Our Horses in Australia.

A large and comparatively new mar
ket appears to have been opened up for
American thoroughbred horses. Here
totore, our exports of horses have been
mainly to Great Britain and Germany,
but the increasing demand in Australia
for American thoroughbreds has moved
our exporters to attempt to supply that
demand on "A large scale, instead Of by
plecemeal, rs was formerly considered
necessary. So it comes that 80 thor
oughbred American horses are now on
board the United States and Australian
steamship Indralema, which left New
Y ork October |, called at Cape Town to
coal and left that port on November | s
for Australia. Only one horse of the
lot had been lost, according to the report
from Cape Town, and this record, for
what is probably the longest trip ever
taken by so large number of high
grade horses, naturally encourages horse
exporters in this-country to expect the
early development of large trade with
Australia. 1t is an open secret that if
these horses arrive in good condition at
their destination, it will mean subsequent
large shipments. The American horse
appears not yet to have reached the
limit OF its fame. Manchester Union.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Admiral George Dewey is, of course,
In favor of appropriations for two Dread
noughts year as minimum, and Of
fortifying the Panama Canal at both
entrances. Nothing less will satisfy him
than fleet of 80 great battleships.
When that is attained he appears to be
willing to stop, unless some other war
like nation should have 81 battleships.
No one ever heard Of an Admiral of
the navy Of any country opposing the
largest possible fleets that its people can
pay for. 1t belongs to the military pro-
fesslon to insist on the maximum force
that can be mustered If an Admiral
were to suggest that the navy of the
United States is large enough he would
be charged with a want of the spirit of
his corps, and that would never do.
Yet some military men of experience in
Congress are asking why millions of
money should be expended in construct
ing and maintaining Notifications of the
Panama Canal with great feet to de-
fend it from attack. They further ask
why the Panama Canal cannot as well
be put under the protection Of the mari
time powers as the Suez Canal. whose
neutrality and safety arc perfectly main
tanned in the midst of rival nations
Abstract from this equation the military
spirit with the interests in contracts for
big ships armor-plate and heavy guns,
and the demand for fortifying the Pan
anna Canal as well as for creating an i'm
mense navy would be rather small.

HAVE THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES DETERIO-
ATED?

Mr.. J. Cottle Green, in the West
minister Reviem, a London publication,
writes an article on the deterioration of
some Americans, and attempted to show
the faults and follies of this country,
and implies that they are national and
incurable
He criticises almost everything, polit-
ical, social and commercial. He says
that since the Declaration Of Independ
ence was brought about through the
weakness or folly of certain English
statesmen the American character has
deterioated.
THAT the character and the blood of
the original inhabitants has changed
considerably, the straight forward solid
ity of the Anglo Saxon has become
altered and weakened, is The impression
of the other races
The famous, old time morality of the
Puritans has faded away; the continu-
uous influx of aliens, consisting largely
OF the discontinued nations of European
society, has impaired into the character
Of the New Englanderss a strain of that
aspiration after glory, which is so
marked feature of the Celtic and
Latin races
The increase Of the money power has
brought with it new ambitions. lust
for empire, and craze to initiate the
world wide sway, held by and indeed
forced upon our own allied and parent
nation by .Oree of circumstances and
even by humanity.
He then ridicules Mr. Roosevelt
attempt to change our language BY the
adoption Of a nasal patois, but he says
that we were spared that horror by the
common sense Of the American people.
He writes as if lynchings, divorces and
polygamy, even to a worse degree ''tlain
in the case supposed by the jewish Sad.

INTERNAL REVENUE ON THE
INCREASE.
1903, 100000 Melted on Liquor.
Tobacco and Oleo.

OS,OOO,OOO NetIeo on Liquor,
Tobacco and Oleo.
The nations record for the IL
months ended on June 80, as it
shows in the figures Of the inter
nal revenue bureau, is as follows.
Gallons of distilled spirits, 1853, :
900, 900, or $4,000, 900 gallons
more than the year before.
Barrels of fermented liquors,
59,485,II7, an increase of 5000
900.
Cigars, 100000, 900, or 100, :
900, 900 more than in 1909.
Cigarettes, 5000. 900, 900, an
increase of a solid 1000, 900, 900.
Pounds of plug, fine cut, cube
cut, graduated or sliced smoking
or chewing tobacco or snuff, 4o2, :
600, 900, or 1000, 900 more than
the year before.
Pounds of oleomargarine, 141,-
$40, 2S2, or $4,000, 900 pounds
increase.
Illicit distilling and other man
ufacturing Of moonshine whisky
are on the increase, respectfully"
the bureau declares, "where there
are statewide prohibition laws. "
The internal revenue receipts
on all these things-and certain
other things, such as playing
cards and mixed four-amounted
to more than $3.50, 900, 900. Com
missioner Cabelrs organization
collected it all at a cost Of about
S., 900, 600, 900. 1t cost a penny
and a little more than seven mills
to collect each dollar.
When the present year is ended
next June 80 Commissioner Ca
bell estimates his men will have
collected at least $3oS, 900, 900 at
practically the,same cost.
Only three other years have
surpassed the year 1910 as an i'll
ternal revenue producer since the
bureau was established in 1863.
In 1866, while the Civil War
taxes we're still heavy, the re-
ceipts mounted up to $31o, 900, 900
and following the Spanish-Ameri-
can War i'll 1900 and 1901, they
were $295,ooo, 900, 900 and $500, :
900, 900 respectively. But for
times of peace and normal pros
perity 1910 leads the roll with the
prospect Of being eclipsed by the
year 1911.
Commissioner CabelPs report,
speaking of illicit distilling, says
Alabama, Georgia, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina lead in
offenses Of that character. Dur
ing the year officers closed 1911
such plants, 200 more than the
year before.
While the manufacture of cleo
margarine has increased, the tax
receipts were Disappointing to
the government. That is said TO
be due to the fact that large
proportion Of the oleo is now so
made as to take a lower tax than
formerly. There are large num-
Der of prosecutions under way
charging violations of the law,
but Commissioner'Cabel, declares
he believes they constitute only a
small proportion of the real onen-
ses.
Illinois led all the states as a
producer of internal revenue.
More than $40, 900, 900 was col
lected in that State. New York
was second, with $50, 900, 900;
Kentucky third, with $50, 900. 900,
and Indiana, Pennsylvania and
Ohio followed i'll the order named.
Illinois produced most of the dis
titled spirits and New York pro-
duced most Of the fermented
liquors.
Commissioner Cabell recon-
mends that the pay Of revenue
collectors and officers be raised to
a level with corresponding in the
postal and customs service.

CAREFUL WITH DRUGS.
How Prescriptions For ensland's Royal
Family Are Handled.

Family Are Handled.
Members of the royal family have
occasionally 10 take medicine, and
their medicine, although il may be
the same as that supplied by ordi-
nary doctors and chemists 10 the ay-
erage man and woman, is dispensed
in a manner which makes it impos-
sible to be tempered with until it is
placed in the hands of the royal
parsonage for whom il is intended.
Each royal dispenser, and there
are several, has a room set apart
especially for dispensing medicine
for royalty. When prescription Is
brought in by a royal messenger the
dispenser himself or his assistant
takes the date and the time of Its
receipt. The prescription is then
passed into the private room. Here
are glass cupboards, securely locked,
containing the drugs which are used
in making the medicines for men,
bers Of the royal family.
After the prescription has been
entered in a book leach member
of the royal family has his or her
prescription book, which IS pro-
vided with lock and kept in a safe)
the work Of dispensing is done by
the dispenser and his assistant. The
cupboards are unlocked and the
drugs wanted brought out and
placed on a table. Each drug be-
fore being used is analyzed and the
necessary quantities weighed and
measured on two or three different
pairs Of scales to insure exactness.
The water used is of the highest
state of purity, and every possible
care is taken to keep it in that state
while the medicine is being made
up.
When the medicine is finally bot
tied the names and quantities of
every ingredient contained therein
are placed upon the label, together
with directions as to taking written
in English and Latin. The bottle,
after being corked and sealed, is
placed in a strong case, which is
locked. This case has two keys, one
being retained by the dispenser and
the other being in the possession OF
the royal parsonage for whom the
medicine is intended. A trusted
royal servant or a kings messenger
CONVEYS the case and its contents to
the royal residence, where it is I'M
locked and the bottle of medicine
examined and the particulars upon
the label checked by the royal ply
