Purely an American Production.

Complaint has been made 10 the
Secretary Of the Treasury that the
regulations OF that department in re-
gard 20 the free importation OF AMI
mails for breeding purposes discriini'
mates against American trotters. Tho
complaint was made by Hon. Walter
/. HAYES. member OF Congress from
Iowa. and was referred by the Treas
nry Department 10 Secretary Rusk.
To Mr.. Hayess complaint that THESE
regulations. made upon expert advice
OF the Secretary OF Agriculture, strike
a blow at the only distinctive type OF
American "a horses" Secretary Rusk has
replied that the law requires that no
animal shall bs admitted free unless
pure bred OF a recognized breed; that
no discrimination Is made against any
breed. that the only requirement 10
that an animal TO be imported free
OF duty should have five-sixteenths OF
the blood of its breed, and that II evil
deDce to this effect cannot be pro
duced, surely such animals cannot be
considered pure bred. ''As a matter
OF fact" the Secretary goes on TO say,
s'the standard trotter Is purely an
American production. and consequent
Iy breeders do not need 10 import
trotting horses to improve the Ameri-
can trotter, while animals 50 imported,
on the other hand, win Doubtless be
found to compete with American
breeders" ~

a Really Interesting VIII.

A remarkable curious will has just been
puDlished-so remarkable, indeed, that IL
might well be added to the already copious
catalogue of eccentric documents of this
nature The testator was wine merchant
of Bristol, who left personally valued at a
little less than g1600 He bequeathed
one-half Of his property in trust to secure
an annuity of $50 to his wife during her
widowhood, and directed that the other
moiety should be divided into as many
shares as he had children, for whom, until
they respectively attained the age of six
teen years, the trustees are TO provide
''plain food, simple clothing and bare nee
essaries," together with a sound prac-
teal education at day school or boarding
school,
At the conclusion of their scholastic
course the boys are not to have any pay
ment made on their behalf, excepting such
as may be requisite for teaching them
some honest trade or handicraft, just as il
they were the children of some working
man who had only left behind him a GER
tain sum to pay for the education Of his
offspring. If, however, any one of the lads
is found to display exceptional capacity
for profession, such as to give promise
that he would gain distinction therein
the trustees are authorized to spare no ex-
pense in his training for such profession,
and may even, if they think it desirable,
trench on the capital of his share, but If
any one child, owing to continued ill
health, should be incapacitated from earn
ing his own living, the trustees may apply
part of the income of his share to his
maintenance On attaining the age OF
twenty-five years each son and daughter
is TO receive his OF her share in the tesla
tors property, the payment of which, how
ever, may be deferred if circumstances de-
mand it for another two years.-London

BEER I'M AMERICA.

from the People.

some Idea OF the Tax the Trade Draws
from the People.
The total production of beer in the
United States on which a revenue tax
was paid during the special revenue
year ended April 30, 1892, was 31,475,-
$40 barrels, or about half barrel for
every man, woman and child in the
country. New York led the trade with
9,512, $40 barrels, or over a barrel and a
half for each member of the popu-
lation. Pennsylvania came next with
S.129, 1873, and Illinois third with
2, sSs, 1854. The other states that ex-
ceeded million barrels each are Ohio,
1850. COS: Wisconsin, 2,605. 6Ss; Missouri,
2,Ol4, 0s6; New Jersey, 1857, 63S; Massa-
chusetts, 1,O95. $50. Iowa produced 1l4,-
523 barrels and Kansas 1860 barrels on
which the tax was paid, in spite of pro-
hibition laws. The only states that did
not pay a beer tax were Arkansas,
Florida, Maine. Mississippi, North Car
DINA and Vermont.
This beer, and much more that is inn
ported, is drank by the people of the
United States. Some idea of the tax
which the trade draws from the people
can be gained from the statement that
at ten cents a quart (growler price, it
would cost 1896, SOL, $50. This would
buy, at SO per barrel, &C, 09s, $50 barrels
of flour, or one for every man. woman
and child in the United States and
territories, and leave million or two
of barrels over for orphan asylums and
charity hospitals. Or it would give a
barrel of sugar aud three barrels OF
-four to every family in the country A
government statistician has estimated
that the profits on the beer trade
amount to four-sevenths of the gross
receipts. This would give a net profit
of $500, iG6, 594, making a living profit
of 5000 year to S77.944 beer sellers, or
one saloon for every III inhabitants of
all ages and both sexes.
This. it is to be borne in mind, is the
financial result of the beer trade alone.
II takes no account of the traffic in
whisky, brandy, rum, gin, wine, cider,
champagne and other drinks, hard and
soft. If some people are astounded at
the magnitude of the drink trade 1t
NAV occur to them that there is one
very effective way to tighten their
drink tax. That tax does not fall upon
ANYBODY who let's it alone. Western

An Iron Mountain In Australia.

Forty miles from Port Augusta, Spen-
GERS gulf, south Australia, is an immense
deposit of iron, reaching a height Of some
500 feet above the level of the plain, which
promises in point of extent and quality to
eclipse any of the wonderful mountains
of iron" which from time to time are dis
covered in the United States. The colonial
ferriferous elevation, which has been ap.
propriately christened the Iron Monarch,
was, it seems, acquired two or three years
ago by a syndicate, not for the iron which
il might produce, but for the silver which
experts believed must lie under the ferric
surface. The sanguine expectations of the
company were, however, never destined to
be realized.
The Iron Monarch soon showed that IL
was not going to belle its name, and that
its superficial show was an accurate reflex
Of its interior-in short, that it was never
intended by nature, as its anxious ex-
plorers have fondly imagined, to prove a
rival to the famous Broken Hill. 1t is
nevertheless probable that the Iron Mon
arch will. in the course of time, become as
great an iron mine, or rather quarry, as
the celebrated hill in New. South Wales
with the disreputable title Is a silver mine.
Which y cdutf oicAlN " say lhs that AZ Will
eventually be the largest iron mine in the
world.
At present the owners Of the Iron Mon
arch are undecided with respect to the
probable best markets for their ore, which.
is said to assay from IS to 81 per cent. of
iron oxide. But negotiations are Ia
progress, and the full development Of this
remarkable mine is apparently within
measurable distance Of contamination

The Political Pot in Louisiana.


NEW ORLEANS, L., March 10
Ten days from now the question as to
which is the true democratic ticket
will be decided. The submission of
the question to democratic primaries
was designed to bring about complete
party unity, but up to date the result
seems anything but that. The cam.
paign is now as vigorous and as bitter
as before the lottery question was eli
minated from lie. Meetings are being
held in every section of the state, and
the interest shown continues to pre-
dominate over all other matters.
Both sides are engaged in an attempt
to show the public that the other is
unworthy of bel e instructed with
the conduct of the state, and in pursu
ing the attempt they are not ct all
guarded in the choice of their words
nor the disclosure of ugly political
records An instance of the general
ill.feeling was given in the mobbing
this week OF Foster speakers in the
Twelfth Ward of New Orleans.
Missiles of various sorts were thrown
by ruffians. including oyster shells,
one of which struck an auditor on the
head.

Hill Disappoints Them.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Southern
and western democrats make little
conceaIment of their disappointment
at Hilps speeches. His absolute
avoidance of the silver question,
which they consider the main
question of Importance now, an
noys them. They say nobody
has q doubt of Hills democracy or
vigor, or his views as relating to re-
publicanism, but they prefer TO hear
something from him on the points to
be considered in selecting
q candidate for the party
They want to know before
putting q man into the White House
whether he is going to veto the silver
bill when he gets there, and as his
tour south is avow edly political, they
think he should sieze the occasion to
let the southern people know his
standing on this question. The in
dications are that unless his speeches
say something more than they have
thus far his tour will have little effect
on HIPS standing with the poll.
