IRISH HOSPITALITY.
Guests Were Compelled In Eat and
Drink More Than They
Wanted.

From Sir Llewelyn Turner's recent
ly published Memories il seems
that Irish hospitality in former days
was at times embarrassing. The
guest must be compelled to eat and
drink more than was good for him
on pain Of being supposed dissatis-
fled with his entertainment. Speak,
ing of a house where he visited he
says:a The breakfasts, lunches and
dinners were profuse; the breakfast
table Astounding with fish. meat and
the greatest variety Of tempting
yiands.
There was only one drawback,
and thar was great one. namely.
the pressure put upon me to eat. One
of the sons always sat by me. and the
difficulty | experienced in resisting
his hospitable pressure was very
great. Protest was vain: my com
panion was evidently told off 10 take
care Of me.
Il recollect some 20 years later re-
lating this to the late Sir Richard
Williams Bulkeley. and he said: All,
that was some years ago. l well re-
member the custom: but If you go to
Ireland now you will find i'm all good
houses that the habit has disap-
peared. and the English custom of
leaving people TO eat as much or as
little as they like prevails"

cellaneous internal revenue receipts was
iue to phenomenal sales Of public
lands, which reflect unusual prosperity
In the west.
That the unexpected surplus is due to
increased and widespread industrial
activity is. of course. highly gratifying
to the country. But when the revenue
producing machinery creates such q
surplus II is clearly not well fitted TO
the times. says the Chicago Record
Herald. The showing that is made
points Enthusiastically to a readjustment
Of the tariff schedules, to the end that
the surplus may be reduced and that
The impost duties may be more scien-
tihcally adapted TO present industrial
conditions. 7: Il noted that the customs
receipts were greater than the internal
revenue receipts by over 100000
The chances are that the importation
Of partly manufactured goods will be
even greater during the coming fiscal
rear. There is no prospect Of reduced
revenues in that direction under the
present laws.
ne "isuoH vi Tteuctlon vi the sur
plus is so plainly obvious as to require
no extended argument. and the place
where the reduction should be made Is
equally obvious. On the first point we
need only say that it is not just that the
government should keep such large
sum out Of the channels of trade or that
II should raise excessive revenues from
the people. Moreover. such a surplus
Is a constant temptation to extravagant
and unnecessary appropriations As
regards the second point 1t is equally
clear that the people will not assent to
any further reduction in the internal
revenue taxes on beer whisky and to-
bacco. The only cure for the surplus
Is a revision OF the tariff.

ovERcoNFIDENcE OF HANNA
The Ohio Republican Boss May Have

Theodore Roosevelt. whose spine is
supposed to contain quite as much
lime as the Hanna spine. declared that
he would not accept a nomination for
vice president. Mr.. Hanna heartily
agreed with the then governor of New
York. and gave assurances that Mr..
Roosevelt would never get a chance TO
accept IL; but the nomination hunted
down the man for all that. and both
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Hanna were
powerless TO divert IL from the line OF
greatest resistance.
With this object lesson before him.
Mr. Hanna should be cautious about
saying what he will do or what he will
not do. Not so very long ago he said
the Ohio republican convention would
not indorse Theodore Roosevelt for
president. Heswas just as firm about
II as he Is about the vice presidency:
but the Ohio convention Endorsed Mr..
Roosevelt for all that. and Mr. Hanna
did his best to look pleasant. lie may
have to eat his words again when the
republican national convention has
finished the work OF nominating 4

so easy to resist conscription when the
draft is made by great political party.

Three Lines Belonging TO II Cancel

London, Jan. 2-Considerable interest
was created at Lloyd's today by the
announcement that three lines belong
ldg to the International Mercantile Ma

and White Star-had cancelled their in
surance from Jan, /. IL was pre-

national Mercantile Marine company to
include It's other lines in this arrange
mcnt.
While the removal of such a large
amount of business from the market
AT one sweep aroused much com
ment, the brokers received the news
with equanimity, owing 10 the fact that
for more than a year past all these
contracts netted loss TO the under
writers,
There was much speculation las TO
how the international company intends
to meet future losses The general
opinion is that it viii be done through
the establishment OF an emergency
fund. IL was pointed out, howeyer,th ina
the Peninsula and Oriental Steam Ma
vigation company has for a number OF
years neglected the insurance factor
entirely, paying its losses out OF the
current revenue.
