Mrs. Dewey is not only ambitious, she is
plucky. says the Washington letter of the
Chicago Times Herald. She knows how
to fight for her rights. Some time ago
Senator Depew gave a dinner Two or
three cabinet members and several sena-
tors were present, with their wives. So
were Admiral and Mrs. Dewey. But the
latter was not placed where she thought
she should be, and she proceeded 90 make
her displeasure known, 10 stand up for
her rights" American-like. She did not
have any appetite for dinner. She did not
care 10 join in the conversation
When the men went out TO smoke Mrs
Dewey left the other women and went
into a room by herself tll the Admiral
had had time 10 half finish a cigar. Then
she went after him and insisted upon go
ing home.
IF we can't be first in this house we
can he the first to leave it," she eXclaim-
ed, and asserting her rank by being the
first guest TO say goodnight, she carried
abe Admiral away.

r. NJ Scruggs is fond of a good story,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, and
this is one he tells when bargain counters
are referred to:
There was a young man who was in
hard luck. and had spent all his money
down to the last dollar, and more than
that. he owed his washerwoman 49, and
was eating his meals with his friends
and sleeping in their beds. That is my
last dollar he said tragcally, and I cant
give that to my washerwOman. She
wouldn't expect me to do that. She will
have to wait until l earn more and then
he left the house and presently returned
with such n bright countenance that his
host thought that he had secured a posi-
ton
See what I got he said, putting his
hand in his pocket and drawing out a
brand new pocketboOk
" Where did you get it?'
Downtown; isn't it a beauty? Worth
81; every bit of it. and I got it for 30 cents
What are you going to do with it?'
asked his friend sarcastcally, and for a
moment the INDECENT one looked surprised
and then indignant.
- DO you think that because I have no
money now to put into it 1 never viii
have? l bought this pocketbook at bar
gain, saving no less than $1.10 and when
I get money I will have a place to put it

REVENUE REDUCTION DEMANDED.

The announcement of the Secretary Of
the Treasury a few days ago that there
would be a surplus of revenue for the
year ending June 80 next, amounting 20
$40 0OO and that the surplus for the
following year would amount 70 $S5'OoO'-
COO has brought a tremendous pressure
on Congress for a reduction of the war
taxes. II would hardly be advisable of
course to make greater reduction than
$50, 600 900 a year at this time and If II
should be decided TO make a reduction of
that amount Congress would hardly know
what taxes to take off first. The brewers
are pressing for a reduction, and so are
the manufacturers of proprietary medi-
cines. It is probable, however that it
would be easier 90 secure the repeal of
the taxes on bonds. bank checks, tele-
graph messages and other documents
used in the daily transaction of business
than any other Of the war taxes. The
manufacturers of proprietary medicines
are to have a hearing before the Ways
and Means Committee some time next
week. The tax bears pretty hard on
them, because they have not been able
to increase prices. In the last nine
months it has amounted 10 50, 400 900. This
has come out of the medicine mems
profits, which are no larger than they
We're before the tax was levied.
We have pointed out several times that
there is a strong disposition among the
Republicans al this time not to attempt
any reduction of the war taxes, for the
reason that they would be certain 10
make crop of enemies for their party.
That they do not want to do on the eve
of a presidential campaign.
1t is noticeable that some of the Repub-
lcan papers are saying that the law re-
quiring $50 900 a year TO be paid into
the sinking fund has not been complied
with for number of years They claim
that there is more than $500, 100000 due that
fund now, and that if the law were com
piled with there would be such a small
surplus that there would be no reason for
reducing the revenue. There would in
fact be only about 800, OOO, 900 this year and
$25, 100000 next year. 1t would not be
surprising if the sinking fund law would
be offered by the Republicans as an ex-
cuse for not attempting TO reduce taxes
until after the presidential election. 1t is
certain that they will not take up serious
ly the question of reducing the revenue
if they can avoid doing so without expos
ing their party to criticism that would
likely damage its chance for success in
the presidential campaign.

A REMARKABLE CONDITION OF Az
FAIRS.

Philadelphia is one of the great manu-
featuring cities Of the country. 1t seuds
an immense amount of merchandise TO
every part of the world. 1t has The great
est shipbuldiug plant in this country and
has a splendid harbor. but it has compare
lively little shipping. 1t had more ships a
its wharves fifty years ago than it has
now. The Philadelphia Inquirer. speaking
of the city's lack of shipping, says:
1T is strange indeed, that with this
magnificent river and these splendid piers
the bulk of our manufactured goods
should be sent to New York and Baltimore
for shipment. We manufacture every
thing that the world needs. We send our
products all over the world. We even in
wade England with our rails, and our LEGO.
motives. and our electric appliances. ana
yet most of our goods go elsewhere for ex-
port. We have a large trade with the
Southern states, and there is no good rea-
son why we should not have Philadelphia
owned lines of steamships running South.
The river runs south. therefore no time is
lost in coming to Philadelphia or in ship
ping from here. Our money goes into
mills, but it does not go into steamships.
We pay to New York and Baltimore
thousands of dollars in freight money
which should be retained right here"
The foregoing is all true. 1t does seem
remarkable that Philadelphia is unable 10
support steamship lines. 1t has not been
so very long since Savannah had a line of
steamships to Philadelphia II is stated
that il did not pay. The line was
abandoned some time ago. And yet Phil
adelphia has a large trade with this s, G.
ton of the South. The Philadelphia pa
pers are urging the merchants of chat city

HALF-CENT COINS.

A bill has been prepared for introduction
into Congress calling into existence the
fve-mil, or half-cent, copper coin.
Should ii become law it would mark a
triumph for the bargain counter and the
feminine penchant for driving sharp
trades at the shop Numerous petitions
have been received at Washington in
favor of the half-cent. The petitions
have come from the large cities where
there are great department stores, and
where the competition has become so
sharp that half-cent prices are often re-
sponsible for large sales. SO great has
grown the demand for the half-cent that
some of the Chicago stores have issued
such coins of their own, redeemable at
their places of business in merchandise.
Under the law such an issue is not lille
gal but if the coins purported to be re-
deemable in currency they would be I'M
lawful, and would be suppressed by the
government. Director of the Mint Rob-
erts is said to be favorably disposed to-
wards the proposed new coin.
Under present conditions. owing to the
lack of heif-cents in the circulating medi-
UNI, the purchaser of an article advor-
tiscd at. say 121s cents. must buy
two. four or more units to get the ben
eft of the fractional figure. If only one
is bought, thirteen cents must be paid,
and so on. The dealer never takes off the
half-cent in such cases; the loss falls
upon the purchaser. That is the strong
argument that is to be brought to bear
cent piece would give full play to the
half-cent bargain prices, and permit the
consumers to get the full benefit of them
without being obliged to purchase two or
more articles of the same kind when
only one was needed.
The suggestion of the half-cent coin
will be apt to call forth a good deal of
ridicule from some quarters. 1t will he
said that it is too small 20 bother with
The same objection was formerly made
to the copper cent. 1t has not been n
great while since the cent piece was re-
garded as a nuisance. Within ten years
in the city of Savannah many men would
not wait for change under five cents, and
there were some of them who, when they
found pennies in their pockets. would flip
them into the gutter in order TO be rid
of them. But when the street car war
came along and an object lesson was
given of the value and use of the insig-
nificant little bronze pieces. people quit
throwing them away, and they became
quite respectable members of the coin
family. And so it would probably prove
with half-cent pieces. Some forty-five
years ago, as a matter of fact, half-cent
pieces were in circulation, nearly 5000. 90
of them being coined up TO the year 1851,
when the coinage of them was discontin-
ued. But there were no department stores
and bargain counters in those days as
we have them now, to create demand
for very small change. with their cut
prices.
