitude in reference
to violations of the liquor clause, which
provides a fine of not less than SO nor
more than $500; imprisonment for not
less than thirty days nor more than two
wears for each violation.

for the next year will be the receipts
from customs. These are a matter of
great uncertainty, owing 10 the new
tariff law. the effects Of which, as rev.
enue measure, cannot easily be guessed.
1t was persistently maintained that the
Mckinley bill would reduce the rev
enues about $50, GOO, 900. On the score
of expenditures, il is significant that
the late report Of the Commissioner
of Pensions gives no estimate OF
the amount required for the
next fiscal year. With the
new disability law in force, no one, how
ever estimates the amount required for
next year AZ less than Sl35, 200, 900, and
the amount is generally fixed at $780,
OOO, 300. This involves On increase in
expenditure of anywhere from s3O,o0o.-
600 to SIS, ZOO, 900 over the current year.
The assumed decrease in revenue, owing
to the Mckinley tariff, and the increase
in expenditures for pensions will leave
the government, for next year, with
larger bills TO pay than IL has money TO
spend.
1t is possible, Of course, that the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, now that the
campaign is over, viii abandon the claim
that the new tariff will reduce the reve-
nues. and will hold that II will have the
contrary effect. That would be an EN-
barraSsment for the MCKINLEY wor-
shippers, but il would be less awkward
for the Republican party as whole than
TO acknowledge adeGcit. But whatever
view the Secretary Of the Treasury may
take Of the revenue effects Of the new
tariff law, it seems safe to predict that
he will recommend the repeal or SuSpen-
sion Of the sinking fund act. II the Re-
publican party finds that il must stop
the payment Of the national debt in con-
sequence Of its extravaganza expendi-
lures for other purposes, it can avail it.
