Express Companies War Tax

Referring to the vexed question of the
liability of express companies to pay the
stamp tax on their receipts and bills of
lading, the Chicago Chronicle says as fol-
lows:
Nothing could have been clearer than the
language of the revenue act. 1t requires ex-
press companies and other carriers to fur
nish bills of lading, and adds: "And there
shall be attached to said bills Of lading,
manifests or other memoranda, and to each
duplicate thereof, a stamp of the value of
cent" 1t Is as clearly the duty of the ex-
press company to pay for the stamp as 1t Is
to furnish the bill of lading. 1t is not a
lawful bill of lading unless it bears a can
celed stamp, which the express company
must provide.
There is similar dispute between the
manufacturers or wholesalers Of proprie-
tary articles and patent medicines and the
retailers. The proprietors and manufacture
ers want to "shove the tax along" making
the retailer and finally the purchaser pay 1t.
The brewers seem to- have been successful
In shifting their tax to the saloons. and the
saloons shift it on to the consumer by put
ting less beer and more foam In his glass.
IT was the evident intent of the law that
the burden of the tax should be equitably
distributed among all classes-each class
bearing its just share. 1t was not the intent
that the tax should be "shoved along" from
one to another and finally paid by the last
purchaser for his own use and consump-
ton. The carrier, the proprietor. the manu-
facturer. should each carry an equal share
Of the load and not transfer IT to other
shoulders.
The fact is that Republican protective tar
III legislation has so long burdeped our peo-
ple-not for revenue, but to increase the
profits Of monopoly that they have be-
come accustomed to the rascally system by
which the tax is continually shifted along
down the line from the manufacturer to the
consumer. When revenue tax act came in
force 1t was natural that the same DISPOSE
ton to Shove the tax along" to make the
next man pay 1t should be displayed.

Banking in Dawson

Three officials Of the Bank of British
North America arrived at Dawson, Alaska,
on May 18th. for the purpose Of starting a
bank at that extreme outpost of civilization.
The bank was opened for business on May
18th and the convenience and facilities which
such an institution could afford have been
fully appreciated by the miners and others,
as the amount of business transacted since
abundantly shows. Pending the erection of
a log building for the bank, business has
been conducted in a tent.

Differences Between Trustees as
to the Course to Be
Pursued,
But No Difference as to the Fact
Of the Insolvency of the
Company.
Only a Small Portion Of Interest
on Bonds Has Been Paid
Since 1896.

M1LwAUKEE, Aug. l.-Receivership
proceedings have been instituted
against the Wisconsin Central railroad
company, the solvent interest, thus
far, of the Wisconsin Central lines, in
the United States court.
The proceeding is the direct result Of
the existing differences between the
trustees, Edwin H. Abbot and John A.
Stewart. There is no difference, how.
ever, as to the insolvency of the com.
pany, the dispute being as to the
method to be pursued. Mr.. Abbot
wished to have it brought in under the
original proceeding against the Wiscon.
sin Central company and he protested
strongly, but Judge Seaman finally
concluded to allow the bill to be filed.
and requiring the parties to show
cause before Judge jenkins in Septem.
Der, why receivers should not be ap.
pointed. The bill presents the bond
issue of July /, 1871, under which there
is now outstanding s3,675,00O Of the
first series, and IS. l34, 500 of the sec.
ond series. The first securities
draw interest at D pei cent, the Sec
ond bearing interest at a rate no,
exceeding Z per cent, and pay.
able only out Of the net earnings
after the interest Of the first series ha:
been paid, and after the sum Of $780,
900 per annum has been set aside fo1
permanent repairs. The interest or
$l,469, 500 has been paid regularly from
time to time, but default has existed
upon first series bonds amounting t,
81, 2O5, 500 since July /, 1896, and n,
interest has yer been paid upon tn,
second series. The prayer bill assert
that Mr.. Abbot was asked to join ir
the suit, but he refused. The prayel
asks for the appointment Of Howard

A MONTE CARLO TRAGEDY,

An Incident Which Made Bismarck an
Invete-ate Enemy to Gambling.
Prince Bismarck has long been an IN
veterate enemy to the wholesale system
Of gambling, which is preserved, as
1t were, at Monte Carlo and similar es-
Establishments on the continent.
His antipathy is due to a tragedy
which was enacted under his very eyes
at Baden Baden more than 80 years
ago. During the season at that place,
which vas Of more than average bril-
liancy, he would himself 60 into one Of
the gambling saloons, which was fire.
luented by the highest aristOcracy and
the members Of the diplomatic corps.
Although he played little he would &C.
~5asionally venture small sums If he
won, he would venture his original
stake again and again, but if he lost at
the first coup he retired from the table.
One day while Bismarck was stand
ing at a table a young man and a beau
tiful woman came in. He was a baron
and had only recently married and was
On his wedding trip with bis bride. The
man began to play. AT first fortune IA
vored him, and he won.
Then his luck turned. He began to
lose. With each loss he became more
desperate. The beautiful woman by his
side vainly strove to tear him away.
The fever Of gambling had taken hold
Of his brain. The more the woman be-.
sought the more the man ventured.
Hundreds Of francs grew into thousands,
and thousands after thousands were
raked in by the croupier.
The whole table was watching this
fighter with fortune, and among them
no one was more intent than Bismarck
himself.
At last the gambler put a larger stake
than ever On the table, and again be
lost.
He rose and whispered a word to his
wife, and they left the room together.
Nobody in a gambling saloon needs
the ruined man, and the game went on
as before, less feverishly perhaps and
without such large stakes.
Suddenly, without a moments warn.
ing, the report Of a pistol rang through
the room. Some people hurried out.
There on the ground lay the body Of
the ruined man, a bullet wound in his
head, from which a thin stream Of blood
was flowing. By the side of the body,
distracted, almost turned to stone by
the horrible situation, stood the beauti-
full young wife, now a widow.
Suddenly her restrained feelings over
came her, ard with che wild shrek she
fell by the side Of the dead man. Bis
marck was one Of the onlookers who
had seen the result Of the fearful TRACE
dy.
"This horrible business must STOP"
he exclaimed.
1t did stop. In the course Of a few
years every public gambling house in
Germany was abolished. - Persons

There are tens of thousands of men who
