HANECy'S CIVIL SERVICE Talk.

Judge Hanecy's speech ut his Thirty
second Ward meeting was not the first
time he has declared his opposition to
the civil service law. About II year
ago. when the Hamilton Club gave u
dinner for Hope Reed Cody. Judge
Hanecy was one of the speakers, and
said n number OF things which grated
on the ears of the friends OF the law.
Judge Hanecy's speech was II satirical
one, In which the law ana Its support
ers were held up to ridiculc.
Judge Hanecy unwittingly paid trlb-
ute to Judge Carriers standing when
he made the point that with II man like
him In charge no civil service law was
necessary, as he could be depended on
to make good appointments, while II
bad man at the head of the government
would render any civil service law In

Judge Hanecy started out on q still

argued rightly, the more noise about

THE BEER TAX SHOULD BE
TAKEN OFF.

Rudolph Brand, Of Chicago, Presi.
dent Of the United states Brewers Az.
ISOLATION. together with number Of
other brewers, was granted a hearing
by the Ways and Means Committee Of
Congress on Wednesday In favor Of a
reduction Of the tax on beer. They
said they had submitted uncOmplain.
ingly to the imposition Of I'M additional
tax Of 81 per barrel on their product
when the money WINS necessary for con.
Quoting the Spanish war. and thought
the tax could now be taken of, as the
surplus In the Treasury Is growing.
They said that with beer selling Mt
- per barrel It was unfair for the gov.
eminent to take two.fifths as its part.
Mr.. Brand said In part a. follows:
Congress imposed this additional
war tax upon our product In spite Of
the fact that fully two.thirds Of the
legitimate revenue sources Of the coun.
try, resOrted to in 1862 and 1863. re-
NAMED wholly untaxed. We paid this
exOrbitnnt and unjust extra taxa tax
representing 40 per cent. Of the price
Of our product-during two years; we
paid It, canditlly speaking, under silent
protest; we paid It under Industrial and
commercial difficulties which brought
to many Of us utter ruin, to some Of
us serious impairment Of business
prosperity, and to all of us such meas
ure Of financial embarrassments as no
industry in the world has ever been
exposed to by the lawmakers Of Its
own country.
'The effect upon the whole trade Ia
clearly demonstrated by the fact that
during the last year-a year Of unpre.
cedented affiuence In all branches Of
American commerce and industry-the
production Of beer has decreased by
100000 barrels; and this disastrous
effect, the economic result of the dOu.
BILE war tax, In felt not only by the
brewers, by the growers Of barley, Of
corn, aud of hops, but also by many
important industries which depend al
most exclusively upon brewing, and
particularly by the great mass Of con-
sumers.
"The tax on beer amounts to 10000
600 a year, by far the largest tax col
lected on any article. The brewers paid
the largest part Of the tax. probably
two.thirds, as they have not been able
to have consumers pay more than u
third. II more had been paid by the
consumers there would have been d.
minished sales. As 1t was the sales
fell or 100000 barrels; II the tax had
been paid by the consumers the dimi-
mutton would have reached 3,OOO,OOO
or 100000"
Other hearings will probably be held
and no action was taken by the COM
mittee.

tions for Richard Yates and only nbout

Penltentiary and few other Office
holders.
In Williamson County administration
Officeholtlers from the outside were
present in Hanecy's interest, but the
farmers and business men were almost

These instances could be multiplied.
The arguments Of these men are
mainly two: First. that "ffanecy IA
the candidate Of Cook County. and we
want to get into the lmndwagon Of
the man who has $50 delegates from
Chicago" Second. I'VE must NOM
mate a strong man from Chicago to
help the ticket"
These two arguments eat each
other up. Hnnccy. good man as
he Is, IL certainly not better man
than Judge Sears. who WINS put for.
ward by the same men who present
Hnnecy, and who was defeated by
over $1,000 votes for Mayor of Chi.
cagO three years ago. He II no better
man than linn Carter. who was nOm-
mated by the same officeholders and
lndeservedly went to defeat by 4O.-
600 n year ago.
Again, how are these fellows to
know that Hanecy has Chicago Mt his
back until Chicago speaksY Certainly
we cannot tell, unless the half dozen
men who promised him Chicago mt
the love feast' are authorized to
speak for Chicago. They assumed to
speak for Chicago when they nOipin.
ated Judge Sears, also when they
nominated Zina Carter. Chicago
answered and repudiated their au.
thOrity.
Mr.. Editor. are we to have n can.
dldate who Is nrtfcially doomed? Or
shall we take man for our nominee
whose strength rests upon the free.
voluntary support Of the people?
II rests largely with Chicago.
The Ofiiceholders have secured some
support for Hanecy out In the state
by assuming TINT the ofiiceholders Of
Chicago can deliver Chicago. Now
they will point TO Hanecy's strength
out In the State as an argument that
Chicago shall be- delivered to him.
