Big DECREASE IN
INTERNAL REVENUE
Over 5000 Liquor Dealers Quit
Business During July.

Washington, Aug. 27--The monthly
statement of collection of internal rev.
enue shows that the total for July,
1908, was $22,O29,316, which is fall,
ing off of $2,S99,5 as compared with
July, 1907. BY far the larger part of
this decrease is in the collections from
spirits. The most noteworthy de.
crease is in the receipts from the re,
tail liquor dealers special tax, which
amounts to $216,149. This indicates
that S,646 retail liquor dealers went
out of business during the month OF
July, which is said to be largely due
to prohibition legislation in the vari,
Gus states.

new Fight.
Tangier, Morocco, Aug. 27.-Abdul
AziZ, whose army was overthrown by
the forces of Mulai Hafid, his elder
brother and pretendcf to the sultan
ship, just a week ago, has gathered
another army of 1000 followers and
will resume hostilities against Mulai.
Despite the fact that Mulai has
been proclaimed sultan througho 1t the
country Abdul Aziz refuses to abdi-
cate.
In the new and unexpected stand
that he has taken it is believed that
he is secretly being supported by the
French.
The pronounced English sympathy
for Mulai and his offer of valuable
concessions to the English have
aroused the French and they would
go to almost any limit, except actual
l~participation in the warfare, to save
Abdul.
Thousands of tribesmen are still
loyal to the fallen sultan.

AFFAIRS BADLY TANGLED.
accounts of A. 0. Brown G. Co. Greatly
Complicated.

New York, Aug. 27.--The work of
clearing up the tangled affairs of the
stock exchange firm of A. 0. Brown &
Co, whose suspension was announced
after one of the most extraordinary
bursts of speculation ever known on
the New York exchange, has begun.
So involved are the accounts of the
suspended firm that it is believed by
the members of the exchange that sew
eral days work will be required be-
fore the assignee can estimate the
liabilities and assets. These accounts
were greatly complicated by the buy
ing for the account of the suspended
firm of stock which they had sold to
other brokers ana were unable to de-
liver. The losses which the firm suf-
fered under this process will swell its
total liabilities and add greatly to the
work OF. HE assignee.
The tocssharket opened with a
small volum&kpf trading and with
prices only fractionally changed from
those of the closing. The failure of
A. o. Brown & Co. had much less eff
feet on the market than might have
been anticipated in view of the mag
nitude of the firms transactions.
There was a feeling of uneasiness,
however, among the traders, who fear
that the real circumstances back OF
the Brown suspension and the trans
actions of Saturday are yet to be as.
certained.

THANKSGIVING.
The Governors Proclamation.

In conformity with a well established
and laudable custom, l, Edwin =. Stuart,
Governor of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, do hereby set apart Thursday,
November 26th, as day for giving thanks
and praise to the Lord for His infinite
goodness and mercy.
For bountiful harvests, peace and re-
turning prosperity, for protecting us from
pestilence and famine, and for the mani
fold mercies we have received during the
past year, our people have reason to go
to God in thanksgiving and prayer.
For land of homes, churches and
schools, and for the things which make
happiness and contentment, we should
never cease to be grateful.
On this day let us assemble in our
churches and places of worship, and ex-
press our gratitude to Almighty God for
the blessings we have received, and pray
for continuance of His divine favors.
Let us not forget that our thanksgiving
is mere lip service if we neglect the poor,
the unfortunate, and the afflicted.

Der 81, 1902, he pointed this out in the
testimony given by the Standard0il Of
ficials before the Industrial Commission
in 1899. Said The Commoner"
"The plan of vesting in the federal
government exclusive control of trusts
was not originated by the present leaders
of the Republican party. John d. Rock
efeller, in his testimony before the in
dustrial commission, when asked what
legislation would be advisable, said :
First, federal legislation under which
corporations may be created and regu-
lated, if that were possible Vice Presi-
dent Archbold, of the Standard Oil Co.,
said /; The next great, and to my mind
inevitable step of progress, in the direc-
ton of our commercial development, lies
in the direction of national or federal
corporations Henry H. Rogers, a
Standard Oil magnate, indorsed Mr..
Archbold's suggestion"

IN the Herald's article on Bryan and
his Principles, he advises US to consult
modern history. We have done so and
find that the only thing totally destroy
ed in 1904, was Democrat Parker's as
pirations for the Presidency, and that the
destruction was due largely to one of
VIM. Jennings Bryan's chimerical, loud
sounding war cries, "Imperialism,"
and among well informed Democrats it
is generally understood that this sweet
morsel, "Imperialism," was manufac-
tured especially by VIM. Jennings Bryan
to destroy the aspirations of Mr.. Parker
and several other leading Democrats
who opposed Bryan in previous cam
paigns, and while the day after election,
Parker looked and felt like "Sick
Hen," Bryan "wore the smile that does
not come off, "as the result of that
contest that gave him a clear road to
the next Democratic nomination for
President and if the Herald student OF
Political History will just look over the
Bryan vote in Ulster county, the home
of Mr.. Parker, he will know who "wears
the smile now," and who has the sick
hen feeling.

Forest Fire Fighting.

Some of the men who were employed
in fighting fires during the drought were
inclined to find fault with the Commits
sioners' Office because objection was
made to paying men for protecting their
own property. Here is what the Aud
itor General wrote the Commissioners:
In view of the large number of forest
fires that have occurred recently, it is
deemed proper that this department
should offer few suggestions relative
to the payment of bills by the County
Commissioners. The state appropria-
ton, though sufficient for ordinary
years, is likely to prove insufficient this
year, and while the legislature will
doubtless appropriate to cover any de-
ticiency, it is to be desired that the bills
be kept as low as possible.
Both county and state are peculiarly
liable to fraud in this matter at the
hands of unscrupulous persons. We
suggest therefore that the bills be most
carefully revised by the county commits
sioners before payment. The number
of hours per day for each warden or
deputy should be kept within bounds of
probability. The warden should be
the origin of the fire, its location and
extent, the number of persons employ
ed by him and the number of hours each
person worked. Care should be taken
to eliminate claims for fictitious per-
sons or persons physically incapable of
performing the work.
1t should also be borne in mind that
no person or corporation has a right to
compensation for extinguishing fires on
his own property, and great care should
be taken to inquire into all claims with
this matter in view. Pay no man who
has worked to save his own property or
the property of his employer.
Bills are payable Jan. lst, and what
ever money is available will be disburs-
ed pro rata on that date.
