THE TAX ON ALCOHOL.
Prccipitatcs A Lively Debate In
The senate.

Washington, Dec. ia spirited de-
bate was precipitated in the senate by
the submission by Mr.. Platt Of Con-
necticut of the report Of the special
Joint committee of the senate and
house Of representatives. appointed TO
investigate the use of alcohol in the
arts. 1t developed that wide di-

point of view of government revenue,
Of reducing the present tax upon alco-
hol used in the arts. Mr.. Hoar OF
Massachusetts. who favors such re-
duction. expressed the opinion that if
congress would lay aside political con-
sderations and deal with the liquor
question courageously and honestly by
the imposition of an additional tax Of
a dollar & barrel on beer the question
Of the government revenues would
take care of itself. Mr.. Vest of Mis-

The son Of Grover Cleveland is to
be congratulated that he was born too
late to be called the prince. That title
affixed to the name of a young man
means the grossest of abuse on the
part of the newspaper reporters. They
follow him wherever he goes. Let him
be wise and good fellow and they
grow humorous over him just the
same. Let hin, submit to interviews
and they misrepresent him. Let him
refuse to be interviewed and they in
suit him to his face and afterward in
print. He is a marked man, and NAL
ice follows him as naturally as his own
shadow. Let the little Grover thank
heaven that his father is too old ever
to be president again.

The annual report OF Paymaster-
General Edwin Stewart shows that
during the past fiscal year the cost OF
maintaining the ships Of the navy in
commission was sS,93S,549, and of
maintaining navy yards and stations
S3,568, $3.50. Repairs cost $1,773 ,203, and
the Marine Corps cost sS36,7l3. The
total cost of maintaining the navy
during the year was ST, 514.231, not in
Guiding increases of the navy and i'm
provements. The paymaster general
shows that, while there has been an
increase in expenditures for stores, the
purchases have been made with great
care and with regard to the actual
needs OF the service, and that there
has been a marked decrease in cost of
supplies, as well as great saving in
acquisitions, etc, as a result OF the
system pursued by the bureau. Gener-
al Stewart earnestly urges an increase
of the paymaster's corps by twenty,
and in support Of his request points
to the recent additions to the number
of ships in the navy, each requiring
its pay officer.

Equal to the Occasion.

Some time ago friend of mine got
curious present from sea captain.
1t was n fine specimen of the bird
which the sailors call the laughing
jackas, and he was not little proud
of il. AS he was carrying it home, he
met brawny Irish navy, who
stopped and asked him:
"phwat kind of a burrd is that,
sOrr:''
That's laughing jackass," ex-
planned my friend, genially.
The Irishman. thinking he was be-
ing made fun Of, was equal to the oc-
casion, and responded, with a twinkle
OF the eye:
IT'S not yersilf, it's the burrd OF
name, sorr."-Answers.

The London Times says: THE trade
of the Mexican republic is increasing
with considerable rapidity. Last year
the imports amounted to 1895, 547,
against f7,2t9,009, while the exports
were Eli, 750, 900, against FL ,250, 900 the
previous year. The increase in i'm
ports was spread over all staples, but
was chiefly marked in the case of iron
and steel and in machinery and nipple
ments. British imports were greater
I'm 1896 than in 1895, yet they only
amounted to II per cent Of the whole
import trade in 1896, while they were
10 per cent the year before. The i'm
ports from the United States, on the
other hand, were 52ls per cent Of the
import trade of Mexico. against As per
cent in 1895. This, our consul at Mex
leo observes, should warm British mer-
chants and manufacturers that unless
they soon make a serious effort they
will have to give up all hope OF profit
ing by the increase in the Mexican i'm
port trade, aud may even lose part OF
the very limited share of it they at
present enjoy The trade in textiles
generally, in which England has so far
held her own, becomes each year a
smaller proportion of the import trade,
owing to the improvement in domestic
manufactures; metals and machinery,
on the other hand, are every year
growing more important

Believing in the possibility OF recoV-
ering the iron contained in low-grade
ore, and so bringing vast tracts or
hitherto worthless magnetic into com

six years of time and nearly three
million dollars of his private fortune
to process which, according to the
Electrical Review, is now perfected
and will have tremendous effect up
on the iron industry of the world.
