Our esteemed Journalistic contemporaries
and tho seemingly Indignant senators who
are qo horrilled nt tho discovery Hint tlio
bill for rolmhiiralng the Methodist Hook
concern for lo < os sustained during tho
civil war was lobbied through congressnt
a ooat of about M00000 to tho gool men
who wero necking tho relief nro a long-
time waking up to senmlnls of this kind
Tho press and people and certainly tho
niombera of tho two houses qf congress
aro aware of the fact that Wuihlnglon W
full of lobbyists at all lines These pto
molcro of legislation nro ven kiiqwn by-
name and person to ovory ntc < lllgent sen-
ator and rcprtuetttativo Their advocacy
of any moasuro Is enough to put tho con-
gressman on notice They do not nlvvijs
champion bad bills but they rarely put
themselvtrt to tho tmuhlo ot championing
any measure unless then Is the prospect
of generous compensation for themselves
Arc tho senators who are now m > out-
raged at tho dlnclosurD1 with reference to
tills Methodist book < ncorn bill ot the
opinion that they can hoodwink the der
public by throwing up their hands In hor-
ror Havo they Imagined all this tlluo
that tho persistent ublqultou lobby with
ybtl they havo come In contact a thou-
sand llmfB is In Washington for Iti
health or for purely pntrlotlo and ills
lntcrcfcted purposes
Dont bellovo itl
The lobbyist flourishes at th capital and
wins notable successes simply heeauso ho
has mado tho nec sary congressional
connccllons It Is In fact next to an lm
t < asaltlllt to pot private legislation or
legislation not political through congress
without u skillful lobbyists Sfrvlros And
those who ilinio up there must pay the
fiddlers Men without menus and without
powerful Influences even though they have
Just claims and vlio measures grovv
gray as Norwegian ral while uustircess
fully haunting commlttf0 rooms mid capital
corridors for years
Tho virtuous spasm of Indignation or
surprlfo lu the senate therefore at find-
ing congress and the Methodist book con-
cern Stahlnianlird will not wash Tho
case was only one of those found out
TinTiHisim xcu tax
The fact that tho United States govern
stent has come to tho aaslstnco ot tho ad-
vocates ot an Inheritance tax by Incorpo-
rating Bjich a tax In tho new war revenue
bill will undoubtedly strengthen and
broaden n movement that has already fixed
Its policy in tho codes ot Bovcral ot tho
States
Millionaires who are unfortunato enough
to die during tho continuance of this war
will leave estates that must pay a tax un-
der most conditions of about 16 per ccfit
and the cstltnato Is made that withintho
next year from this tourco alone tho gov-
ernment will receive a revenuo of nearly
1100000001 H has been posalblo for
wealthy citizens to escape an Inheritance

they havo largely brought the trouble upon
themselves by systematically dodging tho
ordinary tax burdens of tho States Tho
effort made by tho local authorities to clr
curavent such attempts to nvold Just obli-
gations has been recently suntalncd as
constitutional by tho supremo court at
Washington and han suggested to tho Fed
cral government doubtless tbo wisdom
of resorting to a similar tax to reach
wealthy wouldbe delinquents
Unquestionably there will be case whero
an Inherltanro tax will bo unjust and ft
species of double taxation Many rich men
and largo cstatco pay their proportion nt
taxation in tho ordinary channels and to
take n large slice of tho fortune out of tho
hands of tho legatees before bequests or In-
heritances can pass looks like u species of
extortion Tho claim Is tnndo however
that tlio cases In which Injustice will bo
done will bo itiro cornpared with thofc
whero tho government only obttflns Its Just
dues after the death of tho millionaire
Thcro Is a practical effect likely from
tho general adoption of this policy of an in-
heritance tax thit In looked to for Innu-
merable good results It Is argued that
sitoli a tax will Induce tha owners of largo
fortunes practically to dlfposo of their as
Bets during their lifetime The closefist-
ed and narrowminded Vim hold great ea
tiitca without ever cojtrlbttllng to public
advancement In nnyway and aro rather
httmbllng blockn to progress will rupo
rtfllly bo disposed to avoid a heavy inherit-
ance tax and moved by scmo natural affec-
tion will dlvldo up heir possessions In
ainplo time to cseapo tho post moitoru as
Bossment
Whatever may bo tho rosulto It seems
certain that tho Inheritance tax idea t
growing in popularity and may sifcly bo
regarded oa htvltig como 0 etny and to
count new conquests It Is likely to be a
regular feature In all tax codes In this
country before uiuny more years

This dlrerlmlnation would never have

iclveel while in the servleo must now bo
made through tho regular cbinnels This
will tako considerable time and when the
discharges aro finally granted the men ln
lercBlrcl will havo to be sunt back home
at tho expense of the government
Tho opinion is freely expressed here by
competent authorities that companies com-
posed of 100 men will be altogether too
large for thieo oflicers to handle Tho only
provision made in the premises by tho war
decartment Is for six n Idltional corporals
making a total of twelve Thoso in n
position tn know say that without doubt
tho seniles of a Junior second lieutenant
In each company will be very necessary
Indeed but under the circumstances there
Is nothing tor tlio three company olllcers
lo do but go ahead and handle the men in
the best way they can
Tho recruits have been turned over to
noncommissioned officers for instruction
nnd drill and within a week or ten days
will lo sufficiently advanced to be placed
In thn ranks Additional tents for their
use Live been issued and they aro rapidly
being mado comfortablo In every possible
way
There seems to be but llttlo doubt that
more troops are to be sent horc although
no ofllcial Information on the subject can
bo hid Tho fact remains however that
Hrlgcidlcr General W C Oatcs cxgov
etnor of Alabama is ttlll here and that
up to date he hns nothing to command
In bouio nunrters It Is believed that General
Yvhcntoii will bo detached and sent to
Tamm or elsewhere General Oatcs being
put In to fill the vacancy thus created
whilo othcrt believe that tho three icgl
ments necessary to complete tho division
will bo brought here Immediately and
placed under Gcneial Oatcs
