Must Fay a Liquor License Tax.

The Revenue Department at Wash.
ington has made ruling on the
Kelley Institutes which will necessi.
tate the taking out by them of
revenue license hereafter. In a letter
to the Kelley Co., at Dwight, ILL.,,
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Mason says, among other things,
"Your objection, it appears, is not to
the payment of the sum of money
repre- nting the tax which the ruling
Of thu Office, to which you refer, holds
to be due to the United States, By
your Institutes, but to the declaration,
under oath, in the Return, Form IL,
that you are retail dealers in liquor.
This, you say, you cannot conscien.
tiously make and, from the tenor of
your letter, it would seem that you
misapprehend the intent and effect of
the special tax law. 1t is not license
law, but simply law for the raising
of revenue for the United States. 1t
does not impose the tax merely upon
those persons who engage in the bust
ness of selling liquors for profit. 1t
goes much farther, and imposes the
tax not only on those persons, but on
every person who sells or offers foI
sale, foreign or domestic distilled
spirits, wines or malt liquors" and
who does not come within any exempt
ing provision. The stamp thus posted
up will not indicate that you are
liquor dealers in the commercial sense
as being engaged before the public il
selling alcoholic liquor as beverage
like saloon keepers. 1t will have ne
such meaning; on the contrary, it will
be simply your receipt for tax paid
and evidence that you have lawfully
and properly contributed your share
to the revenues of the United States.

In the entire history Of labor
troubles there is not an instance of a
sympathy sttike being successful. Tne
men at Homestead new this, and they
protested against the men in the Car
negie mills at Pittsburg striking at
this time. The Pittsburg men could
best have served their fellow workmen
by remaining at work. There may be
no demand just at present for funds,
but the time will come when money
will be needed, and in the furnishing
of finances the Pittsburg men could
hest have helped the Homestead
strikers. 1t is poor policy to destroy
the source of supplies.

ALL has been quiet at Homestead

ALL has been quiet at Homestead
since the arrival of the National
Guard, no sign Of disturbance having
manifested itself iu any way. The
soldiers have possession Of the town,
while the company again has possession
of its works. 1t is hoped before an.
other week passes all differences be-
tween employer and employed will
have been amicably adjusted and the
hum of industry once more enliven
the scene. No further outbreak is
apprehended.

SOME quite radical legislation is
being done by the Senate in conuee.
tiOn with the appropriation for the
Worlds Fair. On Wednesday of last
week the Senate voted S10,000,000 for
the Fair, to be issued in the souvenir
half dollars; but attached to the bill
was Mr.. Quay's amendment, making
this aid contingent upon closed doors
at the Fair on Sunday. A second
important amendment by Mr.. PETER
placed 2S Senators on record against
further aiding the Fair unless the sale
of liquor on the grounds is prohibited
Twenty.six Senators voted against the
PETER amendment, so that a majority
of only two carried it.

A BILL has been introduced in
Congress prohibiting Interstate trans.
portation Of Pinkertons. This would
hardly be effective. How could a
railway company know the occupation
of the passenger it transports ? And if
the bill should pass, the men who
have charge of the Pinkertons en-
route for any certain point would
hardly send them in body, but rather
singly, SO that nobody would know
their erraud, The only way TO get
around this matter is to forbid their
employment.

Sprung from race that dared TO face
A dreaded sea on the glorious mission,
OF founding place, where at least a trace
OF mans just rights, would be his in

Beneath the green by Penobscot's stream,
Stood the maRSe in which this boy was

Who, through lonely brake or by wooded
Could roam at pleasure, in lifc's early
morn.
Where the Indian stalked, and the great
pines talked
In whispering tones to the little stranger,
AS the merry Child in their mazes. whiled
His youthful days; nor dreamed of
danger
Though the tempests roar on the distant
shore
Re-echoed over glen and mountain.
And the brown bear peeped through the
foliage deep
On streamlets side, or by gushing foun-
tain.
A woodsman born: when tho trees were
torn
From the ground on which he had
played when young
He turned his face, with youths plant
grace
Toward the West-to the setting sun.
In the "Groves of Penn we lind him
then,
| Ere the flush of youth had left his brow
A pioneer good in the land he stood,
A philanthrOpist ever, then and now.
And though in age he may be a sage,
In heart and hope he is ever young.
Time has not changed, nor frost derangeC
The helpful sweetness that ever clung
To his wildwood heart that takes no par
In that which Injuries. When is done
His work below, may a sunset glow
His memory gild, like setting sun.
