IS NOT ENOUGH.
Democratic Members OF the Ways and
Means Committee Issue "a Statement
Concerning the Bill TO Reduce war
"a

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE minor
.ty members of the ways and means
committee have completed their re.
port of the revenue reduction bill. II
urges a reduction of the revenues of
about $70,000,0 900, or $4,000 900 more
than that proposed by the majority
of the committee. 1t also proposes
an income tax, with n view of again
bringing the subject in modified form
before the United States supreme
court for final adjudication.
The report says that the proposed
reduction of the revenues is too
small and that the bill does not 20
far enough in relieving the people
from the burdens imposed upon
them for war purposes. The remain
ing taxes, says the report, are un-
necessary and should be removed.
The report continues: 1--WE favor
an alteration of the present tariff
laws, certainly to the extent that
they have promoted monopoly. II
has been proved beyond question, by
evidence before the industrial com
mission appointed by congress that
many of the powerful trusts that
have an absolute monopoly of thei.
business in this country and that ex-
ercise their power iniuriously to the
people, largely owe their growth to
the customs duties imposed in the
Dingley tariff law, which prohibits
foreign competition.
The minority take issue with Sec
retary Cages estimate of $25,000,OO0
surplus in 1902, and say that if con-
gress observes proper economy in
expenditures the surplus ought to be
100000, 900.
I'VE are therefore of the opinion
that there can safely be a much fur.
ther reduction than is contemplated
in the bill presented by the committee
and that now is the time to give such
relief. Instead of taking off $40, 900.
900, as is proposed, we would go fur.
ther and reduce taxation not less thar
$4,000 900.

omy.
1--WE shall not. however, oppose the
passage of the bill, but will endeavor
to properly amend it. If we were by
our efforts to defeat its passage, we
would leave the heayy burden of nm
just taxation on the country :"
"We insist that the present tariff
laws should be modined so as to pre-
vent this imposition upon our own
citizens"

As the national census and general
election came together in the year 900,
it is easy to obtain the true ratio be-
tween the population and the number
of voters. The total registration in st.
Louis for the recent election was 1885,
649, and the official census population
is 575.23S. The ratio is one registered
voter to 4.20 inhabitants. But the
actual vote of ST. Louis was 124.937,
the number registered but not voting
reaching Hip. The alto of the actual
votes to population in st. Louis was
AGO. Missouri's total vote was 6S3 .635.
and its population by the census of
1890 is 3,106,665. The ratio of voters
TO population in this state is 4.54 In
general the ratio varies considerably.
Indianapolis reports a ratio of 3.71,
st. Paul, 6.10. and Boston go. That of
New York city as consolidated is 5.s4,
Chicago is 4.75, Philadelphia's $50, and
Baltimore's 4.50. The average for 21

Absinthe Drinking Causes Insanity.

Paris, Dec. lin the chamber of
deputies yesterday Eduard Valiant
moved a resolution calling upon the
government to prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale of all alcoholic liquors
pronounced dangerous" by the
academy of medicine. The resolu-
ton was aimed at absinthe, the con-
sumption of which has nearly
doubled in France since 1894. "The
increase of consumption of absin-
the" said the mover of the resolu-
ton, marches arm in arm with the
increase of cases of insanity, which
will end by becoming a national
malady." The chamber adopted the
resolution.

The question as to the recognition
TO which cigarettes are entitled under
Cirar.,t...n and the law was con-
sidered by the Unit
ed States supreme
court recently in an opinion rendered
in the case of William b. Austin VS..
the state of Pennsylvania. The case
originated in the state of Tennessee,
and il called into question the valid
lily of the state law regulating the
sale of this article of commerce on the
ground that il was an infringement
Of the right of congress to regulate
Interstate commerce, says the Wash
ington Star. The Tennessee supreme
court upheld the law, and the decision
sustained that verdict, though not
without disapproval of some of the po-
sitions taken, and then upon very
narrow margin, four out of nine MEM
bers joining in dissenting opinion and
another member of the court (Justice
Nhite) placing his assent upon grounds
different from those announced by JUS
tice Brown, who handed down the opin-
ion. The Tennessee court had held
that cigarettes are not an article of
commerce. With this view Justice
Brown took issue. and he delivered
quite a dissertation upon the subject.
Whatever is an object of barter and sale
is, he said an article of commerce, and
must be so recognized. Tobacco had
been such an article for 400 years. 1t
had been made the subject of taxation,
and, indeed, had become more widely
scattered than any other vegetable.
Probably, he added, no other vegetable
has contributed so much to the com.
fort and solace of the human race. This
being the case, it was entirely beyond
the bounds TO say that tobacco was
not an article of commerce. He then
took notice of the claim that cigar
cites are an especially harmful form of
tobacco. and while he conceded that
this might be the case, he remarked
that this claim was of comparatively
recent origin. Still, he held that Gig
arettes are as much a subject of state
regulation as is liquor, and he further
held that while no state law could pro-
hibit importation in original packages
it was entirely competent for legis-
lature to regulate the sale because of
the original belief in the deleterious
effect of the article. There was dis
senting opinion of Justice Shiras, in
which the chief justice and Justice
Brewer and Peckham joined. They
based their dissent upon the theory
that congress has exclusive control of
Interstate commerce.

EyIt is Mr.. Bryan's opinion that back
of all the questions which were at issue
in the late election Lies the deep and
lasting struggle between human rights
and inhuman greed" and that if the
latter triumphs "our government will
be converted into a plutocracy and our
civilization into barbarism." This is
text which Mr.. Bryan probably will
stick to during the next four years. 1t
is one from which he can preach end
less sermons to the improvident. the
shiftless and the reckless. Nothing
pieases such persons more than to be
assured that they are the victims of
''inhuman greed" They are always

that comforting doctrine to them. Mr..
Bryan will continue to be the apostle of

GRACIOUS LITTLE BOY.
He Lives In Chicago, and Pretty
Him Quite Naturally.

When that charming story of de-
lightful child, 'Little Lord Fauntle-
roy made it's appearance many older
readers said:
''Little Lord Fauntleroy is certainly
the dearest little fellow in the world:
but he isn't the least bit like any
little boy I know. In fact, l. don't
believe any such gracious little boy
exists outside of the pages of that
book"
But there does exist such gra-
cious little boy. and he exists in the
very heart of Chicago, according to
a paper of that city. He is typical
little chip of a parental older block,
and he seems to have acquired quite
naturally. the pretty ways and man.
ners which distinguished his tactful
father. The dear little fellow is
scarcely three years old, yet he is
gaining quite a reputation for pref
ty speeches that would not be dis
dained by many an older society man
of Chicago.
Recently he was taken to visit his
grandmother, an "old, old lady," who
resided in the country, whose house
hold was managed by a number of
"old, old'' servants. Such an environ
ment was totally strange to the lit.

tie boy, accustomed to the society of
a number of sisters and brothers.
The unusual surroundings, however,
did not appear to make much differ
ence on the happy mind of the sturdy
little fellow. He seemed equally at
home with the old and young and
equally contented with urban and
suburban surroundings. Finally, it
was resolved to put the little fellow,
who was startlingly truthful, to the
test, and the grandmother began the
catechism one morning at breakfast
while her grandchild was sampling
the delights of oatmeal and cream.
(which do you like best, Willie, my
dear, living here in the country or
living in the big city, where your
father is?"
II like it here best when am here,
grandma" returned the child, with a
pretty. smile. "but when I am back
home in the city I like that best, too"
"Well," persisted the pleased grand
mother, ''but don't you miss all your
little brothers and sisters and miss
playing with them and with the lit
tie boys and girls next door?
Wouldn't you rather be with them
than with such a lot of old women as
you see around here?"
Such a surprised face turned toward
the speaker from the oatmeal bowl,
while the tiny hand that held the
spoon was allowed to drop unheeded
on the table. Then a child's voice
asked, wonderingly:
"Where are the old women, grand
ma ?"
