THE INTERNAL REVENUE.
Argru-
Senator Morgan Exposes the
ment for Its Repeal.
From the Senator’* Boston speech.
“Who oppose this work of national
safety? The Treasury raiders, who
look to that source for support, are. of
course, opposed to a reduction of the
spoils they seek to capture. So the
men are opposed to any reduction who
rejoice to find at any time any surplus
money in the Treasury, to which re
sort may be had for their purposes of
public improvement, more reform, uni
versal education by the Government,
benevolence to people in distress, and a
general pragmatical interference in the
affairs of other people. Other classes
agree to a reduction of the surplus rev
enue in the Treasury, but they differ
with free whiskey to drown his woes
rathe? than give up his tariff tax of 7&
Dents a ton on coal. But I do not care
to worry you with a disquisition upon
the difference it would make in the
comfort of a poor family to retain the
tax on whiskey, and reduce it on plain
woolen wear for women and children
and workingmen, and on 'salt, sugar,
hats and'shoes, or even “bristles.”
That is all plain enough to be under
stood of all men. It does seem fatu
ous that any statesman should ask the
abolition of the tax on whiskei 7 , and of
the laws that regulate the production
of whiskey, before the States have
made full preparation to meet this
change in the laws of the United
States. I do not know' of any State
that has laws to regulate distilleries, as
to their taxation, location or number.
Without such laws the business of dis
tilling would be as free in all respects
as that of growing grain.

liberal to the degree of extravagance
and of injustice to the tax-paying class

bureaus, public buildings and other va
rious expenditures. Congress, when it

of surplus money by taxation, to fur
ther stimulate the inventive power of
men to find new objects on which to
bestow it. The wicked injustice and
tyranny of taxation for such purposes
are enough to condemn it; but that be
comes insignificant, in view of the dan
gers of an assault upon the virtue of
the people, whom their representatives
in Congress would be tempted to de
bauch with bribes for their votes, to be
paid out of this surplus. When we ac
cumulate by taxation a surplus in the
Treasury merely 7 to gain-the political or
personal influence which its expendi-
tuiie will give us, we may be justly ac
cused of having corruptly 7 destroyed the
fairest heritage of liberty that ever de
scended from sires to sons. Taxes
should only be levied for the support of
the. government, and fealty 7 to this dec
laration is included in the oath of every
man who swears to support the Consti
tution. Taxes levied to enable Con
gress to apply the money 7 extorted
from the people to other purposes, of
private benefit, are the mere spoils of
robbery 7 . The other expedient for shel
tering the tariff from any reform, and
from all consideration or question, is
the repeal of the tax on whiskey. This
expedient has a curious medley of ad
vocates. The alleged Democratic apo
thegm, that “an internal tax is an in
fernal tax,” is quoted lustily by high
protectionists of the Republican faith
as the climax of ‘wit and wisdom. If
that is true, what shall we say of the
tax on the national banks? What
shall we say of all taxation by the
States?, For that is all internal taxa
tion. What denunciation shall we
cast, upon Illinois, who must tax her
people to pay for a vindication of jus
tice that is of more value to the United
States, in a single act, than the services
of our standing army of 25,000 men
would be in five years. Apothegms are
remarkable sayings, but they are often
remarkably false. Some of the higher
thinkers among the Prohibitionists
have discovered an immorality in the
fact that the government recognizes
property in whiskey by 7 taxing it. If
■tv in it, the argument might be logi-
il; but we must know that the quan-

South, no more potent agency Ion the

whiskey. Whoever it was, in the time
of our sectional hatred and retaliation,
t hat desired a plan for “organizing a
hell in the South,” was mercifully
blinded when he failed to see the
“infernal revenue” that his Satanic
majesty would gather in that section
by means of free distilleries. To turn
loose this flood of evil upon the States,
traints of the national laws upon the
distillation of whiskey, would lead to
communities in the South. The States
must act first, and he ready to receive
this flood before we tear down the
dykes that the federal laws have built
for their protection. If they 7 wait un
til these are swept away 7 , they will be a
long time engaged in assembling the
voting power required to repair the
damage or remove the evil. Until the
States have put up their guards, I will
never consent that this assault shall be
made on their unprotected people. A
cause must be sadly in need of the sup
port of Justice, morally, and of sound
foundations in reason, that can find no
better support than is claimed for the
present tariff in the suggestien that its
excessive extortions can he spent in
Congressional jobbery, or can be allow
ed to stand in the, place of the tax on
whiskey. A party driven to such
straits for the upholding of a vicious
system cannot long maintain the con
fidence of the country.”
A venerable New Yorker recently
advertised, asking any one who wished
to go to Europe, under pleasant auspic
es, to apply to him, and giving his ad
dress. This advertisement was seen
late one night by a young man, who
had been dining freely. He cogitated
awhile, and then told the club porter
to call a cab, into which porter and cab
by assisted him. He told the man to
drive to the address given in the adver
tisement. Arrived there, he was assist
ed to the sidewalk, and with much dig
nity ordered the eabbyl to practice on
the knocker of the old-fashioned resi
dence. The advertiser stuck his vener
able head out of the window, and
howled:
“What do you mean by waking me up
at this hour?”
“Come t’ansher ’vertishment.”
“Well, sir, what have you to say?”
“That’s orl. I've come to shay very

In the Bethesda Mission.
» There fa One bright 'spot in the very
heart of the •-levee” district' It is the
Bethesda Day Nursery. It fa in a wretched
neighborhood—a district where dissipa
tion and sin and sorrow and poverty
abound. The population is a horrid
mixture, including the worst colored
element and tiie most vile characters of
the levee white population. The streets
are frequented hv bad characters by day,
and arc the scene of bjawfa and fights by
night. Div^ and dens and gambling re
sorts, and doubtful locking places, make
the place one to be avoided by all re
spectable people. It is in the very heart
of this place that the Women’s Christian
Temperance union is carrying on its most
effective local mission work.
But its most flourishing department is
the Bethesda day n ursery. The work of this
branch is presided over by Mrs. William
Sevant, who seems to be peculiarly
adapted for charitable work. The nur
sery was opened in November, 18^6, and
from that date it has been the home of
the babe from the little tiling 2 weeks
old to the child of There the little
ones live and chatter and coo and crow,
and cry and laugh and eat and drink
during the day time, while their wid
owed or deserted mothers are out
scrubbing or washing, striving to earn
a livelihood for her family. Mrs. Sevant
has been very successful in her work,
but, of course, does not receive the liber
al donations in aid of the little ones that
she desires. She has secured as matron
Mrs. M. B_ Smith, who has the immedi
ate care of tho nursery. It is located on
the second and third floors of the build
ing, immediately above the mission
chapel, and is fitted up with a view to
th" comfort of the babies. Mothers who
are striving to earn an honest living and
who are obliged to w 7 ork out by the day,
may carry their little ones to the nursery
in the morning and call for them again
at night when they return from the hard
day’s toil to their miserable homes. They
ar,‘ asked to pay each day ten cents, if
they c;n; five cents if they cannot afford
ten; two cents if they can spare it, and
notliing if thdy have naught to give.
The reporter was taken into the nursery
the other afternoon, in the midst of the
twenty-three babies, and the sight that
met his astonished gaze cannot well be
described. It may be said at the outset
that the nursery clothes and feeds these
little ones, as well as furnishes them a
day home. Hence they were all clean
and neatly clad. The youngest was three
weeks old. It was tugging away at a
well filled bottle for dear life, and had an
extensive growth of black hair. Its eyes
were jet black and piercing, and there
was a smile upon its fat little face.
In the “crib room” babies were sleep
ing and cooing and crying and laughing
and rolling upon the floor. It was a
queer sight. To see the babies in the
dining room is worth the walk to the
nursery. There are three long, narrow
tables. One is about twelve inches high
from the floor, and the little chairs that
surround it give the scene an old
fashioned appearance. The other two
are a little higher, but the “high chair”
business has been abolished. Twenty
babies at dinner! Well, it is worth
seeing. It takes four nurses to pick up
spoons. And the baby food. It is de
licious, which is evidenced by the keen
appetites of the babies. They are a
friendly lot at the table, and are allowed
considerable latitude. Johnny dips his
spoon, for instance, into Eddie’s dish.
As an appreciation of this Eddie lands a
left hand full of bread and milk just under
Johnny’s left eye. Spoons are thrown
aside and a hair pull tug of war sets in,
which is lovingly terminated by the
gentlfe hands of the nurse. Such is
happy baby life at the Bethesda nursery.

Stealing from Actors.
Actors often suffer from thieves while
on the road. It is not their valuables—
diamonds, 1 - caph and the like movables—
which disappear as often as 4heir profes
sional appurtenances, which have less
monetary value, but whose loss often
causes distressing inconvenience. Eugene
O’Rourke sings a pretty and pleasing
song, “Papa, Sweet Mamma and Me.”
One day while the company was. staying
in one of the interior Michigan towns the
entire orchestra score disappeared, hav
ing been appropriated by a local leader
whose stock of fresh music had run low
and who wanted to get a new number
for his repertory cheaply. As there was
not a second copy of the orchestra score
and the song could not be sung without
an accompaniment. ‘ ‘Papa, Sweet Mam
ma and Me” had to retire until the work
of orchestration could again be done.
“I can tell of stranger things than
that,” said an old time actor. “You
have no idea of the rapacity of the
tliieves who rob traveling professionals,
nor of their persistency. I knew a leader
who had a violin which lie prized very
highly and watched zealously—even slept
with it under his pillow'. Well, sir, a
fellow up in Muskegon, I think it was,
took a notion to have tliat violin. He
followed the company from town to
town, and after a week’s cat at a rat hole
watching, he got an opportunity and
sneaked it. Why, they steal our caff*,

Arizona's Buried City.
‘‘In to-night’b lecture,” said Lieut.
: Frank Hamilton Cushing ot a special
meeting of the Academy of Science, “I
I will detail, first, the circumstances which
! led up to my discovery of ancient Los
j Muertos, or the City of the Dead, in the
; Salt River valley ot Arizona, and then
j show the relations of the characteristics
of this city to those of the modern Zuni,
and vice versa.
“At an early age I contracted the habit
of wandering almut the woods of western
New York and discovering fossils, cu
rious stones, etc., and from their resem
blance to living forms I had seen I tried
to formulate some theory as to their
origin. These theories. I subsequently
found, harmonized very wonderfully with
tliose entertained by a whole people as a
religious belief. I refer to the Zunis. I
began to ponder whether there was any
system observed by these people in this
matter, and I was led to observe charac
teristics of soil and topography which ac
companied the occurrence of a camp site
among the Indians.” 7
After minutely describing his course of
training - , this respect, and showing
how, even in plowed fields, traces of
former human occupation had been dis
covered. Professor Cushing referred to
the five or six years he had lived with
the Zunis, and said that the narration of
his experiences and discoveries had so in
terested a New England lady named Mrs.
Hemingway tliat she organized the Hem
ingway Southwestern Ethnological ex
pedition to carry out the line of bis ex
plorations, ami tills led to the discovery
of Los Muretos.
“A number of like mounds,” con
tinued the speaker, *-happened to meet
my gaze, and hidden away under the
mesquite forest I saw unmistakable signs
of an ancient Indian village. Art re
mains—fragments of pottery and other
peculiarities precisely similar to those
found in Zuni—were discovered. After
several feet of excavation had been made
the walls of a veritable city more tli;iq
three mile's in length were laid bare.
From deductions made from all the sur
roundings I concluded that the newly
discovered city was about twenty timers
the size of the modern Zuni. The archi
tecture may be characterized as com
posed of terra cotta.
“Thirty-three blocks of houses have
already been excavated. The population
of Zuni being 1,600 souls, that of Los
Muertos may be estimated at that about
eleven centuries ago, when it was aban
doned. The, most interesting character
istic which proved that the city had been
overwhelmed by a succession of earth
quakes was that the walls opened up, as
it were, as though they were on hinges
at the bottom. Similar peculiarities havu
been observed during the recent earth
quakes in Mexico.
“On account of the suddenness of t.** j
catastrophe the inhabitants had no time
to remove a single article, and, there
fore, all that could withstand the effe> t
of time are scattered about as in the day*
of their use, such as ancient jars, mills
and axes. The latter bunches, with their
handles burned off, lie on the ground as
they fell.
“A most interesting discover} 7 was
made, ” said the lecturer, 1 ‘respecting the
pottery in this ancient village. The
water jars contained an apparently arti-
tific-ial break in the continuity of an or
namental band on the exterior and the
food jars on the interior precisely similar
to those of the Zunis, so that I am led to
believe from this and other peculiarities
that the inhabitants of Los Muertos were
the ancestors of the Zunis. These bands,
I found, while living with the latter
people, were not caused accidently, and
possessed a deep meaning.
“I endeavored to learn the unmanly
art of making pottery, for the women
always make it, and while sitting among
them molding some clay, I commenced
to whistle softly. The women rose in
hoiTor and exclaimed; ‘Child! child!’
I was amazed, but an old woman led me
aside and said: ‘You must never whistle
or sing or make any sound that would
awake an echo in the canyon while mak
ing pottery, for if you do the voice will
go out while it is burning and the pot
tery will crack.’
“All savages, I found, believed that
everything that has motion, heat or sound
of itself must have life. The Zunis have
observed' that whenever a vessel breaks
or becomes useless, in other words when
it dies, it gives a loud twang, especially
during the burning process, and they
think a vessel fa imitative like the echo.
Furthermore, they think when a vessel is
put on the fire that it sings, and they be
lieve that the vague existence they give to
the vessels has something to do with the
good qualities of the food taken from
them.
“They would not let me whistle be
cause they believe the sound of my voice
would enter the clay and break it when it
was subjected to heat. These ideas give
a more rational aspect to the superstitious
feeling the savages bear towards their
fetiches and idols.
•-I supposed there were no Zuni ruins
west of the center of Arizona, but here,
much further in that direction than I
could ever have imagined, I found this
marvelous city of the dead. The Zunis
consider their households as entities, and
by a natural course of reasoning they
have te-en led to l>elieve tliat their house
hold articles should take their place
among their gods. The Zunis’ conn j>-
tion of the soul is very curious. It is i
supposed that the priests of heredity have j
also hv hereditv jiower over their own |
souls, which enables them on great oe- |
casinos to separate their souls from their
bodies, and at death they d<> not require
any ceremonial or sacrifice, like ordinary
mortals.”—San Francisco Examiner.
