By the first of January the number
of railroad passes in Iowa will be as
scarce as hair on hens teeth, both
the state and national anti-pass laws
prohibiting their use or acceptance by
practically everyone except railway
employees.

The principle of municipal owner
ship gets another black eye by the
discovery that the Dubuque water
works system is $50, 900 in debt with
scarcely any hope of getting out of it.
A laxity in the keeping of accounts is
charged.

Under the new system naturalization
will cost five dollars instead of fifty
cents. and the process of making voters
will be much more expensive after
September 27, when the law becomes
effective. Half of the five dollar fee
goes to the United States and half of
it remains here. The new system is
very complicated as three sets of
duplicated papers are required, one to
go to Washington and one to be given
to the new citizen.

THE KILTIES ARE COMING.
Opening Number Of Lecture Course Will be
the Famous Band. Scotch Highlanders,
at the Grand Opera House, Oct. 23d.

HO i"inOuo hiiticS OAHU Will dp-
pear at the Grand, Oct. 23d. The
band has just returned from its great
European tour, and no doubt will be
welcomed back to America by the
many friends they made during their
engagement here last year. They
come back with new music and in
creased numbers. Mr.. Albert Cook,
the new Bandmaster, took charge of
the Band some six months ago and
has the Band under perfect control.
The standard of PLAYING and the mu-
sic is better than it has ever been.
They have just recently finished a
nine months tour of England, the
longest ever made by any similar
musical organization in that country.
The Band landed in England Septem-
Der last, and had not been there very
many days before H. NJ. King Ed
ward VII. issued royal command for
the Kilties to go to Balmoral Castle
and give one of their admirable enter
tainments before the King and his
guests, and in the ballroom was given
one of the most diversified programs
ever played by the Kilties, a little
of everything in the bands repertoire
being introduced to the delight of
the distinguished, which appIauded
every number very heartily. All of
the royal party, including the King,
wore kits in honor of the Kilties.
AT the conclusion of the program the
King left his seat and expressed his
genuine pleasure to the band, saying
that he had never before enjoyed a
band concert as he had enjoyed the
entertainment given by the Kilties,
as did also the Prince of Wales and
the Duke of Connought, and which
was backed up by the fact that six
weeks later the Band received a
second royal command to appear be-
fore his majesty at Sandringham
House, on the occasion of his birth
day, on the ninth of November,
which honor is unprecedented, as no
other musical organization has enter.
tained English royalty twice within
such brief period.
The Band visited every city and
town of Importance in England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales, and met
with great success everywhere they
played
The Kilties choir of 90 voices, with
new songs and glees is a feature
which has been much commented upon
by the press and public. And last,
but not least. Donald MacCormick,
the giant drum major who created
such an impression last year, and was
greatly admired in the old country as
one of the biggest men in kits, and,
in fact when he appeared before his
majesty at Sandringham the king
congratulated him ON his
height and physique and said that he
was the tallest man that had ever
visited him at Sandringham, and
shortly after he was there MacCor-
mack received an official letter from
the kings secretary, Offering the pos
ition of bodyguard to the king,
which he could not accept at that
time owing to the circumstances
over which he had no control, but
the position still remains open to
him.

FOR FREER ALCOHOL.
Senator Hansbrough's Bill WOuld
Let Farmers Ran Distilleraes.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington. Dec. 1S.-An amendment 10 the
denatured alcohol law was offered in the Senate
to-day by Senator Hansbrough. of North Da-
kota, which If adopted promises to revoIutionize
the production OF denatured alcohol and accom-
plish the end sought by the enactment OF last
session. end that law has far failed 10 at
tain When Congress passed the Free Alcohol
act Of last session. it supposed IL was making IL
possible for farmers throughout the country TO
convert their waste products, most Of which are
convertible. into denatured alcohol which
they could utilize to run thrasher engines. pump
water. and produce other power at home. or else
store It and finally sell to those in need OF
teriaI for power. heat or lighting purposes.
When. however. the experts OF the Department
OF Agriculture came TO analyze the bill, they
found that It would do nothing OF the kind 1t
might ultimately result in somewhat cheaper
fuel for owners OF automobiles and those who
make a business OF producing power, but there
was. according TO DR.. Wiley. OF the Bureau OF
Chemistry, nothing which would make 1t prac-
ticabIe for any one 10 produce alcohol unless
they made business Of it and conducted still
which will produce from seven 10 ten gallons a
day. 1t is 70 remedy this situation and achieve
the purpose which prompted most members OF
Congress TO vote for last years law that Senator
Hansbrough has devised and introduced the
amendment offered to-day
The Senator found that in Germany farmers
conduct small stills their own farms. and so
convert their waste products into alcohol, which.
on It's being denatured. they are free to make
such use OF as they may see fit. To accomplish
this end. the farmer erects his still and then
sends for the revenue officer, who attaches a
"container'' made according TO government regu-
Iations. The revenue official seals the con-
tainer and into 1t goes all the alcohol distilled.
the producer being unable 10 touch the distilled
product without breaking the seal, for which
there IS OF course. heavy penalty. When the
producer finds his still practically full. he calls
the revenue officer who detaches the contatner.
process OF denaturing. and then permits the
producer 70 devote his product TO any purpose
he chooses.
Senator Hansbrough believes that the ex1stins,
law can benefit only the trusts the alcohol
adoption Of the amendment he offered to-day
utilization OF many waste products which are
now lost, will be placed within the reach OF
every farmer who ttls any considerable amount
OF land. and that where One farmer has not
sufficient wastage to operate STILL several
farmers can combine IN It's operation, and thus
derive the benefit OF the law. While II Is re-
garded as probable that certain interests Will
oppose the amendment the Senator from North
Dakota believes that most members OF Congress
intended to do last year Just what this amend
rnent win accomplish. and for that reason e1-
poets that 1t will receive generous support.
New-York tribune., 1906-12-19
BILL TO RELEASE HONEY.
Mr. Depezo You'd Haze Customs
Receipts Deposited zcith Banks.
EFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Dec, 18.-Senator Depew intro
duced in the Senate to-day a bill providing that
revenue from customs shall be deposited directly
in banks which United States depositaries,
and he believes that this practice will largely
obviate those periods OF money stringency such
as the country generally, and New York es-
pecially. IS now experiencing. Speaking Of the
measure, 1Ir. Depew said to-day:
The continued stringency Of the money mar
ket Is affecting most seriously the business in
terests of the country and may ultimately miti-
gate the general prosperity which the nation is
enjoying. Obviously the rate OF interest in New
uFk ought not 10 be higher than IL is in the
other great financial centres of the world But
under existing conditions the rate Of interest IS
most variable IL huctuates seriously, sometimes
as much as 20 per cent in a single day and fust
now, for instance. Is far above the legal rate Of
interest in, believe, any state in the union AS
long as this condition prevails, or is likely TO
prevail. 1t ls impossible for New York to become
what it ought to be. the greatest financial CEN
tire in the world.
It seems to me obvious that one OF the factorg
most influential in producing this condition is
the fact that when times are good, and customs
receipts large, the federal Treasury collects and
absOrbs a great portion OF the currency absorbs
i because there IS no provision in the law that
the money so collected shall be deposited in the
national banks where ii may return 10 the gen.
eral circulation. This money belongs 10 the
people just much as the Internal revenue ro-
cepts, which deposited Immediately in those
banks which have qualified as government de-
positories. On the payment OF Just interest
the public should have the use of the customs
receipts and their return 70 circulation would go
q long way toward preventing money strfngency.
OF course III times OF extreme emergency the
Secretary OF the Treasury exercises a discre-
ton, the legality OF which has been questioned
relieve spaSmOdtCally the market
making generous deposits Of the surplus In the
national banks But no such extraordinary dis
crettOn should be vested in single official
while II is obvious that the financial system Of
the country should work automatically as is the
case In all countries which financially highly
organized.
1 have long been contemplating the introduce
ton OF a bill along the lines OF the one offered
to-day. II is very simple II merely amends
the existing law by removing the exception now
made OF customs receipts where it IS provided
that federal revenues may be deposited. under
certain conditions in national banks With this
amendment the operation OF the law would be
uniform with regard to all revenue. and the end
obtained would prove most desirable believe
Il would almost If not entirely obviate the
periods Of money stringenCy which are so
harmful.
