AN INDEFENsIBLE TAX.

All Washington correspondents re-
reports that there is little prospect of
the passage of the bill to reduce the
war revenue taxes The bill proposed
provides for a large reduction of the
tax on beer and tobacco, these interests
evidently exercising an undue 1nfu-
ence in the Senate, but the tax on tele-
grams, bank check, etc, is not, it seems,
to be removed in any event, Some
days ago it was announced that the
Senate and House cOnferees were max
ing an effort to reach an agreement by
which time the total reductions of ex-
listing taxes would amount to about
$50, 900, 900 year, but there are indi-
cations that even this reduction will
not be made If there is no reduction
of the war taxes it will be because of
the large appropriations.
There can be no excuse for ia lure
to reduce the war taxes. It will be .,
outr~. , upon the the public to con-
tinue the tax upon kilograms, bank
checks, express receipts, MORTGAGES, in
surance policies, leases, bills of ex-
change, etc, which the people pay.
If the continuance of war tax Is nee
essary, let it be imposed upon such
luxurIes as tobacco, beer etc, but the
tax upon the people for doing business
should be removed. These taxes were
imposed more than two and half years
ago and were borne uncOmplalningly
by the people so long as there was
reasonable necessity for them, but
there should be an end to them.

That American manufacturers were
never more in earnest in their efforts
to reach the markets of other coun-
tries is we'll show in the FEBRUARY edi-
ton of the Manufacturer, issued at Phil
adelphia. This edition is printed in
English, French and German, and
thousands of copies of it have been
sent to all those parts of the world
where American goods are likely to be
bought or where is chance to intro
duce them. Many articles of especial
value and interest to merchants and
manufacturers find a place IN this large
issue, and the enterprise cannot fail
to prove of advantage to American pro-
ducts.

JOE JEFFERsON's STORY.

Joe Jefferson was asked by Sue
cess what he considered the most
amusing experience of his stage ca
reer, particularly in connection with
his famous Rip Van Wrinkle
The most amusing incident con-
nected with this play he said, "was
the receipt of letter from a citizen in
small town where we had played the
night before. He said he had enjoyed
the performance very much and would
not have missed it for anything in the
world. It might be unusual, he said,
for stranger like him to write his
thanks to so distinguished an actor
those are his words, not mine-ln APP
probation of the smiles and the tears
of whole evening; but that, while he
was thoroughly disinterested IN the
matter, he felt under an obligation, and
would like to make some reparation
and some return for the favors he had
received as an auditor. Z am the in
ventor, he wrote, of patent spring
bed, and I would like to send you one
of these beds, as a present; all [ would
ask of you is just simply, when you
wake up in the fifth act, you would
say that you wouldn't have felt SO bad
if you had been sleeping IN one of
Dunk's patent spring beds.

ARAB PASHA'S EXILE.
The Elderly Leader May Soon Return tc

The Elderly Leader May Soon Return te
Egypt
Egypt for the Egyptians" was the
slogan of Arab Pasha in 1881, when
he led rebellion against the govern
ment of Egypt. 1t took the fleets OF
two nations and the army of one
Wolseley's-to put down the revolt
and Arab was exiled to Ceylon for
life. Now it is announced the Khedive
on the forthcoming twenty-eighth an
niversary of his accession to power
will pardon Arab, and permit him te
return to his native land. Arab Is
about ID years old now, and though his
mother was an Egyptian he claims
descent in the male line from Husseyn
the youngest son Of Mahomet. He is
therefore, of family reputed holy by
the Egyptians. He entered the army
of the khedive as a private, and soon
rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel
Then he led the revolt against Turkish
domination, and England and France
combined to help the khedive ano
Turkey to suppress the rebellion
France didn't help much, and Turkey
finally aided Arab, hoping il he won
to control him. The job was left tc
England. Admiral Seymour, who now
is in command of the English fleet in
China, bombarded Alexandria, and the
English troops soon occupied the city
Arab and his army was beaten at Tel
el-Kebir, and he surrendered.-New

MISS KINGSLEY.
Proposed Memorial Mt London for the
Dlstlne uished Traveller.

=
Dlsting uished Traveller.
The desire has been very widely ex-
pressed among Miss Kingsley's many
friends and among the still larger
number of those who knew her by her
work, writes our Liverpool corre-
spondent, to establish a permanent
memorial to her, says the London
Chronicle 1t is in a great measure
owing to Miss Kingsley's writings that
so much interest has recently been
Africa, and her researches into native
customs and institutions are unique.
Liverpool, owing to its very large west
African interests, was constantly Wis
tied by Miss Kingsley. Immediately
after her death a movement was there
fore set on foot by those merchants to
perpetuate her memory by the con-
struction of a small hospital for treat
ing the numerous cases of tropical dis
eases that are landed daily at that
port. 1t is intended that this hospital
should be associated with the Liver
pool school of tropical medicine. 9th
ers of Miss Kingsley's friends are anx-
ious that a memorial to her should
also be associated with the special
study of native customs which was her
first object and occupied the greatest
part Of her time and energy, and they
suggest that this work should be car
ried on by the Kingsley Society OF
West Africa, established to stimulate
research and to collect from all the
sources information concerning west
Africa. A representative gathering OF
Miss Kingsley's friends in London
Liverpool and Manchester recently
met in London to discuss the matter
and it was decided that the memorial
should include both the hospital and
the society, and that an appeal should
be made to the public for support to
both. Contributions for the Mary
Kingsley memorial hospital should be
sent to A. Fl. Milne, B ~, Exchange
buildings, Liverpool, and for the
Kingsley Society of West Africa tC
