High License in New York.
The New York Legislature on Thursday,
the day it adjourned, jiassed the Vedder
whisky bill, which is a high license bill. It
was passed by a strictly Republican vote.
The opposition of the Democrats was not to
the high license, for which the bill provides,
but to that provision of the bill which re
quires that the proceeds of the tax shall bo
turned into the State Treasury, and be used
for the benefit, of the taxpayers of the whole
State.
According to the terms of the bill whisky
saloons must pay a tax of S4CO in New York
and Brooklyn and beer saloons 5100, while
in the smaller cities and towns the whisky
tax is place ! at S3O and the beer tax at $lO.
It is probable that there would not he a great
deal of opposition to this inequality in the
license taxes if the money were used for re
ducing the general taxes in the localities in
which it is collected. It seems to be unfair
that a tax should bo levied in the large cities
for the benefit of the country.
It is probable that Gov. Hill will veto the
bill because of the disposition it makes of
the money it produces. It is true that in
about every State the cities are more heav
ily taxed than the country districts, lint
nowhere is there a higher rate of taxation
in the cities for the benefit of the country.
The higher saloon taxes in New York and
Brooklyn ought to benefit only the tax
payers of those cities.
The reason, doubtless, why the Vedder
bill was framed in the interest of the coun
try taxpayers was to secure for it the sup
port of the country members, the great ma
jority of whom are Republicans. If the
Governor vetoes it the Republicans will
claim the prohibition vote on the ground
that thej- alone tried to secure the legisla
tion in aid of the temperance cause, and if
he signs it they will claim to be the friends
of the country taxpayers and ask
their support for that reason. The Repub
licans are shrewd politicians and are much
more anxious to advance the interests of
their party than they are to promote the
welfare of the people, as this bill plainly
shows. If they were sincerely anxious to
promote the cause of temperance they
would not have framed the hill so as to
make it almost a neeeasity for the Governor
to veto it.
Reduced Rates for Ministers.
While nearly all the newspapers of the
country are confining their discussion of the
interstate commerce law to the fourth sec
tion, those of Philadelphia ate devoting
their attention to the section which permits
the railroads to sell tickets to ministers of
the gospel at reduced rates. The subject is
an interesting one. The practice of making
such discriminations in favor of ministers
has long prevailed, due, no doubt, as one
Philadelphia newspaper suggests, to the old
fashioned deference which used to be ac
corded to the cloth everywhere, and which
to a large degree is still accorded.
' Some of the railroads luid it difficult to
determine who are ministers of the gosjx'l.
There are ministers who do not preach the
gospel, as the word is commonly understood,
and yet they are recognized as authorized
expounders of some religion. The Spirit
ualists, for instance, have ministers ap
pointed in accordance with fixed regulations;
but Spiritualists as a rule have no faith in
the gospel of Christ. In Ohio the authority
to perform the marriage ceremony is limited
to “magistrates an<l ministers of the gospel,”
a fact which in some instances has caused
the same privileges to be extended to each.
Thoological students and nuns are recog
nized as ministers of the gospel in some
States, and even some Quakers are so re
garded. It is probable that every minister
of a religion, whatever that religion may
be, will seek the benefit of the exemption.
In this event, the railroads may find it nec
essary to ask the courts to decide who are
ministers of the gosjiel within the meaning
of the act.
Quite a large number of ministers never
accept reduced rates from tho railroads.
They refuse to do so upon tho ground that
it is not right for makers of public opinion
to place themselves under obligations to
such corporations, and also liecausc they do
not wish to be regarded as subjects for
charity. It would, perhaps, be best for all
ministers to refuse to accept favors from
the railroads, but as long as their salaries
are so small they arc not likely to do so.
Congressman Ben Butterworth is making
quite a reputation as a spread-eagle orator.
His latest effort was in Cincinnati, the sub

that whenever they resulted in deeds of vio

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MAY 30, 1887.
The University’s Duelists.
Chancellor Mell, of the State University,
has thought proper to reply to the criticisms
upon his course relative to the recent at
tempt of two students of the university to
fight a duel. He cheerfully admits his re
sponsibility to the press and tho public for
the general principles controlling his part
in the administration of the university, and
considers it fortunate that the press makes
it a rule to freely discuss the university’s
affairs. He does not believe in resenting
press notices tlmt are unfavorable, nor in
trying to intimidate into silence any paper
that shows a disposition to criticise harshly.
Regarding the reason for restoring the
students to the university after they had
been expelled, the chancellor says, first, that
they were duly punished. Their connection
with the university was severed, And they
were compelled to return to their homes. In
this way tho brand of condemnation was
placed upon the criminal, barbarous and
foolish deed which they attempted to perpe
trate. In the second place the offenders did
not commit an unpardonable sin, and no
sensible person would wish the doom of all
colleges closed against them. This being
the case, there was no reason why the doors
of the university should bo closed against
them. In the third placo, the
punishment inflicted wus in the presence of
the wholo world. The students themselves
justified the university authorities, and de
clared that they deeply regretted having vio
lateil the university’s laws. Their parents
and their friends acquiesced in tho justice of
the punishment inflicted. Finally, promi
nent citizens, including trustees of the uni
versity, petitioned for the restoration of the
students.
Tho cliancellor’s defense of his course is
complete and satisfactory. Tho punish
ment inflicted upon the students was suffi
cient to maintain the dignity of the univer
sity, and after their honest confession of
their error and tho expression of then - re
gret for having violated the university’s
laws, there was no good reason why they
should not have been reinstated.
The Beecher monument fund does not
grow with tlie expected rapidity. “You
never know what is the serious admiration
of the world for a public man until he dies,”
said a member of Plymouth church the
other day. “At the time of the great scan
dal the members of the church raised sloo,*
000 to defend Beecher in no time, ‘blit now,
although it is over two months since he
died, and the public have been invited to
contribute, only about $15,000 have been
subscribed to the monument fund. What's
the reason for this great falling off? Well,
the principal one is that the man is dead.
But there are many other reasons that have
contributed to this result. Beecher may
have gained more notoriety after the great
scandal, but he has lost much of
the respect of those who had stood by him
in his trial. The repudiation of Blaine in
the last campaign was the one great mistake
of his life, as far as popularity was con
cerned. Many still believe that he de
feated the brilliant Republican’ loader,
and the schism that the Milgwump move
ment made in the church was never ce
mented. If ( Beecher had stood by his party
the monument fund would not drag as it
does.” ’
Mr. McAdoo,' the bright young Demo
cratic Congressman from New Jersey,
thinks there will be not less than 100
amendments to the interstate commerce
law offered as soon as Congress -riteets.
There is a very strong opposition to ti e
eommision feature, he says, and he expects
to see it abolished. The idea of a commis
sion with absolute power, such as is exer
cised by dictators, is repugnant to Ameri
cans. He has talked with some of the lead
ing men in Congress, who say that there
must be something done about it. If what
Mr. McAdoo says is correct, about the
whole of the next session of Congress will be
taken with amendments to the interstate
commerce law. If that is the outlook the
President can’t do a wiser thing than to call
an extra session.
Buffalo Bill has a daughter named Anita
Lucille. She is a beautiful brunette, says a
New York paper, of twenty-two summers.
She is tall, has a pretty figure, is vivacious,
well educated, and looks liko her father.
She sailed for England on the Arizona last
Tuesday. Her father telegraphed for her
to come to London the day after Queen
Victoria visited the Wild West. He ex
pects her to be presented at court. It Is be
lieved in New York that Minister Phelps
will refuse to aid in the presentation. If he
does Buffalo Bill will doubtless try to make’
life a burden to him by writing an article
about him in Thomdyke Rice’s North
American Review.
Some drummers in Maine recently tried to
play a joke upon green countrymen by pre
tending to offer counterfeit money for sale.
They had great fun for awhile, but were
finally arrested. Confined in close cells all
night, advertised all over the country,
forced to pay about all the money they had
to lawyers, and finally obliged to threaten
l"gal proceedings and physical resistance in
order to prevent themselves from being pho
tographed for the benefit of the police,
they found the laugh very much “on the
other side of the mouth.” It isn’t often that
drummers suffer a joke to he turned on
themselves.
The statement is made that for a month
or more Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, of Chicago,
has received a bushel of papers a day with
marked notices, connecting his name with

"states that this kind of mail is a great an
noyance to him; that ho is notin politics,
anil has no political ambition. It is known,
however, that tho law firm of which he is a
member has a practice worth more than
$50,000 a year. Mr. Lincoln is devoting
himself severely to business." Sensible, Mr.
Lincoln!
Tho San Francisco Chronicle says that in

logical conclusion we would immediately vacate

Got It Systematized.
From the Dakota Dell.
One day this week a man knocked at the door
of a Sioux Fulls house and to the woman who
responded said:
“lain putting a heavy silver plate on table
knives at the low price of 23c. pier dozen. Can
“No, sir, you can’t. There was a man here a
week ago who plated all of mine.”
“Of course, that was tny partner. Wasn't
there another man here three days ago with
silver polish?”
“Yes.”
“Did you buy some?”
“No.
“Ah, the A'ouble is right here, madam, he is
another of my partners—you should have
bought some ot his polish aiid it would have
taken your plating oif the first time you used it
and you would now be ready for more. You
are the one v.ho is at fault, madam, not ur..
Good-day, madam, we'll be around again in the
same order in about two weeks.
Probably Got Him.
From the Detroit Free Press.
A farmer in the western part of this county
built a dam across a creek flowing through his
land and made quite a lake of a piece of low
ground. One day last fall, while skirting this
lake, he came across a man who was seated on
a log, with three fish lines out, and he hailed
him with:
"Hello, stranger, what are you doing?”
“Fishing,” was the brusque reply.
“What for?”
“For fish."
“Got any bites?”
“Not a one.”
“Do you know that this lake belongs to me?”
“Yes.”
“And did anybody tell you that I went down
to Detroit and bought twenty-four bullheads,
and that all but one died on the way up here?"
“Yes.”
“Then you know that there is only one soli
tary fish in this pond.”
“I do, mister, and I'm going to have him be
fore night if the pond doesn’t freeze over and
cyclones keep away.”
The Converted Captain.
From the New London Day.
During the progress of a pow erful revival of
religion a boisterous old captain was “struck
under conviction” under the preaching of Elder
Swan, an eccentric revivalist. At midnight the
protracted meeting closed and the elder sent
the Captain to his boarding-place with the in
junction to pass the remainder of the night in
solitary prayer. During that period he w r as
seen by the people of the house on his knees,
with the hot tears bathing his bronzed face, and
overheard in his prayer as follows: “Oh Lord
—Thou know est 1 have been one of the ——
that ever sailed deep water. Thou
knowest I have been one of the <1 1 scoffers
that ever struck a whale. Thou knowest I have
raised —— from Genesis to Revelation,” etc.,
etc.
The Captain was received into the church, and
he ever after exemplified the lift* of a Christian.
Of his conversion the elder quaintly said: “He
w r as struck under conviction by one of the
church’s heaviest harpoons, and towed into the
heavenly port, and we found in the old fellow
an abundance of the oil of faith.”
Imposing on the Judge.
FYont the Dakota Bell.
A man was brought into court in one of the
several prohibition counties in Dakota charged
with selling liquor. He was sentenced to thirty
days in jail. Among the evidence submitted
was a quart bottle full of whisky. When the
court adjourned the Judge sidled up to the
prosecuting attorney and said:
"Full bottle of whisky, ain’t it?”
“Yes.”
“Smells ’sif it was mighty good stuff, eh?”
“You bet it is good stuff.”
“Say! the court oughter have that, d’ye know
it?"
“No, sir l”
Can’t you divide with the court?”
“Not much!”
“Look here—you and the constable ain’t go
ing to hog that whole bottle, tsai jw?”
“That’s just it.”
“Going off together to have a b’iiin’ drunk?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, that’s a thunderin’ pretty way to use
this court! Say! gimme that bottle of liquor
and I’ll go to jail with the prisoner and let you
run things to suit yourself for the whole thirty
days."
Stars in the Day Time.
From the Chicago News.
Lewis Swift, the astronomer of the Warner
observatory at Rochester, has put the common
belief that ' stars may be seen in the (lay time
from the bottom of a well,” with such other
ptpular delusions as the germinat ion of wheat,
i?anh, efc., from the mummy pits of Egypt, 11*
imbedment of live frogs in solid granite, the
dropping from the clouds of live reptiles (unin
jured by a fall of a half mile or more), the ejec
tion from the human stomach of snakes, ha
zards, frogs, etc., alive: the localization of water
in the ground, for the digging of v.'elis, by the
use of a forked stick of witch hazel—the “divin
ing rod;’’ the extinguishment of fire by sunshine;
the burning of air by passing over a very hot
stove; the close connection of weather changes,
as well as the germination of seeds and future
growth of plants therefrom, with the changing
phases of the moon, and other vagaries.
Luring the construction of the Hoosac tunnel
a shaft was sunk in the mountain to the depth
of nearly half a mile. Prof. Swift wrote to the
engineer in charge of the enterprise asking him
if, when the sky was cloudless, he could from
the bottom or the shaft see stars in the (lay
time. His answer was, as expected, an em
phatic “No."’ It is owing to the luminosity of
the air that stars cannot be seen by day, and
this luminousness is not diminished by descend
ing into a well.

Nathan M. Levy in Judge.
Oh, the music that evening seemed doubly en
trancing,
And Dora, my loved one, was fairer than ever,
In the swell and fanfare of the gayest of dauc
ing;
I vowed from mine idol I’d separate never.
The vast charm of her eyes and the spell of her
glancing
So thrilled me, I said that doubt’s chain I
would sever;
And her innocent ways, all her graces enhancing,
Impelled my faint heart to the boldest en
deavor.
On the sofa we sat; all my languago fell teeming
With eloquence horn or a longing unbounded;
The soft touch of her hand set mo quickly to
dreaming.
The sound of her voice my rapt senses con
founded ;
As her eyes thrilled me through with their
effluent I teaming.
My soul with a rapture ecstatic surrounded,
All the earth was a heaven in the fairest of
seeming.
And joy’s loudest anthem was there for me
sounded.
I’m sure that to learning I’d show no defiance,
Alas, though, Its triumphs with sorrows are
laden!
For thnt night at the ball the electric appliance
Went wrong—and I blessed the blank dark
nest; we stayed In;
And as there in the darkness I breathed my
affiance,
Ehue! though I thought myself dwelling in
Aidenn,
Dora fled, aud another sat down with much
science—
My arms were encircling a red-headed maiden!

Front this it was easy enough to calculate that
one snail can craw l a mile in lust fourteen, days.

Morris Johnson, of Indianapolis, once a
skilled mechanic, lost his place because he lost
three fingers from his right hand and could not
work. He tried peddling and became discour
aged because he made so little. Then he took to
drinking, and his wife took in washing. The
other day he came home intoxicated, went up
stairs, took off his boots, seized his revolver, and
softly crept down again. As he entered the
kitchen where his wife was washing ’a neighbor
entered a side door. She could not see Mrs
Johnson, but she saw Mr. Johnson point the
revolver at something, and so she jumped and
grabhed it. Johnson fired twice, hut the neigh
bor’s grasp prevented good aim. and then he
ran up stairs and with one more shot killed him
self.

Mste. Zni,ENonoßOFr, the widow of Capt.
Zelenogoroff, who, with eight others, was shot
at Rustchuk on Feb. 22 by order of the regents,
has given the following Recount of the execu
tions: “My husband and the rest were sentenced
to death late in the evening of Feb. 21 and shot
at I o’clock next morning. On the morning I
was prostrated by illness, and my husband had
only time to write a few rapidly-ne;idled words
before he was led to his grave. I will show you
the note, which with the ring on my finger are
the only moment oes I now possess. This is
what happened. The nine victims were placed
before their shallow, short gravea, which were
not more than four feet in length and a foot and
a half deep. My husband refused to have his
eyes handnged, and tore open the tunic of his
uniform, that it might not lie riddled,
saying that his coat was not guilty or
treason. The firing party numbered
ninety, and yet my husband was left unscathed
after the first volley. At the second and thin!
discharge ho was wotuuied and fell. Then the
officer in charge advanced to give him the coup
tie grace, and emptied five chamticrs of his re
volver before the "murder’of my husband was
completed. Then the crowd n shed in and hire
the boots and clothes off the then warm bodies
which were pitched into two small graves and
then trodden down. My huslmnd's feet were
hacked off so that his poor, mutilated corpse
might be made to fit the grave. It was all very
horrible. The dogs came in the night and we
had to set guardians over the grave. Bubse
