REVENUE
Statistics as to Collections for the Past
Nine Months.
Total Increase of Over n Million Over
the Corresponding Period Last Year
Income Tax Receipts.

The regular statement of the collections
of internal revenue for the nine months of
the present fiscal year ending June 30.
1880, was issued today. 1t shows that the
total collections from all sources were
$lG.S95O15. beirg an increase of $3.50. .163
over the total receipts during the CORE
spending period of the last fiscal year. The
increase was mainly from spirits and to-
bacco. There was decrease of s309,215 on
fermented liquors and decrease of s262,
1873 on oleomargarine.
The aggregate receipts for March, 1895,
were $3.g'0.355, less than those for March,
1894 there being decrease on all the prin-
cipal items. The decrease on spirits was
$2,9O5, ,O24; on tobacco, s145, 1864, and on fer
mented liquors, s1SG,115.
The Income Tax.
The total collections on account of the
income tax are stated at s2S.657T9. of
which $l9,SO2.19 came from persons, and
ss,So5.GO came from corporations. compa-
MES and associations. OF this amount
S16S39.63 was collected during the month
of March.
Commissioner Miller says that it is true
tnat his recent estimate of the revenue
from income tax for 1894 was based on the
returns of incomes made to the collectors,
but inasmuch as these returns were made
voluntarily and presumably do not over
state the income he regards it as fair
assumption that that much tax will be
paid. His view is that the people who
have complied with the law to the extent
of making returns of their income may
reasonably be expected to pay the tax, and
that the only difficulty in the matter will
be the collection of the tax from those
who have refused to make returns.
Estimate May BE Exceeded.
1t is also possible that many of the re-
turns already in may be increased on re-
vision, and that the commissioners esti-
mate of s14,OQ0OOO may be exceeded rather
than reduced. Strict economy will be ex-
ercised in the collection of the tax and
all expenses will be kept at minimum.

Every one knows how great part Mr..
Canning's wit played in making his anti
Jacobinism the delight of the whole ma
ton, says the London Spectator. 1t would
have been worth almost as much as a sue
cessful general election to any prime min
lister of the present day of rapid temper
ance legislation to have made Canning s
joke on the first Mr.. Withdrawals remark
that the day on which he spoke was one
particularly sacred to him for its memo
ries, since it was the day on which his
father died. wherein Mr.. Canning wrote
down and passed to one of his colleagues
the couplet:

quoted as the English form of Tallyrand;s
political maxim, "Surtout, point de zele,"
and how often has it not been favorably
contrasted with Mr.. Gladstone's super
heated political enthusiasm?
OF the mixture of Astounding playfulness
with Mr.. Gladstone's great earnestness
and eloquence, his followers are never
tired of giving evidence-as, for instance
when he drew on some unhappy man who
had quoted a passage from one of his
speeches. as evidence of Mr.. Gladstone
shameless change of principle, to admit,
after several days diligent search, that he
could not find the magnificent invective
against his present views which had been
read triumphantly to the House, and then
suggested amid great cheers and laugh
ter, that it would probably be found in a
peroration of one of Mr.. Whiteside's
speeches-that is, in a speech of the Irish
attorney general of one of the tory ad-
ministrations.
Mr.. Disraeli abounded in quaint COM

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1895-07-28

This is from the Washington Post: They
tell good story on party of excursion
lists who went on a persOnally-coTducted
tour to Mexico last winter. The party
was in charge of Charles Gates of Toledo,
o., but included prominent people from
other cities, among them being Phil Ar
mOur, the pork-packing prince of Chicago.
They travelled in a special train, which
stopped at all the interesting places en-
route long enough to give the excursion
lists ample time to see the sights, and some
times they saw some not down on the
bills. This story concerns one of them.
They stopped at a small town near the
Mexican from uer-name omitted, lest after
this tale is printed eXcursionists should
swarm to see it. While strolling along
a little stream half a dozen of the male
members of the party came across an in
closure with the legend: Bathing for la
dies-DO not look"
No more was necessary. They were out
to see the sights, and this Sign was sutti-
Client. The fence was not too high to
climb, and when a Greaser policeman hap
pened along that way he found six Staid
and supposedly respectable heads of
families hanging over that fence, gazing
with all the strength of their dozen
eyes.
Accordingly, he gathered them in and
escorted them down to the little adobe
jail, where they were locked up TO await
bail. AS the time for the train to depart
approached the wives of the six prisoners
began 20 look about for their worseT
halves. Then a Mexican official came to
the train and notified them of the trouble
Mr.. Gates, who had luckily stayed with
the train, at once went to the rescue.
First he interviewed the prisoners, and
then he went before the local alcalde Ia
plead for them. Luckily that official spoke
English and also enjoyed a joke.
These men are all American gentle
men," urged Mr.. Gates. Highly respect
ed citizens of some of our largest COM
munities."
"Well, they should not have looked over
the fence; they saw the sign"
Il am convinced that they did not see
the sign" insisted Mr.. Gates.
"Why?" inquired the alcalde.
Because there were half a dozen more
in the party, and If they had seen that
sign all would have been there"
Release the prisoners" said the al
calde, while his sides shook with laugh
ter
