he popularized this ycav, but the fox
trot, oue-stpp and tango, which have
held international interest for two or
three seasons, will be standardized.
Previously those taught the Mme
dances by different teachers found
themselves bopeiessiy at sea wher
they tried TO dance together" he said
"rhrough Standardization on which
the majority Of dancing Instructors In
Loudon have now agreed, a coEIncn

MUS of unexpended taxes may be
snent for the Districts benefit with
ont doubling under the half-and-hal
law. This course involves only half
confiscation. The nation repudiates in
respect to these taxes raised under
of 1878 and confiscates for its own
benefit the dollars duplicating this
taxation which the law of 1873 re-
ouires it to pay. Uncle Sam will not
confiscate the District revenue under
the law of 1873, either wholly or in
part. -
An Ineonceivable Alternative.
4. The fourth alternative. which is
inconceivable and no alternative at
all. is that Uncle Sam should con-
fiscate the whole amount of District
revenue, saying that after he collected
it under the hah-and-half law and
failed to appropriate it Immediately
under that law he permitted it
through neglect of his agents to be
covered into the Treasury as mis-
cellaneous receipts, SO that it is lost
entirely to the District 1t is incon-
ceivable that Uncle Sam should take
advantage of his own wrong and profit
