THE WHISKY TAX.

The question Of increasing the in
ternal revenue tax on whisky has been
again raised i'll congress by the intro
huction of a bill to that effect in the
lower branch by Representative SCOTT,
of Illinois. Mr.. SCoTT's bill proposes a
tax of $1.25 a gallon. The press gener-
ally is discussing the proposition, and
the drift of opinion seems to favor the
New York Worlds plea for a 6O-cent
increase. Such an increase would add
a clean $50, 100000 year to the revenues
of the country, and would admit of
reduction to that extent of tariff tax
alton OIL the necesSaries of life. The
argument which effected a reduc-
ton of the whisky tax years ago
will not apply now to perpetuate
the reduced rate. That argument was
based simply on the difficulties in col
lection and on the incentive to illicit
diStillatlon which the high tax had
proved to be. But Uncle Sam is in
better shape to enforce his mandates
now than he was in the days of the for
mer high tax on whisky. His revenue
officers would make short work of
law-breakers. The perfection of the
machinery of government guarantees
That whatever tax is voted by congress
will be collected by the federal author
tiles. Therefore it resolves itself into a
question of whether we shall collect
another $50, 900 of revenue from the
whisky tax or continue to follow the
Republican plan of collecting it from
Ihe tax Oh blankets and flannels.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
An Explosion Fires a Large Flour

Seven Firemen Caught Under a
Falling Wall, Four Being
Killed.

ALBANY, Dec. l9-About 1890
o'clock this afternoon there was terri
BILE explosion in the elevator shaft of
the Fort Orange Milling company's
building. facing on the river front and
backing On the Erie canal basin. The
sparks set fire to the dry grain and
flour. Charles B. Woolverton, men,
Der of the firm, was burned in a most
horrible manner.
Shortly after 6 p. m. the men of
Steamer Company No. 4, who were
lingering inside the ruins, were orderefi
home by the chief. AS they proceeded
to get out by the river front, the east
wall, which was standing sixty
feet high. toppled over without
moments warning, the upper
half falling inward and the
men were buried under eight feet of
debris James Shattuck Jr., Bernard
Banner. his brother, Fred Banner. and
John Whitnell were first rescued. Whit
nell and Bernard Banner were seriously
injured, and were taken to the
hospital in the ambulance. The
house physician after an examination,
SAID Bernard Banner would likely die,
but thought Withheld could pull
through all right. Shattuck and Fred
Banner were not badly hurt. The
tiremen continued working on the
ruins and in few minutes came upon
the dead bodies of Charles Marshall,
foreman of Steamer No 4. and John
Bridgeford. The body of Fred Amthor
was recovered at 9:36 p. nj. and was
found to be badly crushed. The in

this view to the consideration of those
deft manipulatorS out in Montana and
Wyoming who are just now engaged in
stealing senatorships. 1t also tenders
the same advice to those potent, grave
and irreverend senators down in Wash
ington who are contemplating the pos
sibility of becoming particeps crlminls
with the Western burglars.
1t will not pay, and five minutes
ciphering will demonstrate it. The SEN
ate stands: Forty-seven Republicans,
thirty-nine Democrats and two PopullstS.
Two Democrats replace Republicans In
Wisconsin and New York. leaving 1T
forty-five to forty-one; Kansas and Ne
braska will take off two more. leaving
it forty-three, and probably making the
Populists four. California will replace
the Republican with Democrat or
Populist, and North Dakota is reason
ably certain to do the same. That cuts
the Republicans in the senate to forty
two anyway, maybe to forty-one. Inc
Populists KYLE and PETER have said
they will vote with the Democrats. CIV
ing them control. So if the Montana
and Wyoming senatorships are again
stolen, it will avail nothing. SO 1t Will
not pay. The GLOBE puts it on this
ground only because it knows that the
ethical ground is one the parties ad-
dressed cannot comprehend.

Rev. w. Fl. Geistweit Says Freeze

Rev. W. II. Geisweit discussed "The
Problem of Church Discipline" al the
Baptist ministers meeting yesterday
morning. At the outset he said a good
many names were found in church rec
ords that would be more appropriately
placed in ''rogue's gallery"
Next came the not wholly bad peO-
pie, whose lives were, nevertheless, at
variance with church requirements
Wlne-drlnkerS and such. He then dis
cussed his subject under two heads.
He did otfavor total exclusion of those
who might sin grossly. That was like
capital punishment. Rather try to bring
the sinner back to the church. He read the
newspapers lecture for their readiness
to give publicity to church scandals.
He never saw city where they were
so ready to do this. He advocated a
course OF chilliness toward the people
who pretend to be in good standing, yet
seldom come near the church. Last OF
all. churches should exercise more care
in the admission of new members.
Ministers, III their anxiety to swell the
church membership, are often careless
i'll this respect. He would have dea-
con for every fifty members, the dea-
cons to act as prudential committee.
The minister should never be forced to
look up evidence in church trial, but
Should sit as the judge.
Before the Methodists Rev. Benjamin
Longley read paper on "Woman's
Work in the Church" He took the ira
ditional view of the subject as voiced
by the text: Let the women keep
silence" They might work in the
church. but should let the men do the
talking and managing.

FEVERED FANCIES.

The New York Recorder describes
last months landslide as ''the triumph
Of the Tammany machine in this city,
Of Boss MCLAUGHLIN machine over

the PopuliSt victories in the West"
How about Illinois?
And Indiana?
And Michigan?
And Wisconsin?
And Connecticut?
And New Jerseyr
And California?
And Ohio?
Neither Tammany nor the Populists
cut any figure in these states. But of
course the esteemed Recorder is not
1ebasing its head-covering to the ig-
noble purposes of a speaking tube. The
GLOBE places the utmost confidence in
The inability of any Republican news

ing the late cataclysm. They are a trifle
upset by the shock, to be sure, but as
soon as the delirium works itself off
they will forget these fevered fancies
and settle down into prayerful gratitude
for the few bones left unbroken.

MORSE AND BOWKER.

One Said to Be Indicted, and the
Other May he.
The grand jury spent all of yesterday
investigating Bowker,s alleged home.
Among the witnesses who appeared to
tell what they knew of the matter was
Mrs. Bowker herself. Besides Mrs.
Bowker there were several other ladies
whose names could not be learned, but
who all held seance with the grand
jury. At night, after spending the day
on the Bowker case, one Indictment
was returned and a warrant given to
the sheriff.
1t was given out definitely yesterday
that George A. Morse had been indicted
OH the charge of stealing the famous
papers fiom the district court vaults,
and it was also rumored that he would
have his trial in the same way Tom
Moore did that is. be brought in at the
back door and taken to the judges
chambers, where he would plead guilty,
and pay his fine, whatever it might be.
The only thing definite in the BOWker
case at present appears to be that the
reverend gentleman may be expected
to put in an appearance in the district
court shortly to answer to charge
emanating from his wife.

SOME PENSION FIGURES.

The census of 1890 showed that in that
year there we're in the country l,073,057
surviving soldiers of the Union armies
during the late war, 25,6SO surviving
sailors and marines, and 1913, l60 SurVlv-
Ing widows of soldiers or sailors who
died for the cause. These three divis-
Ions foot up a total of 1,262,705. This
number includes those who served less
than ninety days and those who were
not honorably discharged, both of which
glasses are ineligible for pensions. 1t
Is reasonable to estimate that 10000 have
died since the census was taken. OF
those who were not hOnorably dis
charged aud those who served less than
ninety days, 200 900 would be low eSti-
mate. 1t appears, therefore, that there
are in the country today about 100000
survivors and widows of the late war
who are legally entitled to have their
claims for pensions considered.
The pension roll now includes over
100000 names. Of this number pen
BiOners of Indian wars, the Mexican
war, war of 1912 and Revolutionary war
do not comprise $4,000. all told. Accord
ingly, out of the 100000 possible pen
sioners OF the late war there are $4,000
on the pension rolls This fact in itself
is conclusive evidence of enormous cor
ruption in the pension bureau, but this
is not all. There are still pending over
100000 applications for pensions, which
are, for the most part, original claims.
If those claims are allowed we will have

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT

The adoption of the amendment pro-
special laws for the government of
cities, and from amending any hereto
fore passed, is attracting the attention
of the cities of the state, one result of
which was the meeting here yesterday
of several of the law advisers of the
cities of the state. They discussed the
matter informally. adopted resolution
that the legislature should appoint a
commission to investigate and report,
and adjourned until Jan. d. Meanwhile,
common councils, chambers of COM
MERGE and boards of trade will discuss
the features of the general law which,
it is generally assumed, will have to be
enacted.
1t is favorable moment to consider
whether it is not better to enact gen.
eral law which will give home rule to
the various cities of the state than to
continue under the theory that the state
is the source of power, and that every
municipality must find in its charter or
the general law the authority for every
power it may see fit to exercise. What
IS there, even now, to prevent the val
idity of general law which shall allow
any city to adopt such bylaws for it's
government, and exercise such powers,
not inconsistent with the Constitution,
as it shall see fit, incorporating in it the
principle of the referendum by requir-
ing the governing body of the city to
initiate on petition such measures as
the people wish enacted. or refer to
them for confirmation organic acts, or
those contemplating improvements?
Why should not the majority in any
city direct the affairs of the city? If
they wish to build water works, or street
railways, or gas, OF electric plants, or
auditoriums, why should they not with
out need of first asking legislature
for permission? Why not. in short, be
as largely democratic as possible?

MIR. NELSON'S OPPORTUNITIES.

KNUTE NELSON will take the gov
ernor's chair next month, encumbered
with fewer obligations than any OF MS
predecessors ever SAT down in it with.
He owes nobody anything. He is free
from all of those claims which every
candidate incurs. He owes no debt to
the corporate interests which used their
money and influence to elect him. lie
is hampered by no need of bending his
judgment to the individuals who placed
him in the gubernatorial chair. He is
even free from thralldom to his party
itself. On the contrary, all the obliga-
tionS move to him. Corporations, indi-
yiduals, even the party, owe him every
thing; he owes them nothing.
MIR. NELSON occupies this unique po-
sition simply because he wa, the only
man in the party whom these different
interests felt they could win with.
Long ago. just after the election in 100,
the Republican managers scanned the
gloomy field with anxious eyes for their
Moses. Some man must be found who
could bring the deserters back to the
ranks. But one figure presented itself
in all the field. 1t was the retired con-
gresham at Alexandra. Not because
he was an ex-member of con-
greSs; not because he was pre-
eminently a leader; not because
he was typical Republican. was he
chosen. He had forfeited all claims on
his party by opposing it at vital mo-
ment on vital question:. He yoluntar-
lily retired from political life because
he saw that he had cut himself adrift
from his party in his vote and speech on
the MILLS bill. He might as we'll re-
tire that way, because he would have
been retired by his party, which excuses
everything but recreancy.
He was taken simply and solely be-
cause the detection of 80 was mainly
from among the Norwegians, and, bank
ing Oh the strength of the national feel
ing, they chose him because he was Nor
wegian. Had he been plain JOHN MEL
SON, attorney, from Maine, he would
not have been disturbed III his law prac-
tice. The event justified their Judg-
ment. Enough recaIcitrantS were drawn
back to save tae party, to save the cor
porate interests attacked 10y the Democ-
racy. 1t is because of this that Mr.
NELSON owes them nothing. He is
their savior. not they his makers.
This independence opens before Mr..
NELSON great opportunities. if he rec
ognizes them as they come and seizes
them before they pass. He is absolute
master of the situation. If his ambi-
ton prompts him to rise higher, he can
demand and get his own election to the
senate, and need feel no Quaims of IN
requited duty to Mr.. DAVIS or any one.
He can initiate and approve of remedial
legislation striking down the monop-
olies of the state, and, if they expestu-
late, answer them nil debit He is mas
ter of the situation, with none to ques-
ton him or to say him nay. What will
he do with his opportunities?
