The central dea underlying the grano
welcome to be given Admiral Dewey IN
Washington the first week in October is
it's national character His arrival at
the Capital will mark his real home
coming to the American people, where
the officials OF the Government Will
participate, and the magnihcentlY
ieweled sword voted by Congress will
be presented. To that end all the
arrangements will be OF simple but
dignlhed character The welcome to
the hero of Manila at the National Capital
will probably occur on Monday, October
2, although the date will depend upon
the length OF the cele bration IN New
York, which is still unsettled. The
principal features of the reception in
Washington, as planned by the citizens,
with cooperation of the President and
Cabinet, will be two in number-the
presentation ol the sword voted by
Congress and a night parade. A public
reception at the White House will be
followed by dinner to the Admiral by
President Mckinley. The word will
be presented by Secretary Long, at the
east front Of the Capitol, IN the presence
of Mr.. Mckinley and all the members OF
the Cabinet, late in the atternoon'l while
the parade, consisting OF organizations
of all kinds, will be accompanied by an

Samuel Dic,ie and John c. WoolleY
who some months ago became the
publishers @ the Chicago LeVe', have
now purchssed the Mev Voice, published
bv the Fplk & Wagnals Company OF
New Yort. The two papers have been
combined and are nov published at
Chicago The T0ice was for many years
the able national champion Of Prohibi'
ton reform
United with the Levsy, it has our best
wishes for its success as a business
venture. For the cause it champions, 1t
has not, because we do not believe that
its adoption would result Senehcially
for the people. With its wide circulation
and able management, the NeS0 T0tee
and LeOey IS bound to exert powerful
influence in its chosen field. We SHALL
we have no doubt, have occasion TO cross
swords with it, always. however we
hope, with the same consideration that
ever characterized our intercourse with

WAR TAX AND BEER CONSUMPTION.

WAR TAX AND BEER CoNsUMPTIoN.
According to figures published else
where in the Journal, the sales of malt
liquors in the United States during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1899, show a
falling off of 9Ia I92 barrels, compared
with the sales for the preceding fiscal
year. Intrinsically this showing is not
alarming; there have been years when
the comparative fallingo of in the annual
sales of malt liquors has been much
larger without exciting undue comment,
but the present decrease is notably seri-
GUS for the reason that it must be directly
ascribed to the oppressive course pur-
sued by The Government towards the
brew industry, the second largest
contributor to the Internal Revenue
receipts. When the additional war tax
of one dollar per barrel on malt liquors
was levied in July, 1898. we predicted
that it would inevitably lead to a de-
crease in the sales Of these beverages,
and tend, at the same time, to encour'
age the consumption of spirits, Figures
attest the truth OF our prediction; the
production ot malt liquors has fallen off
as above stated, while the consumption
Of spirits, which for reasons best known
to the administration and its closest
counsellor. we're left out oil the war tax
schedules, increased by upwards OF
seven per cent tt be precise, by $780,.
oI3 gallons. Hitherto, in years cl pros.
perity, sales of malt liquors have Invarl-
ably increased. TITS year, in spite OF
the hourishing condition of business
and the increased wages paid in nearly
every industry, they show a decrease;
the fact that the sales OF spirits show so
large an increase is proof positive that
the decline in the sales of beer is not due
to any abnormal tendency towards alb.
stemiousness on the part OF the consum-
ers. In all the European countries in
which prosperity reflects the intelligence
and liberalty Of the government, the
encouragement Of the consumption OF
malt liquors in place of ardent spirits is
one OF the legislative objects that re-
ceives careful consideration. Russia
alone OF late, among the great nations,
has by the imposition of an oppressive
tax on brewers materials, shown ten
dency towards retrogressiOn in this re.
spect, and in this fragrant violation OF
one Of the great principles on which the
promotion OF habits of temperance as a
nation are founded, the vaunted exem-
plifcaton of liberal, enlightened gov.
ernment, our United States, stands side
by side with Russia Brewers /0HyHaL
Washington sentinel., 1899-09-09

The brewers must pay the war tax
imposed upon them instead of levYing
1t on their customers, according to a
decision given by Justice Thomas c,
Kadleu, in the Municipal Court OF ia
maica. The William Ulmer Brewing
Company brought SUIT against Conrad
Ewad. hotel keeper of Jamaica, for
$50, alleged to be due for beer, The
defendant proved that he was charged
bv the brewery the price Of the revenue
stamps, and that he had paid such extra
charges until he learned that he was not
obliged to do so. Ewald said that he
was willing to pay the Ulmer Brewing
Company SIS, so. which, he said, was his
legitimate debt to them, but that the
company insisted upon him paying the
war tax on each keg Of beer he pur.
chased from them. Iuoge Kadieu held
that in the absence of a contract, Ewald
was not obliged to pay the tax, and that
because he had paid the tax for more
than five or six months, it did not follow
that he was liable in the true sense OF
the law.

INFORMATION FOR BREW ERS
AND OTHERS.
Malt Extracts.

DR.. R. ~ Harper, president Of the
Pharmaceutical Association OF the Dis
trict, recently requested the health
officer to furnish him with an analysis
Of the various malt extracts on the
market, so that the members OF the
association might know which, If any,
OF the various makes will be prohibited
from sale by the retail druggists under
the pharmacy license. At the health
officers suggestion, the Commissioners
referred the matter to the attorney for
the District, for a statement of the per
centage of alcohol which may be permit
ted in malt extracts sold By druggists.
The Commissioners legal adviser has
informed them that the inquiry of the
health officer is answered by Justice
Brewer, now Of the United States Sup
RENE Court. in delivering the opinion OF
the Supreme Court of the State Of
Kansas IN the Intoxicating Liquor
Cases." IS Kans., s24. In that case
Justice Brewer, speaking for the court
said:
whether any particular compound
or preparation OF this class IS then with
in or without the statute is question OF
fact, to be established by the testimony
and determined by jury. The courts
may not say, as matter OF law, that the
presence of a certain per cent of alco-
hol brings the compound within the
prohibition, or that any particular IN
gredient does or does not destroy the
intoxicating influence of the alcohol, or
prevent il from ever becoming an intox-
Icating beverage. OF course, the larger
the per cent of alcohol and the more
potent the other ingredients, the more
probable does 1t fall within or without
the statute; but in each case the ques'
tion is one Of fact, and to be settled as
other questions of fact"
The act OF Congress regulating the
sale of Intoxicating liquors in the Dis
trict, approved March 3, 1898, explains
the attorney for the District, provides
THAT no person shall sell, offer Tor sale
or keep for sale or traffic, or traffic in,
barter or exchange for goods IN the
District of Columbia, any intoxicating
liquor except as hereinafter provided"
etc. The act of Congress, states the
attorney, is silent on the subject upon
which the health officers inquiry is
based, and contains no definition Of the
term, Intoxicating liquor"
"According to the authorities" says
the attorney, "intc xicating liquors are
such liquors as will intoxicate OF make
drunk, and which are commonly used
as "A beverage for such purposes,
whether they be splrituous, vinous or
malt, distilled or iermented. ANY
mixture OF such liquors which retains
the Intoxicating qualities, and which
may be used as a beverage and become
a substitute for the ordinary Intoxicating
drinks, is usually classed under the head
of intoxicating liquors"

FOR DEWEY And LEE

New York, Dec. 3l.-A Louis
Vile special to the Herald says:
Henry Watterson will have a
characteristic editorial in the
Courier Journal tomorrow for a
New Years greeting. 10 it he
dominates Dewey and Lee for the
Presidential ticket in 1900 as the
last hope of the Democratic party.
After the review of the 1896 cam
paign and a reiteration Of his
statement that free silver is as
dead as African slavery Mr.. Wat
terson saysl "Voters have about
made up their minds that party
pledges are made chiefly to be
broken. Democrats banking on
this circumstance should put up a
ticket without a platform. Let
them nominate candidates for
President and Vice President,
men who are a platform in them
selves, and if they can induce the
great admiral and the gallant
general to accept here is card to
win: For President, George
Dewey Of Vernon; for Vice Pre-
sident, Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia.
Platform, Stars and Stripes.
The bloody shirt having serv .
ed its turn has gone to the old
clothes basket. The President
knows his business. At the op-
perfume moment we shall see
William Mckinney and Joseph
Wheeler marched down to the
footlights hand in hand, the flag
above them, and beneath them,
emblszoned on a strip Of red, white
and blue, the land we love from
end to end, or words to that effect,
and then what are the Democrats
going to do about it u How are
they going to meet 1t ? Their only
hope is for a new shuttle, cut and
deal of the political pasteboards.
There must be no quibbling
about constitutional technicalities
where the right Of the Government
to acquire territory is involved,
but constituting it as a heaven sent
responsibility they must take the
ground that this territory shall be
governed only upon democratic
principles looking to one of two
ultimate conclusions - either an
nexatiop as States of the Union or
independent republics under Am
erican protection"
