PISTOLS AND CIGARETTES.

A correspondent to the Washington
Post suggests that pistols and cigar
cites ought TO be taxed out Of exist
ence. He thinks that every manufac-
Ing establishment whicl. produces pis-
tolls, guns and CT her dangerous weapons
ought to be taxed $4,000, and every
wholesale dealer the same and every
retail dealer $1,000.
It is recited that Lincoln, Garfield
and Mckinley, three loved and honor
ed Presidents Of the nation, were vic
i;nl5 g i,is.o!- .cters And it is charged
that ordinarily the man who carries
pistol Is 8 coward and that too often
she lives Of the very best people are
sacrificed to the whims and passions OF
the coward who carries the pistol.
Also cigarettes are pronounced
against with vigor and force and the
writer suggests that some Congressman
should introd uce a bill! to suppress
pistols and cigarettes.
The argument is good and the good
sense it contains is very clear, but
there seems 10 be little ground to hope
that ne pistol manufacturers or the
cigarette makers will soon be called
down BY such taxation as is suggested.
We agree with the Posts correspond
ent, In the main but he is engaged in
Quixotic contest and will hardly live
to see his ideas embodied into law.
Every State has its laws against
carrying concealed weapons, which, of
course, inc.udes pistols, but the bother
