1t is gravely given out that there
are only two ways Of remedying the
constantly decreasing revenues of the
national government-by imposing a
heavier tax on coffee, tea and a few
other articles which cannot be pro-
duced 10 this country or by internal
revenue taxes such as were imposed
during the Spanish war, We are
seriously told that the administration
favors the latter, though everybody
knows that the administration fayors
nothing Of the kind. A stamp tax in
time Of peace would defeat the re-
publican party at the polls. Nor is
the alternative offered the only
remedy. Most Of the schedules may
be made revenue producing by reduc-

The most distressing recent bit Of
news from the war in the east is
contained 10 the cabled report Of
General Linevitch kissing a whole
regiment OF his soldiers. America
must feel in a measure responsible for
this %atrocity. There is no telling
where a bad example may lead.
When Richmond Pearson HObSon
first associated wal and o~cculation by
kissing a double row of unassorted
maidens extending all the way from
the Ninth street cable to the Coates
House in Kansas City some years ago,
he made a precedent which was
bound to lead to trouble. If a war
god must fall into the kissing habit,
what is a poor old fellow like Linevitch
to do, five thousand miles from home
where the maidens are all opium
smoking Mongolians? 1t must be
something fierce to have to kiss a
regiment Of bearded CossacKs just to
qualify for the Hobson class Of heroes.

TOUR OF HOTEL ELEVATORS
Average so to so Miles a Month fol
Every 100 Feet of shaft-In-
teresting Experiments.

Nobody who spends much time
in the s~kyscrapers can help motto
ing the increased speed attained
by the elevators since the intro
ductiOn and perfection of the
safety clutch, says the New York
Sun. This increase in speed APP
plies to the elevators in apart
ment houses and hotels equally
with those in Office buildings
though the hotel elevator is usu
ally still the slower, as it always
has been.
The maximum speed for a pas
senger elevator in ordinary use
has been reached, for the present
at any rate, in a Duane street Of
fee building, where one runs with
a rapidity averaging from 900 tC
700 feet a minute.
Some interesting experiments
have just been made by the Ed
son company to discover what dis
lance is covered by the ordinary
hotel elevator in the course of 8
months travels. In one apart
ment hotel in which there are tive
passenger elevators and a shaft
316 feet high travelling ordinarily
$50 feet a minute the elevators
covered in a month 1853 and 1S;
miles. A freight elevator almost
half as fast covered in the same
period only 81 miles.
The two elevators in another
hotel, one with a 254 and the other
with a 21S-foot shaft, covered 16l
miles and 1461 miles in a month
travelling $50 feet a minute.
The conclusions reached were
that in hotel service a busy
elevator customarily travels from
so to so miles a month for ever,
100 feet of shaft and consumed
approximately two kilowatt houri
Of electricity for every car mile.

Americas Heroic PERIOD.

A recent magazine writer has re-.
marked that the Lewis and CLARK
Exposition which is to open at Portland,
Oregon, on the first day of June is
much more than a celebration of the
expedition of a hundred years ago
which opened up u athwsy to the
Pacific. 'tIt is a rec gnitlon, :" says
this writer, "of the heroic period in
American history"
Our nation IS young, and yet we
have a heroic period. 1t IS not
necessary for the lover of aud
doughty deeds to bark back TO the days
or Homer, or even to the times of the
Crusades; let him 60 back only a
hundred years, without leaving
America, and he will fiUd days aud
deeds as heroic as any that have been
celebrated IN song or slory-America's
heroic period, in short.
When those two young army
captains, Meriweihtr Lewis and
William Clark, set fourth upon their
long and perIlous journey from S
Louis to the Pacific coast, in the
spring Of 1904, they were but dimly
aware Of the tremendous importance oil
their task. Not ever the far. seeing
Thomas efferson, who, as President
OF the United States had sent them
fourth, could fcresee the marvellous
results of that little expedition oil
thirty or more white men boring into
the midst Of a wilderness inhabited By
Savages and wild beasts. But the
President and the two young captain,
could see far enough into the future tC
comprehend that the expedition, i
successful, would add an importan
page to American history, whether o.
no 1t might add new territory to tn,
American nation.
1t is not probable, however, tina
either Lewis or Clark had any adequat,
conception of the high esteem In whlcI
the tutare would hold them, Of thl
exalted niche in the temple of fame il
which their memories we're to Sc
torevermorei they did not regar,
themselves as two of the notabl
heroes Of history. Each Of the youul
explorers, as John Hay wrote Of jim
Bludso, the Mississippi river steamboa
engineer, ''seen his duty, a dead sur
thing, and vent for it thar and then.
Their duty was to find a path to To
Pacific, to observe and note down i
detail the unknown land SthrouR
which they must pass, and tn
character and habits OF the natiy
tribes dwelling therein and they di
their duty, for which history give
them full credit.
