e DAY. DECEMBER 4, 1883, THE DAILY BEE:- - OMAHA TUE Cannot' Bay It in the - Bar-rooms. What an absurd idea it is to send a sick man, with an ailing stomach, a torpid liver, and impoverished blood, to a bar-room to swallow some stimulating stuff, and call it medicine! An enormous amount of mischicf jsconstantly done by men who thus trifle with themselve Instead of healing® their discases, they ma them worse. Instead of gaining strength they only acquire the dis- graceful habit of tippling. It is a point worth noting in con- nection with Brown's Iron PBitters, that this valuable medicine is not sold in bar-rooms, and will not be. Itis not a drink. Itis a remedy It is not made to tickle the palate of old tope Tt is made to heal di case.

Continved from Page 1. what ean be proposed which will give to the banks safegnard against loss in tak- ing and issuing circulating notes? 1 am not in favor of anything but the interest- bearing obligations of the United States government. To go abroad for the se curities of other states, is to go out of our political and judicial jurisdiction and * | subject ourselves to the hazards of their intestine commotion, of the international | conflicts, of possible hostility to this country, and of going before atrange tribunals as, perhaps, an unwelcome suitor, Thore are proposttions, the vertebral idea of which is the creation of a new torm of public debt. A plausible one is, for the government to offer a new bond, of its own issue, at a low rate of inter- est, to run a long period, in exchange for its four per cents and four-and-a-half per cents, allowing such a rate of pre- mium upon the latter, but lower than that at present ruling, as would induc the hu{(h-rn to surrender them and tak the new; and to make this a security for bank circulation. 1 doubt not that this is feasible, In that way a holder of fours or four-and-a-halfs could capitalize the premium allowed on his bond and draw interest at the new rate on that as well as on the principa!, wherely there would be an inducement to exchange, rather than to hold, or, in the present difficulty of desirable reinvestment, to sell. 1 am persuadsd from the official experience of the last year, that capital is ready and willing to take, at a low rate of - terest, all the United States bonds that can roasonably be issued, provided they be at long time of payment of principal. Should this project be favorably con sidered, details can be furnished. Yet I am 8o adverso to recommending the creation of another or a different public debt, that as great as are, in my judg- ment, the advantages of the national bank circulation in safety, in uniformity of value everywhere, and in other mat- ters of ccnvenience and confidence, 1 look upon such project as a dernier ye- sort. 1rather recommend, and so I do, that the internal revenue tax upon circu- lation be taken off, in whole or in part. This is 1 per cent. per annum, and amounts to about three millions and a quarter each year. The maximum amount of issued to 286 state banks, organized either under the safety-fund or froe-banking systems of the state of New York, was $060,754,614, and the amount of unre- deemed circulation in 18756 was §1 397, or 2,63 per cent of the highest am- ount issued. The greatest ameunt of circulation issued to 707 state banks, in twelve states, including the state of New York, was $114,671,34 the amount outstanding, §2,(96,282, and the propor- tion unredeemed, 2.4 per cent. The pro- portion of national-bank notes redecmed, is much greater than that of state-bank notes under the old system. Of 40 na- tional banks which failed previous to 1876, having a circulation of $6,415,934, the proportion unredeemed is L.98 per cent. Of 51 national banks in volu.tary liquidation previous to 1870, having a circulation of $5,844,740, the percentage unredeomed was 1.42 per cent; of 38 banks that went into liquidation in 1870, 1871, 1872, having a circulation of $4,- 917,340, the proportion unredeemed as 1.50 per cent., and of the 76 banks in liquidation during the three following years, having a circulation of $7,823,. 2805, tho percentago was 3,60 per cent., while the proportion unredeemed in the whole of the 165 banks above named, having a circulation of 818,087,306, was 2.36 . per cent. SURPLUS REVENUES, That there is likely to be a continuing surplus in the treasury over the ordinary expenses of the government, so long as the grelent revenue laws remain, is seen by those attentive to fiscal affairs, This has called out propositions for the dis- posal of surplus public moneys; two of which may be noticed. One 18, that the surplus be parcelled out among the states of the union, This, though it has beén ingeniously argued, has not so approved itself to the common sense of the people, as now to call for elaborate statement of roasons why it should not be adopted. The public sense is shrewd enough to see, that a debtor owinga large sum, upon intorest which he must pay at short in- tervals, and some of the principle of which he may pay off whenever he pleases and thus save interest, would not be deemed a good manager of affairs, if he shoulo give away, or loan on terms yield- ing no income and not likely to insure punctual repayment, the means which 0od luck or prudent conduct had put in his hands; and that it would be wiser for him, with the cash he had, to extinguish 80 much as he could of the debt against him, And the United States has such means, and owes such debts. It owes i [over a billion and a quarter of dollars, which is running upon interest, It has ¢ho option to pay over three millions of the debt whenever it pleases. It must pay the interest on the principal unpaid, at short intervals. It is not good sense, nor is it common prudence, to give away or loan its means, instead of using them to pay the debts against it, while, be. couso of its abundant prosgerity, it is easy to doso, There is neither direot or consequential benefit to that body-politic, which is the United States, in the course that is proposed. A surplus is in hand, No way to use it 8o well, so directly and unerringly, as with it to pay off A up that debt. It admits of no doubt that thus the people of the Union are well served, and their money so’paid as to re- dound to their lasting advantage. CUSTOMS, The revenue from the customs for the fiscal yoar end June 30th, 1882, was $220,410,73 ; that of the last fiscal year was $214,700,496.93; « decrease of 85,704, 233 52, Charges of fraud and irregularity in the administration of the law enacted to carry out the treaty with Hawaii, so far as concerns the exemption of sugars from duty, having beon made both in public bodies and in the public prints, 1 appointed a commission of thres trust- worthy persons to fully investigate the matter. Their report, which will be duly transmitted to congress, fails to show that such charges have any foundation, Customhouse fees began with the act of March 2, 1799. It was thought that the customs service would be practically self-sustaining, and that the burden of its maintainance should fall on those who . | had dealings with it, with nominal sal- aries only, in addition to the fees, The system has not been self-supporting, he aggregate amount of fees collected in about 80,000,000, de ed salaries ie obvi advantogs of i irculation | & $000,000 per annun; the cost of collecting the customs revonue is over These fees are made up of suall and annoying exactions from im- porters and ship owners, difticult to col- ect, and involving much unprofitable’ clerical work in accounts. Besides that, the sum of them, in instances, is so large as to compensate the officer beyond ous. An objectionable feature of the present system is the temptation at small ports to obtain “additional compensation for storage” under the bonded warehouse system. Then, too, is the uncertainty of the amount of compensation. By the act of June 1874, congress recognized all this, and gave fixed salaries to the officers of leading posts, but left others unchanged. There arc useless custom districts, and nothing but local pride or interest will disagree therefrom. There are twenty- two ports of entry at which not a dollar of duties has been collected for years, at | different times. There are thirty-two | ports of entry in which the year's collec tions from all our sources equalled the year's expenses n- solidation of districts and diminution of ports of entry arc called for by sound business considerati 1 may be accomplished without increasing smug- ¢ or withdrawing proper facilities for menting vessels, INTERNAL REVENUE, | doc From the various objects of taxation under the internal revenue laws, as re- jorted by the commissioner of internal revenue, the receipts for the fiscal years 0, 1882 and 1883, were re- ,023,273.72, and $144,- The increase of revenue ring the last fiscal year 7.02; from fermented the decrease and from 7, The spirits from Vi ®4,4 was from tobacco, banks and bankers, £1,604,46: total decrease of internal revi all sources up to June 20, $1,969,928.86. These figures differ some- what from the amounts actually covered into the treasury, as shown in the first part of this report. The cost of collect- ing the internal revenun for the fiscal year was $06,113,74.88, The estimated cost for the same work for the current year is $4,900,100, The quantity of spirits produced and deposited in listil lery warehouses during the fiscal year ended June 0, 1883, is less than the production of 1882 by 31,830,853, and of 1881 by 14,842 gallons, REDUCTION OF TAXATION. The only United States bonds whice are now payable at the pleasure of the government are the 3 per cents, bein- $530,520,000; those which next becom redeemable are the £250,000,000 of 4 per cents, on September 1, 1801, Th 737,620,700 of 4 per cents and th 125,850 of refunding certificates are ro deemable July 1, 1907. The estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1884, show a surplus revenue of $85,000,000 per annum. This is enough to pay all the 3 per cents in about three R0 GASAE years, and before the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1887, This surplus kept up for four succeeding years, up to September 1, 1891, wouldbo more than $350,000,000, or $100,000,000 more than enough to pay all bonds then falling due. The same annual surplus until July 1, 1907, would amount, with the £100,000,000 left after paying the 4} per cents, to about $1,460,000,000, whils the whole amount of the debt then re- deemable is less than $740,000,000, The estimated surplus of $85,000,000 a year would pay the whole amount of the in- terest bearing debt in about 15 years. The only authority possessed by the treasury department whereby it can re- store to business the surplus thus accu- mulated is that given to the secretary by the act of March 3, 1881, by which he may at any time apply the surplus money in the treasury not otherwise appropriat- ed, to the purchase or rodemption of United States bonds, This can now be done to other than the three per cents only by the payment of a large and in- creasing premium thereupon. And when it is considered that nearly one-half of the interest-bearing debt of the United States is held by national banks, state banks and trust companies, and much other of it by private trustees and other Keruonn acting in fiduciary capacity, who ave no wish to surrender these securi- ties, the difficulty of acting under the provision cited is manifest. Moreover, it cannot be assumed that the estimated surplus for the current and next years under existing laws, will remain at the same rate as succeedin yours. The increasing population an swelling business of the country will add to, rather than take from, the amount of the surplus as now estimated, while the decrease of interest on the public debt, and probably of the amount disbursed by the pension bureau, as arrears of pen- sions are paid off, should diminish ex- penditures, As a general principle, the good of the l)anvlo requires that a publie debt should be” paid as soon as it may be without sreatly onerous taxation, or disturbance of business interests which have been fos- tered, perhaps stimulated, by provisions of law once expedient. Though of the public debt resting upon us, it is to be considered that the object for which it was in the main incurred, was the good of coming generations, as well as of that which incurred it, and that it is not un. just to them that, reaping & measure of the benefita it purchased, they should boar their share of the burden of pay- ment. But as our interest-bearing pufi- lic debt is over one billion and & quarter of dollars ($1,312, 60 in exact figures,) and about §250,000,000 and about $740,000,000 of it beyond our reach for payment, for about nine years and seventeen years, respectively, and may not bo brought in by purchase, save at heavy rates of premiumn, even if it can by paying those rates, there is forced upow our attention the question, how shall a heaped-wp surplus of public money be avoided? The discussion of this ques- tion in former reports of this department admits of but one consistent answer from it now; the views therein expressed have not been given up, There ought to be a reduction of taxation. QUARANTINE OF NEAT-CATTLE, The appropiatious, under which this department has ecstablished regulations for the quarantine of imported neat-cat- tle, are limited in their use to the pre- vention of the disease known as pleuro- pneumonia, or lung plague. Quarantine stations have been established for the ports of Portland, Me., Boston, New York city, and Laltimore. Suitahk ac- commodations in sheds and yardy have been provided for about 215" full g cattle at Portland, 700 at Boston, 4 New York, and 550 at Baltimore importations for the current yes have boen much larger than were ekpected from the importations of forme' years, More than 1,100 head were at pne time quarantined at the port of Bogon, and he importations at timore Ive been about 900 head, which exceed the im- portations of the previous six fears com- jined. 1t is believed that th¢accommo- dations at the ports named ay sufficient for any demand that is likfly to oceur during the next year. It is fleemed os- sential to the protection of or herds and flocks from infection with ll{ *foot and mouth” disease, that suthjrity bo con- ferred upon the departmerf to enforce a quarantine against sheep swine and goats aiso; as this disease fs as liable to be communicated by thens noat-cattle, Thero is 1o law nu\hrniziz the quaran tining of any animals ex¢Dt neat cattle, / / In one case, at least, the foot and mouth disenso was bronght in, but, the quaran. tine aystem detecting it, its spread was effectually prevented. It is believed that the knowledge that our government is enforcing a rigid quar- antino, to prevent the importation of contagions diseases from abroad, is already exercising a salutary offect upon Great Britain. ~ Perseverance in it, 18 likely to induce Great Britain to rescind her order ed thither from the United States, which | is & hindrance to our exporters. IMMIGRATION, The administration of the ‘‘act to r ulate immigration,” approved August 3, | 1882, with the general supervision of | which this department is charged, has | been attended with a reasonable measure of success, Thereare certain restrictive features of the law which hinder the full accomplishment of its purpose. Some of these were noted in my last report, ac- companied by recommendations of l(-uin-i lation for their removal, The experience | of another year has confirmed the views then expressed. The fund created by the act is derived from a tax on alien passengers, collected at the port at which they land from vessel. The law makes no provision for sick and disabled immi- grants, except at the port at which they may land. An immigrant arriving at New York, and ticketed to Albany, Buf- falo, Chicago, or any other interior city, reaching his destination sick and without means, falls upon the local authorities for care, They have no_recourse upon the head money collected at the port of arrival, The oversight and care of the government should, for a time, be over the immigrant after he has left the place of landing, and reciprocal action and use of funds to that end should be had by the ofticrrs at various ports, The coilections and disbursements of the immigrant fund from the date of the passage of the immigrant act (August 3, 1882,) to the close of the last fiscal year are as follows: Receipts, as shown by net deposits, ,284.50; expenditnres, £170,910.16. Of the recui!)u. £178,446 50 were collected at New York, and $162,- 71 were expended at that port. In addition to the expenditures from the immigrant fund made at New York by the commissioners of immigration, some- what more than £30,000 was received by them from the state of New York and expended for like purposes. 1t will thus be seen that the reccipts of head money at New York have not alone been suffi- cient to defray the expenses incidental to the administration of the local affairs of immigration there. It is for congress to consider whether, if the expenditures have been wisely made, there should not be a heavier capitation tox authorized. The total number of immigrants arriving in the United States during the year ended June 30, 1883, was 603,322, being a decrease of 185,670, as compared with the preceding year. THE PACIFIC RAILROADS, Difficulties and differences have arisen hotween this department and the Pacific railroads, in the administration of the laws for the reimbursement of the United States, fcr moneys directly or indir paid by it for their use or bepefit. gation has ensued, and the courts have adjudicated upon the issucs ‘made. The cases are: The United States va. Union Pacific railroad company, 91 U. S. Rep., | 91; Union Pacific railroad vs the United States, 16 Ct. Claims Rep., 253. They will show the points of difference, and that the judgements were adverse to the claims made in behalf of the United States. See, also, the sinking fund cases, 99 U. S. Rep., 700; Union Pacific raiboad vs. United States, 104 U. S., 662; Central Branch Union Pacific rail- ad vs, United States, 16 Ct. Claims, ; Pacific railroad cases, 16 Ct. Claims, 859. The report of the first comptroller of the treasury for this year, beginning at page 8, presents an elaborate state- ment of the existing relations of the gov- ernment and these corporations, and to that report | crave leave to rofer. In the meantime it has become apparent that the sinking fund provided for by the act of May 7, 1878, will be inadequate to meet the objects of that statute. More- over, monoys invested by this depart- ment to be added to that fund may not be invested to the satisfaction of all in- terested, and lying idle, they yield no in- come, to the harm of all concerned. The treasury holds bonds in trust as follows: 1. For the Pacific railroads sink- ing funds— (a) Union Pacific company. . (b) Centra company. .. 2, Indiae trust fun 4. Miscellaneous . ,000 00 It alse holds cash for the Padific rail- roads sinking funds: For the Union Pac s Kor the Central Pacih railroad 1,134, 8 803,118 95 These sums have not been invested, as the department has lacked the consent of the railroad companies to the purchase of the securities proposed by Safe securities have been so high in market value that the companics wero averse to the purchase. The whole subject of an advisable method by which the govern- ment may finally and assuredly obtain payment of the debt it holds against the corporation needs the attention ef con- gress. 1t is plain that there is a need of con- gressional intervention, and tion to place the relations of the con- tracting parties in a condition to benefit them all, The United States cmnmis—l_ sioner of railroads, in his report for 1882, made accurate statements upon this subject, and suggeitions of logisla- tion which, in their general scope, cowm- mend themselves to the judgment of this department, and, as this department is ok T acceptable to those cor- porations. 1t s understood by the department that tho com- missioner will, in his report for this year, renew his recommendations, and he will submit a bill for the «onsid emtion of congress, designed to remove differences and difficulties, to end litiga gation and ofticial embarrassment, and to put the pecuniury relations of the parties on a basis satisfactory to all, A draught for immediate slaughter of cattle export- | only and ouvrieres enter the downward path of moral ruin, the republic, which, though nominally confined to the fourteenth of July, con- | [ tinues for several Sundays afterwards, [ there is much dancing and all the ordi nary amusements of a fair.

They have | a simple dinner at one of the numerous | restaurants in the neighborhood, and | wander in the woods plucking the wild | flowers, or find a quiet nook where one of the party reads aloud. These happy | afternoons fill the workman’s heart with joy, and he bogins to recall his childhood and to talk of his old home in some dis tant province, He takes his “‘allumette de campagne”, is joyously excited, but nothing more; the whole family return by trainor tram-car, laden with lilacs or wild-flowers, and eleven o' 3 Saturday eveniny is the favorite time for the theatre. The ouvrier prefers the drama, and if the scene is pathetic, is easily moved to tears. On Sunday afternoon a few visit the Louvre, the Luxembourg, and the Salqn, and other picture galleries when open. They are observed to pass the nude sub- jects characteristic of French art with indifference, and to fix their attoution mostly on historical scenes, or pictures which touch the teelings; a scene from aresafe in bed by her children, or an inundation, or a jamine, To judge from the way the ouvriers gather round hookstalls, and the avidity with which the young among them may be seen devouring a book while waiting for the tram reading must be a real enjoy- ment to the more intelligent. I have seen a young fellow in a blouse reading a book as he sat astride on the back of a heavy cart-horse. A friend, a lady who has made friends with an ouvrier family at Belleville, finds them not only to pos- sess a good library but to be well ac- quainted with French literature. When o workman is a reader his taste will be good. +He will despise novels, especially of the vicious order; his favorite books are histories of the revolution, such as Lamartine's *‘Girondins;” Louis Blanc’s *Dix Aus;” “Histoire de Deux Decem- bre,” ote.; and for classics, Voltaire, Rousseau, and perhaps Corneille. B MAJ. NIC ON'S DEFENSE, He Denies His Wife’s Charges and Accuses Her of' Unchastity. Washington Special to Chicago Daily News, Maj. Nickerson, late of the army, in filing an‘answer o the charges of his wife in her application for a divorce, makes a general denial and counter charges. He, in the springof 1878, while living in Omaha, unexpectedly returned to his house one night about half-past 10 or 11 o'clock, and noticed that, although the front parlor was lighted, there did not seem 1o be any ene there. Starting to go up-stairs, he saw through the doorway opening into the front parlor a gentleman dart quickly from the moonlighted back parlor into the front, and, picking up a book, seated himself abruptly by the drop-light. Directly afterward Mrs. Nickerson came from the moonlighted room to the front, and then she passed into the hall where she saw the defendant, who proceeded up-stairs to his room without speaking to her, The gentleman immediately left the house, and in the interview that followed between husband and wife sne attemted to Bustify herself by saying that she was teaching the gentleman to_waltz, This occurrence gave rise to such unpleasant relations that she took her little daughter and went to Culifornia, where she re- mained until August, 1883, when the defendant took her to Fort Vancouver, W. T. In March, 1879, they came to this city, and in the fall of that year he separated from her, until the July fol- lowing. He denies that he has lived with her since the fall of 1879. A year after his arrival in this city a disagreement arose between them. in_consequence of which she said she would leave him forever and go to Germany, taking the little daugh- ter, whom she would support and educate for n monthly compensation of not less than $1,000 ~ He offered to do the best he could for her, and wished to serve out his term of duty without any publicity being given to'the fact of their separa- tion. Upon that Mrs. Nickerson gave out that she was going abroad for her health and te educate her daughter, a statement to which the major assented. In the winter of 1881 82 he says he de- termined to spply for a divorce on the ground of desertion, one of the reasons prompting him to this being that he had received a letter from an old servant girl giving information that confirmed the statement that her marriage with himhad been one of convenience, and that six months before the marriage she had been devotedly attached to a married man. 18 UNFAILING m’n AND INFALLIBLE IN_cuning Epileptic Fits, H “ Spasm, Fulling Sickness, Couyul slons, 8t.
