The most absurd, not to say gro
tesque, Inconsistency is The ruling OF
the internal revenue commissioners ms
70 who the law intended should pay
the revenue stamp tax Il is plain
that the law was istunded tn mako
the telegraph companies and the
transportation companies pay the tax.
The commissioners take this view so
far as the express receipts and bills 81
laoing are concerned, but as 10 tcle-
grams ho takes exactly the opposite
view. and rules that the sender Of n
dispatch, and not the company trans
mitting it, must pay for the stamp.
The purpose Of the law 10 tax the cor.

it is in the others, and this decision Of
the internal revenue commissioners is
es inoXplicable as it ia ridiculous.

Commodore Philip, commanding the

The Texas has been at Old Point Com

his burgee flew from the masthead of
the big armored icruiser. When the
New York sailed for Havana, however,
the commodore transferred his flag to
the Texas and above that ship it still
flies.
The United States armored cruiser
Brooklyn, Captain Cook, arrived at Old

ship, with the Texas, has been ordered
to Havana and it is expected she will
sail some time tomorrow after replen-
ishing her coal bunkers. This is the

tenant Jas. H. Hoskinson, adjutant of
the first battalion of the Fifteenth
Pennsylvania regiment, met a tragic
death on Clayton street. He was
thrown violently from his horse, his
head striking the hard ground with
great force. A large artery in the
brain was ruptured. Compression was
followed by paralysis and in two hours
he was dead.
Lieutenant Hoskinson was one of the
most popular young officers in the
Pennsylvania regiment. He was a son
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hoskinson, OF

1t will be recalled that last year at
Denver, Colorado, the citizens became
indignant and outraged and threatened
to hang the aldermen to convenient
lamp-posts. Not long since a fight in
Illinois between whites and blacks re-

the state, the governor declaring il they
