Worth the Attempt.

There would be no disguise about the
blessing Republican tariff measure
allowed to become a law at this session
of Congress would be to the country
But it seems almost too much to hope
for. Moreover, in order to frame a
measure that Grover Cleveland would
allow to become law, enamored as he
is OF his beautiful deficit Surplus" it
would probably be necessary to sacri-
flee Republican tariff principles to at
least some degree, Notwithstanding he
permitted the bill of "perfldy and dis
honor" to become law. And before it
could reach him it would have to run
the hostile guantlet of the Senate in
short order. disappointing in both
branches some of those who are sur
charged with tariff eloquence. 1t is
worth the attempt, though. and would
place the responsibility for delay in bust
ness revival where it belongs. and if
met with failure in this Congress the
next might to able to make more speedy
and comprehensive work of it than
otherwise.

1t is very we'll known that a sure

thinks he knows it all is to place him
in a position where a fair amount of

Something of that sort is likely to
happen in the state of Washington
where the Populistic "reformers' and
Economists think they have come into
the inheritance of the spoils. 1t is said
of them that "in the worst days of
Tammany the 'spoils' system never had
such frank, unblushing and persistent
advocates as appear among these re
formers" Every voter who con-
tributed to the Populistic success con-
siders himself eligible to any Office from
a janitorship to a judgship and the
political pie counter, metaphorically
speaking, sways under the persistent
and hungry assaults of the very men

clamor for new offices enough to go

Questions Concerning Rebate Of Alcohol Tax.

Questions about features of the law
relating to the taxation of alcohol used
in the arts and manufactures have al
ready evinced symptoms of longevity.
Whereas the committee of conference
In Congress may be able to arrive at
some conclusion respecting the amend
ments proposed for the measure the
courts will not be likely to dispose
readily Of all the legal complications
that have arisen in consequence of the
different interpretations Of the law.
Between eleven and twelve hundred
claims for rebate of the tax upon alco-
hol used in manufactures and arts have
been filed and test case is soon to be
tried. 1t is said these claims aggre-
gate more than $5.OO0,0OO and there are
more to follow, indeed it is estimated
that more than 10000 persons and $12,-
100000 are involved.
There were good many questions
raised at the time this feature of the
Wilson bill was under discussion and
IN some respects a true definition does
not appear to have been arrived at.
Notwithstanding the congressional
committee having the matter under adj
visemcnt has had sittings during tho

summer. Other countries that tax al
cohol in the form Of intoxicating drinks
do not impose that burden upon those
using it in the arts and manufactures.
It would seem that this country ought
to be as successful in drawing a line
that shall separate under that law the
manufacture OF hats from the manu-
facture Of cocktails.
The question pending before the
court, however. is of different nature.
The law provided for rebate of tax
upon alcohol used, as specified, but the
secretary of the treasury declared that
he had no force to put the provisions of
the law into force. If there had been ade-
quate revenue he undoubtedly would
have found a way in which to carry
out the law but he didn't want to miss
the pretty revenue which would have
been abolished if the law had been en-
forced. Consequently there is entailed
to succeeding administrations lawsuits
and claims that will not be a mere bag
atelle if the court shall decide that they
are legal, and will go part way to re-
ducing the famous Cleveland surplus"
The claimant insists that the law
having granted an absolute right to re-
ceive from the treasury rebate Of the
taxa right which regulations may be
prescribed to carry out. but not to de-
feat-the party is entitled to come into
the court, after having done everything
in his power to entitle himself to the
benefits of the act. and to claim judg-
ment notwithstanding the refusal Of
the officers of the government to per-
form their part. and that to admit the
contrary would be to substitute the
arbitrary will of the secretary of the
treasury for an impartial execution of
the plain meaning of Congress. Surely
the claim is plausible one.
