Washington, April 15.-Considera-

resumed in the house. The presidents
recent order regarding service pen

Of Alabama who contended that there
was no warrant in law for it. The
president also was criticized by Mr.
Hay of Virginia because of certain
suspensions of the civil service rules
and regulations. After a day devoted
to quiet routine proceedings, the SEN
ate was treated to spirited speech by
ment, on the civil service. The sub
jeCt came up in connection with a
paragraph in the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. Senator Bailey announced
in plain terms that he had no sympa.
thy with the "irridescent dream" of
civil service He declared that each
party should control the patronage
while in power and avowed himself
spokesman. Senator Hale was in ac-
cord with much that Senator Bailey
said, but did not think congress could
be induced to change the law even
though convenienced that it should be
changed. The Panama canal bill oc-
cupied the major portion of the day
and was passed without division. Sen
ator Spooner made a vigorous speech
in support of the bill and was replied
to by Senator Morgan.

MooNsHINER's PROFITS.
So Large That Illicit Distillins Will
Nsver Be Stamped Out.

Never Be Stamped Out.
An old revenue officer who has had
years Of active experience in raiding
stills and capturing blockaders, who
has had many a battle with the out
laws and heard the bullets from their
guns whistle past him, who has often
crouched behind rocks and stood be-
hind trees and who has done his share
In trying to stamp out the miscreants,
said a few days ago in speaking OF
blockaders and moonshine whisky: Il
have been a revenue officer for about
twenty-five or thirty years. and have
seen all kinds Of service, under all
kinds of circumstances, and don't be-
lieve blockading or Illicit distilling Will
ever be stopped. The reason for my
belief and I am not the only one, Is
simply this: There Is such a large
profit in the business that the tempta-
ton Is too great for most Of that class
of people. regardless of the law, not
needing what has befallen fellow
moonshiners. Even forgetting that
they have once been caught or sus-
pected, and that the eyes Of the off,
GERS are on them, they go right ahead
and distill the grain. But at the same
time they are on the lookout for raids
and have their guns ever ready to send
piece of lead into their discoverer.
They are good shots, too, hardly miss
ing when they have a fair opportunity
to take aim.
81 will give you an idea Of how
cheaply moonshine whisky Is made,
and the immense profit that is reaped
from its sale. They take one gallon OF
cheap black molasses, which costs
about 80 cents; two bushels Of meal,
costing about IS cents per bushel, and
some water. This Is made into a
mash, allowed to ferment, and the stuff
then goes through the process Of evap-
oration. This amount Of meal, water
and molasses makes forty gallons Of
whisky, which Is sold for 81 gallon.
Any one can see the immense profit
from this illustration.
"Latterly brown sugar has been used
instead Of molasses, and is a great deal
cheaper. The sugar costs about A
cents a pound; there are 300 pounds
in a barrel, making 1t cost $3.50 per
barrel. An immense amount Of mo-
lasses is made from a barrel Of sugar,
and the profit is almost twice as great
as in using the first method. Distil-
lers are captured every day, and when
they are sent to prison others take
their places, and thus the perpetual
flow of white lightning. Macon Tel

dissatisfied with the progress his ves-

He will also carry a raft on which to
