THE NATIONS DRINK BILh.
Shows Enormous Growth Despite,
the Spread Of Prohibition. :
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The orations OF temperance work.
ers are often excited by zeal or wrath;
the internat returns OF the govern
ment are cold and impartial records
Of facts and of cash turned Into ths
treasury. The record for the past
fiscal year arouses wonder. The peo-
pie paid in taxes upon strong drink
for the past twelvemonth the sum OF
s@22,7sS, 900.
The people consumed f43. 22O, 900
gallons Of whiskey and brandy,
which brought a revenue of $751;
$4,000, and 65.246,00O' barrels Of
beer and ale, which brought revenue
Of S65,246,00O. The aggregate OF
these two sums is often referred TO as
the nations drink bill, but il is. i'm
fact, only the internal revenue tax
on the enormous drink bill.
The increase OF the tax alone dur
ing the past year was nearly $780,
600 for distilled spirits and nearly
3,000,0 900 for fermented liquors., OF
a total increase in excise alone OF
more than $4,000, 600 within q
twelvemonth. This amazing increase
comes on top of cumulative increases
year by year, and for people who
think it is to be noted that the growth
of the liquor habit has been co.
incident with a spirited prohibition
and local option campaign that has
covered a large part OF the territory
of the continental, United States.
The truth of what is happening
within prohibition and local. option.
territory is illustrated within the
State of Delaware and in nearby
Pennsylvania counties where the sa-
looms have been abolished. The ex-
press companies are shipping liquor:
the beer wagons are delivering il sy-
erywhere: the clubs are furnishing
it not only to men but often TO boys,
and in many instances on Sundays an
we'll as on weekdays. The shippers
of liquor are likewise sending their
wares in enormous quantities into
States which have adopted restrictive
laws that seem not to have had the
expected restrictive influence.
The men who are planning to curb
the liquor evil should look these
facts sQuarely and honestly in the
face and remember that a crusade
against evil is never to be judged by
the lofty professions of those under
taking it nor by their good intent. but
by the actual results.

VALUE OF THE GOAT.
Butt cf ciIr Jokes is One of the Mos,
Cs"iul Of All Our American AMI
mails.

Somewhere the legend exists that
the goat was created by the devil,
/ which, perhaps, is justified by the ami
mars perniciOus activities and his
fondness for things not enjoyed oy any
other living creature. In ancient times
tie honor Of being sacrificed to Bac-
chus was conferred upon il. and in
modern times the goat, no matter how
venerable, is hOnOred, when presented
on the dining table, by being given the
name of one Of the most docile ami
mails known. From time immemorial
has the animal been used as the butt
for jokes in comic papers and there
nave been few who have shown a. will
lingness to espouse the cause of this
really useful but maligned member OF
the animal kingdom.
AT last champion has been found.
one who comes forth boldly, without
fear of criticism, and tells of the nm
suspected value of the goat and pro-
claims that the animal is more satis
factory and profitable az a milk pro-
queer than a cow. A physician Of
Buifalo with the appropriate name of
DIR. w. Sheldon Bull, reused by the
base insinuations and Injustice done
the poor mans cow" says that in
stead of having our cows tested for
tn perculOsis or worrying ourselves to
death for fear our dairyman, despite
his solemn oath, has not made the
tests he should have made, why not
obtain our milk from an animal that
could not have tuberculosis if il tried.
He calls the goat the only dairy ami
mai immune to tuberculosis" He be-
'ieVes the virtues of goat milk and the
ease of obtaining it are too little
known in this country, and he is ap-
plying himself to the task of filling
need long existent, but apparently
1ot sufficiently felt.
Anybody can keep a goat. DR.. Bull
tells US, and everybody ought to. From
a hygienic point of view it is argued
that the owners of these hardy little
creatures may enjoy greater advan-
tages than does the pOssessor of a
pampered, pedigreed cow Of the most
fashionable breed. 1t is we'll known
That goats milk is richer, more nutri-
uous and more easily digested than
cows milk, and as a diet for children
and invalids it is stated by the most
eminent physicians to be unsurpassed.
SO far as attempting to overcome
the ignorance and prejudice regarding
the goat by any organized or syste-
matte effort toward educating the
public with reference to the econom-
is, dietary and sanitary value of the
animal, we are far behind other civil
liZed countries, perhaps due to the
lack Of information given the people
of the United States by those in charge
OF government reports. Outside of the
foreigners on our shores nobody loves
the goat, but if such men as DR..
Bull will continue to champion its
cause, who knows but that some of
these days Nanny may yet butt her
way into popular favor.-New Or

CABLE BREAKS
 s6~if NEAR SFFkA
munication for Short Time-ca- nadian Line Also Down.

The Valdez-Sitka cable went down this morning and it is feared that the line will be out of commission for several days as the cableship Burn side is at Seattle and it will require a couple of days to cut the nec- essary red tape and start her on the northward trip, and four days more to reach the former capital of the territory, near which the break is To- cated.
 Lieut. Dougherty, in charge of this division of the ca ble and telegraph lines, immediately sent service dis patch to Sitka via the Canadian line, but there is no telling when the mes sage will reach Sitka, as the Cana dian line is, as usual, down most of the time.
 Tests made by the local office show the break to. be at or very close to Sitka. At first Lieut.. Dougherty and his electricians feared that some thing had gone wrong at the Sitka office, possibly the building being burned, but later tests indicated the break 8 little short of the office.
 The cableship Burnside is stationed at Seattle and is available for the repair work as soon as the regular amount of government red tape is cut. Lieut.. Dougherty and Captain Lenoire are, however, fred tape cutters" and can use the cissors better than any Alaskan editor, so it is safe to pre- dict that the break will be repaired in as short time as possible. As far as is known the cableship is not un- dergoing repairs, as is usual when ever a break in the cable occurs.
 Cable service via the Canadian line, which is the only alternative, is ex- ceptionally expensive and wretched- ly poor. Messages sent from Seat tie are several days overcoming the delays incident to the usual amount of breaks along the Brilishers' line of communication.
 An effort will be made to use wire less from Sitka to Whitshed during the night time and possibly may be successful, as both stations are equip ped with high power sending appar- atus.

 WASHINGTON, Dec 2-The De- partment of Commerce today approv- ed a fine of $1,OOO against the Spanish steamer Montevideo, for not carry ing sufficient lifeboats. The steamer sailed from San Juan. Porto Rico, last August, with 76S passengers and only twelve lifeboats.
