THURSDAY EVENING FEB /, 1891

Ir HAS been stated in the GAZETTE :
Washington correspondence that the
prospect for an increase of naval YES
sells by the present Congress is any
thing else than favorable. Well, hard
", as some of the new ships have to be
cut in two and heightened in order to
keep them from turning over. The
improvements in naval architecture
aud armament are now so great ana
so frequent that war vessels built one
wear are back numbers the next; and
rs there is no probability that this
country will have any use for such YES
sells in the near future, unless 1t shall
continue to appoint such ministers as
Messrs. Egan, Stevens and Smythe,
and such naval commanders as Adj
miral Benham, it will certainly be the
part of wisdom to waste no more
money in building them, especially IN
view of the present depleted Condition
of the Treasury.

LEGISLATIVE.

In the Senate yesterday the Miller
local option bill was ordered to its en-
grossment. The bill as ordered to its
engrossment restricts local option to
towns of less than 5000 inhabitants and
to counties and magisterial districts. In
other words it exempts from the provi-
sions of the local option law all towns
and cities having 5000 inhabitants and
more.

In the House Mr.. Boykin offered two

poses to amend section II so as to do
away with the provision of the law pro-
hibiting the taking from natural oyster
rocks of oysters measuring two and
halt inches from hinge to mouth and to
require oysters TO be culled on the
rocks when taken. The other bill
so amends the existing law as to make

provided by law Also, to allow OWL.

The Tariff Bill.

In the House of Representatives the
greater part Of yesterday was spent in
discussing the distilled spirits schedule
of the internal-revenue bill. An amend
ment offered by Mr.. Dingley, leaving
the bonded period of whisky as it is at
present, was carried, and is the first
and only amendment which the repub-
licans have succeeded in incorporating
in the bill. An amendment by Mr..
Walker to increase the tax on whisky
beyond that which was recommended
by the ways and means committee
(Which is 10 cents GALLON was rejected
An amendment by Mr.. Springer was
agreed to, putting tax oftwo per cent.
on incomes derived from succession and
from gifts, deYisees and inheritance Of
both real estate and personal property
The internal-revenue bill, which in
cludes the income tax, was added TO
the Wilson bill by vote of Us to 56,
despite the earnest protests of those
democrats who have contended that it
should not be connected with the tariff
reform measure The amendment has
now become, so far as the democrats
can make it, portion of the party
policy. OF the ffty-six votes against
lacking the internal-revenue bill to the
tariff measure at least twenty were
republicans. The majority Of the Il
democrats who voted in caucus against
the addition of the internal-revenue
bill to the tariff bill yielded their own
convictions on the subject and voted
for the amendment in order to remain
loyal TO tariff reform.

TIE best provision in the new tariff
bill. in every aspect in which that bill
bill can be viewed, is the one that i'm
poses a tax on surplus incomes. 1t
will be collected only from those who
can we'll afford TO pay it, and it Is a tax
to which every sane man, if not suo-
ject to it. will strain his very heart

First he bought two blocks Of Wash

he ate weighed over two pounds. He
then strayed down to another stall where
he put his vest up as q wager that lie
could eat twenty pounds of raw pork
sausage in half an hour. He pulled off
his vest, sat himself down in a chair and
started on the great pile Of raw meat.
For ten minutes he ate steadily and SO
rapidly that the crowd standing by wei e
amazed.
After the first squirt he ate little
slower, taking the stuff in mouthfuls in
stead of hunks.
His appetite palled more and more until
twenty minutes had gone by, when he
announced that he was ready 10 give uE
the rest. He had enough.
Bat the sausage had diminished from
three full pounds to bare three quarters
He had eaten two and quarter pound
of raw sausage in twenty minutes.
Some one suggested that shote b

but he had hog enough.
He came here on the train this mornln
and says he had nothing to eat for tW
