have lived III the city of Chelsea,
Mass, for the last 20 years and some
Of the people thought that it would
ruin the place to have rum taken out
OF it. But nearly four years ago they
thought they had had rum enough
and, business on no business, the rum
had to go and since that time the
business Of the city has improved
Nice buildings are going up on every
hand and banks now occupy the cor
ners that were once rum saloons and
our streets are cleaner everywhere and
there are better officers to keep them
so.
Now If we can see so great benefits
in a large city where temptation is all
around them we think the editor OF
the Rutland Herdld must be little
blinded by some partisan outlook and
does not use his influence to get the
right city officials.
One of the greatest wishes of my
heart is to see these other states that
are free from this monster, look and
see where their sister states are that
have large cities in them and those
filled with foreigners, and turn and
help them, or in other words, make it
a national issue instead of state or
city; for this is larger evil to handle
than slavery and we have let it alone
so it will be as hard to kill soon.

Regarding the Democratic nominal
ton, little can be said at present. The
party is somewhat dazed still from.the
effects OF the last election. The only
hope of the Democracy is that times
will improve before 1915 and that they
will be able to convince the people that
they are responsible for them. In that
case candidates will spring up like
mushrooms. There has never been q
lack of leaders in the Democracy
when there was ghost of a chance of
winning.
The silver sentiment seems to be on
the wane. If it should continue to
subside, the contest of '96 will be be-
tween the old parties. The Popnlists
are in that chaotic condition which
prevents any forecast Of their candi-
date.

that the country is literally filed with
people who cannot eat and digest food

The America cup is in greater
danger this year than ever before.
The British have sent over a crack
yacht, Valkyrie H., which will GER
tainly give the Yankee boat, Defender,
a battle royal. The latter is better
craft than the Vigilant except in
staying qualities. She seems too ten
der. She has been crippled in three
races, though in all the others she has
led the Vigilant. The Valkyrie has
sailed only four races, but in one OF
these she beat the fast Britannia by
good margin, which shows that she is
a foeman worthy of our respect. The
British have never felt such confidence
as this year in their ability to win the
priced trophy of international yacht
ing. We shall see.

REVENUES INCREASING,
And n Prospect of Big Returns from
Income Tax Collectors.

And Prospect of Big Returns from
Income Tax Collectors.
WASHINGTON. Jan. A-An encouraging
report of the prospect for an increase of
the government revenues is given by Repre-
sentative McMilin, of Tennessee, as the re-
suit of long talk with Secretary Carlisle.
His statement is the first authentic infor
nation of the administrators view of the
outlook, and shows that the receipts from
the income tax will greatly exceed the esti-
mates made by the department. Mr.. McMil-
lin is chairman of the subcommittee of ways
and MEANS to which the bill to double the
tax on beer was referred, and he called
on the Secretary TO ask his opinion of the
necessity for such a law. When asked
about the bill he said:
Our committee has not yet acted on
the measure. / spent good portion of the
day in conference with Secretary Carlisle
and Commissioner of Internal Revenue Mill

slty FOR an increase of revenue. | would
not, or course, relate our conversation The
Secretary, l may say, however, is much
encourages by the increase Of revenue this
of revenue will continue a great
while. Commissioner Miller has had
an estimate made by the col
lectors of internal revenue as to the
number of persons and corporations who
will pay an income tax, from which it
seems there will be much more collected
than the department estimated when the
income tax under consideration. The
revenues are picking up. During this fiscal
year we have collected from internal rev.
enue sources eight millions more money
than during the corresponding period of last
year. The sugar tax has yielded but little
revenue yet, because of the large stocks
of free sugar on hand when the tariff law
went into effect. But from that source We
will from now receive heavy revenues.
I'm answer to your first question / would
say that l presume it will not be our
policy to impose any additional tax on any
article unless need additional revenue.
If we should need more it will be the part
of policy and wisdom to raise it by taxa
