THE REV ENUE BILL.
How the Money Will Be Raised to
 Carry on the War.
The Sccre+nry os the Treasury to Be An thorixed fp E ise Loan of $5Oo,O0O,- 600 ny Popular suhseriotion-
 Ar.ielss That Hill ase Taxed

WAsHINGToN, April 1.-The repub- hcan mem oers of the ways and means committee of the house have practical ly completed the preparation of the revenue measure which will be passed to raise revenues sufficient to prosecute the war. The members propose that the present generation shall bear the burdens of the war and proceeding upon that theory they have prepared bill that will raise between S100, 000 GOO to $120,000, 900 additional revenue per annum. The bill will pro- vide for an additional tax of S1 per barrel upon beer from which $50, ,0O0 900 will be raised. On manufactured tobacco and snuff the revenue tax will be increased from six to 12 cents. This is expected to raise Si5.000,000 of revenue. The increase on cigars and cigarettes has not been absolutely fixed, but it probably will be S1 on all classes From this S. 000,- 900 is expected The proposition which the senate placed on the tariff bill. but which went out in con ference, to tax all stocks and transfers of corporations is embodied in the measure, together with practi- eally all the scheme of internal reve- nue taxation of the act of 1866, which includes a stamp tax on all checks, drafts and ali instruments of business mortgages, loans and bonds); a tax on patent and proprietary medi- cines and tax on telegraph mes sages and express packages is also incorporated in the bill. This scheme of taxation is estimated to raise S35. .000, 900. The tax on proprieta and patent medicines will be two cents on packages or bottles retailing at 25 cents or under, and four cents on those retailing above that price. The tax on telegraph messages will be one cent on all messages which cost 9 cents or less and two cents on all above Q cents duty of ten cents per pound is placed on ca and three cen ts per pound upon coffee, with a counter vailing internal revenue tax on stock on hand This latter will be in the form of a tax on the sales of stock on hand to avoid constitutional inhibi- tion against direct tax. From tea and coffee, Ses,00o, 000 are estimated
  liar to patent medicines.
 For the pressing needs of the govern ment the secretary of the treasury is given the general ioweral to issue cer- tifcates of indebtedness payable in one year and to bear not to exceea three per cent interest. The secretary of the treasury is also au thorized to bor- row on the creditof the government by pnpu lar subscription 2 loan of $500. n09- - 000 This loan is to ne placed through the post offices of the country, the sub treasuries and government deposito- ries in low rate bonds which are to be sold at par. They are to bear three per cent. and to be redeemable after five years at the option of the govern ment and to be due in 20 years. The principal and interest are to be pay able in coin. The measure will be presented to the full committee proba- hv Monday and it will ba brDnght into the mousse as soon as the war reso- lutions are signed by the president

She with the help of her eldest boys struggled on a poor rocky hillside farm, and by precept and example, educated and raised them all in honor and integrity, making all of them men calculated to win the respect and esteem of all who know them My personal acquaintance with her covers period of fifteen years. l loved her as sister. She was born in Tennes- see in 1859, died in Mena, February 25, 1868.

 Leaving us sadder day by day,

 No more to droop and wither,
 Blessed be her rest.

AROUND TOWN.

While Sunday was a tempting
day for trips into the country,
fewer cyclists were to be met on
the road on either side of town
than usual. The reason, no doubt.
was the painfully rough condition
of the roads.

jail MS the result of stealing cof-

There will be quite an excursion
to Newland creek tomorrow morn

water supply being obtained from
that source.

PAID HONOR TO
THE PATRIOTIC DEAD
Very General Observance of Me-
mortal Day In Florence
BLUE AND GRAY UNITED

Florence has not seen and il ia
most doubtful if she ever will see
more patriotic and appropriate
observance of Memorial day, than
yesterday. For the first time there
was general closing of stores and
offices, Only some fruit stands
and the saloons failed to close their
doors during the parade and the
services at the cemetery. So far
as could be learned, the only mer-
chant who did not remain closed
during the remainder of the day
was S. G. Kelso. He opened
for while but shut his store again
subsequently.
Everything was carried out ac-
cording to programme, as publish
ed in Saturdays Tribune, save
that the fraternal organizations
did not participate in the parade.
The Florence Rifles and the
Boys brigade contrasted with the
veterans who once fought on diff
ferent sides but, who marched in
amity together yesterday. The
white dresses of the several hun
dred school girls who followed the
band at the head of the procession
made a pretty picture. The child
rem carried small flags and many
of them had flowers as well. M
At the cemetery the Boys brig
ade firing squad paid military
honors to the dead, delegation Of
the school girls and the N Il. Cl
decorated the graves, and the Fed
eral and Confederate veterans
joined in the memorial service.
The Rev. Robert D. Graham made
a brief but appropriate address
and Col. Fitlgerrell, of the G.. A. R.
and DR.. Walters, an ex-Confed-
crate, respectively expressed their
qualification at the burial of old
strife and the final reunion.
There were few graves in the
cemetery that were not decorated,
as friends of those who sleep
there had attended earlier to that.
A very large number of people
were present during the ceremony
and over 200 vehicles and saddle
horses were ranged around the
fence.
The meeting at Union hall in
evening was also largely attended.
The stirring national and war
songs were sung, addresses made
and the day closed with general
feeling that it had been well spent.
