REVENUE FROM LIQUOR.

The commissioner OF labor has com
pleted a report, which was ordered by
Congress two years ago, on "the
economic aspects of the liquor prob
lem"
In 1890 the total receipts of the
national, state and local governments
combined, postal service and schools
included, amounted to I,o4o million
dollars. In 1896 the liquor manu-
facture and traffic produced-the Gus
tom duties on imported liquors in.
cluded-IS3A million dollars. Thus
the liquor appetite is utilized to pay
one-sixth Of the aggregate government
tai expenses in the United States.
There was spent for educational pur-
poses in 1890 I43 million dollars,
The liquor revenues exceeded that
sum.
That revenue is divided between
the national and other governments
about as follows:
United States internal
revenue, SII4,45I 900
Custom duties, 5000, 900
State licenses, Io,47o, 900
County licenses, $500, 900
Municipal licenses, 34,67o, 900
Taxes on property en-
ployed in the manu-
facture and sale of
liquor, 1901 900
-
Total, SIS3z22,ooo
The general government gets the
lions share of the liquor revenue, and
it will receive an even larger percent
age this year, because Of the increase
in the beer tax, which will bring in
about thirty million dollars.

Mr.. Drewry is right. A depart
ment of insurance should be estab-
lished. There is need for it in the
protection that would thus be gifbn
the people and the increased revenues
that would be derived by the State.
The duties of such office should be
separated from those of the Secretary
of State, and competent persona
practical and thoroughly posted in
surance man put in charge-one who
could give the business his whole
time and attention. But of this more
hereafter. Henderson Gold Leaf.

A young man in Shreveport took
his girl out riding few Sundays
ago and she tumbled out of the
buggy. The young man never
missed her until he droyr up to the
young lady's mansion and stopped
to put her out. He drove back over
the road, found her and brought
her home This would never have
happened to a TeXarkaoa mat.

MR.. wILLElT STILL KICKING.
We Thought Him Dead, But Such
Is Not the Case.

Mr.. D. &. Willett, a railroad pro-
moter who lives up IN Kentucky,
has gotten it into his head that
Texarkana needs another railroad
aud be has made repeated offers to
furnish our city with one from
somewhere TO run into the terri
tory, provided we pay him the cold
cash in advance, before we get the
road.
Now, Sir. D. C. Willett may be
Sunday school superintendent for
all we know, and he may be fel
low who counts his beads and at
tend mass every morning and all
that, but his propositions to Texar-
kama thus far have smacked so
much of a one sided affair that We
do not propose to take him serious,
but treat his offers as piece Of
fun for it shows that he takes US
for a lot of tender babies and ready
to give up our money MS soon as We
hear the cabaIistic word of rail
road.
We are not ready, however, just
yet, to fall over each other to get
to him or his friend, Isaac Walker,
to give them a thousand dollars to
take a trip over a strip of land that
would only require few days OF
horseback riding
While we have SIX or eight rail
roads here pointing to the four
winds of the earth, we would not
oe adverse to taking another al
Mr.. Willetts price, but We don
want to pay out our money before
we know what we are to receive
When Mr.. WilIett makes a prop
osition to our citizens to give out
city another road-and that he
will have it finished and cars run
ming before he requires any bonus,
We will talk to him about it, but
until he makes up his mind to dc
this, we advise him to save his
stamps or else find a peop'e who
are more in need OF railroads than
we are.

put in their stead fabulous and ex-
quitite satin damask cloths. Nothing
is handsomer, and for those in mod
crate circumstances, who have all the
tastes and refinement of the richest,
you can promise yourself the pleas
ure of always having a snowy white
and glossy damasl1 table cloth and
napkins if you will pay especial at
tention to the laundering of it. If
not, your laundress may bring in
dingy, limpy looking cloth or ruin
your prettiest table linen. Never let
your laundress give a. gloss to table
linen by starching it. To produce a
finish and satiny polish ON damask, it
should first be washed quickly in tep-
id waiter with pearline dissolved in it
quickly, then thoroughly da1mpen t
again and then iron with a heavy
fiat-iron until it is absolutely dry. Ia
be cloths and napkins should never
leave the ironing board in a limp con-
dition. If they are at all moist they
will not only look dull and lusterless
in the beginning, but they will soon
lose the shape and trimness Without
which they get untidy and slovenly
looking.
All the elegant silver, sevres CHINA
cut-glass and hot house flowers will
not avail your table unless it first has
the perfectly Numbered table cloth
with it's lustrous polish, and the 81
lence cloth under it gives it finish
and softness necessary.
It's in the power of the homIe- ma
ler to refine humble home with ele-
giant table appointments such as the
cloth I speak of. It ATTRACTS and
