CURRENT LITERATURE.

The July number of Tales, Just out with
its new and attractive cover, is admirably
adapted to the wants of summer readers.
The IA stories are somewhat lighter in
tone than has been the case with preced-
ing numbers, and the proportion of humor
Is unusually large. The complete novel,
"Ihe Secretary of the Duchess trans

is "a charming example of French esprit

Several districts in Sussex took adyan-
tage of their opportunity, raised the

held meeting early IN the spring OF
1905, voted 20 raise 3 900 for the pur-
pose of repairing the state road leading
north from Milford The tax was levied
and the money collected and turned over
to the Levy Comiman from the district
Has the road been built Not yet
VIII il ever be built ? Nobody can as
certain. Who has the money This
question is deemed impertinent and is
only asked secretly. Some say that the
finances Of the Levy Court are in bad
shape and that they have used this
money raised by a special tax among the
people Of Milford hundred. Others say
that the Levy Court has not applied
money 10 any purpose. But, anyway,
there is the 81 600 raised voluntarily by
the people Of that district for a special
purpose, and nobody can find out where
it is.
Now here is the point Why don't
they find out Politics Mr.. a. wants
the nomination for one office, Mr.. B. for
another and Mr. C. has hopes for the
future. II is discussed in an undertone
among the farmers, but they will haul
their produce over a road that isalmost
impassable rather than 60 before the
Levy Court and demand an accounting
for their money and tho reason for the
failure to build the road. And, further
more. It is safe to assert that were their
member Of the Levy Court renominated
they would vote for him TO a man.
Good faith is nothing, their money is
nothing, beside party regularity.

what ReIlef From Tax DOCS.

Already, in view of the removal of the
tax ON denatured alcohol on the lst Of
January next, arrangements are under
way for the construction, by the Inter-
national Power Co., of largo boats to be
driven by alcohol motors. The president
of the company says that by the use of
alcohol motors they will make a torpedo
boat of the same length and tonnage of
any steam power boat with saving of
one-hall the weight and half the draught.
Thus It will bo seen how the removal
OF taxation helps business. Taxation,
ON the other hand restricts business, or
at least imposes upon il burdens that
sorely oppress the people. II we could
do with the protective tariff taxes what
we have done with the tax on denatured
alcohol there would be similar beneficial
results in the way of stimulated business.

Peace reigns at Washington, and the
fight over the meat inspection measures
ends with everybody satisfied. The
President was victorious; Speaker Cam

worth was victorious; the House of Rep
resentatives was victorious As for the
Senate, it has no interest in the matter
and is satisfied with anything that may
come out Of the controversy. The only
exception to this reign Of hilarious salts
faction and rejoicing is senator Bever-
idge, whom the President accused of
misrepresentation, and he may find con-
ISOLATION in his elevation to membership
in the Goat Club composed Of those who
hear the burden OF the Presidents mis-
takes.

Who is to be the Republican candidate
for governor in 1905 ? Perhaps the
answer 70 that is that it is too far ahead
and that the people viii attend to that
when the time comes. But there is a
rather persistent rumor that 1t has been
attended to already The knowing ones
say that along with the election Of a
senator the successor TO Governor Lea

Pennewill Although the date of the
convention is more than two years in the
