The stamn Tax on 25 Cent pa


The wisdom of the proposed cent tax
on every % cent package of medicine,
perfumcry, cosmetics, etc, is questiona-
bic. The effect of it viii he to disorgan-
lie a great many kinds of business, in
GLIDING that of advertising, and to throw
a large number of men and women out of
employment The amount that would be
raised from it would be small in compari-
son with the injury it would do to. many
kinds of business. 1t would subject a
very large number of manufacturers.
agents and publishers to double taxation,
because they would not only have to paw
an income tax, but also a tax on their
respective kinds of business
And consumers would also, in some in
stances, suffer, because the packages
would have to be made smaller or else
the goods would be adulterated. From
whatever point the tax is viewed it ap-
pears TO be an unwise one
The tax upon these small packages was
among the first internal taxes to be
repealed after the civil war, and itseems
remarkable that it should be thought ad-
visable in a time OF peace to 90 back to a
war policy of taxation From customs
and the few articles from which internal
revenue is now drawn a sufficient revenue
ought to be obtained to meet the demands
of the government. 1t is to be hoped it
will not be found necessary to go back to
the stamp tax policy to obtain revenue.

The ivcliest divorce centers of The

Nile. He tells OF an alteration that
took place between one Of his most trust

which squnbble resulted in q divorce in
less than five minutes Tho scene

Catching Thief.

Salndo, one of tho oleverest OF the
Paris detectives, was one day making
his round of the QUARTER du Temple
when he found himself in q group lis
tening to man selling silver watches
for francs each. 6a1ndo bought one
and having assured himself that 1t was
genuine came to tho not unnatural con
clusion that these watches could not
have been come by honestly.
The vender was, however, a giant
and Saindo is by no means blessed with
largo proportions He furthermore M
gued that there were confoderates among
the group. In minute or two he had
formed plan. He asked the man to
take a glass Of wine. saying that he
meant TO purchase another watch. The
offer was accepted, and second watch
was rendered, which Saindo pretended
to examine He, however, suddenly
took to his heels, watch in hand. There

Stop, thicfl"
When Saindo got him as far es the
police station, he turned around, clutch
ed the other by the throat, and to the

An ingenious Brooklyn stadsddan es-
Inmates that united Brooklyn has over
100, 900 cats, Of which moro than one
half are unsheltered. He considers It os
conservative estimate that 10 per cent
of the 1000, 900 inhabitants Of onr SIS
ter city arc kept awake at night by the
bowling Of the 100, 900. This makes
ono case Of insomnia per cat and lends
one to the conclusion that Brooklyn Is q
very sleepless city. If cats and insomnia
prevail with eaual v1rulenoe In other
cities, it would follow that there are
5000, 600 cats and 6, 900, 900 cases Of In.

PARTISAN TARIFF NONSENSE.

The more the IntcUiJcnccr attempts
to discuss the tariff the moro ratified"
1t becomes. II has apparently reached
the silly stage. 1t says:
There was time when the distance be-
tween this country and Europe cut some

home Industry. Rapidly, ease and cheap
ness OF communication have wiped out any
advantage we ever possessed IN this par
ucular. The Trainers Of tho Wilson bill
know this and have banked on 10 for the
benefit OF the foreign producer.
This is the first intimation va have
had that ocean steamers carried freight
for nothing. Here in the United States
freight rates for 80 miles are considered
an important item in Industrial compe-
tition. Europe is 5000 miles distant.
When the IHtcjjigcHccr seriously states
that the trainers of the Wilson bill have

of the foreign producer" IT becomes
laughabe.
The trainers of tho Wilson bill are
Americans, they live I'm America have
all their interests In America, and the
welfare OF the American people and the
prosperity of American industry are
their own welfare and prosperity, and
we have not heard that any member Of

II is the general opinion OF Congress-
men who have given the matter atten-
tion that tine Wilson bill will pass by
the practically unanimous vote OF the
Democrats. The votes OF the Populst

be cast for the measure. a majority OF

Four or five Democratic members
whose political existence would stand in
jeopardy il they failed to support the
monopoies in their several districts,
may vote against the measure, or not
vote at all, but this will be the extent OF

In other words, there will be practically

the State. After disposing of the neces-
sary routine business, the Grange took
recess until . o'clock y. N.

viously arranged, very appropriate ad-
dresses of welcome were delivered
by Mayor c. w. Arnett and ex-

dormant for years have been reorgan-
ized during the past year, and many
new members have been added 90 tho

This will not mean that Demo

II the law as II stands prevents such

We arc inclined to side with Senator
GALLINGER, OF New Hampshire. who
fayors its entire repeal As 1t is inter
preted at present, it simply gives the
partisan enemies Of the administration

the Offices and is not reform, but
