The Government the Greatest Loser by the
Sale of "Doctored" Liquor.
WAsHINGToN. Feb. 2l-Lewis Abraham.
Washington lawyer, to-day testified be-
fore the committee investigating the
Whisky Trust that the adulteration and
sale of imitation goods was on the increase.
This business caused q large loss to the
government The imitation goods paid an
internal revenue tax of about 60 cents
gallon. The imported paid about $3.50 q
gallon. The output of these limitations de-
creased the importation. and the govern
ment lost the difference between the in
ternal revenue and the import duty. The
production of rye and bourbon was greatly
decreased last year. Rye decreased LOO4.-
949 gallons. and bourbon 913.61S gallons.
The increase in spurious goods increased
accordingly.
Deputy Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. Wilson took the stand and was ex-
amined In relation to the internal revenue
laws. He spoke of the privileges OF recti.
tiers. and said that the present laws did not
require them to report the amount OF es-
pounding. Hecould not say If they could
be compelled to do so under the law. He
thought Ii hardly practicable to do so. as
the quantities of these essences and oils
used were so small 1t would require this
information to be collected from some
fifteen thousand rectiters and greatly in :
Grease the work of the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
Mr.. Bynum asked If witness could sng-
gest some change in the law to protect con-
sumers against compounded goods.
Mr.. Wilson replied that the law could be
changed so as to require all such goods to
be stamped. A stamp could be placed on
each bottle to show whether or not it was
compounded. He thought that this plan
would work. as tho manufacturers OF pure
goods would watch for and report VIOLA
tlons of it, Importers were watchful and
reported promptly all limitations of i'm
ported goods they found. This made COM
Founders careful and greatly reduced imi.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Referring to the make
up of Presidentelect Cleveland's Cabinet the
Washington correspondent Of the Herald says:
"Mr. Cleveland's entire Cabinet, announced to-
day, seems to be satisfactory to the Democrats in
the Senate and House. 1t is generally believed
that Mr. Cleveland in the selection Of his official
household was animated By the desire to sur
round himself with men in whom he could trust
implicitly and who are well fitted for their re-
spectivo places. In the latter respect the Cabi-
net is highly thought of. All of the men are be-
ueved to be diligent and conscientious workers,
and no department, Ii Is anticipated, will languish
for want of an energetic head. 1t Ia a yoIng Cab
