I Revenue depart<Wl President Oteweland barl the coueage not only not to appoint the maw the whisky ring dcnißtidcd, htft ap point the wan it did uni waift. It l neediest te add that the whole coun try, outride llte combination, heartily apldauded the heroic fldeWiv of lb* President. Another severe test is about to he made of the power of iSie whisky ring and ot the integrity -of President Orfveland and Secretary Manning. McCulloch, the late Secretary of the Treasury, arbitrarily tpostponed the payment of the due whisky taxes tor .even months. The extended pe a-ind (or the payment will ooh come, and the whisky a peculators are in no Wiler condition *o pay Ilian they were seven months *go. They now want another arbi trary legislative order frem an ad ministrative officer, and Secretary Manning is expected to repeat the 'flagrant usurpation of Secretary Mc- Cullough. A tew years ago the whisky men could have had a repeal of the whis ky tax, but they dad not desire it and aggressively resisted all effort to re llctc their businees of the oppressive exaction. They ld conceived the scheme of a complete combination of the leading whisky interest of the the country that would crush out all the small producers, and they there by created a gigantic monopoly that soon made Itself more powerful than the government. When they had consummated’!he whisky ring monop oly, they would neither assent to the repeal or reduction of tlio whisky tax nor would 'hey pay It. Unfortunately for the monopolists and jobbers oltiio country, there lias been a change of national authority dial means something mor* than a re moval of otto class of jobber to lie re placed by their fellow Jobbers nomi nally outlie oilier side, and President Cleveland and Secretary Manning will doubtless re-assert the official integ rity and courage exhibited In the appointment of tho commissioner of revenue. There Is no law to war rant the arbitrary postponement of the collection of the whisky taxes that are due, any moro than there is law to warrant the remission or postpone ment of any othei debt due the gov ernment. Any technical lawyer, if well paid, could likely find some way to furnish an opinion in favor of law lessness In this ease as In any oilier ease; hut the plain mandate ot the whisky law is that the tax shall lie paid when due, just ns other taxes and debts are payable. It will be alleged that (lie whisky interest is paralysed and that great loss will ensue In the distillers if they are compelled to obey the law. In other words, they will plend for relief from the tax they persist in impos ing upon themselves (o give them an absolute monopoly,because they have more whisky than they can sell.

Mr. Bush tied a rope around the dogs’s neek and swung him up like a horse is tor drenching. He then took a pint ol whisky and poured it iuto the dog, without any visible eflbct.

A ftieitd called on him in the evening •previous to his spcechlcssness, and ! immediately after his departure llte patient fell asleep, to Vwakcn unable to speak, except to give a brief order to his nurse. He said that, when the famous peace comiiiissidn called on him and President Lincoln lit Virgin ia, lie saw Alexander 11. Stephens for the first time. He hd hoard mneli of the southern statesman, <wrt, on seeing him in company with (tie other com missioners, lie thought him astonish ingly big. Stephens wore a Huge overcoat, made of some rude mutoriai —coarser, the general said, than any any Canadian cloth he had overseen. The collar was more comprehensive Ilian any lie had come across, the tails touched the ground and the circum ference was in keeping with the lest of the ample proportions. In Grant’s headquarters Stephen's took off the coat, and revealed himself the slender and in every way diminutive man lie had been represented to be. It was llie garment that had afforded bulk. The |ieacc commission went up on the York river to see Lincoln, and a few days after the President came down to meet Grant. “Did you see Stephens?” Lincoln asked. ••Yes, sir/* replied Grant. “See him in hia overcoat ?” “Yes, sir.” “Well,”and Lincoln roared witli laughter, “ain’t that the tittlcst ear out ot tlie biggest shuck you ever saw in your life r Grant toid the story with gusto, and seemed to especially recall Lin coln's quick sense of llte ludicrous.

The silk industry, whieit has be come so large an interest in this coun try, is purely a manufacturing oue, getting its taw maternal altogether from abroad, duty free. The manufac turers do not expect much reiultfrom silkraising in America, chiefly because they think silk cannot be well reeled in this country at any satisfactory price. A demand for protective du ties oo the raw material would also lend to reduce the margin for manu facturers, should silk growing become an intcrestofimportai.ee. It is stated I hat girls in the French filatures earn only from one to one and a half francs (twenty to thirty cents) a day, and in those ot Itailv seventy-five centimes to a franc (fifteen to twenty cents) for fourteen hours’ work, while equal ly skilled labor here should return nearly a dollar. Moreover, silk valued at four to five dollars per pound can he brought to New York from Japan at from litre* to eight ecu: per pound freight. The promising field for American illk growing in America seems, there fore, to he restricted chiefly to that cl a subsidiary industry for women and children, who would not otherwise lie at work, and then under the disad vantage of “house reeling.” Whether the production of cocoons, not tor reel ing, hut for direct use by the growing industry of spun-silk manufacture, might prove profitable, is very ques tionable, in view of the low price (about seventy-five cents per pound) paid for cocoons. Nevertheless a “Women’s Silk Cul ture Atsoclation,”oiic of tlie direct re sults of llte Centennial Exposition, ex ists in Philadelphia, with the purpose of promoting silk culture a. profitable work for women.

Every good tiling has its host* of lm itutor*; every genuine article lias its counterfeits. Bad manners and wick ed habits have theirs also; but lie who plains the bud never boasts of it, while they who ape the virtues of the good or simulate the genuine never hesitate to place the counterfeits be fore the public in their most alluring tones. When these pcop’e imitate they always choose a pronounced type or popular subject to copy from; and when they claim to he a goed a* "So und so,” or to sell an article equal to *• So-a ml So,” the public ntav depend upon it that Mr. “So-aud So,”and his article are al way the best of the kind. Thus the sham is always proving ten nine merit of the tiling it copies. A firm ot enterprising gentlemen produce null popularize an article of household use, such as the Koval Bak ing l’owiler. whose convsnlnce,useful ness, and real merit make for itself an immense and universal sale. A hun dred imitators arise on every hand, as they hold out their sham articles to tho public, yeip in chorus, “Buy this; it’s just as good as lioyal, and much cheaper!” The lioyal Baking Powder is the standard the world over, and its imitators in their cry that theirs is “as good as Royal” are all the time emphasizing this fact. In their laboilous attempt* to show by analysis ami otherwise that the ‘ Snowball" brand has as mneli raising power “as the lioyal"; or that the •‘KarthqUahe” brand is “as pure as the Royal." as well as by their eoitlortive twistings of chemical certificates and labored ef forts to obtain recognition from the Government chemists ami prominent scientists who have rerdfied Cite su periority of lioyal over all others, they all admit the “Royal’' 1 to he the home ot perfection, which It is their highest ambition to imitate.

The Queen’s offer of an earldom to Mr. Gladstone in this panicular crisis of history was as timely and appr,- priate as his declining the honor wa delicate ami wise. Few men could have passed through the ordeal that he has borne these last lew years and come out as unscathed as he has, and finally to find himself mere honored in his defeat than lie could have been with any sucres* within Ids reach. In offering Mr. Gladstone an earldom the queen hut expressed the bqst sen timent of England and the common sentiment of intelligent mankind. In truth, the dignity of a pierage seemed-so appropriate and desirable just now for Mr. Gladstone that at first sight one experiences regret that he saw fit to decline the honor. But when It 1 rcmembeied that all his life’s work lias been done in the House of Commons and in ‘.lie line of such popular reforms ami agita tions as had iieccessarily to original in and take lheir force from ilieCmii tfiens, it is clear that unless Mr. Glad stone intended to abandon the grcai leadership of the Liberal party he should not yet accept a peerage, which would place him in llte lloiim of Lords and practically tic Ids hands. Then; have been great leaders among the Lords, and no doubt Mr. Gladstone, if he hail accepted this honor, would have added another il lustrious example ot a man who could he exalted in rank without los ing Ids ability oi work and influence. But he could mu have taken the House of Commons into the House of Lord* ami it is great powers of argu ment and his management of men would have been comparatively lost among a set of men most ot whom arj; too dull for intelligent manage ment. In refusing an earldom Mr. Gladeston appear* lossy plainly that the time for him to rest on his otar* has not yet come. And possi >1 y the next two or three years of Ids life may be more brilliant than any of the past yea: a have been. mi POWDER Absolutely Pur. This powder never virlw.
