SHAWNEE COUNTY PEOPLES PARTY
TICKET
WHISKEY WAREHOUSHNG.

The HoHOn Recorder in the issue
Of October 9Th, undertakes to en-
tighten (O its readers concerning the
laws relating to the warehousing OF
whiskey; and, as usual, succeeds only
in displaying a very dense degree Of
ignorance. We will undertake to en-
tighten the befogged editor Of the
Recorder and his brother Republican
editors If they will take the time to
read the truth upon this subject
II is true that the distiller is re-
quired by law to Fprovide a ware
house upon the distillery premises in
which his product is stored. Thus
far the Recorder is correct; but this
is not all the law there is on this sub
ject Before proceeding to consider
the other provisions Of law however,
suppose we stop here and examine
briefly into the benefits derived by
the distiller from this ware house
provision, and we shall see that he
can well afford to provide such q
warehouse. Everyone is aware Of
the fact that new whiskeY is worth
but a few cents per gallon, The
"aging process" makes that which is
worth 30 or 40 cents, worth from So
up to $5 and $S p er gallon We have
a wholesale price list of a Philadel-
phia house in which some that is very
old is quoted as high as $40, The
distillery warehouse affords the liquor
the opportunity TO "age" before the
distiller is required to pay tie inter

this kind, In that case the only
safety Of the government would b.
the immediate collection Of the tan
as soon Rs the liquor is distilled. The
warehouse provision, however, per
mits the goods to be stored for three
years in the care of government paid
officials before the tax is required to
be paid. Now in all candor and fair
ness is this not practically loan
from the government to the distiller
of 80 cents per gallon, (the amount
of tax, without interest for the term
during which the goods are stored?
If there were no warehouses the dis
tiller would have to pay the tax as
soon as the liquor is produced, and il
he held it to ripen by age he would
have just that amount Of additional
capital tied up until he should effect
a sale. There is absolutely no escape
from the conclusion that the tax is
loaned to the distiller for the full
term during which his goods remain
in the warehouse. During all this
time they are "aging' and rapidly in
creasing in value.
But the end is not yet. By refer
ence to section 1880, Revised Stat
utes, act of June 8, 1874, it will be
be seen that liquor may be withdrawn
from these distillery warehouses at
any time. for export to foreifn cOun-
tries without the payment Of the tax.
Under the provisions Of this section,
when liquors have remained in dis
tillery, warehouses for the full term
permitted by law, il the market Is
not satisfactory, or il the distiller de-
slres his goods to "age" still more, in
order to add to their value, he with
draws them for export without the
payment of the tax. If they are sold
in foreign countries the government
loses the whole Of the tax, after hav-
ing the liquors under the charge Of
government paid officials for all this
time. But the distiller does not need
to be limited to a foreign market.
He can hold his goods in a foreign
warehouse for any length Of time he
chooses, permit them TO age until they
are ready to command the fancy
prices named at the commencement
Of this article. He can then return
them to this country, where they are
entltled to storage for three years
more, If desired, not in o distillery
warehouse. but in United States Gus
tom Houses, and still the tax is I'M
paid. Now there is another well
known fact that is worthy of note at
this point. The quality Of these liq-
uors is very much improved and their
value largely enhanced by these sea
voyages. They are said to be equiv
alent to several years Of laying"

another consequent increase In value,
the law most graciously makes pro-
vision for q still further extension Of
the loan Of the tax due when the liq-
nor first left the distjlery. Section
1871, revised statutes, provides as
follows:
Any merchandise which may Ibe deposited I'm
public store or bonded warehouse may be with
drawn by the owner for expectation to foreign
countries, or may be traRsshipped to any part
OF the Pacific or western coast Of the United
States at any time before the expiration Ofihree
years from the date Of the original Importation:
such goods, on GTTiuGl at Pacific or Western
port, to be subject to the same TTlCs and FCOUIG-
tons as y originally imported here.
So
Merchandise Withdrawn from expectation shall
DO subject only to the payment Of such storage
and charges as may be due thereon,
Let us here pause and review the
history Of the distiller's product up
to the point at which we have arrived
AS it leaves the distillery it Is valued
at 30 to 40 cents per gallon above the
government tax. On each gallon
tax is due of 80 cents. The law pro-
vides that:
Every dlStiller shall provide, at his OlOR er-
p0DSe. warehouse, to be situated on, and TO-
constitute part Of his dlgtillery premises. and
to be used only for the storage Of distilled spirits
Of his own manufacture until the tax thereon
shah have been paid; but no dwelling house shall
be used for such purpose, and no door, window
or other opening shall be made or permitted In
the walls Of such warehouse leading into the
dlStilleGy or into any other room or building; and
such warehouse, when approved by the commits
slOner Of Internal revenue, or report Of the col
lector, is hereby declared to be bonded ware
house Of the United States, to be known az D
dlgtillery warehouse, and shah be under the d.
rectIOn and control Of the collector Of the dis
trict, and In charge Of an internal revenue,
store keeper assigned thereto by the commlAs,,
slOner. 80
In this warehouse the goods may,
remain in the care and custody Ofthe.
government official above provided for
at the discretion Of the distiller for
three years, and the tax due thereon is
loaned by the government to the dis
tiller during this time. At the end of
three years, after being thus cared for
at the government expense, they may
be withdrawn for export to foreign
ports under the provisions of section
1880, revised statutes, without pay
ment Of the tax due. If sold in for
eign countries the tax is lost TO the
government and no recompense is
provided for the three years Of care in
the distillery warehouse.
II, however, the distiller's purpose
in exporting is to gain the increased
value due to the "sging process" he.
may hold his goods in foreign ware,
houses for any length of time he de-
sires. Whenever he decides to return
them to this country he may do so still
without payment of the tsx,and when
so returned they are entitled, under
the law, to storage in United States
custom houses or sny bonded ware
house owned or leased by the governs,

the discretion of the owner. If at the

Being a man, writes Ora Seaney, the
Partisan man-milliner to THE DISPATCH,
1 know well the Inconvenience and unpleas-
antness of sitting in the theater behind a
hat whose towering dimensions exclude the
slightest glimpse of the performance. A
New York belle, after being seated in one of
the uptown theaters, quietly removed her
had and received a vote of thanks from the
male portion of the assemblage for her con-
siderate thoughts of others welfare. London
ladies formerly wore hats of soft felt but
now wear none at all. But this is imprac-
ticable with US, as no woman cares to sit an
entire evening with a disheveled head of
hair, which is the result when the hat is
taken of without the aid of a mirror, and
neither does she care to leave the theater
with her hat set on the head so far from the
perpendicular as to resemble the leaning
tower of Pisa. When the hat is removed. a
q stylish and becoming coiffure is an abso-
lutte accompaniment to a handsome costume
and until ladies' t1ilet rooms are added to
our modern places of amusement there is
no probability that uncovered heads will be
the ruling fashion. There is perhaps no

draperies of roseate silk, veiled with lace,

For baby's toilet there are china sponge
basins with quaint Kate Greenaway figures,
which have two compartments, one for hot
and one for cold wateri the powder box and
soap dish accompany them. They are
sometimes for greater convenience set in
wicker stands lined with dotted muslin, and
with strong handles so that they can be

at the moment when sleep is descending, the
face should be composed into peaceful lines,
the mouth gently closed to breathe only
through the nose, and the lids slowly lowered

An effort is being made to form, in the

One Pittsburg girl is happy over the re-
cent fog and moisture, and she was encouni
tered on Friday in street car, unburdening
her feelings to a friend: "This weather is
splendid for the complexion. My physician
says so, and go out every foggy day for as
long as possible without veil. 1t is the
London fogs you know" she finished, "that
makes English girls so blooming"
The visite here shown is OF black surah
and chantilly. ! A wide surah is gotten SO
that the cape may be made without any
seams. 1t is in reality straight strip Of
silk gathered at the neck to band of ribbon
which is folded over to conceal the sewing,
and then flares at the front so that the long
ends may form the fastening, says the Ladies'
Home Journal. Three frills OF ohantilly
lace trim the lower edge, the lowest one fall
ing below the silk. These frills must be
extremely full, and great care is taken in
their sewing on, which is, OF course, done
by hand.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-01-11

The hood, which in the picture is drawn
over the head, is also of lace, and when it is
of, falls at the back in the prettiest and
quaiptest manner possible. An all-white
visite may be trimmed with white silk lace
of any kind, and the hood will then be
made either of piece lace or of a fichu OF
sufficient size for that purpose. A few
visites are noted that are intended for street
wear, but it must be remembered that this
is not really the use to which they should be
put, the ladies of olden times being carried
in their sedani chairs. and not appearing
with visite upon them when they were
walking.
A New York woman thinks she has
solved the question of managing servants,

too many orders, and depended too much
upon their not being carried out Two or
three months ago I got French maid who
speaks no English. My French is very
limited, but have never got on SO beauti-
fully with any person in my. employ before.
The first day she came 1 showed her how 1
wished certain things done, and being un-
able to enlarge verbally upon the method, 1
gave her object lessons. When the things
had been done criticized in the same ma
terial way, shaking my head and pointing
out practically where deficiency was, and
indicating satisfaction by a cordial, but
limited 'C'est bien.' In this way she got
my idea perfectly, and feeling my weakness
in the matter of language. have looked
after her daily, and almost without COM
ment. The result is smooth sailing in her
department. which attribute largely to my
inability to give elaborate orders"
A "Chinese corner" is new decorative
effect in house furnishings, and is especially
suitable for library. The more closely the
line can be drawn between the Chinese and
Japanese impedinenta the better showing it
makes for the authors culture, and the more
likely it is to confuse the ordinary observer.
The pretty woman here shown not only
wears the correct toreador hat, but wears it
properly. 1t is of scarlet felt, having a con-
ical crown and a brim that stands dis
tinctly off from the crown before it
turns up. Over the brim is network of

this is sufficient Endorsement for opera bon
nets. Ladies may have full. blown roses or
large flowers interviewer in their hair, but
this requires the services of an artist and
should only be worn with curly, fluffy hair,
and, as the water wave promises a reign for
some time to come, it is absolutely necessary
10 wear q bonnet with this style of arrange
ment. Take it as you will, you had best
provide yourself with one, two or three ca
potes which can be made appropriate for
theaters. In regard TO size, allow me to say,
wear them as small as possible, and the
color should be one of the various light
hues of the rainbow, with the ethereal effect
in the make up, and generally of but
one material, and never more than
two materials on the same bonnet.
Thus. one may be resplendent with mock
jewels, another with flmy lace, another
with flowers and another with illusion, all
together forming perfect contrast under
one canopy and a sight ut for the gods. The

tions is an adaptation of Before and
AFTER" The toque as il should be worn
on the street and to and from the theater is
composed of black velvet, with stylish
bow at the front, and one standing erect at
the back with small border OF flowers
peeping from beneath and dividing the
velvet from the hair. Beneath this common
place looking affair is the mystery or sECle-
ton in the closet, as it were, for the little
toque consists OF a spring, and through this
is drawn a small wreath of cream velvet
iorget-me-nots, and the black ribbon bow
at the back is attached to this frame and
makes perfect hat when the covering is
removed. The covering is so cut as
