The did was 102 miles, but the run was made easily that the people of the town were aware of the robbery before the train dawn in. The operator had by that time been leased, and it was found that the thief who had been secreated under the deputy come up through a hole in the door man removing a board. The bullion weighed about 500 pounds, and, as it was then that they could not have carried it for vigorous search was made near at hand; fore night the greater part of the gold found in a hole under the depot, and the mainder was discovered in an adjoining shed, where it had been dropped. Thieves got away with only about $13,000 currency. Another operator remarked that he had the man who discovered the Ogalalla robbery. He was in charge of the little fice at Kearny. He had had a very short afternoon, and as the day was miserable without, he dozed more or less. He tried read, but after it became necessary to call the lamps he found this occupation distful, and as no one came in he leaned ward, placing his arms on his table and head upon them. "I must have slept soundly for a while he said," for I lost myself entirely for hour or two, but presently I had an intense impression that some one was calling for assistance. In my dream it seemed me that I could hear the cry 'Help!' and that I was powerless to render any assistance. Finally I sat bolt upright, nervous feeling as if something terrible happened which I ought to have prevented. I rubbed my eyes and looked around ally. The depot was empty. It was outside, and the rain was falling. I stared at the door, and looked out for a min but heard nothing. Then I went back my desk, filled and lighted my pipe, and gan to read. My eyes had just fallen on page when my instrument sounded once twice very feebly. I looked at it close. It ticked again almost inaudibly, 'Something's the matter,' thought L. I got and leaned over the sounder and listened could just catch the faintest click, as a child might have been playing with a somewhere. While I listened, I began comprehend the nature of the message being sent. I could not catch all letters, but I got enough, after listening it a dozen times, to make out this matter: Ogalalla, Ogalalla. Help, help.' It flashed upon me all at once. The overland tilt was being robbed, or had been robbed, grabbed my key, and let everybody have from Cheyenne to Omaha. There was a lively telegraphing there for a time. The sent engines out from two or three poles got to Ogalalla in time to scare the bers off. You see I was a good deal far off than a dozen other operators, but so how I was the first one that caught on... RICHARD MELROSE, NOTARY PUBLIC GAZETTE OFFICE. L. GUNTHER.

NEW YORK WEEKLY IM G ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1863 TABLES OF THE TELEGRAPH Great Bailon Robbery at Sidney Milwaukee Circumvented Over the Wires Mr. Neb., Oct. 8.—Several old teleoperators met here last night, and in terms of a long conversation told some experiences on the frontier.

I couldn't move hand or foot. After they got me there I began to think what sort of a scrape I had get myself in. The train would come presently, and go flying by, and then those cut-throats would murder me just for the fun of it. I had thought the thing all over when I heard a sharp whistle and a roar. The men ran out to the platform with masks on and revolvers in hand. One of them had the lantern, which he swung vigorously. In going out on the platform they had left the door open so that I could see things pretty well. I began to hope that the train would stop, for I knew it contained men enough to do up that crowd if not taken too much by surprise. The roar came nearer and nearer, until at last I knew by the sound that they were not going to stop. With the whistle blowing at full blast and the dust flying in clouds, she swept by like a streak of lightning. It was all up with me, I thought. The robbers dropped the lantern and began to swear. Then I could hear them talking, and pretty soon I made up my mind that the train had stopped down the road a way, and that they were watching it. Before long they took to their heels, mounted their horses, and were gone. When the train men came up to the depot, all armed with Winchester, I was the only occupant. They released me, and I told them what had happened. A couple of them stayed there with me, and the trai'n went on. If any express ever came any nearer being robbed without going through the mill than that one did, I'd like to know it." A PROTEST AND A REPLY. [Seamless Record-Union.] George W. Cable has just concluded a serial novel of especial brilliance. Mr. Cable is a representative cultured Southerner, an ex-Confederate soldier, a poet in whom the South takes just pride, a novelist whose genius places him in the forefront of Southern literature. Malcolm McKay is also an ex-Confederate soldier and a Southron of prominence. But these two men represent two distinct "Souths." These Mr. Blaine, in his Terre Haute speech, denominated the old and the new South. The first mournfully clings to old traditions, bitterly cherishes old animosities, and is unwilling either to forgive or forget. It is the non-progressive South—the South that insists it was right; that moves in an atmosphere of sentiment, the effluence of "the lost cause," and holds steadily to the hollow doctrine that secession as a right still exists, and has only been suppressed by force. The other—the new South—frankly admits defeat, confesses that secession was a sham, a mere chest behind which the real motive of Southern resistance to the authority of the nation was fortified—the perpetration of human slavery; that admits that slavery was a wrong and a curse, and that its abolition was a supreme blessing; that holds to the power of the South to progress, to develop, to renew its youth, to attain the fullness of greatness destined for the whole nation. Mr. Malcolm McKay read in Mr. George W. Cable's novel, "Dr. Sevier," this paragraph addressed to Union soldiers marshal-in the streets of New York: "Go marching on, saviors of the Union; your cause is and profoundest cause of Southern heart to-day in our New, we may take our chief war for slavery? We all slavey was wrong. Was that is ruinous be right thank no man for buffets; w tense of humility; but before both sides could be brave and yet each be wrong in acts; but where, as to the other both could not be right; while the whole eulightened works is surely not too much to the fullest stature of human stand up and say to our brethren our adversaries—Time has were right."

They released me, and I told them what had happened. A couple of them stayed there with me, and the train went on. If any express ever came any nearer being robbed without going through the mill than that one did, I'd like to know it." Loves of the Saints A Salt Lake letter says that the Mormon elders are endeavoring to coerce all members of the church to practice polygamy. It further says: The loves of the saints continue to embroil them in all manner of troubles. George Cheshire, who has lived twenty years with one wife took home another the other day, and wife No. 1 began to cry. He thought the storm would blow over, but it did not, and the newcomer was at length removed to another house. The first wife has brooded over her sorrow until she appears to have lost her reason. She is an object of commiseration to all her neighbors, who do what they can for her, but her husband and the new wife appear to be indifferent to her woe. John Birmingham lives about ten miles out. He had only two wives until the other day, when he spied a handsome widow who lived on the road he had to travel to reach the city, and they were married at once. His three wives now live in separate houses along this road, and as they are all pretty good farmers, he is doing a land office business. He does the marketing for all, and though they never meet, they do not appear to be in any way hostile. Edward Brain, an official at the Tabernacle, married his fifth wife, a girl of 20 last week, and when his first wife, an elderly laly, was introduced to her, she hit the young woman ever the head with a wet mop, and then chased her half a mile, screaming like a Comanche. Thomas Parker has three wives, two of them living in the same house. All are women under 35. Both of the wives who lived together had four children, but the little ones of one of the mothers sickened and died one after another. After this there was a disagreement between the two, and the silent suffering of the childless mother has become the talk of the neighborhood. Several desertions from the faith have occurred during the last two months, due principally to the pressure that has been brought to bear upon the saints with one wife to induce them to take other wives. No outsider can easily understand the fury with which these outslaughts have been made. They have been fortified by all the terrors which the church and its masters could conjure up. Old wives have been pleaded with, coaxed, and threatened, and the brethren past middle life who have been slow to act on the suggestions of the elders have been spared the trouble of picking out wives. Young and attractive damms have been selected for them and appropriately introduced. The aim of the church authorities is to band them up. Malecolm McKay read in Mr. George W. Cable's novel, "Dr. Sevier," this paragraph addressed to Union soldiers marshal-in the streets of New York: "Go marching on, saviors of the Union; your cause is just. Lo, now, since nigh twenty-five years have passed, we of the South can say it." Whereupon Mr. KeKay, who represents the old South, rises up in his wrath and enters "a protest" in an open letter to the Century, saying: "It is a matter of profound regret and disappointment to some of 'us of the South' to hear that Mr. Cable, whose course as a Southern writer we have watched with so much interest, can say to the North, 'Your cause was a just one.' But no one can challenge his right to utter his personal convictions on this point. But we do feel aggrieved when Mr. Cable attests this same conviction or confession in behalf of the Southern people. It is firmly believed that the South, best of it, holds, with regard to the righteousness of its cause, the same position now that it held in those stormy days. Twenty-five years is a very short time, indeed, to convince those who believed they were patriots that in fact they were rebels; and if it be true, as Mr. Cable says, that we are ready to confess that the Northern cause was just one, then history utters a fearful prophecy with regard to our future. It is entirely possible for us to maintain still not that we were sincere, but that we were right, and yet to make part of a strong and harmonious Government." To this Mr. Cable replies, and the reply which we reproduce with but slight omissions, italicizing where we choose, would only be marred by comment. It stands as a brilliant effective and crushing answer to the false doctrine to which the old South clings, and from which the new South has cut loose forever: "I do not and cannot yield to any one in pride in our struggle and in all the noble men and women who bore burdens; and it is while expressing such feelings as these that turning to those who, once our foes are now more than ever before our brethren I give to them in turn, not a repetition of those words of affection; too tender for any but our own heroes, but the one word of confession which, on the plane we of the South occupy today, we can speak without abating by the weight of a hair perfect manhood. Englishmen do not change their opinions so readily as Americans; and yet our Anglo-Saxon brethren across the Atlantic soon conceded the justice of the American Nation's cause in its War of Independence waged against themselves. Why, then should I withhold my acknowledgment when I grasp in cordial reconciliation the hand of a brother, the justice of whose cause has become my own complete conviction! The right to do this Mr. McKay accords a large scale, as they seem but when an amateur not having facilities wishes to root a few than what is known as the which, even at the risk of it of your readers who already must again repeat, as there is that is so simple and so common cancer or plata; into tothe depth of an inch or two cuttings in the usual manner them in the sand close enough other.

The Irrepressible Muralay "Conductor," said a Chicago man on board an Illinois Central train, in a loud tone of voice, "are you sure we haven't passed St. Leonard?" "Yes, we are twenty miles this side yet." "This isn't going there, don't lift!" "Yes." "Well, don't fail to hit me know when we get there." Then he waited himself back in his seat and waited when a fire leashed back in his seat and quail held it any more buildings had been put up in Chicago since then.

He and those who think with him are still dwelling on the old question of constitutional rights; while "two of the South"-I must insist upon the pronoun—have come down to the more radical question of moral right and wrong. Allowing, for argument's sake, that a State, not having in so many words given away its right to secede, still held that right beyond all dispute and at its own discretion (a doctrine never universally believed in the South). still we had no good reason for exercising that prerogative. I need not remind the gentleman that it was exercised contrary to the belief and advice of hundreds of thousands of Southern men. That doubtful doctrine was not our cause; if the gentleman is a young man I pray him to leave the prescribing of that delusion to the venerable President of the Confederate States. It was only the ground upon which some of our Southern political advisers cast up the defense behind which our actual cause lay fortified. Our real cause—the motive—was no intricate question. A President was elected lawfully by a party that believed simply what virtually the whole intelligence of the South now admits, via that African slavery—the existence of which was originally the fault of the whole nation—was an error in its every appeal and was causing the whole land.

NOVEMBER 1, 1884. and profoundest cause of rejoicing in the Southern heart to-day is that, even at such oot, we were eaved from the rain of occasion. Now, we may take our chance: Was it a war for slavery? We all know now that slavery was wrong. Was it a war for the right of secession? How can a principle that is ruinous be right? Kay, air; we thank no man for buffets; we make no protege of humility; but before an issue where both sides could be brave and conscientious and yet each be wrong in many words and acts; but where, as to the ultimate question, both could not be right; with the verdict of the whole enlightened world against us, it is surely not too much to maintain that in the fullest stature of human dignity we can stand up and say to our brethren—no longer our adversaries—Time has taught us you were right." Plants from Cuttings Florists use what are called propagating benches for rooting cuttings when wanted on a large scale, as they usually are by them; but when an amateur not having green-house facilities wishes to root a few slips there is no process that we can recommend better than what is known as the "saucer system," which, even at the risk of telling it to some of your readers who already understand it, I must again repeat, as there is no other plan that is so simple and so safe. Take any common saucer or plate, into which put sand to the depth of an inch or so; then prepare the cuttings in the usual manner, and place them in the sand close enough to touch each other. The sand is then to be watered so as to bring into the condition of mud. The HINTS TO VINE PLANTERS. [C. A. Wetmore in Rural Press.] In answer to many questions constantly received, I have prepared a few general suggestions concerning vineyard work during the season now opening. The planting and grafting season of 1884 should mark an end of programs in the vineyards of California. These already planted should serve as studies to guide in the future, not only with respect to fine qualities, but also with reference to local and general deficiencies. The winery and wine dealers will require suitable blends to improve stock from vines already planted in disproportionate numbers, and the shipers of table grapes will need assortments to provide for the different seasons of ripening. Vineyards already planted may in most cases be greatly improved by grafting in certain percentages of suitable varieties to supply deficiencies of color, tannin, quality, etc., and to eliminate undesirable stocks. In making arrangements for the coming season, we should have specially in view the distribution of the most useful varieties for different localities, and caution inexperienced planters against being misled by apparent successes during a time when the supply is not equal to the demand. The time will soon come when we shall need to study the markets of Bordeaux, Havre, Paris, London, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Russia and other parts of Europe, the Spanish American States, Australia and India. What we need to do is to work towards the production of commercial models, and the first step in that direction is in selecting the varieties of vines. EVERYTHING.

A California frost-grower has announced in growing ciliegine prairies so large that test fittings can be pushed in a 20-pound box—Bentro Paper. A farmer in Ohio county, Ky., has been measuring forty-three inches from the stalk to the tip of the leaf and thirty inches in width. An Indian in the Canada Mountain shot and wounded an elk the other day, and he could relish his gun, the elk chapped and killed him with his sharp foot. Some ruffians are destroying cows at Hamilton, Out. One man had also owned while another lost quite a number. Tarnips ill-fated with strychnine were found in the pasture fields. A volcanic tree is reported to exist in the Japanese village of Ono. It is sixty feet high with a girth of ten feet, and is said to be centuries old. Every day a white snail like mist issues from the top, lasting from early afternoon till evening. One of the largest orange trees in Florida (if not the biggest) is in a grove near Tamiami. The trunk is six feet three inches highference, and the tree bears from 10,000 to 12,000 oranges every season. Eight days are required to cut a diamond. a large scale, as they usually are by them; but when an amateur not having green-house facilities wishes to root a few slips there is no process that we can recommend better than what is known as the "sancer system," which, even at the risk of telling it to some of your readers who already understand it, I must again repeat, as there is no other plan that is so simple and so safe. Take any common cancer or plate, into which put sand to the depth of an inch or so; then prepare the cuttings in the usual manner, and place them in the sand close enough to touch each other. The sand is then to be watered so as to bring it into the condition of mud. The sancer thus filled with slips may be placed on the window-sill and exposed to the sun. The cuttings must be fully exposed to the sun and never shaded. But one condition is absolutely essential to success: until the cuttings take root the sand must be kept continually saturated with water, and always in the condition of mud. To do this the slips must be watered at least once a day with a very fine rose watering-pot, and the watering must be done very gently, else the cuttings may be washed out. There is every certainty that 90 per cent. of the cuttings put in will take root, provided they were in the proper condition when placed in the saucer, and the temperature has not been lower than 60° for greenhouse plants, or less than 80° for tropical plants. By the sancer system a higher degree of temperature may be maintained without greater injury than by any other system of propagation, as the cuttings in reality are placed in water, and will not wilt, provided the water is not allowed to dry out. Still the tender slip, until rooted, will not endure a long continuation of very high temperature, and we would advise that propagation be done at such seasons that they may have as near as possible a uniform temperature of seventy-five oreight degrees in the sunlight. When rooted they should be potted in dry soil, such as is recommended for sowing seeds in. They should be placed in pots not exceeding two and a half inches in diameter, and treated carefully by shading and watering for two or three days.—Peter Henderson. German Immigration Theodore Poseche, an intelligent German now residing at Washington, has furnished an article on this subject to a German periodical. It is written from both German and American data. It is illustrated with two sketch maps of particular clearances, showing the proportions of the emigration, whence it came and the ultimate settlement of the immigration as dispersed in this country. It appears from the article that in the three years, 1881-83, North Germany furnished the greater number of such immigrants, namely, 418,000, or 62.8 per cent. of the total number. The greatest exodus was from West Prussia, Pomerania and Mecklenburg, whence 4.7 per cent. of the immigration came. The Province of Posen furnished the next in number proportionate to its population, losing 3.5 per cent. of its inhabitants. East Prussia seems not to have had the emigration fever to any considerable extent, only 0.6 per cent. of its inhabitants having season, we should have specially in view the distribution of the most useful varieties for different localities, and caution inexperienced planters against being miled by apparent successes during a time when the supply is not equal to the demand. The time will soon come when we shall need to study the markets of Bordeaux, Havre, Paris, London, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Russia and other parts of Europe, the Spanish American States, Australia and India. What we need to do is to work towards the production of commercial models, and the first step in that direction is in selecting the varieties of vines. I am often asked "what is the best claret grape?" or "what is the best white wine grape." There can be no specific answer to such a question unless all that circumstances of production and the type of wine aimed at are stated, and often advice must be given based on pure judgment, especially when local experience is wanting. Generally speaking there is no "best grape," for all varieties do not grow and produce well everywhere, and in wine-making, with few exceptions, no one variety has all the desirable qualities. There is very little fine wine made in the world from one variety; it is in making proper associations that selections are successful. Each vineyard should produce as nearly as possible a good wine ready for the consumer. If the grower does not make wine the question is the same, because the purchaser will soon select with reference to the best results, and those who have undesirable stocks will be forced to sell at very low prices. Do not plant more than can be well taken care of, and if for wine, the rule should be to be prepared to make your own wine, holding your crop at least one year; otherwise you will surely glut the market by forcing your crops on a few wineries and dealers in advance of the market demands. Do not forget that fifty acres of vines, with appliances for wine-making, will yield better profits than one hundred acres, if the grapes are to be sold. Do not fear that the art of wine-making is difficult to learn; most of our best producers learned their business after planting, and any intelligent man may do the same. The best wines should be expected from the vineyards where no grapes are purchased, unless it be when some proportions are bought to correct deficiencies of quality, which should afterwards be supplied from grafted vines. There is no danger of over-production of really good wine; but there is great danger of producing articles not demanded in large quantities by the trade. All who are interested in this question should attend the next State Viticultural Convention in December, and apply themselves to serious study. Nature in an Ecocentric Mead MIDDLEKOWN, N.Y., Oct. 18.—Nature has been acting quercily in this vicinity this year. A Middletown family has been eating fresh red raspberries for a week past, picked from vines which bore prolifically in their proper season. The second crop is as large as the first, and the berries of greater size and better flavor. In the same garden a blackberry bush is now bearing its second crop of choice fruit, being loaded down with berries of the largest size. Tarnils liked with strychnine were found in the pasture fields. A volcanic tree is reported to exist in the Japanese village Ofuno. It is sixty feet high with a girth of ten feet, and is said to be centuries old. Every day a white snail like mist issues from the top lasting from early afternoon till evening. One of the largest orange trees in Florida (if not the biggest) is in a grove near Tampa. The trunk is six feet three inches high; fortuneance, and the tree bears from 10,000 to 12,000 oranges every season. Eight days are required to cut a diamond though several may be on the wheel at a time and one workman will finish half a dozen a week. Diamond cutters receive gift wages—something like $6 a day. Some very curious names appear in applications for pensions. Among them that of Christian Crawlylous, a Pennsylvania pedagogue; Charley Crow, a colored preschool; Torment Twist; Christian Bible; John Drinklager; Reason Taig; D. Slatecipher; Skye Leaf. A new early apple called Jacob's Strawberry has become popular in England. It is beautifully striped with carmine on yellow ground, with traces of runoff. It is at best in August and September, and therefore escapes the rivalry of apples imported from the United States. Coconut trees in Cuba are reported to be ravaged by the "coconut bug," an insect that first made its appearance in the west part of the island about five years ago. Thousands of coconut trees have been destroyed, and they are slowly but steadily advancing each. At Laurenceville, Ga., Miss Olivia Jenks petulantly refused to speak to her father ten years ago, and though living in the same house with her ever since she has never uttered a word to him, acting at table and elsewhere in his presence like one dumb She died Tuesday without having opened her lips to him. Ex-Gov. Warmoth of Louisiana, who recently visited Europe to study the best sugar industry of France and Germany, reports that sugar from beets is being produced by both countries at a loss, and that the manufacturer is now sustained by subsidies granted by both governments. The statement made to suit Louisiana interests, and agrees with German official ports, would represent the best sugar industry as prosperous. The receipts of the Postoffice Department for the fiscal year ended June 20th, 168 inclusive of the money order revenue, amounting $618,635, and expenditures $460,411,772 leading a deficiency of $3504328 which is attributed to reduced postal rate. The parment last year had a surplus of $266192. This year's deficiency however will be reduced about $400000 by money out revenge. The result confirms the action by President Arthur in his message to the last Congress. At Philadelphia last week, James L.C., toned aged 18, visited his friend John Baker, aged 17, at the latter's home. Bakers parents left them alone in the dining room. came and the ultimate settlement of the im migration as dispersed in this country. It appears from the article that in the three years, 1881-83, North Germany furnished the greater number of such immigrants, namely, 418,000, or 62.8 per cent. of the tota number. The greatest exodus was from West Prussia, Pomerania and Mecklenburg, whence 4.7 per cent. of the immigration came. The Province of Poen furnished the next in number proportionate to its population, losing 3.5 per cent. of its inhabitants. East Prussia seems not to have had the emigration fever to any considerable extent, only 0.4 per cent. of its inhabitants having left their homes. This small proportion also applies to the industrial districts of the Rhine provinces, Silesia and Alsace-Lorraine. One of these sketch maps shows at a glance the destination in the United States of these wanderers from the various places of their birth. The center of gravity to which the immigration tends, says Her: Posche, is at present to be found near the Great Lakes and along the upper Mississippi, the State of Wisconsin containing 14 per cent. of all of his countrymen who come to us. The vast and increasing tide of immigration, when landing on our shores, presses westward farther and farther by degrees. Up to 1840, he says, Pennsylvania was its goe'; after that the Ohio Valley received it; and now the Germans cultivate the territory of the Mississippi. California, and indeed all the region west of the Rocky Mountain, appears to him to be something in the nature of a ferra incognita. The Northwest in his mind is the limit of migrating tendency, the prairies of which, he says, the next American census will show to have been changed into arable land by German agriculturists. Hunting the Record [From the Cincinnati Register.] Yesterday afternoon, at the Union Athletic Park, Mr Crune of the Boston Unions made the largest throw on record. The wonderful performance of John Hatfield, formerly of the New York Mutuals, whose throw of 139 yards 1 foot and 71 inches stood for two years without being huston, or even equalled, was acquired by the young Benthamson, who emphasized his victory by putting nearly two more yards to his credit. His throw was 139 yards 2 inches. Crune made the yesterday without the slightest effect. He is even confident that he can earn supreme this great performance, and still this attention under attempt to hast his own gross success. Crune's throne has made under penalty the most conditious on Hickford's—that is, among the wind. Nature in an Eocentric Moond. MIDDLETOWN, N.

A Middletown family has been eating fresh red raspberries for a week past, picked from vines which bore prolifically in their proper season. The second crop is as large as the first, and the berries of greater size and better flavor. In the same garden a blackberry bush is now bearing its second crop of choice fruit, being loaded down with berries of the largest size. A Port Jervis family last week picked several quartes of strawberries from vines that did their duty satisfactorily early in the summer. In Monticello there is an apple tree the lower branches of which are loaded with pine apples, while the top of the tree is a mass of pink blossoms. A Chochecton farmer cut his first crop of clover in harvest time. It was not so good as usual. The second crop is so heavy and rank that it is now mowed with difficulty and some of the stalks are four feet high. A maple tree in a neighboring Jersey town, which came into leaf a week earlier than any other tree in the vicinity, took on all the autumn colors in July. The leaves fell to the ground until the branches were bare. It commanded building again and was soon covered with green leaves. Later on they turned once more and fell off. The true bedded for the third time, and is now clothing in leaves of the richest green, while all the trees around it are brilliant with saturation. Prepared for the Grane Col Benthamlor attended a wedding about six miles from Atlanta one day last week, and as usual, escorted on early to the little brown jag. Bythe time supper was announced he was in the best honour and in fine appetite. He got the first seat at the table, and began to help himself as often while the others demeanedly waited. The person eyed here's summit on the vignette with ice, and sternly remarked: "Brother Benthamlor, on these occasions we usually say a few words before ending." Barn lusted up blandly, and replied. "All right, persons; my whatever you doing please—you can't turn my elements." There was an explaining of laughter that rested on dinner and the blowing one immediately out of the grange door. Whenever and wherever named by a law state of the system, I am using a york damnable. To Victimization One of the greatest drawbacks to the withcultural interests of this state has been thavey tax imposed on brandies distilled from freight. It has operated to exoduce small grocers from distilling. The tax, when it was first levied, was a necessary one, but that nation has long been in a position to dispense with all direct taxation, such as was numbed to during the war. The Republican has renegotiated this fact and have made separate efforts to secure the repeal of the internal revenue laws, but they have been steadily antagonized by the Democrat who in the late tenth of free trade have regulated every effort to remove these traps. In the last month of Congress two efforts were made to strike out the tax on brandies distilled from freight and they were both lost champion of the strong opposition to the Democratic faucet in detail. An analysis of the vote on striking out the tax of the Kentucky bill shows that similarity of the Democrats in Congress stark against action. Do this criticism of California give hope to keep the party in power whenever management their intentions—prior to Glennade.
