AT THE STAND OF THE TIDE.

Barred rocks; gray sea; gray sky;
And stiffness far and wide.
No cleaning SAIL no snOw-winged
gull;
No glad returning tide
Is this the same fair shore
Where / SO often see
The splendid waves display their
crests
Like crowns of victory?
The same wide sea, at morn
Too FURNISHED to behold,
Or strewn with sunsets argosy
Or ruby, sard and gold?
So still! Not even stroke
OF far-receding oar;
Only the gray mist stealing in,
And settling more and more.
Not even the lapsing sound
That l am wont to hear
Against the lonely kelp-hung ledge,
Or the gray sands more neari
Only the gathering night,
The lost horizons rim;
Only sense of solitude,
Mysterious and dim.
Hush! Was that sound
Along the sad seas verge?
Not like the signing of the wind,
But one faint, swelling surge.
Hush! Yet again it comes.
Was it for this I yearned?
Darkness-but darkness strangely
stirred
Tie wondrous tide has turned

meant simply that the rich could not
be taxed. He believed that decision
was the most serious blow at the
sovereignty of the people since the
government was erected Before Mr.
Teller had concluded his speech the
bill was laid aside that the senate
might pronounce eulogies upon the
late Senator Edward C. Walthall of
Mississippi. While the special order
was pending a bill was reported by
Mr.. Sewell providing for the employ
ment of retired army officers during

Pottawattamie and Kickapoo Indians
in Kansas and d bill amending the
law for times and places of holding
terms Of United States courts in
Idaho and Wyoming were also passed
by the senate. The bill carries a
paragraph inserted by the senate pro-
viding that temporary appointments
Of clerks may be made without civi
service examinations. Mr.. Cannon
said the temporary character of the
apr ointments and the urgent neces-
sity for them made the provision
wise. The house concurred in the
senate amendments to the bill. The
senate amendments to the bill grant
ing additional powers to railroad

The house then went into committee
of the whole to consider the bill to
amend the internal revenue laws
relating to distilled spirits An
amendment offered by Mr. Dingley
was adopted declaring that any
spirits exported and subsequently i'm
ported should pay the same interna
tax that it would have been required
to pay at the time of importation had
it not been exported. 1t was in
tended, Mr.. Dingley explained, to pre-
vent the export of spirits Tor bond
ing purposes, to which reference ha
been made in the debate. Pendin
the roll call the house adjourned.

Washington, May 24.-That feature

Washington, May 26.-The war
revenue measure was debated in the
senate. Mr.. White of California be-
gan an extended speech covering pretty
fully the general features Of the bill.
especially those relating to the tax on
corporations and ON inheritances. Mr..
White regarded 1t as unfortunate
that so heavy a tax should have
been placed upon tobacco because by
some it was considered a luxury. H
maintained that the placing by tn
house of representatives of one-third
of the tax to be raised upon beer,
one-third upon tobacco and one-thir
upon stamps was severe, if not al
most unjustifable. Mr.. White de-
nounced the stamp tax as burden
from which all would be glad to es-
cape. 1t was a nuisance and par
excellence tax upon the plain people
of the Hnd. Concerning the inheri
lance tax Mr.. White maintained that
notwithstanding the objections urged
against it by reason of it's being an
invasion of the prerogatives of the
states, it was perfectly justifable
and he expressed the hope and belief
that the courts would sustain the &C.
ton of congress in enacting the pro-
position into national law. Mr. White
then entered upon a long discus
sion Of the proposed corporation tax,
which he earnestly supported. In con-
clusion, he appealed to the senator
to permit the bill to pass in such
form as would distribute with reason
BILE equity the burdens it imposed and
to lay taxation that would be fair
to the American people and would
reflect honor upon the senate. Mr.
Teller followed. He asserted that tn
bond feature of the bill was in no
wise cognate to d revenue measure,
and declared it was merely attached
for the purpose Of taking advantage
Of the war exigency to secure author
ity for bond issue. The proceeding
was without precedent in the his
tory Of our country. Mr.. Teller said
he did not believe there should be a
line drawn between state and ma
tional taxation. II this line was to
be drawn the states might render
it impossible to conduct a great war
AS for himself, he would not only tax
corporations, but he would also in
clude producing individuals. He
would not put tax upon the poor,
he would put it upon the rich. He
would put a tax on salaries, as well
upon those Of senators as uron
others. But, he said, the taxing
power was greatly curtai1ed by the
decision of the supreme court in the
income tax case. With the greatest
respect for that body, he said, he
maintained that the courts decision
carried to its logical conclusion

The principal speeches were delivered
by Messrs. Platt (rep., Conn., and
Lindsay (dem., KY, both of whom
vigorously attacked the corporation
tax on the ground that it was uncon-
stitutional because the tax was not
levied alike. No definite action was
taken on the bill.
Washington, May 24.-The session
of the house was brief. Several bills
were passed, notably those for the or

note of delay against the measure

there was no emergency which re-

bill, and frankly announced that if
certain provisions suggested by the
democrats of the finance committee
were not agreed to by the senate, he
would offer some amendments to the
measure that probably would precipi-
tate a debate. Mr.. Allison desired
it to be understood that it was no
part of his purpose to prevent a full
and free discussion of the bill, but he
thought the measure ought to be dis
posed of as soon as possible. He
gave notice that he would endeavcr
hereafter to secure longer sessions Of
OF the senate. Mr.. White (dem.,

would be easily possible for congress

WHIsKEY SIXTY YEARS AGO.
An Interesting Talk About Customs of the
Early DAYS

An Interesting Talk About Customs of the
Early DAYS.
In Mr.. Asa Haynes article recently h g
makes reference to custom of forcing
the school teachers to treat on whiskey
on the closing day of school in the early
days of this century This has brought
to me reflections concerning the general
use of spirits at that time. Everybody
had as much whiskey then as they want
ed, for great many people made it, and
everyone was permitted to sell and traffic
in it. There was no law against making
and selling. The government had moth
ing to do with it. 1t was all homemade
and so cheap that people cared but very
little about it. Some few old men would
sometimes get little tight, but thew
never wanted to cut, shoot and kill peo-
pie as they do now when drunk-thev
hadn't learned to put the fighting stuff
in it, then. People had large orchards.
and those who had no way of distilling
got their fruit distilled on shares. The
best people of the country did this and
some of them took their drains as regu
larly as they did their meals, aud never
got under the influence Of it either. The
people or the whiskey was very different
from n low. Boys were taught at home the
evil effects of intemp and while
every boy was allowed to drink moder-
ately at home they were not permitted
to drink when they went to public gath
erjngs. Young men thought too much
of their character to abuse it by drunk
enness. I was 25 years old before / ever
went into grog shop or bought dram,
and if had never been in one would
have been no worse off. am near 70
years old and was never drunk.
Then laws were enacted regulating the
traffic and dealers had to pay license To
sell less than one gallon. A revenue
ak was imposed on the manufacture
and sale. After this it became common
to see young meu under the influence of
whiskey, having lost the high regard
they had for character. 4 .. G. in Bow
