REVENUE FROM SPIRITS.

The consumption of spirits in the United
States and in the United Kingdom does not
materially differ: one ranges a little less
than a gallon per head and the other lit
tie more than a gallon per head Nor is
there any material difference in the larger
consumption of Germany and France; but
in Belgium, where the alcoholic beverage is
gin, the consumption is about two gallons
of proof spirit per head, and the consump-
ton in Holland comes very close to that
figure. A difficulty may here be noted in
the fact that large proportion of alcohol
is used for chemical purposes. The esti-
mate of the German government is that
one-fifth of the total production of alcohol
is not used as a beverage, but this is not.
of course, included in their statistics of
consumption.
q. The use which these four principal
countries make of alcoholic beverages as
source of public revenue is of much in
terest. In the United Kingdom the net
revenue in 1886 was $44s 2sO,0 900, and of this
s159 055, 900. or 35 per cent, was in duties
and internal taxes on liquors. OF this
taxation II per cent only was in duties on
imports. The total net revenue of the
United States in 1896 was $323. .S0s, ,139, {and
the internal revenues and customs from
liquors amounted to sl2O. 30, ss4, or upward
of 81 per cent of the whole.
In France, on the other hand, the rev.
enues from liquors amount to slO2 100000.
| or 10 per cent of the entire government
irccme. In Germany the revenues from
alcoholic products is s57,s69,04o. or only 171a
per cent of the total income. If the Ger
man government should double the taxa
tion on alcoholic liquors it would not
amount to half the percentage of the
taxation by congress upon this ob3est. to
say nothing of the high liquor licenses of
many of the states and municipalities.

TnEAcHERY THEORY GRowING.

From the first announcements of the de-
struction OF the Maine. popular sentiment
in this country leaned heavily and appre-
hensively 10 The theory OF design rather
than accident. 1t was but natural, as 1t
was discreet, for the administration TO dis
credit the idea of treachery on the part Of
the Spaniards until there should be suf-
hcient evidence 10 prove practically the er-
ro- of this position. 1t is now evident,
however, that even in official circles the
probability of an adverse finding by the
court of inquiry was so obvious that every
consistent precaution against an untimefy
demonstration was taken. Quiet but ener-
gctic preparations were begun and have
since been kept up 10 meet any possible
emergency that may arise from the Havana
disaster.
While it is true that there is now little
probability that the explosion will be shown
TO have resulted from accident, the possi-
bility of such verdict is not lost sight of.
and the public may take il for granted that
there will be no hostile utterance or move
ment on the part of the administration until
The encouraging aspect of the situation
is the popular and official belief that, even
If it be shown that the Maine was de-
stroyed by design, the Spanish government
had no knowledge of, much less an active
part in, the diabolical work.
If this belief prove TO be well founded,
war will be neither necessary nor inevitable.
While Spain will be liable for indemnity.
the demand for such indemnity, under or
binary circumstances, would not form a
casus belli. But with the extraordinary con-
ditions that exist at present and the strain
ed relations between the two countries, 1t is
doubtful whether a peaceable adjustment of
so large and aggravating a claim could be
made.
While the situation is unauestionably
grave, II is reassuring to note the active
preparations that are being made for pos
siblc conflict, the superb poise Of. the. ad-
ministration.s and the: spontaneous and
hearty popular support that Is being given
the president and his cabinet. ~

LEEDY IN A GOOD CAUSE.

There have not been many times since
The Inauguration of Governor Leedy when
his official conduct commanded admiration.
Ordinarily he has used his office as
means for promoting either his own or his
party's intcrests-more often his own. lie
has done good deal of playing for popu-
lar applause, instead of acting in a
straightforward, busness-like way for the
states good. In other words, he has been

Eut. on the principle that the devil
should have his due, 1t is proper to give
Mr.. Lcedy credit for whatever good he has
done. One instance wherein he showed

SPANIsH-AMERICAN SOCIAL INTER-
COURSE.

The social intercourse between the Amer

variance with popular feeling i'll the two
countries. or at least with the reports of
public demonstration of such feeling.

Suicide and Life insurance.

From the Chicago Post
Lately the federal supreme court rem
dered an insurance decision which attracted
wide attention. as it dealt, for the first
time. with the important question of sui
cide as affecting the obligation of life in
surance companies. The court held that
where policy contains no provision re-
sardins suicide. no liability attaches in case
the insured has resorted to self-destruction.
and every cosent reasoning. upon which
We commented at the time. was advanced
in favor of that position. BY way of die
tum the court added that even Il distinct
agreement to pay in the event of suicide
would not be enforced by the courts, such
contracts being clearly against public pol
icy.
In view of this explicit decision. how
strange it is that the supreme court of
Pennsylvania should hold. as it does in Il
decision just made, that where Il life in
surance policy is silent as to suicide. it
will not for such act be avoided as against
the wife of the insured who is nominated
beneficiary" 1t clearly follows that where
policy is not silen: to suicide. but
agrees and promises 10 pay. the obligation
is beyond any doubt whatever in the judg-
ment of the court. These two conclusions
directly contradict the Judgment of tho
federal supreme court.
The Pennsylvania court intimates that
1t might have reached 4 different result
if the policy had been payable to the in
sured or his personal representative. Since
the policy in the case was for the benefit
of the wife and children of the insured.
his agency was at an end the moment the
policy was issued, and the benefciaries
were not bound. according to the courts
reasoning, by any acts of the insured COM
mitted thereafter unless such acts were
in clear violation of some express condi-
tion of the policy" Why express condi-
ton? Why not also implied condition? The
pennsylvania court cannot have considered
the federal courts point-which is unan-
swerable-that policy silent as to suicide
must be presumed to exclude all causes
of death that are not accidental or due
to the will of Cod Self-destruction by
the insured Except when insane) cannot
have been contemplated by the company
at the time the contract was made, for
insurance is based on statistical and sci
entitic data excluding the will of either of
the contracting parties. From this point
| of view there is manifestly no validity in
the distinction between policies naming the
| wife and children as beneticiaries and pol
| icies naming the personal representative OF
the insured

A New jag AntidOte.

From the indianapolis Journal.
A California doctor has invented system
that he calls "equisine inoculation.' which
he asserts will destroy the hereditary alco-
holic taint in children. A plaque containing
serum from properly alcoholized horse is
bound upon a scarified place on the child's
arm and kept there several days. during
which time it is supposed that enough Sc
rum is absobed into the system to destroy
any latent alcoholic tendency-on the prin-
ciple, presumably, that like cures like. The
non-scientific person reading Of these things
may or may not have opinions as to the
efficacy of such treatment, but the wonder
must arise aS to what will eventually be
the character of the blood of the person
who has had all the serums injected into
him that have yet been invented. to say
nothing of the others that are yet to be de-
veloped. 1t seems likely that the up-to-
date person of the twentieth century will
omit none of these scientific precautions
and will thus have immunity from all the
standard diseases; but will all the anti
alcoholic and anti-tuberculosis and anti
smallpox and yellow fever germs and all
the rest live in harmony together? If they
should see mt to wage war on each other,
will not the last condition of the one who
harbors them be worse than the first?

KANSAS CIrY,s CRYING NEED.

1t is hard to settle down to the conclu-
sion that Kansas City must worry along
for an indefinite number of years without
railroad lines interested in the old barn
which is at present advertising the fact
that this city Is without a station GER
tainly cannot be Indifferent to the urgent
needs of our people in this matter. Other
cities have been properly provided for and
there is no reason on Gods green earth
why Kansas City should be treated less
fairly. These companies are interested.
with all other companies whose lines touch
here, in the growth and progress and repu-
tation of Kansas City as a fiourIshing
Western metropolis. and they cannot but
share in our dissatisfaction and mortifi-
cation over what We have to put up with
in lieu of a decent station.
1t is true that building bigger and bet
ter station, on the present or some other
site. would require a good deal of labor and
some worry in the matter of adjusting ques-
tions of rights and damages among the
different companies, but the adjustments
could be satisfactorily made. They were
made at St. Louis, Chicago and other
cities and they could be made here. 1t
might be impossible for representatives of
the various roads to take up each question
and dispose of it to the satisfaction of all.
but some experienced engineer or other
person in whom all the companies had con-
fidence might be entrusted with the work.
This plan has been pursued in similar
cases elsewhere with good results and II
is probably the most feasible and practical
way TO do II.
This is question of so much interest
to our people that it will not down. We
must have a union station in keeping with
our rank as city at no distant day: II is
simply preposterous to suppose that VIC
can go on for another twenty years without
one. The sooner the railroads wake up to
their duty and the city's rights in this
matter the better it will be for all con.

stupidext of Them All.

From the New York Press.
The stupidest animals on the North Amer
lean continent are the free silver and DEM
ocratic conspirators against the United
States government. They are bowling abuse
on President Mckinley for not forcing US
to war with Spain because of politics. -
when it should be plain to every mind that
if politics had anything to do with the
case war policy would absolutely insure
an administration victory in the congress
elections of next November. If this coun-
try went to war the American people would
support the administration to the very emu.
A baby knows that. Why not a fool, then ?
Whenever there is cause for war we shall
have war. We do not pretend to say that
there will not be war. But the man who
accuses the administration of fearing war
because of politics" cannot see far enough
to sight rifle at a Spaniard who stands
on the end of his shadow.

What Is American Patriotism.

From the Chicago News
During the last eight days the true mean
ing of American patriotism has been lost
to a lot of blatant irresponsibles, saloon
keepers. jingoes and vicious foreigners, but
the real representatives of the people and
the people themselves have never budged an
inch from the right road Benjamin Har-
rison of Indiana, former president of the
United States, pointed out the road on
Washington's birthday in these words:
I'VE stand now in the awful shadow of
one of the most tragic events that has ever
with the poise, with the self-possession of
a people who understand their might and
cal abide the developments of time We
are not hysterical people, We can wait
and we will know our duty when it shall
be revealed. We can understand that in a
time like this there are grave responsible
tiles devolving upon the president of the
United States-single responsibilities that he
may not divide with any man. Let us stand
about him, Strengthening him in the calm
assurance that this great country desires
only what is right and can wait until the
facts are known before it issues its procla-
nation.
Another man who may be depended upon
to know what he is doing and saying during
every conscious moment is Cushman h
Davis. United States senator from Mime
sofa, distinguished scholar, learned jurist
and noted as the most brilliant man in the
Northwest. AS chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee Of the senate he never
strays from the right road. In an address
at Detroit on Tuesday he said
Let us take the advice of Captain Sigsbee
and suspend Judgment on the Maine disas-
ter. If then our dark forebodings are justi-
fed he assured President Mckinley and the
United States government will not be found
warting in any act which that dreadful
circumstance shall render necessary. Does
ANYBODY suppose that Mckinley the ex-
soldier: that our John Sherman, your own
General Aiger. John d. Long and the United
States senate and house lightly feel or
slishtingly put aside these great questions?
It's mighty easy for. one not having these
responsibilities to urge doing something
right away but impose these responsible
ties upon those who thus complain and they
would approve the present course of the
president of the United States.'
Messrs. Harrison and Davis do not agree
