MORE INIOU!TY.

Every day develops some fresh in
iguity In the monstrous tariff bill. Last
week we pointed out the free gift to the
sugar importers, and consequent de-
pletion of the Treasury, on account of
the postponement of the date of the
sugar duties taking effect. This has
been estimated as high as $4,000, 900.
Now it seems that the great whisky trust
is to be similarly favored. The tax is to
be raised at once to s1.10 a gallon, but
that already manufactured and in bond
is not to be affected, and the holders are
to have eight years in which to take it
out and pay the tax. AS there are
200,000,000 gallons in bond, or enough
to supply the country for two years. this
means an out-and-out present to the
whisky trust of $40,000,0O0, and the
loss to the Government of all revenue
from that source for two years This
was the work of the whisky trusts agents,
operating mainly through the Kentucky
delegation, though there was help re-
ceived from other sources when it was
needed.
The brewers, who are the most power
full political body in this country,
through their control of the saloons, are
as happy as the whisky men. They es,
capped all increase of taxation, though
they are paying much less proportion
than similar businesses have to bear in
this country and elsewhere. Any just
equalization of taxation would have
raised the rate on beer from 81 to 50 q
barrel. But the powerful syndicates
wanted their great profits to pay gold
dividends to their English bondholders
and they served distinct notice to the

Coz. Fl. G. PARSONS, formerly MEM
Der of that splendid regiment, the LIST
Vt. Cav, in which he was Captain,
was assassinated at Clifton Forge, Va,
by man who claimed that he had been
discharged from his position as conduc-
tor on the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
on account of a complaint made by
Col. Parsons The murdered man was
widely known, and everywhere highly
esteemed He was a gallant soldier,
and led his company with splendid
courage in the famous charge made by
Farnsworth's Brigade on the left of the
line, on the third day at Gettysburg.
1t will be remembered that Gen. Farms
worth and a great number of the bri-
gade were killed, and the loss in wound
ed was frightful. Capt. Parsons was
shot through the breast, and otherwise
badly hurt. After the war he went to
Virginia, bought the Natural Bridge, and
greatly improved the property, building
fine hotel and developing it into a popu-
lar resort. He likewise developed other
large enterprises, and was instrumental
in taking large amount of Northern
capital into Virginia for the extension
of railways and other improvements.
Though never accepting office, he had
strong political convictions, and was one
of the leading Republicans of the South.
He was an able and graceful writer, as
the readers of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
will remember from his contributions to
these columns. His death is a severe
loss to Virginia, for no man in the State
had done or was doing more for the de-
velopment of her resources.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE feels itself
splendidly indicated by the course of
events. More than a year ago we
begged the Commissioner of Pensions to
satisfy the public as to the character of
the pension-roll by causing careful and
judicial examination of a number of
pension cases taken directly from the
mass. We felt sure that such an ex-
animation, made with all precautions to
satisfy the public that the cases taken
were fair sample of the whole, would
be a most effective proceeding. The Com
missioner did not act on our suggestion.
Had he done so, he could not have
failed to have become convinced that
the expensive fraud-hunt since would be
fruitless in results, and he could have
devoted the energies of the Bureau
solely to the proper work of settling up
the work accumulated in the office. We
have now the satisfaction-though it is
always poor one-of saying we told
you so"
